Silence's echo

Tomorrow’s day, it suddenly

Melted away along with her dreams

She just wanted to go home

Though, she has none.

In the middle of a giddy bridge

She heard the birds on the silence’s echo

And looked around to find her love

She had none.

While the city lights sheltered her skin

The rain messed up her hair.

She burned her pale wrist with her daddy’s

Lighter. She didn’t care.
