I miss you so much. I never got to say "bye" cause I couldn't call you. I can't beleive you are gone for 5 days! It is an eternity in my eyes. I haven't held you for four days anyway, and now you are gone for another five. Oh lord I am going to go INSANE from wanting to at least hold your hand. Please be safe at camp. They are going to push you until you can't be pushed anymore, and then they are going to keep pushing. I hope you have your inhaler. Don't get hurt too much. And try to have fun, ok?

The urgency in your voice
The anger of your love
All for her
Every breath you take
Every tear in your eyes
For her
You tell me
That we'd be happy
You tell me
That you like me
You tell me
Without words
I'd love to believe
I'd love to pretend
I'd love to be yours
But you're hers
It doesn't matter what you say
Words are not real
What you do
Is truth
She's unloyally yours
You're unloyally hers
Here I stand
Empty
Alone
Here I cry
Silently
Screaming
Here I'll be
loyal to Solitude

You said that I left you in the dust.
You said I broke your heart.
You said I betrayed you.
No.
The truth is,
You hurt ME.
You left ME in the dust.
You broke MY heart.
And by staying with you I would only be betraying myself.

"Don't bother," said a voice startlingly close, "I already took your knife." Light sparked and a lamp slowly flared to life.
A woman was sitting in a chair at my writing desk not too far from where I slept. I looked at her, trying to figure out how she got into my rooms with out me noticing. I shifted around trying to make it look like I was getting more comfortable when I was really reaching for the second knife which I kept tucked into the side of my bed between the mattress and the boards.

The EyeWhy oh whyThe Eye2 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
Did the poor man cry,
"My eye, you see!
My eye! My eye!
A-once upon a dreary day,
A little like today, I say,
It started talking,
And my eye did say:
'Oh woe is me,
Just to be
Stuck within a
Human being.'
Then I started to cry
Because my eye
Had said such things
And then good-bye."
So now, you see,
Do you believe
That an eye can talk
And walk and breathe?
Because if you do
Not believe it true
I will find my eye
And have him come after you.

You will not be my Heathcliff with your brooding ways and dark secrets. I never want to have any hate in a relationship with you and I'd rather die, than see you with another out of jealousy.
You will not be my Edward because I will not let you control. I will not let you consume or vice versa. I will not be a poker chip to be bargained over or the cause of anything thoughtless and deadly.
You will not be my Lancelot, no matter how fragile you think me to be. I'm not a damsel in distress to be fought over; I c

The sun was rising as I sat in the windowsill nipping my wine. I sighed as I swung the glass in my hand and stared at the sky. The light of the rising sun was making the clouds glimmer in different colors, from pink to orange, some were even almost red.
A single tear dropped from my right eye, making it's way across my cheek. I didn't dare to stop it. "Pure crystals," your words echoed in my head, "do not ever throw 'em away. They are so precious your feelings."
A raindrop met the glass in front of me, and slowly, almost carefully others followed. In between the sad thoughts in my head I smiled a little. "So you agree with me?," I as

willing to get wet?The lust for beauty is engraved into my heart, I guess you could say I'm addicted. I give my self the title " artist " without justification, simply because the longing to create and shape something divine is lodged deep in my brain, and I cannot get it out. It is who I am, and always will be. Whether I finally settle on painting, drawing, photography, media make up or any other form of media I have yet to discover. To look at my sketchbook, you are given an insight into my insanity. to see a painting you are viewing beauty that I wish I had.

My name is Stanly Warfield. I am a typical, ordinary high school teenager, with one exception: I'm telepathic. Now you're probably thinking I'm some kind of mind reader, but I'm not. All being telepathic means is that you can manipulate things with your mind. There are many different kinds of telepathy, like Pyrokinesis, but mine is Magnokinesis aka the ability to control metal through magnetic fields. I have found that despite as awesome as it sounds, I have had a hard time controlling it. That was, until I met a man named "The Professor." Ever since then, I have been attending a new school for people who are just like me, and

Summer, and YouSummer is upon us,Summer, and You2 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
Sweltering days fading into
Sultry nights.
The ebony sky is winking,
Suspiring hope.
For now I am carefree,
Soul running rampant with the wind.
And my heart,
Which tells me dreams do not lie,
Is consumed with you.
These endless summer nights
Keep me busy, chasing stars and
Fireflies.
I get lost in thoughts of eyes--
Yours, the softest sapphire blue.
For now I have my dreams
Which are constantly set on your
Sweet smile,
And I can't help but smile,
Because of summer
And you.

The Meaning of SummerI remember that summer to be the sweetest, with the sun beating down on us through thick, grey clouds. The time that wasn't spent brooding over the habit of drizzling rain in Ireland was passed at the beach, or the park, where the light breeze put our minds at ease, allowing us to forget of the school days we had only just left behind; the school days that were approaching far too soon.The Meaning of Summer2 years ago in Flash Fiction & Vignettes More Like This
I spent hours with my feet dipped into the freezing-cold ocean, shaking my head vigorously at my friends, who urged me to jump into the ocean and swim. If it was any other summer I would have joined them in a heartbeat.

Waltz on the Wild SideThey stole the roomWaltz on the Wild Side2 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
holding every glance
in captivation,
jaw dropping gasps
at such daring they displayed
in utter disregard
for social decorum.
Bodies nearly touching
almost upon air they seemed
to float with eyes entranced
in locked gaze,
unaware of whispers
behind their backs,
women nearly fainting.
Sweetly to the melody
in fluidity they moved
with such unmitigated grace,
possessing the very name of elegance
while turning heads
in a wave of shock
in such open displays
of passionate abandon.
Turning the world
upon its head as they glided
past the sea of disapproving faces,
embracing their rebellion

and found what drove you apart,
listened so hard to your head
and getting interference from your heart?
Misdirection pulsing through my actions,
I take another leap
and land on the other side.
A star lit my way...
Your bright light
will save my life,
your energy is giving me
the strength to fight.
Have you ever looked out at nothing,
and found her in your heart?
Your bright light will save my ife,
your heat is my strength to stand.
This bright light will
illuminate my nights,
and our hearts will collide.

Coffee in the Rain Rain poured down the darkened streets of New York as a young man in his early twenties dragged his feet along the wet pavement. Wet, dripping hair was plastered across his forehead as he made his way down the dimly lit street. Dark bags hung from tired eyes, his skin pale and chilled with goose bumps, dressed in nothing but a sopping wet t-shirt and an old pair of jeans. An empty bottle of beer was grasped lightly in his hands.Coffee in the Rain2 years ago in Flash Fiction & Vignettes More Like This

It's snowing today, the sky's gray and it's getting dark. The street lights should be turning on soon. This presence, I can feel it again, the feeling of being watched. It's been twenty minutes already and I can't shake him. He's always behind me no matter which street corner I turn or how many roads I cut across. I know someone's there. I can feel them staring, watching my every move. I've been able to distract myself till now. Calling people or stopping at convenience stores on my way home but it's quiet now. I'm almost to the house. All I have to do is get past the door and lock it. All I have to do is stay c

To end a precious life
All because of you
And the stupid mocks...
Shoot me
Let me die...
Wither in pain...
Just let this end!

I don't want you dead
All because you're gay
You don't have to change...
Don't let their foolish words
Kill you inside out...
So today I stand up for you
On this day of silence
