In three words I can sum up everything I&#039;ve learned about life: it goes on.<br /> ~ Robert Frost <br /> Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That&#039;s why it&#039;s called the present. <br /> ~ Unknown<br /> In the end, it&#039;s not going to matter how many

Your words are nails on a chalkboard
screams of a woman who's just been raped
stabbing into my heart, leaving it torn
dooming me to this unwanted fate.

How could you do this and betray
I trusted you don't you see?
I lay here now... alone and afraid,
wondering if they will ever believe.

My tears are dropping, flooding this day
twisting my head- don't know what to say
I thought you were now on my side,
everything you have said is a lie.

Feeling like there is no point
it's time for me to go away
this horrible feeling has taken over
the end just has to be today.
