You don't know suffering,

unless you've had everyone you've ever cared about

walk out of your life.

Why?

Because they take a part of you with them.

After they have promised to stand by you through it all -

they leave you cold and alone

and you feel sad, empty, hopeless.

And you are left with nothing.

Nothing but memories that keep you from moving on.

Because you hold onto them – so , so tightly

because those silly memories are a part of you.

And then it's when it hits you;

that you are nothing.

And no one you've ever cared about cares about you.

And you will be alone,

and you will not be remembered.

Not how much you loved.

or how much you suffered because of love,

and it's almost as if

you are nothing but star dust.
