She said 'wake up your visitor is here'
the adrenaline rushed through me I wanted to run out and see.

'I'm sorry' he said I gasped he begged,
I screamed and shout 'go out!'
he gripped my arm and said 'calm down' I sat with fear, the ringing in my ears, the salty taste of my tears.

'Sorry, I'm so sorry' he chanted but it was far too late, the girl was gone and so was the pain.
