It broke into a million pieces.
I put it back together again; it still works.
Oh... I lost a couple of pieces... But it still works.
Wait! I've lost a couple hundred pieces... But it still works
Scratch that. I lost a couple thousand pieces... But it still works
Oh dear. Nevermind. I have about ten pieces left... But it still works.
Oh no... Well, I only have one piece of this fragile thing... But it still works.
I'm giving this last piece to you. I trust you. Please don't lose it.
I'm not a part of your cliche. by JustKeepSwimminggg, journal
I'm not a part of your cliche.
I don't understand how you can smile all day long but cry yourself to sleep at night.
How pictures never change but people in them do.
How your best friend can become your worst enemy, or how strange it is when your worst enemy turns into your best friend.
How forever turns into a few short months that you'd do almost anything to get back.
How you can let go of something you once said you couldn't... live without.
How even though you know something is best for you, it just hurts the same.
How the people who once wanted to spend every second with you, think a few minutes of their time is too much to spare.
How people make promise
You looked. I glanced. We met. I smiled. You smiled back. A sentence here. A metaphor there. A memory we both found beyond repair. I shared. You listened. You shared. I heard. You paused. And then I kissed you.
We're happy.
Fingers pressed skin. Then danced apart. I teased. You laughed. You joked. I grinned. Stairwells were dreamcatchers. Stars were destinies. Guitars became epiphanies. More words. More memories. More to admit. More to regret. You were damaged. I was broken.
We're happy.
You stopped smiling. I didn't laugh. Words began to go unspoken. Regrets emerged. Fingers didn't touch. Lips faltered. Stairwells were nightmare holders.

So, some of you may have seen my work I did for school recently based around Secondhand Serenade. (if not you can see it here http://fav.me/d45m71a )
I was talking to my teacher after I had finished the work and it had been marked. I think I got 23 out of 25? Well I jokingly asked if she could get our works into the town art gallery. She said she would have a talk to the director and see what she can do. Turns out she can do something and now my works and a few others form my class will be in the regional art gallery! :D WOW!
I was all like "LOL! Wait, what did you just say?" when she told me about it.
Just kinda ex
