			<title>Seamless </title>
			<description>It's 2pm and it's pouring outside.Mother Nature is singing of sorrow.I am numb, for the most part.Until that ache in my chest begins.I've never felt anything like this before.I can feel my heart being ripped in two.After so many years we merged together.So nicely you couldn't even see ..</description>

			<title>The last Christmas </title>
			<description>I always thought I knew what heartache was.I thought I'd felt the worst of it all.That it could never hurt more than it was hurting right then.That at least if I had my heart broken in the future, it couldn't feel any worse than it did in that moment.But I was wrong.As each day passes I fi..</description>

			<description>On a scale of one to ten how bad does it hurt?&amp;nbsp;The doctor always asks this before giving you any form of relief.And you lie and say it&amp;rsquo;s an 8 when it&amp;rsquo;s really a 5.Afraid the remedy related to the number won&amp;rsquo;t be strong enough.&amp;nbsp;Afraid you&amp;rsquo;ll still feel the pain and t..</description>

			<title>Sepsis </title>
			<description>You&amp;rsquo;ll never know how many times a day I fantasize about running a blade across my skin.Feeling that dull burn and the pull of my flesh against the blade.The sweet crimson relief pouring from my soul.I feel the blackness in me.It&amp;rsquo;s toxic, flooding my veins with poison.Causing sepsis with..</description>
