Remember Me

Never forget me
Remember me when I'm gone
Through you I will live

In your memories
I will live on forever
So don't forget me

For the day you do
I will not have existed
Do not let me die

Always remember
The days that we laughed and cried
Through sunshine and rain

Never forget me
My friend, my sister
I will live through you

There's Nothing More Depressing Than a Broken Heart

There's nothing more depressing than a broken heart. A broken heart doesn't heal nearly as quick as a broken bone. A broken heart can come from anywhere, a loved one dies, someone you love leaves you with nothing but memories, a best friend stabs you in the back. What do all of these things have in common? Love. I do not pretend to understand how the cause of a broken heart starts with love yet the healing balm applied to a broken heart is love.

There's nothing more depressing than a broken heart. Perhaps this is why depression is so common. Our culture lives for a broken heart. There's nothing better than a sad movie, a song about someone leaving, a book about someone dying. Happiness is hard to find anymore. A happy ending for a story, for a movie is hardly ever attainable in the real world. We look for happiness. We search for what those stories have but we never find it. So we turn to what we know is real, what we know can be touched in the real world.

A broken heart.

Break Up

I look outside and see a reflection 
It's a reflection of what's looming inside me
The woods are dark and ghosts hide
There's not a bit of green upon the trees

The dark barren landscape 
No warmth can be found
The winter moves on, dark and endless
I scream but no one hears a sound

I'm a boat upon the ocean
My anchor cut off and left me
Now I'm left to my own devices
All alone, floating on the sea

It's true that there are many fish
But a fish can't replace an anchor
A fish cannot possibly hold me in a storm
A fish can't hold down my sadness and anger
