[b]What is Love[/b]
[spoiler]Is it the journey to discover bliss
With someone who takes the time
To walk slow and cherish every kiss
Is it this struggle called life
And knowing they are by your side
Holding your hand through all the strife
Is it healing the broken
A melding of heart and of soul
Present even when left unspoken
Or is it just an endless pursuit
Searching for someone, for something
Yet knowing deep down, you'll never taste the fruit[/spoiler]
-Inspired by Æ's [i]What does love mean to you[/i] thread
[b]Lost[/b]
[spoiler]I'm walking around an empty shell
Of the person I was before
You gave me back what I once had
But I'm not that person anymore
Every song that comes on the radio
Tells the story of you and me
What we had, what could have been
And what now will never be
The bond we had was deep
But the hurt is just too strong
I want so bad to fix it all
And get back where we belong
Losing you means I've lost everything
My hope left with my best friend
There's no fire left in my soul
I just want this emptiness to end[/spoiler]
[b]Looking Back[/b]
[spoiler]Looking back I see a girl
Full of life and innocence
A tiny being in a limitless world
Filled with such a pure essence
Looking back I see a shadow
The memories are distorted
But in my dreams it's crystal clear
Those crimes stay unreported
Looking back I see a girl
Trying to move passed the past
Growing, changing, ever healing
Ignoring the questions left unasked
Looking back I see a shadow
Alone, abandoned and betrayed
Lost in a world she wasn't expecting
Surrounded by pain she cannot evade
Looking back I see a girl
Chasing a glimmer of hope
Finally finding herself deep inside
And finally able to cope
Looking back I see a shadow
Fragments of what used to be
Was that the final chance she'd get?
She'll have to wait to see

Mystery [quote]Maybe it's the mystery that attracts me. Those lingering questions that keep me up; when sleep would otherwise come easy; Of whether the symbols are words or just pictures. Yet "a picture tells a thousand words," So they say, but like a foreign language, their meaning is sometimes lost to Petty insecurities and assumptions. The spirit rises to think that maybe, It has woken and is free; From chains of love that bind the weak. "Maybe love was holding me back from more." But then it falls so suddenly down, A tumble back to the memory of lust, not remembering where it travelled from there. Only taking me by a slender hand into the dark. The symbols shimmer in the light, As if their meaning dances away to evade anyone willing to decipher what lies beneath. Truth lies dormant, somewhere far away.[/quote] The Second Departure [spoiler]There's something wrong. "Turning and turning in the widening gyre." Doesn't the cold unnerve you? The lingering doubt in your mind? It's coming up to the surface, "The Falcon cannot hear the Falconer" A shifting leviathan of malice charges upwards; Out of the dark abyss And so we fall now, unto this dark. "Things fall apart, the centre cannot hold" Dragged down by a serpent of self reflection To stare into the eyes of that lifeless thing. The lights are turning off; "Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world" The armless embrace holds you still. There's something wrong.[/spoiler]
