There's a strange satisfaction with finishing a book.
Line lives are over, although breaths they never took.
And with that satisfaction is a even weirder sorrow,
As every desire to finish the pages, within the last few... go.
Like the hollow unwillingness to give up a friend...
Or to put them on a shelf and declare it "The End"
But it has to be done, the story has to finish...
At least we'll have the memories, they'll never diminish.

Just a some what "odd" girl, living in what feels like a glass box. Hello Opuss, the savour of my sanity. my little private world amongst a life of being watched and watching.

Stale yellow pages adorned with black ink. Smelling like thick choking dust, With a fiction in which can sink. Completely silent in this room.
A little of what you like does you good... Or at least they say that it stood. But what if what like, isn't good at all. What are you then really. I suppose you're just a fool.
I wish wishes. Didn't exist. I wish the world. Was woven with bliss. I wish that life. Never took nasty twists. And that prayers. We're not needed. And that pain. Was a myth. I have a dream.
Also, I'm new to opuss and was wondering if anyone could follow me and read my first post? Thanks xx
