Laying in the graveyard of our memories,

I watch as brown leaves slowly break away and fall to the ground.

Like our memories, I watch as they are carried off in the wind.

Every beginning has an end.
But endings bring beginnings.

I know that even though everything is dying around me, there will be new life...

I just don't know if I can hold on for that long. How much longer my heart can endure the strife.

He doesn't want me in his life,

*But I can't imagine life without him.

Acceptance of another requires bravery.
Not the loud, brawling courage
brought and left on the battlefield.
Rather the quiet kind of bravery when
she catches glimpses of my personal darkness
and still stays.
Her type of bravery is when
the fractured light fixtures behind my eyes flicker
before going out, plunging me in darkness.
She sits beside me sharing that dark.
She not only sees my enraged monsters
but tries to befriend them, understand them.
At times I’m deathly afraid of myself.
But she never seems to be.
And that is the greatest kind of bravery.

melodie foley
The selfish part of me
Wants to be the one
To save you
But I know
That's not the way
I can't light up all your shadows
Because sometimes
Darkness traps me too

And with each new boy that came and went,

She hardened her heart just a bit.

And now, it no longer beats.

Her body, it no longer heats.

She walks around with a hole that was supposed to be filled by someone.

Hope you're all happy, seeing what you have done.

Now, she will never get a chance to experience that joy,


And girls, that's what you get for wasting your hopeful hearts, on a bunch of foolish boys.
Protect your hearts.
