A letter to Ophelia

Before you grab those orchids think to yourself "Does he actually love you?" The answer is he will break your heart before finding a new girl. The girl will be just as pretty as you, but be full of innocence. You won't be able to win the hearts of men if you are dead. Floating down the river, waiting for new blood to run through your veins as he breaks your heart throughout everything you did for him. Be patient, young Ophelia. Clovers will grow out of your grave as young children grab them without thinking of you and how you decided a boy was worth more than just grabbing some other flowers that were closer in reach. They may not be as pretty or as sweet, but in time, you will grow to love them. Because before you know it, your flowers have wilted and you are stuck trying to grab some more waiting knowing one day you will meet your watery grave. Ophelia, he is not worth it. He is a fool and so are you. But promise me you will not go after those flowers ...

Could I do something that isn't just sit in silence and watch anime As my jaw locks and my teeth clench In front of my computer screen as I hear the words "Heroes Never Die." My soul is the flickering light as the end of the tunnel A spark gone too soon. Flowers painted on bedside dressers Glitter embedded into carpets Tears staining the sheets that slowly caress me to sleep A simple hello, is all i've wanted. please dont leave me

Old Forgotten Words and Ancient Memories

Lorelei Hemmings stuck at the bottom of a lake Unable to make an appearance to her own wake Her Boyfriend did this, you know He broke her heart and let her go To Drown. To Drown. To Drown. He filled a crate of memories to drag her down Lorelei was unable to be found for 20 years She waded herself out of the water, unable to stop her tears Black blood oozes down her nose She became a Siren, unable to decompose I wrote this little pretty ditty when I wanted to write a short story about how sirens were just girls who were drowned. I actually really loved the character and the plot so think of this as sort of a prologue. If people enjoy this, I'll definitely post more of my work. Until next time Glitter Flakes, ~Kathleen
