==============================================

Pain.
Tears.
Ruined dreams.
High Hopes.
Falling so hard.
Face down.

Are you going to stop me?
Are you going to hinder me
From reaching my unreachable dreams?
For you? Just for you?

I will.
With my whole heart, I will.
I'll stop, for you.
I'll give up everything for you.
Dreams are just dreams
Hopes are just hopes
Pain lingers. Tears trail forever.


I want you to be happy.
I want you to do everything you wish to do to me.
I want you to be contented.
I want to see you satisfied.

Don't worry about me.
This will pass.
I'll give up everything for your happiness
Don't worry about my pain.
I'm used to it.
Don't fret when you see tears.

I can't be good to myself.
I just want to give.
I will give everything.
I will surrender everything in me.

River of tears leave marks.
Pain lingers longer.
Such crash.
So painful. Crushing my heart.
Totally crushing my heart.

I'm being deaf now.
Deaf from everything my heart desires.
My personal desires.
My high hopes.
My dreams. My plans.
Don't force me to gain them back.
I can no longer handle them.

Pain.
Tears.
Ruined dreams.
High hopes.
Falling so hard.
Face down.
