Forever changed


"Train entering the city
I lost myself and never came back
Took a trip around the world and never came back
Black silhouettes, crisscrossed tracks, never came back

Forever changed
Forever changed"
-lou reed


When I stepped into the chapel in the Palais des Papes in Avignon I felt a drop in pressure like the air suddenly left the room and all that was left existed inside my lungs, exhaling slowly. The room was dark and in the dark I think I saw a small flame spark and fade. The sound of shuffling feet echoed off the cathedral ceiling and in that sound something in me escaped. I think I lost a part of me there, or maybe a part of me just decided to stay.
