Enlistment
Phone goes off Like a gun pointed at my head Dropped keys at my feet Like teeth or pill bottles

Nightmare
They hurt you, and they act like you hurt them.

Pointed (10w)
The first kid was a rat. Oh he was so crude and mean. He said: "Make her eat that!" and pointed to dirt-drenched, ice cream. The second kid was a sucker for shows. He laughed and such a stupid pose. But girls have power too ya know. Girls tend to be smart, and...oh no... She scooped the food, tears down her eyes, bidding her last goodbyes. Up it went, leaving no traces.... Up to the sky! "Wham!" Into their faces. She laughed and ran on full speed. Jumped a bush and climbed a tree. "She's like a squirrel!" The first boy yelled. "Well get up there and push her down!" The second boy was looking high. The girl giggled and mocked "So boys do cry." The second boy ran off, and chickened out. The first boy said," I can get you no doubt!" He hopped and hopped and grasped the first branch, then he swung and swung, but couldn't touch the next. While he struggled so hard the girl, quietly climbed down. He'd never figure, she was on the other side, on the ground. She slowly tipped away and went on, back home. The boys best learn their lessons, and leave this girl alone

Bully me once, shame on you
A wicked woman told my love, **** him and you will be free." My love paused, and the wicked woman's old twig of a finger pointed off to me. Love walked to me with tearful eyes, as if she had no choice. I smiled wryly and told her in the softness of my voice, "Let it be done, and be free. No sword is long enough to show my love for thee. No dagger, short enough to match my heart's beat. So please my love, take your choice of my death. Choose what would be fit." She didn't hesitate, just cry. She, slowly lifting a mirror from the dust. I don't know why I felt I must, but I wiped the tears away just to savor her touch. I looked into her sad blue eyes, just for one more glance. Then I shut my own. I could feel her lift the mirror, this was her chance, let it be known. A crashing blankness came down on me, soon after the last things I heard. "I'm moving up, and you're moving down." These were her last words. I didn't understand them then, but now I think I know. She will one day be in the warm light, while I'm still stuck in the cold indigo. I'd always run up the down escalator, like a crazy kid. She always said, one day I'd trip. And now I finally did.
