Favorite Quote:
“He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and don’t expect for more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you.”
― Bob Marley


Rejuvenating rain, come and wash away my sorrow
All consuming pain, leave, don’t come back tomorrow
Darkness washing over, please fade away with morning light
I’ll succumb to you right now, but only for the night
How is it that this pain can be so fresh upon my mind?
Why do I have to be a girl, so young, naive, and blind?
My innocence was long ago lost, yet still I do not see
The terrors and tragedies life has in store for me
It’s a sad realization, and it needs to be tended to
I know life wont ever be the same, not like when I had you
Tiny sparks of envying flame arise from my soul
How come darkness wins again, and I’m now just part of a whole?
The taste of bitterness on my tongue, something oh too sweet
This is a path of destruction that will sweep me off my feet
