Hopeless

Help me find love in the darkness of night.
Swallow the arrow of Cupid's own bow.
Silence your mind at the break of days light.

Fairy Tale Dreams

Dreams of fairy tale endings and story book boys led her to believe love can be a child’s toy. Growing up fearless thinking a man would complete her, not knowing most came to overpower and defeat her. The child’s dreams faded like the honeymoon phase but remained a glimmer of hope that love would see better days. Bold and daring she stayed to be true to her heart.

She listened intently and never spoke out of turn.   We kept pouring it on her and she kept taking it. Not once did she complain. The best advice always came from her.
