Gold teeth, Grey Goose, tripping in the bathroom, blood stains, ball gowns, trashing the hotel room, we don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams --Lorde

All the words are folded, now
Sorted neatly in your memory into
Boxes of things that
Would have been happier unsaid

Shake off the dust, now
Wipe off the towers of photographs
Waiting in your mind
Nothing lasts forever if unloved

The hardest part is over, now
But if it isn't, think on how things
Remembered are always not the same
Yet truth is never scared to ask for more

Aww this is nice! I love the ending line. " truth is never scared to ask for more".. I completely agree. You always want to know more no matter how bad it may hurt. Ignorance isn't always bliss. :)
