For this is war
when a once vacant field has turned blood red
when every man is nearly dead
when the sky above has turned black
...

Everything you brought, you slowly took away
The words in my mouth, the meaning in my day.

You took everything from me
...

She spoke of love
but her words were empty
her eyes were dull
her voice cracked.
...

Written in P.E.I, summer 2006.
In a place so very far from home
...

Wishing I was once again, that little girl with dreams,
the girl who ran a million miles, who longed for fantasies.
...

She's a leader in her mind
She's a Queen within her dreams,
She's a Shakespeare of her time
If only she were seen.
...

I travel through a world so cold and black,
I turn and realize I can't go back.
...

They are a pack of wolves.
I am their prey.
They approach. They attack.
They haul me away.
...

I can't explain such confusion or pain
or could it simply be disdain? ?

resentment for loving him
...

From a rejected young child
to a strong thought in his head
thousands had suffered
and millions left dead.
...

I am afraid of losing what is not even mine.
I am afraid of being forced, controled, and pushed.

I am afraid of time, death, and doctors.
...

You said I was the vivid stars
But my heart is like a void
Of deep regret and loneliness-
And scars.
...

There hasn’t been a day when I have not thought of you
this nostalgia that I feel simply just won’t do

Through sleepless nights and empty days
...
