Fling

love for company’s sake love in the cakehouse carried them away to where Monday is a little rope of life that most forget they are getting till it is too late for any plea

The book-lover’s blues

chance is a good companion but needs are the greatest confidants I love sometimes and sometimes I do not care a woman is lovely but I suffer God forgive me for my books

Looking back

night calls me to myself an earful of old pain two loves have I and only one pocket arson is a pretty house with ingenious chemistry

After Trakl

Now the days begin to shorten and when the candle is going out the smoke descends like a mind turned quiet and we hear love take leave without speaking…

Breakup

I hear the first words die with a strange turn into thin ear. The common years we were merry in go cold—prayers to be mulled.

Charm

fire fire burn my brick live like some cut in the body a good drinker-up of every love

The First Guy

There's always the first guy, They're the first try, At love, But then they're the first lie, And after that comes the first goodbye, And don't forget the broken heart,

soft

sometimes i wish I could erase our memories , other times I think they're the only reason why I'm still here you used to make me wanna live , now you make me wanna die because without you I could never feel alive in my mind I wish I could forget in my heart the memories are all I have left

Heart breake

In The moment she went, my heart broke in 1.000.000 shards The cold Autom wind crawled through the holes in the facade into the small, dark room, whirled up my orange curles to a tornado and then disappeared with the remnants of my heart into the empty of the night. If I'd really wanted to, I could have picked up the shards and perched them together . But why the effort? I haven't felt anything for a long time... At least not until I met her.

"You must have really loved him." I looked down, Realizing what I have up, And what I had to do I simply responded, "I did."

To Mary Shelley

The world is dreary, And I am weary Of wandering on without thee, Mary; A joy was erewhile In thy voice and thy smile, And 'tis gone, when I should be gone too, Mary.

heartbreak

"I don't want 'us' anymore" it all changed "I don't feel the same as I did before" I do "I was wrong" again and again "I want you back"
