I WantI want to feel
the magic
the hope
the emotions
of sweet pure love

I want to feel
the warm embraces
the soft kisses
the beating of our hearts
all the promises of love

I want to see
the beauty
the sweetness
the happiness
of love

I want to see
the heart of my lover
the best and worst of love
the relationship last
all the time it should

It's not too much to ask

PuddlesGoddamn my coward
Goddamn your strength
I hate you
And you know that
I would never say that to you
Because I love you
I am weak
My soul is frail
And I never know what to do
With my voice
Because I'm an Idiot
Without a cause

But you know that's
a lie as well
You're my cause
and the reason
I'm a puddle of a person
welling up with only
clear, useless, abandoned
things
and
thoughts

Who Am I?Smile
Laugh
Play
That's what I fake every day

Cry
Scream
Fight
That's what I do every night

Mean
Selfish
Cruel
That's how I act at school

Worthless
Brat
Loam
That's what I'm called at home

Bipolar
Violent
Stone
That's what I am on my own

Who am I?

My Quiet VoiceMY QUIET VOICE

Why don't you stop talking
Why don't you listen
for a change
let my quiet voice
be heard
And then I can become
What I want to
Without holding back
and no reservations for
my quiet voice
I want it to rip
from my throat
racing towards you
and into the sky
my quiet voice
Resonate over every cloud
Plummet into every abyss
Break through every wall
my quiet voice
Why don't you stop talking
Why don't you listen,
for a change
let my quiet voice be heard
Resonate over every cloud
Plummet into every abyss
Break through every wall
my quiet voice
and it screams
and it cries
and it laughs
and it dies
wi

MessEverywhere I go
Every single place
The troubles seem to grow
Every smiling face
Eventually frowns with woe

Why can't I do
Anything right
I just screw
Up everything despite
The happiness I try to spew

Is it me
Am I the source of this ache
Does the pain flow free
Is this what I make
People be?

Should I go away and hide
Never to see others
Or the outside
But would I stop another's
Pain and be the only one that ever cried

What is a life with no grey
When everyone is sad
I'd give it all away
It wouldn't be that bad
I would finally be able to say

I saved a life

To DissapperTo vanish
Into thin air
And never be
Seen ever again

Dissolving
That simple
Thing is what
I am scared of doing

But I
Can feel
Myself slowly
Becoming invisible

I can
See my
Shadow getting
Lighter and lighter

I notice
My refection
Growing more
And more transparent

Every time
I speak I can
Hear my voice
Growing dimmer

I wonder
If I am dying
And this is how I will go,
Just simply turned into nothing

SurvivorsWho said I needed you
Who said you could speak
Who said I love you

They are all lies
I'm muddled and holed and
torn and shredded
and so beaten down
that
what is
hope
I hear it screamed, whispered,
passed from calloused hand to hand
voices hushed and broken

and I think I don't
know what to think
but that's okay
because I hate you

HopeHope is just the lies
I tell myself
Hope tells me tomorrow
Will be better then today
So I don't cry myself to sleep
Hope whispers that next time
I'll do things right
When I only make it worse
Hope says that everything will be alright
When I know it won't be
Hope promises that there is a perfect
Person for me and that one day
I'll find that person
Hope shouts that one day
I'll do great things
And will always be rememebered
So that I'll never truely die
Hope sings of a better place
When there isn't one
Hope mocks that it could be worse
But most of the time
I'd do anything to not be me
Hope is merely a lie
But that's oka

WordsWords float on a thin line
Some scurry through
My cloudy mind
Never to be caught only
Leaving their essence behind
Give me writings to where
People can sometimes find
What I mean

No matter what I do
I can never seem to convey
The emotion of my poem to
A person despite who they are
I even doubt you
Will get just what I mean
When I finish a poem I rue
Make the stupid poem

My own words
Are twisting and forming
Into a poem I didn't make
Sometimes I feel like crying
The frustration is so great
I keep writing
Otherwise I'll always
Be just scribbling

A constant reminderMy vision blurs
and the tears begin to fall
I see myself
so vulnerable before

I see myself
So easily afraid
not real but hidden
hidden behind what I knew

Everything was false
I had lied,
and had been lied to
promises were broken

Love lost was a love found
best friends no more
I see it all how it was
and how it is

I am constantly reminded
by who I am now
No longer afraid
but not ready to let go...

a presentA present so close to Christmas
one so majestic and pure
a small bound box with a ribbon
smelling some of myrrh
I've even put a bow on it
it's making such a whir

i hold my hands in front of me
waiting for your smile
holding them outstretched silently
hoping it's slightly worth while
you don't know it yet
but it's gone slightly out of style

handing you the box
handcrafted and of choice
i take a step back not making a sound
i wait to hear your voice
a bit of butterflies fluttering so deep
i slowly start to rejoice

you open this little box
handcrafted and so frail
the intoxicating smells of perfume
that smell a bit like ale

HauntedEverywhere I go,
Smiles all around me
Your addicting, haunting face
Is all that I see

Some pitiful lies
From a jerk that I once knew
My injured, aching heart
May start breaking soon

I contain all of my screams
And hold back my stream of tears
Yet still, your stupid name
Is my one and only fear

The scars I can't erase,
I blame them all on you
But still, it is my choice
To do the things I do

I never learned my lesson,
So another chance you got;
One after the other,
But you left me there to rot

The pain has not subsided
And your name echoes my thoughts
That damn thing won't go away,
So my sorry life it taunts

You left me

Dance On The MoonI dream a little thing,
I just need a soothing tune
It seems a silly wish
For a dance upon the Moon

We'll leave when midnight comes
And the Moon is at its peak
We'll take a rocket to the Moon,
For a dance is what we seek

A silent serenade
Or the whisper of the breeze
There's no music on the Moon,
But dance with me, please

The ride there will be long,
But we'll have each other there
The Moon is soon to come,
Then a dance we shall both share

We'll leave when light arrives
And the Sun comes out to play
As we dance upon the Moon,
There will be nothing more to say

The subtle evening sounds
Or the trickling of a brook
As we da

Good-byeI've lived my life
Its been fun
But all this strife
Is not what I want
I can't stand living this way
Puts all this pain in my chest
Nothing will convince me to stay
Life just doesn't contain that zest
I only wanted love
But thats too much to ask
I have nothing to prove
I'm done with this painful task
Don't ask me why
'Cause I won't tell
That I hate my life
and the way I fell
And now that I'm done
I bid you ado
The angels have flown
Not looking back to you

This Love, My LifeYou're my savior
I no longer feel the need
You sustained the hunger
To put this gun against my head
The feelings inside me
No longer despair
But full of joy
And the love of my life
Do you feel it too?
This wonderful Sickness
I will never stop
The beating of my heart
You filled the gap
Eating me alive 'til I nearly snapped
You came along just in time
To stop the awful end
This love, this hope
The pain was too much
I tried to cut it away
Bleed it out
What would I do without you now?
I'm glad we met
Your gentle eyes
My big heart
What more could a girl want?

I don't care what you say
I don't care what you think
I don't care if you cry
Didn't I tell you
That to me
you don't matter?

I don't want to stay
I don't want to go
I don't want to be burning
I don't want to be drowning
Falling back down to my knees
Begging to stand up

I'm sick, sick, sick
Dying inside, suffocating
Under the chains
Hiding in your veins

When did I say I didn't care?
'Cause I was lying then
Only hoping I could know
Something other than black

You are the chains
You hold the keys
And I'm caged
Falling back down to my knees
Begging to stand up

I don't care anymore
