    The air was cool, dark, and refreshing. She sat in quiet contemplation as the breeze pushed her hair from her face like a gentle lover’s touch, kissing her skin with such a tenderness she had never known from any physical person. Softly, the rainwater patted the ground as it spilled from the gutter pipes, a soothing beat to the crickets’ song. Breathing deeply, taking in the scent of newly cleansed air, she couldn’t help but smile. Eyes closed, she let herself drift away from unmade decisions, unsolved problems, un-faced dilemmas that haunted her world every day.    The crickets serenaded her from their hiding places,

    How often I am mocked by nightmares,  so often I'm rocked to sleep by a demented lullaby filled with wailing and pleading. So many lonely nights I hear those whom I love crying out to me for help as they are brutally murdered. I can do nothing; I am helpless. The feeling of desperation to save them swells inside of me, but there is nothing I can do.    The hooded figure, Death, whips my family and friends brutally with something like a Cat O'Nine Tails. There are sharp razors at the end of each cord and he cleaves skin from bone with every swing, evicting another blood-curdling scream from my mother, brother, friend. I look around at the

I have fought so many battles, And I will fight for you again, I will do my best to keep you From suffering ceaseless pain. To live is to die, To die is to live. I would give it all for you both, If it meant you two together to live. Enjoy what you have, Your feelings so strong, Always know someone out there Wants to sing your song. A ballad of love, A poem in song, 'Twill keep you together, Keep you both strong. So fight for each other, Never give in To those who envy you most; Such a crime, such a sin. Cherish each other, Never let go, No matter how much those who envy you most May tell you it is better like so. Never min

I had the chance, I let it slip by; The chance to end my life With suicide. Judging by tonight alone, Into the Unknown, My life I should have thrown. I need to look past all this, Try to find a way Into that "No More Suffering" day. I cry for help, no one hears. I'm left alone, Shedding silent tears. A burden to everyone I find myself to be, My worthless comments And stupidity. End it now, so there's no more pain. Save me, please, from this dreadful rain! This world no longer at my disposal, I'll dispose of myself, let it be over. My sweet suicide, welcome me home. With you, I'll never find myself Alone.

   One significant glance is all it takes to tear down one wall and build another. I saw how you looked at each other today. I saw how you gazed at her with such love, such passion, I almost burst into tears. You used to look at me that way. Don't you remember that? I wish it could be that way again... no wait, if you'd rather hold her, love her, be with her, please don't let me stand in your way...   One significant glance is all it takes to sever whatever connection we had left. The first hit was bad enough, it greatly lessened our connection to each other, but this has ruined me. In all truth, I can say that I love you, but I find as time

Vanished Heroes, Frightened Heroes. Where are they now? Where did they go? That's alright, No one knows. Empty Heroes, Hollow Heroes. Now so far, Once so close. Will they come back To save our souls? No one cares; No one knows. Weakened Heroes, Frail Heroes. Heroes afraid to save, Afraid to face their foes. Will they fight, Or will they run? It doesn't matter; No one knows. Vanished Heroes, Frightened Heroes. Where are they now? Where did they go? That's alright, No one knows.

     I have been blessed with a curse. Or have I been cursed with a gift? I stopped trying to figure out which was which a long time ago.     Not many people can say that they love others as deeply and as passionately as I do. When I meet someone, get to know them, I care about that person, cherishing them oftentimes more than I should. I have a great capacity to love, which is wonderful, but it's also my biggest downfall, my worst flaw. Why? Because if I lose someone, if I hurt them, it breaks me. Not a simple crack, or pieces big enough to repair, but pieces too small and too numerous o fix. I don't know what my problem is, all I know is t
