"I like to imagine that the burnt books of Alexandria
are floating in the air somewhere,
waiting for someone to breathe them in."

From "The Letters We Lose" by Jay Hulme ~ Clouds Cannot Cover Us
Pronouns: She/Her

What is grief, if not love persevering?

Grief is just love with no place to go.

Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
When I saw you in that dress, looking so beautiful
I don't deserve this, darling, you look perfect tonight

This is from Perfect by Ed Sheeran, you shoul give this a try.

So I'll tell you
A million tiny things that
You have never known
It all gets tangled up inside

I sleep to keep my mind at ease
I wander through a dream
Of what I Once believed

Latest Review: The Maestro Monologue by Rob White

Post by PrincessVenus554 »

Right from the start
You were a thief, you stole my heart
And I, your willing victim
I let you see the parts of me, that weren't all that pretty
And with every touch you fixed them
Now you've been talking in your sleep oh oh
Things you never say to me oh oh
Tell me that you've had enough
Of our love, our love

This our theme song. It is entitled “Just Give Me a Reason” by Pink!

Keep on moving, keep climbing
Keep the faith, baby
It's all about, it's all about the climb
Keep your faith, keep your faith

These lines are from the song “The Climb” by Miley Cyrus. It tells us to go through despite the many challenges along our way.

This line is one that isn't necessarily the most creative one out there, but I love the way the singer delivers the line, it makes it one that's very strong in emotion.

I've said it, I'll say it again, but I don't trust ANYONE that's on this damn earth, but I'll love in the best way I can.

This is from an unreleased song by Demi Lovato called Mistakes

Oh written in the stars
Million miles away
Message to the main
Oh seasons come and go
But I will never change
And am on my way

3. My favorite line or lyric is “And if our God is with us. Then what could stand against.” This is a lyric from a Gospel song Our God by Chris Tomlin. This line emphasizes a spiritual meaning that if God is with us, no one would stand against or no one can defeat us. This lyric reminds me that without God, I as a person is nothing as I am a follower and faithful to God. God is the secret among peace, success, grace and many others. Without God, this world is out of its meaning.

Heroes are forged on anvils hot with pain
And splendid courage comes but with the test
Some natures ripen and some virtues bloom
Only in blood-red soil; some souls prove great
Only in moments dark with death or doom.

I'm already there
Take a look around
I'm the sunshine in your hair
I'm the shadow on the ground
I'm the whisper in the wind
I'm your imaginary friend
And I know, I'm in your prayers
Oh, I'm already there
