  Dear my closest friend, I went through it all, when you died, my walls started to fall. I missed you so much, & when I cried, I craved your touch. The cuts I made, I carved letters, they spelled out your name. We were so young, no one understands all the amazing thing...

  One hundred years later, still the same person he was before. A dying beauty, washed up on the shore. Gun to the head, razors to the wrist, the only image he had seen, was his drunken father's clenched fists. A fallen angel, with broken wings, doesn'...
