The chill of near winter cold pinched and bit at my skin. It was January, the earlier days in the month. Though, cold as it was, the icy, melancholy dusk gave an almost comforting cover of peace and mystery; the sky was the color of the royal blue eyes hidden in the body next to me. Them and the sky had a strange, stained glass-like quality, as though they held deep in them a church more grand than the weathered architecture of the British Isles.
   The two of us sat in the silence on top of the frozen, yellow grass and weeds, watching a string of traffic hug the curves of a hill further down then their ridge, the miniature cars' lights flickering and glowing like small, golden Christmas lights.
  We had been friends for so long now. But soon, he would go off to college in Massachusetts, a dream of his he worked overtime ever since elementary school to achieve. I would stay behind in my native state, and wait until another year finished until i could take the wings of the blackbird in our backyard and fly away. There was half a year left, only half a year, until i looked inside his frosted window once again, only to find his room was vacated.
  I leaned against him. As he put my arm around me, and I cried. Bitter, tired, and isolated.

HOLY CRAAAP!!! Kien Nguyen is such an awesome author ^^ dont know how to pronnounce his name, though -.- go read his books!! NOW!!!! >_<

Famous last words;
       "Tomorrow never comes.
               "Will I ever know
                     "that I was in love...?"

As soon as I get my licence and some free time, I am going to drive down Hampden to the ramen shop, and conduct a lively chat with the other rameneers. On the way back, I will park at Denver University, and wait on the lawn by the science classroom for the boy of summer I waved goodbye to there...

Sunny days, keeping the clouds away
I think I'm coming to a clearing in a brighter day...
So far away
Still, I think they say,
"The weight will make the heart grow stronger."
...or fonder, I can't quite remember anyway

So if you're waiting for love
Well it's a promise I'll keep
If you don't mind believing that it changes everything,
Then time will never matter

Winter, spring...
It's what love can truly bring
Ice turns to water, water flows to everything
You can lose your mind,
Maybe then your heart you'll find
I hope you won't give up what's moving you inside

So if you're waiting for love,
Then it's a promise I'll keep
If you don't mind believing that it changes everything,
then time will never matter

So if the car won't start

When you turn the key,



When the music comes on,










All your cold cold heart can do





























is skip a beat

wow...im feeling more depressed than i should be.

my issues have gotten to the point where if i even have a small glass of anything that contains caffine that i get really naseated, and at some point when i laid down, i got exteremely dizzy. i have also found that the only fast food i can eat now is mcdonalds (barely, and even though i have been repulsed by even hearing its name, now... you just needed to know all of that, didnt you?)

"I've Always Loved You"
By Third Day


I don’t know how to explain it
But I know the words would hardly do
Miracles and signs and wonders
Aren’t enough for me to prove to you

Don’t you know I’ve always loved you
Even before there was time
Though you turn away
I tell you still
Don’t you know I’ve always loved you
And I always will

Greater love has not a man
Than the one who gives his life to prove
That he would do anything
And that’s what I’m gonna do for you

Don’t you know I’ve always loved you
Even before there was time
Though you turn away
I tell you still
Don’t you know I’ve always loved you
And I always will

Don’t you know I’ve always loved you
Even before there was time
Though you turn away
I tell you still
Don’t you know I’ve always loved you

Don’t you know I’ve always loved you
Even before there was time
Though you turn away
I tell you still
Don’t you know I’ve always loved you
And I always will

I've always loved you
and I always will
I've always loved you
and I always will
I've always loved you
and I always, and I always will
I've always loved you....

