Favorite Quote:
“She has a bookshelf for a heart, and ink runs through her veins, she’ll write you into her story with the typewriter in her brain. Her bookshelf’s getting crowded. With all the stories that’s she’s penned, of all the people who flicked through her pages but closed the book before it ended. And there’s one pushed to the very back, that sits collecting dust, with its title in her finest writing, ‘The One’s Who Lost My Trust’. There’s books shes scared to open, and books she doesn't close. Stories of every person she’s met stretched out in endless rows. Some people have only one sentence while others once held a main part, thousands of inky footprints that they've left across her heart. You might wonder why she does this, why write of people she once knew? But she hopes one day she’ll mean enough for someone to write about her too.”

Once I promised to visit and help out,

But the day turned to night         

Ending up with no sound.            

Come next month still no one around.        

Maybe tomorrow, if I’m not busy.        

Been a year still haven’t seen me.


I said the words I love you.

He said it back, meaning it.

You could tell by the way he looked.

People started questioning me.

'Do you mean it?'

My answer every time. Nope.


I told her, she was my best friend,

She believed me, so did everyone else

But isn’t that what you tell every

little annoying sister, who follows you around

I never felt regret about my decision, until now.


Once I was told that I’m helpful

and such a good big sister.

I was told we were a perfect couple.

I didn’t like all the praise,

I wish they knew all the lies inside.

I wish I knew how to tell the truth.
