What to do, what to do. I'm so lost and found.
She says she loves me, even though she forced herself to love me after breaking my heart. She wonders why I don't feel the same about her. I'm trying, trying so hard to reciprocate the right feelings, but it's just not working.
Of course I went and made it even harder to force these feelings by starting to think, and see K. First of all, why should I have to force feelings of love? Love should be there, it should just come naturally. Sure I love her, but not the same way that I used to. I just don't know what to do anymore.
I need to let her go. But I don't know how. If I do, she'll move out, I don't know how she'll manage without me. I'm sure she will, but it will be hard, and I don't want anything to be difficult, especially with her being pregnant and all. But I can't feel the same way about her anymore. I just don't have it in me.

She comes in colors
Sure, this title has been stolen. I heard it from my favorite band: Nevermore. Though I can't say that I am their, "NUMBER ONE FAN!!!!!" I can say that they have been the biggest influence on my life, especially within the past six months. I have found that I can relate to almost every song, even if I've interpreted it completely wrong.
But that's the wonderful thing about music right? It's art, and open to interpretation. Warrel Dane, the lead vocalist for Nevermore is, in my own opinion, the greatest artist of lyrics. Every song tells a story, and again, even if I don't fully understand each story, I have an experience that seems to fit into my own picture of each song.
One particular song off of their new album, "And The Maiden Spoke," has become my new obsession as of late. From what I can comprehend, it is a 17th century tragedy about a female (I picture a younger girl, no more than 10 years old) who either went crazy and died, or may have been possessed and dragged to her death. Either way, she ends up '(speaking) to those unawake' which, in my mind, sounds almost like Dane is telling a more personal story about a spirit that he has encountered. I may be completely wrong, and he could just be telling a genius horror story, but I like my own theory better.
Listening to other songs on the album, I have found many similar themes, or even repeated lyrics, which makes me feel like he could have been inspired by this spirit. Looking back on past albums as well, I can find a few lyrics that seem to have carried on this theme for a few years now. Maybe it's just because I'm looking for it that I'm finding similarities when really they aren't there. I still prefer my theory though. It almost makes me feel like I am connected to Warrel Dane. But that's probably some sort of crazy wishful thinking.
In conclusion, listen to, "And The Maiden Spoke," and concoct your own opinions and theories. Even if you don't make up your own story, it is still worth the listen!

Just testing the waters
So, the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. I think that's just about every letter to test out. Blah blah rant blah. Here we go.
