I promise you I'll find you
I promise you I'll wait for you
I promise you I will never forget
You

Heather

Earlier
Everything had been fine
She had listened to the chatter of her new boots
Smiling, feeling pretty
Now the night was falling and her good mood was altering
Fear was beginning to take place in her mind

Heather has red eyes
My waking dreams are her reality

I watch you crawl out of me
I watch you writhing next to me
I watch you as you crawl out of the blood I gave for you

Heather
Wicked little witch in red
Heather

Jay knew she was different
There was something about her that separated her from others
Something she couldn't put her finger on
She wasn't like the rest
Jay pressed her fingertips against the cool surface of the mirror and the girl inside smiled to her

Heather
My twin
My shadow
My beloved
Heather

You're close to me late at night
You watch my dreams as I sleep tonight
You drink my fear as I crawl through the daylight hours of our lives

The time to hesitate had passed
She could no longer keep in the truth
It had been locked up for too long
The days of her life had imprisoned it and all the while it screamed inside her
Desperate to break free
But not all of it could be shared, not now, not ever
Some things needed to remain in the darkness
Where they belonged

Heather

I promise you I'll be true to you
I promise you I will wait for you
I promise you I will never forget
You

Heather
My waking dreams are her reality

My twin
My shadow
My love
Heather

She comes to me like a siren
Haunting me
Taunting me
She's there when I look in the mirror
Sneering
Her eyes blazing red
She's there, right out of reach
My twin
My shadow
Heather

I promise
I promise I will become you
