They say "what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger."
i disagree.

Heartbreak can't kill you,
but it can make you kill yourself.

What doesn't kill you,
only beats you down
and constently eats at your soul until you can't bear the pain any longer. and everything you knew is nothing more than a lonely balck rose on your grave.

i don't see how that makes you stronger.
You tell me.
