Falling

Where to?
Help me!
It's an endless void of darkness
Where am I falling?
I'm lost for words
Literally lost
The darkness is my only friend
The light my only foe
Though to tell the truth
I'm sorry
To everyone who I knew
Up in the clouds
Help
I'm clueless
This world is deep and scary
Notice how I didn't say dark?
Of course I didn't.
Wherever I'm falling
It must be light
Since I see a golden light
No, wait!
It's not!
It's another chance
A new page to turn
A hand!
No. It's my imagination.
I wake up.

Clouds

I once dreamed
To touch a cloud
To feel the soft touch
And lay upon it.

Reality is horrible.

Reality

I had a dream the other night
Maybe it just wasn't right
A touch of lips on my skin
Grinning into my pillow 'til my smile wore thin
In a few seconds it was gone with the cold
Not until I saw someone did I have to be told
"Are you okay? You're a bit out of it."
Then it turned clear and I cried a bit
In my dreams is was just you and me
Once I woke up, I was there and you didn't see
Night after night I thought of you
So sorry that you weren't thinking of me too

(pretending this isn't about my previous crush)

Clear

Once upon a time, a young maiden lived.
She was a very gifted girl, with sight beyond sight.
Every day she would give what she had to give.
She worked her hardest to relieve others of their plight.

She listened to their troubles and used her powers to save.
But deep inside, she knew that she was repenting for her sins.
She remembered a girl that, long ago, she had failed to save.
She wished that she had listened and hadn't killed her own twin.

And then, one fateful day that she couldn't have seen coming,
Another young maiden, with silver hair, walked into her parlor.
She wasn't well known by anyone in the kingdom
Though she claimed that she came from the small town by the harbor.

"My name is Marie and I've heard of your skills.
Though it isn't my own plight I wish you to slay.
My closest friend- he could even be called my brother-
Has gotten into a problem that's rather hard to relay."

"It is better if I showed you rather than told you,"
she whispered briskly as she led the other away.
"But I must warn you to be prepared,
as we only have enough time to save him today."

Marie took the psychic maiden to a silver pond.
There, a boy was waiting, but not as Marie described.
He was small and lithe, with hair the color of gold,
And yet, he was troubled, as could be seen when they arrived.

The pond was clear, but something lurked within its crystal depths.
As the psychic maiden stood, she was shoved with sudden resolution.
The maiden now knew who really asked her for her psychic assistance:
A girl who's name was _______, and who found a simple solution.

The maiden closed her grass-green eyes as she sank into the depths.
She knew as IT grabbed her that she couldn't save herself this time.
And as _______ turned off the illusion of the boy, happy with her revenge,
The maiden died, asking herself,
"How could I have been so blind?"

Lurking

My nemesis has always been hate
She hides in every corner of my mind
She breeds hate for who I am of late
She speaks hate for what I've become with words unkind

She whispers hate for who I've dared to love
And talks of longing for whom I've lost
"All your fault," comes the voice I'm scared of
And she will tease 'til my mind is full of hurt and exhaust

A barrier from the words that pain and mock
I wish I could hide or get away, but her voice is always near
I wish I could escape, but her voice is the only one I can't block
Hate is my nemesis, the one lurking in my mind, the one no one else can hear

Voice

I woke up one day to the absence of my voice.
Scream as I might, I could not say a thing.
Then I woke up, with great delight
To remember that I'd have to go out and sing.

(This one's a story about stage fright.)

[Demmie]

Scream

Darkness
surrounds me
like a dark
black
cloud.
A vastness
so inescapable
and unspeakably
loud.
My mouth
opens
I cannot
scream.
I wish
I wish
it is just
a dream.
Coldness
causing me
agony
all alone.
Yet
it fades
with the morning sun
it vanishes
with a ring
of my
phone.

Black

Once upon a time, an angel was revered
For the relief he gave to others from their fears.
He was envied by the angels who worked by his side.
And then, one day, one wished to take his life.

But something happened on that fateful day.
The magic changed the healing angel.
It seared his wings and he fell
From heaven down to earth
Where the corruption
Took his pure soul
And made him
Black
Black
Like night
Like a crow's
Wings, his became
He turned truly insane
And on that terrible, fateful
Day, every angel still pure cried
For both their fallen friend and in
Fear of the dark that was coming for them.

We all remember the day
When the bishop became the king
And chaos ruled the kingdom.

Angel

Above
all
else,
she
flew.
Her
wings
spread
wide,
and
her
eyes
closed.
She
was
an
angel.
Until...
she
fell
from
the
sky
she
had
embraced.

Down...
A
spiralling
unending
horrific
fall.
Until...
she
hit
the
ground.

Her
eyes
opened.
Mouth
agape
in
shock.
Sweat
dripped
from
her
forehead.

She
was
alive.

She...
was...
alive.
