loud silence
To Gatsby, it is the green light shining across his bay that he could never seem to reach, To the earth, it is the sky that she could only touch as the horizon spreads out, To the moon, it is the sun that he continues to chase since the beginning of time, only to find her shinning for just a couple of seconds. To me, you.

Thunderclap!
as the blade runs through the flesh, blood starts gushing out she cried, she screamed, p a i n f u l l y repeating it all over again with a sense of hesitation a miasma of burning cigarettes and stale alcohol hung in the background with bits of despair and tears —— why can't she do it? why can't she end her life? why can't she save herself?
