ever love someone so much it hurts?
i know, i know.
that sounds lame.
i know.
i will be the first to admit it.
i'm the first one to laugh at a cheesey movie
or to make fun of a cliche comment.
but think about it..
why do movies have cheesey endings?
because they're happy.
that's what people want.
to be happy and to think others are happy.
things are easier that way.
why do comments or phrases become cliche?
because they're overused.
because they're true.
they wouldn't be so common if they were lies.
people like to think that others know how they feel.
it makes them feel like others are honest.
that's what people want.

Literature
holding on to nothing.
awkward silences
fill the spaces
where our words used to lie
poisoning us both
with a lack of interest
and a constant yearning
for something else
or someone else
leaving us unhappy
and unsatisfied
but neither of us
willing to give up the security
we have provided
for one another
for so long
i wrote you a letter in my head
it was full of apologies and explanations
everything you deserved to get
everything i never gave you
i expressed every feeling for you
i was honest
i begged forgiveness for all of my mistakes
intentional and non
i fogave all of yours
i even gave you the letter in my head
unfortunately this letter was just a work of my imagination
never to materialize
never to be read
