my blood-shot eyes send salty waves rushing down my newly-reddened cheeks. they are enough to fill my entire body with something other than emptiness. but somehow, this is much worse; a feeling of never-ending dread and ravishing sorrow. the flowers you have planted in the emptiest parts of me are now wilting, each individual petal falling endlessly to the ground, only to burn and turn into ash once again.
