The Silence Of A Nocturnal Serenade
13 parts Ongoing Memories were nothing more than lost pieces of tattered sorrow, a hazy past chipped away until little more was recognized...other than him.
It stung more than his sweet words, thinly veiled promises of safety from everything ̶b̶u̶t̶ ̶h̶i̶m̶s̶e̶l̶f̶.
Seven hundred and thirty-seven days spent locked under his eye, trapped in his embrace at the end of every sunset. Those cabin walls kept many secrets - painted many unseen horrors and captured heart wrenching screams of heartbreak.
Her past was a ghost, an ache burned into her soul more-so than the scars marred into her skin and the countless tears shed.
Determination was a weak ember...but it was there. It was a flame waiting to spark upon wings of freedom - a family long forgotten and longed for.
The world can be cruel - mockery the knife glistening against open wounds yearning for escape.

"You're the air I breathe, Maeri." His voice would whisper like a cruel angel. "You're the light that fills my eyes after rain- you're the savior to my lost soul- a guiding light only you can provide..."
A kiss always haunted my lips, his presence attached like my own shadow. "the touch I yearn to feel each and every time I wake. The voice I long to hear sending me to sleep. I love you more than words can express, more than art can entail."
̶I̶ ̶f̶e̶l̶t̶ ̶m̶y̶s̶e̶l̶f̶ ̶c̶r̶u̶m̶b̶l̶e̶.̶.̶.̶
I found myself searching for fragments of solace-a favorite melody, a comforting scent.
Who was I?
Who was little, lonely Maeri?
Who was...little. Lonely. Me...?
