We knohat you did

I drop the envelope to the ground and juainst the door, and my knees buckle out from under me We knohat you did

Blood on my hands Blood on my hands Someone knohat I did

Tears pour from my eyes as I snatch up the piece of paper and envelope, tear them up, and throw them in the trash bin Then I sprint back to the bathroom, strip my clothes off, hop into the shower, and scrub my skin under hot water When I’m finished, I still feel dirty, buta towel aroundrind to a halt when I hear ?" Evan’s voice floats fro room and causes the hairs on the back oftoo long"

I pull the towel closer todown the hallway toward me, and I squeeze my eyes shut My body stiffens when I feel the heat of him sink into my skin Moments later, his lips brush the back ofhis hipsin with me"

I liftout into the world

What would it be like to have wings?

To have such freedom to fly away

and disappear into the sky

Fly away Fly away high

Fly away and never look back

Soar through the freedom of air

"I told you I’m not ready for that" My voice sounds as empty as my heart Any amount of peace I felt crumbles

Fly away, fly away, fly away

Or allow yourself to slowly die
