Like steps descending from the heavens
The rain poured down on her
Disguising the tears that streamed past her smile
The smile she always wore

And she started to climb those steps

But behind her eyes she wrote tragedies no one ever read
She sang a dirge no one ever heard
And whispered of butterflies just beneath her wrists
She held the blade close and kissed it

Fly and be free she said as they spread their crimson wings
But somehow I know that she’s
Still climbing

So often we don't struggle to improve conditions
We struggle for the right to say we improved conditions
Somewhere a man stands, walks across the room, and breaks his nose against the door
Somewhere these people are keeping records
And writing a book
Thank you very mucho

Great, as always. If you enter that and don't get some sort of recognition for it, then i will lose all faith in humanity. Crap, too late. I will lose all faith in......committees. Bah, same problem. No, not committees - commies! No more faith in commies. Wait.....crap! Ok, i will lose faith in.....root beer. Tasty tasty root beer. No, i could never lose faith in such a delectable beverage. I will be angry. Lets just leave it at that.

Good additions/changes by the way. It does flow better now. Except 'dirge'. I just think that word is funny. Makes me laugh everytime. So for me, it doesn't quite fit, but for everyone i'm sure its great. Don't change it just cause of me.

Good job man.

And as we turn the pages we call out the sounds of nothing.
The sounds of a vanishing alphabet...
Woah. I can feel the Used inspiration, though if you hadn't of mentioned it, I don't know if I would have even seen it. I really, really like it. It speaks to me, on so many different levels. Makes me feel sorry for her, makes me remember everything I put myself through, and also makes me feel hope. Hope for myself, and hope for humankind as a whole. All in all, I seriously love this!

I held a fallen star and it wept for me, dying
I feel the fallen stars encircle me now as they cry
Feeling surrounded so bored with mortality I decay

Hey, anytime. You've given me some amazing comments, so it's about time I give some back! And man, I love you're writing, so don't thank me for the fav. I should thank you for writing it!
