&lt;p&gt;So what happens now ?.. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In my brief time here I have come across&amp;nbsp;a few&amp;nbsp;great characters, who I know already I will miss...I have been receiving pms linking to others sites..but I am still confused.. will this place be re-opened somewhere&amp;nbsp;else in a similiar format or is this the end ?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If&amp;nbsp;there is no&amp;nbsp;gathering elsewhere and this really heralds the end of O.S..then it has been&amp;nbsp;a pleasure&amp;nbsp;meeting&amp;nbsp; those of you that I have&amp;nbsp;, even for such a brief time.. and I know there are many I was also bound to meet in the fullness of time had this not happened!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Are there any plans afoot to continue on with this blog or is this really the end?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;I never even learned how to embed a Youtube video :(&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Love Brianne.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;She left herself in the field,&lt;br&gt;In the tall grass and the rain.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span&gt;...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; She lay as still as a heartbeat freeze-frame.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Silently she slept with eyes wide open,&lt;br&gt;Her empty shell staring at the stars,&lt;br&gt;No sign of&amp;nbsp; conscience,&lt;br&gt;No sign of&amp;nbsp; home.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Her eye sockets containing no more than a silver radiation,&lt;br&gt;Softly glowing.&lt;br&gt;Not looking for desire.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;No desire for love anymore.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A wound opened the side of her neck,&lt;br&gt;Gaping and dark,&lt;br&gt;Oozing with a brand new emotion,&lt;br&gt;Too alien for a soul to bare.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Her insides on display,&lt;br&gt;With all their guilt.&lt;br&gt;With all her fury that had vacated her,&lt;br&gt;And left a faint scent behind,&lt;br&gt;But not enough to hold onto.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;She lay exposed to the world&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Moonbeams drift from far away to light up the faces in my bed,&lt;br&gt;And to cling to my breath as it tumbles in mid-air,&lt;br&gt;Rolling like the misty ghost of an ocean wave-&lt;br&gt;Eerily silent and crawling as if time had found love and forgotten itself.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;My empty windows gaze without life, fixed on the ceiling,&lt;br&gt;Irises white and hungry,&lt;br&gt;Finding names and curses in the textures of the paint,&lt;br&gt;And finding new ways to imprint you into my memory-&lt;br&gt;To make sure you stay in my sleep.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;My heart beats like a heavy drum,&lt;br&gt;Pumping blood as thick as mud through my veins,&lt;br&gt;Becoming hateful,&lt;br&gt;Violently swirling laces you'd whispered to me like secrets that I'd rather forget.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;My stomach crawls when I replay my own delusion-&lt;br&gt;To think your heart held intent other than a conspiracy,&lt;br&gt;A plan to drain me.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A plan to kill my glow.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It burns me up inside, down deep,&lt;br&gt;Where my hummingbird resides and dies slowly in suffocation,&lt;br&gt;Choking on it's own song.&lt;br&gt;Blooming blue, purple, indigo and violet clouds,&lt;br&gt;They seep through my pores and colour me-&lt;br&gt;So cold.&lt;br&gt;It burns me up.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You set me on fire from the inside,&lt;br&gt;Burning inside my bones.&lt;br&gt;You gave me the flames that burn, tinted with strawberry,&lt;br&gt;That shine through the cracks in my skeleton-&lt;br&gt;Through the broken pieces of myself,&lt;br&gt;Through the aftermath of the quake.&lt;br&gt;They burn so brightly&lt;br&gt;,And fill my lungs with your second-hand cigarettes.&lt;/p&gt;
