Grief Quote by Tracy Emin

“I was moving and breathing but everything else had become so slow. I felt that I was trapped inside a still landscape, one of those nightmares where you scream but no one hears … And while you’re engulfed by loneliness, the rest of the world carries on.” quote by Tracy Emin
