And art.
That its the birth giver of great Literature
And music.

This time

I wish to be in company
A genuine smile

But I am lonely.

it takes courage to live

But it's okay if you could not gather it.

when someone dies
it's the words that stay behind
sound of their voice echoes
in the void no one can fill.

it's true
the dead don't die.

he went crawling up to stories -
sucking them out of people
leaving behind carrion and bones

People became books.

their bodies rotted under the ground.
but true stories were never found.
