Story of a Girl Continued Again

Don’t ever give up
If u still wanna try...
Don’t wipe your eyes
If u still wanna cry...
Don’t stop asking questions
If u still wanna know “why”
...don't say you don't love him…
If you can’t let him go
Because it’s gonna take some time…
Never Try To Hold On To Something
That Is No Longer there…
It will Just Hurt You Even More...
And sometimes…
Holding on hurts worse then letting go…
Heartbreaks are only for the proof of having a heart…
It may be broken…
But it still continues to beat…
When love is gone
And it seems like
There’s no arms to run to anymore.
She feels all alone
And like there's no one for her to live for.
She doesn’t know how to
Let go of the things she’s always clung to…
He was supposed to be there for her.
To fight back her fears
And wash away all her tears.
But that doesn't matter anymore.
Because after time his words sank in…
And there’s no changing what’s already been…
She closes her eyes…
And whispers to herself…
“I don’t wanna say that I still love you… It hurts me everyday thinking about who 
you are kissing now…
But I’m not gonna lie… I’ve begin to let you go with every tear I cry…
In some time, I too, will be able to say ‘Goodbye’”
She needed someone
No one was there...
She asked for help
No one answered...
She begged for forgiveness
No one cared...
She screamed for attention
No one took notice...
She cried for you
No one dried her tears...
So she’s come to realize…
Real eyes
Realize
Real lies…
And a million words wouldn’t bring you back
She knows because she’s tried…
And neither would a million tears
She knows because she’s cried…
Her strength from enduring all the pain he caused is beginning to surface
She’s starting to realize she doesn’t deserve this…
So she whispers into the wind
“Someday he will be sorry
Someday when he is free
Memories will remind him of what we used to be…
And how no one can hold him like me…”
You only realize
How much you love someone
When they're gone…
Hearts are often broken
By words unspoken
Every thing happens for a reason.

Story of a Girl

As we grow up
We learn that even the 1 person that wasn’t supposed to ever let us down 
probably will
You will have your heart broken more than once
And it’s harder every time
You’ll break hearts to…
So remember how it felt when yours was broken
You’ll fight with your best friend
You’ll blame a new love for the things an old one did
You’ll cry because time is passing to fast
You’ll eventually lose someone you love
So take many pictures
 laugh too much
 and 
love like you’ve never been hurt because…
Every 60 seconds you spend upset
Is a minute of happiness you’ll never get back
Find a person who calls you beautiful instead of hot
Who calls you back when you hang up on them.
Who will stay awake just to watch you sleep
Wait for the person who kisses your forehead
Who wants too show you off to the world when you’re in your sweatpants
Who holds your hand in front of their friends.
Wait for the one who is constantly reminding you of how much they care about you
And how lucky they are too have you…
If you find a path without any obstacles
It’s probably not leading anywhere...
Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take
But by the moments that take your breath away
We are the unheard voice
So here’s a piece of advice…
Let go when you’re hurting too much
Give up when love isn’t enough…
And move on when things are not like before…
For surely there is someone out there
Who will love you even more…
After all…
Nothing’s more painful 
then realizing 
he meant
Everything
To you…
But you meant
Nothing
To him.

Story of a Girl Continued

You know what they say…
A girl that laughs a lot and
Cries a lot
Is standing on the line
[between]
Giving up
And seeing
How much more she can take…
But soon enough she’ll
Finally give up
She’ll drop the fake smile
As a tear runs down her cheek
She whispers to herself
"I can't do this anymore"
She feels all the pain…
She had it stuffed down
And now
It’s back again…
And she lies there in bed all alone
She can't move but
She feels tomorrow will be “okay.”
Fed up.
Being hurt is overrated.
She’s sick & tired of being hated.
The reasons just continue to be lame.
It's like she’s a pawn in this childish game.
In and out of friendship cliques.
Girls become ruthless…
& guys become heartless…
It's getting old
& she can't take much more.
Everything has turned into trying to score.
Sooner or later it'll all die down.
But by that time she won’t be around.
She’s running from this
Running away.
She feels that there is no reason she should have to stay.
Childish games are not her deal.
She’s losing all emotion
She’s starting not to feel…
I just wish you new all the tears she cried for you
And how you killed her
But you'll never know
Because then you'd know she cared for you
And you don’t even deserve that…
She fell for you
But you didn't catch.
Now she’s lying on this cold hard floor
And she doesn’t know what to do…
Because he won’t hold her hand anymore…
Isn’t it amazing how someone can shatter your heart into
A million
Little
Tiny
Pieces…
And yet you can still love them with
Every   little   piece….
