"You can always close a book, but you can never close the mind of a writer."


Here we stand again, my dear,
Yet you stand over there; away from my side.
Last time we stood, you held my hand.
In the past, you were my guide.

Look over here and catch my eyes,
See the anger and see the pain.
Don’t be afraid of the hurt you’ll feel;
for I’m only playing your game.

Save your breath and don’t deny it,
You remember it better than I.
Although you have tried to erase this mistake,
The memories will never die.

Don’t look at me as if you don’t remember,
There’s no way to forget our past.
I know you remember the rise and fall,
And I’m sure the heartbreak will last.

But I won’t stand here alone, my sweet,
While you think you have it together.
You’ll wish your past wasn’t haunted.
And you’ll regret your lies forever.

When someone has done something to you that hurts beyond any belief...it's always hard to accept that they're not suffering like you are. Sometimes you can only hope that it will catch up to them in the end.

The truth is that at some point, everyone's going to hurt you. You just have to decide who's worth the pain.

Some say having something to lose is what makes you vulnerable. I believe that having something to lose only makes you stronger.

Wow, this is really good. It feels kind of haunted and spooky with the strained anger in the words. Fantastic job ;)

Today is the Tomorrow you were worrying about Yesterday. The journey of a lifetime begins with one single step. Negativity is the downfall of dreams. It's not the quantity of friends that matters it's the quality.

May I say that U are truly the best writer on this site...amazing work
