- This Doesn't Need a Title -

Sitting in a room of darkness,
Of blinding light.
Stuck on a deserted island.
Buried alive.
Drowning.
Falling down an endless hole.
Being immortal,
Mortality.
Sleeping without a blanket.
Having a nightmare when you die, come back to life, then die and live over and over again.
Being sick.
Being well.
Hallucinating.
Watching a scary movie.
Getting in trouble.
Loving one and not being loved back.
Not fitting in.
Being popular.
Being poor.
Being rich.
Being ugly.
Being beautiful.
Being perfect.
Imperfect.
Being beaten and hurting in every part of your body.
Waiting for an answer.
Getting the answer.
Being in school.
Being at home.
Being born.
Growing.
Loving.
Living.

It's when you're alone all this is painful.

- My Favorite Song: "My Immortal" by Evanescence -

i'm so tired of being here
suppressed by all my childish fears
and if you have to leave
i wish that you would just leave
'cause your presence still lingers here
and it won't leave me alone

these wounds won't seem to heal
this pain is just too real
there's just too much that time cannot erase

[chorus]
when you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears
when you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears
i held your hand through all of these years
but you still haveall of me

you used to captivate me
by your resonating life
now i'm bound by the life you left behind
your face it hauntsmy once pleasant dreams
your voice it chased away
all the sanity in me

these wounds won't seem to heal
this pain is just too real
there's just too much that time cannot erase

[chorus]

i've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
but though you're still with me
i've been alone all along

[chorus]

- Strange quote of the day... -

[You like] having someone to call your own, even if it just means inaudibly whispering, "You are so mine," to strangers.

What is it about you?

It's like you're there but you're not.
You want to come close but you're staying away.
You look at me deeply then look away when I see you.
It seems to be perfect but I'm really not your type.

Mixed signs and mixed emotions all coming for me.
But then it's my fault.
I haven't told you a thing.
Sorry to keep you guessing but you're keeping me guessing.
I guess we're both afraid to ruin something great.

The story of my life.

Three days. Three words to think about.

Day One: I

I'm sorry if I scared you away.
I didn't intend to do so.
I'm sorry if I embarassed you.
I thought you would love it.
I knew no other way to tell you,
but I wouldn't have done it if I knew it was the wrong time.

Day Two: Love

Love, the way I feel for you is hard to explain.
Love, its not the only thing.
Love, crazy isn't it.

Day Three: You

You were surprised.
You were disappointed.
You didn't know what to say.
You didn't know what to feel, but
You know what?
You're the only one I had thought about.

There you go.
Three days and three words.
What more is there to say?

I know.

I'm sorry...I love you anyway.
