The Lonely

Description

2am; where do I begin,
Crying off my face again.
The silent sound of loneliness
Wants to follow me to bed.

I'm a ghost of a girl that I want to be most.
I'm the shell of a girl that I used to know well.

Dancing slowly in an empty room,
Can the lonely take the place of you?
I sing myself a quiet lullaby.
Let you go and let the lonely in
To take my heart again.
"The Lonely" ~Christina Perri

A double piece, based on the story between :iconthe-snowlion: and myself.

And with the recent passing of the 10th anniversary of 9/11, I also want to dedicate this piece to the brave men and women who have served and are currently serving in the military. Thank you for your immense sacrifice. And to those who have lost sons, daughters, husbands, wives, brother, sisters, cousins and friends to the monsters we call 'war'. May their lives never be forgotten, nor dishonoured. And may their memories rest safely in our hearts.

Being comforted by the ghost of her soldier husband, as she goes to bed with the reminder of his sacrifice. That's how I interpret this picture. Very creative and very dramatic way to portray the personal, human cost of a war.
