** __Lost__ ** Thunder crashes in the air and lightning streaks the sky. I watch as the rain pours down and all I can do is cry. Black smoke chokes the air as people scream and shout. The sound of sirens everywhere as the fire starts to go out. Someone yells to "Stand back!" as the building starts to groan. It sways and falls to the ground and someone screams in a deafening tone. People rush to the ashes and they run all about. They try to find the missing body <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">but the air is filled with doubt. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">They shake their heads and look away <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">as tears fall all around. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">I scream at them "I'm here! I'm here!" <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">but they don't hear a sound. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">They pack up and start to leave <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">as the storm continues on. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">Lightning flashes again and again <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">and everyone is gone. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">I'm the only one left now <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">and I just sit on the ground. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">I went to bed that night lost, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">and I was never found.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 160%; line-height: 23px;"> -- __Ghost Town__
<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">Silence fills the air <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">as snow falls to the ground. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">The life has gone from the trees <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">no humans are around. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">The songs of birds are gone <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">the color of flowers no more. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;"> As the cold wind whips through the land <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">freezing everything to the core. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">Everything is lifeless <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">in this old forgotten town. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">The only thing that still remains <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">is the snow on the ground.

font-size: 150%;">__Graduation__ ** <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;"> The years have flown by fast <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">a new one soon to come. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">The memories made <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">the fun we've had,  <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">will soon come to an end. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">We entered through the doors <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">all helpless and afraid. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">And now we will be going out <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">feeling just the same. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">We've all had our struggles, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">our fights and reprimands. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">But somehow no matter what <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">we stuck together in the end. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">We continue making friends, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">never really forgetting the old. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">Going into warm relationships, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">then sometimes coming out confused and cold. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">The activities that we entered: <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">Orchestra, band and choir. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">Academic team, drama, Tsa, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">chess club, sports, speech and more. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">All these things left a mark on our souls. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">I bet you remember the dances. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">Most of us agree they were a blast. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">The week of Homecoming excited all <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">The end of the game coming way to fast. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">The winter dances were cold but fun <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">but they never could compare to Prom. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">The preparations that we went through <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">to beat the Seniors Prom before ours. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">The excitement of the late night dance <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">the fun of the After Prom. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">None of us will ever forget <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">not one of us wanting to go home. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">But unfortunately all things come to an end. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">The days, the months, the years. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">We never took for granted <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">the short time that we had. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">Because before we know it <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">we're sitting in rows with caps and gowns. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">Hoping beyond hope that you won't end up being <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">the one person that trips and falls down. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">The walk across the stage <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">with tears of sadness and joy. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">None of us really knowing where we will employ. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">The times for childish things are over <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">it's time for us to be adults. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">Believe me, I know it sounds scary. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">Heck, my stomachs doing somersaults. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">But it's time to go our separate ways <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">time for us to learn even more. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">The thought of going out on your own, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">may scare you like never before. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">But it's ok, we will all do great, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">the time has come for celebrations. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">I mean hey, maybe we can all meet up <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">after our college graduations. <span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;"> - <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 19px; line-height: 19px;">5/6/11  <span style="color: #ffffff; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 19px;">- <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 19px;">5/24/11  **<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 150%;">__Boyfriend__ ** <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">My love, my life,  <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;"> my one and true. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">For what reasons <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;"> do I deserve you? <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">My heart is weak, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;"> while yours is strong. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">The love you show me never changing <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">even when I do wrong. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">People say I'm desperate. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">That I could never truly love. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">But in my eyes you're like an angel <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">sent to me from above. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">Your strong arms hold me tight. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">Protecting me when I'm alarmed. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">Your eyes constantly remind me, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">nothing can do me any harm. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">The words you whisper to me, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">time after time,  <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">wrap around my heart  <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium;">like a sweet poetic rhyme. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">Your touch so soft, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">your kisses so sweet. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">With every breath you take <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">I feel like I'm being swept off my feet. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">A lot of times I feel like <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">this is all a dream. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">And once I wake up <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">all I'd do is cry and scream. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">But then I hear <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">that melodic voice. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">Bringing me back <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">to reality without a choice. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">Who am I to deserve <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">this amazing love from the start. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">When deep in my soul <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">I'd die if I ever broke your heart. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">But then I feel those arms <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">wrap around me so sweet and true,  <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">as you lean down and whisper  <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">the silken ribbon of words of  <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">"I Love You." <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;"><span style="color: #ffffff;
