Eliza's loneliness was an event horizon.
It would draw her in and crush her,
If no one reached out and put her back. So Peter did by degrees.
He anchored her with his words and his touch.
It was a long process with no obvious success.
There were entire weeks that went by without anything changing.
Eliza went on her routine in silence, barely responding when someone spoke to her.
She got a hunted look that made Peter's stomach churn.
He coaxed her back with promises of mulled wine, sitting in front of the fire,
Or with new songs or books or trips to the museum.
She went outside more, she talked more, she actually slept.
He stopped worrying so much about losing her to the crush,
And started worrying about what she left behind when she came back.

Aboard our ship
,down to the sea
We'll always be safe
, God set us free
We seize upon the enemy
, we win the fight
We're supposed to win
because we have this right
The sea was calm
And the night was hot
We were staying under deck
When the first boat shot
No suprise to us
That it hit us not
We were drinking under deck
When the second boat shot
The third boat loaded weapons
Before its cannon shot
We were dancing under deck
When the fourth boat shot
We never will be hit
Led by the hand of god
We were sleeping under deck
When the next one shot
The wind blew hard
And the sea was rough
We were laughing under deck
When the last one shot

Within your palace
That is made of glass
You look at the world
Inside your trap
No one dares to disturb
Your inner soul
Your eyes stay lifeless
As someone enters
You are the hunted.
