All good is hard. All evil is easy. Dying, losing, cheating, and mediocrity is easy. Stay away from easy. <br /> Scott Alexander <br /> <br /> A word is dead when it is said, some say. I say it just begins to live that day. <br /> Emily Dickinson <br /> <br /> Not knowing when the dawn will come I open every door. <br /> Emily Dickinson

Like an overwashed sweater,why can't you just fade?
Struggling to understand why I can't wake up one morning without you on my brain.
As a precaution, I try to keep myself an anticipated step away in order to reject your love's decline.
My mind wanders wanders but my heart is left in the dust.
Being blown over and stepped on.

Seems as if marrow is being sucked from my lovely bones.
And I ask,...When will it be your turn?
