&quot;Love is the slowest form of suicide.&quot;<br /> &quot; The loudest cry is silence.&quot;<br /> &quot; Light travel faster then sounde this why most people appear bright until you hear them speak.&quot;<br /> &quot;The best beauty comes from the worst pain.&quot;

Hurting you is like H***
Like the sadistic tinkling of a church bell
Like words to you I could never tell
Like Roman’s great rule that fell

Hurting you is like ripping my soul apart
Like watching all my hopes depart
Like a thousand lemons taste, so tart
Like setting aflame to my heart

And burning every piece
Yet finding no release
In death and knowing
The pain will never cease
Hurting you is like the burning
Of a great masterpiece

When you find someone you can say you truly love it hurts you every time you even accidentally hurt them.
