A Dirty Thirty, For The Lies I May Have Told Myself (30/30)

Another entry taken down earlier than published. No time to get into the inspirations. I hope the title of this article, and the piece itself, are explanatory enough.  

2/30:

If your heart is ever broken, write something beautiful/
everyday until it is over/
Write bright holes in your dark situation/
 until it feels like you are staring at the stars/
Exhale at every piece made, and give each one the breathe of life/
Pray to the sky, like it is made of ears and emotions/
 Like one of these nights, your glistening sky will breath back at you and tell you how your bright days are going to happen/
Pray until you see almanacs in your albums/
 Pray until that voice in the back of your mind no longer tells you that you should care/
 He doesn't care/
Neither does she/
Why do you?/
 Why aren't you writing?/
 How did you forget that friends are fickle, business interests are separate, and that your heart is best left alone?/
Your nights are dark because you gave your universe to someone who has yet to appreciate the backyard you've introduced them to/
And have yet to replenish your own set of stars in your sky/
Stop sitting up in the dark, if you're not going to be writing/
Stop facing the ugly, if you aren't going to create something beautiful/
Don't kill yourself, Theon/
You're killing yourself, like this/
You need love/
And the only love that works for real, is the love that has to come from you/
You don't have to go to sleep if you don't want to/
Sit up under the stars/
Make love to yourself/
Laugh at your own jokes/
And make fun of the people who aren't quick enough to catch the punchlines/
You need you, Theon/
I need you/
Don't ever/ 
Give up on me/
