If Only for a Moment
Dear reader,
I wish I could tell you that you're going to survive this,
but sometimes it is best to hold onto ignorance until the very end.
I wish I could tell you that none of this had ever happened,
that your family would live at least a decade longer,
happy and healthy.
But it is with heavy heart that I inform you,
They've all disappeared.
What's left of them is just bones
compared to what they used to be to you.
Little Monty was in the most pain when he died.
He suffered from burns,
bruises and contusions,
a stab wound to the back,
and eventually hurt so bad
that he took his own life.
Brandon disappeared.
No call, no text,
off the grid.
I pray he doesn't hurt.
John broke off his four month relationship
because he was tired.
He was tired of everything inside his head,
and he was tired of you feeling like it was your problem.
Chris ran out of options.
He thought his life was falling apart,
at the ripe old age of 17,
so he started to isolate himself.
And Thomas,
Thomas just didn't want to complicate things for you.
So he took himself out of the equation.
Thomas didn't want to hurt you or himself.
All these people-
your family-
they're dead to you right now.
And I know that because I'm your heart.
They might be dead to you right now,
and some of them may never be coming back,
but maybe one day,
you can forgive them.
If only for a moment.
