Favorite Quote:
&quot;I was always an unusual girl.<br /> My mother told me I had a chameleon soul, no moral compass pointing due north, no fixed personality; just an inner indecisiveness that was as wide and as wavering as the ocean, and if I said I didn&#039;t plan for it to turn out this way I&rsquo;d be lying.<br /> Because I was born to be the other woman.<br /> I belonged to no one, who belonged to everyone.<br /> Who had nothing, who wanted everything, with a fire for every experience and an obsession for freedom that terrified me to the point that I couldn&#039;t even talk about it, and pushed me to a nomadic point of madness that both dazzled and dizzied me.&quot;


paralyzed with fear, im admitting i still need you hear
but i've got no way to tell what's right or wrong anymore
its so strange to think i knew you, that i honestly believed in you
so much innocent trust, although i know your not to blame
cause we honestly tried.
and darling , we were beautiful.

stars shifting weight, and you shifted from my side
nights of careless hearts grew heavy
and you showed no mercy
those things you found so intruiging drew you further away
ironic, how i dont recall the pain.

but i still remember light that emanated from you
how could anyone forget such radiance
i'll never forget.

I wrote this about my boyfriend after we had a really rough time. I realized I'm doing better without him, but sometimes I still think back and just remember things.

I really like your poem because you didn't just remember all the bad times of your relationship, you mostly focused on the good and remembered that you don't need a boyfriend to be happy. Keep up the good writing! =]

PS.> and lets face it.. boys will be boys =]
