The Carousel
The night was cold and deep; leaves rustled upon the soft ground like the gentle shudder of a spider in the wind. I sat on the brown wooden horse with blue and green ribbon spiraling around the pole protruding from its back. I grasped the weathered saddle 'til my hands ached, assuring myself I was real. What happened? Tears rolled down my face and fell to the earth beneath me. That afternoon started to reform in my mind…
It was late in the day, and the little ghosts and goblins began to appear from festively decorated doorways. One of which was my little brother, Cal.
"C'mon Lynx let's go!" he pleaded, "Kyle's waiting for m
Somewhere between here and there
Sits a little house in a grove of trees,
A black spot in a sea of green
Why are you so old little house?
Are you all alone?
Please tell me a story.
The windmill says he's had much pass
through his fans,
Gun powder, laughter of children,
The smell of death…
Oh please little house say something!
The trees around you are charred with age,
They say this place was happy once,
Their leaves green and a fresh breeze
Rolling through the fans,
And you…
Were you happy once too?
Little house do you know what you are?
You are a time capsule, just not in a jar.
I will come back for you someday little
Did I forget to mention that I love you?
I'm terribly sorry if i did,
Did you know I want to hold you? to kiss you?
Unfortunately I was too afraid to lose myslef in your arms
and I know your lips are not mine to kiss.
He gave you a single red rose
I gave you twelve of pink.
He gave you his heart,
But I gave you mine....didn't I?
No....I took it away
But remeber? I gave you the rain, the moon, the sunset,
but never my emotion,
Yet he...he gave you love, and didn't forget to tell you
And you gave him love in return.
Now I beg you not to let me go, to not let me
forget anymore,
But we both know it is too late,
S
I hope you will not let me phase you,
I pray that you will not let me change you
I love you too much for that,
Never allow me to hurt you,
to annoy you,
to drive you away
I love you too much for that
As long as I wear this necklace,
as long as I hear this song
I will love you,
Can you promise all this to the one you love?
Please love me.....
I watch myself in the mirror, I watch myself crumble, the strain of your anger is too great, don't you know it kills me?
Songs are playing on the radio, they seem so real, my friends telling me "'you make believe nothing is wrong until you're cryin'"', you yelling '"Feelings incencere/ I'll not be your memory!"'
I look down at my wrist, our clouded relationship dangles at my life-line. I take it off, place it at my feet, drown it in tears. I wish you could see me like this, then maybe you would understand.
My hair sticks to my wet face, I feel like I have to go '"back/ back/ back to a disaster/ my heart's beating faster/ holding on to feel
Why can't I find you? and why the hell are you not picking up? I hate it when you do this, you make me feel like a character in one of your games that you can just put on pause if you're tired of playing. At first it was ok, I knew you liked your recreations, but you have no idea what it is doing to me.
I keep praying there's something wrong with the phone, maybe you just can't hear it. I alone know how much I love you, you opened my eyes to a new imagination and yet I feel so blind and ignorant when you break your promises.
Why don't you call?
How could I have been so blind? Well its easy for me isn't it? It's amazing if I ever see anything. I knew this was going to happen, just because I turned you down for the both of us or because I couldnt. You say I'm doing everything wrong, it's all turning against me, bringing me closer and closer to my doom. You seem to always criticize me, I dont know why, you say its for my own good, but does telling me im responsible for my own demise actually helpful? I hate loving you, after everything you've done to me, for me, I should kill you, but that would only kill me. Im sorry Im obsessed with your soul, but is it not crazy that we would go
Rain.....
It can mean so many different things,
Spring, dancing, sadness....tranquility,
Today it means all
I raise my arms and pretend to rise into
the grey oblivion,
I hope God's tears shall wash away mine,
High rooftops look as mountains do,
with rivers flowing from the highest peak only
to fall off the edge, to splash to the ground disturbing
the constant rhythm of random droplets
The house is silent, I dare not stir, nor do I
wish to, but I must go outside,
Out in the watery sadness, out in the drum-like music
to dance my longing for him,
for her,
for love.........away,
The silence is singing to
A city can hold many things, I couldn't believe how I felt as I walked through down-town Ft. Worth. The buildings were so tall, nothing like here, this middle land of dust, flatness and a false sense that this is how the rest of the world looks, so dry, so barren, so dead. I guess it isn't all that bad, I hold some of my fondest memories here; a first kiss, the best kind of friendships I was lucky enough to recieve, and the highest love that has been given to me out of mercy. Then the greatest pain has fallen on me in this town, the loss of love from the one I've been trying to reach my whole life, the hurt I must carry to save other souls mo
i saw rain sliding down my window
i saw the moon between the trees
i saw leaves rustling and a bird upon
the breeze
i saw a dark figure outside my window
i saw a rope between the trees
i saw a pair of eyes and clothes flapping in
the breeze
i saw somone opening my window
i saw them step freom the trees
i saw someone grab me and carry me into
the breeze
i saw my blood sliding down a window
i saw the moon through different trees
i saw a man driving, driving, into
the breeze
some say it\'s obvious
others don\'t say anything
but most don\'t notice
the way i feel for you
I am afraid to express my love
for fear you don\'t feel the same
I see you everyday, and everyday
I wish and wish for you to love me
the way I do you
but if this is not to be
we will remain friends
and I will be forever a close
friend but also a distant lover
\'til our time togeter ends
you gave me my first drink
\"its good, I promise\", you said
I only wanted you to like me
so I took that cold glass
of bacardi and poored it through
my lips
it was you that took me
to the back room after I
had had a few more
you were my first, I let
you slide in, on top of
my skin
you made me love you when
you gave me my first bowl
I couldnt help but love
you, it was probably the weed
but i still think it was b/c you were
my first
then you left me one day,
you said you would be back but
I never saw you again, and
somehow I knew, but it didnt
seem to matter, i was so sad to lose
my love
I knew you were bad for m
all i see is faces
sure theres some that are familiar
but most are total strangers
i cant help but feel im alone in
those halls of random ppl and their faces
i try too hard to make ppl like me
sometimes, i think but who doesnt want to be?
