I'd like to think, that beyond this bristling carpet of reeds and half-hearted, long-forgotten blooms, she'll be waiting.1384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYUVQK8J8j
silence1384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8d6vkXFBDb
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.1384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3epAhjj8MN
I pray for them. For Isabelle. And for Maddy. I pray for answers.1384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndmvsFL7RU
A hundred days have made me older1384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaAcoTGii9
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.1384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZKgkLtygG
A thousand lies have made me colder1384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY63QnNHr8R
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.1384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AluU97G8w
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.1384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXwZElUWOs
silence1384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUmX51Nrj5
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.1384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIimkJUNIq
Door opening.1384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJgMrtmGQD

And then Maddy's parents called mine.1384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQh27Chu2m
The memories tear at me from the inside out, trying to escape into a reality that I lost so long ago.1384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFelYuDKNz
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.1384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztY4ByOvH4
The touch of the water makes me gasp - but it's no colder than I've felt for the past year.1384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhubSHDZ20
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 -1384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3Zu74KC3z
