Life will defeat adversity
Flowers will grow through concrete and stone
Cover it, smother it, burn it all down
The green will be back if you leave it alone
A forlorn serenade threads through the night,
A failure to seduce you, my dear, my opium -
The words cannot reach you.
There in your redbrick palace
(Unremarkable in the endless cascade of others)
You sit in your oblivion,
My hopes abysmal compared to your lucrative dreams.
Still I dare to ponder your demand
For a life beyond your crowded solitude,
To wonder if you will be mine
To hold, to tend to, to treasure.
Shining altruism is what you were -
Angelic in the extreme
You stood defiant in the obsidian darkness,
Ethereal light in a criminal world
All around you humanity congealed
A mass of sin and terror.
In despair you asked why -
The answer was the mere regurgitation of a myth.
But you kept your hope, it emanated from you
And for a short while, I was warmed
Elevated by your faith in life
But it could not last -
Too good for this world
You were summoned to a higher cause.
My light was extinguished
And I sank back into the world
Like you always hoped I wouldn't.
That storm-grey day in June, I will never forget.
The shimmering diamond clear drops of the rain
Made the beech leaves shine emerald, and your hair, obsidian
As I huddled under my ladybird umbrella -
Childish, but feminine, you always said -
And listened, disbelieving, to the words that you said.
Could it be true? Was I dreaming again?
It was me that you wanted all along?
Now, here in March, the dream is still here.
I curl up to you, content as a cat by the fire -
The auburn of my hair so different to the jet of yours.
Two people, so different, yet so well-matched
And still together, though they said we could not last.
Awesom
I feel your pain, the tears start to fall,
You tell me not to cry
I can't - I could no sooner halt the tides
Than stop these tears from tumbling.
Still I try, because if I don't
You'll try to hide your hurt, and it will build up
Until you can't hold it anymore.
And it won't work, I'll see start through
Through to the pain in your soul.
I can't let you hurt any more than you already do.
So I'll save my tears for a stormy day
You won't know them from the rain on my face.
Broken heart, empty soul,
Nothing left for me -
How can I have anything without you?
The world is cold, the colours dulled,
But people act like nothing is wrong.
Love falls, but life, and death, go on.
Tears trickle, each drop holds a thousand painful secrets,
The fortress of my soul surrenders to the sweet release of weeping.
Shimmering spheres of salty sadness cling to lashes half closed
Before tumbling through the still air to leave dark stains on your shirt.
You hold me, you tell me not to cry -
But you know I must, and you don't know what to say.
So you pull me closer, you stroke my hair
You wait for the flow to end, unaware that inside it will gush on forever.
It echoes down the ages
In every heart and mind
Deep in every soul
Panic reigns
When the four horsemen ride
On the dread steeds of the end of time
Panic will rise from its prison
Joining Chaos to roam the Earth
In search of Vengeance for an eternity of oppression.
You don't need to tell me you love me:
I already know.
It's there
In your smile when you see me,
In the warmth of your hand in mine
It's in
The tenderness of your arms around me
And the sweetness of your kisses on my lips.
Together or apart, I know you are always with me.
I just want you to know I will always be with you too.
I love you.

Secretly, Softly, Silently Sad
Secretly
My heart beats for one who can never know
Secretly
I yearn for him, the one I would never dare take
Silently
My heart breaks every time I see his face
Silently
I weep inside when I remember he will never be mine
Softly
My heart cries out in despair
Softly
I leave the room he never noticed I was in
Secretly, Softly, Silently, Sadly
I die inside, and he'll never know.
People ask where all the magic has gone
I simply wonder where they are looking.
Magic is everywhere
The rising sun, the ever-changing moon,
The seed that grows to a fragrant flower
The majesty of a storm
The scent of the damp earth
The roar of the sea rushing to the shore.
Magic is in the love of one person for another
In the laughter of friends when they meet
The joy of families when a baby is born
And the simple thrill of being alive.
The magic never left us
Only our our ability to perceive it.
People say I can't do things.
They say I'm too young, too old,
Too short, too tall,
Too wise, or not wise enough,
Too weak, too small, too female.
And I tell them
I CAN.
I can hold back tides if I only try
I can catch a single raindrop in my hand
I can move mountains with my will
If a person can change the world
Then that person is going to be me.
I can do anything I can imagine.
And there is no-one in this world can stop me.

Sweet shop, ice pop,
Feel sick, run quick
To the
Playground, run round
Slip slide, go hide,
Gets dark, leave park
Race you
Home soon, cartoon,
Time for bed, sleepyhead
This is a note to me
To stop me screwing up again
This is a note to me
Because I really don't need the pain.
Sometimes goodbye means forever
And it's really not worth the chase
Sometimes he really means 'No'
And pursuit is simply a waste.
If I cry, it means he's not worth the tears
The right guy will not make me weep
It may seem hard, but it's best to just leave him
The cost of staying is just too damn steep.
A heart that was never whole to start with
Is harder to break, it's true
But the pieces can still chip or shatter
Even after all I've been through...
This is a note to me
Though I know its impact is lost
Because I alway
No-body talks about cheese,
And this comes as a great surprise-
Just think of what cheese has done for us,
Maybe Nature's tastiest prize.
Tangy or creamy,
Mild or mellow.
Blue or white,
Orange or yellow.
Use it in pasta,
Melt it on toast,
Mix it with mash,
Where I like it the most...
Cheese sauce,
Cheesecakes,
On top of lasagne,
While it bakes.
So what is my point?
It's really quite clear:
Cheese is a great food
All through the year!
Little guys
Extremely lively
Practical jokers
Rather fun
Extraordinary creatures
Cheeky as hell
Happy when they have gold
Awesome Irish accents
Unusual gifts
Not often seen
What did you do that for?
Look what you did.
You split it - don't look at me like that!
That sad little face won't work this time
No! Stop it! That's not fair!
Na na I'm not looking
Can't see you so that look won't work
Nuh-uh, I'm not peeking!
Well maybe a little...
Not talking to you anyway
No I'm not, 'cos I'm mad at you
Not the face again!
Well maybe if you fetch me another I'll be friends again
What do you mean, you'll tell my Mum?
No no no don't do that, that's not fair!
You'll give me a bit of yours?
Ok, fine.
That's what I wanted anyway
Haha tricked you!
What was that?
That thought I just had...
It loiters on the fringe of my mind -
Teasing, tempting, and oh so tantalising,
It hovers just out of reach
Just beyond the grasp of memory.
And now I know this was a special thought
Why didn't I write it down while I had it?
It was important dammit!
Almost got it, nearly there...
No, it's gone.
Lost forever.
I hope you're happy.

So, a lot has happened since October.
For starters, I discovered that Bangor is one of the most boring places I have ever been, and Bristol is one of the most exciting. So I got myself a transfer into next year's 2nd year. It wasn't easy, but I did.
I'm still with Matthew, unsurprisingly since I love him more than everything else in the universe put together, and we've got a little flat sorted for next year. It's in pretty much THE most convenient place possible, and its only apparent flaw is that it doesn't have its own washing machine. But with a laundrette about 100 yards from the front door, that's not too big of a problem.
I'm now i
Saw this and thought it was sweet. FYI, I don't repost stuff I think is crappy because it says I'll have bad luck at the end.
