“Words can break someone into a million pieces, but they can also put them back together. I hope you use yours for good because the only words you'll regret more than the ones left unsaid are the ones you use to intentionally hurt someone.”

funny,

the feeling of tried tears staining my cheeks,

the feeling of loneliness I know all too well,

finally decides to visit me again,

for another restless night.

The author's comments:

I often get feelings late at night that are difficult for me to explain to others, so instead, I try and write them down and figure them out on paper.
