"welcome home" she said to me

"let's hide away before they see. i need

so much to be alone with you, i do"

"come with me" she took my hand

"please try to help me understand"

so pointless when my heart has

turned to stone, i know

"i wish we could" she whispered near

"go someplace far away from here."

while hoping that small voice would

disappear that said "welcome to the

end"
