Fall to peices

I fall to peices,
when you are not near.
Though I know that you love me still.
It’s better when you are
close to me and not far.
I shall stay here in peaces
till you return.
I shall be alone.
When you return,
you shall rebuild the peaces of me.
And make me hole again.

Full moon

Majestic is the night
With there shining golden moon
Makes me want to dance
Under your majestic light
I wish to dance with the fairies
While listening to the owl’s mournful cries
I shall dance till the light of dawn
Breaks through the lonely darkness.
I shall head home
Then I to sleep in my bed.

Rain

Rain… she barely noticed it as it came down upon her.
It was hurting again. She didn’t want it to hurt anymore.
She wanted it to stop. She wanted to be happy again.
No, not happy. That only made it worse.
She wanted to be numb. To feel nothing.

I cry for you

I cry for you
and I don’t know why
it’s only because our moment
is past.
Though there was no love
I still cry for you.
Like a morning dove
in the evening.
I hate feeling this way
alone with only
my thoughts of you
and my tears.

WYATT

WYATT
Yes, he is but he’s still human. They’re all human no different then you or me.

(They hug and start to dance just for fun before Kipp cuts in acting mad. But not really meaning it.)

JEAN
So when do you leave.

KIPP
I don’t know yet. But I know that Johnathan and Theodore are leaving sooner. They leave in two months. I think Dylan and Wyatt leave later towards the end of the summer. So I might be leaving before them.

JEAN
Oh, well we should live through this summer like it’s the last.

KIPP
Don’t say it like that.

JEAN
Well I’m saying it. It might come true you don’t know that enough to say that I wont lose you.

I don’t want to here it.

JEAN
I know you don’t but it won’t make the thoughts go away. Or the reality that i could happen Kipp you need to understand that.

(She is becoming emotional upset with the situation.)

KIPP
Lets not talk about it.

JEAN
Fine, we won’t but the problem isn’t going to go away.

KIPP
I know it’s not. I just don’t want to think about it till it gets closer to the time that I leave for training.

JEAN
All right, well do that.

(She smiles but really is trying to hold back the tears.)

Hay, Jean, Kipp. Dylan wants to know if you guys want to go hang out.

KIPP
I don’t know.

JEAN
Where would we be going?

PENELOPE
I don’t know? He didn’t really say. He just told me to come over here.

(Jean and Kipp noticed Dylan jump up onto a table.)

DYLAN
Hay, everyone can you be quiet.
(Everyone continues to talk. He clears his throat.)
Hay, can you guys shut the hell up for a few moments I have a few words to say.
(Everyone goes quiet and looks up at Dylan as he stares towards Penelope.)
Penelope Cain, I have something to say to you in front of all my friends. I hope that this is all right with you.

PENELOPE
It is Dylan, but what do you have to say to me from standing on the table.

DYLAN

LILY

CHARLES
I know that you don’t want me to go but I’m sure Kipp and I will save each others backsides.

ELVIRA

CHARLES
Well your lucky to Kipp. Jean’s going to ride your ass for you to get things together. Are you going to ask her to marry you?

KIPP
No, I don’t think that it would be a good idea to do that. Its not that I don’t want to its just in case I don’t come back. I think that it would kill her. Well what about you?

CHARLES
I have the same reason as you. But you know it would kill them ether way.

KIPP
I know. At least well have someone to send letters to unlike Johnathan and Theodore. They’ll only be sending ones to there mothers.

(They laugh at the though.)

CHARLES
I know where lucky and I thank god for that.

KIPP
I do too. Well lets go get our girls.

Unshure

I must say
with out hesitation
I want you
forever and a day.
But I know from fires burt
to ashes
I have learned not to believe
a single word
of love and devotion
or never leavening my side.
For in the end
they do
like melting snow in springs
sunny days
so don’t worry
I shall understand
when you go
that I shall
die alone.

America 2

America giving me a call
Why the hell do you do the things that you do
America giving me a yell
Crushing down the little voices that tell the truth
America why are you such a bitch
Messing up the world that I love
Making wars and starving your people
America you’re a bitch
So stop calling me on the phone
To try and get me back
Under your broken wings
For I have cut stirrings that have held me down
So that I could try out my wings
To forget what you have done
America I unplugged my phone
To let you know
That I don’t care any more
To listen to you
To try and hold me down
From opening the door of truth
So call some one else to listen to your crap
Because I closed my ears to you
Till you can tell me the truth.
