I like to read...I love to write.
Dead inside. The eyes have gone dull. The touch has gone cold. The water of the sea streams down the face. The wailing grows louder, yet no one hears. Dead inside. The flame has gone out. The light has been vanquished. The music within the soul is now silent. The joyful dance of the smile is still. Dead inside. Only the shadow keeps company. It presses down. Have not the strength to lift it anymore. Muscles fail from weakness. Dead inside.

Dead Inside
Sometimes you just have to deal With things as they happen, No matter how terrifying. Despite the constant fear. Facing the horror and resisting the fate. Nightmares come even when awake. Sleep is reality and reality is fake. So put up a finger and say "F" it all. Laugh at all those who look appalled Brush your shoulders off. Rub dirt into the wound. Nothing can hurt you unless you allow it to. Face your demon and kick its *** Send it back from which it came. Shout to the world that you will never be tame. Deal with what happens with a strong will. Bow to no one and bend for naught. Because when the end comes at least you can say you fought.

Fighter
You were here and now you're gone. Like the beginning of a sorrowful song. The tears stream down my face like rain. It's just too much to bare this pain. For so long you stayed, through thick and thin. You had my heart in the palm of your hand. You had a grasp on my very soul. Out of nowhere, everything you stole. I dragged myself up, on both feet I now stand. I face the world with new command. My scars shine bright as a memory of that mess. The pain is now only fleeting at best. The shadow of you still passes by me. A haunting ghost refusing to leave me be. I clench my fist and just keep walking. With a strong voice, louder I sing. My song will carry for miles around. Oh so beautiful will be that sound. As I sing of this most difficult climb. Of how there you were, once upon a time.

There You Were, Once Upon A Time
Dream of the stars. Dream of the gods. Dream so your heart, May come to odds. Dream of the sea. Dream of the sky. Dream so there, You may fly. Let your dreams be filled, With peace and love. Let your dreams be filled, With that from above. May you dream of butterflies, Flying on by. May you dream of wings, That take you high. May you dream of flowers, In the wind. May you dream of sunny days, On which you can swim. Dream a sweet dream. One above all. Dream a sweet dream. Into which you can fall. Sweet Dreams

Sweet Dreams
The sun beating down Makes the sweat pour like rain. The snow on the ground Makes the skin freeze to ice. You are there. I am here. We talk and chat across the land. Yet all I want is to hold your hand. To hold you close to my heart. So nothing will again set us apart. One day I'll come home in serenity. Just to hold you for all of eternity. But then there may come a day Where I can't make it back your way. I want you to try and move on Knowing I'm forever yours alone. Before a mission, I write this now. When I'm done I say ado with a bow. I grab my weapon and begin to walk. Hoping above all that again we'll talk. Until next comes that time I'll say goodbye, speechless like a mime.

Dear Love
I'm walking through the trees of an old wood. A stick snaps behind me and I freeze. Slowly I turn to see what is there. Standing tall and proud is a great stag. The stag runs at me as I turn to run. I trip on a branch and fall. As I stand to face the stag, it runs at me. It runs into me and disappears into my body. I realize the stag is me. I was running from myself. But no more will I run. I'm ready to face my demons.

Demons
You hear a voice But no one is there. You feel a chill But it's not from the air. You are told it's nothing But you cannot stop thinking about it. You try as hard as you can But finally you have to admit. It's just whispers in the wind.

Whispers in the Wind
A war is going on. Yet no one notices. There are soldiers everywhere. Here a kid brings a gun to school. There a girl offers her friend a drug. They are soldiers. Here a friend sways the kid with the gun. There the sister brings the friend from the drug. They are soldiers. The war continues. Some see the puppets but not the puppeteer. Some see the wound but not the weapon. A war is going on. And I'll be getting those, Who hear the horn of heaven.

Through an Angel's Eyes
The wind blew and the caves howled. The crashing waterfall was silent and the silent plains screamed. The dead heart beats and the still lungs breathe. Nothing happens in the world that never sleeps. The deer creeps on the grass as the wolf creeps on the deer. The lone ear sits, never will it hear. I stand on the water and the water stands on me. Noisy are the streets of this silent town. A child runs loud in the dead of the air. I turn to go after him but it stands there. The shadow of my enemy frozen in the burning sun. Does he see me while I'm invisible? Does he smell my nonexistent scent? Does he hear my closed mouth? My buddy taps me. The shadow is moving. Its arms raise with something in them. My buddy looks at me with horror filled eyes. I look at the shadow of my enemy and it's gone. The little boy stands there, a rocket on his shoulder. A tear runs down his cheek and he pulls the trigger. I throw myself on my buddy and everything goes red. I stare as my body gets smaller and I'm ascending. My buddy is over me, trying to shake me awake. I don't wake up and everything goes black.

Looking Down
I don't know what the future holds. I don't know what's in store for us. I do know this, My love for you will never change. My thoughts of you will stay the same. My body will always yearn for your touch. My ears never cease listening for your voice. My eyes will forever search for your face. Through the storms of the years. Through the changing of the gears. By the shine of my eye. By the blue of my sky. These things for sure you are. Your hands forever hold my heart. I give it to you only free in part. So go and take it where you please. But please, stay forever here with me.
