It's like Heaven laid bare before my eyes
A beatuiful sight never seen twice
And it makes my heart ache, my throat close tight
It's for only you that I cry tonight
Tears for the nights you should have been mine
And sighs for the days I should have been yours
It belongs to you, this love undying
You're the only I should ever cry for
And so, to you, I offer all I am
Ev'ry single thing I possibly can
My arms to carry when your feet get sore
My ear to listen when you get bored
I will attempt to be your everything
Just as you are everything to me
Judgment hit humanity hard. Within days after it began our numbers plummeted faster than anyone could've predicted and showed no signs of slowing. I was so young when it started that I have no idea what it was like before Judgment started, but my sister, Robin, used to tell me stories about school, TV, and things like that--she was eight when everything began while I was only three. Mom and Dad didn't like to talk about what it was like before; they were always so tired and stressed, but I guess that would happen to anyone in a situation anything like what had happened to us all. Everyone we ever saw always had that same look in their eye
I'm in my own private Hell, a little place under the bridge where no one but the homeless and hoodlums go. The sky is a lethargic and heavy grey, resting upon the shoulders of the world but in my Hell it's dark. I'm sitting down as the ecstasy of the heart-pounding blood rush dulls everything to startling clarity--this is not a contradiction, it is the truth. The corners are sharper, the rocks are grittier and the air is crisper, but somehow, in a way I have never found an accurate way to describe, I feel a bit disconnected from all of it. I'm never sure how long it takes me to wake up but it's always the same: a
You are the sound of rain
The feel of darkness, surrounding
No comfort. Your body
(myworld)
Is gone and I want to
SCREAM
Because it's me, my fault
(killmenow)
Because it's me, my fault
(canteatcantsleepcantbreath)
And I love you
(yousaythesameiwontforget)
But I don't know what to do
Without you.
I sail this sea of dark.
The stars,
My guiding lights,
Shine in your eyes.
I cling to this raft of life.
The sail,
My beaten will,
Is filled by your breath.
In my hand is the compass,
Its path,
My only destination,
Lies within your heart.
I walk this endless forest.
The earth,
My strongest support,
Is held in your hands.
I climb these trees.
The sky,
My true freedom,
Is your amazing love.
I eat these berries.
Each bite,
My only sustenance,
Is another wonderful kiss.
I wake up next to you
The dream,
My whole world,
Sleeps softly beside me.
It's like heaven laid bare before my eyes
Such a beautiful sight never seen twice
And it makes my heart ache, my throat close tight
It's for only that I cry tonight.
Tears for the nights you should have been mine
And sighs for the days I should have been yours.
It belongs to you, this love undying--
You're the only I should ever cry for.
And so to you I offer all I am
Ev'ry single thing I possibly can:
My arms to carry when your feet get sore;
And my ear for listening when you get bored.
I will attempt to be your ev'rything
Just as you are everything to me.
Happiness is knowing
(in my heart
in my mind
in my soul)
That I am free
(no chains to bind me)
To show the world
(my pride
my joy
my pain
my sorrow)
That I have nothing to hide
(liecheatsteal)
From anyone

...that I'm beginning a project, immediately.
This project is simple: I will write something of literary value every day for the next year. I really hope I have the patience and determination to make it through. As of now, I leave this account. Goodbye and thank you all for the support you have shown me.
I hope I can grow to be deserving of it.
