Disclaimer: I only own the following poem, "Lost"

"A Robin to a Raven"
Part Six:

Robin;

There are days when I get lost in myself
In the ever blackening void that I used to call my mind
It once was my friend, but it has abandoned me,
Just like everything else I could ever find

I think too much causing me to get into trouble
I get lost in memory, lost in remorse,
Lost in self-accusation, lost in myself
The only way out is the hard way, of course

I struggle against myself, pulling, hurting, strangling
Tearing myself apart, and dividing my already broken heart
I can't give up, I just can't! I have to resist with everything I have
I have to win by any means necessary, I have to outsmart

No, no! Leave me be! No more hurtful memories
They sting, they poke, they jab at my vital place
I curl up into a ball trying to protect it, the only thing
I have left is my heart. Without it I would only be occupied space

Please . . . don't leave me. Please stay with me
Until I can find myself, again. Until I can come back
From my emptiness inside of the darkness and the cold
Please stay until I can fend off this internal attack

How could you - the only thing I have left - leave?
Why did you leave me alone, so I could be a victim to me?
Isn't it so ironic? My heart being so heartless
I should have known, I should have seen . . . what was to be

There are nights when I get lost in myself
In the ever blackening void that I used to call my heart
It was once my friend, but it has abandoned me,
Just like everything else that left to depart

(what's left of) RAVEN

A/N: So that's why she doesn't want a relationship! She's been hurt so much, poor thing.
