        <p>Great.</p><p>I flunked land-law. That means I&#39;m <u>definitely</u> failing history. Consti was always a sure thing.<br />Gah!!!</p><p><em>Three repeats once again!</em></p><p>*sigh*</p><p>These hols have not been nearly as long as they should have been. I don&#39;t wanna go back. Its not that I <span style="color: #cc0000">hate</span> Law school. I just don&#39;t want to spend more time there. Then again, I don&#39;t have any other place to go. No wait. That has to be rephrased. I don&#39;t have any other place I <em>want </em>to go. Not anyplace define-able anyhow.</p><p>Dad left for some place today morning. He&#39;ll be back only after I&#39;ve left, so I said goodbye. He said I had been &quot;<span style="color: #ffffff">good</span>&quot; these hols. Whatever that means. But yeah, I do kinda get it. I <u>have</u> been &#39;<span style="color: #ffffff">good</span>&#39; these hols. </p><p><span style="color: #f4f4f4">Spent lot of time at home. Gave the dog a bath. Filled water. Spent an entire day at the mall with my parents. There were really very few loud arguments. Ran errands (without much complaining). Didn&#39;t go out to meet &#39;friends&#39; too often.&#160; Played cards almost every night with the family. Pretended to study.... You get the picture...<br /></span><br />But what bugs me is, for some strange reason, I did all of it with a vague sense of finality. Like I was sure I wouldn&#39;t have this chance again. I dunno why... It doesn&#39;t exactly scare me or upset me. Just feels like its a fact half of me always knew and the other half quietly accepted. It&#39;s like I was just building memories. You know, &#39;<span style="color: #ffffff">perfect</span>&#39; <em>happy</em> moments mom n dad can always look back on. Hell, I think I&#39;m also doing it for me. And I guess that means that a decision has been made again... <br /><span style="color: #cc0000"><em>and once more, I am the last to know</em>...</span><br /></p>   <p style="clear:both;">

The thesis for this springs from incidences .. daily and routinely</p><p>I always stress on alma mater pertaining .. i care for you / want to see you happy / want a bright future .. yada yada <br />it&#39;s absolutely bullshit .<br />yea can&#39;t help being me.</p><p>I can safely go to the extent of declaring &quot;things i do/imagine/feel/think never categorize as sane&quot; <br />and that there has never existed a person who i can proclaim the mantle for causing a ripple in the tiniest at all in my umm .. should i call it life ?</p><p>I play with time .. &quot;waste&quot; it as others righteously&#160; label me when i &quot;utilize&quot; it for things i admire .</p><p>I have fits of normality .. don&#39;t last too long&#160; to which i am eternally grateful.</p><p>I have the freakish ability to leech every piece of information i want about a subject that interests me .. <br />please don&#39;t picture the subject as books , girls and the lot .. </p><p>In reality .. i have never shown the slightest indication of rage .. <br />Read the sentence properly and then frame questions regarding its legibility .</p><p><br />I&#39;ve bleed more times than you can count .. and i don&#39;t hate it .. nothing like the smell of red crimson on a dark night.<br />I&#39;ve hardly picked fights cause i thought fighting is primitive .. Murders on the other hand can change the scenery .. and im all hand on for murder <br />provided i find a right candidate .. most unlikely&#160; .. refer to point indicating to rage in normal life just above ..</p><p>The problem doesn&#39;t stem as i can&#39;t get angry .. any person can .. </p><p>Im addicted to rage .. if you suppress it .. keep it stored forever .. you can enrage your mind and your heart .. with a straight face .. anytime .. anywhere </p><p>The adrenaline flows through your veins .. you start to picture scenarios you normally couldn&#39;t ever dream of . <br />For me .. i can safely term it life .</p><p>Finally i don&#39;t lie .. If you look properly in a framed line .. it can contain a cypher .. sometimes not . <br />its the way you look to find the meaning out of a sentence .. </p><p>All i can say is .. </p><p>I can&#39;t help being myself <br />me .. </p><p>Pyratic by nite ..</p><p>Jason by dawn ..<br /> </p>   <p style="clear:both;">

<p>&#160;</p>
<p>Shaking her head, she straightened up.</p>
<p>&quot;This won&#39;t do!&quot; she declared, to no one in particular.</p>
<p>&quot;I must pick a direction!&quot;</p>
<p>So, she closed her eyes and spun in a little circle with her right hand outstretched.</p>
<p>She opened her eyes to see she was lookng at a dark forest.</p>
<p>&quot;A dream!&quot; she beamed.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>A Bunny Rabbit hopped in the distance.</p>
<p><em>Maybe I&#39;m dreaming of Alice in Wonderland</em>.</p>
<p>All that spinning had made her dizzy so she lay down for a while...</p>
<p>But when she woke up, she heard voices.</p>
<p>Sitting up, she saw people were all around her; playing with the animals, swimming in the sea, sunbathing.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>She shook her head sadly and got up to leave.</p>
<p>&quot;Won&#39;t you stay?&quot; asked the little blue eyed boy</p>
<p>She smiled at him and closed her eyes, spinning again.</p>

        <p>She looked up at the <span style="color: #ffffcc">streetlight</span>.</p>
