A lifetime it was supposed to be,
living a life so special with someone so special.
Promises made to the one and only,
never knowing that love was so fragile.
--
What happens to I love you
when it ends because of lies?
Things end when one is through,
while the inside of the other lays down and cries.
--
Time heals all wounds and bandages our souls,
as we move on into a new sunrise.
We have all at one time been made to look like fools,
walking through life with emptiness behind our eyes.
--
Try again they say,
tomorrow will be better.
With each passing night alone,
your pillows stop getting wetter.
--
A second shot at happiness comes around the bend,
a second great love for the deserving,
that you'll pray will never end.
Love doesn't come, you'll learn, in just one serving.
--
Life is like a buffet, filled with people alone,
lost souls looking for an anchor.
We're all needing someone,
in a desperate sea of rancor.
---
Try and try again, I might,
never to find that one.
Seeing the inevitable end in sight,
I've always known I'll die alone.

We thought it would be a good idea to refresh that thread, and take the opportunity to answer a few common questions about top stories, how challenges are judged and how submissions are reviewed.
