The Monster I Miss



I loved being a little kid and the worst thing I knew was falling of the swing at the park. I loved being upset over nothing and you would pick me up, look me in the eyes, and say "Beautiful, SMILE!" Then you would put me on the floor and tickle me. I would giggle and giggle calling you the perfect monster. Where did you go anyway?

The Scene for the Silver Screen




All of your friends are in your head because all your life the real people have told you that you aren't good enough for them. I know how you feel, I am the exact same way, so if you want I'll be the ghost haunting you and you can be the shadow following me. That way neither of us have to be alone again,” She whispered to the statue at the gate of Lilac Cemetery every single time she passed. Then she walks straight to the headstone of Andrew Montgomery, an old friend of hers who died of suicide when he was seventeen.

As she reads the epitaph she begins to weep because his parents chose a stanza of one of her poems, her favorite in fact:

Andrew Montgomery
July 13, 1995- October 15, 2012

Rage, Rage little star
why can't I be the one so far?
Anything to get away
from this hell begging me to stay.


“Andrew, you always wanted to be among the stars, and now you got your wish. I love you still even though the others have forgotten you and everything you went through for us. God, everyone said you were the one going places, not me. Andrew, nothing is the same without you. Why did you even do it? I thought we always said that we had each other so that this type of thing wouldn't happen! Andrew! How could you?” As she screams through sad little sobs her love's ghost stands behind her with a look of torment in his eye.

He stands tall, facing the stone knowing what he must do, “Baby, I had to. They were going to take you instead. Everyone would have thought that you were the druggie, they would have hated you for things you didn't do. And then, Baby, then I would have died anyway because life isn't worth anything without you. Especially if I know that I could have stopped it in anyway.” He speaks calmly even though she'll never hear him and he knows that. “Babygirl, my sweet, sweet Babygirl, I love you. Please pick your head up for me.” Slowly, as he speaks he gets on his knees and wraps his safe arms around her. She feels something, though she doesn't know what, cold around her and shutters in her place.

With a sigh she mutters, “I know angels are always by my side. That's why I am still alive, but Andrew, oh Andrew... I love you.”

Right on cue, her alarm clock goes off and Savannah wakes up from her third terrible dream. Three nights in a row she had tasted the salt in her tears when she awoke. God, how could anyone live like that. On her way to the bus stop she runs into Andrew -alive- and hugs him with tears in her eyes. “What's wrong, Baby?” He asks as he pulls her tight and close. Though as he does so, he tripped into the road. An on coming car was going too fast and didn't have time to stop for them. It ran right over them. Neither felt any pain and both were instantly gone. At least she would cry no more tears and he had nothing left to fear.

It's such a shame that he knew the person driving that stupid red Nissan car that ran them over. And it's so sad to think that he was going to die that day anyway, just to save her life even if it did absolutely nothing other than postpone her own departure. I hope they are happy together wherever they may be. And I will forever remember them and send my poor enslaved heart their way.

The Emotions Kill us Too




The day I met you I was afraid of you making fun of me or being the big bad guy ready to torment the tiny, meek girl. The day I met you I made a mistake in saying that you were weird, The day I met you, you caught my eye. Then the next Friday my heart broke and I saw you as a true friend. The day my heart broke I learned that other people actually care. The day my heart broke I think you picked up a piece of it and wrote your name on it. A week later I think I fell in love with you. The day I fell in love with you, I hope you at least thought you could like me too.

The Way She Cries



It's not that she likes the crystal slicing open her flesh or the sticky crimson dribbling down her wrist, but rather she is addicted to the pain and the simplicity of others. Don't say that it's her fault, because her parents, school mates, and teachers are to blame. No one did anything other than tear her down, no one ever cared about her, so why should she start now? And every night she cries herself to sleep, just to please the monsters.

The Box Under the Bed



Everything you ever gave me, all the notes I wrote but never sent, all the pieces of you that you slid in my pocket week after week, I never thought I could miss that or you so much.

The Clearly Labled



I was trying to find a puzzle (you) missing a small piece (me) and when I saw you my soul just smiled, "That's the one. Why did it take so long to find you?"

Anything you want to see is what you will see. Especially when you know exactly what it is you want.

The Bookshelf's Empty



I guess all my memories are gone... they burst into flames.
      I guess my days don't matter anymore... I'm just here to entertain.
   I guess I read everything I have... it's all really boring now.

The Nursery Rhyme Rewritten




Twinkle, twinkle little star

Last night I wondered where you are
Nothing is the same now
That you've left us nothing to wow.



