We Die TonightThe cracks are covered with cellophane.
The hope is always out of reach.
And good memories seem to be
The only thing we can never keep.

The louder the scream, the less the sting,
Stopped working years ago.
So now our fractured lives hang in the air
And a note is left so our death is clear.

(Sleeping pills and masking tape
Surround us on the bed.
Coal burners and briquettes
Dance around in my head.)

Burning, keep on burning in the room
Then you'll find sleep comes easy
When your dreams are gone, too.
The hope is always out of reach,
So lay to rest as the door is closed.
Lick your lips for our last kiss.
Finally, we've made

Don't want to know youSat here deleting all the old pictures
Of you with your cheeky smile,
And now I can see those controllers,
But I don't understand
How I missed them by a mile
Why don't you understand?
Please! I don't want to hold your hand!

I don't wanna know yah
Your a fucking controller
Too lost in your maze of a mind!
I don't wanna know yah
Your a fucking loner
Always looking for some joy ride!

'Cause you wasted all your time
Making up all those lies,
And they fell oh so quickly,
When I realised
That look in your eyes
You've figured it out?
Yeah! Maybe with some help!

I don't wanna know yah
Your a fucking controller
Too lost

Be-you-tiful.Beautiful isn't a flat stomach.
It's actually far from that.

You see, some people may call
People beautiful from what
They see on the outside.
I, on the other hand, see
The inner beauty.
& When there's inner beauty,
You seem even more beautiful
On
The
Outside.

No need to starve
Yourself.
Or purge your food.
Or take any pills.
You're already beautiful.
Inside
And
Out.

Outer beauty comes from
Inner beauty.

Confidence is key.
We're all beautiful.
Inside
&
Out.

I Was WrongMaybe I was wrong
You don't need me
That's why you left

I'm the one that needs you

I don't feel the need to change myself to make you want me again
If who I am isn't good enough, then maybe I'm better off alone

I wish things could go back to being like they were
Me and you
Fitting perfectly together
Letting everything disappear

I know I'm young
People tell me I'll find someone else
Someone better
That I'll love again
But I don't know if I can be that open with anyone other than you
I'm too guarded
And besides
I have trouble seeing myself with anyone but
You

I know how to be strong and that I shouldn't let one relationship

FreakRunning, running,
My legs can't take it anymore
Why must I run from you?

You're just like me
We're taught that
It's not what a person looks like
It's who they are inside
That is what matters

Who am I on the inside?
To deserve this
To have my classmate
Hunt me down
Like a dog to a stick

You call me a freak
Why is that?
Why am I a freak?
I don't hide who I am

While my eyes are black
Behind yours
I can see tears
Threatening to come

Calling me weak
Won't make you strong

Calling me a loser
Won't make you a winner

Calling me a freak
Won't make you normal

I can taste my own blood
Still fresh on my lips
Yet you have s

The RoseTear the rose apart
Let the blossom die
Tear it like you tear a heart
Fill it with your empty lies

Scream in deaths name
Cause that's what it does
Set it on fire
And as it burns laugh

The rose is your light
The rose is your dream
Still you destroy it
The virginity of pendants

The rose has its thorns
But it doesn't want to hurt you
The rose is insecure
And still it smells so sweet

The rose is a symbol
That makes us think
The rose is a hope
And it decays, In a dying world

Crimson WingsThe one thing that seems to get hurt the most
The one thing that I need to glide away
The one thing that protects my back and hurts the worst
The thing that rests on my shoulder blades

They get targeted and ripped apart
Attacked and hit so hard
They are almost as important as my heart
They are like my force field or guard

They are black and covered with scales
Soft in places and silky to the touch
They spread out wide and can be as hard as nails
And so you know they're really tough

But when I'm flying in a battle
People send attacks on them
The wound's aren't fatal
But it can put me out of commission

They are full of sensitivi

Square oneI thought i was over it.
I was fine for a few days,
You were just a person to me.
Not someone i saw as a best friend.
Now I'm back to square one,
It hurts when your around,
Back to square one,
Like you taking away my friends again,
Leaving me out.
I then think back,
To the times we had.
How we were the very best of friends.
How you now have other friends,
Moved on, unlike me.
I had got to the stage,
Where i thought i could delete those texts,
But now i can't,
I couldn't possibly delete them.
I have gone right back to sqaure one.

WeatheredLook upon the weathered rock
Cracks that race across its surface
They tell of a lifetime of labors
Pitts that scar its skin
They tell of an existence full of hardship
Water slowly whisks bits and pieces of it away
Other rocks smash and crack it
Wind beats flecks of its being out of existence
Living things use it to kill and to build
But, it has lasted and will last forever
For even if it was broken into a thousand bits of stone
It would still live
To be carried by wind, water, or animal to the far corners of the earth
No matter how cracked
No matter how beaten
No matter how smashed
It will always exist

completely brokenI am completely broken,
trying hard not to show it.
Trying not to let the tears fall:
Flood,
The classroom floor.

SilenceThey say speaking is silver and silence is gold,
In some cases it might be true.
But there is also a truth that goes untold,
Even if it might be quite blue.

Silence is sometimes bad,
Not always so don't get upset.
Some things that are evil can make us go mad,
Some things that are even a threat.

