Inhale, No ones watching us feel tonight,
As our minds race toward things unspoken.
The ballad of your thoughts I should fight.
The last breath I feel is a token.
For tonight will be our last, you make clear,
While our words tear each other more and more.
This will be the end of it all I fear.
I let more tears fall as you lock the door.
Exhale, here comes the worst that could kill.
Inhale, watch while he winds back for more.
Exhale, his amber eyes he will fulfill.
The bruised heart has now been torn.
I Breath in one last time, my eyes cluttered.
Exhale, I die in the words that you have stuttered.

I have had my heart broken twice by the same boy and I didn't understand how much words could tear you down until that all happened. I will always love him but this was from when I was extremely hurt.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."

"Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." -Lord Alfred Tennyson
