Tears Pour from my Heart

2007-11-08T02:14:13Z

It’s been a month since I last saw his face. In some place other than just my memory, or in pictures. Even at the funeral, where I was almost kept out, it felt like I’d died, instead of him. Like my body was lying, motionless, lifeless, instead of his. I feel the warm salty rivers running down my cheeks, as I think about him, once more. Everything I see is hazy with my tears in my eyes, and everything I can see through the haze is a new attempt at suicide. The desk, the paperclip, the pen in my damp hand at wiping away the tears, the peice of beige yarn that’s on the floor.
A teacher comes to me, with open arms, trying to comfort me.
Do you need to go outside for a drink of water?
That’s when I realize; It’s science class. Thirty pairs of eyes staring at me, like I’m a freak.
No I sniffle, and wipe more rivers of pain off my face, trying to look strong.
What I really needed was my best friend, my love, my…well, my everything, but the only way I could have him back, was if I was in a casket too

Science of Friendship

2007-11-08T01:12:21Z

It’s funny how, when you’re younger and, you seem to have so many friends and then, after a while, the crowd of friends seems to thin, and you’re left with only a few standing by your side. Those who’ve been loyal to you, through everything. Then, a while after that, you seem to notice that, even those friends who were always there for you, always picked you first, sort of drift towards each other, and watch you, like you’re some sort of rare animal on exihbit.
Your species? Friendless. Genus? Betrayed. Class? Hurt. Phylum? Bitter. Kingdom? Human.
In the end, you’re always left on your own, and even those who you thought would always be there for you, left, to find other friends, to ban against you, because, you don’t belong. Even in a crowd of outcasts, you trump them all because, in the end, you never seem to belong. You always seem to be removed from them. Like you’re not good enough.
It is, the human condition to be lonley. I guess I’m more human than I realized.

School attraction.

“Can anyone tell me what the correct answer is? How about you, Mr. Carter,” my damned history teacher, Ms. Garcia asked me. I hated the woman. With her curly red hair, cut short to her shoulders, her large, emerald green eyes, and the freckles that splotched across her rosy cheeks, small nose, and pale skin, down her slender neck, a string of elegant pearls always occupying that neck, and into the collar of her very tantalizing low-cut white blouse.
Gawd, I hated her.
“Well, uh…” I began, not really sure what the question was in the first place, ” Like…”
Ms. Garcia sighed, before turning away from me. Good, the bitch. But man, she was a really hawt bitch.
“I know you can answer that, Ms. Grover.”
While Caraline, the class wizz, answered the question I couldn’t, Ms. Garcia bent down low at my ear, her soft murmer tickling it.
“See me after class,” she whispered, a smile playing at the lips I was just dying to kiss.
When the bell rang, I ran straight to her desk.

Break up post-it.

2007-10-12T23:47:30Z

“Just a note!?” I asked frantically.
“Yeah,” Jimmster, by best bud, shrugged, “just a note.”
I looked at the tiny peice of paper in my hand, shocking pink…a post-it note.
“What do you think it is?” I asked him, my brown eyes searching his glassy blue ones.
“The hell would I know,” was his response, his eyes on his shoes now…oh, the hell he _did know.
“Fine,” was all I said, my freckle-splothed nose in the air.
Today was my birthday…my sixteenth birthday, and I was certainly expecting more from my boyfriend of three years, Ricky. I mean, true, today, he was fficially two years younger than me, until he turned fifteen in December but, I mean, a _post-it? How unsensitive was that?
But, I decided to open the note….
Dear Elle, sorry babe but…I don’t wanna be with you…
See you around…

Ricky

“What a lovely birthday present I got from him,” I said lightly, my eyes already brimming with tears…

Oh, was I going to get revenge, if it took to my very last birthday I would.

Dedication To Nik

2007-09-02T20:34:16Z

The darkness surrounds me;
Black. It is all I can see.
The pain wraps it slender arms around me,
drowning me, burning me, till I can no longer flee.
Fear comes upon me,
In waves, like the sea,
It is all I can speak,
Making everything seem bleak.

But then you are there,
so lovely and kind and fair.
You take me from the darkness;
The pain;
The fear.
Everything is bright and warm,
All becomes clear.
You are my sun, my comfort, in days.

The Raindrain

2007-06-04T03:48:19Z

‘You do it.’
‘No way!You do it!’
‘I’ll do it,’said a voice.This voice belonged to Morgan Sienna.Neighborhood badass extrordenaire, she stepped out from the neighborhoodkids who were peering down nervously at the unlided rain drain.
‘Oh no Morgan,dont do it!The mole people will get you!’ said Morgan’s best friend Tina.
Morgan stared at Tina. Here was this girl who didnt even believe in cloning, but has been afraid of mole people since forever.
Morgan stared at the dark hole as if it was a portal into the underworld.She was very apprehensive about this,but decided to do it.She looked up, nodded at Tina and the other neighborhood children,and jumped in.

Past Memories

2007-06-01T19:30:46Z

As I walked down the road, hand in hand with Marvin, a car passed us by slowly. The driver had thier window tinted a deep black,opaque.It passed us by in a moment,and as I saw the liscense plate,California, I knew it was all over.I had tried,and it had almost worked,but to no avail.I could never get away from my past.
“Lily,what’s wrong?”Marvin asked as I had stopped walking.
“Tell me.”
He started his process of trying to tell him by slowly running his lips on my neck;like a breeze,barely there.Then he started kissing there in earnest,my only weak spot.As I hadn’t budged yet,his lips moved to my mine,and there we were, totally making out in the middle of the road.
Finally he stopped,and then asked me again what was wrong.I kept skaking my head, tellong him no, but also warding off the memories that were already trying to surface.Memories that I had shut out of my life for a reason.
“Marvin,”I started,”Marvin,I love you so much.But I have to go now.Forever.”
And I walked away from Marvin.

