I walked down the small aisle in the cold forest. It was a cold day for this, but I let my black dress expose my bare shoulders. I looked out my veil toward the coffin now in front of my eyes.
All eyes were on me, and I realized this the same moment I had too many tears to control, but I didn't mind.
I was practically screaming for Anton's warm arms, screaming for his love.
He is gone. And I blame myself. But I must stay strong for him. I must stay strong for Anton.
Living life without him for sure will be hard and painful, I can just feel and know it.
I sat down in my seat in front, next to a familiar girl.
I knew i knew her but her hair was now a bright orange, it couldn't be... Haley?
"Hey" her small, sad voice cracked sadly.
"Hi" I replied after a deep breath.
Next down was Porter, next to her, then Sonny and some others that were good friends of Anton.
I was called up to say my words and I slowly walked up to the front sadly.
"I met Anton a few years back. We were the same person basically. He knew what I liked, an I knew what he liked. When I just got re-united with him after around a year I was happy once more. Anton was and will be one of the best things in my life. I loved, and always will love him with all my heart." I spoke softly.
"And, Louisa, we understand you wrote a song to sing for us today?"
"Yes, I did"
Te truth was they made me write a song. I didn't want to, but I was forced. So I did.
"You may begin" he nodded.
When the monsters are sleeping,
Under your bed.
They've crawled out from under
And into your head.
And outside the cold
Gets into your skin,
And you need someone
To keep the light.
Instead your wishes
Into the well.
So someone listens
Someone is there.
An you won't know anything about it,
Until you have to live without it.
Chasing the fire for you
Light in the nightmare
Watching from high above you.
If you can make it then the sun will rise,
It doesn't matter if you close your eyes
Before you wake up.
I'll keep you safe tonight,
'Cause I am a warrior
And I'll fight I'll fight I'll fight.
I could see Haley, I couldn't stop watching her. I knew in the back of my head that there was a picture, a picture on the ground in Anton's pool of blood I cleaned. That picture was her, clear as day.
If you wake up in darkness
Before the storm breaks
There is a strip inside us
Magic in mistakes.
Chasing the fire for you
Light in the nightmare
Watching from high above you.
I call that song Warrior because Anton was my warrior and now I am his.
