"Let the beauty we love be what we do. There are hundreds ways to kneel and kiss the ground." - Rumi


Like smoke, coils
around my neck,
catching in my throat,
strangling my words.

I

choke down my
sobs as the blows
continue to rain down.
Naive, I

never

would have known
three simple words could
so utterly change a
person. I doubt you even

knew

what love is. Was
it all just a lie? Was
it all just blind desire?
Us. Me.

You.

Together forever.
All lies. Tell me,
Is this what you wanted?
... Do I even want to know?

Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take... but by the moments that take your breath away.
