I met this girl,
A few weeks ago.
She's pretty and smart,
And she loves the snow.

Her smile like gold,
Her laugh like a dream.
You get lost in her eyes,
For hours it seems.

I wish I could tell her,
How how much I care.
She means the world to me,
And that I swear.

Captured by love,
Overwhelmed with passion.
My heart beats fast,
In a drum like fashion.

There is no solution,
I cannot win.
A moral battle,
A battle within.

Who do I choose,
Who's right for me.
There both so perfect,
Can't you see?

I feel so horrid,
Being in this position.
I wish I could fight,
Fight a war of attrition.

But there is no time,
For I must know.
Who will I keep,
And who will go.

I lie here alone,
My mind working fast,
But my body is still frozen and cold.
I'm iced up inside,
My joints frozen stiff,
I'm really not feeling to bold.

I think of fun things,
Things I could do.
Ideas and thoughts galore.
But I never do them,
I never try,
I rarely step out the door.

I'm trapped inside,
My house a prison,
My room the cell where I stay.
My sentence a month,
Maybe even a year,
I just sit and think all day.

Starry night,
Oh spacious skies.
Your wondrous beauty,
Glints of my eyes.

I look at you,
With wonder and awe.
I love clear skies,
And I hate the fog.

I stay up late,
To see you shine.
You're always worth it,
Every time.

I wait all day,
For the darkness to come.
I sit outside,
I watch the sun.
I wait for the stars,
I wait for my fun.
I cannot wait,
For the darkness to come.

I wait all day,
For the darkness to come.
I sit outside,
I watch the clock,
Time slowly ticks on,
Tick tock, tick tock.
I cannot wait,
For the darkness to come.

It's almost time,
The darkness is near.
I wait and watch,
The sun disappears.
The sky's ablaze,
Like fire it sneers.
I can wait no long,
Please darkness come here!

Finally it's here,
The darkness is here!
The stars come out to play,
With the moon,
And his friends the planets.
Oh how I wish they could stay!
Darkness don't go,
Please don't go away.

But in good time,
They'll have to leave,
And I'll need wait once more.
I'll have to wait all day,
For the time I truly adore.
I'll wait all day for the darkness,
And after that,
I'll wait some more.

I am a nation,
At war with the world,
I fight not with weapons or men.
But with letters and words,
I spit forth in ink,
With my trusty paper and pen.

My pen strokes like bullets,
Streak across the page.
My words like bomb shells,
Explode in sheer rage.

They make craters of hate,
Piles of rubble and dust.
But they never hurt anyone,
For I never share them,
Not even with those I trust.

It's a secret I keep,
Buried deep inside.
A secret of war,
I will always hide.
This war rages on,  
Inside my soul.
I am a nation,
And I cannot be consoled.
