I'm not afraid of the dark
I'm not afraid of the demons that hide from me
I'm just afraid of that spark
That lights up when you're here, that lights up inside of me.

I'm not afraid of spiders
I'm not afraid of what's crawling in the night
I'm just a lover, not a fighter
And I'm just afraid of the fight.
I think I wrote a poem exactly like this before.
This will be part II

Love is not a story it's a song.
You put it on repeat and play it all night long.
Love is not a fairy tale, not prose
Love's a melody and this is how it goes.

*I love you

Ha.
The sound of broken laughter
Of broken little hearts
The sound of sadly ever after
When worlds fall apart
Ha.
The sound of cynical souls
That only want an out
The sound of laughing trolls
An deflated spirits of doubt
Ha.
The sound of cold sarcasm
That hurts but makes you laugh
The echoes of the chasm
Into which you fall and crack
Ha.
They weren't really laughing
The happiness was fake
The hammers, violently smashing.
Hurt. Afraid. They Ache.
It wasn't funny

I miss you when you're gone
I miss you when you're here
Because I know that you're leaving soon

I miss you in the light
I miss you when it's dark
I miss you like the low tides miss the moon

I miss you when you're far
I miss you when you're not
Even when you're close...

I miss you like a ghoul misses her sense of touch
And when I am alone
I miss you most
In loving memory of Ferry Princess the fictional ferret

A feather in a hat
A style and a flair.
I am not special
I am just... there.

Finding myself
Finding my way
Don't know who I am
Just living for the day

I don't have a panache
I don't have a trait.
I'm finding myself
I'm finding my way.
NaPoWriMo day 4

Frozen, flaky, fragments
Of forward flashing time
Stellar stars are stupefied
When you beg them to align

For angry angels answer
And angry angels weep
Scribbled constellations
Will sing your soul to sleep
Alliteration what

She was afraid
But aren't we all
Afraid that we'll drown
afraid that we'll fall

She was alone
Her, her, and her
In a room that was silent
Where nothing would stir

She was a fool
Dumb and naive
A silly little girl
With her heart on her sleeve

She was a dreamer
You're ****** if you're not
Hope keeps you fighting
...or that's what she thought
