Heartbreak

How he broke my heart

Verse 1:
Behind her laughing smile,
is a broken heart.
A girl who can shed,
no more tears,
cause she's cried for the world,
the moon, the stars,
and the violence,
that never stops

Chorus:
Who says the world,
won't stop for you?

( I hope to put out a podcast with the words on it soon!:)
Do any of you have a suggestion for after you? or a suggestion for change?

Friends

Once I had a friend, who knew me like i was a book,
Reading between the pages,
anylizing every look,
and then one day she became pouplar
and left me pretty quick
to go meet those new friends, her very own new click

she changed,
so much
I miss her
so much
time to face reality
growing up has never hurt so much
she's gone

Closure

I just did something stupid.
I asked for closure
