I'd like to think, that beyond this bristling carpet of reeds and half-hearted, long-forgotten blooms, she'll be waiting.1395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSiAhx3DH8
silence1395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxRHGzKsfm
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.1395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDA1egeresj
I pray for them. For Isabelle. And for Maddy. I pray for answers.1395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7cEifIasQ
A hundred days have made me older1395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVSgbxbETN
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.1395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa15jHhQ4Jz
A thousand lies have made me colder1395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6EKnlVxZ5
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.1395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6JyXqFn06
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.1395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwVNICcri6

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.1395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡln5yjcF2KI
Door opening.1395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwXxbJPBZG

3 Doors Down's Here Without You cuts to silence.1395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT51SZySbCV
Door closing.1395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfL7l1cALRL
And then Maddy's parents called mine.1395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvau30CFlSG
The memories tear at me from the inside out, trying to escape into a reality that I lost so long ago.1395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMw6vQRS8M
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.1395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9735Gs5Er7
The touch of the water makes me gasp - but it's no colder than I've felt for the past year.1395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU77BeRBj0U
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 -1395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxy4G9962hC

You're still with me in my dreams1395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qFIPb1S5o
