All Their Words

Read the first letter of every word

_______________

They say

Real love only comes around once

Every lifetime

And that you and I are

Too young to know what that means,

Only pretend in a form of "teenage rebellion".

They say

Haters gonna hate,

Even though they themselves

Relish in our pain, our misery as we

Struggle and they push us farther down.

They say

Home is where the heart is, that

Even when you travel you

Will always remember,

Always cherish

Your childhood,

Your past.

Only,

Until I met you

Wishing for the future was all

I had.

Sticks and stones break bones, words break

Hearts.

They say

Once upon a time, that

Beauty was

Everywhere; not anymore.

They say

Real love only comes around once

Every lifetime

And that you and I are

Too young to know what that means.

Everyone. Give a round of applause. They

Did it. They took you away.
