(Verse I)
I can’t sleep in this bed tonight
Without you here
And your side is empty now
...

Sagittarius, the archer of lore.
With a personality you will adore.
Philosopher, explorer, open of mind.
Half-horse, half-man, a rare kind.
...

A woman with but one live child,
Of eight she had begun,
Cannot understand what haunts her
As a good Christian one.
...

Dear, God:

I just thought that I’d confess. As your son, I’m not the best. I have sinned and not lightly. I have lost the grip you’ve held so tightly. The straight and narrow is hidden in my crimes: lust, lies, hatred, and swearing so many times. My hope is that your love will forgive, though unworthy, I want to live, in your kingdom in your heart. From your grace, I shall not part. A vacation south is not in my desire; your highness is far beyond a searing fire. I’m lost and lonely, unsure what to do, so may I come and stay with you? Please write back in any form you want, the best is a letter, but please make it legible font. Thanks again for taking this time, to read my prayer and bless my rhyme. I look forward to your letter. I believe that’s all it takes to feel much better. Forgive my writing, it’s sometimes messy. I’m writing with love.
...

(Verse I)
I can taste your lips
At my finger tips
Though you’re still so far away

The Story
By: Savanna Hilyer

The girl is holding a black hole. its her heart. All the pins are being pushed into
...

I held it in for the longest time how much I loved you so.
I always knew you'd never love me, And hoped this love would go.

It tore me apart at my very seams, you grasped my soul and squeezed.
...

He swore that he would love you.
Said that he would stay.
Even now, when at school,
others point and say,
...

I feel this love like a heavy load
our love a quilt that's tightly sewed

pieces patched in abstract places
...

I lie here sleepless watching you, with a proudly well shown smile.
Knowing just to have you love me, I'll go that extra mile.
My love for you, it flourishes, by day and days from there.
That love grows on in every day, with more than I can spare.
...

Nervous girl, hands are shaking.
Tears rolling down cold black metal.
Why was she crying? this has to be done.
Holding back, a sign of weakness.
...

A boy falls in love, he doesn't know why.
He tries to tell her, but always is shy.
when he tries and he fails, he gets up for more.
As long as she's alive, he'll have her for sure.
...

She hides in her covers and cries herself to sleep.
Tied to half-truths and whole lies, the reasons she weeps.

Bound so, by a contortionist of hopes and dreams.
...

We fail to see
how relentless we can be.
Breaking, never holding back
‘til the destruction can be seen.
...

Why have heroes? Why have hope?
Why have idols? I ask you, why?

We all have goals, sometimes dreams,
...

Grace, kindness, and with such beauty.
Any man would kill for her.
Life passing by this girl so fast,
Much of it is left a blur.
...

Growing up is just a dream.
Childhood memories gone by.
From Missoula, Montana,
but to later say goodbye.
...

I’d never felt I was in love,
I’d never been so scared.
I’d never gave up my body,
But for her, all this, I dared.
...

I've fallen in love with another girl,
She's not my girl, she's my whole world.
I like my girl, but I lover her so.
This feels like a prime time TV show.
...

I've known you for a time,
but little do I know.
You change constantly,
your looks, your mind, your emotion.
...
