Summer
I remember the days
When I would
When I could
Greet you with joy
With eagerness of what was to come
Those endless nights
Spent under the stars
Just basking in your presence
Under your protection from all
I remember myself back then
Filled with joy, gay,
Anticipating eagerly each coming day
Innocence of life still intact
Summer
Now you come slowly
Afraid of how I will react
And rightly so
One day I am eagerly awaiting your return
The next,
I am hoping against all hopes that you never come
Now I look at my life
Cynical, devoid of emotion
Afraid of what is coming
But unwilling to hold on
I wi

Precious moments Once long agoPrecious moments by ~Once-Around-Again
In a time long gone
A life no longer lived
I was alive
The days would come and go
Barely fast enough to keep track
But always in my mind
One day, I met a person
Who gave new meaning to life
One to make the world brighter
The time with them
Made it all go away
The pain
The wasting away
Unforeseeable, the end came
Fast and violent
Shaking me to my core
The end was over
For some, a new beginning
For me, struggles
For me
The world would stay
In the frame it was before
Forever more


Choices ChoicesChoices by ~Once-Around-Again
Another day
Another choice
Again a chance to sway your fate
Your heart says left
Your gut says right
But how to decide
The others around you
Watch as you struggle
Watch silently as you fight
Not knowing what is happening
You come to a choice
A conclusion you believe
With courage in your eyes
You act
You hear someone say
"Hindsight is always better"
But the pain never leaves
The numbness forever stays
You don't understand
How what sounded so right
Turned out so wrong
None forget
Your place in what happened
The way you let the dominoes fall
But you alone
You wonder why
Why the people changed


Beautiful Mistake ~Beautiful Mistake~Beautiful Mistake by ~xxuglyducklingxx
Finger on the trigger.
Picture in my hand.
I know you didnt love him,
So you dont understand.
Im not needing your approval,
I know youll be okay.
Just because you love somebody,
Doesnt make them stay.
Love can give.
Love can take.
Hes my beautiful mistake.
I learned to live.
I learned to love.
I learned sorrys just not enough.
He learned to take.
He learned to lie.
He stole my life,
One kiss at a time.
So with my finger on the trigger,
His picture in my hand.
I used the balls he never had,
And took the final stand.
No Im sorry.
No goodbye.
Just a f


A Bird A bird can turn to no one.A Bird by ~TheyCallMeLili
All it has is the wind around it,
the air in its lungs,
and the wings it has to fly with.
It flutters its wings,
only to step back,
frightened of falling
down
towards the ground.
But then it dives into the air
and lets the wind and the sky take it away.
Indescribable.
Chills shiver in its spine,
its heart pounds in its chest...
silence.
There is no world.
There's just a bird
flying freely in the sky.
Nobody sees it.
No one hears it.
A bird has nobody to turn to.
It turns to itself
and the wind.
The wind can't catch the bird if it falls.
The bird must catch itself.
