VJ Day Kiss
The sweetness of victory
Only grew in his sweet kiss,
Hist strong arms
Gently holding me to him,
Passerbys watch us
As we embrace each other,
With only letters sent
Back and forth,
It feels amazing to
Be in his arms,
His return alive
Brought me happiness,
The kiss seems to
Last forever,
As we stand there
The world spins,
Bringing loved ones
Home at last.

Couples Hall
Staring across the hall,
I can't help but see couples
Together and in love,
I wrap my arms around me,
Suddenly feeling cold and alone,
I long for someone to hold me,
Someone to whisper
Sweet nothings in my ear,
Someone to romance and to woo me,
I want someone to love me,
As I watch others hold theirs close,
It makes me want one myself,
I fantasize about sweet kisses,
And warm embraces,
That is all they are though,
Fantasies,
I hold myself tighter,
I start to walk alone
Down the hall of couples,
Someday I might walk
With someone down this hall.

What Have You Done?
"What have you done now?!
I know I’d better stop trying
You know that there’s no denying
I won’t show mercy on you now
I know, should stop believing
I know, there’s no retrieving
It’s over now, what have you done?
What have you done now?!
I, I’ve been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away... oh
Why, why does fate make us suffer?
There’s a curse between us, between me and you
What have you done?!
What have you done?!
What have you done?!
What have you done?!
What have you done now?!
What have you done?!
What have you done?!
What have you done?!
What have you done?!
What have you done now?!
Would you mind if I killed you?
Would you mind if I tried to?
'cause you have turned into my worst enemy
You carry hate that I don’t feel
It’s over now
What have you done?
What have you done now?!
I, I’ve been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away... oh
What have you done now?!
Why, why does fate make us suffer?
There’s a curse between us, between me and you
What have you done?!
What have you done?!
What have you done?!
What have you done?!
What have you done now?!
What have you done?!
What have you done?!
What have you done?!
What have you done?!
What have you done now?!
What have you done now, what have you done?
I will not fall, won’t let it go
We will be free when it ends
I, I’ve been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away... oh
What have you done now?!
Why, why does fate make us suffer?
There’s a curse between us, between me and you
I, I’ve been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away... oh
What have you done now?!
Why, why does fate make us suffer
There’s a curse between us, between me and you"

A song that always gets me thinking about what's right and what's wrong...
Blame - Assignment #2
I found this song actually quite reciently, but it's effected me greatly...It is a song that describes how what people do to you can change how you think about them. I just randomly found it on Youtube and I got addticted to the song, I have to listen to it at least 4 times a day...it's really an amazing song.
I think this song "hits" me because I found it right after a bad day, and I wanted to blame everyone else for all my problems but this song, it made me realize that if I want to blame people for my problems, there has to be a real reason for it. It got me thinking about what I blame people for, and if they really deserve the reason for it.
"...I know I'd better stop trying
You know that there's no denying
I won't show mercy on you now
I know I should stop believing
I know that there's no retrieving
It's over now
What have you done?
What have you done now?
I, I've been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away
What have you done now?
Why, Why does fate make us suffer
There's a curse between us
Between me and you..."
This part of the song struck me and made me think of all the things that people have done to me and if I should really blame them for my problems. It made me think that I should've taken the blame for all the problems I've had. But for the problems that aren't my fault, I should blame those and ask them, "Why?"
Prompts:
1) What problems of yours do you blame others for?
2) What kind of questions would you ask people if they caused you problems?

11 Ways to Love.
Doors slamming,
Voices screaming,
Hits landing,
Slaps scorching,
Eyes staring,
All before,
Lips meeting,
Hands grasping,
Doors slamming.
"No,"
One word that
Bites with a vengeance,
A youth screaming back
"I hate you!"
A door slamming shut
And a tear falling,
As a mother cries,
Whispering 3 words
Into the silence.
A fire pulsing
Through speeding veins,
As a look sends
Shivers down spines,
Beating hearts,
And small blushes,
As the truth
Is revealed.
Lingering touches,
Innocent glances,
Sweet kisses,
Loving words,
With gentle arms
Holding each other.
A man on one knee,
Kneeling at
A woman's feet,
A single box,
Black as night
Holding a future bright,
Four tumbling words,
An answer
Marking the
Wondrous occasion.
Watching
And caring,
But never overbearing,
Never confronting,
Only open staring,
Easily hidden,
But quickly
Overwhelming.
Caring and adoring,
Some call it obsession,
Always watching
And cheering on,
One of many,
Always there
If needed.
Some call it taboo,
Others believe us cursed,
We aren't alone though,
There are many like us,
Why don't they understand
That we are just like them,
We may be
The same sex,
But that doesn't stop us.
Staring out
The foggy window,
Dreaming of fantasies
That would never
Come true,
An eraser hitting my head,
Knocking me into reality,
Only to look,
Into the eyes
Of my dream,
As my heart
Skips again.
Smiles and tears,
At the new
Promises made,
The vows said,
Gives bliss
To the future,
Nothing can ruin
This moment,
It is ours,
Forever.
I promised
I'd die for you,
On that one day
Our confessions
Came into view,
We were happy,
All until you
Did something stupid,
I protected you,
I took the bullet,
I died for you.

What Have You Done Now?
This is another poem I originally wrote for an assignment...but my friend talked me out of it...but I wrote it when I was going through an emotional breakdown...While I was writing this I was crying...but I think it turned out okay...Just a warning...it's kinda dark and depressing....
Why does it hurt so much?
It hurts so badly,
Just like being skinned alive,
It didn't hurt like this before,
You were caring like a lover,
The first time I could say I was ready,
This time?I was not expecting it,
What caused it this time?
Why did you break my heart again?
You swore to me you would hold me forever,
So I gave you my heart,
I gave you my everything,
All you gave me was false hope
And some flowers,
Why do you torment me so?
I have always wanted someone like you,
Sweet kisses like candy,
Someone who would treat me right,
Do I have some sort of curse to drive you away?
Do you want me to hurt?
Do you want me to suffer?
Do you want me to cry?
These tears are for you,
But this time I won’t forgive you,
Because I can’t forget you,
I’ll let myself cry over you,
But I won’t let it control me,
I will move on,
I will hold on to the memories,
I have only one thing to ask you now,
What have you done now?

The Song Of Me
What is there to sing?
This sont that whispers in my ear,
Tauntlingly echoing in my head,
Secretly wishing for me to release it,
The words coming to my mouth
Wanting to escape from its prison,
A candy-sweet melody running in my veins, The rythm running in my eart,
My hands betraying my body
Moving with the beat,
Breathing deeply beofre opening my mouth
The words tumbling
But never once stumbling,
My voice singing the tune
Matching my beating feet,
I ignore the stares as I sing out,
The song completely consuming me,
The song of me.

First post!
I love to write poetry...I write some prose...Right now I'm working on a story called Hitman V...I would like to believe it's good...but that's what I hope...anyway...I would like to spend time working on Hitman V, so I can get farther along with it and maybe post it on either fictionpress.net or deviantart.com...Some of the websites I visit to much...
I really like Garth Nix's stuff, his writing is so interesting and enthralling...It really is entrancing...I also love to read Janet Evanovich's Stephany Plum series...they are so funny! I usually read them with my mother, because we both love them.
I love to write...but I'm not sure what I think people will think of my stuff...My stuff is usually extreamly dark and depressing, but this time I actually wrote something different...anyway... If you want to read it look in the next post from me!
Jaa Matta!
