Torn

Crossed out words and black ink smudges

Dense ridges in the page left by angry handwriting

Imagining the frustration and laughing to myself

Why do I feel like a child again?

Not realizing how much each crossed out word wounded me

Waiting promptly for perfection to arrive at the door

Parental lectures about spending time with "normal" friends

Missing my most important friend of all

Nothing has changed

Learning about long time relationships

My best friend refusing to talk to me, when I need him most

An unknown fight between coven and tribe

Feeling like a porcelain doll, fragile and untouched

SAVE THE OLYMPIC WOLF

They cease to amaze me with broken treaties and constant lies

Torn between love and friendship

When it comes to enemies, I am neutral, impartial, I am Switzerland

Not your average bedtime story

A story of pity, hurt, and violence

A transformation and a feeling of self-loathing

Being told I am throwing my life away

Just like the old days, daily visits from my best friend

Graduation looming

Newborns wreaking havoc on innocent people

Gazing at the cold scar on my forearm, wondering.

He wants me to pick him, he poured out his heart to me.

What do I do?

An abrupt, disorderly kiss and a sickening crunch

Once again, I manage to hurt myself

A foreseen proposal

An old-fashioned ring

Light kisses on my hand

And we were engaged

The battle

Both "families" would do anything to protect me

Before I knew it a fight broke out

Flashes of white, brown, and grey clouded my eyes

Orange flames and metallic screeches filled the air

My body froze when I heard the news

Seeing him lying there so broken and weak

His face lighting up when I walked in the room

Patching up the holes in our broken friendship

I leave him with a slight kiss; he will never be the same again

We will never be just friends anymore.
