How many hearts linger in the waiting room of dreams unfulfilled—are we driven by patience, bound by consistency, or lost in despair?"
She waited so long that waiting itself grew bored and moved on.

Some people find peace in the sound of screams."
-
And I cried and cried..."
-
That’s how some people quench their thirst."
-
I’m fading into the dark..."
-
That’s the spotlight where some people shine brightest."
-
What should I do?"
-
Smile and let him choke, laugh until he goes deaf, cheer up and let him dry out, shine and let him dissolve, live and let him die!
