she stumbled through the weeds
through the thorns
through the brambles and the snarled trees
they caught on her clothing
they shredded the fine fabric
they ripped at her face
still she ran...
tears ran down her face
she had to get away
she could hear it behind her
hear the footsteps falling
faster and faster
like the beating of her heart
she glanced back and saw it running after her
close on her heels
she tried to quicken her pace even more
her breath caught in her chest
her heart hammered against her ribs
she drew in sharp rattling breaths
still she ran
trying to get away
hearing it at her feet
vines trapped her
held her in place
she fought to free herself
more entangled she became ...
she could no longer run
she was trapped
couldn't move
she knew it was behind her
it walked up behind her mockingly slow
it stood there behind her
breathed down her neck
it laughed a cold, mirthless laugh
she then felt something start to rip through her skin
it burned coldly with hate and betrayal
it tore it's way through her skin
it made it's own way into her muscle
then into her spine
this knife cut into her back
the pain reached every part of her body
she screamed out in agony as it twisted the knife
it only withdrew the knife from her when she hung there in the vines
hung there unmoving
it wiped the knife on her clothes before it walked off laughing
you can't run from the truth.....

I saw a star, it was shooting across the night sky... I held my breath, closed my eyes, and what did I wish?... I did not wish, I prayed... I prayed to God to help me try to understand you... I asked that if we weren't ment to be, to help you to just be happy... I prayed with all of my being... I opened my eyes, saw the star pass... saw the darkness afterwards... and deep inside I knew that He had heard me... a tear slowly ran down my cheak... as I walked the rain came slowly down, hideing my pain... the thunder came as well... I just stood there, smileing... knowing that my pain wasn't just ending with me... that the tears of so many others were joining me that night...

I am the moth flying to the flame... I know what will come of me if I continue to fly to it
but I strangely don't care
for it's beauty enchants me...

lost....
so many things washing over me like waves in a storm... every time i see you .. i'm just... lost..
i smile yet i don't know why i do..
you understand me..
you are always there...
so many waves..
so many thoughts..
so many feelings..
so..lost....
it's been thought before ..
others have said aloud that which i wonder in the quite darkness of my mind..
so many waves of change have taken place..
that which i thought....
i now question..
yet .. you show me clarity..
lost...
when you are near..
so many waves of ideas..
waves of being with you..
being in your arms.. your warm, careing embrace..
waves of wild ideas.. of your lips staining mine with sweetness..
so lost
in waves of terror..
what is this i'm feeling..
what if it's not real..
what if it is real..
what if you get just as lost as i do..
what if.. you don't..
what if it's too late..
what if you disappear...
what if ..
so lost..........
what if ..
i do love you?
by:Terri
what is within my mind...
I feel i must tell you
yet ...
I fear the words that will excape your mouth after...
I fear
that even if I did say what I so long to
it would be too late...
that you would already be mistafied by the siren's song...
I just plead with the skies
that I can make my voice heard over the siren's...
I wonder if my pleas can be heard...
I wonder if it's possible for you to have the same within your mind..
please, oh siren..
still your song so that he may hear
that which I long to say...
a siren may mistafy
but a human may love...

Last night you came to me within my mind, my dreams are where i found you... even though we were only friends, in this wonderful few moments you were so close ... so close.. you put your arms around me ... your lips gently, softly pressed to mine... i could only just feel them ... soft and tender kisses.... i did not wish to awake, yet i had to leave that heaven sent moment in my mind - i pray to be able to revisit you there.. and be able to feel your gentle kiss again.. i know it will never be in reality - so i must hope to let my dreams take me to your loveing arms.. when you leave my life in sad reality ... at least i know that i may find you in my sweet dreams - where anything is possible, even you loveing me back.......
