"I don't think that being a strong person is about ignoring your emotions and fighting your feelings. Putting on a brave face doesn't mean you're a brave person. That's why everybody in my life knows everything that I'm going through. I can't hide anything from them. People need to realise that being open isn't the same as being weak."

Katarina

I know what it is, now
To have his interest wax and wane
I know what it is, now
To watch...and wait...and pray...

I know what it is, now
To be sent mixed messages
To have the tables constantly turning, turning, turning.

I know what it is, now
To have words
But nothing to say.
I know what it is, now
To cry with exhaustion;

It is no easy task
Being perfect.

I know what it is, now
To wake up alone,
Go to sleep alone,
To live and die
alonealonealone

I know what it is, now
To love someone so fiercely
Even when
Your love is like
Water poured upon the ground.

I have seen
As you have seen
A plain gold ring
Replaced with six. 

I know what it is, now
To love someone
Even in the very acts of monstrosity

I know what it is, now
To love your own murderer.

I know what it is, now
To lie alone in the cold, cold ground.

But you will always be
Head and shoulders above me. 

Inspired by Plain Gold Ring by Kimbra and, well...I should think it rather obvious.
