a line divides us
on one side stands
stacked all steadily
the things to which
I hold close to heart
morals
ideals
promises
to myself
to others
and I can see you
watching me across the way
a mess around your feet
and fire
climbing to the sky
heat embracing you
just as you like it
chaos calm
to my
sometimes
opposites don’t attract
sometimes they explode
I won’t ask you to freeze in my arms
and you know I’ll never melt in yours
a line divides us
so little
so long

You said you’d die for me
protect me with your life.
I cried.
I begged.
I pleaded.
No!
How could you?
Why would you?
I won’t let you!
My life is nothing without you.
Words you reflected back at me.
Live for me.
Live for me.
You said you’d die for me
But no.
No that could never happen.
No force on Heaven, Hell, or Earth
could take you from me.
I will not let them.
I would not let you.
My life is mine to save.
My chances are mine to take,
and I am no damsel.
You will not leave me behind,
dying in the cold
of your absence.
No.
You told me that you’d die for me.
And so to stop you
I died instead.

How much debt can a father build?
Oh, as much as his daughter's heart can carry.

they always tell you
"reach for the moon -
if you miss,
you'll land among stars."
what they fail to mention is that
the moon needs light from
the sun
to shine.
and the light from the stars
takes billions of years
to reach us;
but first
they must implode.

she was always told to dance
like nobody was watching
for the first few years,
she was too young
to understand what it meant
when she finally understood,
she was too afraid to listen
to the music in her head
when she got over her fear
and took that first step,
a dance began
but nobody cared
she danced
and nobody watched
oh
but e v e r y o n e noticed
when she stopped

They say the day the Earth stood Still;
the Heavens split in two.
And then He walked among the Land -
and then He created You.
But in Dark another lies in wait;
His vengeance soon to be.
Patience is His greatest Power;
His greatest Creation - Me.

How do you accept someone's
Comfort
when the one offering it is the
Cause?

I write these words
upon my Soul-
to free my mind,
and all it holds.

The ground is stained as a reminder
Of the battle that took place here
Rain has washed away the memories
But not drowned away the fear
Guns were fired, lives were lost
Hearts were broken on this land
No life dares ever grow here
As token to those who still stand
The moon never shines it light
On this dreary barren ground
The skies are always cloudy grey
To keep the sadness hanging around
The graves are built to weather the storm
But lonely, no flowers make their beds
With nobody to remember this
There’s no one here to rest their heads

She has the eyes of a hunter:
Feral, wild, full of life.
Eyes that have known victory
and have tasted defeat.
Eyes that have seen life pass
and have been the one to take it.
Eyes that have given life back
when it was not theirs to take.
Eyes that know when to adapt to surroundings
and when to make surroundings adapt to them.
Eyes that have faced fear and danger
with all the courage of a thousand soldiers
and eyes that have turned and fled
at the slightest hint of a storm.
Eyes that know a friend in a stranger
and a stranger in a friend.
Eyes that have cried for many reasons
and have smiled for many more.
She has the eyes of a hunter.
She has the eyes of the prey.
