Saffron: Hello Hello! Haven't written anything in a while. My muses seem to have abandoned me. By muses, I mean, Ryoki and Bariku.

Dragon: So now I'm stuck with her…

Saffron: Oh hush, anyway. I'm so happy that people actually think my dribble is good! Thank you!

Dedicated to my loyal fans!

Down the street

To the right

A little house

Awake at night

………………………..

Snowy locks

Turning red

By the blood that leaks

From the gashes in my head

………………………….

For as long as I can remember, day after day

You cause me pain

Why do you insist on being this way?

……………………………

But something's amiss

You eyes, they plead

For help or understanding?

What do you need?

……………………………

Mask with a smile

Day after day

To hide your sins

Or I must pay

…………………………

I turn and run

When you come near

Away from this place

To escape my fears

………………………

The one who knows

Of ancient powers

Offers help

While I count the hours

……………………………

'Till I must return

The final bell

My home, my prison

My personal hell

……………………………….

Down the path

Open the door

Here comes the fist blow

I'm on the floor

…………………………………

The noise begins

I feel like floating

I say I'm sorry

You stand above me gloating

…………………………………

Swirling mist

Of red and white

Screams that echo

Throughout the night

……………………………………………

What do you want? What sign did I miss?

I AM alive!

I DO exist!

……………………………………

The light is faded

All hope is lost

You will pay

But at what cost?

…………………………………..

To be alone again

To lose the one you hold dear

The one you rule over

The one who lives in fear

………………………………….

Turn the handle

Open the door

Here I lie

Bleeding on the floor.

……………………………………

You weren't worth the tears I cried

My final step

My suicide.
