I would like to say He had me at hello But he never actually said that He spoke to me For the first time As though we had been friends for ages There was not a second Where I feared his newness As I had with all my other friends He spoke to me for a few minutes Before the bell rang And I was sad to see him go Yet there he was In my French class And so we had more time to grow closer I knew him for a few months Before I realized rather suddenly I liked him more than I liked any other I knew him for a year Before I told him about these feelings And I was let down gently as possible I have known him for two years And I would not change a single thing About our Moirallegiance I do not call it a friendship Because it isn't one Moirallegiance means more than that He keeps me grounded He keeps my emotions in check Even now when he is so far away He says the wrong thing sometimes He never asks how I am After I ask how he's doing But that's okay with me Because I know when I need him He’ll be right there

We Met By Chance
Wouldn't it be funny If it were the Angels who were evil And it were the Demons who were good? What if God snapped The Angels becoming a heavenly army of Light And his word made the Demons seem the wrongdoers? What if Lucifer wished for things To become again as they once were Beyond the Pearly Gates; And his Demons were the ones Who guarded humanity In spite of the Angelic opposition? Call me a heretic But what if we have had it backwards All along?

Blasphemer
The lyrics float through the air A song I have heard many times before An impaled heart on the album cover Warning of the pain They will convey through their lyrics Lyrics that at times may as well have been taken From the deepest recesses of my head and heart A song in which the narrator Finds the one who gives them Everything they asked for in life I found not one, but two Two men like that in my life Who both refused my affections And whom I hold little to no animosity toward Though when I think of it They're rather different This first one, we will code him Belase Is so unabashedly in love with the 'nerdy' things Things he helped me get into as well Without him I would not have found a love for the zombie shows Or for the older classic movies which he adores Without him I would not have found the raggedy man Who takes me on adventures through time and space The raggedy man who in turn helped me find The medieval sorcerer in Camelot And the modern-day crime-solving machine With a doctor of his own When I was upset I went to him He helped everything almost immediately When I told him of my feelings he let me down gently Too gently, perhaps, as I retain some sliver of hope Knowing that that hope should have died by now He made many jokes which lightened my mood Though sometimes they were mistimed And only made me irrationally angrier toward him Not the source of my first wave of sadness or anger But I always forgave him and talked of nerdy things His love of the nerdy things hides much of himself Though it does speak volumes about what he is willing to convey He hides his slightly skewed views behind these things He hides his ********** He hides his want of being in charge His way with words like a serpents' venom through my veins Makes me agree with what he says Even if in my heart I know it to be against my own views And it terrifies me The second, we will code Silas The first day we met, was in school He was alumni come to visit We spoke very little as I was shy And in truth I had forgotten him entirely What is the point of remembering Someone you only meet once? When he left I thought I would never see him again But our mutual friend, coded May, held a sleep-over Long, long after that first day This first real night, as I call it He held me in his arms as those still up Wound down to sleep At about four in the morning And we slept very little, in the two hours before the others became active once more As summer was almost upon us The remaining high-school students, that is I knew at the end he would be back in his second year of college And I would be in my last year of high school I told him a bit of how I felt And he said no, he didn't want the emotional attachment Of being my first kiss, or first anything as he puts it Doesn't want emotional attachment, ha! If he didn't want emotional attachment Why did he continue to hold and cuddle me Why did he take things further and practically taunt me By holding himself over me and brushing his face across mine All the times we almost kissed... Though he and everyone who knows him Says he does this with anyone who is willing So there we have it The fluffy serpent with the innocent face And the man with the visage of a teddy bear Both have taken over my heart And even if I could decide Which one I want more Neither of them want me And perhaps that is for the best A girl who never leaves the house A girl who had no friends until seventh grade A girl Belase has known for three years A girl Silas has known for a few scant months Who would ever want Little Broken Me?

We are never free of our Demons We learn to ignore them We learn to drown them out We learn to live with them Or we get drowned by them And don't live at all Our Demons only want one thing They want to see you squirm They want to see you give up They want to see you fail But you must not There comes a time you must face them When you face them It seems like you against an army It seems like you against the world It seems like you against yourself Because you are fighting yourself You are your own fiercest Arch-Demon After you accept this You can finally conquer yourself You can finally conquer the Demons that come from without You can finally conquer even the world itself And make it tremble Before your awesome might But be forewarned These Demons are powerful These Demons are smart These Demons are adaptable They are all of these things Because you are all of these things
