someone told me about his r/s probs today. Everything I said hit the jackpot, it sounded so familiar, I felt like I knew it all. But it brought back all the pain and memories i've tried so hard to repress.

It makes me wonder, do all failed relationships wind up the same way? Why do I feel like history repeats itself over and over again, just that the players change and our roles change.

Do you remember?
No, not the laughter and the smiles,
Nor the love songs and sweet kisses--
The nightmares,
they haunt me.

The words resound,
The scenes replay.

Every sentence,
Every silence.
Every tear (I still hear the cries),
Every fear.
Every sensation (I still feel the pain),
Every doubt.

Will it happen again?
You say it won't,
But you've said that before.
Why should I believe you now?

Just one sentence.
Turn your back, call it quits;
Crush me like a paper doll.
Simple.

Should I take the chance,
Since we're just playing a game of hearts?
