He ignored my plea when I implored him to stay
I cried silently
Gripping the metal of my verdict
He shuddered when I slid the chain around his neck
He didn’t say anything
He took a deep breath of aversion
His algid eyes piercing through my soul
His hands were cold just like his heart
I mourned for his death
In my hands, he bled
I took his heart out
His cruel heart, no more
Ragazza Triste 
u carved his heart out good

they might not ALL be the same? But enough of them are useless at the least, totally destructive at the worst, that you have to assume out of 100 1 might be a good person. maybe two. just my opinion. i have three boys and i think they are awesome but adult men? that’s a hard dating pool to pick from.

Yey. Welcome to WordPress. I wish you don’t get tired of writing and sharing your thoughts with us. Do you have Twitter or IG which I can follow as well?

Aww thank you. I won’t ever get tires of it .I’ve had the writings for years but was never brave enough to share. I had read a couple to a close friend, co worker and posted aacouole on a FB page I belong in, my friends pushed me to blog them. The comments received from the FB page were unbelievable and never thought I’d help someone as such. Now I can maybe help more and others can help me with their writing.
