I don't want to go around saying hello to strangers
I want to live till I die.
I want to bleed out the pain and memories.
But that is never possible.

It's like we're living in delirium
We're living to die, dying to live.
We're living a lie, a total complete lie.

I don't wanna live a lie
I don't wanna hold back from crying out loud
I don't wanna hold back from screaming at the top of my lungs...

I am lie a total complete lie just like everyone else.
I don't care anymore about what you think
I don't care anymore what happens to me
We're all running out of time
Might as well make every moment count.

Do everything we wanted to do,
make people angry at us, themselves, and everything around them

So let's cause chaos, let us scream like we've never screamed anymore
Let's **** ourselves up, let's not compare how we spend our last moments with each other

Kiss each other like there's no tomorrow
Love each other now and forever
Reject each other like it doesn't even matter
You've spent your moments together in love and grace
Die like there's never going to be pain again

 

Wow, great work guys^^

 

I came to you and back to where I've started
I want to hold my breathe until the moment you leave
I saw it coming closer to me
I told myself to never give in

I walked away, pretending
I wrote a letter without a cause
I want to be free from all the pain

I commited a deadly sin
I imagined a sudden death
I felt a painful thousand arrows
I closed my eyes in fear and sorrow

I whispered in my sleep
"Will it ever end?"
I followed the footsteps of someone so familiar
I am being driven into insanity
"Will you help me find a cure?"

I dreamed a pleasant dream
It all seemed so surreal
I found a happy place
And then night fell
The nightmares began

I screamed out loud about the lies
I threw my fists down on the ground
I'm bleeding inside
I hope you get shot
And then you'll soon be forgotten

____________________________________end of one

On the outside,
I am an ordinary girl with pretty eyes and perfect hair.
I have almost the right words to say,
I am quiet everywhere.

On the inside is where my fears come alive.
I have a dark past, a wandering pair f eyes haunting me wherever I go.
I have no trust.
My worries overcome all.
I have my faults.
I am no longer beautiful.

Wherever I go, whatever I do, it does not matter.
I look to the world and everything seems to be the same.

You can judge me all you want,
criticize me as many times as you would like.

I have built a wall around with crystal clear windows.
They will twinkle like the midnight stars without any purpose.

Break my eyes to know the truth behind my every actions.

But please, will you promise me that nothing else will change?

You Never Gave Me Joy

You were never there,
when I needed you the most

You were never there,
to wipe my tears away

You were never there,
to hold me
to cherish me
to say hello
to say goodbye

You were never there,
to hide me from the evil
to save me from chaos
to whisper 'i love you'

You were never there,
to see me smile
to hear my laughter
to comfort me...when I cried

You told me before,
how much I meant to you, but that was never proven
how much you wanted to be here, but you never came
how you wanted to help me, but you never did

Instead,
you lied to me, not just once but twice, and many times after
you tell me you hated me, and walked away
you screwed me over, like you did countless others
you come back, and tell me everything was a mistake...

Lies filled up my head. Hatred came to being...

I can say now...
I hate you now more than ever.
Because you gave me sorrow instead of joy.

 

I still love you
Of all the things you told me,
The crimson I once knew.
The alabastor skin beneath mine,
It spelled a certain doom.

Of honest nights waiting,
And endless days I spent alone.
I always hoped to love you
Just once before my sins were atoned.

Oh praying never helped me,
and tears were wasted in the end.
Yet honor bound, I kept you,
and in truth, I'd keep you again.

Just say you miss me,
I'll call you home.
Just say you care,
I won't leave you alone.

Just say you still care,
Deep down, you know you do.
Just admit you still love me
As I still love you.

 

I need this
Bare your teeth, and bite me.
Rip me limb from limb.
Hell, I can take it!
This is all on a whim.

Take out your knife.
Slice me, dice me!
Be a man, and fight me!
Don't just let me be.

I need this...
This pain you make me feel.
I need to feel this.
I need to know this is real.

Because everything seems fake.
I can't take no knowing the truth!
I hate this, god I hate this.
What am I to do?

So burn me, bleed me
Show me pain.
This isn't wrong,
Think of it as a gain.