<p>It seemed to shine into her <span style="color: #990000">soul</span>.</p>
<p>Giggling softly, she tried pushing the beam away, but it didn&#39;t move.</p>
<p>She glared at it for a while and then slowly stepped out of its range.</p>
<p><span style="color: #8f42ad">Twirling</span>, she laughed, and a <span style="color: #ffffff">lone</span> star twinkled in the distant night sky.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>She took a few steps forward, still smiling, and then froze, trying to remember why she was here.</p>
<p>She stood still for a long time.</p>
<p>At the center of the crossing.</p>
<p>The traffic lights fascinated her, especially when they changed colors.</p>
<p>Colors.</p>
<p>She liked colors.</p>
<p>Didn&#39;t she?...</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>She blinked, and then started walking again.</p>
<p>It wasn&#39;t exactly a straight line, but it wasn&#39;t a drunken walk either.</p>
<p>She remembered she was supposed to look out for policemen, but she didn&#39;t remember why.</p>
<p>Was she supposed to go to them?</p>
<p>Hide from them? </p>
<p>Ask them something? </p>
<p>Run as fast as she could?</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>Confused, she lit a cigarette.</p>
<p><em>&quot;<span style="color: #f4f4f4">Smoking. Always smoking.</span>&quot; </em>she scolded herself like she was supposed to.</p>
<p>No.</p>
<p>Wait.</p>
<p>Wasn&#39;t that someone else?</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>Another drag, and a silly smile lit her face.</p>
<p>And she <span style="color: #c050c9">twirled</span> again, dark hair clashing with falling <span style="color: #990000">rain</span>.</p>
<p>Her laughter echoed softly in <span style="color: #990000">empty</span> alleys</p>
<p>and she went around in little circles till she couldn&#39;t <span style="color: #990000">breathe</span> anymore.</p>
<p>Tired knees hit the wet <span style="color: #339933">grass</span> as she collapsed...</p>
<p>and a sob escaped her throat.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>&quot;<span style="color: #8f42ad">Why do you cry, fair child</span>?&quot; he asked</p>
<p>As he knelt beside the girl</p>
<p>&quot;<em>I only want my <span style="color: #990000">memory</span></em></p>
<p><em>Its lost somewhere in this world</em>&quot;</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>They searched far and wide, but the <span style="color: #990000">memory</span> was truly&#160;<span style="color: #990000">lost</span>.</p>
<p>And then one day, it was already time for&#160;<span style="color: #80cde6">frost</span></p>
<p>So she shooed him and his sparrows to <span style="color: #ffff00">summer</span></p>
<p>and he cursed at the maiden as she bid him <span style="color: #666666">farewell</span>...</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>But she <span style="color: #990000">hates</span> him not</p>
<p>neither does she <span style="color: #990000">love</span></p>
<p>She only&#160;needs her memories to build</p>
<p>her stairway to the heavens above...</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>Till she finds those run-away memories, she needs to make new ones</p>
<p>So...</p>
<p>She laughs at the streetlights</p>
<p>coz they remind her of the sun</p>
<p>and how it will eventually <span style="color: #990000">destroy</span> her.</p>
<p>And <u><em>that</em></u> could be called a <span style="color: #990000">memory</span>, <em>couldn&#39;t it</em>?</p>   <p style="clear:both;">

        <p><span style="color: #ffffff"><em>Leave me alone...</em></span></p>
<p>Were those not your last words to me dear Sayuri?</p>
<p>They must have been.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>I still remember that night you know...</p>
<p>It was really <span style="color: #ffffff">cold</span>, and I could tell you had been <span style="color: #cc0000">crying</span>.</p>
<p>I could have asked.</p>
<p>I should have said <em>something</em>.</p>
<p>Asked how you were doing, whether you needed anything, if everything was okay, <em>anything</em>!</p>
<p>Instead, I tilted my new hat at you and nodded.</p>
<p>And you smiled back.</p>
<p>Just a tiny little smile, but&#160;it&#160;made me really happy, you know?</p>
<p>That you cared enough to try and smile even though you were <span style="color: #990000">sad</span>...</p>
<p>But I know you would have done the same for anyone who <span style="color: #ffffff">smiled</span> at you...</p>
<p>Still, as you walked away in that light <span style="color: #cc0000">rain</span></p>
<p>with the dark shadows growing behind you as you walked further into the night in your black <span style="color: #990000">dress</span>...</p>
<p>I thought that there was still some chance we could fix the <span style="color: #990000">mess</span> we had made.</p>
<p>Thought things were finally getting better...</p>
<p>I didn&#39;t say a word.</p>
<p>And the next morning they told me you were <span style="color: #990000">dead</span>.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p><em><span style="color: #f4f4f4">Wait a minute&#160;Sayuri darling.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #f4f4f4">Let me pour myself&#160;a drink. Its been too long.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #f4f4f4">And where did I keep that damned matchbox?!</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #f4f4f4">Sorry, where was I?</span></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #f4f4f4"></span>&#160;</p>
