Her eyes meet mine
A tears falls down her face
I inch one foot forward
Closing the space
Her eyes plead sadly,
Filled with hurt and despair
Though it's tearing me apart
I can't break the stare
Her eyes are glistening
with what might have been
she asks me why
and I can't even begin
Her eyes tell so much
Her whole heart on display
I'm enveloped in her emotions
Fear, Pain, and Dismay.
Her eyes still haunt me
Reminding me of what I created
And showing that I inflicted
What I've always claimed to have hated.

About two years ago I attempted suicide. Someone knew something was off and called my mom. My mom rushed home and this is about the scene when I first saw her.

&quot;I would rather hated million times for what i did then loved a million times for what i didn&#039;t do.&quot; - Daniel Moto<br /> &quot; I&#039;ve sought out to be the best i could posibly be but when i hit a roadblock in life what did i do, i had two choices either stay at the roadblock or i take this roadblock and make of it and go around it and achieve my goal. So, what will it be?&quot;- Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &quot;People take love like its a four letter word or just a phrase that you tell people or your friends all the time. But in reality love is much bigger than a merely phrase or 4 letter word. Instead love is a genuine promise or covenant to that special person.&quot;-Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &ldquo;Why change yourself when you were made perfect and wonderfully by the creator of everything?&rdquo; &ndash; Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &ldquo;If live is not hurtin then were really not living in.&rdquo; &ndash; B.
