How to Kill a Demon Small and black it is The safest place to be Stay for hours or days Silence is the key Shout out loud BOO Withdraw, withdraw Count to one, then to two Push off the ground Race far away Left leg up, right leg down Live to run another day Stop. Turn. It's there, with gnashing teeth Raise a fire - make it burn

Fade The scars all fade away As mem'ries fade to grey A past no longer present Becomes no longer relevant I will grow and I will learn To stop and not anymore yearn For what once was secretly mine Has been stolen now by time: The blood remains inside my veins As a reward for my old pains... Thank you, I say, for healing me, It took you to make me see My suffering was not the end And now I'm truly on the mend But I remember not at all How it used to feel to fall Nor recall how the pain felt When I would break, or burn, or melt For as the mem'ries fade to grey All my scars just fade away.

How To Say 'I Love You' Okay... Okay. Here's what I'm gonna do: I'll march right up to you and say, "Hello - I love you." Or is that too direct? Yes, I think it is, in which case I'll simply say, "I think you're just whizz!" Unless that's too weird... Who says 'whizz' anymore? (Apparently me, but no others for sure.) So now I have a problem, I'm not sure what to do: So many ways there are to say, "I love you." I don't want to sound weird, Or like I'm high on drugs; all I want to do is ask you for some hugs - well, and love, but that can just come later once I've proven how I am an expert dater. Not that I date too much, You're the only one for me! That I promise you, for my heart's been won only by yourself, There never has been any other (except one or two but that's not too many...) And now I am completely yours, so will you be mine? Oh, no, that's too cliché; I'd rather ask, 'Can I be thine?' But we're getting off track; I don't want to live a single moment longer unless you're who I'm with! (Please tell me that was better, I've few ideas left... Oh! Maybe I should ask my peers, they're bound to have advice!) ...No. No, I can't, if I don't do this myself, Go out with me you shan't... Okay... okay. Here's what I'm gonna do: Plain and simple, here it is - "I'm in love with you." There. I said it. And do you know what? I regret it not one bit. You don't feel the same, but that's okay, I just needed to get it off my chest (though now I'll move away...)

There's A Boy There's a boy who dreams his #life away, Under stars every night he just sits and waits, What he's searching for nobody seems to know, But when he finds his heart's desire he'll finally rejoice. There's a boy who dreams of a #life not his own, He's a child of the night or so they say, A son of the stars and a perfect light, He's a boy on his own who's lost his way. There's a boy who dreams with a hidden secret, He thinks it's too big to tell; He hides it well but not enough because when he's dreaming he doesn't see He means the whole world to the girl that is me.

Waiting For A Prince She's just a girl waiting on the world For a prince to come and save her Her eyes are bright and her hair curled And there is no-one prettier Yet she is full of self-doubt Will anybody love her? Her soft lips form a round pout As from slumber she does stir Just to find an empty space Instead of her dreamt-up sir She dresses in fancy white lace And waits inside her tower Will today make true her dreams? But it passes in a blur - 'Twas not that day, it seems. She's courted by an 'amateur' Who loves her more than any But she rejects his gifts of myrrh, Of his type there are too many And not enough of those she'd prefer One day she knows her prince will come And all her troubles he'll deter For no doubt he is the one - A master of love, a saboteur Of all matters of the heart, She does not know that he'll infer That she is not his other part O how harshly love does whir, She's just a girl waiting on the world For a prince who'll never save her.
