Only for Us By: Ashley B. Tell me what you want, Express your feelings to me, I won’t bite if they do not meet my standards, Or if they make you look less of a person, I simply want the truth, The simple truth that I know would set you free, Long enough to look into my eyes and show true happiness, Instead of fear and regret, Encircle me with your playful spirit, So that I too can express my feelings to you, Clouds of laughter would fill our souls, Lifting us to a higher place out of reach to everyone, Creating calm and peace for both you and me, So that we can confide in each other, Living for only us...

When I view you up close, I see strength, Surging through your limbs, Your eyes cheery, Your voice strong and vibrant, When I step back, I see- nothing. *HMPH* I see nothing! No definition of trust, the wall of friendship shatters, deteriorates from the sheer weight of conceit. The idea of keeping you close is clouding my judgement, Keeping me from growing, sheltering myself from you takes a strength I do not possess, If left to wander, they lead to a possible excuse, A semi-explanation to why our friendship exist. ...my ULTIMATE dream? MY dying desire?!... ...to destroy you. to halt you from any further growth, But not personal growth, f

If I lie still enough, There is a moment of realization, A moment that spans over my life completely, Too important to be overlooked, If I stood still, A sensation starts to grow, Taking over my being long before I could ever notice, Guiding me towards my longest desires. If I stare into the distance, My simple form is devoured by my surroundings, Barely leaving room for others to view me or for me to even notice, Their gazes as heavy as lead, yet feeling as light as a feather. When i glance into my soul, I sense a spirit older than time but grander than any bounty, Handing me tools, perceptions, and insight to decipher my surroundings, Al

Don't Do This To Me... Over There-I sit- Waiting... Breathing... Hoping for a reaction. The simple satisfaction, A distraction- -no-a fulfilling emotion, That only you can provide. Hanging off your every word, How absurd to observe My reactions, Though subtle-still present in your view. Yet, you turn your back away, As if to stray Away from me, As if the very sight of my eyes and the sound of my silent cries cause more pain than any bullet could provide. Then-suddenly-a change occurs, Slight, yet A delicate sight, Freezing at the thought that I- Finally- Could cause such a vibrant reaction, At a moment glancing to se

A Spirit Wonders A spirit wonders, Set forth by a beating step, Echoing from tucked Heat, Gasping-a shiver felt, A tug from afar, It dashes towards the fleeting heat, Leaving nothing but a sigh, Ringing-ever more in both ears.

A Withering Heart By: Ashley Knox As my heart wanders to find where yours lies, I am left to fear my ultimate fate, Due to helpless choices and endless cries, The sadness that shows your own heart's state. From stupid turns and unforeseen choices, To constant uncomfort which made me limp, Both-the unfair and unneeded voices, Caused my love for you to become unkempt. My darling, I wish I could turn back time, Where our love ran deeper than-any scar, The moment we both committed the crime, And yet, lost ourselves to the unfair war. Lie still my heart-which longs for you embrace, My withered heart-you-forever encase.

Farewell My Kin It is my time to go, my stay has all been both endearing and memorable, I know it is my time, I know it is hard to let me go, but do not fret, for it is time for me to continue my journey, my journey that I must endure, enjoy, and pave for you, I shall miss you dearly, but promise I'll remember you all, for you are my life, my spirit, my family.

I Long for You To the one I long for, My heart forever reaches for yours, Longing for your presence to surround me with happiness and hope, Feeling your tender arms grasp me gently, You blowing lightly into my ear, Looking to the sky as night begins to fall, I wish on the wondering star for a sign from you, That would lead me back to your side, Where both you and I shall gaze out on the world, However, Reality sinks back into place, Do not fret, for I am both happy and satisfied, Seeing your silhouette dance along the stars, Guiding those who are missed by their loved ones to their rightful homes, As for I… I continue t
