#xmen - Hello Poetry

This castle of clay is all that remains Of my empire of sand and glass I can't explain this unwavering pain Since you went away My hands hurt. The constant migraine of your lost face Is with me to this day My hands hurt. They keep me awake I cannot take a moment's rest I must remain, to defend. Here I stand, in the sand Against the rain Against the pain you have left My castle of clay is all that remains And I will try to save it to my last breath My hands hurt. In the end All that you spent Was the love that I freely gave Surrounded by the dead I am spent Like the soldiers you did not send Save me now, Don't let me drown here in the rain. My hands hurt. The scars you left Have never changed It's still an open wound Standing here defending my land Protecting my empire of dirt. Defending my castles of sand and glass. Still here rebuilding my empire of dirt. Until the day (Oh, that blessed day!) Until the day that my hands Will no longer Hurt.

Empire of Dirt/My Hands Hurt

This castle of clay is all that remains Of my empire of sand and glass I can't explain this unwavering pain Since you went away My hands hurt. The constant migraine of your lost face Is with me to this day My hands hurt. They keep me awake I cannot take a moment's rest I must remain, to defend. Here I stand, in the sand Against the rain Against the pain you have left My castle of clay is all that remains And I will try to save it to my last breath My hands hurt. In the end All that you spent Was the love that I freely gave Surrounded by the dead I am spent Like the soldiers you did not send Save me now, Don't let me drown here in the rain. My hands hurt. The scars you left Have never changed It's still an open wound Standing here defending my land Protecting my empire of dirt. Defending my castles of sand and glass. Still here rebuilding my empire of dirt. Until the day (Oh, that blessed day!) Until the day that my hands Will no longer Hurt.

Dear Charles, I am writing this to tell you one thing and one thing only: A war is about to begin soon, and once it has, both you and I know that only one side can win. This means that the losing side loses everything. Unfortunately for you, I do not share your faith in humanity. And I absolutely have no pity for them. They are a bunch of idiots who fear what they do not understand and try to get rid of it before figuring out what they are actually dealing with. Humans see us as a disease, Charles. They fear us because we have far more potential than them and that we are above them in terms of power. Believe me, I didn't want to fight against humanity either, but I am not able to just sit and watch while another fellow mutant die because of them. We are initially not a threat, but now they have turned us into one. And we are certainly not experimental subjects, but they have turned us into those too. From the moment I noticed these signs around me I knew I had to save myself before it's my turn, even if it means eradicating everyone else. I do not wish to do this, Charles, but one day you will learn that some matters can only be solved using the hard way. As much as you hate to admit it, diplomacy is not able to smooth everything out. I am sure that your friend Hank knows this well more than we do. I am not the enemy here, Charles. I am only trying to save myself and also my own kind. Our own kind. I have left with several of our fellow mutants. You might be able to track them down with Cerebro but not me. However, just in case you do, please don't bother coming for me. I have set my mind and you know that the only way to change it is for you to get into my mind and take over it, which you won't. I will be carrying out plans you will certainly disapprove of. But then again, Charles, we are two very different people. As far as I can remember, we have never agreed on a single thing before, which surprises me that we even became acquaintances in the first place. I hope I will never see you again, Charles. But if we do, I hope we will be fighting alongside each other, not standing on opposite sides of the battlefield. Take care of Raven for me. I trust you better at handling her than I do. Your old friend, Erik

squelched between bodies spiralling into escalators, my trained eye couldn't help hovering a little left right there, coming into view at the watch store, though never caught dead anywhere near M·A·C but neither should my stares, blatant without restraint, fixed on a trio chattering like keys jangling to the beat of a million other stolen glances, only for them to slip away for some froyo. rather than melt into a fruity confection myself, I steel my eyes back into the spiralling masses blocking out three gym bags marked 'WATER POLO', my untrained heart pulses still for their suntan and the bleachers of yesterday, the sight and sweat, jocks jangling for position in glistening waters — only then did I dare scream my lungs out, safe in the crowds of a high school roar.
