Poetry On Odyssey: I Would Have Given You The World

But now, we are just licking each other's wounds.

I would have given you the world.

what should have been a happy ending

turns out to be a statistical impossibility

this relationship gone with the wind like dust

losing its very existence within us

as if it shouldn't be something worth mentioning

you wore my heart on your sleeve

just like how yours was on mine

you and I were magnetic

the pull between us was undeniable as ever

somewhere along the way

we were both victims of human nature

we lost the race against time

we were just licking each other's wounds

but now I just want you to know that

what we had was a great love

even though it wasn't a right love

and for a fleeting moment in time

I would have given you the world

Blair Waldorf For governor of new york

Cynthia Nixon, a.k.a Miranda from Sex and the City, is running for governor of New York. I think that this would be the best decision that has been made in a while solely based off of the fact that almost no one knows New York like the cast of Sex and the City. This got me thinking about who else would be a good candidate to take over the city of dreams. Then I realized that Blair Waldorf, if she were a real person, would be my number one choice for governor. Here are five reasons why Queen B would be an excellent ruler.
