You know I can't do this on my own.
Don't let me drown.
I can't take one more moment of this silence.
The loneliness is haunting me.
It comes in waves and I close my eyes. I hold my breath and let it bury me but i'm not okay.
What doesn't destroy you, leaves you broken instead.
What doesn't kill you, makes you want to die.
I just want to protect her, he wants to protect me, and she can't protect herself. So who will protect him?
He's as good as dead already so it doesn't matter.
I am faced with some options:
One; take my sister and leave again, try to survive for as long as we can.
Two; stay and protect everyone but risk everything.
Three; take myself and my sister, eliminate the leverage.
But I think i'll take my own path this time...
