Look at me child, Don’t lower your head like that, you’re breaking me! It’s ok, let me see it all again.


They’re leaving you behind aren’t they? They didn’t even bother to prepare you for it. I think they were afraid to “hurt your feelings”, that’s why it always happened suddenly without any hints…

Your smile is fading slowly, you don’t seem to understand, I can’t blame you, it’s always so shocking. You can’t stop crying, your throat is so dry, you’re looking up but you can’t see God, maybe your tears are in the way. Yet, you’re praying anyway, in a low chocking voice, you’re telling him you can’t bear that!

You’ve washed your face so many times until now, telling yourself that you’ll stop crying. Yet, here you are, making your face wet and salty again! You’re done, you’re burying your head in your wet pillow.

You are already awake again, you seem like you can’t make sense of the fact that you were sleeping. You are now inside a circle, formed by the backs of familiar people. The circle is widening, where are they going?! Whom are you supposed to follow?! You know all of those people they all look familiar! You’re trying to think it over…

It’s a circle! They’re going in different directions! You want to call them back, it’s so frightening, the way the circle keeps getting bigger and bigger!

You’re opening your mouth, you’re about to scream, suddenly some dirty hands are rising from beneath the ground to shut you up! Your eyes are wide open, you’re seeing some figures slipping from the openings of the widening circle, figures that look like you, they’re asking you whether you’re lost! The dirty hands that were blocking your mouth are now giving you some space to answer. You’re hiding your trembling voice and your suspicion with a fake smile, you’re telling them that you are lost…

They’re now looking at each other and exchanging filthy smiles! They’re looking back at you, they’re assuring you that they’re going to get you back home, but the next thing you know is that you are being dragged in different directions, with your flesh being torn into pieces and your bones being shattered…

Oh you’re a piece of art now. They’re appreciating, viewing you with lusty eyes, waiting for the right moment to get near and touch you.
Enough for now. Let us get back to silence…
