Don'T Fall Asleep

It only took one night.
It only took one small sentence to unravel the bind that held her from humanity,
And release herself into life, and into the fire.

This was coming for so long, as these star crossed souls could not be kept apart forever.
Fate could not interfere in these destinies. 
And that one night of complete freedom, held everything that she was.

It would mean the end of everything she knew,
If this fire was left to burn.
A flame that would not die, through the night of all nights.
She had found her life and soul, and to look into her eyes,
Was to glance at the stars of Heaven.

If the night was ever to end, so would she,
As there wasn't enough canvas in her dreams to portray her life and soul.

But the slumber took over, and dream she did.
