I'd like to think, that beyond this bristling carpet of reeds and half-hearted, long-forgotten blooms, she'll be waiting.1326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXe1qLWc3ds
silence1326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdif9N1i37P
I'd like to think, that once the night sky spreads its wings and brings the dancing stars to light, and wretched, sinful Isabelle still hasn't returned home - I'd like to think that perhaps her parents might regret the words they said, might regret the palms of their hands stinging red against my face.1326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBjrsNUQYM
I pray for them. For Isabelle. And for Maddy. I pray for answers.1326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoniuGBHFXm
A hundred days have made me older1326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8de6uycQn7
They told me that God loves us all, and will always be with us; but now, tears streaming onto my clasped hands and down into the river, silence is the only response.1326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kPVJd7yks
A thousand lies have made me colder1326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNWS9Pflu2
They never met her. Never met Maddy. They heard her name, spoke to her parents, but they never met her, and I hate them for that, more than I hate them for the scars on my cheeks.1326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSMPSE8HKT
They just heard about her. And when they did, they forgot about Isabelle, that poor girl became me; the one they couldn't love. Their daughter was killed by a phone call.1326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ624JmCi0D7

We were lying about why I was there, and we were lying side by side - lying side by side, earphones in to maintain the charade of studying - I could've lived in that moment forever. Just holding her hand in mine, knowing she was right beside me, seeing what I was seeing, hearing what I was hearing, feeling what I was feeling.1326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CMDLR0k3L
Door opening.1326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7eG9XfmpA

3 Doors Down's Here Without You cuts to silence.1326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIjtYV3lOh
Door closing.1326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MUqEYbenl
And then Maddy's parents called mine.1326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHCwkV0eic
The memories tear at me from the inside out, trying to escape into a reality that I lost so long ago.1326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3VZHiudz7
I lay my head down in the river, floating hair making a red halo on the surface of the water, newly sprouted reeds grasping desperately at my scalp.1326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB753AHLHS6
The touch of the water makes me gasp - but it's no colder than I've felt for the past year.1326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcDwUsGVh6
I slowly push off the bank with my feet, and as my ears submerge, I can hear her singing the song, the song we both loved so much -1326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5NG2JAzTU
