Favorite Quote:
"Sometimes at night I would sleep open-eyed underneath a sky dripping with stars. I was alive then." -Albert Camus


There is nothing left to say,
Only words left to scream.
I could ask why,
Or how,
Or when,
But I don't want to know.
You told me love hurts,
But I never quite believed it,
Until you pressed your painted lips against his bitten ones,
The ones he said were mine,
Even while you two kissed.
I want you to know that I loved you just as much as I loved him,
And that I would have found a way to make our worlds fit together.
I don’t understand how you could kiss your best friend’s man and five minutes later tell her she’s like an older sister.
Questions don’t solve problems,
And the equation waiting to fix you and I is much too complicated for me to solve.
I don’t understand your variables,
And I’ve never been that good at math.
I love you never got you to care and I know you’ll never apologize for that.
Goodbye, dear sister.
Just so you know,
You're forgiven either way.

Sometimes, your best friends are your family, but that doesn't mean they won't break your heart.
