"It's just that...I just think that some things are meant to be broken. Imperfect. Chaotic. It's the universe's way of providing contrast, you know? There have to be a few holes in the road. It's how life is."

Because I don't know what to think
and my chest is caving in around my
barely beating heart,
just to give it protection from You.
I'm gasping for air and screaming
out to you. Wait. Wait. Wait.
And I can't do this, not again.
A simple conversation and I'm
falling apart as my world
is turned upside down. I
just need answers, and I just
need truth and I just need you.
I always have.

I have to say that you used your words well, and if this poem of your is not published anytime soon, you should know that it has sunk into my heart, its amazing.

Words should be said but for some reason, theyre always unsaid, and we all need somebody to love

Great job!
