of which i'm ashamed
for what it's worth...
we started with the things that didn't matter
and moved on
until our words ran dry
and our hopes all fell to the ground, bleeding

Sometimes you just need the haven of being forgotten. It doesn't seem to make much of a difference, but I've found that, while the Day of Silence started off as rather a challenge, it's become almost soothing in a way.
