Life #1

I sit in darkness
Waching in silence
Somthing is out there
Waiting
Waiting
Waiting for the moment
The moment I move
To get me
To consume my life
Into nothing
Not to see the light again
It awaits for me at every corner
It is time for me to face this monster
It is time for me to face life

Wishing #2

A wave of heat
Surges through my body
As I step in the door
& my hands are marked.
This guy is new.
I walk to the back
Where it's dark as night
& greet the beautiful people.
They know me here.
I sit on a stool
Infront of the bar
& I watch the kids
Come in the door at random.
I know them all.
He keeps walking by.
He waves, & keeps going.
He looks like he's lost.
I think he's always lost...
Why won't he let me find him?
I'll keep throwing myself out there
Wishing, wishing
Wishing...

Misconception of Love #3

I feel fear
Biting through my lip.
Shards of glass in your smile
Stinging my mouth
But all I see are your eyes.
Blue eyes.
Dangerous blue eyes;
Something like razorblades in my skin.
Trusting you is like throwing myself into a fire
But I'd rather burn
Than not know your star.
We stand face-to-face here
A burden holding us both back
A difference in the air, though,
Makes us think twice.
Do not lean in too close,
Beautiful,
This cannot happen today.

15 #4

Dripping down her cheek
Why she can not remember
Everything around her getting dark
Her eyes close slowly
As she wonders why she did it
She didnt want to hurt anyone
But her actions took place
As shes on her bed
Her final thoughts go through her mind
She writes the letter that says it all
Blood gets stained onto the paper
She wonders how they will react
When they walk in the room
To find her masked
Under a white sheet she now lays
Soon to be 6 feet under
In her own grave
Her parents wonder
What they did
They find the letter
She once did
It reads how she's sorry
But could not live
With the fact that
She killed her own kid
She wanted them to know
She was going to have a baby
But at the age of 15
She could not handle
The pressures
And laughter
From the others
It was only the once
She took precautions
One note it ended with sorrow
I love you mommy
I love you daddy
I'm sorry but you little girl had to go

Without #5

The smile is hollow,
The laugh is a lie,
For there is nothing to laugh about,
So all one can do is cry,
And with all these tears drown,
In your own river of sorrow and regret,
So bring some loved ones,
So you can just pull them down with you,
Misery loves company,
At least you wont die lonely,
Like me, right??
And all things that float down this river
Get washed upon the shore
All battered and torn
With no remains of what it once was
Nothing is able to restore it
Not even the same tears that make this river flow
They are the one thing that corrodes
With their acidic flow
That wear down everything touched
But all in good time
With its slow corrode
You will fade
Into nothing
With my feelings
That endlessly flow down this river
In this river of pain
I am forever drowning
With no one to help
Not even myself
This river has no buoyancy
Everything floats like a rock
I scream for help
But no sound may arise from these bubbles
As I gasp for my last breath
My lungs fill with liquid
My own tears that made this river
May drown me alone
In this desolate, cold river
No life stirs not even my own now
For I am gone
As I sink to the dark depths
I shall never rise again
To know the warm feelings
Of another human being
I will never have that sense again
All fades black into oblivion

What Was Missing #6

The storm was fucking beautiful tonight.
Sky lit up like angel's echoes
Blending with words
So well suited for such occasions.
What was missing?
A voice to sing those words;
Your hands to hold me down;
To keep my body
From surging into the lightning.
I saw your breath
Against my window
& felt your smile;
Absent & weak.
Your tears stung my hand
As they fell from the night sky.
On the lonely highway that took me home tonight.
Horizon growing ever nearer
& your pulse on the windshield

Oh God #7

Oh God,
How many times do you think
I could write the same words?
God,
Who will have anything but mercy on me,
How many ways can I slit my wrists
& pour the ink into poorly written poems?
Oh God!
The God who will give my heart wings,
& lift my soul from the burdens on life.
God,
Who will lend towards false hope
& dreams that turn into prayers,
Which will forever remain unanswered
Because maybe there is no God at all.

Actions #8

Don't build me up only to let me fall and shatter
Just hold me tightly, do my feelings really matter
You say you love me and you are always there
But how can I believe you truely care
Don't hurt me again, I've been broken in two, too many times
I'm sorry If the words Forever never ever rhyme
They aren't meant to, because you and I are way long gone
I'm sorry that I was lost and I can never belong
Because your heart held no room for me
I couldnt play the part, I couldnt be what you wanted me to be
Maybe in your heart you really do care
But actions speak louder than words,and you where not there
So why do you keep wiping the tears from my eyes
Why is it you can hear my lonely cries
I don't want to be a burden on your shoulders
Maybe it doesnt matter because your much older
I can never express myself to you
I can never tell you how you make me blue
But this is my last warning to say
Don't break me again, don't tear me this way

Dreams #9

A star clad sky,
Bearing a milky view of the heavens
Rests above me a solace.
The rolling clouds which cover the moon
Will not dishearten me near as much
As the thoughts of your self-indused demise
Which plague the mind of an angel.
Inside your dapper appearance
Lies a heart heavy with grief.
A heart which once held hopes;
Ones which you feel are no longer tangible.
But rest assured, angel,
Those dreams do not lie in a grave

Silence #10

Why does it hurt so bad
To be so numb?
In a comatose state,
Wrists pulsing,
I'm left to feel nothing.
& the emptiness is lethal.
The absense of all but thought
Will be my suicide.
My voice thickens inside my throat.
Can't say a word.
Can't scream.
No voice

Don't Leave Me #11

Fracture to the head;
Splintered bullet to the skull.
Your existance means more
Than any physical pain.
My mind; unable to create
Those beautiful words you need to hear.
& I know you'll never see...
Understand what I cannot tell you.
I'll take this blade
Under my skin again
& make your name.
A beautiful shrine to a beautiful mind.
Someone I cannot live without.
Don't leave me now,
The only one who breathes life into me.
This trip for 2.

I Quit #12

I'm giving up
That's it
I QUIT
Here is my life
I never thought
Life would be this hard
Between friends and foes
Right and wrong
I can't believe
I have lasted this long
So I'm giving up
That's it
I QUIT

What am I doing? #13

What am I doing?
I don't not know
Do I love him still
Or should I let him go
Do I have something inside
For the one I am with
There must be something
Or am I just hoping there is
What am i doing?
I do not know
My hate is toward him
This guy that does not frown
But I also feel sympathy
But why do I
He took away
My friend, my companion
What am I doin?
I do not know
Maybe my answers
Will never come
Who knows, who knows
