Dark Side Of My Life
You Hurt Me Too
You made me feel like a part of the world
and you took it away
you told me that you loved me
but you won’t stay
you didnt talk to me for a year
now you say were just friends
you can’t give me another chance
you cant say were at ends
you believed her over me
told me I made you cry
you said we’d always be friends
but my love wont die

Frozen Wishes
They ran, desperate to escape the rain,
But they knew it was in vain,
Until they saw the seaside cave,
Where they sought the dryness that it gave.
In the cave they huddled together,
Glad to be out of the stormy weather.
Still sopping wet and chilled to the bone,
One pulled the heavy pouch with a groan.
The pouch was simple, plain, and slightly damp,
And when opened revealed an old brass lamp.
Together they pulled it out, as if on cue,
And held it in their hands, now turning blue,
And began to polish and clean,
Until it shone as bright as it had ever been.
Out the lamp, smoke started to pour,
Forming a figure floating above the floor…
The figure floated eerily in the air,
His head topped with a turban, covering his hair,
Though he looked like a man, the thieves knew he was not,
For he was a genie of a lamp they sought.
He was quiet for a moment before bending low,
And he started to speak deliberately slow,
‘I am a great and powerful genie!
I thank you for setting me free.
I guess you want a wish from me,
And since you number three,
You each may wish for one thing you adore,
But after, our acquaintance will be no more! ‘
The three freezing men nodded at what they heard,
And the greediest of them stepped forward,
He took a deep breath through his purple face,
And said his wish with a great haste,
‘I wish I had a hundred pounds of gold! ‘
The genie granted the wish he was told.
The gold bars appeared out of no where,
And for a moment no one moved a hair.
The second man, not wanting to be surpassed,
Said his frigid wish quick and fast,
‘I wish to be the richest man existing! ‘
The genie sadly granted the mans wishing.
Just as before,
Riches appeared instantly on the floor.
Now, the last man, was more clever than the others,
So, with gold and riches he did not bother.
When he spoke, out frosted breath billowed,
‘I wish that I was warm and dryly clothed! ‘
Immediately he fell asleep, wrapped in warm fur,
The other two men stared at each other with murder.
They both wanted the other mans wish,
Whether it was the gold or the riches.
They lunged at each other with hate in their eyes,
Both of them wanting the other to die.
The last man woke,
Long after dawn broke,
And he saw to his surprise,
Frozen at each others throats, his two allies.
He shook his head in pity,
Of how the could they be full of so much stupidity.
The last man turned to see,
The genie still floating silently,
The last man pocketed some precious gems,
Then the two of them left the cave of the condemned,
Outside it was a bright, beautiful day,
The two nodded, before going their separate ways.

Lonely is Just One Word
| Lonely is just one word chosen to represent so much To tell of feelings inside that the senses cannot touch Lonely can be in the teardrops on a bereaved person’s cheek Lonely can haunt a deserted room that Laughter once made proud Lonely is heard in echoed footsteps of a departing friend Lonely will not listen to the pleadings of a broken heart Mary Havran |
