Days I spent trying to get over you

4
Friends that know what we did

Accept and Except
Fact versus fiction
Reality versus fantasy
There is a place for both
Given time and thought
Truth versus lies
Reflect carefully on that one
You can achieve it
If you believe in yourself and your fellow human beings
It's in your hands
It's in your minds
Make it happen
the world would be a better place
It is possible

You don’t decide who
Will make your heart race.
The corners of your lips just
Upturn so suddenly
That you only notice your smile
When you step forward and feel
The cement  pieces
Of a shattered frown
On the ground beneath your feet.

I can’t stop asking.
How could I not ask questions?
I don’t have answers.

i laugh at the irony
that love broke my heart.
