Death as a mercy?

A calming voice I heard as a child 

''A gentle question... ''

I never answered 

My sister never heard 

Ears full of blood like hers couldn't hear 

But she was the one who escaped 

I fell asleep instead 

''This strange song clouded my head. ''

I never woke up again, but I wasn't lonely 

Death as a mercy?

I asked my sister 

A gentle question, in a calming voice 

My sister never heard 

''She thought she could save me. ''

I did too.
