The void that you filled in each of our lives,
Now forever empty
The words that you’d say and things you would write, forever lay unchanged,
All of us here pray for the family and friends, wish you knew that you were plenty,
Maybe if we’d just spoken up or said these things before you left, things could’ve been different
But we didn’t and now your gone and each feels like they’re to blame, ...
We say we sleep at night
But really we’re always awake
Our minds churning
With the dreams we make
We run from the coming dawn
And take comfort in stars
For they are only small lights
Compared to the rising sun
But we can’t ever hide
From a inevitable force
For nature is nurturing
Merciless and corse
We run from the dawn
Hind from the light
For we’re not adjusted
To this new coming blight
And ...
i met you at dusk
it was the third wednesday of may
and your friends
and my friends
and you and me
were drinking sodas instead of beer
because we were wiser than our classmates
who thought that speaking to the cops
in a drunken state of mind
was the way to live life
anyways
you and me fought for a cream soda
which i later discovered you prefer over root beer
we finally settled to split it
until y...
What do we do, love?
We’re not young anymore.
A little tenderfooted,
Perhaps,
But not naive.
Some days I still recall
The ways we slid through
Time like it was a rain puddle,
Silvered mirror casting reflections
Everywhere I look.
We grew together
Like two sapling trunks embracing
When I open your paper tongue,
And speak your words,
I cry.
Should we abandon loss?
Or bid the mirror shards rem...
Peeta's heart yearned for freedom, for a life beyond the darkness that consumed him. He had found himself entangled with a group of boys, Nathan, Lewis, and Riley, whose actions were anything but kind. They reveled in mischief and made Peeta a part of their twisted games.
But deep down, Peeta was different. He possessed a sweetness and innocence that clashed with the bad boys' intentions. He long...
There is nothing harder than heaven,
Nothing easier than hell.
We break dawn before humanity wakes a sun heavy with hope.
The ember trails it leaves in the cold morning are a gift.
New hopes forged in the dawns break.
New promises made as the amber lights break the tree line.
There is nothing harder than heaven,
Nothing easier than hell.

Love You R...
“Daddy didn’t make it.”
Going through the motions, up and down then I’ll fall. Again and again, I won’t get things that other people get. But I stood up, raised the blade and took another swing. I grew bitter, smiling with salty tears in my eyes, thoughts that clouded and made me do awful things.
The stars fell, crashing down around me. I screamed and the world rocked on its axis. Jupiter yelped...
Crimson red drips down my arm
I try to hold back a cry
Glass bottles shatter
I hide back in a corner
It wasn't my fault
That I was born with this
Those past memories
Following my every step
What is there to life for
If we're all going to the same place?
Is it wrong,
To dream of eternal sleep?
Then you came along that faithful night
And showed me to embrace those memories
You taught me to stay s...
