huong1952: Because I Love You
I hope
when love seems weary
worn thin
by the irreconcilable differences in our hearts
there would still be
compassion
between us two
whom life had brought
too close together
to suffer
each other’s own pain and darkness.
I hope
when our hearts are
fading
those fragrant flowers of past memories
will not
turn into regrets.
(because i love you.)
“With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.”

All of This
punkdbyeros:
I need this
All of this
To shape me
To shake me
To take me where I ought to be
To school me
To fool me
To scare me into being free
To hail me
To fail me
To watch me as I gain control
To bless me
To caress me
To be there when I fall in love
So, trust me.
I need this,
All of this.

mindfulwellness:
Child maltreatment has been called the tobacco industry of mental health. Much the way smoking directly causes or triggers predispositions for physical disease, early abuse may contribute to virtually all types of mental illness.

huong1952: For Sophie
my friend you are twenty two
this night i wish life
is not too heavy
the pain less intense
the love of humanity
in your heart
will ease
the suffering
your own and the world’s.
