Forever in your debt...

By Methos

You were always there
to tear me down
when no one else
would break my dreams
i could always
count on you

I aspired to things of beauty
though you would have me see
things that i was
things that i couldn't be
your negativity destroying

you ripped my ambitions
so dearly from me
and replaced them
with cold falseness
giving life
to my nightmares

I wished only normal dreams
and days of simplicity
yet you filled my life
with complex equations
i've yet to solve

i could count on you
when i needed pain
when life was too good
you would wave your
magic wand leaving
demons for me to find

After you left i nearly
succeeded, till bloodmoon came
and your call evaporated
all hopes of recovering
from the wounds you inflicted

Now i sit below bottoms end
looking up at my life
seeing it once again
from rock bottom
i could always count on you
to take me down..

    Well if it wasn't a person, it's probably the world. You get a bit stronger from climbing back up every time, some day you'll be strong enough, and smart enough to stay... hold on

    Oh Methos You words echo with a hollow beauty only one who knows truly the depths that pain can be felt can attain!!! Makes me want to put my arms around you and protect you from all that is vile in the world....A soul as pure as yours should never haveto

  • A former member wrote: Most people critisize and attack the very same things they wished they pocessed. My thought? You're better than her. And you're better without her. Don't take what she says at face value. Look deeper to see if she's actually unsure of herself.
