The pain you feel in your heart,
of the little tiny cracks,
the burning of the hot tears
scorching down your cheeks,
simply is a nice reminder
that your heart is beating,
you're still alive

Save your pleas, no one saves the strays

Loving you is the most exquisite pain a soul could feel

Do I have the strength to face the future? Or will I simply be another number, on the list of people past.

Darkness surrounding me again,
feeling just how alone I am
and how much I've let slip away,
wishing I had the inner strength needed
to finally change my course.

It's not the pain that will kill you, it's the hope that will

Some days I want to scream and shout, maybe then you'll hear me! I say the same things over and over, sometimes I just wish you understood the words I'm saying

You can not reach your destination if you don't first lay the stepping stones, one by one, to build your destination on

We laugh, we cry, we remember, we mourn,
we continue to love despite a shattered heart,
knowing death took you away
and yet you'll always remain,
holding our hand every step of the way.

It's not how many times you've wanted to leave that matters, it's how many times you've chosen to stay
