She sat on the edge,
quietly waiting,
for the sun to rise,
and chase away the darkness.

She looked to the east,
calmly calculating,
the amount of time,
till she hears birds sing.

She saw a glimpse of light,
slowly brightening,
with every single second,
the world held its breath.

She watched the light grow,
beautifully round,
and it rose above the hill,
not seeming to stop.

She felt the kind heat,
quietly warming,
her tired body,
till she felt alive again.

She knew why she was here,
calmly understanding,
that fate brought her,
and she could change that.

She sat on the edge,
tensely waiting,
she got up rigidly,
this will not be her last sunrise.

Just to start off
may I say,
that I hope you had,
or will have,
a wonderful birthday.
I do not know,
precisely when it is,
but I hope you know,
that this is my gift.
People should not gift,
only to receive,
you told me so yourself,
but you deserve it
more than anyone I know,
because of who you are.
You are kind,
and caring,
and always do what you believe is right.
You are an amazing
friend,
and i'm proud to call you that.
You listened to my problems,
and gave me your advice,
you really helped me through,
a tough time,
and that makes you
a brilliant person,
an awesome friend,
that's who you are.
This is the best I can do,
in return of the beautiful gift,
that you have given me.

My head
is turning
my mind
is swirling
my eyes
can't take
this sight
before me
adrenaline is
rushing through
my body
fueling my
jerking movements
and my
cracking voice
as I
scream to
the world
and roll
on my
soft bed
I find
no comfort
from this
instead i'm
losing my
strong mind
in a
long battle
that lasted
for only
an hour
but yet
it felt
like years
I am
freaking out
over nothing
in particular
and I
can not
explain why
but I
have this
awful feeling
and now
i'm just
stuck in
this strange
chaotic world
where I
can't seem
to find
peace.

A girl crouched on the snowy ground,
her head was bowed
like the branches of the oak tree,
heavy with snow.
Before her lay a man,
with fresh snow
falling gently onto his pale face,
his chest heaved with the effort to breathe,
his eyes were calm,
and they locked with the girls large eyes,
"No fear," he whispered,
followed with an uncontrolled coughing fit.
The girl nodded her head slowly,
yet fear still rang deep in her heart.
The man's chest started to slow,
and with one ragged breath,
his chest went still.
The snow stopped briefly,
and the entire world held it's breath
as the girl leaned forward
and kissed the man's forehead,
he was cold,
colder than ice.
The snow started to fall again,
harder this time,
the girl watched
as it covered the man's body.
Behind her,
the oak branch snapped
under the weight of the snow,
the girl didn't flinch.
She looked at the mound of snow
that hid the man,
her father,
she got up
and started to walk away,
she looked over her shoulder,
and smiled,
"No fear,"
she whispered to the quiet world around her,
and she walked away,
her footprints being erased,
by the falling snow.

Let me rest
and sink to the bottom,
and lay on the sandy ocean floor.

Let me slowly fade
into my own daydream,
where I float alone,
along the gentle waves.

Let me close my eyes
for the last time,
as the blue-green waves,
crash over my body.

Let the ocean take me under,
and carry me away,
with its strong, swift, current.

Let me die my own way,
peacefully.
