"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."

- Taylor Swift

Shattered Beautiful Tragic

Today I saw old friends and felt the sun on my skin
I missed these as much as I miss your embrace

We wake in lonely beds in different cities
With the silence of your unspoken goodbyes 
Ringing in my ears 

Took a deep breath
My grandmothers never walked such hallowed halls

And men like you are the reason why

Time is taking its sweet time replacing you
Yesterday I died, tomorrow's bleeding 
You left me shattered
But breaks must break again to heal

And I will begin again
Step into a glorious future
In a world without you

Finding answers is forgetting all the questions we called home 
Passing the graves of the unknown. 

Inspired by Shattered by Trading Yesterday and Sad Beautiful Tragic by Taylor Swift

Wonderful title.

"My grandmothers never walked such hallowed halls

[...]

And men like you are the reason why".

May the sun and the friends sustain you, Lady Solitaire.

And the last two lines are fantastic and original. Especially putting the questions and unknowns where they are in the poem.
