There was very little noise in the small apartment Edward shared with Roy. All that could be heard was the rush of cars and the sound of a clock slowly but surely marking time. Edward had not slept well these past few nights. His slumber had been haunted by the memory of his mother, and Al. He was no closer to restoring his and Alphonse's bodies then when they started out. It was beginning to feel hopeless, but either Alphonse pushed these thoughts away, or he simply didn't feel them as sharply as his older brother did. Edward worried so much that he would fail to keep his promise to his brother, that it was sometimes difficult for even Roy t

When you get a really bad pain somewhere, say, in your stomach, and it's really bad, it's blinding. It makes you want to double over, contract into yourself, every muscle tightening, but you try to resist its power, you grit your teeth and close your eyes and you try to show it that you're stronger, better, than it is, but, in the end, you lose and it's overwhelming. Your eyes snap open and your vision goes white hot and blurry at the edges and you want to cry out, to scream, but you can't because your throat has constricted and all that comes out is a strangled whisper, the sensation crashing into you like a wave, and you can't stop it...

He's everything you want, he's everything you need He's everything inside of you that you wish you could be He says all the right things at exactly the right time But he means nothing to you, and you don't know why You're waiting for someone to put you together You're waiting for someone to push you away There's always another wound to discover There's always something more you wish he'd say Hiro sat in Shuichi's bedroom, helping the singer go over some new lyrics and music to go to said lyrics. He lay cross-legged on the floor beside the bed as Shuichi sat at the computer, synchronizing a set of music. The pink-haired boy was babblin

Sakura Haruno was an intelligent young woman. She wasn't naïve by any standard, and she understood the workings of the world. She knew the flow of this life, and she accepted it. She knew she loved Sasuke-kun, and she knew he would never love her back. She knew his heart belonged to another, the same person she had rejected so long ago. Naruto Uzumaki. She knew that when he snuck out to meet her, whether on the training grounds or somewhere in the forest, he was trying to sneak away from his own desires. She would have had to be blind to miss the way the Uchiha looked at Naruto. She knew that, because of this, she would have a better chance

I am the Greek goddess Aphrodite, icon of beauty. I am an Egyptian high priestess. I am loved. I am worshipped. I am a queen, Adored and admired. I am a Roman deity, Honored for my divinity. I am Isis, revered And venerated. I am beautiful, languid In my elegance Like Cleopatra of the Nile. I am flawless, perfection Without pressure. I am yours, and that Is the exquisite distinction.

Snow softly falls In autumn fire Twinkling emeralds Meet sparkling sapphires She laughs; He smiles; The mistletoe hangs Suspiciously unobtrusive As they drink warm cider This is their Christmas, Would that all ours could Be as wonderful.

She is like the clouds, Soft and unnoticed, Guided gently by the wind Over a field of dreams And a sea of wishes To her lover's arms Where she becomes a Tangible vision of beauty. She is like the river, Constant motion unending, Moving swiftly past a Ship of foolish fancies Packed to the stern To her lover's arms Where she becomes a Corporeal spirit everlasting. She is like the trees, Grand and majestic, Swayed calmly by the wind Through the bluebird's Sweet harmonious notes Of a love song meant for no one To her lover's arms Where she becomes an Elusive dream come true.

Life is a road We all must tread, Though our hearts Be as heavy as lead. Sometimes the path We travel is rough With stones that make Our feet worn and tough. Other times the road Is level and smooth, Giving us time to be Healed and soothed. We all must continue Down this path called Life, Through all the hardships, Pain and strife, Until we come to a Gate of pearls and gold, That is the end of the road, And we know we are Home.
