Heartbreak Central

Hold me now
I need a break
Help me now
This life I can’t take
I’m tired of feeling
Something you don’t
I’m tired of hoping
Because I know you won’t

Your love is something
I can’t believe I lost
Your hate I relish
I’ll take affection at any cost

Some call me stupid
For not letting go
Some call me ignorant
But I’ve got scars to show

Because you’re what I need
To make my life complete
You’re what I need
For me to escape defeat
Because I need you now
I need you forever
And I’m going to fall apart
If we can’t be together

So last night I read all of your poems. And you're a really good writer. =) You write about a lot of what seems to be personal stuff, and I think a lot of that. Keep up the good work.
