Number 8

Life's a ride
When finished ask yourself
Where do I go from here
What do I do now

Sports is my life
I have been playing for a long time
I love my family
They are a great support for me

I want you to stay
But I'm sick
Leave me and live your life
I cant help you

"Don't Go'

He told me he was going to be going away. I told him good for him and that I was happy for him. As I faked a smile on my face as he told me his plans and I pretended I was happy for him. He had been wanting to get out of this town. This whole time I was thinking please don't go. I need you here with me. I'm nothing without you. I was crying on the inside yet I looked happy on the outside. The time came for him to leave. I helped him pack his things. He told me that we would make this work so we wouldn't have to break up. I stood there as he left waving and all I felt was emptiness. The best thing in my life was leaving and there was nothing I could do. Weeks before he told me he was going to leave I wanted to tell him that I loved him but I was always to scared to. When he did tell me he was leaving I knew I couldn't tell him I loved him. I didn't want to hold him back from something he wanted to do. So here I stand now watching him leave. He doesn't know how much I am hurting or that I even love him. It is all too late now. I can't go back and change the past. I wonder if I did tell him that I loved him would he still be here with me. But I will never know because I never told him don't go.

Conversation from Arrow

Oliver: Hey
Loral: Please do not ask me if I am okay because I am sick to death of everyone asking me that.
Oliver: would never do that
Loral: Good
Oliver: You Okay
Loral: The doll maker was just your garden variety traumatic experience.
           After the quake and Tommy I should be used to them by now
Oliver: I've had a few of those. You never get used to them.
Felicity: um excuse me Oliver may I talk to you for a second. It's urgent
Oliver: yeah
Felicity: you can have him back in a minute
Oliver: excuse me
Felicity: I just realized something. What if our masked friend, the one that keeps showing up everywhere, you know her.
Oliver: yeah, what about her
Felicity: what id we have been going about this all wrong. We though she was obsessed with you. I mean she showed up and the DA's office when you were there. And in the chemical plant were the doll maker was hiding out. But who else was at both those places. What if our masked friend isn't following you.
Oliver: She's following Loral.

The Times I spent on the Ranch

I once spent a lot of time on my grandpas ranch
It was a great place to be

Sonnet

He did not mean to make her cry
She did not mean to to upset him
She felt like they were hanging on a limb
The only thing she could say was why
It was a mistake she didn't mean to tell
All she wanted was to take it all back
She looked up to him and said Oh Mack
He looked at her but his face just fell

He held her close and kissed her cheek
She leaned into him and said What now
He said everything will be okay
All she wanted was to forget the day
All he did was furrow his brow
He held her tight til she was weak

Sestina

It was a beautiful day in Autumn
The sky was blue
The ground was covered in fresh fallen leaves
It was going to be the perfect ending
To the perfect day
And they would be together forever.

There was something blue
And a ring that would be borrowed forever
Everyone would stick around until the ending
She walked down the aisle full with leaves
She thought of when they first met three years ago in Autumn
There was no better way to end the day.

 He was working in her front yard racking leaves
To her the work seemed like it would soon be ending
She was wearing a dress of blue
It seemed like it would be a long day
She had been wanting to talk to him forever
And so she did just that on that cold day in Autumn.

She was finally able to get the courage to say hi that day
She talked about the weather they were having this Autumn
She had had not met someone like in forever
He liked how she wore his favorite color of blue
He knew from the start their story was going to have a happy ending
But he did not like the sound of her walking to the house on the leaves.

He had known all along they would have a happy ending
It had turned out to be his perfect day
He would never forget that fateful Autumn
Now he was going to marry his best friend forever
He liked how the air smelled of the leaves
It reminded him of that first day they met under the sky of blue.

Now that they were married forever
The wind picked up and blew the leaves
Beautiful pictures were taken that day
And it was all thanks to the season of Autumn
And the dress of his favorite color blue
It truly was the perfect day with the perfect ending.

It had all started on a day with a sky of blue
The leaves fell off the tress in Autumn
And their ending was one that would last forever

Ode about Mountain Dew

I see you here
I see you there
I see you everywhere

In a kids hand
In the vending machine
In my fridge

You sweet beverage you
Oh how I love you
Mountain Dew

I sometimes see you on TV
and wish I could have you
In my hand so I can drink

I have loved you for a long time
 and I promise from this day on
That will never change.

They try to imitate you
with Mello Yellow but
It is not the same as you

I see you everywhere
Mountain Dew, and the best part
I have you right now in my hand
