You cannot touch what cannot feel
You cannot mend what never heals
Your words are falling on deaf ears
Your promises break against her fears
She is lost where you can't follow
In private darkness she now wallows
You must give up
You must move on
She is and will forever be
Broken
Stars watch over
As I lie in your arms
So safe here with you
Safe from all harm
The fire beside us
Crackles and spits
It's light making you glow
Your hair and your lips
Holding me closer
You whisper sweet words
Words from your heart
No one else ever heard
Darkness surrounding
Alone here with you
I can't help but keep smiling
The dream has come true
A choice lies before me
A decision I have to make
Do I keep enduring this situation
Or do I let this all break?
On the one side there's stability
But monotony and stress
On the other lies my freedom
But would alone really be best?
He takes so much from me
Yet gives little in return
I thought that I could change him
I though that he would learn
But in freedom lies my depression
The darkness always there
Alone it is my Master
Do I have the strength to bear?
Each road has its pluses
Yet in each I stand to lose
How do I make this decision?
Which road should I choose?
He holds me close
He holds me near
Those three words
He waits to hear
He pushes me away
With lies and disrespect
I know I shouldn't stay
But it's what they all expect
He says that he'll try harder
But every day's the same
I feel so disregarded
Still he thinks I'll take his name
He tells me that I'm beautiful
On the days I'm feeling down
I wonder if I would feel better
Without this stress around
I see his heart
I see his soul
Those three words
Won't fill that hole
She was supposed to be in a better place
Of rainbows and butterflies
Of sunshine and smiles
Amazed how the time flies
She was supposed to be finding true love
The man to make her heart melt
Who always knew what to say
Amazed at how content she felt
She wasn't supposed to be here
Holding that knife in her hand
Staring at her naked skin
Wondering what happened to the plan
She wasn't supposed to be crying
Watching the blood begin to flow
Feeling that sweet release
Wondering why this is how it always goes
The darkness had taken hold again
Forcing all those happy thoughts aside
Filling her mind with blood and tears
Returning her
Shimmering fur
Soft to the touch
A gentle purr
Soothing their watcher
Piercing eyes
Watching its prey
Sharpened claws
Primed for the hunt
Glistening teeth
Ready for the kill
Words once filled this paper
Rhyming tales of torment
Brief moments caught in time
Now the blankness taunts me
I try to force one more syllable
Construct a sense of rhyme
But nothing seems to come
The darkness no longer fills me
Yet sunlight hasn't taken its place
A world full of grey lacks inspiration
I lash out at those around
Trying to find my muse
Trying not to lose my way
Is it possible to write in this dull light?
The sky turns grey
Dark clouds come tumbling in
Blocking out the light
Streetlights turn on
Small pockets of illumination
As day turns so suddenly to night
Large drip drops of rain
Speckling the pavement
Too heavy for the leaves to hold
Soon the water pools
Gushes down drains and overflows
The air turns cold
A flash
A streak of lightning
Bright across the sky
A terrible rumbling
Shaking the foundations
A fire starts nearby
No cover, no safety
As the storm takes its hold
You are at its mercy
You cannot touch what cannot feel
You cannot mend what never heals
Your words are falling on deaf ears
Your promises break against her fears
She is lost where you can't follow
In private darkness she now wallows
You must give up
You must move on
She is and will forever be
Broken

I have his voice in my head
With words he never said
And I wonder, oh I wonder
If he could
Is he a gentleman inside
Or am I not his wanted prize
And I wonder, oh I wonder
If I should
He keeps giving me these signals
He keeps talking with a smile
I keep giggling at his jokes
And I wonder all the while
Is he thinking what I'm thinking?
Is he wanting what I desire?
Or am I just ever hopeful
With these dreams that he inspires?
I have this simple plan
And it involves this man
And I wonder, oh I wonder
If I should
If I could dare to kiss him
Would he eagerly respond?
And I wonder, oh I wonder
If he would
I'm building a wall, and everyday there's another brink to add to,
I'm on one side, and you're on the other,
Each brick carefully crafted and laid by me, not that I want this,
Some bricks are expectations, what others think, what I should do,
The end result is still the same though,
And the wall keeps growing around me,
Cutting me off from you, myself, and what I wanted to be,
I want to stop, but my hands are bloody now, as you well know,
For this isn't just my wall I'm building you see,
It's part of a house, someone else's dreams,
If I stop building now, another's dreams come tumbling down too,
But what about my own, what I wante

As If We Never Said Goodbye
The rain fell in sheets, but all I could see was a drenched figure standing on my doorstep. Him. The person I never expected would come back. The one I had waited for, but had finally given up on. And, yet, here he was, in the middle of the worst storm of the year, crying on my doorstep. Steve? I smiled as I said his name. It had been so long, too long.
Chrissie He trailed off; his jade eyes brimmed with red. The rain began to fall harder, if that was even possible, and I immediately invited him in. He shut the door behind him and I hurried into the kitchen to turn off the stove.
Why are you he

Well, I have finally joined the world of deviantART after many years of consideration (no excuse for not signing up earlier... just one more form to fill in and another site to check every day!)
I can't promise to upload things regularly, nor what kind of thing it might include. I have some poetry I feel like sharing, and perhaps the odd drawing or short story. You'll just have to wait and see what I manage to dig out, or what inspires me in the future.
Life is chaotic and stressed right now, which is always good creative fuel!
Hiya,
It has indeed been a while, life's been a bit stressful and I've not done anything artistic in months, unless you count my crochet, which I guess may well count and I might have to post up some photos
Hope you are well
Crochet?? wow that's fantastic, I just learned basics but still seems too difficult to me.
Life's been stressful to me too, I just began my last year at university and it's so hard >_<
