Favorite Quote:
"The two most important days in your life are the day you are born, and the day you find out why." - Mark Twain


Shadows come again and again.

Drifting through the icy, cold wind.
Darkening hearts of those who smile.
Meet where light and dark reconcile.
Maybe this time we shall be prepared.
Strong and brave not shaken and scared.
I believe we've one this war.
But such an answer can't be derived from gore.
Tears and blood darken all the same.
Yet its the crying and bleeding that you must tame.
Flames burning her wings away.
Re-lit at the turning of a new day.
Remember the tales I told from long long ago.
Do you see him now that his true colors show?
Dreams cursed by the black emptiness awakened.
Light shunned away to a realm even more forsaken.
Forgotten memories arise to the surface.
Fallen angels take flight but what is the purpose?
Darker hearts are evil and cold.
Do you remember what you were told?
That lies are a thing to be feared.
The blood of one so pure, smeared.
I have a evil shadow looming over me.
But it feeds on fear, so leave it be.
Hiding in the corners of my deepest thought.
Lies the thing I wish I had never brought.
Because if I were to let it run free.
The entity would come again and crush me.
The broken hearts of many will regain.
Searing, unjust, and lonesome pain.
Dreams shifted to nightmares.
One thousand undying glares.
Cursed by love.
With wings like a dove.
Destroyed by fear.
With horns like deer.
Now let me ask you.
If you believe what I say is true.
I am stalked by my own reality.
Followed by largest immortality.
Now if you believe me or not.
I must ask you, hope you haven't forgot.
Even if you can't see my personal affairs.
Can you see my nightmares?


The author's comments:

This poem was inspired by one of my closest friends relationships with a boy who lied to her, and hurt her deeply. I was helpless in this situation. I'd like to say I did everything I could have, but I can't. I wish I had done more for her. What happened still haunts my nightmares.
