A little girl sat on a creaking swing.
Tears glistened on her cheeks.
As I stood there, all I saw were tears.
But if I looked closer, there in each drop was a deep craving for her mother's love.
I walked the street seeing a man.
He followed a boy home.
I only saw the steps of the boy get quicker.
But if I looked closer,I would've seen the hunger in the man and the fright of the boy.
maybe that boy would've still been here.
In the car I look out the window.
I see a woman's jewelry glimmer in the sunlight.
The woman talks on the phone.That's all I see.
If I looked closer,
I would've seen her press the reject buttons the man that SHOULD matter MOST calls.
I see her hide her wedding ring in the compartment under her seat.
She sends him a text saying she's busy.
But another lover comes up and gives her a kiss.
I would've seen how pitiful it was.
How woould someone know the things inside reflections.

Blood and Scars (finally finished)
(Five Hours Before)
A man watched behind an old torn down shop, waiting for the girl who should be walking any time soon. Then she came. He walked towards here silently going over his plan. His itching hat and sweater was rubbing against his skin uncomfortably. This was it. He bumped her and threw the tape into her wide open backpack and ran. Ha! It was perfect.
Darlene walked silently through the busy streets, dodging the wandering vagabonds. Then she felt a bump and a tape fell onto her backpack. She picked the taped up and looked for the man she saw walking just a minute ago; he was gone so she continued to run through the rain.
She got home and had an urge to throw it right into her trash can but she left it on her living room table, as she was walking in, and went to find something to eat. She didn't know that the man who inflicted the tape on her parked outside in her driveway. Waiting...
At 8:00 she closed all the windows and doors. As she locked the doors she noticed an olive green Ford Focus out in the front she thought it was a neighbor's visitor. Not thinking anything of it she decided to watch the tape. Darlene skipped to her basement. The VCR swallowed the tape and she sat patiently on the navy blue couch, waiting for the TV to play the tape.
Her eyes widened with surprise at what she saw. she was so scared that her eyes spilled out tears onto her quivering body. The screen flashed more blood, arms, and legs. The thunder sounded and the lightning lit the dark skies for just a few seconds. At that exact moment she read the message on the screen and she flew out of the door.
She realized one one thing as her feet slammed against the floor, the tape was about her. It was her face that she saw on the screen. She took the steps two by two and then ran across the hall faster than a speeding car. It was unbelievable. She grabs the bedroom door but decides to grab the phone instead... it's dead. Her heart pounded with fear. Darlene hears a knock on the door. She grabs a knife and slowly walks toward the door.
Her eyes grow wide and she couldn't help but scream. She slams the door and locks the deadbolt and all the chains. It was the mysterious man who dropped the tape.. He looked like a man in a horror movie. Sudden realization took her. While running through the hall she stopped. Darlene recognized the man; she looked at the hallway wall and saw his picture, he was arm in arm with her father, a friend, relative or... Confusion and fear filled her.
She heard the door unlock.
"Where are you Darlene?..."
She rushed to the back door, her sweat running down her reddened cheeks. She grabbed the emergency gun in the grandfather clock. One question popped into her head, 'Why is he here?'.
His footsteps stalked her until he cornered her at the door. His eyes were cold and filled She slowly slid her finger on the lock finally having a chance to escape. He took the gun out again.
"I never thought that I would have to do this, but before I do. I must explain. Your father cheated me out of my money back when we where business partners. Okay, so he didn't but he did have a really good business that put mine down and there was another situation... When he asked me to be your grandfather, I said yes because I always have wanted my own kids, but I knew my jealousy would get me".
" But why me?! Why not my dad?!"
"I have thought about that... but you see I haven't finished. Then when you were about six months old, I adopted a little girl who was soooo much like you. I was so happy and over joyed. Then one day your dad took you and Alexis , my child, to the beach and he didn't look at the weather. There was a storm and Alexis went for a swim... I guess you know what happened next. Everything I wanted he took away and gained himself."
Darlene took a step outside. His eyes darted to her feet.
"I wanted to him to feel the same as I did", he said slowly raising his gun and taking a step forward.
As Darlene tried to run, he took a shot straight at her head. She fell down in the deep pond in the back of their yard. Her chest, earlier beating faster than full speed mustang, slowed and then fell silent. Her fingers became frozen and still.
Blood filled the pond and lightning struck. The killer stood there and a tear dropped down his face watching as the only other person who could've loved him turned into a bleeding corpse. Then without one bit of a trace, he got out of there, leaving the only household that could've accepted him.
Two weeks later Darlene's parents came back and found her molding body half consumed by all the fish. Of course she was basically a skeleton then but the police still took much time investigating their case. They did not find a trace of the sign who killed her. At least not until 30 years later.
Darlene's parents were in their sixties when her brother Jamie finally figured it out. The lost of his sister was a great lost to their family. So they decided to move somewhere else and he was afraid that it would be too much for his parents to stay in this house.
As he and his family were packing up the house full of sad memories, he saw the hallway picture of Darlene's godfather and picked up and saw traces of blood along it. He took off the frame and on it it said,
"I did it".
Sadly by the time of this discovery the godfather was already dead. TOO depressed to keep himself alive.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaah
I'm inside the computer lab and I like creative writing and all but I am absolutely bored and The Fish is talking to the blue haired kid so I can't just interrupt that. I'm really clueless on what to write and Susan keeps telling me he hates my music *yuck*. Now who agrees with me that after long days of writing, specially on a friday, that they deserve to be brain dead?? Oh my goshh! Give me things to write about please! I beg you!!

My sucky love poem:P (edited)
Its been twelve years now since you've been together. Those beautiful years seemed to pass by too quickly.Every night since then, he sits and sighs deeply on the roof of a lonely, abandoned building. He looks to find your face in the stars and your voice in the wind. You picture him smiling at a memory of two in some quiet place, kissing as if the world was blind to your love.Finally getting up, he immediately skateboards to your house, pocketing something unrecognizable. You silently lay in your bed waiting for the avalanche of pebbles to hit your window. Tap, Tap, Tap, he's there with a poem for you. Then those heavenly lips read:
"Your chocolate brown eyes
drown me in a sweet sea of memories.
Your lips leave me
with the blissful smell of your lip gloss.
Your hair,
OH, your hair
those shimmering strands of silken ecstasy
the color of coffee at sunrise in
the paradise of your heart.
I'm faithfully yours and
you're faithfully mine.
So now I must say..."
You think " Is he going to say what i think he is gonna say?"
He says it, "Will You marry me?"
The box came out and fire works light the air with your name. It's your dream isn't it? Outside with your pajamas in the fall breeze, he kneels down with a rounded, lustrous diamond. It gleamed in the darkness. A tear dripped down your cheek as you stuttered,
"Y-Yes."
It was all that needed to be said. It was one word to explain all the love you wanted to express to him.
The fireworks died and he sat at the porch with you looking up at the stars. From behind you hear,
"Can you explain why he's here?"
"Oh, mom we're engaged. Until death do us part mommy."
The expression on her face was like the the million of cars on the highway, fast and furious.
Just the perfect touch.
