5:55 AM - 6:15 AM.

I.
The moon dips below the horizon
Returns to a quiet, familiar bed
Ignorance, the lonesome ocean
Violet clouds surround her head

II.
She dreams of a violin concerto
All strings, a sweet symphony
I dream of an apple, an arrow
And she's William Tell, sharp
Pointed blade lacking sympathy

III.
It was 6:15 AM
When my little
Lynn decided to
Take her own life
Felt familiarity in
The cold, unforgiving
Blade of the knife
