Broken and tortured, all I now know is p.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/jo34/1023784/ Have you ever missed someone so much you dreamt about the day,that the two would meet again and sprint just to embrace.I do have a friend such as,but all has passed away.It’s sad to know the times we hadare vanished in the haze.If I could see you just one more time,how great that day would be,.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/jo34/1023716/ After all this time, it seems nothing has changed.You lift me up, just to leave me hanging on the edge.And since you have the upperhand on me,I'll leave you with a ballad of what i though that we could be.Anyway it's not like we're that much alike,And trust me when I say it wasn't love at first sigh.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/jo34/1023684/ You and me waited for the perfect time,and we watched as the window slowly passed us by,the only thing left now is to say our goodbyes.You move on much quicker, I'm still in the dark,but why would you turn back while you're shooting for the stars?The distance is so close, but our hearts are so far.A.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/jo34/1023519/ A slow song playing, my smiling face,I thought I had found true perfection.A painful memory I can’t erase,As I saw you gaze in her direction.Led on by notions that there was a flame, a heart now sinks with the setting sun.I have only one person left to blame,Now it seems my woe has just begun... http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/jo34/1023287/ You and me are like a burning candle, Lit from a single spark that set us all on fire.When life was cold and dark and more than I could handle,Your light was the only thing I ever desired.Our flames been blown upon hours after days now,Like the wind against a tree in a hurricane.The candle’s t.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/jo34/1023278/ She lies alone on the bathroom floor,Her hands covering her shameful face,Abused and weary to live on more,Her painful memories can’t be erased.She found her God in the kitchen knife,Painting the ground a deep shade of red,Barely awake and hardly alive,It’s too late to change the things .. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/jo34/1023275/ Everyone's had a broken heart.
