			<title>Falling for You</title>
			<description>Lame, I know. But I liked the idea. Conceptually, it was great. On paper, I'm not sure. Or, rather, now, in text. Eh, whatever. :P

Yep, it's another old one from 2005-06-ish.</description>

			<title>Silent Sight</title>
			<description>I don't really know, to this day, what truely made me write this. I have a few ideas, but none of them are...normal, I guess. One idea, though, is that I was influenced by one of the greatest movies of all time: The Phantom of the Opera (2004 edition). Go</description>

			<title>Robotic</title>
			<description>I used to love this poem. Now I think it's kind of stupid and cheesy and doesn't flow well enough. I'm putting it up anyways, though, for critiquing and all that. Comment with any suggestions or critique!

			<title>Mermaid's Grace</title>
			<description>I wrote this in the summer of 2005 I think. It's supposed to be about the transformation into a mermaid a girl goes through. Not sure exactly why I wrote it. It's kind of bad, though, and I'm sorry about that. :P</description>

			<title>Her Perfect Death</title>
			<description>I wrote this a while back, or rather started it, and finally finished it Aug. 12, 2007. It's not the best, but I thought I'd put it up anyways. I know that it's not entirely realistic (with rigor setting in, and then mentioning thinking), but I like it.

			<title>Nothing But Flowers Will Do</title>
			<description>I know, I know, just shoot me now.

The rhyming is terribly forced. I realize that. I'll probably rewrite it eventually.

There are two meanings to this, but I'll only give you a hint: one is a flower, one is a child.

Get it?

			<title>Can't Escape You</title>

But does it apply to you?
