Thinking about it, I don't actually know what this is...
To M

Long ago I had a vision
A vision of war and hope
and in that vision stood three figures

(The girl who never died
The man who kills to survive
The angel who was revived)

All the same person
They move like the flow of time
One action shifting gracefully into the next

(The girl runs
The man grabs
The angel jumps and flies)

With no one to turn to but themselves
They learn to run alone
Never loving anyone
But losing everyone

(Her hair wild
His heart beating fast
Their mind filled with guilt)

I know them

How meek they seemed when I first saw them
Cowering from view and hiding their eyes from the horrors they've witnessed

The vision
The figures converging into one
To form them

Face blank as they move
Her energy moving them to strike
His hands holding the blade
Their skills to win

I know them

An angel of purity coming to learn
An angel of war coming to defend
An angel of sleep coming to soothe

She was a witch
He was a warrior
They were my sibling

I know them

How new this will be
An omen of times to come
a hard burden to bear for someone so young

She will surpass this challenge and bring on better times

When hope survives and peace stays for eternity
I hope we survive to see it

Keep this in mind
I know how dark it is in your heart right now
You need to keep your head up

I know them
You know them
You loved them
I loved them

Stay Strong
