lost Hunger for love
no Katniss and no Peeta
if not for the Games!
Warm and safe I feel
Standing next to my lover
Whose love keeps me sane
Whole world is watching
Fear overwhelms all thinking
Let the games begin
Thoughts nag like a burr:
is it wrong to love, and die
for, her; a stranger?
The name is not mine
Yet I feel a surge of pain
For she has called Prim
My quest to survive
Has become that which consumes
Bread knoweth my fire.
They're cruel and vain
to put us into their games
to be monsters
She's a fighter,
She'll fight for what she loves,
Even if it means death.
I walk the Primrose path,
I fear what's to come will be my end,
Hope is safe, warm, dreams.
One name in thousands.
They can't take her. Not my Prim.
Me. “I volunteer!”
I'd pick Peeta too.
The cure for all life's traumas?
Carbs. A lot of carbs.
Pick Peeta or Gale?
Well, I've always been a fan
of polyandry!
As I sing Rue's song,
Flowers celebrate her life,
The war has begun.
inhale arrow flies
distant cannon sounds exhale
one more face up high
Countdown has begun
I spot a bow and arrow
There just might be hope
I hide in the trees
mocking all who created
capitol will fall
Don't Cry My Daughter
Hear My Call It's Your Father
Lets Leave The Slaughter
An underground tomb,
But flowers hide all that died,
I'll never forget.
intoxicated
ingrained imagery of life
bodies dead inside
secret crush is known
love is enough to sustain
Peeta stay with me
The girl on fire
Fire does'nt win all wars
But love can conquer
-Peeta
Survival is a must
beyond everything, and above all
His love will save me
Must fight to live
Dedication to all my friends
last to be last
Gale, Peeta, and Prim
The ones for whom I shall have
Undying love for
Girl on Fire's eyes
Burn bright with Capitol hate
She takes aim and shoots
