my face was cut out of the picture. i’m not sure if this was everyone’s intention or the side of the picture which held my (s m i l i n g?) face just happened to have slipped off of the edge. i laughed along with everyone else, but when the smile’s a pretend, pretty fake smile then i guess it’s not really a smile to begin with. and i tried breathing today without much satisfaction. it all ended up in my heart hurting and then he passed by me and it caused my heart to skip a beat which caused me in the act of passing out right there in the rush of the crowd. i’m starting to very much dislike the word love. and whether or not it can be defined, is beyond my everything entirely. all it ever gave me was the sound of my heart breaking. and it showed me just what exactly my tears tasted like. my dreams were never beautiful because everyone has decided to step on them on their way out the door. that’s when i decided to hang them up on my ceiling like little twirling stars. and i remind myself that the girl in the mirror is not who everyone believes she is. but it’s not so bad. each day i become more accustomed to the idea of smiling a real smile and cutting pretend out of my picture instead of me. falling and falling away; out of sight, until all we have left is a hint of truth and the true definition of love. i could be an accident, but i'm still trying. |

Woah...I always love your work, but this has to be one of my favorites. My favorite lines were, "all it ever gave me was the sound of my heart breaking. and it showed me just what exactly my tears tasted like." I can relate to that so well it's unbelievable. Thanks for sharing, this is going in my libary. If I could fall asleep tonight |
