... the host waylaid!

I knew a woman on the street
Terrified and weary.
She had no place to go
Her prospects were dreary...

I took her in my home,
First checking with my folks.
She had a desire to help me
I knew this was no hoax...

But she had a brother
And his common-law wife
I was talked into helping THEM
The decision caused much strife...

They parked their car behind our house - and they slept inside it
I would have done more
But my folks decide it...

They never stole a thing
He helped in the garden
The ladies helped inside
It was a good bargin...

Until I found the couple
Had a penchant for SPICE.
A designer drug
Its effects far from nice...

I was put out totally
And asked them all to LEAVE
But I've been friends with the sister
And so my spirit grieves!

The lady I had helped out at first
Uses no drugs nor drinks
I have to decide...
... I ask you what you think.

Should i take her BACK?
Allow her to stay?
I'm not sure what to do...

... and continue to PRAY!!!

Sorry I've been gome so long. As you can imagine my plate has been FULL!

I think Melody should be allowed to stay. She has a severe heart condition and a brain disorder. She also has a broken wrist. She also has a small dog which precludes her from many shelters...

... what do you think?
Hey I know a lot of you guys won't care but for those of you that do, I have something to say.
I've been thinking about this for a while and now I've made my choice.  I'm taking a break from writing for a while. For no reason other than cause i feel like my heart isn't really in it anymore,  I'm sick of the cheesy tacky poems and songs I've been writing,  so yeah... I really want to make a difference with my writing and that's not gonna happen right now.
I need to take some time to rediscover my inspiration, my passion, and my definition of love. And yes I know I have promised many people I'd write for them, but truth is I just can't handle it all right now.

So go on put your party hats on and start the celebrations, cause for a while you won't see me posting anything ("quit forever" you say, well no, I just need time to think and rediscover all that stuff I mentioned before)
I'll catch you later, message me sometime or whatever, "Call Me Maybe".

From Me, Him and Her.
To my misunderstood fans and my Dark Alliance of Magikarp

Never Empty

Do you hear that?
It's the sound of thoughts, leaking out of my head.
I want to tell you everything, but I've run out of ink
And time
A single bomb can only do so much damage
I wish you could just see inside my head-
It's never empty,
Almost always filled with you
Please comment :)

It's like I'm on the dark side of the moon when you're not around.
It's dark and cold
Except then my imagination kicks in and there's pools of lava everywhere and it looks like they're from Minecraft
See,
You keep me centered. You are the light of my life
But sometimes I'm afraid to talk to you because generally, light sources are hot and I'm afraid of being burned
I love you with complete comittment and I haven't done that before
See,
I can't quite figure out how I ever lived without you in the first place
Actually, I can,
I took in oxygen and performed cellular respiration.
See,
I've been living on the dark side of the moon,
Where my imagination constisted of nightmares,
My daydreams were math and science
And I've never really felt anything other than terror and cold and dark
I love you because you showed me what light was,
You pulled me across the line I didn't know was there
And you showed me how to breathe again
Like showing a little girl a rose or a hummingbird for the first time
Now,
I'm still afraid I'm going to ***** something up,
And fall back into the dark
Because you are the first person that has not given up on me-
I've never left the shadows
I always wait patiently next to the line for you to come back before I cross it,
Like my dog waits for me to get home by the door.
I think of all of those people who left without me, one way or another
Then I think back to you and all the days you were there when I woke up
I love you because it is the hardest thing that I can't figure out how to stop doing
I love you because I'm not afraid of the sound of your footsteps
Or your voice, calling my name
I love you because you are familiar to me
And I'm not quite as scared anymore
Please comment :) I thought very hard about this and I actually like the way it came out so I hope you did, too!

We don't have time to slow down,
Only to speed up
We're already dragging our tails and falling behind
We don't have time to stop
Only to charge
To rush the enemy
There's no time left to kiss goodbye

So just drag me away
Hold my hand and let go slowly
Draw out the singular second we have left and then run in opposite directions

We don't have time for a lengthy good-bye
We don't have time to unlock doors so just break them down
My biggest fear is that they say we haven't tried
Hearing someone say we backed down
We don't have time to give this anything less than everything
There's no time left to give up

So just drag me away
Hold my hand and let go slowly
Draw out the singular second we have left and then run in opposite directions

This is your chance to stop the clock:
We'll meet in the middle,
Flank to the left
Can you imagine breaking down their walls?
Charge center
Synchronize our footsteps and make sure they never saw us coming
We don't have time to slow down

So just drag me away
Hold my hand and let go slowly
Draw out the singular second when time slowed down
Forget the explosions and crumbling stone-

Hold my hand and let go slowly.
Remember forgetting-
We don't have time to forget
Remember all of the times we backed down
Think that that's all over
We have a fighting chance just,

Remember the fireworks
Remember the sparks we can't see with the lights on
Remember that there are other colors being absorbed by the air
Remember that that's everything standing between me and you
-and the enemy
Remember who the real enemy is

Just drag me away
Hold my hand and let go slowly
Draw out the singular second we have left and then run in opposite directions

We don't have time to hold our hearts or fight ourselves anymore
Take aim, Soldier.
Don't wait for the sparkle in her eyes
Run away with her!

