  2. there is nothing greater to me then a life and friendship that is untarnished by hate of jealousy. that is why i will always refer to life as the greatest gift, and everything involved in it is just one more reason why they call it the present.

  3. Brushing the dirt from her suit and tossing her hair, Susana lifter her held high and marched down the expansive stairs in front of the building. Her body was hard, filled with righteous anger.

  4. dreams are often tarnished by reality. there’s no getting what you want anymore just by having the skills. it seems you always have to have money or connections. when you wake up and realize that your dreams will be tarnished by someone with more money or connections than you, it just doesn’t seem fair. i don’t know much about the word tarnished.

  5. The kettle was tarnished but not that old. She thought it had been hidden there for maybe only a couple of years. There was something inside, something crackley. She pulled out the bundle of… hundred dollar notes – a whole roll of them!

  7. My plans for life. I had goals and ambitions that now seem to be in ruins. Travel, see the world, be myself. Now it’s all mixed up. My understanding of who I wanted to be is now upside down. I woke up in South America and realized that this was never who I wanted to be. That’s it.

  18. Worn. Torn. Beaten and tattered. Being physically accosted by my girlfriend’s ex-boyfriend two nights a week did not leave my love for her any more tarnished than it originally stood. In fact, my resolve to be with her was that much stronger that I began taking martial arts classes.

  19. I had a halo once, but it fell into the mud. It is tarnished sure as anything could be. I noticed, however, after I looked in the mirror I was the same person I had been before the halo fell into the mud…perhaps that Halo s never really all that shiny to begin with, or maybe, I was never all that messed up.

  21. It’s time, is all, working away at what was once brilliant. Like all things, we are turned over by time and tarnished. Beauty fades. Things that were once sure, are no longer. If we are not improving, if we think we are maintaining and standing in place, we are wrong.We are always moving one way, or the other.

  22. love

  24. there’s nothing more lonely
    than a heart
    that’s lost its luster.

    tarnished
    from your cruel words.

  28. She stared down at her tarnished dress. Her mother was going to kill her if she saw this. Quickly, Whitney took off her dress and hid it in the farthest corner of her closet. A purple dress quickly replaced the last one and she left the room quickly so her mother would not notice her absence at the party. That would be un-ladylike.

  31. I once saw a tarnished penny in the road. I picked it up though a single penny isn’t worth much. I pocketed it and took it home. There I set it in a small jar where I keep the coins I find. By itself, that one penny wasn’t worth much. But among his brothers, he was priceless.

  32. You said you loved me. You said your heart only had room for me. You told me that we’d grow old together.

    You lied.

    I found you, with her. You didn’t see me, but I saw everything. I saw the way you held her and whispered in her ear. You’re a no good, dirty cheater and I hope you know that our trust is forever tarnished.

    She can have you.

    “As if I give a fuck. Your reputation smells like a pig’s ass.” “It

    count on that.”

  34. You hold me like old memory I’ve become

    My tarnished soul

    Maybe in time.
