&quot;As you get closer to the light, the greater your shadow becomes.&quot;<br /> &quot;Never fear shadows. They simply mean there&#039;s a light shining somewhere nearby.&quot;<br /> &quot;The best way to become boring is to say everything.&quot;<br /> &quot;Forget arrogance, just ask and recieve&quot;

The streaks on my cheeks,
a painful reminder,
of what once was.
Dried and gone,
the tears no longer wet,
My skin tight,
but the heartache fresh.
Maybe you don't know,
but dried tears are the worst.
The remind us of pain,
of hate,
of unspoken chances,
of shattered hearts.
But nobody can tell,
So no help comes.
Sometimes we need to notice,
what's been shed,
to realize the hurt,
That can never be healed.
