The best things in life are unseen, that's why you close your eyes when you kiss, cry, or dream.
What doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger.


I’ll try to put the pieces back
But nothing seems to fit
The broken seams of yesterday
Are helping me to quit
I can’t get my fingers
To loosen their grip
I can’t fight the feeling
Teeth sinking, biting my lip
Everything’s so pale
Faded edges, ripped desire
Photographs of what used to be
The story of a liar
And all I see is burning
Memories drowning in fire
A lighter in my hand
Forcing a tired smile
