In reply to: Iggy! 's message, "A poem." on 10:40:38 02/27/03 Thu

Lunch.
I sneak on, avoiding the gaze of the librarian bitch.
I see the poem,
and start to cry.
Is this really how you see us,
aino-chan?
Bickering over trivial things,
ignoring you?
Is that how you see me?
I love you more than my life.
As an author, I have no life.
You are my soulmate.
You�re worried about war?
I�m scared to death!
I�m worried about the draft.
I�m worried that I�ll never see you.
You�ve never had a serious relationship with anyone?
Neither have I!
I have been hated by my peers all my life.
My own parents despise me.
Only BJ loved me, and now he�s dead.
I have only you.
If you die, I die as well.
I either waste away, into the wind, pretending to go on,
or I down all my pills and fall asleep
forever.
We are one.
I feel your pain, your sadness.
I would do anything for you.
Words cannot do justice
to my feelings now.
I would never turn you away
if you needed to talk.
If you need a shoulder,
I will provide one.

How dare you people?! I scream.
He needed comfort, and you turn him away!
I thought we were better people than that!
Our hostility is for the authors and J.T.,
not each other!

They glare at me.
I�m sure they�re thinking,
�There goes the fangirl again.
Why won�t she shut up?�
I don�t care,
but I make another mental note
to find a way around murder laws.
I once again consider sending you my phone number,
so we can talk at anytime.

I take my usual seat on the bus
and stare, unseeing, out the window.
I have Mock Trail tonight, I remember.
Maybe I won�t go,
even though competition is tomorrow.
It seems so selfish to spend time on that,
when you are in the grips of unexplainable emotions.

Tonight is an Internet night.
You won�t see this tomorrow.
Just always remember,
I love you,
no matter what.
You have filled a hole in my life,
one I didn�t even know was there,
and another I�ve learned to conceal
from my family.
For they would never understand,
nor would Tay.

�Life�s a bitch and then you die.�
So true.
We try all our lives to find what makes us complete,
our soulmates,
not knowing that, in the end, it will be torn away from us.
Some rise above it,
others just accept.
I cry, for I know the pain of loss
more than anybody should.
I know the pain of losing a child,
pain that no one should ever feel.

I know what you feel, my love.
We are one, and if you die,
I die.

  - Depression either makes us say things that we do not mean, or it does not allow us to say anything at all. -- Star S., 13:48:07 03/03/03 Mon
- >:-(Jim, I was not talking to you or about you. And the draft? I'm worried that they'll start it up again! We did not acuse you of anything, except for being a hormonaly-high man, which you are. Mihoshi, we have all been labled as SOMETHING. I am the fangirl MSTer, Joe's the hentai, you guys are the IFOS. Get over it. Ryoko, I do not care who I hurt, emotionally or phisicly, because no one ever cared if they hurt ME that way.
