&quot;When he shall die, take him and cut him out in little stars,<br /> And he shall make the face of heaven so fine<br /> That all the world will be in love with the night<br /> And pay no worship to the garish sun.&quot; -Shakespeare

Take a guess
Of how many nights
It took me to un-stitch my heart
And empty it of all your lies
And fake intimacy

Take a guess
Of how many hours
It took me to mend
And not be sore anymore

Just take a guess
and laugh

Because your game was well played
And I was the piece
That was thrown away

I write alot about wonderful love, but I usually don't write about the love that was lost and the hearts that were broken, so i'd thought i'd try.

&quot;I say what I want to say and do what I want to do. There&#039;s no in between. People will either love you for it or hate you for it. &quot;
