Quote The Raven.

Have you ever been afraid of a bird? He asked.

I think death is coming for me. She whispered.

Death comes to all those who are mortal. He reasoned.

What is left to live for when purpose is no longer? She wondered.

Is life not enough to live for? He questioned.

Not when dreams turn to nightmares and reality is the mask you run too. She stated.

What about love? And laughter? And music of the heart? He countered.

Love? She echoed. Love is a lie. And laughter brings with it only pain. My heart beats broken a waltz in time.

Is all the world wrapped in rhyme? He hummed.

Life is just a flirtatious dance with death. Sooner or later we all succumb to the seductive rhythm. She mused.

Is there no hope left? He lamented.

Hope is for the willing and my hope is wanning like the moon. She sighed.

There shall be many tears. He concluded.

Tears dry up and empty spaces fill. She responded.

Time will heal your sorrows. He begged.

My time is all but gone! She shouted.

The birds have come. He feared.

My soul is released to ride the wind. She scattered.

And I am left with nothing. He cried.