Get Out of the Road

2007-05-29T20:44:15Z

I saw a man with silver hair and white eyes. He was beautiful and scary all at the same time. He had me in a very small and dark cell. He was so very close to me, his face near my jawline.He was whispering something to me so lightly i could barely hear it.
‘Do not upset me. Do not upset Demitri, or there will be grave consequenses for Jordan.’
My face went totally blank while my mind was in turmoil.Who was this man and how does he know Jordan?
‘And remember, eat. You need to be healthy.’
My vision started clouding again and my entire body was bieng compacted again. The vision had ended.
‘Are you fucking retarded!? Get out of the road!’ an angry man yelled.
I ran out of the street, deeply embarassed, but also deeply troubled. Who would want to kidnap me? Who would kidnap Jordan? When would this happen?
I never thought about how I could get out of this, because my visions always came true.

Him

2007-05-25T22:25:36Z

I was lying on the ground in the same position has he had left me in before. It had felt like days since I saw him last, or it could have just been hours. My mind was in a haze from lack of food and the pain in my head. I felt sticky and stiff, and the little light I had in my cell was too bright.I had been in this predicament for hours when I heard my door bieng unlocked and expensive shoes clicking on the disgusting floor.
‘I have food. Get up.’
It was him. His voice, low and like a growl, soft but deadly. I could disobey my interroggerator, but not his master.His master had become like God in the last…however long I had been here.
I got up slowly and saw that he was crouching down so I could look him in the eye. His beautiful silver hair was in a ponytail down his back and his white eyes, not even the most remarkable thing about him, were peering at me.
‘Eat,’ he commanded.
‘Why?’ My voice sounded croaky and scratchy.It hurt to speak.
‘Because you need strength to enter you new life.’

Vision

2007-05-25T22:11:28Z

My mind went blank and suddenly I felt very overwhelmed.
‘O-Over?’My voice sounded very weak and hoarse.
‘Yes. Now go home.I think you need to anylyze what’s really important to you and that you have to sacrafice certain things to keep said important things.’
With that he strode away.I heard everything he just said, but the only thing that registered were those very evil 2 words:We’re over.
When it finally registered in my head that Jordan had walked away, I decided to pursue him to talk to him.
I was in the middle of crossing the road when my body went rigid. My sight was clouding my awareness of anything other than the pain of every atom in my body bieng compacted was ebbing.
I was going into a vision. In the middle of the road. While trying to get Jordan back.
Shit.

Truth

2007-05-25T22:00:03Z

‘Well, you see,um…’
‘Just tell me already,’ Jordan sighed.
‘I saw it teetering and it looked like you would be crushed if it fell. So I came running and pushed you out of the way,’ I said brightly. I hope he believed me.
Jordan scrutenized me for a moment, then said,’If that were true then you wouldn’t have to have stalled.’
Damn. I shouldn’t fall in love with smart people anymore.
He continued,’However, seeing as i doubt your going to elaborate, I won’t question you anymore about it,’and with that he walked off.
‘Are you pissed at me?’I asked once I cought up to him.
‘Yes.’
We were quiet for a moment and then he burst out,’Why can’t you tell me!? I love you, but it’s been like this since the very beggining!’
‘What has?’
‘This!This constant lying and avoiding the truth.This isn’t the first time this has happened.’
‘Well, maybe some things are better left to myself.’
‘Well then maybe you should be left to yourself.We’re over.’

danger

He grabbed me by the wrists and pulled me close to his face.
‘Never. Again. Never, kick me, or you will have worse injuries than a bleeding head.’
His face was contorted in rage, his beautiful features marred by peircing anger. His blonde hair seemed to glow and radiate by his ferocity, and his violet eyes seemed to have gone coal black.
My body was still close to his, and I was starting to get dizzy from bieng so close to him. The air around us was charged, and the usually freezing atmosphere had suddenly turned steaming. Though it might have just been the kick to the head that was making me feel that way.
He threw me away from him and I landed on the stone. Hard. He spit near my sprawled body and walked away. Before he left out the door, he said, ’ Dont’ worry. He’ll be hearing about this inscolencse.” Then he walked away and I heard the click of the door bieng locked.
Yes, it seemed that I was attracted to my captor, interroggerator, and torturer.He was dangerous, and that attracted me.

Jordan

2007-05-25T18:22:08Z

I ran with all the speed that genetics gifted me with. My curly red hair streamed behind me like a fiery banner and my emerald eyes were set on the goal: Jordan.
Jordan, my beautiful black-haired blue-eyed love. HIs hair was so soft and fun to run my fingers through, his pacific blue eyes that I could drown in by just looking in them. He was my favourite person ever, and he was about to have a gigantic peice of concrete fall on his head.
‘Jordan, watch out!’
I sprinted the last hundred yards or so and tackeled into him to the ground. A moment later, the really big peice of concrete fell right where Jordan was a second before.
‘Miya, what just happened?’
Oh crap. How was I supposed to explain that?
’ I saved you from a big peice of concrete smashing your head. I love you.’
‘Yeah, but how did you know that it was gonna smash my head?’
Oh shit.
‘Well…
