They say that the darkness inside of you is something you have to deal with your whole life.
But I don't think you need you need to deal with it.  
I think that your darkness is something to embrace.
It's a part of you
And without it, you are not whole.
I have no business in getting rid of my demons  
And to be honest, I think it's time I embrace **them.

You say you want to fix people.
You say you want to make them better.
You say want to pick up their remains and make them whole again,
But you're still fractured yourself.
Be careful when fixing broken people,
You may end up cutting yourself on their shattered pieces.
I would know.
I still have scars from the days we were **together.

Hello love
I haven't heard your voice for days now
You were always one for the dramatic
I just didn't expect this
You left me so suddenly, you know?
And it wasn't like the movies
There was no last kiss
or embrace
Just your body lying lifeless on a silver tray
I had them cremate you
Because I just couldn't bear the thought of you
Six feet under
Left to decompose amongst living things
Like a mockery of your passing
Your ashes are spread amongst our special place
Somewhere only we knew
I refuse to accept you're gone
This love was never bittersweet
Nor was it easy
No, this love was ours
And it's end wasn't climactic
**It wasn't like the movies
I've been writing short films for a little while now and I decided to take things from a different, more blunt, realistic perspective. I wanted to write about how when true love is taken, it isn't like a film, or something written in books. There most often isn't a fairytale ending. When love is taken, the partner  remaining is suddenly left to begin anew.

You claim to feel my hurt
That you've had it worse
Well our lives are two very different struggles
Stuck in very different periods of time
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
But so is pain
And this time,
I think I'm more damaged than I'm letting on
So I'm **letting go

I think I have Peter Pan syndrome
Because I refuse to grow up

The difference is
I don't have a choice

Because Neverland is a place in storybooks
"The second star to the right and straight on till morning!"

But oh, how badly I still wish
to escape
to
**Neverland.

I told you I wasn't happy anymore
And you told me I'd be fine

I told you I've been like this for months
You told me it's nothing

I said I wanted to die
You said it was just hormones

I told you I was depressed
And you denied me **comfort

Him
His smile is reminiscent of the sun in the middle of July
His hair the color of a Chestnut tree
His arms strong like an ox
And skin aglow like a lantern on a summer's night
But his eyes
A color indescribable with words
For they are not simply green
or emerald
or a shade of the forest
But a seeing glass into the heart of me
He's true perfection in every sense of the word
**Him

— The End —
