You were like the brightest star I saw at night Your smile was like the sunrise I saw as I woke You moved like the ocean smooth and unstoppable Everytime we met we were like ying and yang Your eyes saw through me like a mirror to my soul You were to me like the air I breathed but yet you were poisonous like the apple of eve Why did you scowl when I smiled at you How could you betray me when all I showed was loyalty All I wanted was to be with you but you didn't want me With your face like a fallen angel so beautiful and decieving All my love you threw away All my kindness you laid to waste Everything I cherished you burnt to a crisp Even from my heart you stole a beat How could you leave me to rot in sorrow You were the reason I yerned for tomorrow My love for you was the death of me But even in my grave I will brave this sea Perhaps one day you will meet with me Until then my love will flow as the ocean breeze

The Killing Love
Allegorique- You were a star that shined brighter as the night darkened Metaphore- A sun amongst moons Metonymie- Your brown skin had won my heart Synecdoque-The power of love Hyperbole- 1000volts ran thgough me as you touched me Pleonasme- This ancient ritual, from long ago Personnification- Your eyes spoke to me and conveyed your intentions Gradation- You were dangerous, so dangerous and threatening Anaphore- Breaker of hearts, breaker of love, breaker of lives, now you've broken me Exclamation- Liar! deviever! Traitor! Anacoluthe-with all my love, you decided to... Hypallage- Your beautiful face was so decieving to the world Antithese- Your mind was with me, but your heart remained elsewhere Comparaison- You poisoned me, like the apple of Eve did Adam Inversion- The death of me was my love for you Question- Why was it me ? Why was it us ?

Killing Love (School project)
'Twas the 3rd of February, in 2000 & 1 When came a lil' girl, comparable to none Her skin was quite blemished, blistered and sore She was treated and treated, then treated no more So different she was, from all of the others She experienced things she should not have discovered This girl had a kindness you couldn't help but adore Yet none understood all the burdens she bore She grew with her family, her brother and mom But this girl sure did struggle, with aid from no one She wept as she slept, and she didn't know why She wept till she saw a bright light in the sky This little girl wished more than ever before That her life would get better and she'd cry no more In the slow days that followed she made a new friend Who promised to help her until the end With his support and encouragement, she persevered No matter what came, she always adhered She endured all the hardships the sadness and pain She helped those she could, for no personal gain But soon came a time when everything changed Her friend disappeared, he had been estranged She took what she learned while they were together And use that she did, to make herself better She took life by the reigns, lived to the fullest each day Accomplished her goals, and kept sadness at bay Her blemishes gone, nevermore an array Her future was bright, none led her astray She pursued a new path and found someone to love Yet she hoped he was watching, this friend from above For the memory remained of that night as a child Of the wish she did make, on the light in the sky The lil' girl's big wish, to no longer be blue This great wish of hers, had finally come true

Everything was over before it started I had left the earth and our hearts had parted I thought that you had left my mind I convinced myself that I was fine It wasn't long before I began to sway And saw that without you there was no day There was no night and nothing to say I knew right then that I couldn't stay I needed you, my milky way.
