When I was young, my heart was glass, and beautifully it shone.
They broke my heart, and just like glass, it cut me to the bone.
Though now it's hard, and has to be, so I can stand alone,
For just a moment, you caused a beat within a heart of stone.

We need to remember to separate Church and State. The Constitution should always trump the Bible in matters of Law. This is a democracy, not a theocracy, however, 'marriage' is a religious institution. I personally don't care about the semantics, call it what you will but make it exactly the same. Excuse the rather odd analogy, but I don't care if ( Read more... )

You made it so easy to sin. So easy to fall in Lust. You ooze sensuality like an arrow frog oozes poison, and it's just as deadly. Satisfaction turns to Sloth, because with you in it a bed is hard to get out of. Gluttony, because as much as you gave, I couldn't get enough. Greed because I didn't want to share you. Vanity because I thought I should ( Read more... )

Introspection I find myself drawn like a moth to a flame to things that I know will destroy me. I am no moth, yet I see the Inferno, and somehow again and again mistake it for the Light. Why is it tha I'm so terrified by a heart that beats in time with mine? Why have I run headlong screaming from anyone that can do anything more than amuse me? What ( Read more... )

How could I have been so blind, I the eagle eyed devine. Always I have admonished myself never to make a priority of one that makes of you merely an option. He doesn't care. Not like I do. I left my heart open wide for the blade that cut it in two. I know better. People will believe a lie out of fear that it's true, or out of hope that it true. And ( Read more... )

Oh so very quickly the black blooming rose of my heart draws tight it's petals upon itself like a dark knight donning armor. I allowed myself to feel too much, fall too deep, wander too far from the beaten path, losing myself inside myself inside of another. What was I thinking? Was I thinking? I think not. So very far from me, the cold hearted, ( Read more... )

I am frightened. Not since reckless youth have I allowed my gaurd to fall so quickly, and so completely. I didn't mean for this to happen. Old fires burned again brightly for just a moment with grief to fan the flames. We both needed shoulders to cry on. The question that burned so brightly in my mind, was how long could we keep eachother smiling ( Read more... )

You confound me, my beautiful one. I cannot dance as easily as you can from the extremes of emotion. Every time you wound me with my guard down I find a new place to plate with steel. You hate that I hide my emotion behind an iron mask, but I refuse to allow anyone to see me cry. My love dances on the razor's edge, back and forth between ( Read more... )

America, the land of liberty is at war. The greatest casualty of this war though way well not be the soldiers that die bravely in battle, but instead the cause so many of our soldiers have battled for in the past. That cause is freedom. It is the very ideal that our great country was created for. There is no greater injustice that we could inflict ( Read more... )

From the moment we met we were bound ( Read more... )
