Turned

By Aethelwyne

When all you’ve ever known is wrong
And everyone you’ve ever loved is gone
What else can you do but just to move along
And hope that you can carry on

When everything you could once see
Has been clouded by a memory
What can you do but cut and bleed
And slip through time in misery

When death has become a welcome friend
What can you do but greet the end

    I really like this work, though. It is short, simple, focused, and fabulous.

    Sarah, I am here for you no matter what, and you will never lose me. You can tell me what's going on and I'm not going to turn on you. Not ever. Best friends forever. Yes. Forever.

    You COULD prove your inner strength and iron will to those who tried to break you and keep on keepin' on in spite of everything. I would highly recommend this route, and I'm here to help you if ever you need me.