<p>I remember the day we spent at the <span style="color: #3075fb">beach</span></p>
<p>It seems like such a long long time ago</p>
<p>Akane was there too, along with <em>him</em>.</p>
<p>That was nice.</p>
<p>We laughed a lot, All of us.</p>
<p>Sang silly songs all the way there and back.</p>
<p>And you spoke to me as if everything was fine.</p>
<p>As if nothing had been <span style="color: #990000">broken</span>.</p>
<p>Like you could not see the <span style="color: #990000">past</span> anymore.</p>
<p>And I don&#39;t know if that <span style="color: #990000">hurt</span> or helped.</p>
<p>But I do know that I liked the way your dark hair flew about your pale&#160;face</p>
<p>and I liked the <span style="color: #990000">black dress</span> you wore...</p>
<p><em>like the one you were wearing the last time I saw you..</em>.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p><em><span style="color: #f4f4f4">Another drink Sayuri.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #f4f4f4">Just hold on.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #f4f4f4">No, I&#39;m not drinking too much.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #f4f4f4">Just another shot...</span></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000">You know what?</span></p>
<p>I wish I knew you before...</p>
<p>Before all the pills, and the drinking...</p>
<p>I know you&#39;d be <span style="color: #990000">mad</span> at me for saying this</p>
<p>I know you would say it would have been the same...</p>
<p>But would it have?</p>
<p>Maybe then you would have said you loved me</p>
<p>Maybe then I would have said the same...</p>
<p>Maybe I would have stopped by that night.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>We wouldn&#39;t have had that stupid fight...</p>
<p>Do you remember that night?</p>
<p><em><span style="color: #990000">I do</span></em>.</p>
<p>I wish I didn&#39;t.</p>
<p>But now, I realize that it was the last time I ever heard your voice...</p>
<p>And so, I don&#39;t think I&#39;ll ever be able to forget.</p>
<p>I won&#39;t be able to forget the <span style="color: #990000">screaming</span></p>
<p>the <span style="color: #ffffff">thunder</span></p>
<p>the <span style="color: #990000">shattering</span> of the vase (the crystal one&#160;Inari gave you for your b&#39;day)</p>
<p>the yelling</p>
<p>the <span style="color: #990000">tears</span> that filled up in your eyes - the ones you rubbed away before they ever had a chance to fall...</p>
<p>I&#39;ll never forget the way you looked at me that night</p>
<p>The anger</p>
<p>the disbelief</p>
<p><em><span style="color: #ffffff">and the</span> <span style="color: #990000">pain</span><span style="color: #ffffff">...</span></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff"></span>&#160;</p>
<p><em><span style="color: #990000">Just leave me alone...</span></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #990000"></span>&#160;</p>
<p>Want to know a secret?</p>
<p>It wasn&#39;t the screaming that made me leave...</p>
<p>It was that look.</p>
<p>Your words.</p>
<p>I couldn&#39;t bear the thought of hurting you...</p>
<p>and I realized I had.</p>
<p>Over and over,</p>
<p>So, I packed up my bags and left.</p>
<p><em>Didn&#39;t even kiss you goodbye.</em></p>
<p>Left you alone, with your &quot;substances&quot;</p>
<p>Left a shaky you trying to pour a drink into a glass.</p>
<p>Didn&#39;t even offer to help.</p>
<p>Didn&#39;t call.</p>
<p>Didn&#39;t bat an eyelid when that other guy moved in.</p>
<p>Didn&#39;t say a word to you&#160;when I ever ran into you anywhere.</p>
<p>Didn&#39;t say anything when I saw the first bruise.</p>
<p>Didn&#39;t listen to the rumors...</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p><em>I didn&#39;t know.</em></p>
<p>I didn&#39;t know he <span style="color: #990000">hurt</span> you.</p>
<p>I didn&#39;t <u><em>want</em></u> to know.</p>
<p>So... I didn&#39;t.</p>
<p>I don&#39;t know why I smiled at you last night Sayuri.</p>
<p>Maybe I thought it was finally time.</p>
<p>Maybe it was the fact that it was <span style="color: #990000">raining</span>, and I always love you more when it <span style="color: #990000">rains.</span></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #990000">But I didn&#39;t say a word...</span></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff"><em>Would things be different if I had spoken to you?</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #999999">Would it have changed anything?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #999999">Would they still find your body in that bathtub?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #999999">I wonder what was the last thing you thought of...</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="color: #999999">Were you </span><span style="color: #990000">scared</span>?</span></p>
<p>Did you close your eyes when you drew that line?</p>
<p>Did it hurt?</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p><em><span style="color: #cc0000">Leave me alone...</span></em></p>
<p>Those were your last words to me...</p>
<p><em><span style="color: #ffffff">and I wish I had never listened...</span></em></p>   <p style="clear:both;">
