• Tonight is the night it will end.

    Everything will end…the laughter, the love, the music.

    Because tonight is my last chance to be who I truly am; and I am nobody.

    Empty. Even with you by my side, I am empty. This ‘love’ cannot fill me.

    This music falls on deaf ears. I cannot hear the meaning; I cannot dance to what I cannot hear.

    Finally

    Close

    My

    Eyes…

    And welcome my ever-lasting night.
