They say you die a little by ~TheScarletPrince:iconTheScarletPrince:



They say you die a little
When your heart breaks
Its a little death
On the inside

You feel a burning in your chest
Like you’re drowning in fire
They say you die a little
When your heart breaks

Every smile is a lie
A mortician's careful skill
They say you die a little
When your heart breaks

A laugh becomes a mourner's wail
Those carefree jokes, your eulogy
They say you die a little
When your heart breaks

I'm fine I'm fine
Reads your tombstone's epitaph
They say you die a little
When your heart breaks

I like this. It is... very accurate.

There's a time to think and a time to drink! To the nights we'll never remember with the friends we'll never forget!

Thank you. I find it to be one of my most personal works.

... often when I write I am trying to make words do the work of line and colour. I have the painter’s sensitivity to light. Much (and perhaps the best) of my writing is verbal painting. ~Elizabeth Bowen~

One of my more personal works. I'm sure everyone out there can relate just a bit to it.
