Favorite Quote:
&quot;The Dark is generous, and it is patient, and it always wins, but in the heart of its strength lies weakness: One lone candle is enough to hold it back.<br /> Love is more than a candle.<br /> Love can ignite the stars.&quot; -Matthew Stover

When the windows creak at night,
darkness lingers,
fall of rain.
Sometimes I get scared--
well knowing
it's my imagination.
But cannot help it;
no matter how hard I try,
fear dawns on me.
There is nothing to do,
can ever do,
except to be afraid.
No reason stops my thoughts
--fear isn't logical.
There's no way to stop
there's always that cold fear locked up inside your very soul. You can't escape it and can only feel its weight.

The author's comments:
Scared without a reason to be because you know it isn't real and know it's all in your head and know it's all just a part of your imagination... And yet, somehow, you're still scared.
