Poems From Study Hall

"Faded" and "What Stayed"

These are currently being tossed around in my head. Totally made up on the spot. Enjoy...? RAILROAD TRACKS.

===============================================================================

Inky swirls in a pitch black night,

Foolish young men that insist on a fight,

Twinkling lights that used to burst through,

Gone in a mortal's blink of an eye;

Salvation still an option

For those that try.

All of it, dead, and lost to sin

All of my mind, stuck through with pins

Dissected for amusment

And laughed at with care

I left home that day

And cut off my hair.

Something has stayed

And it's causing me pain.

Who's joke was this?

I stand in the rain

To see if someone has waited for me

Or if, at the last moment, they decided to flee

I waited there for hours and hours on end

Before I decided that they'd disappoint me again.

=============================================================================

Both short, but both made up on the spot and with about six hours of sleep at quarter to eleven at night. I'm grouchy because of the sleepiness of it all. Enjoy anyways. I'm rather proud at how this turned out! :) Please comment and vote? Pretty please? With chocolate pudding?
