Favorite Quote:
"If you think adventure is dangerous, try routine – its lethal"-Paulo Coelho


Too young to realize
Too naïve to notice
The little things I did on purpose
I cared for you in every way
But all you acknowledged was betray
From there it began, to my dismay
One after another, a lie a day
A forged truth surged between
For you and I, this was our spleen
The water droplets that took your place
Found comfort in my wounded embrace
So pained to see that I had lost
The person dearest to me at minimal cost
Hatred and jealousy invaded our veins
To find that my vigor had taken strain
No longer was I concerned
With the torment that you gave
I was presented a life and lifted from my cave
At this very moment, it came to me
That you had drawn far
Too far for me to breathe
Out of reach and helpless, my task was no longer there
I had no form of aiding you; I had no life to spare
For this I say I’m sorry
I retire from my post
I truly wish I could’ve been more help; I will always love you at my most