Scream, scream little star
Dont you know youre my favorite scar
Left me broken down
Made me a joke in this stupid town.



Rage, rage little star
Why cant I be the one so far
Anything to get away
From this hell begging me to stay.



Whisper, whisper little star
Release us from this world of tar
You cant leave us here
Not when you are what we fear.



Live, live little star
What if love is all we are
Tell us everything's alright
We have you till dawn's sweet light.

The Mermaids Exist Too



Next time you're standing on the shore wondering if you should sink or swim listen to the waves chasing each other to the rocks. Pick up a seashell and watch it smile as it grazes your perfection - the tan skin and gorgeous scares you wasted all that time to hide. The world is beautiful do you really want to leave it now?

The Photos are black and White



It's been decades since I truly knew you last and just because time has passed does not mean that I am going to forget. Any time I close my eyes  I see your crooked smile, warm chocolate eyes, jet black hair sticking out from your favorite hat, and I also see the scares from all those blades that ever so narrowly missed your heart all those years before me.

The Day You Found This




The day you found this was the day I died and my story refused to end. The day you found this was the day I was born and I was just an addition, an extra, in a play that had already begun without me. That was    the day people learned that its okay to cry as long as you remember to smile your life but somehow it still haunts you like the first time you fought your parents because you had a bad day at school. And we will both remember that day forever because there is nothing better to occupy out time on this grim planet people call Earth.

The Need To Smile Love




I
Love you
More than life.

The
Sun rises
To mend hearts

Smile,
You are
Perfect to us

Look,
All is
Well here, Love.

You 
Are gorgeous
Like the moon

And
Thank you
My midnight angel.

The Smile Hasn't Gone Away

You have an odd way of looking at things, but since talking to you last night I haven't stopped laughing. Thank you. Maybe I am perfect to someone out there.

The Change of pace

There are so many things I would like to say to you and there are so many events I would like to forget because they contain you- too much of you. Each night I lay awake in bed and I feel as though I cannot breathe, cannot think, or even continue to be. I miss you, when we do I get to tell you that feel as though I could become drunk on your words from hearing too many unable to sooth the beast that I have become. And I only wish I were strong enough to handle this monstrosity I somehow brought upon myself. Too many things cloud my mind and sometimes, sometimes in the darkest moment of the midnight hour I wonder if I truly am hung up –inebriated even on your words, rather than you r lack of love for you or for me. It kills me knowing that I could have possibly given up all innocence and trust I ever earned from you, because there are too many things I have done, thought, and shown that would never fly in the minds of a true soul.

Perhaps it would make sense to you if I simply said I love you and let it go. For the sake of my sanity, I cannot do as you wish. It is different to say the words than it is to mean them, just as it is worlds different when you can feel them truly believe them instead of merely hearing the few painful syllables as it is. One too many things could happen should a soul be so lost as I am here. Far too many people would be spared from the numerous heartaches each moment if only someone else thought like me. And in a way I think it would be simple, even nice to know what it feels like to give someone your all and to have them return it with their own soul. That is the unbreakable bond that is truly love.

Yes, I am aware, fully aware that you have loved the wrong person, you have been hurt and somebody broke you apart. At least they didn’t have the strength to shatter you , to completely destroy what little hope you might have left. And love, I know what that feels like, I gave my soul so easily to you and you forget it is even there. To pretend to understand you would be foolish of me, a game to play perhaps; I am absolutely not so vial as to go that route. However I need you to know that I am trying to relate and I do know the pain of loving and being loved by someone who does not matter to you in the slightest. So do tell me now, do you love me, do you hate me? Am I even worth an inkling of your precious time?

Before I let you go, as I am about to, I have only one last thing to say. If I were to take my own life at the point of a silver blade, if I were to love and let that love stab me in the back until my entire world faded black, would you even know that I was gone? Would the lack of a bond grow strong and the frail thin edge of your heart I have earned ache with my absence? Now, I shall let you leave me and I shall let you steal what little breath I have left as I bid you farewell from knowing that I failed to have any importance to you.

Just something that happened. I don't know why I wrote it.

The Question haunts

Have I ever wanted you outside of my dreams? Of course! Have you ever wanted me in your dreams? Never.

The Last Straw Was Made of Sugar

They always say that people misuse the phrase "i love you" but i dont know what else there is to say to you. You have stolen my heart in the very best way and I am so much better of a person when i am with you. And when I am with you I am speachless but in a marvelous way. And i really just want you to know each time.that i smile it has something to.do with you.
