Don't bother Me with promises. Vows are cheaply manufactured, come with no guarantees. Don't bother to say you love me. The word is indefinable. Joy to some, heartbreak to others, depending on circumstance. There is evidence that the emotion can make a person live longer, evidence it can kill you early. I think it's akin to a deadly disease. Or at least some exotic fever. Catch it, and you'd better, quick, swallow some medication to use as a weapon against the fire ravaging body and soul.
Ellen HopkinsGrandma once told me it's easy to overthink love, to dissect it and question it until it is no more.
Ellen HopkinsForgiveness isnโt my best thing. Easier staying pissed. But Iโm tired of being pissed all the time. Tired of feeling hurt by stuff that can never be fixed because it is an indelible part of the past.
Ellen HopkinsYou canโt walk away from someone you love, leave them drowning in your desertion. If love has no more meaning than that, you can keep it. I donโt want it now or ever again. Donโt want to hear the word or wear its scars.
Ellen HopkinsMe? Beautiful? I'm plain as cardboard. That may be how you see yourself, but the rest of the world would be hard to agree. You shine brighter than the Milky Way. Now there are those who might try to take that from you, but you don't have to give it away. Keep on shining Pattyn. And when the right young man comes along, he'll love you all the more for giftin' this sad planet with your light.
