"But if the story's over, why am I still writing pages?" - Taylor Swift


Dry are these ashes, 

these ashes of the roses you gave me. 

Days between us now, 

your sun rising on the front lines. 

I must betray you out of love,

crazy is this love you left in me.

Fury born of distance,

bloody is this battle I face 

without you.
