The way your hand fits in mine, even more perfect. Your smile means everything to me, especially the way your eyes sparkle when you do. Your hair is the perfect shade of brown, and your eyes the perfect shade of blue. The way you say I'm bea.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/starsam/519962/ I breathe for you, for you always. The moment you said you didn't care was the moment I stopped breathing. But remember, baby, you saved me for a while. You kept me here for just a bit longer. So thank you, for helping me breathe. You should know that I'll miss you, more than anyone else. I know you.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/starsam/519958/ I do it every nightI don't know what went wrong But tonight it hurtsAnd I want to be strong The blood is everywhere nowAll over the floor, my hand, and arm I guess I hit a veinOr just caused too much harm But the sad truth isAs I try to breathe .. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/starsam/514066/ A love that can only be needed, not wantedA love expressed by yelling, not smilingA love made to hurt, not healA love so strong it just can't be real A need to see your face at least once a dayA need to touch you in any wayA need so strong that it can healA need so complete it m.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/starsam/510010/ This poem is about something I've been feeling lately about my family. It puts everything I've needed to say for these past few weeks into words. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/starsam/404595/             “I don’t know if I can do this anymore…” I looked up. What did he just say? Did I hear that right? No, of course not. We were in this together, forever. He promised!      &nbsp.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/starsam/397930/ Daniel and I never became more than friends, though at first I wanted to be more. I soon found out that having him as a friend was just enough to satisfy me and tie me over until I really fell in love.To this day, I still don't know what came over me. I guess I was just a teenager in love who di.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/starsam/388722/ Not much else was said between us that day. Daniel did come back a few days later, though.            "Can you just tell me the truth?" I asked. He was still in the middle of coming through my window.     &.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/starsam/388715/             I woke up at ten thirty and took a shower. When I got back, Daniel was on my bed. He really needed to learn how to use my front door. He'd only done it twice.            ".. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/starsam/388714/ A month went by without Daniel talking to me. At first I figured he'd talk to me when he wanted to, but that never really seemed to happen. I was beginning to think he would never talk to me again. But of course, he took me by surprise.          &n.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/starsam/388713/ I don't really know what happened at school that day. I couldn't concentrate. Daniel wasn't in English that day. He skipped. I knew he did because I asked someone in my class if they'd seen him.            I didn't ride the bus home like I was.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/starsam/387902/ Daniel came back Monday night and called his dad telling him he'd stay over at his friends' house again. They got into an argument. It was heartbreaking listening to it. His dad obviously wanted him home, but Daniel kept telling him that this was how he was dealing with it. When the conversation end.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/starsam/387901/ When the sun came up, I got out of bed and showered, locking my door every time I left my room and taking the key with me everywhere I went. I tried to take a quick shower in case Daniel woke up, but I didn't want to get out. The water was warm and I didn't have to think about anything. &nbsp.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/starsam/387898/ Weeks passed and Daniel came over whenever he wanted. He didn't have to sneak in anymore and I didn't have to hide him. He would leave at ten on school nights and eleven on weekends. On weekends he snuck back in and slept over. I didn't mind sharing my bed. Like I said, it was nice.  &.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/starsam/387896/ The next time I saw Daniel wasn't the same as all the rest. He seemed so different now that liking him was a possibility. I had never noticed how precious his face was. How beautiful his eyes were. How perfect his skin was. He looked like an angel.        .. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/starsam/387895/  I woke up in the middle of the night in my bed. I didn't remember moving from my chair to my bed. I got up and looked around. The last thing I remembered was reading while Daniel studied. I looked at my clock. It was four A.M. There was a note from Daniel.     &n.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/starsam/387894/ I spent Saturday keeping a closer eye on Gracie than I usually did. I didn't have anything better to do, or more entertaining. My mom was back Saturday night, and Gracie was tired of me being around her so much. So I went to the mall. I knew I needed more clothes. The Goth thing probably wouldn't la.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/starsam/387892/ "I made a friend, Mom," I said after school on Friday. The rest of the week had gone by smoothly and I talked to Daniel at lunch every day. We talked a bit in class, too, but not much. He had to pay attention because they were reviewing for midterms.      &n.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/starsam/387890/              I didn't plan on falling head over heels in love when I moved here. I planned on becoming a loner, actually. I would be the new girl and that's all I would be. Putting forth the effort to become more than that was too hard.