Even if your enemies will make your blood boil,
The silence of your friends will be what hurts you more.
Words might hurt us, but silence can torment us.

BrokenOnce I was whole now I'm broken
I need to be reborn
Don't let me go
What was broken cannot be repair
Kiss me and return my pulse again
Never let me go
Break me once more
I don't want to be your friend I want to be your lover
My heart is broken, having your name upon it
But don't let me go
Never let me go
I need to be reborn
Nothing last forever, nothing's truly perfect
But I know it's worth it
Being blind, being fooled – I'm no use
Little broken loving fool
Don't let me go
Don't let go my hand
Don't try to understand
Just love me as I am
I am broken, broken till the end

LivingMixture of emotions,
Swell into ones heart,
Nothing can fix it,
The stress will continue to build up,
Until you are forced to suffocate in it,
Because living,
Is like Hell for me

Good-ByeTime has gone, time has past.
Lovers made, lovers lost.

Beauty gone, through all I've seen
Moments made, in soft seam.

Journey travailed, though and through
No more time, for me and you.

Seasons where, I wish I could
Hold your hand, like we would.

Friends I've lost, ones I've gained
Nights where, my eyes rained.

Holding hands, where lovers slept
Remember now, just how we met.

Want more time, the clock is on
Turn it off, no more gong.

Seconds zoomed, minutes faded
All this time, never wasted.

So many things, can happen now
I think it's time, just take a bow.

All in all, it's been fun
You and I, the show is done.

Glad we've

Only In My HeadI am flesh and blood.
The darkness can not touch me.
It is in my head.

A Memory Unable to EraseThe cracks reaching to our
Hearts down the walls
The stains on the old hotel's bathroom floor
Won't ever allow me to let go

Love is so ambiguous isn't it?
Just one word you said so isolated
Like it was just us against the world
Which it always was and always will be

That was the only thing that was certain
The only thing alive and real
Yet you threw it all away
For merely a selfish feeling

Then all of the emotions spun out of control
So you left as quick as a light switch
Turning your life off without one word
Breaking your promise and now, so am I

I remember the last time you said,
"I love you."
It's like running from rain

BetrayalThe words spin around in harmony with the air
Circulating the cold room from the breaking ceiling-fan
I begin to shiver, but the fan just can't seem to cool off the anger

For once I don't know what to do and I can't follow my own advice
The blank easel standing in the corner and my favorite book in my hand
Which I can't seem to do anything even with emotions clouding my head

I would think I'd have some inspiration to at least get up
Maybe paint a picture or quench the ever-growing hunger
But instead I grab the pages to my book and then begin to tear

I roll over on my bed hoping for a new thought
And instead I'm granted the opposite

White Light

It suddenly dawned on me that everything around me had disappeared. Whiteness was all I could see. Everywhere I turned, everything was entirely white. I looked again and again; over and over. A diminutive black speck (or maybe my imagination) appeared from what seemed miles away. I took casual steps forward despite the unease advancing in my gut.
Hours? Days? I couldn't tell how long it was that I have walked, but my legs were aching for sure.
I definitely knew there was something there. It was growing gradually larger. Curiosity sprung all across my body! This adrenaline… this- this excitement! Running forward, I ignore

The Nature Behind MurderOne to hurt him.
Two to knock him cold.
Three for the heck of it.
Four to make a mold.
Five to fuck him up.
Six to kill him.

The rest is all for fun.

I no longer taste the past
The pleasure's in the present
No time for the future
(It's time to let go)
I no longer see human faces
The pressure's tugging on
My dead soul

One to hurt him.
Two to knock him cold.
Three for the heck of it.
Four to make a mold.
Five to fuck him up.
Six to kill him.

The rest is all for fun.

I sleep well at night
I dream of their static eyes
Skin so thin and cold
(And then leaves the light)
I keep the door open
As I'm beating him
Let them see

Her Smile That KillsHer creamy skin is as smooth as a baby
Ever so slightly pouting her soft lips
Always embracing herself, waiting for a kiss
Volume enriched hair, she lets tangle in the wind
Ecstatically preparing for another rehearsed tease
No one can take their eyes off of her

Only I defeat the curse, her bones
Radiate the darkness in her heart

Her black lashes nor her seducing glare
Eclipses the knowledge I have of her deceit
Letting her nude body stand at the open window
Lust is just the thing she hides behind

Once again, her blood is tainted by fear
Reminiscing her old betraying love

Producing masses of fake smiles and laughter
Unbalanced b

Sorrow

by ~JoplinSpider, Jul 28, 2012, 12:18:38 PM
Literature / Poetry / Emotional / Free Verse

I'm running out of hope for now,
Breaking through all we've known.
Boarded windows hide the past
And bandages don't seem to last.

One day, we can leave
But we'll just wait and see.
All those times we've felt nothing,
Now have ripped the seams.

We've faded away into the air.
Two lifeless souls and none to care.
I feel invisible in my own world
My head created to crumble.

Why thank you

...Ugh. I find it slightly pathetic how much I can relate to the poem. But the artist comment is right; and luckily I don't like to dwell on things that much.

As for the poem itself; I'm not much of a poet myself, so I'm not confident enough to critique you, but I find this a very powerful, very well written piece. It's not too short and you didn't drag it out either; and I absolutely love the last stanza.

Thank you so very much
