There is but one lesson
that I've learned:
Do your best
the rest will burn

Follow your heart
do not let fate
drive you apart
from those who wait

Hope for the best
expect the worst
this breakdown
is not my first

I never wanted any more
than I had waiting
at my door
I simply wanted
to live again
to forget the things
that happened then

~Oh my,...the last part just stings. Very affective writing. "I simply wanted to live again",...*sigh*. Wow. Be well C. *Peace.

Thins brings to mind a few things I'd just as soon forget about.  To live again....  would I do any better the second time?  Good work
