FreeI always hoped someday I'd be free,But here I am trapped behind bars you won't see.I want you to look but you won't even try,You just go away as I fight not to cry.The wrongness is there in my mind, so they say.Every day I struggle and fight it, but it won't go away.Still you ignore it and won't even look,Blind as the three mice from the fairy tale book.Just when I think everything is okay,That's when you decide it's time to go away.The silence tears at me even more than before,And that's when I look for that final, black door.I want to be happy and I want to be free,But I'll always be trapped as long as you can't se
AbsolutionAnother face rises in my mind, and I answer its accusing glare with a flash of my blade.Red blood wells from the cut and fills my senses, driving the pain from my soul.SliceDon't let the pain stop. When the pain stops is when we forget.Forget everything we are guilty of, everything that makes us undeserving of happinessSliceI sent him away so I could do this, he thinks he's off getting food for dinner, but he isn'tHe's getting me time to go through the pain, to keep myself from forgettingDon't come back yet, my love. I can't stand you seeing me like thisSliceBut I can't stop, can't let the pain stop. Can't let myself forge
Sacrifices Claimed by VictoryTear drops splatter on the ground like rain. There is nothing left for the universe to see, to show that we were ever here.~x~x~x~x~You said that you would show me the way, that you would protect my heart, but then you turned aside when I stumbled. Turned aside and left me to die. I didn't die, I survived to conquer the Republic that had meant more to you than me. I crushed your illusions, destroyed everything you loved. Anything to make you feel the pain you have put me through. A million miles and one lost soul later, you return for me."Why now?" I scream my anger, oh, how it has grown in these years! I cannot control my darkness, I c

ThanksgivingI'm thankful for the days that see me happy.I'm thankful for the days that see me sad.I'm thankful for the friends who are like family.I'm thankful for the love I never thought I'd have.I'm thankful for the days soaked warm with sunshine.I'm thankful for the days drenched cold with rain.I'm thankful for the days that see me "normal".I'm thankful for the days that see me stuck in bed with pain.I'm thankful for the nights of pure black darkness.I'm thankful for the dawns that prove I'm not blind.I'm thankful for the contrast of all these things.I'm thankful for today, to be alive.
Death of an ExileMy life I lay in your hands,My dreams, counting like the many sands.I trust in you, believe in you.I will myself forever to be true.But here I wait, I stand aside,I let you go on the dawn's first tide.Fly away, hopeful thoughts to nestSecret within the heart in my breast.Remember me, when the wind sings a sigh,Remember me, when my wings flutter by.I could have had anything if I only would be dark,But now I can but fade like the sun's last mark.It should have been my place there, with my own kind,But here's where I stay, among the ash and the pine.I hear the sigh of the sea as it sings out its song,I hear the sigh
Between the LeavesThat I may be the lady for you,My royal knight, with heart so true -Never before have I wished for such a thing,But the mere thought of you makes my blood start to sing.Perhaps my words are forward, even so,To stop loving you would be to kill me, this we both know.Many will cry, "how horrid! this plain human girl with an elven sprite!"But do you feel that anything could be more right?The moment we met in my soul is enshrined,How beautiful you were, how wise, warm and kind.Your soft almond eyes watching me from the trees,The only break in our silence a whisper of breeze.Why did you follow after this poor warrior's child
Love is BlindMy ears do not hear,My eyes do not see,But my heart still feels love,And so I am free.Love without limits, love without bars,Love that is joyful, love beyond rage.This I have found, and this I do know:Love unlocked the door of my heart's lonely cage.I will not listen to the anger screamed in my face,I will not allow my soul to know fear.I am whole, I am loved.This is right, to have my love by me here.Take a moment, stand with me.Hear through my ears, see through my eyes.Do you understand the truth of my world,That love sees beyond all disguise?You can fight it, deny it, run away out of fear;Lock up mind and h
Loyalty"I happen to be a very loyal person, up until someone expects me to die for failing." The assassin says more, but the words never reach my ears as I roll the thought over and over in my mind.Something about him reminds me of the first friend I made in the Tower, a skinny boy with pale skin and dirty-blonde hair pulled back from a long, narrow face into a short tail. Almost a decade gapped between us, an age difference insurmountable between most teenage boys and little girls, but there was something more to it; even within our community of pariahs, of those already imprisoned beyond the edge of life, we were outcasts. Me, the ragged elven c
