A painfully realistic story of a love that fell apart.


I walk up the street, the middle of June

And into the door, I'm greeted by you

I smile as I see you, and you pull me in tight

And ask if I'd do you the honor of staying the night.


Nights turned into weeks, and soon weeks into more

Of everyday me walking into your door

And after so long, we looked at the stars

And declared that your house was finally ours.


So month after month, we spent them together

The relationship only getting better and better

Until one night you came home, and I know you weren't sober

I remember so vivid, it was the start of October.


You sat me down on the corner of your bed

And you watched as my face turned from light pale to red.

Because I knew what was coming, so I stared at the floor

"I'm sorry, I just don't love you anymore."


And that very night, I slept on the ground

Stared at the wall, in my own tears I drowned

Got up at 3 a.m. and packed up my stuff,

And left you a note: "I thought I was enough."


The seasons have changed, and now it's December

As I walk up the street and can't help but remember

The feeling you gave me, god, its far too soon

I can't return to this place until the middle of June.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"

The names and dates of the reigns of the first four kings, as well as the alternation of Sabin and Latin names, are more legendary than historical. The last three kings, of Etruscan origin, have an existence which seems less uncertain.

It is evident that all this is only a legend although archeology shows us little by little that these kings if they did not exist as the ancient history, describes them, have at least in the very Outlines were real as chief of a shepherd’s tribe.
