les mains de la douleur ne réclament plus leur lumière ; dans le noir qu’elles auscultent comme un corps impossible, elles ont déjà commencé à sculpter ce qui peut nous faire croire à une présence oubliée, à une présence déjà partie ; la lamentation est une souffrance qui gesticule déjà dans l’éternité ; là est sa victoire ; l’éternité qui n’interpelle jamais, qui n’est que gestes muets, miettes invisibles jetées au visage de l’impassible

𝙻𝚊𝚖𝚎𝚗𝚝 𝚏𝚘𝚛 𝙻𝚒𝚊𝚖

14, with hopes and dreams, 16, when your journey began— To become one of the most beloved souls in the world.

16, and you were unstoppable. 16, and you made it, Alongside four other lads who shared the same dream, The same vision—to make it big.

You had the X-Factor. You were forever young.

Up All Night—where it all began. "More Than This," "Moments," "Save You Tonight"— Songs etched in every heart. Loved and adored, You were their leader, Daddy Direction, The anchor in their storm.

Take Me Home—and you did, With Harry, Niall, Louis, and Zayn. "They Don’t Know About Us," "Rock Me," "Little Things," "Over Again," "Still the One."

But little did 16-year-old me know, On the verge of destroying my life with alcohol— You saved me. You, and all the others, Became my lifeline, A reason to hold on. Because what is One Direction without Payno?

Life turned 180, and I found freedom. Not parasocial—this was personal.

Midnight Memories became ours, With "Little White Lies"—your words that carried me. "Strong," "Through the Dark," "Happily," Your face filled my room as I grew up. But in my heart, you stayed the same.

Then came Four, A foreshadowing of what was to come. "Fireproof"—my all-time favorite. "No Control," "Girl Almighty," "Act My Age."

But the noise grew quiet. Adulthood crept in, And I missed out on Made in the A.M. "Drag Me Down," "Hey Angel," "Long Way Down"— It truly was a long way down. You were kings of the world, And then the silence of hiatus.

You ventured into solo artistry, And you shone in your own right. You deserved every ounce of success, Every moment of joy. You saved my life, after all.

But as the years passed, cracks appeared. The industry failed you, Your cries for help twisted into villainy. No one saw your tears when they mattered most.

And on October 16, 2024, You fell to your demise. A fallen angel, Failed by the machine that once built you. The world that once adored you Now wears its shame.

You were a hero, A boy who, at 16, just wanted to make it— And you did.

Now it’s been months since you left us. Yet the void remains. You are no longer here, But an angel looking down, Watching over us all.

You swore you’d bring the band back together, And you did—but not like this. This isn’t the reunion we dreamed of, The one we all wanted.

We wanted a stage, a celebration. Not a eulogy.

Oh, Liam, how the world failed you. But you will never be forgotten. Forever, you are our fireproof angel.

A Lament and Call to Repentance

1 Hear this word, Israel, this lament I take up concerning you:

2 “Fallen is Virgin Israel, never to rise again, deserted in her own land, with no one to lift her up.”

3 This is what the Sovereign Lord says to Israel:

“Your city that marches out a thousand strong will have only a hundred left; your town that marches out a hundred strong will have only ten left.”

4 This is what the Lord says to Israel:

“Seek me and live;

5 do not seek Bethel, do not go to Gilgal, do not journey to Beersheba. For Gilgal will surely go into exile, and Bethel will be reduced to nothing.” 6 Seek the Lord and live, or he will sweep through the tribes of Joseph like a fire; it will devour them, and Bethel will have no one to quench it.

7 There are those who turn justice into bitterness and cast righteousness to the ground.

8 He who made the Pleiades and Orion, who turns midnight into dawn and darkens day into night, who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out over the face of the land— the Lord is his name. 9 With a blinding flash he destroys the stronghold and brings the fortified city to ruin.

10 There are those who hate the one who upholds justice in court and detest the one who tells the truth.

11 You levy a straw tax on the poor and impose a tax on their grain. Therefore, though you have built stone mansions, you will not live in them; though you have planted lush vineyards, you will not drink their wine. 12 For I know how many are your offenses and how great your sins.

There are those who oppress the innocent and take bribes and deprive the poor of justice in the courts. 13 Therefore the prudent keep quiet in such times, for the times are evil.

14 Seek good, not evil, that you may live. Then the Lord God Almighty will be with you, just as you say he is. 15 Hate evil, love good; maintain justice in the courts. Perhaps the Lord God Almighty will have mercy on the remnant of Joseph.

16 Therefore this is what the Lord, the Lord God Almighty, says:

“There will be wailing in all the streets and cries of anguish in every public square. The farmers will be summoned to weep and the mourners to wail. 17 There will be wailing in all the vineyards, for I will pass through your midst,” says the Lord.

The Day of the Lord

18 Woe to you who long for the day of the Lord! Why do you long for the day of the Lord? That day will be darkness, not light. 19 It will be as though a man fled from a lion only to meet a bear, as though he entered his house and rested his hand on the wall only to have a snake bite him. 20 Will not the day of the Lord be darkness, not light— pitch-dark, without a ray of brightness?

21 “I hate, I despise your religious festivals; your assemblies are a stench to me. 22 Even though you bring me burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them. Though you bring choice fellowship offerings, I will have no regard for them. 23 Away with the noise of your songs! I will not listen to the music of your harps. 24 But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!

25 “Did you bring me sacrifices and offerings forty years in the wilderness, people of Israel? 26 You have lifted up the shrine of your king, the pedestal of your idols, the star of your god— which you made for yourselves. 27 Therefore I will send you into exile beyond Damascus,” says the Lord, whose name is God Almighty. — Amos 5 | New International Version (NIV) Holy Bible, New International Version®, NIV® Copyright ©1973, 1978, 1984, 2011 by Biblica, Inc.® All rights reserved worldwide.
