Dear justagirlDear Justagirl,
I've been meaning to write this to you for quite some time. I've always wished that I could make you see just who you really are. But you never listen. So maybe you'll hear me in this letter to who you claim to be.

You're not just any girl. Not at all. Your silence brings beauty to the words of others. Your words crack open the things left unsaid, and shine light on all the places few dare look. You have a way about you that whispers of a majesty, and yet you always hold others up beyond yourself.

Your eyes could scratch past the surface of the "he

Wateredup Phrasesi still think i'm sundrenched thoughts
and wateredup phrases of longfound dreams.
i still remember those starlit nightskies
and whispered iloveyous found beaten
on the corners of broken curbs.
i can't escape these thoughtsideaswords
that shine from your moonlight eyes:
i am whispered conversations in a smile.

Rewind TimeI gaze into your
crystalline eyes and
wish I could turn back the
clock
to the time when
you loved me
as much as I loved
you.

(but you always say that clocks
can't be turned back.
I wonder
if you're right.)

Malicious smiles and
greedy words;
you're not the person
you started out
to be.
I miss
who you were
before this all went
downhill.

I never noticed before now
but I miss the
sweet whispers of,
"I love you,"
and your eyes;
your beautiful eyes.

Rewinding time
would be so much easier
than all this regret
I keep pent up inside
and all the memories
I force myself
to lock away.

(I

glittering sunshine into winter woods
and breathing summer into autumn days

always where i wish i were
waiting on a dawnlight never comes

never comes never comes

always right here where my heart

in the midst of daylightstars

Dewdrop TearsYou've got dewdrop tears
    and sunlit hair.
A whispered glow
    from one more year...

I've seen you here
    with all your fears.
A starbright heart
  cause he's so near...

You know you're all
    that I can hear.
These are the words,
   You'll read, so fair.

in which reality is painted

Truth Is What You'll Findthe truth is, i never really know.
i don't know what i'm feeling,
or why my heart skips three beats
when she walks down hallways
that i've never even seen.

the truth is, that somedays i
feel like i'm holding air,
bottling feelings till they explode.
whispering secrets to the night sky
and wishing i could feel.

i don't know what i'm not saying,
and i wish that i could hold her.
but that can't happen. it's not possible.
i can't be there when the sun sets;

all this fear is seeping out
of the wholes that i thought
i closed up so very long ago.
and i don't know what to think.

the truth is: i don't know
the secret is: i wish i di

The Letter Nn

nightsky dreams and
never spoken whispers:
the many meanings
attached to peopleplacesthings.

echoes of wisdom
found in the emptiness
between the stars:
beginnings of a definition
of who someone ought to be.

Is there any power in a name?

Just LettersBut I'm just letters,
That you'll never see.
I'm just words typed
On a blank screen,
The shining bright white
Staring back at me.

Numbers dialing nowhere
Won't reach me,
And whispered "iloveyous"
On the radio signal
Can't reach into
The Faraday cage that
I call my heart.

Cause I'm just a deaf man,
Lying on the backstreet,
Hoping there is no one
Mistaking me for dead:
But you've known
That's all I am inside.

Maybe I'm Dreamingmaybe i'm dreaming,
but if i'm dreaming of you
then why should i care?

Here We AreAnd here I stand again,
whispering words I know
that she will never hear:

It's drowned out by a
shriveling darkness of words
so harsh and broken.

When I speak of beauty,
she hears shouts of emptiness.

When I whisper love,
she only finds hatred

Life and LoveThe thing about life,
Is no one understands it
Once the moment's passed.

the thing about love,
Is that it's always worth it
Until it's over.

Starlit DreamStarlight dancer
On the moonbright windowsill,
with delicate lace-tendrils
twined against her tender frame.
Whispers of moonlight
float across her eyes,
smothering the sunset
amidst her frosted gaze.

She hears the sound
Of sundown and sunrise,
amidst the colors in
her tired eyes.
ballerinas pirouette their illusions
to nature's lightening strike,
beneath her ebony, shadow sky,
with shooting stars spelling dreams.

Dreams of words and colors,
and whispers of wonder.
with hollow gems of tear-water
wrapping around her cheekbone.
her dreams are slipping away.

Words left unsaidone.

I wish you could see that you aren't empty. You're not worthless. But everytime you say it, you just forget a little bit more. I can't hold you up forever. I won't always be around.

[You have to learn to live your own life, I can't keep doing it for you]

two.

I still remember those sun drenched days, and starry nights. I still remember your voice, and the words we used to say. And sometimes I still remember the regret and pain. I try not to, but I can't help it. I prayed for you the other night. I wish you weren't so gone, even when you're not.

[How can so much regret remain?]

TW Chapter 14 - MemoriesDrew broke the long silence hovering over the room, "Are you sure you're willing to do this?"

Miranda said... "I must do this thing. No other is near capable enough. We've seen the trials."

Drew said, "Yes... I saw, but... the dangers. Aren't you afraid?"

She waited for a moment, before saying, "Are you?" For a long moment, the silence stretched across the air between them. The room was dark, save for a few lanterns, and nearly empty. Their voices echoed back to them breaking the silence for a moment. Only a few others, dead silent, were standing around.

The task was simple, she was to be the lock that held a prison. It wasn't rea

To You, Oh LordI'm a dying man
Falling on his knees
Won't you come to me?
Cause I don't want to
     Bow to them...
Let all the world fade
     Away
In my broken selfishness
So you will come to me.
Do I want you?
     But I know I need you...
In all your grace.
So empty me,
     That I will stand
And fall only for you.
Not for these words
     Or for the pleasures
Of my voice and all
     My songs.
I wanna sing to
     You
Because to you is
