Favorite Quote:
When you're in a night that seems almost devoid of stars and you look but can't find someone to help you see. Look for that lonely star and let it guide you until you find the light. (anonymous)

Silence,
Nothingness for miles around.
Darkness,
Preventing every sound.

The world stopped spinning,
and all the wars weren't worth winning.
As everything comes crashing down,
I wander aimlessly about this town.

My wish,
That everyone would just go away,
It's come true on this empty day,
and now there is nothing left to say.
The silence is here to stay.
