Hey guys.. I'll be here for a bit moderating you, and I thought I'd put a poem that I posted in the old teen forum up here for you guys to see (not that my teen years were so long ago, lol!) But I hope you enjoy. I know I've enjoyed all of your stuff!


I turned around and there you were
You took away the dark
You reached right out and easily
You snatched away my heart

Perfection came to existence
Through those summer days and nights
We laughed, we cried, we learned and loved
And a new me came to life

I thought you were a gift to me
My prize for all the pain
I thought that I'd come through it all
But now, it's just the same

I turned around and you were gone
You took away the light
And now I stumble in the dark
I scratch and bleed and fight

I wonder if the light went out
Or shines on in another place
I wonder if I should look for you
Another time, another space…

Or should I just let go, my dear?
Yes… I’ll walk away
They say that I am better
And you’ll regret your words someday

But I cannot honestly say
That if you turned around today
Reached out to me, called out my name
That I wouldn’t take you back to stay

But I turn around
And you’re still gone…

Love's a lovely lad
His bringing up is beauty
Who loves him not is mad
For I must pay him duty

if i'd only thought of something charming to say..."   -death cab
