Your staring in the eyes of a failed loved one, who happens to never look away. Your eyes are glistening in the light of what it seems to be, an angels crown. You see it all happen before your eyes. Your running, you trip. Silence is nothing short of what you hear, except the constant echo of screaming. The screams belong to the shattered life who you have failed to catch.

They took my shell, danced over it
then threw me,
