Little sister, I know you’re there.
You reach out to me only to jerk away at my touch.
Through the dark tangles of midnight,
I see your pale skin bleed saltwater

The moonlight captures my translucent form
And I delve into your sleeping mind
To try for a connection

Your illusion speaks
Through the darkness in whispers
Of an enchanting void
That you need to forget about to survive

Coils of deception sever all ties

I wish you could really see me, little sister
I wish you could really handle what I’ve become
But, instead, I satisfy by watching you dream
And then watching as it fades
And then watching you wake in a breathy gasp

They tell you I was never real
How terribly wrong they are

You’re the only one
That refuses to refute the truth
And therefore
The only one I can depend on
Despite that you think you’re going mad
