I'd like to think, that beyond this bristling carpet of reeds and half-hearted, long-forgotten blooms, she'll be waiting.1520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqssa5TzQU
silence1520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTJtQZqkvB
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.1520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20nlo1dIWM
I pray for them. For Isabelle. And for Maddy. I pray for answers.1520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6psoxHw4LM
A hundred days have made me older1520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4LabVV79K
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.1520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BlizjxQ1N
A thousand lies have made me colder1520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuFE1bl5qU
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.1520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAc9kMRGbJ1
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.1520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFd436BAQw

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.1520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxbnKAfdMP
Door opening.1520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9AeLvWn2g

3 Doors Down's Here Without You cuts to silence.1520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbD8RjExBpT
Door closing.1520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWqhTPrmsu
And then Maddy's parents called mine.1520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqAgilaTk5
The memories tear at me from the inside out, trying to escape into a reality that I lost so long ago.1520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWG9nRUQfk
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.1520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuelAuGJagU
The touch of the water makes me gasp - but it's no colder than I've felt for the past year.1520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtC6QCYdwis
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 -1520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLRbTaJt3I
