Trace the shadow of a bird before it flies away,
And learn that every moment passes, learn to seize the day.
Trace the shadow of yourself and stay forever still,
But you'll learn you won't get very far, I guarantee you will.
You will learn that you won't go far if you don't start walking.

oh me oh my
They ask me if I still love you.

I blush, grin and say;

of course.

Why?

Because your eyes are of the most utter ocean blue,

but other days they're the currents of the stormy grey sea.

I see a current of salty water, deep, once blue, but now a faded grey.

I see a bundle of darkened grey clouds in the distance,

and the thunder rumbles from your irises,

and I hear it pound in the back of my mind.

I wonder if you knew.

I see a spark of lightening flash, only once in a while,

while you look at her.

My throat corrodes with bile.


She says she sees green demons lurking in the depth of my own ocean currents,

and I shrug.

What am I supposed to say?

I know you think about her.

Night and day.


The hardest part,

is a generic, old saying.

If you love them,

you let them go.

If they love you enough to stay,

or to come back,

you never let go.





But you haven't come back.
EDIT: Wow. Never expected this to blow up as big as it did. I thank you all so much!
EDIT: 2/15/14
i would say i never loved you, but that is a lie.
they say that your *first* love makes *you realize*, your first *love* wasnt really your first.
i pray for the day this happens.
*getting over you was the best thing i ever did.
and i did it for myself.*
so, one last:
*******.
you.***
EDIT: 9/14/14
i still hate you.
and you don't deserve her.
EDIT:   12/01/14
im sorry. you still arent
the same person
and neither is she.
but we all grow up.

I was going through my bookmarks
on my old computer and found my old writings.
I just wanted to update this one last time to say things are better,
things are good. Thanks again for all the likes and comments.
Where do the willows weep?
Where wars are fought and corpses sleep,
Where time is stopped and love is fleeting,
And all the blessed take the beatings.

Where do the willows weep?
Where the wicked rest on council seat,
Where infants wail unconsoled,
With no one to love,
To have and to hold.

Tell me where the willows weep!
Where justice crawls and corruption leaps,
Where righteous men live in the streets,
Is THIS the place where willows weep?!

Is THIS the place where willows cry?!
Where only evil can satisfy,
Where wings are clipped and none can fly?
All "truths" are started with a lie
A lie that penetrates so deep,
It haunts the cities in late night sleep,
Into the children's dreams it shall seep.
Yes, this is where the willows weep.

I knew you were trouble when you walked
In
My head I was thinking to stay away from
You
Captured my attentions though, worked your
Magic
From the strongest magi couldn't free me
Now
Even my faerie ways are
Powerless
Is what you make me in your
Presence,
Poise, appearance, yours is one of
Wonder
Too, is all I can do about
This
Situation, you, me, our friends, it's all so
Surreal
Is not even a good word to
"Describe
Him," I was
Told
Her, "amazing, incredible,
Sad"
Emotion fills his eyes, hidden behind a wash of happy
Sparks
Fly in my heart and
Mind
You, you are also my best
Friend,
Whether we remain as we are, or become
More
I cannot ask of you, and can't thank you enough
Already
You have stolen my heart, but you don't even
Know
This if nothing
Else
I cannot survive longer with this
Secret
Of mine is this; I love
You
I have loved for weeks and weeks, but do you know?

Q
I took in a deep breath
and closed my eyes.
I let it all out
then my eyes opened.
I wanted to tell you my secret
but you were gone.

Tears came to my eyes
and I looked at the ground
then I whispered to myself
"I love you
and I thought you loved me,
but I guess I was wrong."

I never heard from you
ever again but
sometimes I saw you
with your friends.
I never stopped loving you
but you did.

In the end
I didn't really care --
I didn't want you anymore.
I'll just find someone else
like you do.
But I will always love you.

After awhile,
you said you loved me too
so we were together.
But it wasn't too long
until I was the one
who ran away.

I know that you love me
and I love you too.
But you aren't
the one for me.
And I'm definitely
not the one for you.

I know that
in the end,
it was like the beginning,
but I ran away from you
and left you with
words still on your lips.

I wish I was,
but honestly,
I'm not.
I wanted to be happy.
I'm not sorry
that I left you.

I did this for me
not for you.
I used to be sorry
that I left you,
that I made you sad.
But I'm not sorry anymore.
