Did you really have to leave?
Without saying goodbye
Leaving me in tears
Wondering why?
I was really hoping
to be more than a friend
But for some strange reason
My plan had to end
As I recalled
That very special day
I was thinking "hey!
What did he have to say?"
During that day
there was lots to be said
And I realized that
It all went in my head
When you said "I love you"
I said "I love you too"
But now I'm just questioning
Was it ever true?
__________________________________________________
I promised to be your friend.
Always and Forever.
Never had I thought
We would be more
What if I did fall for you
What if I did love you more?
I never had a second thought
But as I see you with a girl
I realized I was too late.
I had a fear of loving you
The fear of no more friends
My fear is just a big mistake
Looking at you laughing
In the arms of another.
My fear was me being stupid
Because looking at it now
I did really love you
Way more than a friend
I didn't want to admit it
But if I did we would be together
Sharing those laughs
Sharing the smiles
Sharing the Love.
My Fear of loving you... was wrong
I didn't have a fear of love
It was the fear of rejection.
The fear of unwantingness
Now to tell you I love you.
Now is no use
Now is too late
Now I have a fear
The fear of losing a friend

You used me once
I started to cry
You used me twice
Just another time
You used me three times
I'm wondering why?
You used me four times
I knew that you'd lie
You used me five times
Why am I not surprised?
You used me the last time,
Boy that will be the last time.

The sky turned as dark as the eerie path in an endless cave as I walked briskly up the pathway of my new house. I finally reached the door and the strong, cold wind howled in my ears and tore away the last of autumn's golden leaves. I took a deep breath, opened the door and cautiously stepped inside. I was greeted by a grand entrance hall and the greatest flight of stairs I've ever seen! I decided to take a tour around this magnificent mansion. "Am I dead or am I alive?" I'd whisper, absolutely stunned. I opened the door of my new bedroom. I felt a buzz of excitement erupt in me. There was a portrait that hung over the king size bed. It was of a girl with long, wavy ginger hair. she wore a navy ball gown and her eyes shone like sapphires. I unpacked my bags, got into my PJs and read a chapter of my book.
“You can’t!” I screeched, griping the thick grass beneath my paws.
“The whole forest will belong to the Pack of Shadows!” the dark wolf exclaimed enthusiastically, his fur flickering like shadows, “No wolf will stop us!”
I have to do something! I couldn’t let it end like this! Not with the alpha in this state! Not with the pack split in four!
“Out of my way pup!” he tossed me aside like a tiny mouse.
“No!” I leaped at him, biting and clawing with all my strength.
“This is pointless! You cannot defeat me she-wolf!” I felt him bite me and fling me away again. I was too tired to move now, after traveling this far without resting, I can no longer breathe enough to live.
I’m over; this is the end of the Pack of Ice! I lay winded and defeated, awaiting death’s arrival patiently.
1. Leaving holes in the backstory.
As learned from Marty Chan, the human imagination is not only the most beautiful place in the world, it can also be the most horrific. If a person leaves some space empty (ex: "Tara disappeared after the encounter and was never heard from again....") , your mind will immediately fill it in, your imagination coming up with the most grisly scenario possible....
2. Waiting a REALLY long time for the killer/ monster to show up.
The person becomes bored and even slightly drowsy, which makes them more vulnerable to fear. If the antagonist pops up about halfway through (especially out of nowhere, and at night) they'll jump up as though just awaken from a nightmare. A little humor will definitely help if you're planning on doing this.
