And here's the second anti V-day piece of the year. I think it's listed as being posted on the 15th, which is retarded because I had to wait for nearly an hour for the document to upload. As anyone can see, it's not that big and that shouldn't have happened. In fact, I had to upload another doc. in its place and do the cut n' paste thing. Grr...

But enough about that. As promised, I have kept the tradition of posting 'against the grain' pieces on the commercialist crapday that is Valentines Day. Yes, I'm cynical. Deal with it.

I think this poem is more bitter than Shattered Star, but nevertheless, I think it gets the message across.

Again, no specific dedication -- it goes out to all you V-Day haters! w00t!

I used to dream about you so. Creating silly fairy tales in my head about the promises to cross your lips, about the promise of my being your princess, a promise of 'happily ever after'. You never kept them then, when we were kids playing around. Why should this be any different? I...

Should've Known Better

You never change, do you Sora?
Hah, why do I bother to ask?
You did it once
You'd do it again
Didn't think you would so fast

Only two days since we'd returned
Things finally the way they should be
Brought you the letter
Should've known better
That adventure held precedence over me

You've left me
Once more
Walked through
The door

Left behind my charm
Guess that's a hint
No longer a glow
Merely a glint

Alone once again, watching empty waves
On an Island famed for dreams
Built by the light
Of the children's might
But nothing is as it seems

This Island is nothing special
No different from any other
A protected land
Without love
Is darkened ground undercover

Now you've really crossed the line...

I know you're not returning this time

But even if you do
My heart's closed
Firmly opposed
To falling in love with you

Again...

A broken heart yields sharp pieces
Lusting to revenge, to cut
You into little pieces
Until your life ceases
To spout lies, to shut

Me up, keep me around
Until you're good and ready

Locking the door to light
My kingdom of light.
