And one day she just quit.
She had taken it for so long that she had nothing left to give and was so bitter she couldn’t function.
She gave in and gave up trying.
She stood up and walked out the door.
She’s going to do what she needs to do.
She’s going to be strong and carry on.
And when she looks at that baby girl, she’ll know she was right in the end.  
Her little girl needs love that she can’t give with a dying heart, and fading soul.
Her innocent eyes shine bright with the reflection of hope and better days.
She will walk down her own road, and do it her way.
She will ignore the whispers and weary glances because he’s the one who ruined all chances.  
Without a hint of bitterness she says, “Love is overrated”

She’ll be ****** is she’ll fall again.
She’ll go cliché and wear her cold heart on her sleeve.  
All the love she needs is there in her child’s face, glowing with unconditional forgiveness and innocence.

I sat down today to write it all down.

But when the pen touched down I drew a blank.

Our story is nothing but a bittersweet tragedy, kissed by serendipity.

A story full of ups and downs,

And detours of disappointment.

The untold fairytale with the saddest ending.

But I wouldn't rewrite a thing.



Because if it wasn't for you

I wouldn't have her,

And if it wasn't for us

I wouldn't know true love.



In her eyes shines the hope and love I've been missing.

Her face shows the right in all our wrongs.

She is the one my world revolves around.

And for her I would...



Rewind it all and hit replay.

I would relive every single day,

I wouldn't change a thing

That brought my life it's meaning,

She is the reason I breathe.

When we began here

Our lives were starting new

We made friends

And passed the years

Now we realize it will end here

Friends will fade

And tears will be shed

Time flies by

It sure slipped past us

Time for good-byes

And happy ever afters

No one will be the same

The time has changed us

In the end we cant complain

We made the most of what fate gave us

When we're walking

Then we'll see

This is it

Our final ending

Everything slows down

Now we're scared

Tears are falling

Hearts are calling

Look back on this time

Laugh and cry, but smile

No regrets, no forgetting

That this was real and we were here

When you meet him

Don't let him go

Love him with all you have

But never let it show

When he hurts you, keep it in

Never let him win

Never let him see you cry...

Give him whatever he needs

Be his everything

Be there when hes down, bring him up

But never let him see

When he pushes you down

Hang on until its time to fall

Never let him see you cry...

Your tears are his Victory

He needs to know you care

Without having to care in return

He needs to have the upper hand

Your tears are weakness

Because to love...is to be at your weakes

Its hard to wonder

To never know whats real

Its hard that you might lie to me

About the way you feel

All the nights we were alone

Sharing secrets I would never tell

You went and ruined it all

You were ashamed to share yourself

Now you wont say it

You say it takes your power

Well it gives me strength

Strength to stand up and leave

Someone is only as weak

As they are in the eyes that adore them

When you think you are powerless

Is when you are biggest to me

Decisions Need to be made

The chance is either worth it or not

Its your choice, but last chance

For one last dance

To keep what was there.

I was young

Too young

I was young

But too wise for my years

No child should know

No child should have to know

That smell, those signs

The ones that mean not today

"Not Today"

No fun or joking around

No going to the park or downtown

You're too tired

Yea, I know...

And you...

Can you even hear me?

Do you see me?

Or do you see two?

No child should know

No child should have to

Pour your drink and measure it just right

1/5 parts normal, 4/5 parts evil

I stand strong for me

Because you couldn't stand at all

I am independent

Because you always needed a hand

I hated you!

I Love You...

I guess its me

I guess I'm the one

The one with the problems

The one who ruins it all

When you're here, I can see

But when you're not, I lose reality

I start to think I can make it alone

Until the next time you return

When I cant see you gone

You say I'm stubborn

You say I need to change

All you say is I need to change

While I have never asked you to change

In a perfect world

Two people would love each other as they are

But this is not a perfect place

And I guess change is my only chance

Is it worth it?

Is he worth it?

Am I worth it?

More importantly, could I live without him?

Would I even want to try?

Is it possible to live after finding perfection in someone?

Even if you are flawed in their eyes...
