Favorite Quote:
Her heart was an open book with beautiful pages and detailed lettering. She wanted people to read her story in hopes that it would make them write their own. Instead, every person who came across the pages of her heart ripped out their favorite story and took it with them. They folded back pages and bent up corners. They signed their name with sloppy writing and with a simple 'goodbye'. This book is now tucked away in the darkest parts of her, because no one wants to read a tragic story with a bad ending.

Do you even love me?

Do you even care?

I love you, can't you see?

I'm broken just like you,

we were broken together.

Brother, please,

can't you see?

I'm hurt

don't you care?

I'm crying

watch me bleed

I'm dying.
