&quot;It&#039;s much harder dealing with the living. Give me a ghost to talk to any day.&quot;Roy Mustang<br /> <br /> &ldquo;Kids these days. They think it&rsquo;s a competition to have the most friends. One is enough. Find someone completely unique.&rdquo; Yato Noragami

I look down
Over the edge
And wonder how
I broke my only pledge
My will has bent
My heart is spent
Is this what you meant
Spiteful laughs
And ugly jokes
I fall apart silently
Maybe when you see me
Jump from above
you’ll look down
and wonder how
It ever went so far
Maybe you will walk any,
Or maybe you will jump,
I’m falling though the air
I no longer care
