Macon Ethan<br />I lay my head down on his chest and cried because had lived<br />because he had died<br />a dry ocean, a desert of emotion<br />happysad darklight sorrowjoy swept over me, under me<br />i could hear the sound but i could not understand the words <br />and then i realized the sound was me, breaking<br />in one moment i was feeling everything and i was feeling nothing<br />i was shattered, i was saved, i lost everthing, i was given everything else<br />something in me died, something in me was born, i only knew<br />the girl was gone<br />whoever i was now, i would never be her again this is the way<br />the world ends not with a bang but a whimper<br />claim yourself claim yourself claim yourself claim<br />gratitude fury love despair hope hate<br />first green is gold but nothing green can stay<br />dont<br />try<br />nothing<br />green<br />can<br />stay<br /><br />-Lena Duchannes