i find friends in the oddest places but somehow
they are not enough to calm my frustration
even though they try
i just sit in a classroom thinking of what
im trying to learn but i hate that feeling of being alone
so i cannot concentrate on my work
sometimes i just feel the need to be alone
somewhere dark and untouched, just somewhere
where no one will bother me or make me feel unloved
i didnt know i could feel this way for a friend
when i am lost in my own troubles she cracks a joke or in some way makes me forget
when someone who doesnt understand makes me feel unwanted, she is there loving me
she is the replacement of someone who knows who i am but barely recognizes or sees me for what i am
i love her with all my heart and it is already tearing me up inside thinking of the day she will leave me here alone with my own troubles with no one to make me laugh, no one to make me forget
and to her i say thankyou for you are my friend, my light in the dark depths of a lost mind, my inspiration
I remember that night,
we were both cold and wet
from the heavenly rain
How ironic i would be so cold
around you.
I wanted to cry when you
gave that girl a hug, I'll
never forget the way it made me feel,
alone, used and forgotten
How ironic you made me feel
that way, since i told you that
was my greatest fear, being alone.
When we sat in the dark and talked
about life and it's meaning for an eternity,
I remember you took my cold hand, I felt
so special to have you there with me
I could feel your beautiful hand carressing
my face, touching my lips
How ironic you were never to touch me
that way again.
When you asked why d
I remember that night,
We were both cold and wet from
the heavenly rain
How ironic I would be so cold
around you.
I wanted to cry when you
gave that girl a hug, I'll never
forget the way it made me feel,
alone, used and forgotten
I didn't know you would let me
be that way, since I told you
that was my greatest fear
.....being alone.
When we conversed in the dark about
life and it's meaning for an eternity.
I remember you craddled my second-rate hand,
I felt so special to have you there with me,
apart of me,
I could feel your loving stokes on my face,
the wonderful carress on my lips
How was I to know you were never to
I've seen many kinds of alone
the only book on a dusty shelf,
a single flicker of a star on dawn's wings, or
the only red rose grasping for life in the dead of winter
but as you drive off and leave me at my door,
my type of loneliness becomes unbearable
I don't go in, I just sit there on the porch thinking
of you and that I'm not afraid to die
around you
as long as I'm with you I'll be alright,
It's when you dissappear from my vision that
I feel just as alone as that star hanging
in the sky or that rose that seems to cry of her loneliness with tears of morning dew
The first thing I noticed was the ribbon and bear,
along with both your names hanging vertically, like my tears lingering on my chin,
I acted happy for you and asked to see, to make sure the source of my pain was real,
I didn't want you to see me so hurt, or the river that poured from my eyes,
I hurried past, thinking you didn't care
Bells jingle, stadium lights glared on The Court while we played the song softly,
she was only holding your music...at first, and I thought it would be ok because you told me you cared after I thought you didn't
It seemed like the timing was planned, I was told not to look, that I would be hurt, but I did
I barely recognize myself
for all these lies flying, all this hatred swirling,
Does everything have to be this confusing?
I wish to God I was all-knowing, that everything was as clear as this night I walk alone in
But the truth that lingers is that those eyes that I love so much are just as blank and puzzled as mine
I don't know whether to hate you.....
or love you for what you do to me
The moon is my guide through these woods that had once hidden us from the world, these trees that covet our secrets
but tonight they release our private words, our special moments evaporate to nothing on the wind like your love for me seemed
Is love supposed to be this way?
Full of tears and pain and a lingering feeling I will never be enough?
Others have begged for my heart but they do not possess what I see in you
I knew I loved you the first time we met....
your lips that touched mine once
that jet black hair that blended perfectly with the night,
a soft, steady hand, and a mind tht could manipulate anything........even emotions
Throughout my precious time with you, I have learned to love but hate even more
All the things I used to care for I find no pleasure within them
This love that vibrates in me is turned all to you,
A slap across my face, a kick at my ribs, th

Ok, so I lied. But it hasn't quite been two years since my last update lol.
Umm, I feel like I haven't changed much but I know I have. I am way less emo and actually have direction in my life. Imagine that! Speaking of, I'm graduating with a BA in history and a minor in English in May. Now, you may be wondering, "what can you do with a liberal arts degree besides teach?" but truth is, a lot.
I have decided to go into architectural conservation/historic preservation and where am I going to further my education . . .? Edinburgh, Scotland!!!
I got accepted into Edinburgh College of Art and I am so excited, even if my finances and parents are
A lot happens in two years. I'm a history major at Texas A&M. Still playing in band. I have a lot of new friends and have kept some of the old. I still have boy problems. I think I'm becoming a terrible writer and I wish I still had my old creativity. However, I cannot forget what DA has done for me. I have many memories from this site and from the amazing people I've met through it. Thanks everyone. I'll try and not wait 2 years between updates. Thanks DA.

Hey everyone, gaw I haven't been on DA in forever. I have 1,395 messages lol I usualyl don't like it to be over 300, guess I got a lot to look at. Well I'm graduated and heading to College Station in the fall, right now I'm taking two summer classes and I'm not that excited about the speech one, but, oh well. Hope everyone is doing well.
Lorelei
