A/N: I haven't written in a while and I'm pretty rusty. Also, this was part of a writing exercise I wanted to try. It didn't turn out too bad actually. Could have been worse. This is my first real attempt at Angst. Please, review and tell me how I did. Oh! By the way, this is obviously Katniss. She's in the woods back home. I always imagined her up in a tree, arms curled around her knees, just thinking.
The sun is shining
Life goes on
All around
Moves without meBut I feel so cold
Numb
Deadened to feeling
Is it better this way?The silence of the woods
Is deafening
A slap in the face
I can hear long silent screamsI see
In my mind's eye
A different forest
One filled with unknown tall trees
Hidden traps
And death
Part of me will forever stay thereThen the film starts
A horror movie caught in replay
Playing only for me
I can't look awayFinding Peeta half drowned in his own blood
Feverish, clammy
Inches from making the final jump into the void
Do I love him?Clove coming after me
Pleasure at the thought of carving my face
Thresh pounding her head in
The knife comes lower LowerThe boy I killed
For killing rue
Arrow through his neck
Horror shoots through my heartCato
Lying there, mauled
Was it really mercy?
Or did I enjoy his end?Rue
Oh God RueSpear through her chest
Gasping for air
Sing to herThe last song
Death bears her away
Oh GodIt's all my fault
I'm so sorryThey haunt me
Reach for me in dreams
Shadows in the day
Waiting to surface againAlways
Forever
There
No rest for the victoriousHere in the silence
They all come flooding forward
Clamoring for attention in my mind
Making sure I never forget
A single detail
Never letting me restMy anguished scream rends the air
Make it go awayI sob
In the silence
Pleading for some reliefIt's warm outside
The sun shines
Life goes on
Such a shallow world we live inI'm so cold
Numb
Trapped in my memories
There is no escape
