Like a whisper in the night
No one hears her screams
All alone she fights
Everyone's asleep
Like a candle in the day
No one sees his plight
Running from his demons
Trapped inside his mind
In the night
Her mind takes a dark turn
Too many memories
Etched in her brain
Seeing the ugly paintings of her past
In the night
His mind is as bright as day
He cannot fall asleep
Too many traumatic thoughts
Running like time
She almost stopped screaming
He almost stopped running
Until she met him
Until he met her
In the night
He holds her tight
In the night
She sobs into his chest
The moon shines with the sun
The sun's beauty is seen in the moon
She is the moon
He is the sun
She sees him
He hears her
Her screams are no longer a whisper in the night
His plight is no longer a candle in the day
