LETTERS FADED

((( the narrator )))

The sun went down
And the wind blew cold
When the forest trees
Watched a life unfold
The girl walked through
The broken basement door
And she ventured out
Along the forest floor

Until she came to find
A stone of sad remind
But not the sharp stone blade
A grave with letters faded

And it said her name
And her living years
And the word Goodbye
Alone was brought to tears
But then a piercing light
Came down from above
And it struck the girl
Again she fell in love

With what she long hadn’t known
Since the small jagged stone
But now the girl was alive
A self-proclaiming survivor

And she went to town
Wth a beating heart
And the boy returned
'Cause his was torn apart
And she soon forgot
About her feelings for
The boy from outer space

The broken basement door
An exit left before
But could the girl be gone?
Strange footsteps on the lawn

The girl is happy now
With her newfound health
And she loves to feel
The pulse within herself
Her blood can bleed like his
But his will bleed instead
'Cause she survived her death
But his is up ahead

Unless he reconciles
Over countless miles
Should have come back before
She left the basement door
She left the basement-
