A single black dot on the blank page,
The ink still wet, glistening to the dim light,
A testament to the blankness of my mind
As I try my hardest to salvage the time.
Minutes go by;
Still I ponder,
Searching my deepest thoughts for eloquent words,
For beautiful images,
Anything that I might put to the page,
And so be able to declare the time not wasted.
Oh, the emptiness of my heart
Continues to put to lie my intentions.
I find the time has passed
And still I have only
A single, black dot.
Spring is nearly here.
I can taste it in the air;
Hear it on the breeze as it blows by my window.
I can see it in the crisp clear blue of the morning sky,
And in the bright orange breasts of the robins on the lawn.
The world has come alive with the sound of bird and beast,
Announcing to the heavens that winter has ended.
Yes, spring is on its way at last,
And the hearts of men rejoice.
Alone in the shadows,
She hides behind her empty eyes.
Unseen by most, unnoticed by all.
The pain, the rage, the fear,
Struggling to break out of their cage.
She lies and laughs and says all is well,
But inside she is slowly dying
Eaten away by the all-consuming emotions
Warring within her core.
Misunderstood so many times, she no longer bothers to speak
And only those who know the pain
Can see the death in her empty eyes.
A dream. Nothing more.
How could it ever be real, after all?
Happiness untainted with rage,
Joy without fear of pain?
Might as well ask for flight, or invisibility,
For without these, I will never esc
He is not an Edward.
He doesn't stare at me every minute he is with me.
Or smell my hair and watch me sleep.
Won't follow me, like a lost puppy,
Sometimes, he'll even walk away.
He doesn't love me for my faults,
It's in spite of them.
He'll notice pretty girls, even think of
past lovers
When he laughs at me, it's because I'm silly,
Not cute
Or Perfect.
The thought of me getting hurt does not bring tears to his eyes.
He would not die if I died,
He is not an Edward.
And I am not a Bella.
We are real.
Our love is real.
And that,
Is more important, and genuine
Than idealistic, impossible fantasies.
Screw Edward.
There's venom on her lips
and her fingernails are sharpened.
Don't let her smile fool you.
She has to be dangerous.
Otherwise, why would it be
that every person to ever cross her
has done so from a distance?
I'm not dead yet
I'm just drowning
what's a little water in your lungs on a night like this?
you're radiant in moonlight
like a vampire, like the ocean
like alot of things that are beautiful but deadly
sink a little deeper
you haven't broken skin yet
sink a little deeper down with me into this nightmare
there's blood in your eyes
there's blood in your eyes
and I don't know why
but I'm loving your reflection as I drown

I apologize to any of my friends and followers who may be reading this now. I've been MIA for altogether too long and have been in a shamefully un-creative mode for so long that I almost forgot what my DA login even was.
I know I've said this before, but I intend to remedy this. I have several ideas on how to do that at the moment, one that I'm even getting quite excited about. I'd like to get some feedback on these, but that part will come soon. First, however, it's time for another "life changes" update:
- My husband and I recently moved to Holts Summit, MO and I started working for University Hospital as a staff nurse. We have 2 cats, F
