        But for a Friend
        ================

        Darkness closes in on me
        suffocating and tight...
        but for a friend,
        who sheids me from the dark
        and shows me the light.
Emptiness surrounds me
leaving me alone and useless...
but for a friend,
who fills the emptiness
and gives me reason to be.
        Sorrow tries to grip me
        in icy fingers of despair...
        but for a friend,
        who prevents it's touch
        and removes me from it's reach.
Depression cluches me
tries to kill my thoughts and dreams...
but for a friend,
who tears it away
and reminds me who I am.
        Life
        would be so much smaller...
        but for a friend.
                           Cassia

Below Are some of my poems,

Existence 

Heart, soul and mind
The three corperal entities
that keep the person in control. 

So what happens when the
heart is ripped out?
The control slips, the person
loses his heart to a
chilling coldness that envelops
his life. 

What happens when the
soul is shattered?
The flying fragments of
the soul embed themselves
into the cold fury wall
created by a disrupted psyche. 

When the mind is hurt,
confused and lost.
Life becomes an unbearable
torture, a torture of
pain, endless pain! 

I hear you ask,
why do I know of such things?
Look deep into my eyes,
search the gateway of my soul,
Try and find the pieces of my
heart and mind, slowly place the
pieces of my shattered psyche together.
Then you shall discover that I have
intimate knowledge of what I speak.

Moving to the rhythm of your heartbeat
Dancing to the slow steady pulse
Nobody has wanted as much as I want you. 

The light makes a golden aura around you
I step back, once more your beauty astounds me
Your eyes peer deeply into my soul,
No one knows me as well as you do. 

A truer friend there has never been,
You know when I'm upset, only you can find the truth
For no one else is trusted as much as I trust you. 

My love for you grows each time you are around,
And again I am forced to constrain myself.
I wish you all the best so I stay away,
But is that part of my problem? I know not,
though I do know I love you.

How do you love someone,
One who needs not of you,
Free spirited, free willed of her that is all,
too beautiful for her own good.

My sanity is slipping away,
I know not if I can survive the time I must spend with her,
her friends, and her flirtations.

My heart is ripped asunder,
at the thought of another holding her gentle frame,
the cold fury that has been dormant for so long,
seeps to the surface,
again my mind is attack,
a perilous battle in which I fear I shall lose,
the hope I have for survival is unknown,

Be strong people say,
but the fight for strength is external,
and the pain I feel attacks from within,
slowly eating its way to the surface,
how much longer have I before my love for the lady,
Shall be mine eternal downfall.


"Love of my life" 

By the light of the new sun,
Your beauty is bright,
The light reflects off your eyes dazzling me,
Such magnetism there is in your face,
It's no wonder that I am drawn to you. 

I know only that I love you,
Love that is hard to find
harder even to keep,
But that which we have is a bond
that nothing can break. 

With you I feel complete, whole and stable,
I know that to be without you would be
misery in hell and that could not be endured.
So as the day breaks and the light streams in
think only that I love you with all my heart. 

I love you Fee.
