To my husband - I wholeheartedly apologize
for my childish actions. I regret the pains I have
caused you. I promise to never hurt you again,
in this lifetime or the next. I will love you eternally.
? ~ Marie

Suffocating in this city of lies,
I dance to the puppeteer’s whims.
This encounter that was doomed from the start,
Brought only bittersweet pain and tears.

I present you this song of decadence,
As we continued down the path to ruin.
This illusion of tranquility was surely crumbling,
Closing our eyes as the world went up in flames.
