Please remember, people are real even if their avatars are not... And hurt, whether felt online or off, is still very real hurt. Tend to your emotions, honor them. Be responsible for your emotions, & be gentle with others emotions too.
NOTE: This includes mine too.

Barren Heart
In quiet corners of candlelit nights
Wind whispers moans equal to sorrow
Swept drapes kiss the wood floor barren
Softer blues against dark desolation
Speaking to my heart my eyes closed tight
Pain wells up
Clinging to hope that it cannot possibly see
Feeling the impass, the lump of sorrow in my throat
Fate's laughter rings through the empty room
Careening off the white walls of lonliness
While unnoticed she sits
The shadow of life
The white gown of purity
Wrapped around broken dreams
Encased in her sin she weeps diamond tears
While owls carry budding seeds of despair to the moon
Drowning...she is
Lost she hides
Fearful of life
Not seeing her future
When you feel a glimmer of happiness during or after dark times you must grab onto the ankles of that happiness and not let go until it drags you face-first out of the dirt - This is not selfishness, but obligation. you were given life; it is your duty (and also your entitlement as a human being) to find something beautiful within life, no matter how slight.
