AN: This is the poem that originally was at the end of Light In The Darkness but I've written a better one so this one ended up in the scrap yard. It's more cute than anything in my opinion. The first two stanzas are for the city, the next two for Sharwyn and the last two for Punkin, an OC of mine.

Cornerstone by TheShadow

When it's all over where will you be

Selling yourself to the past

Forgetting who you've become

You

Are

Strong

You made it through the wailing

You walked through the war

You've made it to the reconstruction

You

Are

Chosen

When it's all over where will you be

Will you learn to love again

Forgetting he who has forgotten you

You

Are

Resilient

You made it here without him

You didn't need him to console you, but

You won't be able to rebuild without love

You

Are

Endearing

When it's all over where will you be

Will you dwell over you parents deaths

Forgetting their ransom for your life

You

Are

Treasured

You are being smiled upon from the stars

You need to make them proud of their sacrifice

You will be able to build without them since

You

Are

Strong

AN: I intially wrote this as a song which is quite common with me. It's about the pain of fighting.

Pain is my Friend by Xero

I can sense it
I can see it flowing into me
it's like a river, crimson, thick, like blood
it's insanity, lust, disease, and spite, all into my veins
I can feel it
all through you all through me
it's like a mountain, steep, high, like the cliff of dispair
it's the moon, red, blue, waxing into the wane
I can be it
I can inflict it all
it's like a scythe, silent, quick like death
it's the gaze, fear, strife and malice you all feel into one
Pain is me I am pain
In me all heart has been slain
and now the blood red rain
shall on my soul now stain
for now pain is my dearestfriend
and with him you will come to an end
