It was 5:00 in the morning

and it was still dark out;

not a sound except the party

that was still going on.



It was a cold January night,

but the alcohol kept her warm.

One hell of a party to

celebrate the drama of it all!



She had come out with another friend

and they parted ways with a quick wave;

she hadn’t gone ten paces

when the door opened once more.



He came out in his muscle shirt.

He must have been cold.

But he drank more than she did

and he smoked a bit too.



He was interrupted by this friend,

who got her shoe stuck in the crack

in the side walk. She hugged him goodbye

and they parted.



She waited for him ten paces away,

wondering, what he would do next?

What was he thinking?

But he came after her



without a word; not a sound!

He just came right up to her

and placed a kiss on her expecting lips

and said, “good night and sweet dreams.”



Then he went back inside.

She dreamt of him all night

only to find out, come morning

he missed his ex girlfriend.

I know you’re no prince,

I know you’re no masked hero;

I know you’re an ***, a ****, a *****

I know, you admitted you were.



I told you, one day,

You would break my heart,

I told you, one day,

You would make me cry.



And yet I hoped you would keep your word -

Oh God those words –

Trust and hope despite all my words;

Despite my deep-down protective words:



You deceived me!



All you said were words,

They meant nothing!

You asked me to believe

And I did,

I asked you to stay

And you left,

And I died – No! Not die

I live.

But it was today, as I was packing my things and talking to my parents, that they asked,"How does it feel to be finished your first of four years of university?" and I said, "It all seemed like yesterday."

I'm sorry you are you and I am me
And we were we
And no longer we
But we are just you and me
But if I were you and you were me
And we were we
Then we would be just you and me
And I wouldn't be me
And you wouldn't be you
And we would just be

Let me tell thee how I love thee,
Not with somber Joy, or fading Passion,
Nor with vile Calm, or dull Awake;
But with heart and soul and reason
With sweet sugared innocence, steeped
In the colorful waters of purity and kindness,
Where friendship reigns and soon thou creep'd
Into my dearest of dreams, unending bliss,
Forever loved and yet forever ignorant.
For my pleasure lives unknown to thee
Forced pleasantness and dejected I be.
All I ask is for you to grant
My freedom from this heavenly curse,
And give a gracious answer to this verse.
