You can kill the dreamer, but not the dream.<br /> I am not crazy, my reality is just different than yours.<br /> True love stories never have an ending.

Admirable as a rose may be...
It deceives all senses.
Thorns of misery,
Affliction and disease.
Overcome your heart,
Infect it with gloom,
Oppression of joy,
Conquered by weariness.
Sad and lonely,
You won't survive.
You see only bitterness,
Hate and despair.
Open your mind,
With kindheartedness.
Let colors flow,
And bloom like a rose.
Blossoms of beauty,
Distract from the pain.
This is what we call love,
And it's extremely insane.

Honestly, this is one of my friends writings, she wouldn't publish it, so she said I could. I want her to take all the credit though (:
I love you Cortnii Kaye. (:
