Sadly, we both know
Everything begins and ends
Right where you begin and end
God only knows the number of nights
I stayed up thinking
Only of you

Right where I begin and end
Our story is written in my bones
Do you know I still dream of you?
Right where we begin and end
I sometimes see the lines blur
God only knows the nights spent thinking
Only of you
If Edgar Allan Poe can write a poem using the letters of his lover's name...so can I.
I am learning how to live
In a new way
Since that day
You were taken away.

I am learning how to live
With the things left unsaid
Knowing I got to say them
With every tear that I shed.

I am learning how to live
By embracing the pain
Knowing that you live on
Through the memories that remain.

I am learning how to live
Knowing I will never again see your face
And I have peace knowing
You’re in a better place.

I had everything I wanted
-- I wanted the wrong things.

Hey, what have we here?
For me? What did you draw?  
A little dream?
That's really nice.

I love the way you have coloured  
In the lines that connect the
Hearts of friends you
Have yet

To make, to your own.
They may still be stick
Figures, but I sure
Get the idea.

Can I really keep this?
I'll put it on my fridge, so I
Can see it every day.
Thank you, sweet little teacher.
I'm so filled with rage
I can barely control it
Sometimes I just want to
Explode from my ice body
I can make myself as cold
As I want but
You can still see the fire
In my eyes
I was once a strong
Knight
Smart even
But
I'm not as sharp
As I once was
My armor grows
Heavy
But I can't bring
Myself to take it off
I may be afraid
But I'm strong
And bounded
By my oath
To protect
My Queen
My Queen has became
Afraid of this monster
I stood my ground
And fought it off
I didn't defeat it
She became
Terrified
My sword
Cracked and chipped
My shield
Scratched and dented
As long as my
Helmet
Was fine she wouldn't
Know that I was
Terrified of this monster
You seek for a king
But all I am is a
Knight
A king no more
I've failed once before
So I made myself
Stronger but gave up
My crown
For my armor
