Long Ones
"The Wolven Way
And when the moon arises,
The soul again set free,
The glowing orb reprises,
The hidden mystery.
Let loose once more on moonlit night,
I prowl the same terrain.
I hunt with senses smell and sight,
To quell the growing pain.
In shadows silent stalk my prey,
Driven by the moon.
I hunt by night and not by day,
And howl the wolven tune.
The only law be tooth and fang,
It’s that, which I obey,
I feed the driving hunger pang,
For that’s the wolven way.
My wolfish eyes glow eerie red,
At the edges of the light,
I shall not halt until I’ve fed,
Nor shall I rest this night.
My heartbeat is the only sound,
In rhythm with my pace.
At last, a scent upon the ground,
And I at once give chase.
The kill is swift, In perfect form,
I feed by the moon light,
I thank my prey for blood that’s warm,
And give thanks to the night.
The moon reflected in my eye,
Glowing gaunt and pale,
And I with head raised to the sky,
Voice my wolven wail."

(Think about this one.....)
10th grade
As I sat there in English class, I stared at the girl next to me. She was my so called "best friend." I stared at her long, silky hair, and wished she was mine. But she didn't notice me as that, and I knew it.
After class, she walked up to me and asked me for the notes she had missed the day before and I handed them to her. She said "thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I wantedto tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.
11th grade
The phone rang. On the other end, it was her. She was in tears, mumbling on and on about how her love had broken her heart. She asked me to come over because she didn't want to be alone, so I did. As I sat next to her on the sofa, I stared at her soft eyes, wishing she was mine. After 2 hours, one Drew Barrymore movie, and three bags of chips, she decided to go to sleep. She looked at me, said "thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.
Senior year
The day before prom she walked to my locker. "My date is sick" she said; he's not going to go. Well, I didn't have a date, and in 7th grade, we made a promise that if neither of us had dates, we would go together just as "best friends." So we did. Prom night, after everything was over, I was standing at her
front door step, I stared at her as she smiled at me and stared at me with her crystal eyes. I want her to be mine, but she doesn't think of me like that, and I know it.
Then she said "I had the best time, thanks!" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.
Graduation Day
A day passed, then a week, then a month. Before I could blink, it was graduation day. I watched as her perfect body floated like an angel up on stage to
get her diploma. I wanted her to be mine, but she didn't notice me like that, and I knew it. Before everyone went home, she came to me in her smock and hat, and cried as I hugged her. Then she lifted her head from my shoulder and said, "You're my best friend, thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.
A Few Years Later
Now I sit in the pews of the church. That girl is getting married now. I watched her say "I do" and drive off to her new life, married to another man. I wanted her to be mine, but she didn't see me like that, and I knew it. But before she drove away, she came to me and said "you came!". She said "thanks" and kissed me on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.
Funeral
Years passed, I looked down at the coffin of a girl who used to be my "best friend." At the service, they read a diary entry she had written in her high school years. This is what it read:
I stare at him wishing he was mine, but he doesn't notice me like that, and I know it. I want to tell him, I want him to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love him but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why. I wish he would tell me he loved me!
I wish I did too... I thought to my self, and then I cried.
