the world did not shatter—1234 copyright protection181ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1l9nyCYRw 尼

it simply folded inwards,1234 copyright protection181ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9chhoNHLv 尼

where your laughter once lived,1234 copyright protection181ＰＥＮＡＮＡRt5QNakjgm 尼

and the walls stared back at me1234 copyright protection181ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xIF3jr46e 尼

with blank, merciless silence.1234 copyright protection181ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHuoIzpsH7 尼

I wished for numbness,1234 copyright protection181ＰＥＮＡＮＡgX6Jm0p0V9 尼

prayed for the mercy of emptiness.1234 copyright protection181ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxJGJZ5sKJ 尼

But grief is cruel—1234 copyright protection181ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2p0xcZFpoq 尼

it doesn’t burn,1234 copyright protection181ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kjdDIsJpS 尼

it lingers like frost,1234 copyright protection181ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyRTaNQLIG 尼

slowly devouring every corner of your skin1234 copyright protection181ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzQzopPF40 尼

until even breathing feels borrowed.1234 copyright protection181ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7SUdVganT 尼

shut off the heart,1234 copyright protection181ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFhBTmkYi4 尼