Just drag me away
Hold my hand and let go slowly
Draw out the singular second we have left and then run in opposite directions

Grab my wrist so I can grab your's
I've heard it's stronger like that
We don't have time to let go
Who the hell turned the hour glass over? * I wasn't ready*
All of the time we lost turning around in slow motion, still,
We missed each other.

So drag me away
Hold my had and let go slowly
Draw out the singular second we have left and then run in opposite directions
I don't need to watch you go again

We don't have time to fix the broken,
They don't want bandaids on their hearts, they want stitches
And we're out of thread
I couldn't hold her hand when she died, I didn't know she was dying
But you can hold mine now or you can try,
But we don't have time to fall out of step
And we sure as hell don't have time to grip at nothing so find the **** ledge!
Everything right now counts, but you are the only thing that matters

So drag me away
Hold my hand and let go slowly
Draw out the singular second we have left and then run in opposite directions

We don't have time to watch the world burn when it isn't on fire
We don't have to fail so close to winning.

Time in on our side and so are all the fireworks,
The crumbling stone,
The colors bouncing around in the air and missing our eyes
I don't know what the answer is but I know that it looks pretty when we clasp our hands together in front of the falling empire
We have time now,
Because they fell first
My biggest fear is that they say we haven't tried
Our tired hands numb in the loosened grip of each others'

So drag me away.
Grab my hand and let go slowly,
Hesitate on the ends of my fingertips,
Draw out the singular second we have left and then never let go.

The Maze

I don't feel stuck.
I feel like there's a way out, I just haven't found it yet
Somewhere in this whole mess,
I broke my smile
My hair got caught on a branch and cut so I can't braid it anymore
The part of this maze that was supposed to be shaded is on fire,
I can still see it if I look back
And I have nightmares about lighting it and pouring gasoline
The trees are too tall to climb
And they turned off the light at the end of the tunnel
It's there, but I'm not going to see it
Sort of like nitrogen in the air
I feel it though
I feel it like the heartbeat in my feet, hitting the ground in steady rhythm,
Running because I know I could be wrong
And the next dead end could get me to crack,
God knows my skin already has
I'm holding my heart in my hands as a last resort
I wonder if the fire's catching up.

You make me feel safe.
I can fall asleep when I'm talking to you because I feel like there is a reason to wake up
I feel like there's a chance I won't have nightmares.
No matter what you say it's a lullaby
So I am a little girl and you are my big brother,
My guardian,
The blanket that keeps me from shivering at night
You are like turning off the light that seeps under my door so that I can't see shadows,
You are like telling me you locked the door fifteen times so I don't have to
You are like checking for spiders and finding out there aren't any
Like shut blinds and soft-glowing green alarm clocks
You probably can't imagine how alone I am because I am completely terrible at needing people but I need you
I need the door locked fifteen times,
I need blankets and reassurance
And total darkness except for soft green glows
I need to know you'll be there if I wake up screaming because I already know that no one else will.

I'll probably be asleep when you get this, when you wake up**
I'll probably be starting class when you get out
I'll probably be at lunch while your at dinner
You'll probably be asleep when I am,
Getting ready for bed when I get out of class

I forget that sometimes.
The tight grip we're wishing for,
Someone who holds your wrist a little too tight because they can't let you go
I can't let you go
But I also can't let go of the sound of sirens
Both physical and unreal
The sound of loss, same as an airplane
Same as a fast car
Same as slipping out of your grip, or you slipping out of mine
The same painful loneliness,
Irreparable, illogical, out of control
I never see the ambulances but I know there are people riding in them with a story I won't get to hear
I want to be part of your story and I want everyone to hear it
I don't want it lost in the sound of turbines
I don't want to forget it in the sound of time, which isn't the sound of a clock ticking
It's the sound of footsteps trying to catch up with airplanes or firetrucks,
Or trying to figure out how to move in that moment you were gone
(I kept watching the door, as if you would come back)
Please: Always remember that I love you, Sweetie.
