<p>Can you hear me? (<em>Tell me there is hope.</em>)
Tell me.</p><p>I can't catch my breath. Darling, is this a swansong? Is this the sound of the moon crashing? The sound of the sky shattering like glass?</p><p>

<p>I'm still stiching up my wings. My skin is pale, my lips like the nightingale's rose. Eyes flickering. A fever dream.

<p>Darling, the world is burning and I can only think of you.
I'm not a smoker, but I inhale the shadows, and the sky turns a violet hue. <em>Come on now, just tell me.</em> Butterflies flutter, but I look away.
<sub>(<em>Be brave now young girl...</em>)</sub> I try to smile, but the sadness is overwhelming.
Do you care? ([[Yes|yes]] | [[No|no]])</p>

<p>Darling, I would say forever, but we are on borrowed time. And I know nothing lasts; but out of the ashes roses will bloom.

<p>Listen! Just listen... The rain is falling now. Raindrops made of grief.

<p>Darling, your blue eyes are turning grey and you are on the verge of fading into smoke. I loved you once, which is to say I still do.
But -
dreams/tomorrows have already started to crumble down and you are almost a ghost and all I can do is leave this haunted place...</p>
