 Never There

Sometimes I wonder if you can see her pain

The way she is around you

With her head faced down in shame

Its like you don't seem to notice

When her eyes are full of tears

You would think after all of these years

You'd be there for her

But you weren't

And you probably never will be

You just walk away

Like you don't care about a thing

And you don't notice at all

This little girl is about to fall

Into pieces without you around

she really needs your help

But you will never be there for her

Ooh, whoa

It's a sad fact in life

But hopefully she'll turn out alright

'Cause you were never by her side

No second or day comes to mind

When you were there for her

I lay awake every night

Wishing you would be there for her

But I don't think

You will ever be there for her

Oh, whoa

Never going to be that for her

I wish you could understand

The way she feels inside

'Cause You're the one

Who's supposed to be her guide

Leading her through this rough time

But instead

You let her cry herself to sleep at night

But you will never be that for her...

You just walk away

Like you don't care about a thing

And you don't notice at all

This little girl is about to fall

Into pieces without you around

she really needs your help

But you will never be there for her

It's a sad fact in life

But hopefully she'll turn out alright

'Cause you were never by her side

No second or day comes to mind

When you were there for her

I lay awake every night

Wishing you would be there for her

But I know

You will never be that for her

All she wants to know

Is that she'll never be alone

That someone will protect her

Get her through it all

Just tell her she'll be alright

And shell make it through the night

But you will never be there for her...

You just walk away

Like you don't care about a thing

And you don't notice at all

This little girl is about to fall

Into pieces without you around

And she really needs your help

But you will never be there for her

It's a sad fact in life

But hopefully she'll turn out alright

'Cause you were never by her side

No second or day comes to mind

When you were there for her

I lay awake every night

Wishing you would be there for her

You are never ever going to be there for her 

 Over

I used to believe

That growing up

Would feel so differently.

Friends would always be friends.

Fairy tales would come true

And I would always have you...

I didn't imagine

That you and me...

Would ever be apart....

You were the rhythm to my heart

Now I don't know where to start..

There's no other thing I'd rather do

Than be with you.

Yeah, I really miss you...

I feel so lost without you...

Sometimes I wish

I was still with you.

And I wonder sometimes,

What I did that made you change your mind..

I didn't imagine

That you and me...

Would ever be apart....

You were the rhythm to my heart

Now I don't know where to start..

There's no other thing I'd rather do

Than be with you.

Yeah, I really miss you...

I'm so lost without you...

Now that we're over.

Now that you're gone

Maybe I can move on..

Put you in my past

But that's so hard to do..

'Cause...

Its hard to imagine

That you and me...

Are apart....

You were the rhythm to my heart

Now I don't know where to start..

There's no other thing I'd rather do

Than be with you.

Yeah, I really miss you...

I'm so lost without you...

 I'm only seventeen years old, I have a twin brother and I work as a nanny for these four little kids. My dad died when me and my brother were seven. My mom disappeared after that and left us alone. We took care of each other.

It's a Tough World

      Everywhere I turn I'm caught between different situations that are impossible to get out of. To be honest I thought my life would be a whole lot simpler than this. But right now, I'm just trying to get by.

        

   How my dad died? We don't really know. It's always been a mystery, but I am determined to find out one day. My brother and I live in a world full of chaos and violence, where no matter what you do, someone, someplace will hate you for it. And unfortunately people look down on someone like me and my brother like we are some rebellious teenagers. And there's only one place to go where we can feel as if we're not what other people make of us, a place we can be free. And that place we call home. There we can go and get away from all the insanity and strange things that I cannot even fathom that go on in this world.

   Sometimes it's hard to think that we've made it this far, just the two of us. The reasons we've made it through all of this horror and such is because we stayed strong and stayed close together and sure we had some fights every now and then, but what siblings don't? Besides, we're twins, that is our other way of staying alive. Twins have this secret power that regular siblings don't. It's awesome.

       I think the reason people think we're rebels is cause we usually do things...very secretly. We're smart, yet mysterious. We don't like following the rules because the rules in this life time make no sense and we find them pointless; so we break them. Also, we do things normal people wouldn't do. We go on lots of adventures. And a new one starts at this very moment.

       My brother and me are on our way to the house where the kid's we babysit live in. We get there and it's almost like a ghostly feeling. The lights are out in the rooms, and the door is half open. We both find it very odd. "Let's check it out" I said.

    "Alright, but you first." My brother replied.

     The silence was deadly, and disturbing. I could hear the shiny floor squeak every time our feet would take another step. We walked up the stairs to the kids bedrooms. Lily, the youngest was hiding under her covers under her bed, holding onto her dog. She looked frightened and frozen as ice. My brother went and tried talking to her while I searched for the others.

     I found Donnie lying on his couch listening to music. I looked at his face, it was wet from tears.

   "Donnie, what happened?" I asked him softly.

   "Something terrible happened." He muttered.

   "Like what?" I said while I looked in those sad eyes of his.

   "Some one took my mommy." He replied.

   "We'll find her" I hugged him tightly in my arms for a second.

  My brother came to me holding Lily. "Grab the keys and lets go." He whispered to me.

     We ran and found the other 2 kids shivering under their blankets. We picked them up and told them what was happening. They didn't seem to mind. If at all, they probably felt safer. We quickly jogged to the van and strapped the kids in.

      We didn't really know where to begin. We started driving around places a random person would take a mother of four children. No use. Then we drove until we heard a strange noise, then a scream. "We'll, I think we found her." I said.

      We parked the car a little far away from where we heard it. My brother stayed in the van with the children, while I walked through the corn maze as quiet as an Indian. I found her. She was tied to a pole in the exact middle of the maze. I realized this must be a trap of some sort. I started to think, but then all of sudden a felt a slight pinch in my back which caused all my thoughts in my mind to fade away and I couldn't hear myself think. I looked around, my head started spinning. I felt dizzy. The next second, everything turned black. And I was no longer conscience.

     When I woke up, I was alone in the corn maze where I had passed out. No one in sight. I tried to sit up but something was weighing me down. I couldn't see anything, it was too dark. I adjusted my eyes to the darkness and in a split second I spotted something glowing in the corn. My heart started to skip a beat. Then it started beating faster and faster until I could feel sweat dripping off my face to my body. I attempted over and over again to break loose of whatever was trying to hold me down. But I just couldn't. It was too tight. I thought I saw someone coming towards me. "Help..me." I whispered. It was hard to talk when I could barely breathe.

       The shadow kept coming closer. Soon it was so close I could feel it breathing on me. "Who are you?" I gasped. "No one of your concern." The shadow spoke to me in a deep voice. All of a sudden I felt cold, I had chills running up and down my spine. I didn't understand what was happening and I had no way of escaping anytime soon. I was finally starting to catch my breath, when I smelt smoke. I looked round and the maze was on fire. I knew this was end for me. In the next minute I felt flames burning my flesh, my hair melting, and my skin disintegrating....the next split second I was dead.
