'Evil Willow looked around the room and sighed. "This world's no fun." She grumbled. Good willow looked over at her bitterly. "You noticed that too?"'

How much longer must I stay
in this room I wait all day.
You hold me close and let me die
in a world I don't abide.

I used to think this was new
a frightning thing i wish I knew.
Instead it was just your dream
as you tried to block out my scream.

Sitting all alone in this room
I do my best not to think of you.
Soon you will come here
and awaken all of my fear.

I don't want to die here alone
with no one to hear a single moan.
This world you've created
and my feelings so jaded...

All I want is for you to let me go.

The author's comments:
This is a poem about two characters of mine. The 'voice' is a girl named Lilith who in the beginning just wants to die since it's painful for her to live. Abyss is a man who wants to help her but in the end this is hurting the girl. It's hard to imagine how to deal with someone that whenever you go near her she feels everything you've felt and knows your whole life story. It kills her.
