Stand in the Place You are
Let the World Wash Past
It is nothing but broken promises—
It is nothing but ash.
Stand in the Place You are
Let the Stars Blink Out
They are nothing but lies and deceptions
They are nothing but doubt.
Stand in the Place You are
Let the Hearts Finally Cease
So that You are Eternal
So that You can be at Peace.

Raindrops keep falling on the heads

I cannot say why,

I loved you.
I hoped you could change
And love me too.
And maybe you did

Maybe you loved and always loved…
Mom…and Brother…and Sister…

Even as they left you…
Divorce…Miles apart…Hospital…

I stayed.
Didn’t you…notice?

I stayed.
I held on to

It comes the time
when one must stand,
although it pains one so.
For it would be
so simple to return to
delusions of long ago.
I am not brave
nor eloquent.
My words, if spoken,
lack meaning.
And yet, as the wind blows,
I state my mind,
in hopes that someone can hear.
And yet, as the wind blows,
I know that none
will listen to what I hold dear.
For I am not brave,
nor eloquent.
My words, for certain,
should be left unsaid.
I used to believe
that all was well.
The world made of sunshine and bright.
And was shocked to learn-
embarrassingly so-
that when the sun sets there is night.
For I am not brave,
nor eloquent.
My words, I know,

Dear William Blake
I apologize.
We cannot read
as with your eyes.
Your poems all can
mean a lot,
or very little,
true meaning forgot.
But do we read
Too much from words?
And make so much more
out of what we’ve heard?
Or do I make the mistake
in the words that I write?
For do I lack the meaning
like your Tyger in the night?
The blade of art
pierces so.
There is so much we want to
but Cannot know.
I believe no one looks you in the eye.
For if they did, they'd see as I
and wonder when you passed.
I did. I do.
Wonder where you've gone—
And how it is you went.
As they're all looking forward,
I am looking back.
I know you died some time ago.
Wasn't I quite small?
I'd only just met you,
but in your eyes, you know.
There was nothing left.
Your smile was quite friendly,
your laugh filled with warmth
but your eyes were cold and hollow.
Your eyes, your eyes.
I remember your eyes.
Bright in their cobweb stare,
with all the darkness and hate trapped there.
You gave the Devil a run for his fright.

Alyss and the Girl in Blue
Possible Spoilers for Last Arrival and Thirteen.
Before I met many of the fantastic people I know now, I was freshman in high school and I had five friends. Although that has no relevance to anything, it seemed like a good way to start this.
Because, in all honesty, Alyss was born my freshman year of high school.
Back then, however, her name was not Alyss and she didn't have an almost obsessive love of the color blue. In fact, back then, she wasn't even my character.
The original Alyss came from the book Milia 18 by Leon Uris. A book I love despite the raging love story, multiple feelings of wanting to punch the main character in the fac
The girl sitting next to me has a beautiful smile.
I want to get up and tell her but I'm too nervous. I am, in fact, a perfect stranger. One of 40,000 here.
I wonder if she notices when I look up to see if she's smiling again. She watches people who walk by too. That's why I caught her smiling the first time. I think she saw someone do something funny.
I wish society didn't deem it strange for one girl to call another girl beautiful.
Maybe then I could have gone up and told her.
Instead of just writing about it
"Um...this may sound weird strange but you have a really pretty smile " I don't even know how I
