and if I felt them shifting, if I thought that you were listening...if I saw you, I didn't say.

Come to me now
Lay your hands over me
Even if it’s a lie, say it will be alright
And I shall believe

The apartment was as dark as ever, but still, it offered a brief respite from the chaotic world oustide. And it was warm. Candles now graced almost every surface in the flat, lighting what they could with a soft, yellow glow. It flickered over the floor, onto the rug, and then the feet of the three figures spread across the couch. A graceful female watched them from across the room with a calm smile – odd, as her unseeing eyes seemed to know exactly where they were. Her work was done. The tall woman softly made her way from the kitchen to the door, passing through and shutting it with a dull click.

As quiet as it was, the sound was enough to rouse the woman on the right side from her daze. Dark green eyes flickered open, and she surpressed a yawn just barely before looking to her side. The dark-haired man on the other side was fast alseep, tucked neatly beside his brother, who was snoring lightly as well. The girl’s eyes roved over them for a moment, her lips parted in a confusing expression. Maybe even blank. In the silence that passed, her deep voice snuck around the room, reaffirming something her mind had only recently formulated.

“Without each other we’d be…alone. Right?”

Getting what seemed like a positive response from the room, she laid her head back down. Pretty face once more turned to sleep with the others. Just ordinary people, recovering from something that had been there for far too long.

I’m broken in two
And I know you're on to me
That I only come home
When I'm so all alone
But I do believe
