Matter,
A simple thing,
But so complex
It makes everything around us,
Surrounds us,
Compacted into nothing,
But something,
But does it make up this pain,
The matter is driving me insane,
I think,
I'm going to sink into my own self pity.
-- It doesn't matter anymore
Its over with, DONE.
"Move on." You murmur
But it won't leave your mind
A single tear hits your pillow
The winds rushes by your window
"It doesn't matter" you say,


Day by day
Is it really matter?

&quot;Love takes time. Don&#039;t keep asking random people to go out with you. If you wait, God will send the right person to you. But if you don&#039;t, then you may never find the one you&#039;re destend to be with.&quot; -Shannon McConnell
