mood: optimistic
music: Further Seems Forever-The Moon Is Down
I let my best friend,my world,my everything go last night.
It is just much easier on me if i just forgot about him completely.
God I can't even take a shower without remember him in there with me.I know it sounds fucking lame,but he was just so fucking gental.He tipped my head back and ran his fingers through my hair.Here I go again.
It's so hard.He imed me twice today, and all i did was sit and stare at the message arguing with myself if to answer him back or not.I chose the latter.God its so hard.But I know it is for the best.
both of us left without words
both of us lost in this world

I guess i can walk away from knowing i learned something.besides having a broken heart, i have a reason.
Im taking a deep breath, and im walking away.
I Love You

mood: crushed
cascaded willows dance in the moonlight
remembering "what was" or "what ifs"
It's starting to rain.
And i look into the moonlight
hiding my tears within the rain.
I raise my hands
reaching for what was.
Just a reminder.
I'll be left behind in the shadows of love.
Forgetting you wont be easy.
Kicking up memories that have been left in the dust.
Kiss these lips one last time,
because this is my goodbye.

  cry these words into a million paragraphs
senceless meanings and empty stories.


endless tales of happy endings.
and meaningless fairytales with new beginings.


wordless poems
and empty journals.


kept secrets and forgotten loves.


cry these words into a million paragraphs.
stories told to a thousand ears.


close the cover, this story is over

mood: heartbroken
music: From Autumn To Ashes
Did you ever look, did you ever see that one person,
and the subtle way that they do these things and it hurts so much?
So much it's like choking down the embers of a great place.
It's that moment when your eyes seem to spread aspersions
and to scream confessions at the insipid sky parting clouds.
You let this one person come down on the most perfect moment.
And it breaks my heart to know the only reason you are here now is a reminder of what I'll never have..
I'll never have.. I'll never...
Standing so close knowing that i kills me to breathe you in..
standing so close knowing that it kills me to breathe you in.
But this table for one has become bearable.
I now take comfort in this, and for this, I cherish you.
Did you ever look, did you ever see that one person
and the subtle way that they do these things and it hurts so much?
So much it's like choking down the embers of a great palce.
It's that moment when your eyes seem to spread aspersions
and to scream confessions at the insipidsky parting clouds.
And you let this one person come down.. come down. I cherish you.. I cherish you.
Just say that you would do the same for me..
just say you would do the same..
just say you would do the same for me.
For as much as I love Autumn,
I'm giving myself to Ashes.-From Autumn To Ashes




god explains how i feel about aaron....

mood: fed up
music: the rise
You know i am so sick of my mother, all my life she has made me deal with her problems. not like i dont have enough of my own to deal with. i have to deal with hers to. and when i tell her "i dont know what to tell you" she gets fucking pissed off at me.I ask her to watch madison for one night,ONE NIGHT so i can go to the 18v,throwdown and terror show and she fucking flips out on me. nothing like a grandmother that doesnt give a shit about her grandson.
Seriously,as long as i can remember shes made me deal with her problems with her which caused me a lot of stress...what kind of mother does that to her child..when she would come home drunk i would be the one putting her to bed. i would be making dinner for my brother and I, and when she decided to get really drunk and down her bottle of xanax, i was the one who was by herside at the hospital while she sat in a coma for 3 days. I was the only one to come see her, while the family including her blamed me for it because i cause my mom so much stress.She says the reason she has depression is because of the way i treat her.I wont deal with her problems anymore so its my fault she has depression.One of the reasons i got out of her house was because i couldnt take it anymore.The phone was being shut off so i would work extra hours to get money to keep it on.While her and my brother wasted their money on weed, or my brothers legal bills because hes a fuck up.Im so fed up with stil having to deal with it.She let my brother treat me like fucking shit and didnt do a damn thing.He would beat the shit out of me when i was pregnant,And she promised up and down once madison was born she would make him leave if he kept it up.Right. that didnt happen.He would fucking harass me right in front of madison and throw madisons shit around the house and still continued to beat the fuck out of me.Did my mother do anything no, her excuse was, "you bring it upon yourself" so finally i had enough i went into a shelter for domestic violence and got to where i am, so i could get away from her and my brother, and yet she still can fucking upset me with her problems.and blame shit on me when i dont fucking even live there..
What kind of parent kicks her pregnant daughter out the day of her baby shower, then doesnt even show up for it let alone get her anything...what kind of mother takes all her daughters pay checks when she was pregnant and spends it on herself and weed when it was ment for the baby???She claimed that the bassinet was suppose to be for my babyshower gift, when she kicked me out, i kept my pay check and baught it myself.God how is it she can stil.ll make my life a living hell when im no longer in her household.Jesus half of my issues surrond her.
i wish i could just tell her to fuck off and never talk to me.But no she always has a way of weening herself back into my life then making me deal with her bullshit. and im a bad daughter beause i dont care. you know what i dont care ive delt with her shit for the past 19 years, im done. i have enough to deal with i cant deal with her shit too..my family disowned me and you know what i dont care. i probably wouldnt be so fucking mental if my mother knew how to raise her kids...ive had enough...i draw the line here.
