I can't see anything
Tiny droplets fall
It isn't rain
There's no ground
Somehow I'm suspended here
I close my eyes
I'm surrounded by a lingering white mist
And a tangle of trees
I'm in a flowing white dress
Wait
No, it's black
No, it's white
It's white
But it has a ring of singed black where it has been burnt
And red stains
I spin around at the sound of breaking branches and a metallic sound
There you are
On your knees
Your black clothes are torn
Your hands bloody
A bloody dagger rests at your knees
You bow your head looking at your hands
The spots of red on my dress are moist
I pull my hand away from one
My hand is bloody
I meet your eyes
Streams pour from your eyes and off your cheeks
You speak
But I can't hear you
You speak again
All I know is that you're trying to apologize
But I still can't hear you
I shake my head
A wall of fire burns behind you
I can't move
I can't speak
The fire engulfs you
I scream
I try to reach you
As I make my own streams I find my voice
I'm running for you
But you're gone
Everything is black
That last thing I hear is my own scream
"No!"

Get Away

2 min read
I need to get out of here
So many good times
Everything burned by you
You've branded my memories
Just like a farmer brands a cow
I just need to get away
There's nothing left here for me
The tornado destroyed my house
You took everything from me
I have to get out of here
There's a place I need to go
I need to get out of this place of memories
I gotta get out of town!
I need to get away from you!
Get out of my life!
How am I supposed to live with you constantly there?
All you do is shred my paper heart
Every time I escape
Every time you get my attention
I can't stand it anymore
I gotta get out of this town!
I have to get away from you!
Just leave me alone!
Get away!
Don't pull that crap on me
I know your games
I know them better than anyone else
They think they know you better than I do
But we both know they're wrong
I'm the one who knows you the best
That's why I need to escape
You define me
I define you
Find someone else to define you
'Cause I need to get away
You can't stand on your own
But I can
So stop confusing me
Just let me go
Get out of my life!
Let me get out of this town!
Gotta get away

I'm not alone
I know I'm not
But somehow in all the confusion of this messed up world
We always think we're alone
But we're not
There's always someone there
It's always a matter of finding that someone
And when you do
It's a matter of trusting them
You need to trust them with everything you have
When you find the person you can trust more than anything
Your life turns
It turns for the better
You aren't alone
At times we all think we are alone
But we're not
We never are
I hope you understand
That there is always someone willing to help you
I know it is hard to be happy
But you can be
Just stop looking at the negatives
I know it's hard
But you can do it
I believe in you
I'm here for you

LETTING GO

2 min read
It is time
I don't want to lose this
But it is time
Just like everything else I've ever known
It's time
I've never wanted to
But I've always had to say goodbye at one point or another
I never expected it
But just like everything else I've ever known
You are my past
It's time
I don't want to lose you
So I keep hanging on
I'll keep your ring
And the memories you left behind
It is time
But I just can't let you go
You hurt me so bad
And yet I always seem to overlook what you have done
All I can see is what we used to be
I love you
But I hate you more than anything else
I'm so confused
And yet
Through all the love I have for you
I know one thing for sure
If you ever want to be with me again
I will say no
It is time
I don't want to
Never will I want to let go of you
But now
In this moment
I have a friend
Whose shoulder I can cry on
Whose heart is pure
Whose decisions are made to protect me
My brother is making my decision
"It is time," He says
I don't want to
But yet I know he is right
I must
It is time
Just like everything else
There is always a goodbye
Now it is time
I hope you have braced yourself
'Cause I'm letting go
Let go…

DON'T FORGET

1 min read
Please don't forget
Don't forget me
Don't forget us
We've had some pretty big ups and downs
Don't forget
Whether it was a good time or a bad time
Only now do I realize that we will be together again
I know it
I just know it in my heart
You may not love me now
But you will love me again
Don't forget
Don't forget who I am
Don't forget anything about me
We will only be apart for a short time
But I know
In this time we will grow so much
We will overcome big obstacles
I believe this will be one of the biggest
Don't forget
Don't forget how you told me you would love me forever
Because even though you don't right now
I know you will always love me
You will love me until the day we die
And I will love you until the day we die
You were right
We have a future together
I can see that now
So don't forget me
I won't forget you
Until we meet again
