Once there lived a woman
Whom life wasn't fair
She fell madly in-love
A man beyond her reach
She ran away
Thinking her heart would forget
Time will heal
And yet it didn't
She would sing songs
Few would hear
"She's a fairy" they'd say
But only knew pieces of the story
Her songs of love
Her mind broke
It comforted her
A mirror of secrets
It too would betray
It killed her hopes
Her life began to wither
And her heart became cold
He underneath the same moon
Happy in his voice
Songs in her throat
The one he betrays her with
Hatred is all she felt
As she paced the floor
Her thoughts of what next
Time began to stand
"He's meant for more
Not to betray a king
He's meant for justice"
She cries
She opens her window
Throws out the reflected secret
Through tears
She watches it shatter
Quickly her mind races
The next move
A fatal thought
It's time
Quickly she climbs
Up the stairs
On the roof
It's time
She wipes her tears
Takes one last ragged breath
Stares at the ground
Jump
Her mind is clear
Her heart is stopped
Broken
Time continues
A strange smile rests
Her eyes closed
Peaceful now
As he looks on his mistake
Why must one die
For the other to realize
This, my friend
The story of Lance and his Laine

A more uncommon love story
Yet, the greatest ever known
No other love can match His

Love of Metal
Inside of me
There is a Fender guitar
blaring
Loud as can be
my ears are still ringing

A True Love Story
She was here once, in my dark mind,
a face so pure, and eyes so kind.
Her skin like silk, and her thoughts
by Ty Miller
A boy and a girl,
the best of friends.
From elementary to high school
from beginning to end.
Through all those years
their friendship
by Amber Rogne
Just lay there
Lay there and don't look
You're so handsome
When you're all alone
I wish I could be there with you
But you
Don't
