The Heart of Me

[LaneyDoll]

“All men have stars, but they are not the same things for different people. For some, who are travelers, the stars are guides. For others they are no more than little lights in the sky. For others, who are scholars, they are problems... But all these stars are silent. You-You alone will have stars as no one else has them... In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars will be laughing when you look at the sky at night..You, only you, will have stars that can laugh! And when your sorrow is comforted (time soothes all sorrows) you will be content that you have known me... You will always be my friend. You will want to laugh with me. And you will sometimes open your window, so, for that pleasure... It will be as if, in place of the stars, I had given you a great number of little bells that knew how to laugh”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

~She~

When she is away from me, I ache for her.

It is only in her presence, in her embrace, that I feel complete.

There is never a moment where she is not in my thoughts,
in my heart,
in my soul.

My first thought in the morning,
my last in the evening.

She brings magic to my dreams and fills my sleep with peace.

She is my world and my world is empty without her.

"Wrap Me" by Laney

Wrap me in your darkness
for I need it to feel secure.
Tell me that no matter what,
you will always be here.
Take these quiet moments
and fill them with your kiss.
Embrace me in your darkness,
for that is my only wish.
When you tell me that you love me,
you cut me to the bone.
Because the times that we are apart,
leave me restless and forlorn.
It seems that I cannot find you
and I'm wandering without lead.
But my heart knows you are with me
and you are all I'll ever need.

Delicate Darling Dance Deliberate Devil Demonize Dishes Death Deliverance



“Dance with me my darling,” she whispered into my ear.

The delicate sweetness of her voice was hypnotizing

A contrast to the devil that lived within her soul

Slow, deliberate movements around the kitchen

Where dishes sat drying and the smell of dinner still lingered

I could demonize her in my mind, turn her into a hateful fiend

But I could never find deliverance from the haunted memories

The tortured moments I endured since she had left

Now, with dry dishes on the counter and the touch of death still in the air

I closed my eyes and remembered the last dance we had shared.

Exhausted Stars Delicate Love Farewells Touch Mingle Photograph Dance


Exhausted stars would no longer weep for me
Delicate tears would no longer fall from the sky
A true love's farewells had long since faded-
Like a photograph ravaged by time

Surreptitious touches and captured kisses were gone
Replaced with the forlorn longing for "just one more" moment
One more time when seeming strangers would mingle casually
Hiding the truth behind masks of deception and lust

Like any dance, it would end but end sorrowfully
And after infinite nights of imagined intimacy
And endless days of heart wrenching sobs
Forbidden love would fade and exhausted stars would breathe again

"Pretty Little Girl" by Laney

Pretty little girl,
locked up in a pretty cage
Seemingly protected
from the hatred and the rage

Pretty lttle girl,
spoonfed tiny bits of care
But shunned in the moment
That someone else was there

Pretty little girl,
Barely offered any joy
Isolated from the world
As someone else's toy

Pretty little girl
Never wanted to be free
But still she fails the only one
Who ever held the key
