In a town called Millrace, there were two Japanese teenagers named Keiko and Hideki. They’ve known each other their whole lives. They’ve been faithful, loyal and kept each others secrets. But they’ve never planned of falling in love.
When midnight came, Keiko left her Grandmother’s house to meet with Hideki in the mountains.
“Come on, Hideki! You’re slower than a turtle!” Keiko halfway joked while climbing the mountain with him. “Am not,” Hideki scoffed. “I can see the view already, we’re almost there!” Keiko added excitedly. When they reached the 最佳, 返回页首 of the mountain, Keiko smiled. Behind her Hideki almost tripped 由 the root of the 草 and breathed, “Wow.”
On his left, he saw Keiko patting the 草 beside her. He sat with her. “Wew, that was tiring,” Keiko panted. “It was, though. I almost tripped myself 由 the 草 root.” Hideki pointed. He wrapped his legs with his arms. Keiko gave a small laugh and lay on the grass. Hideki did the same. Above them, the dark sky was showered with bright stars. The brightest one twinkled on the far left. The cold wind waved at both of them. It was getting chilly, but none of them made it a big deal. “What’s your dream?” Hideki asked Keiko who was counting the stars with her fore finger. “What? Oh,” she stopped. “I wanted to be on TV, I wanted to broadcast the latest news.”
“Keiko, that’s fascinating! I wish 你 good luck on that, hope you’ll be able to reach it.” Hideki sat up, smiling. “Thank 你 Hideki. What about you?”
The smile on Hideki’s face faded away. He started to ignore the question.
Something was bothering him.
“Hideki, is everything all right?” Keiko asked.
“Yes, I’m alright.” Hideki automatically answered.
Keiko nodded. She let go of that thought and continued counting the stars above.
The following afternoon, Millrace was very busy. Cries were shot in the air. “Okasan, what’s going on?” Keiko’s 心 raced. “No time to ask, Keiko. Please do pack all of your clothes, now.” Keiko’s mother led her daughter quickly to the room. “Okasan, please tell me what’s going on!” Keiko demanded.
Keiko’s mother was sweating bullets; she wiped her forehead with her apron. “Keiko, 日本 declared a war with Russia. 你 and your brother must leave tomorrow morning.” Keiko’s mother’s voice was breaking. She didn’t want to accept the fact that her children will leave her just because of the upcoming war.
“Okasan… why aren’t 你 going, don’t 你 want us?” Keiko’s eyes were filled with tears. Keiko’s mother kissed her daughter’s forehead and hugged her tightly.
Behind them, Keiko’s little brother, Hiroto stood behind the front door and dropped his bag. Quickly as Keiko can, she ran out of the door, surpassed her brother. She needed to go to Hideki’s house.
When she reached his house, she knocked loudly on the wooden door. “Ohayougozamisu, is Hideki there?” Keiko panted. “Yes dear, he’s upstairs.” Hideki’s grandmother pointed to the ceiling.
Keiko rushed upstairs. In Hideki’s room, Keiko found him sitting on his bed, his eyes glued on the picture frame in his hand. “Hideki!” Keiko cried.
“Keiko!” Hideki was on his feet.
They hugged tightly. “Is it true, that 日本 declared a war against Russia?” Keiko pulled back. “Yes it is. Obasaan told me. I’m scared, Keiko.” Hideki’s eyes were in tears, he wiped them with the back of his hand. “So, we’re not gonna see each other anymore?”
“I can’t accept that Hideki, I don’t know. I’m scared either.”
Hideki sat down slowly, his hand on his chest. He made a sound that made Keiko jump. “Hideki! What’s wrong?” Keiko shouted. Hideki continued to shout for pain. Keiko called for Hideki’s obasaan, but she didn’t come. “Hideki, please be alright, tell me what’s wrong.” Keiko cried. “My h-heart,” Hideki’s voice was cold. “What? Hideki…” Keiko tugged his shirt.
“I’m sorry, Keiko.” Hideki sat up straight, his hand still on his chest. “I wasn’t supposed to tell 你 that… that I’m struggling, struggling with Cardiac arrhythmia for a 年 now. Please forgive me.” Hideki finished.
Keiko stood up. She placed her hand in her mouth. “Hideki, why didn’t 你 tell me?”
“Because,” Hideki panted. “Because, I was too scared that if 你 found out, you’re not gonna see me as your friend anymore.”
Keiko whimpered. “Hideki, that’s not true.” She sat beside Hideki and placed her arm around him.
Hideki shivered. “Keiko, can I ask 你 a favor?” Keiko nodded in response. “Before the train leaves tomorrow, can 你 meet me at the 最佳, 返回页首 of the mountain? I wanted to tell 你 something important.” Hideki said. “And please, don’t be late. I’ll meet 你 there at 6:30.” Hideki looked at her eyes. Keiko nodded again, “Okay.”
The 下一个 morning, the children of all families were on board already. Waving’s, hellos, tears, I 爱情 you’s and goodbyes filled the air. No one knows if they’ll see their Papas and Mamas again.
Keiko did what Hideki had said. She climbed up the mountain to see him and to listen on what Hideki has to say to her. She thought that, it might be their last goodbye. The last time they’ll see each other. As Keiko reached the mountain top, a paper from nowhere covered her face. In the paper, a message was written, a message that made Keiko’s 心 drop.
‘I’m sorry I didn’t tell 你 this in person. It was my time already. I 爱情 你 Keiko, I 爱情 你 with all my heart. Stay safe. Love, Hideki.’
When midnight came, Keiko left her Grandmother’s house to meet with Hideki in the mountains.

