Mirror in the Morning

This morning I saw sexy
eyes from sleep
They are originally
big and round like marbles

As she yawns with her mouth
opening wide
like she’s about to swallow
everyone in the world
She splashes her face with water.

She’s then awake ...

Mirror

I am a mirror
seeing nothing but reflections
The lights glide to me, giving
Waves, waving the beauty of humans
The nature glorifies my vision.

Seeing the humans every glimpse
make you want to explore the outer
world of aliens with green
hair and blue skin

The blur sight of my
mirror ironies the soft hard
skin with pimple

She's the One

As you grow up, you learn that:

Even the one person who wasn't supposed to let you down

probably will.

You will have your heart broken probably more than once,

and it's harder every time.

You'll break hearts too ...

so remember how it felt when yours was broken.

You'll fight with your best friend.

You'll blame your new love for things an old one did.

You'll cry because time is passing fast ...

and you'll eventually lose someone you love.

So take too many pictures, laugh too much,

and love like you've never been hurt ...
Because every sixty seconds you spend upset

is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.

Love is giving him the power to destroy you ...

but trusting him not to.
Real love stories never have happy endings
because real love stories never end.

In love, the hardest thing to say is goodbye.
Never make somebody your everything
because...
When they are gone, you've got nothing.

Having the love of your life break up with you

and say we can still be friends is like ...
Your dog dying

and your mom saying you can still keep it..

If you can't get someone out of your head, maybe they are meant to be there.

Really, SSS loves ZZZ.

Chicken

Q: Why did the chicken cross the road?

How It Feels

How it feels to give someone your heart,
and he or she doesn't care for it.

If you ask me I know how it feels ...
It feels terrible,

and as the owner of the heart,

it makes you sad.

So, if you are given a heart by someone,
my advice is that

you must take care of it!!!!
