I think that in the end we would rather keep our pain than jump at a chance for joy....

We would rather hate than forgive and forget because forgiving makes it "ok".

We would rather keep our own crosses than trade for anything else...

I would rather go home to a husband who bashes my face in and his gifts to me are a couple of broken bones and bruises than take a chance with this cold world....

Once you find someone who loves u.. love u in their own kind of way... everything seems OK, perfect even... because nothing hurts more than rejection and uncertainty... It has to hurt to be "Love" ,,, right CUPID?

take only what you need
and leave the rest for me.
my emotions are poor
and hardly comforting.
they have become stiff
and raw since you decided to leave.
I'm not sure anymore what it is
that seems to be ailing me.
for if it was you
it would mean I still have love in my heart.
but my dear,
I assure you that I surely do not.

It kills me
With every single word I say
It kills me
With every single thought I have
It kills me
With every single breath I take
Because no matter what I do
That is the end
Of what we had.

I never meant to say goodbye.
But it escaped from my mouth and it felt so right.
And you didn't have to say it back,
but you let it fall from your lips as slowly as it sped away from mine.

This flash of light was enough to light up the night sky and so was the pain. Isn't this supposed to be just a change in the seasons? You pulled on the brakes and shifted gear. They say that there is calm in the storm, but it's all the same standing in the eye of the hurricane and I wish I could tell you that I'M ******* SCARED. I cannot seek out the calm I used to hide in, I cannot piece together all the words you say, and all you are now to me is foreign. Tell me where I am to go. I cannot fathom how you are now miles away from these constellations; stars do not exist. If we did mean the world to each other, is this how it feels when the world splits down the middle? Was I your refuge and did I get too carried away looking for a roof of my own? These slates choke the hell out of me and I'M ******* SCARED. We are young, but time is not on our side. It might all end when it's time to leave so please just trust me when I say I couldn't trust myself. If these hurricanes were to sweep things away, tell me, who was thunder, and who was lightning?

the third degree burns on my skin look much like the wounds you've engraved on to the surface of my heart

Before I turn 20 I had to make a real decision I'm three weeks away and I still haven't came up with a realistic proposition for myself who am I kidding here? We all have a future thats destind for greatness and its on me whether or not Ima take it! Run wall street with heavy feet, steel toe for anyone or anything standing in my way! The universe is huge but this money game is tight only a broad few really making it to survive, and I be **** if I dont produce income, for moms to retire before Im 25! Seems like im placing the bars high, truth hurts an honestly this is why I grind!

Keep your friends close & your enemies even closer. Prepare yourself for the moments where you'll be on your way to the top, and everyone behind you doing what evers necessary  to crack your foundation & support pointing out any and every weakness you have, exposing all that you work for
