I was sitting in class and while I was 'avidly paying attention' I started to jot down this little poem.

-Untitled-

The sky is blue,
The sun is out
The children are laughing
While I am in doubt.

The birds are singing,
Not a cloud in the sky.
And still I sit here
Just wondering "Why?"

Does he like me?
Does he hate me?
Does he need me?
Does he crave me?

Cruel is love!
Cruel is hate!
Cruel are boys,
When it comes to pain.

Do they know
That they hurt us so?
Do they think
We cant feel a thing?

And when we
Could just care less,
They think it funny,
To confess

That they love us,
That they hate us,
That they thought
they caused us pain.

And we laugh in their faces
And they get mad
And think that we've played them
For all that they have

When really we got nothing,
Just hurt and suffering,
And confusion caused by many
Emotional things.

Cruel is love!
Cruel is hate!
Cruel are boys
When it comes to pain.

He loves me - does he mean it?
Or is he just playing another game?
Look at what you've done to me!
You've made me gone insane!

Now I can't help but question
If his words come from the heart
Because you made me paranoid
When you tore my world apart.

Yes, I will love again
But will it be with you?
Hah! Sir, you must be joking
Your ego must be true!

You taught me one thing - That's for sure
Never will I be played again
For as my heart is taken once more,
I will also take my brain!

To love is to feel happy
To love is to experience grief
To love is to look past our outer shells
And see what's underneath

And if you never love
Then sorry for you I feel
For love is pain and love is stained
But without it, a life could not be real.

I wrote this at night... Couldn't sleep. Just heard "Clumsy" (Our Lady Peace) on the radio and I had to write a poem about murder! It doesn't really have a stable pattern... but I wrote this at 12 in the morning ok???

The snake slithers in my hand
As I extract venom from its fangs
Drip
   Drip
      Drip
         -- It drops
Filling the goblet of glass
I have no more use for it
So I dispose of the asp

The needle pierces the liquid
Poison replaced the air quick
It felt so light within my palm
It was Death - in a stick

I stand there - invisible
To those who do not wish to see
Let them be happy
Within moments, they'll feel misery

You feel the poison
Wearing you down
You're already unconscious,
Nearly dead on the ground

But you do not deserve
A death so kind
So we will continue
With the plot in my mind

Straight in the same direction
We drive on for hours
It will be worth the wait
For the sight I'll devour

You've awaken - Hello!
How do you do?
Feeling a tad groggy?
Venom can do that to you.

The rope winds around your wrists
It burns, does it not?
I secure the scratchy snakes
You will soon be forgot

Now the serpent slithers round your feet
Intertwining through your left leg and right
Knotted in the center
Try as you may, you've already lost the fight

We're on the dock now,
But soon it will be only I
You will have left me
To you I say, "Good Bye"

Struggle as much as you want
I don't care
For all I do is push --
Push . . .
   and watch . . .
       and stare . . .

Stare as you meet your watery grave
Stare as you scream in vain
Stare as the sun sets the sky on fire
Stare as you scream in pain

It's over now;
The moon's smile - a silver crest
Your debt to me has been paid
Now - you may rest.

No one can tell
For no one has seen
Mermaids stay silent
The sea remains green.
