Sharp brush
Pale Canvas
A line of red paint.
The paint fades to brown.
The painter paints more.
It stains the water, fills it with red.
More red paint.
Then, a sudden splatter of black paint.
The painter’s vision is complete.
I'm sitting here at my desk at work in Rockford. A blanket of white coats every imaginable surface outside the window behind me.
I miss her.
I browse various social networking sites as my shift passes, waiting for the phone to ring so I can pick up and offer my assistance. When it does ring, it is inevitably a student who has become locked out of their account or needs a change of password.
I miss her.
I read through my friends' facebook statuses and tumblr posts. They make comments about how they're spending time with their friends or how they hate their classes, or in one case, going out with their mothers to lunch.
I miss her, and the
Purple angels
Dance inside your eyes
Glittering sadness
We say our goodbyes
You disappear
In the smoke of the night
You tell me you love me
And you head towards the light
Life is so empty
Life is so weak
Your time on this earth
Made the world far less bleak
Now that you're gone
All I can do is wish you were here again
Eternal sleep
Has become your best friend
It's harder than ever
To evade these tears
You knew all my weaknesses
You knew all my fears
This pain that I'm left with
Is too much to bear
I look for my mother
But you aren't there.
Out on a beach
Frogs crawling on sand
You're out of reach
It's out of our han
I see the pain behind your eyes
Clear as day
Black as night
I want to break through your disguise
So I pray
That you might
Let me in
Let me in
Let me see the real you
The person that's lost and broken
Let me help
Let me help
Give me the chance
To make you whole again
These aren't words of romance
These aren't words of love
These are simply the words
Of someone who cares
A friend who wants your trust
So let me in
Let me in
Let me help you breathe again
Let me help you smile
Let me make your life better
Thing are hard right now, I know
But you're stronger than you think
Let me show you
Let me heal you.
Just say the w
It's funny how words- little, insignificant words, can have a deep, profound effect on you. They can wound you, make you bleed out until the blood fills every part of your body, overwhelming you. And even after the apologies are made, and everything is said and done, and you know the person who said those words that hurt you so meant nothing by it, they still cut like a knife every time you think of them, everytime you hear similar words uttered from the lips of another. And it hurts. You become paranoid, obsessed with them, until they haunt your every thought, every beat of your heart.
I have had such an experience with words.
They tear me
Alone
Such a simple word
Five letters
But those letters hold more
Pain and sorrow in them
Than you could possible imagine
Centuries of alone
Milennia of people just like me
Wishing for something
Anything.
To take the alone away
But it will not leave
Not without great sacrifice
Is the sacrifice worth it?
To free the alone from your body
Your soul?
Would you do anything?
Don't you know a cry for help when you see one?

The raven sat in the bell-tower of the Cathedral, a matchbox and a can of gasoline in either hand. She stared down at the people walking hurriedly past the church, some entering. There was a cell phone the color of a rusted pipe clipped to her belt. She put the matchbox on the ledge where she was sitting and opened it, pressing two buttons quickly, proceeding to make a call. "We're Clear" The voice on the other line informed her. "The congregation is all inside. They think they're at an emergency meeting. Are you ready, Ravenscar?" Ravenscar. That was the girl's surname. She didn't answer for a moment, instead looking up at the sky, and then
I haven't written in this in a year.
