I never used to believe in fate
until I met you
Our two stars
shining resplendent
in an otherwise bland sky
above a careless city
made me wonder if maybe
it were true
Please
don't let me lose faith
in the thing I've come to embrace
Please
don't let me be wrong
about you
Please
don't break my heart
because I'll never heal
But I'll go on loving you
bracing myself for the day
upon which you say
"I just said I love you,
I didn't say for how long."
My dear Adonis,
how I'd like to be your Venus,
but I'm nothing so good;
just a mere mortal
in awe of your magnificence.
I am Ophelia
longing for her sweet Prince,
a distant dreamer
plagued by nightmares.
I'll never aspire
to the heights of your ambitions.
So I'll remain below,
an earthly vessal
for your heartfelt passions.
It's all I have to offer-
a distant haven
for you to rest your wearied body.
Take refuge in my embrace
and calm my mind with your presence.
I cannot recall the hour
in which I noticed presently
the plight of life's idolatry,
worshipping the curt flower.
Sickened, I fled hastily-
seeking reprieve from this languor-
hoping to somehow conquer
the hollow futility.
Resplendent in pristine white,
a nearby dove stretched it wings.
Enchanted, I begged it sing,
unfeeling the Serpent's bite.
Its song sent my heart flailing
and my fingers, coiled up tight,
gripped its neck with all my might.
While the snake went slithering,
I, in my soiled hands, beheld
the dying, broken body
of Youth's doomed emissary.
Even once all fears were quell'd,
upon my tarnished fingers
Innoce

Just got home yesterday from Europe. I went to Ireland and Germany with three of my friends. It was the greatest experience I've ever had. Only now I'm back home in the States and have already had to say goodbye to two of my best friends. I always thought that I would be so glad to get out of this city and away from everything, but now that it's time to leave everyone, I'm realizing just how upset I am. Come Saturday, I'll be a college girl in Chicago.... and I'm not finished packing yet...
