She stared at the blackberry skyline with a hint of lust in her eyes, pupils as large as the lie she told her parents to get them to let her out of the confinery of their house.
....it seems that the easier it get to fake something, the harder it becomes to find the truth again....
This girl is tossed between two completely different worlds: the life her parents choose for her and the life of running around aimlessly at night, her spare time filled in by the sinking of fingernails into upturned palms, pleading to the answer to the question 'why?'
....the ones you care the most about are the ones most likely to hurt you....
she's got a mind full of hopes and a heart of chipped china and smeared burgundy, but fortunately she's tied together wit rainbow threads of useless apologies.
one day, she fell asleep in the desert and never woke up.
she decided to weave the web of deceit too thick, ending up trapping herself, dooming herself to spend the rest of her life suffocating in her land of make-believe, until she forgets everything, including exactly how to breathe.
