Live life up, you only have one.


She's breaking, breaking, breaking
Her world fell apart
Love was always enough
But now it only hides in the dark

Her breaths grow short
Her heart skips a beat
The world closes in
Hope flies out of her reach

Where can she find you now?
Should she follow you, my dear?
Or should she collapse on the ground
And drown in her worst fear

Her eyes search for a last sign of hope
But her only light begins to fade
She lay there completely broken
Reliving all the mistakes she's made

Emptiness and more emptiness
Her heart has never felt so alone
She'll live for the saving day
When you come back home

When I came to close recognition that no relationship is a guaranteed "forever" and my boyfriend of a year and I came inches from ending our relationship, reality hit me very fast.

I would rather you hate me for all that I am then love me for something I'm not.

This is an amazing poem. The emotions in it were so real. You have a lot of talent!
