Broken Love Song

Losing love is worse than never knowing love,
As ignorance is bliss, and love’s an ugly dove—
Elegant by appearance, tragic by the heart,
Tearing me to pieces,
Bit by bit, part by part.

The worst isn’t that you’re gone,
It’s that you’re never coming back,
If only I could bottle your scent that’s on me,
And keep it for eternity—
But no, that just won’t do,
For I lost a little piece of me when I lost you.

My tears taste salty—just like the ocean,
Maybe the sea’s a collecting place of bad emotion.
Maybe if I jump in, I could teach myself to swim,
And one day make it to a foreign shore,
And try to feel happiness again.
Maybe if I drown, the waves will hide my tears,
Maybe if I drown, I’ll forget what I don’t have—
For what I don’t have is you,
And my tears are drowning me slowly,
As slowly I sink, to the bottom of the ocean,
To a place where I can think.
A thinking place where I think of what was lost,
And I think that maybe it’s me,
For I’m a lost cause.

So to you I’ll say goodbye,
And hope you never see me cry,
Or shed a tear for the love that was so near,
Then ran away into yesterday,
And took what was dear.

When you're in a night that seems almost devoid of stars and you look but can't find someone to help you see. Look for that lonely star and let it guide you until you find the light. (anonymous)

You can really feel the emotion, and its honestly moving on a deep and touching level! Keep writing more like this it's wonderful!

&ldquo;This life is what you make it. No matter what, you&#039;re going to mess up sometimes, it&#039;s a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you&#039;re going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they&#039;ll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they&#039;re your true best friends. Don&#039;t let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they&#039;ll come and go too. And baby, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can&#039;t give up because if you give up, you&#039;ll never find your soulmate. You&#039;ll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn&#039;t mean you&#039;re gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don&#039;t, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life&#039;s a beautiful thing and there&#039;s so much to smile about.&rdquo; <br /> ― Marilyn Monroe

so LOVELY. <3
