Hm...interesting.

Love the line: "words before passion, except after heartbreak" Nice play on the grammar rule, and yet you called it the golden rule. I like the crossover tie-in.

I think the best way to handle break-ups is to live life large and never let them see you cry. Perhaps that's what your friend thought, too? Maybe not. But that's my philosophy!

The poem, though, very nice...

interesting inspiration, lovely poem.

the tone is what makes this worth the read and the line "saltwater swirls" is very addictive in the way it is placed. also, the ending just closes it perfectly.

well, each to their own I guess. But I don't think there's any shame in being hurt, letting others see that, especially if they care. This is nicely written, very well summed up in these few words. I like the opening lines, they're very interesting.

The tone in this makes it worth the read. favourite line: 'saltwater swirls'
