Beauty and the Beast
To love someone, why should it matter
what a person looks like or who he is.
What should matter is what is inside a person.
You should not judge just by appearances but by what a person thinks or feels.
I say, when you go by a person's appearance only, that is the Beast.
But when you go by what is inside of a person, that is the Beauty.

Special Bond
No one could know the bond that they share, for it is stronger than friendship or love.
He helped her through time of need, letting her see a world only found in fairy tales.
A world filled with beauty and splendor.
She let him see that there was not anything they could not conquer, for she let him see that there was not only hurt in his world, but also beauty.
Even though they both came from different worlds, their lives were meant to be intertwined forever.

The Day You Died
I stayed quiet, not bothering you, but then you contacted me, expecting it all to be the same.
You played your childish mind games on me, and I was foolish to fall for it. Then you decided you were done with me, and said you started to feel like I was stalking you.
Well you have nothing worth stalking. You told me that you care and didn�t want to hurt me, but you did the opposite.
You use people and when you are done, you discard them at will. You spoke of your desire for me, but it was just all lies and deception.
The day you died, is when your heart stopped beating. The day you died, is when you stopped feeling.
And that�s the day when I stopped believing, in you.

Wounded
You sulk in a corner licking your wounds, always weary, always suspicious. You look upon me with confusion, not knowing what I want from you.
I reach out to you, but you shrink away. So fearful that you will be hurt further. I try to console you with my words, but words mean nothing, for they hold no worth to you.
Too long have you learned words mean nothing, so long as you obtain what you want. Say what you must to gain what you seek is your course. Trust is something foreign to you, for it has the ability in inflict so much pain.
I implore you to look deep into my eyes and see that my intentions are only to help you, for I can not bear to see you in so much suffering. You look, only to see love reflected in them, and love, has caused you the greatest pain of all.
For you are not an animal, yet not quite human. Your heart has ceased to feel. It is easier to emotionally numb yourself and find distraction so as to not discover the loneliness, the emptiness.
If I am struck down, you walk away leaving me to bleed. If you are struck down, I shall always watch over you, praying that you find an inner peace that may always allude you. All you need do is reach out and trust that I will be there. I am beside you, waiting, always waiting.
