You were the one
Who understood me
Really
And now that you're gone
Life lost its meaning
For me
We made so many memories together...
Remember?
So many that life now feels empty...
There is no time when I don't think about
The things that ruined everything around.
And it just hurts
Dreaming of the impossible,
Imagining what we could've been
But didn't
Because we were too selfish
To accept and take the chance
That was given to us.
Now we're complete strangers
Divided by miles.
Sometimes I wonder
If I'd ever see you again
I surely know the answer.
Yet I hope silently,
I think it's better...

The daughter of silence
It all started when Echo was five. She kept having these nightmares where she would just fall into a dark pit, screaming insanely loud, yet no one, not even her own parents would hear her. It was terrifying. But the most horrible part was that when she'd wake up panting, her parents were nowhere to be found, just like in her dream. She'd always cry herself to sleep alone and helpless.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
