Do the stars stop shining

When the sun comes awake?

Did the bands stop showing

When the radio began to play?

Would the world stop turning

If you gave it the okay?

So what did you think

Would happen to me

When you threw my love away?

The author's comments:

The world doesn't end when relationships do. Love can be fickle and even toxic at times, so sometimes it's a breath of fresh air to move on. Even when hard things happen, you can move on and be stronger for it.

"Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living. The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in the mirror which waits always before or behind."
