Amidst the darkest hour of my discontent
A cry I heard both savage and desperate
Belonging to one that I have loved

Down into the depths peered I
And cautiously descended
A great wonder to behold lurked there

It was both the monster and its victim
Somehow at odds while in perfect agreement
It is only in this place I'm told
That such a creature can exist

Help! he said again and kissed the beast
Proclaiming it beauteous
And I..stood and wondered what to do.

Careful aim, but what is vital?
What can be spared the man yet kill the animal?
Till almost dawn I fired in vain.

Decision made known it's time approaching
Both glad of rest and grieved of loss
I abandoned care and unloaded my armoury

Shotgun blasts and grenades
Climb the ladder to Self Preservation
But soft! It staggers!

A Trick it is surely!
Raged my carefull flesh
Yet time suggests not
Nor the deep chest rattle and sighs

Something I had done?
I know not, nor ever will.

Cautiously I approached
Poked it with a stick
Something moaned and I..

..Screamed like a girl
And wet my pants
While trying to run
Four ways at once.

The beast it seems
It seems
Has died.

And I?
I carry home the one I have Loved
And look on in wonder
And Wonder.

I just got this as a chain letter from one of my good friends. It really hit a nerve for me.

1. I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you.

2. No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is, won't make you cry.

3. Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.

4. A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart.

5. The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can't have them.

6. Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.

7. To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.

8. Don't waste your time on a man/woman, who isn't willing to waste their time on you.

9. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be grateful.

10. Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened.

11. There's always going to be people that hurt you so what you have to do is keep on trusting and just be more careful about who you trust next time around.

12. Make yourself a better person and know who you are before you try and know someone else and expect them to know you.

13. Don't try so hard, the best things come when you least expect them to.

REMEMBER: WHATEVER HAPPENS; HAPPENS FOR A REASON.
