Life’s about loss and Life’s about change. Life’s about sailing The seas of pain. How nothing Ever Stays the same. We only have Ourselves to blame. Love is a concept. Love is a drug Love is a perfect, Comfortable hug. Love isn’t definable. Love is just love. Love—when she fits you Just like a glove.…

I so detest being ignored.And I hate attention. Did I fail to mention, I’d rather fall on my own sword. Most of your words are so toothless, So why do they feel like they’re ruthless?
