Torches

I am standing by the tracks. I am stunned. There is the sound of screaming in the background but I am sure no one is on the platform with me. Perhaps it is someone’s idea of a practical joke; playing a tape; a soundtrack to the images that are unfolding in front of me. But I am not sure if it is a tape. It sounds real but can’t be real. I don’t want it to be real. You are on the tracks in front of me, shaking violently. My body reacts to what I’m seeing, reacts too late? I don’t know. But I do know I need to kill the power. I turn to the boy behind me and I run into his arms. He pushes me away, but I understand why. I’ve hurt him and I can’t undo that. I run to find torches and the power switch. But I’m too short. I have never been too short, but I am today. I find a box, stand on it and tug at the lever but I’m too weak I’m never too weak but I am today. I feel helpless. I cannot help you. I cannot save you. I want you. I want to save you. I want you to want me. I want to save you. But I can’t. I want to write a story about this.

Thanks.
Means a lot.

[sirmavers]

My pleasure, about time old scruff had a worthy replacement, someone who can keep us entertained day in day out. Great when someone actually reads your stuff isn't it, taking in interest and that

[Exo-Happiness]

indeed. But i'm always scared someone will steal my stuff. It's so selfish, I know. But I'm a paranoid person. I'm almost reluctant to post at times. Haha.
That's not me insulting you lot btw. Hence why i do actually post.

[sirmavers]

Steal my stuff all you like, make a million out of it, because I always know it's mine, it's from my heart and no one elses, and only I will take the words to my grave.

[Exo-Happiness]

I'm a possessive person. I'd hate for someone to take my words as their own.

[sirmavers]

Well thats contrast to me, I'm the biggest pessimist going, but do't think that it has an effect on whether I care about plagarism or not, never bother me, like I said, I know that it's mine, and I've never any intention of making money from poems, just need them to keep me breathing, which is much more important.

[Exo-Happiness]

Hmmm. I guess I never intend to make any money from my writing. My main inspiration and idol is a guy called Stanley Donwood. He's an artist, but he writes too. And his passages are incredible. But he makes no money from his writing. He posts it all for free on his site, and you can get it in a book too. I just like my words to be mine as they are a reflection of my life experiences, thoughts and dreams.