Alone!
There once was a girl who biked and ran
with her best friend who had a bright 橙子, 橙色 tan
But then one 日 she when biking alone
and thats when she fell along way from home.
She lay still on the ground
not makeing a sound,and thats when she found
that she could not talk
let alone walk
As she slowly made her way home
she wished that she had a phone
so she could call for help
insted of put up with the pain that made her yelp.
She pushed her bike down the dusty track
with a sore haed and an acking back
Then she came to the place where her and her best friend met
just as the sun was begining to set
The 下一个 日 at school she was no where in sight
which gave her best frined a very big fright
but she was a 首页 tucked up in bed
with a sore leg and an acking head
Thats when she remebered what her best friend had 说
about not going out bikeing alone
along way from home.
What do 你 think?(I think it is very bad) and sorry of the spelling.

You
It's the middle of the night,
And I can't sleep
Your face, planted with a smile
Are the only things I see
Your voice calling my name
Is the only thing I hear
I can feel your hand rubbing my back
Hearing 你 whisper ''good night''
I jump and look around,
And soon realize 你 are not there
I sob, tightly holding the gift 你 once gave me
It's right here, on my bed, in perfect condition.
30 分钟 later, I wipe my face and go back to sleep…
I wake up once again
And the cycle starts all over again…
It's the middle of the night,
And I can't sleep

I jump and look around,
And soon realize 你 are not there
I sob, tightly holding the gift 你 once gave me

I wake up once again

your mistakes don't define you, now. they don't tell 你 who you're not, 或者 who 你 can never be. what's it take to get 你 to say you'll try? you've got to live this life like it's the only one you've got. what would 你 say, what would 你 do, if this was your last day? so, 你 found out today that life's not the same. not quite as good as yesterday.
and, yes, i know it hurts & i know your pain, but u never gave up this easily befor. such a beautiful thing to just throw away. i think 你 need to know that, of all the 颜色 that 你 shine, this is surely not your best, it's really not your style. 你 should think about what 你 do, befor 你 do it, over and over again. i know 你 feel alone, that know one can figure 你 out, but 你 sould know that we just 爱情 to see 你 smile.i know 你 feel like you're lost, feel like you've drifted way to far away, but we can help 你 come back.

I wrote this yesterday when me and my boyfriend had a big fight and it's a fight that may go on for a long time. I know I am young to write something like this but, I guess it helps. Plus If 你 don't like it just tell me, ok?
The Power of Words
你 and I had this big long fight,
It felt like the storm during the night.
It was verry sad and cold,
My 老友记 had to like 你 a lot
and 你 felt like I forgot,
forgot about you.
But I had a prodject due.
你 think you're mr. I'm so cool
but 你 used to act like a ghool.
Not to the people 你 love,
to the sensetive people like a dove.
How we spoke with eachother,
made 你 feel much better.
But the fight we had,
你 说 was nothing but it was bad.
See ya pal we're ova,
take the cell 你 gave me and do me a fava.
Just don't ever,
Never...
Talk to me again!

The Man With No Eyes Collection (1): The Actor
Sundown, sunrise.
Big smile!
(Tired eyes.)
I vanish into thin air.
An actor never fails.
(Lies.)
To give the world a rousing show
(While begging to be recognized.)
To shine as brightly as the sun
Upon the 王座, 宝座 that we’ve devised.
A patchwork-quilt protagonist
A villain from the shadow realm
The work of the illusionist
When I, the actor, take the helm.
“Hey, wouldn’t it be cool to see…”
The whisper marks my story’s birth.
The audience will gather ‘round.
(The jury to decide my worth.)
"The Man With No Eyes" is a series of poems, all of which are unfolding from one character's point of view. They are meant to represent an ongoing journey. So if 你 liked this one, stay tuned for more. :)
