(the abyss inside us - lullaby)
"if the sun were to explode,
you wouldn't even know about it
for eight minutes
and nothing in the world
gives me a heavier heart
than knowing i wouldn't be able to reach you
before the world went dark."

I slowly got up from the stretcher I was lying on, brought my hands closer to my face, and moved my fingers. I was alive, I was completely alive. There was still hope.
