The tunnel stretches beyond me
Miles and miles
I walk
Trying to escape the dark
A single light to guide my way
Getting lost beyond
My mind
In the darkest corners
The blades escape the depths
From beyond the veil
They strike
The weakest parts of me
I search within the light
For their guiding eyes
From home
To bring me back to life
My heart it longs for home
For their warmth
Their love
For a place to call my own
The darkness it threatens
To consume my mind
My dreams
All of my pleasant days
The tunnel narrows around me
The light glows brighter
Feet ache
But I am coming home
Home to you

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"