  What made her do it the first time? Was she given too much, or did she take on too little? Was it for many of her "friend's" pressure, or the betrayal of the single good one? The curiosity or the lust? The need or the want? The thought of it, sitting tidy in the wooden drawer, needing to add a touch of iron flavor the the bland meals cooked daily? None of those. Excuses could not release her, she thinks as she hears the wheels of the drawer turning.
  Stop!! She screams. Her throat closes with the thirst for more. Just one! She thinks. I'll stop tomorrow.
  Her hands cease their inward motion.
  What if there is no tomorrow?
  They inch it back a few centimeters.
  A crack and a whip shudder across her mind. She clenches her teeth. The hunger of her dry soul takes her hands, pleading for her to end its painful misery, alone and driven with an empty, savage hunger.
  The drawer stops. It is completely open.
  She hears a noise, whipping about her ears and the clumps and strands of soiled hair. Only the rain. Just rain.
  It was dark inside. The windows were sealed shut.
  Where did everyone go? When she wants...when she needs them...to come back; to steal away the suicidal means of her thirsty addiction.
  No one is there. Not even inside her sunken shell.
  Hot tears taxed long past due fill the resevoirs of her face and flood in waterfalls off her chin onto the white tile of the kitchen floor, diluting the drops of cherry red that leaked like a broken faucet from her cloven heart.
  Is it a dream?
  A dizzy spiraling dance through the kitchen fills the depths of her eyes.
  She lifts her hands to her face, bitter sweet release of all her emotions flowing down the bridge of her nose, dripping off the tip and filling the corners of her mouth.
  She coughs.
  Just one more...
  A glimpse she catches, of a face that is not hers, staring through the window of her microwave. It is pale, and far beyond sorrow. Her orange-brown freckles seem to stand up and dance in the pale moon of her silky, stained skin.
  More...another...just another...
  Painstakenly, her rusted finger moves, one knuckle creaking, then popping to a deathly rythm as four others follow it. The dead weight of her black solace clangs amongst its puddles of pain that it took all its tainted pleasure in reaping.
  What next?
  She sniffs and wipes her tears, smudging the crimson that had begun to crust over below her eyes.
  Still, there was no one.
  They were severed, all around. All but one. They moved and squirmed as she slowly ascended the stairway, the pumping red avoiding its target and spilling into the canyon of beige carpeting outside the bathroom floor.
  She undressed, and turned the knobs, and as the water filled the porcelain tub, she bandaged her crying wounds, as tightly as she could, shoving the massacred tissues back where they were so brutally dislodged from.
  The water was warm. It seeped through the tightly bound cloth to her naked skin, drawing the anguish, the frustration, the utter loneliness the drove her broken soul out, staining the water a clear, blooming rose. Her empty eyes lay watching as a horde of angels gathered her floating soul from the drain for a funeral procession into the clouds.


  

i had the cutest poem about dog hair, but now i cant find it...so ill tell a story that i wrote over the summer instead...

  She was the shy girl. She didn't talk to no one, so no one talked to her. She had asked special permission from the teacher (after hours of lecturing from her mother) if she could sit in the corner, meekly claiming she could see better from there. She reminded me of a little mouse--straight brown hair cut in an even line at her shoulders, little eyes you could barely see the pupils of, a nose stained with a rosey pink at the tip, and she stood at 5'3", five whole inches beneath me. I didn't know her name, since I always spaced out during roll call. The only name I heard was my own. To be frank, I didn't care, either. No one did.
  My reason for remembering her was that I sat in the back as well, at her right. She never looked up. It was as if someone superglued her line of vision to the desk. I rarely saw her pencil move, either. By the looks of it, she must have had a F average.
  I had seen her after school in the parking lot, too, while I was waiting for my mom, who was late. Her mother slapped her, then screamed at her to get in the car.
  I almost felt sympathetic. But not quite.
  One day, she didn't come to school. It happened the next day, too. And the next. I was probably the only one to notice. After she had been gone for a week, I came to class on monday and went straight to the teacher. "Where's the girl who sits next to me?"
  "You mean Chassity?"
  So that was her name..."Yeah."
  "She's sick." The teacher said, shrugging me off for a pile of homework that needed shuffling.
  I wasted no time getting to my assigned seat, where I sat the rest of the school day, doodling.
  The next morning, when I dragged the newspaper inside fromt he rain and unrolled it, one of the smaller headlines caught my eye; "Murder in Suburbs: Girl Drowned". Obviously, it was just one of those things I was used to seeing in the news, but right next to it, the picture was blurred by a water stain, as was the description.
  I sat down with my Mini-Wheats and, with only a mild curiosity, turned to the page as suggested by the headline. There, I saw the picture: brown hair, slits of eyes, and the little red nose. My eyes widened. I directed my attention to the picture below it. A woman, much resembling Chassity, stared back.
  The caption read the the girl's mother had dropped her in a bathtub, holding her small head underwater until her flailing arms fell motionless in the water.
  Now, the empty seat next to me screams. Every day, it tells me how she may have been alive now, if only i had said a tiny "hello".
