I'd like to think, that beyond this bristling carpet of reeds and half-hearted, long-forgotten blooms, she'll be waiting.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4Ph5e3DAw

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.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0PK9PleE3
I pray for them. For Isabelle. And for Maddy. I pray for answers.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDcLVR6dff

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.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCeIxIZHxE
A thousand lies have made me colder608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxpo1cKKB8
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.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2826hhXzRz
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.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFZJXTaxnv

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.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01tkXf0UkW

3 Doors Down's Here Without You cuts to silence.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUp8rkWBBgd
Door closing.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDBtxzjgJE
And then Maddy's parents called mine.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNpEuNUJZd
The memories tear at me from the inside out, trying to escape into a reality that I lost so long ago.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oBCS2LRiH
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.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrn2QY0SIbX
The touch of the water makes me gasp - but it's no colder than I've felt for the past year.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaNS91BTE0
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 -
A hundred days have made me older608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrcZoLBXe7
Since the last time that I saw your pretty face608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pYn2LvRYi
A thousand lies have made me colder608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqciHMcsR2
And I don't think I can look at this the same
I can hear her singing, I can hear her, and I'm coming Maddy I'm coming -
You're still with me in my dreams608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKubYZ5NkRp
And tonight, girl, it's only you and me

I'd like to think, that beyond this bristling carpet of reeds and half-hearted, long-forgotten blooms, she'll be waiting.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIqI18GcqJ
She'll be waiting for me.
