Literature Text

The prince saves the princess
The hero saves the queen
The knight saves his love
These stories surround everything

The moon and the sun
Star crossed lovers
The villain falls
And no one but him suffers

And yet here I stand
The girl you couldn't save
Torn with grief
Love's one and only slave

There was no fight
There was no war
Only silence and suffering
What was I living for?

And the worst of all
Far worse than your inability to save me
Is that even after all of this
I will never stay in your memory

No,
After all of this,
I will never be a memory...
When someone dies, they leave behind a legacy. But what of those that die silently? What is to become of them? What is the purpose of their life? What happens when they are abandoned, rather than helped? What happens when they fall into the deep abyss that we call the line between life and death? What happens when they don't even become a memory?
