-Out of dust we were made, and to dust we will one day return.-

You were the rock on which I stood,
The only thing I was sure of in life.
Weathered by the wind and rain,
Beat down through trials.

The rock that was my foundation
Became the sand on which the fool built his house.

As an alcoholic keeps coming back for more,
Despite the consequences,
I shall forever return to you.

To all things we must return,
And to return to you,
Is what I must do.
No matter how hard I want to stay away, no matter how hard I try,
you always return to my thoughts, my dreams...

Why do I still care about you so so much?

Too perfect is something that I didn't think was possible.
But sometimes, somebody is too perfect for you.
They are so right for you that they are actually bad for you.
It doesn't really make sense, but does anything?

Why do we need emotion?
What is the point of pain?
Why do we have memories?

Why do we need emotion?
Sure it may be nice sometimes,
But what about all the negative emotions?

What is the point of pain?
All it does is hurt.
We don't need that in our lives,
So why do we have it?
Why can't we just discard it or ignore it?
People often say "I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all."
Am I the only one who thinks this to be crazy?"
I  would rather be without feelings, good and bad, than have to suffer through pain.
Maybe I'm just naïve.

Why do we have memories?
Sure they are nice sometime.
Sure we couldn't survive, evolve, or learn from our mistakes without them.
But memories can be harsh.
Memories can haunt you for the rest of your life.
Memories can drive you to the grave.

Why is it that such wonderful things as emotions and memories can be so harmful to people?
How can they bring so much pain?

Head
I can't believe you actually want to go back to her. Don't you remember what she did to us, how she left us the way she did?

Heart
Of course I remember, but she wouldn't do that to us again.

Head
Why not? She just up and left the first time. She just left us and moved right on to the next guy.

Heart
But now she wants us back. She even apologized and asked for a second chance.

Head
She didn't mean it. She probably already changed her mind again and moved on to another guy.

Heart
How do you know she didn't mean it? She still loves us and I still love her.

Head
You can't take another beating like she dealt out last time.

Heart
It won't happen again. And besides, you can't break something that's already been destroyed so how much worse could she do?

Head
There's plenty of other beautiful ladies out there that we could be with.

Heart
Yeah, but none of them are the love of our life.

Head
I don't love her anymore.

Heart
I do.

Head
I can't take her back.

Heart
I will.

Head
Don't the other girls deserve a chance? Shouldn't we see if maybe someone else out there fits us better?

Heart
No. She's the only one for me.

Head
She dumped us over a txt and blamed the whole thing on us.

Heart
Maybe it was our fault and we didn't deserve anything better than the way we were treated.

Head
We do deserve to be treated better than that.

Heart
We were never happier than when we were with her. She was the only true joy in our life.

Head
But we were never hurt by anyone more than by her. She's the only one who ever made us cry.

Heart
I don't care. I still love her.

Head**
I don't think I do.
I must silence one of the voices inside of me, but I don't know which one to ****...

I'm over you.
But I want you.
But I really don't.
But I actually kinda do.
But I can live without you.
But do I want to?

I am but a shadow, ignored by all.
I am merely a cloud, going wherever the wind takes me.
I am nothing more than a leaf, no more special than anyone else.

I'm a loner.
I'm a drifter.
I'm the same as you,
And you are the same as me.
