I'd like to think, that beyond this bristling carpet of reeds and half-hearted, long-forgotten blooms, she'll be waiting.1377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSHDor8MTl
silence1377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1P7iAaNEN
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.1377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrULsssKfx
I pray for them. For Isabelle. And for Maddy. I pray for answers.1377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3eIMBtvuA
A hundred days have made me older1377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhKsUNBFJl
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.1377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNDCbYNApH
A thousand lies have made me colder1377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AuR07cgg9
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.1377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2sKtb0K3T
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.1377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdAFRVpaDp
silence1377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlIYXkKIG7
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.1377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpmrLQdQx2
Door opening.1377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFk4ehbMd0X
Earphones falling.1377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzOnY7K0YP
3 Doors Down's Here Without You cuts to silence.1377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNlKtLv2zz
Door closing.1377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IT6TqPR4X
And then Maddy's parents called mine.1377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4uoxzYInl
The memories tear at me from the inside out, trying to escape into a reality that I lost so long ago.1377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdCZHbxgFn
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.1377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsCYSvQYxJ
The touch of the water makes me gasp - but it's no colder than I've felt for the past year.1377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvoYPTFErJ
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 -1377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrggKtrZmT

And I don't think I can look at this the same1377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMVG8TvzBq
I can hear her singing, I can hear her, and I'm coming Maddy I'm coming -1377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iLfLq0w4h
You're still with me in my dreams1377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3GaGQhbj2
