I used to think that the bond of love was much stronger than an iron cage, much more lasting. But on this stage called life, I came to understand that keeping people close has never been within anyone’s power. You can place your entire world at their feet, lose your very self in search of their happiness, and still you will never find even a tiny, permanent place in their heart. People only understand the outer noise; they have no time to understand the silent, desperate cries within. For someone who has no one, these sleepless nights are their only true companion. After losing everything, today I have come to stand in a kind of emptiness where there is nothing left to lose, only an endless sigh and the gifts of the wrong people🥀
