&quot;There is no such thing as love. It&#039;s a fantasy. That&#039;s why everyone tries so hard to find it.&quot; <br /> ~(500) Days of Summer

Regal strong tree, with glass leaves of thin green,
brittle cold roots intertwined in my soul.
Light in dark, shelters nothing to be seen,
amongst a Black Sea hid in calm control.
Yet all who dwell in its trickery there
share each other’s faces and fingerprints.
Soft pink lips crafted with nary a care.
“But does this reign true?” sub consciousness hints.
Perfect paradise, where all wish to be
with smiles pulled and twisted permanent.
But nothing, no one, is perfect you see.
At night strangers weep, nothing said is meant.
In the Eden of Clowns everyone lies,
Forever the same and nobody dies.

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;
