Darkness

I feel darkness its everywhere

But I still see shadows fall upon what 

may seem a very dark figure.

Its hideouse scary inormously big.

Im afraid but im queit, It takes the whole

side of the room with it.

It dont leave it just sits there Im so 

unhappy. How can I define it, what may I do 

to stop it. Its comeing, it gets closer. 

Its bringing me down. I try not to let it 

but it does anyway. It dont tak It just
 
stares.

I am the only one who can see it.

Everyone else just sees the pain it causes.

No one understands. I cant keep hideing my 

bags. My eyes are tired, Im always drousy. 

People think Im sick. When Im just sleepy. 

My stomach hurts as it gets closer. Im 

afraid its going to take me away. Please how 

do I stop it Im very afraid.

What Are These Eye's

The way they look at me is almost time stopping.  The icey color. The shadow that fall's right

below. Why can't I stop staring? Why are they looking at me? I don't know if it scares me or

just rightly sets me in a mood. What mood? They are beautiful almost unreal... They send

me into a deep thought and a completely differant world. Can I not find the right word for 

what they are? Not mysteriouse. Not wanting. Hmmm... My thought's race as I begin to breath

some what hard. Wow, what is wrong with me. Who is this person? Why do I look into thier

soul through thier waunderful time stoppin eyes. It is like I just wan't to melt. I feel a cold

breeze and I almost snap out of it. Wait now what? What is it... I just cant stop the daze. It is

so amazing, so waunderful. I just want them. I don't want the person just thier eyes. Can I

have them? They have to be God's eyes. No man can have such an affect on a woman

through such a thing as his eye's. I just cant figure this out. Im in such deep thought about

all this. What is worng with me?  I am not thinking this! I could not just take them. He would

kill me if I tried to take his eye's. He is so much bigger than me. NO, wait I would never

committ such a crime. That is terrible how could I think like a killer. Taking someone's eye's! 

That is just terrible! I could never. What if I could just have him. If he was mine his eye's

would also be mine. Hmm... just to think. Can I own something as beatiful and time stopping

as these eye's? That would be controlling of me. I am not like that. This is crazy what are

they doing to me. It's like they turn me into a completly differant person.  Do I like it? I don't

know. All I think about is wanting his eyes. It is so consuming to my soul  and my mind. Wait

what he is he doing? Is he coming over here? Could that be? Oh what if I can't speak for

looking into his eyes? Oh no, what about all my thoughts? What do I do? I can't run,  for I am

in such a trance. Wait what is he doing? Where is he going. It can't be! Is it over? Just like

that? Wow, and yet still I can't stop thinking about those dark, beatiful, waunderful, icey 
eye's.

Broken Dream's

I see the shadow's 

they get closer and closer

I get deeper and deeper into the dispair 

you have put me in. 

I am running away. You have put me down and 

drug me around for the last time.

I cant take the hurt anymore it's to 

complicated, you have broken my dreams and 

let me cry till can't go on anymore.

I am hurt... I am hurt and i am scared. My 

dreams are scattered for i don't know them 

anymore.....

Word's

I worry constanty of these dreams 

at night

They come and go as birds of flight

The images never leave

So I never sleep...

Therefor are these really dreams?

Maybe there visions or just day dreams.

Maybe Im crazy because I cant sleep...

I know Im strange but so do they

So why does it matter what other people say?

My life goes on as if it never happened

Am I here or have I taken action?

Well Im not gone yet so I must not 

be apsent. You see me now but may you not 

later that ok I'll be back soon. Thats one

good thing about being me you never know 

whats gonna happen.

The Greatest Love

When I think about the love he say's he has for me, I 

think about all the times people have said they love 

me. No one's love is as great as his. I have never 

heard someone tell me they love me like him. He says 

he is sure and he want's to give me the world. I say... I

don't know if I can take all the spoiling.  I am 

use to working for everything. I know that he is as 

perfect as it get's. He work's hard but still he think's

he need's to be better. For me... he is as perfect as they come.

Any more perfect and I might say it was a little 

untouched and almost finshed. I know that he is trying,

he don't have to show me that. All I wan't is to know is

that he love's me, and that is something he says he know's 

for a fact.

Shadow's

The shadows rise just before sun fall

People seem to become tranced through it

all. They speak of goblins, ghosts,and such.

Do people realize what they see. Shadows

jump from wall to wall they fallow you down

through the halls. They are there when you

wake and when you go to sleep. They are

dark little figures who through it all

never go away even after sun fall.

Thoughts of a Perfect Angel

When your just sitting here

trying to realise what's going

on in your life. So confusing

and sometimes wonderful but

still yet hurtful to sit and 

think. Where am I going? What

am I doing? How am I getting to

all my dreams. When the city

lights seem just so far away

for a country girl to say I'm

not alone. When the one that

seems so close to you but

still so far out of reach to

hold as dear as you would 

like . They just seem so close

you feel a tingle inside and

out that touches your heart and

just makes you want to cry.

What is this what am I

experiencing. Is it really a

mothers love? Do people really

realise how close I have come

to the wonderful thing that is

growing so close inside me? Can

I take this? Can I do this? Yes

I can because I'm not alone. The

wonderful man that loves me

also loves my beautiful angel.

Not only is she mine she is his

and soon we will be a family. I

can do this. For she is not

just part of me but a part of

him to.

Feeling's

I fear these feelings I feel inside

How deep they are 

Why wont they hide

I am afraid the feeling is not the same

Why cant they leave befor I go insane

I can not hide my fear inside

It shows right straight through my eyes

You ask whats wrong but I still

Try to deny

The facts that are hideing deep inside

I hold them back as long as I can

I have not yet said what I can

Im confused scared afraid and all

what do I do before I fall

Deeper in these feelings inside.
