Author's Note: A series of poems on different shipping in Neopets, along with the names of the shippings in question. (Most shipping have a couple names, but I go with what's most prominent.) First off is the Zafara of Twisted Roses, and Dr. Sloth. Please note that I very aware of the fact that my poetry violates a lot of those syllable and rhyme scheme rules English teachers like to talk about. I'm sorry. I'm new to poetry writing, and hope to improve with time. If you have any suggestions for either pairings, shipping names, or constructive criticism, please review.

I own none of the characters used or any part of Neopets whatsoever.

I shut my eyes tight

But I still hear your scream

I don't say word

But you know what I mean.

It's not that you're a bad guy

It's that I cannot be

I'm so numb inside

You can't save me.

You can't save yourself

We're both going down tonight

And you'll touch my hair

And lie that we'll be alright.

I shut my eyes tight

But I still hear your scream

I don't say a word

But you know what I mean

I can tell you're lying

And I still hold your hand

You know I'm broken

And yet you ask me if you can...

It's not that you're a bad guy

It's that I cannot be

I'm so numb inside

You can't save me

Light green and full skunk,

Colors swirl in my mind

You called me a dumb punk

But on my bed I find...

A wilted black rose

Bent at the spine

Twisted and dark

I now know you are mine

I shut my eyes tight

But I still hear you scream

I don't say a word

But you know what I mean

I know that you're a bad guy

And I don't wanna be

In love with with my downfall

But, please, kiss me.

Just once, kiss me...
