Hello
Oh darling, you need to stop crying,
You have absorbed all the rain from the clouds and carefully placed them in your eyes,
On your cold pillow that's no longer comforting,
I know your confused right now and nothing seems to make sense,
because the people you've come to know and love are not who you thought they were,
The person you thought you knew best,
just betrayed you and you don't know where to turn,
But just hang in there because it will all get better,
and yes your life will still have its ups and downs but trust me,
It won't be as bad as this.

We expect a chair to be there when we sit down
We expect that the outcome will turn out ok
We expect the water from the bottle to taste good
We expect a stair to be there when we put our foot down
We expect that we will sleep well
We expect too much from such an unexpected universe
And we hope for good outcomes when all we had was bad karma.

What's a little lie that had held some truth?
Small increment of time wisely pre-planned  
Our wild adventures in our youth
I had known it like the back of my hand
The risk took me somewhere I've never been
I have never felt like that way before  
All that comes to her mind is the word "sin"
I willingly walked through that double door
Hiding from the one who started this mess
She saw me and came at me with her words
She then sent me out and caused all this stress
Me, watching all the obedient herds
I kept walking until I found the way
"Was it deserving she went me away?"

21. Write all your feelings down on paper
22. Always think before you speak
23. listening and hearing are two different things

When...

When the fish start drowning,
When the birds stop flying,
When the plants stop growing,
And the sun stops burning,

When the rivers stop flowing,
When the arrows stop pointing,
When the directions don't help,
And the hearts stop beating
Will be the day I'll stop loving you

I wrote it down today,
the three words.
I stared at them, hard, thinking only of you,
I took my pen and scratched it out.
I thought "how could I love someone one day and the next, totally lose feelings?"
And now I find myself doubting if the feelings were ever really there
I know they were there at one point,
But it all seems like a bad dream, and some would say nightmare...
