Options contest, with a twist

for this contest I want fresh writes. I want good writes. I don't care what style or form. You will have 3 options categories. 1, 2 and 3. Each category will have 10 options A-J. The twist? You have to combine 2 options and they cannot be from the same category. This contest will remain open until I feel there is a sufficient amount of entries. One poem per person for now, may change to 2 if there are not enough entries.

So on to the options...

Category 1 Song inspired (song content, not titles)

(a)Nine Inch Nails- The Wretched
(b.)Marilyn Manson- Putting Holes In Happiness
(c)Dope- With Or Without You
(d)U2- With Or Without You
(e)Blue October- Hate Me
(f)Snow Patrol- Make This Go On Forever
(g)Smashing Pumpkins- Thirty-Three
(h)Loudermilk- California
(i)Linkin Park- Leave Out All The Rest
(j)She Wants Revenge- Someone Must Get Hurt

Category 2 Lines (don't use them word for word please, they are from my writings. Use them as inspiration.)

(a) For love of the fight we play the game
(b.) I'll smile and lie and swear I do not cry
(c) No god is making you. We do just what we do. Make up a greater name and pass the blame.
(d) In a world of marionettes I reject my strings
(e) I've seen beneath. The self you keep, and the lie that kept me
(f) Even if it is not returned, I am thankful for being in love.
(g) So we send our guns and we send our sons and we'll all look away 'til the deed is done
(h) my only regret in knowing you is I did not know you better
(i) I can feel the warmth of your body but you're still so far away
(j) You think of hell as a way of life.

Category 3 word banks (must use all 5 words. Okay to change the form of the word eg: perfect, perfectly, perfection, etc)

(a) Winter, chill, black, empty, alone
(b.) Fire, hate, enemy, conflict, fatal
(c) Perfect, undone, smile, capture, beauty
(d) Hate, love, abandon, finish, over
(e) Walk, alone, together, lie, pretend
(f) Vulgar, unseen, enemy, monster, god/goddess
(g) Ocean, slip, undertow, crushed, consumed
(h) Bored, evil, good, desire, lost
(i) Open, exposed, hidden, together, undone
(j) Summer, love, happy, complete, smile

Please tell me what two options you combined in your Author's notes (1a+3c, 2b+1j, you get it.) And please put your user name in you A.N. as well in case I open it up to 2 entries per person. Thank you, enjoy.