 

True Identity

When I find it,
I'll get back to you
I don't know who I am what I am where I belong
I want to tell you everything I can, but I can't
I gotta keep secrets to myself, everything under covers
Hide the reality from the world, give as little as possible,
but at the same time, give as much as I can
I wanna tell you how I really feel, but I can't,
I gotta hide my feelings
I can't give you everything that I possibly can,
because that's just impossible, a bit too much

I don't want to be enveloped in lies anymore
I don't wanna be the one hurting
So I hope you understand what I'm sayin' because as much as I want to,
I don't wanna be the one telling you everything you want to know

So back off, back out of my life,
give me back what I had before,
I don't wanna deal with **** anymore

I don't care if you have feelings for me, for anyone,
for yourself, if you are envious, happy, or sad,
I just don't care anymore

Been hurt in the past too many times to care,
if I'm selfish, then I am.

I just don't ****ing care.
I'll live in a FANTASY if I have to
But I'm hoping that if I am getting too far into the fantasy world,
someone would save me from drowning

~ My Island ~
My happiness is sunshine breaking up a rainy day,
But those rain clouds just follow me and just won’t go away.
Can time just freeze so I could spend that stillness with you?
This world just won’t leave me alone… I don’t know what to do.
Take me hand and I’ll lead you away from this sad world,
I’ll take you to my island where your mind won’t get so twirled.
Come rest upon the snowy sand under a sky so blue,
I’ll wrap you up inside my heart and you still have no clue.
Just hold me tight and you will find your worries flying free,
I hope we can always stay like this…on my island, just you and me.​

 

Here's another one if you'd like. I hope you love them for I have put so much time, effort, and love into my poems. Thank you.

~ Dream Clouds ~
A sky of night hangs over me as I lay upon the sand,
Stars appear just one by one as I try to grasp them with my hand.
I try to count just every star as they keep twinkling with gleam,
I swear a star just winked at me as I now started to dream.

Inside my big dream cloud, you can see what I can do,
Please come in and don’t be shy, this dream has room for two.
You can fly through galaxies upon a shooting star,
Or dive into the deep blue see even though it’s very far.

Come into my dream cloud, please do not leave me alone,
Please explore my dreamland, for I made it on my own.
If you join me all I ask it to treat everything with care,
For if you don’t you just might change this dream into a nightmare.

So join me and you might see that these dreams are quite a sight,
So come into my dream cloud and dream to your heart’s delight.​

 

A wilted rose

Why is my love so mellow and shallow,
dragging across the years.
Cracked like a desert and dry as a towel
he ignors my continuous tears.

For his wavy gold locks and silvery smile
impress me like no-one else can
But it can be seen for many a mile
this truly isn't my man

For like a rose, his beauty runs deep
but beneath it there are the thorns
So quiet and lost, for days do I weep
for I'm like a bull without horns

Like a peacock, he flashes his features
to anyone willing to gaze
The girls all swarm, like untamable creatures
and I have grown out of this phase

And so I leave him behind with the fans
and look for the true one for me
He doesn't need a board thin span
as long as he makes me happy.

For many years I have searched
and but one i have finally found
His glasses are big, his back is lurched
and great feet are holding his ground

His zits are bigger then whales
His hair is to long for his head
His lips wave like mighty ship sails
And his nostrils are too widely spread

He may not have the looks or brain
but I love him from inside
He doesn't make my heart feel pain
nor make me run and hide.

With thorns you may look but can not touch
one wilted is felt to your power
Like a gardener i feel help the poor plant so much
and grow a blossoming flower

 

Wept For Love and Sorrow

The brook is girt with blossoms bright,
Which look thro' eyes of azure light:
The birds joys the stream to view,
His eyes which are heavenly blue.

And on my lattice he I will lay,
Their petals in the twilight grey.
To whisper low, when slumber deep,
Hath wrapped his little head in sleep.

And when my dear his eyes doth close,
And softly sinks to sweet repose,
Then murmur as a dream might do,
'Forget-me-not,' - oh blossoms blue,

And when at dawn his dreams shall end,
With looks of love above his bend;
The dew within your eyes shall be,
The tears of longing shed by me.

 

Morbid Retrospection

(This one I did like in 5 minutes...)

I slash a 1 on the wall,
Its already too much to handle,
Seconds feel like hours,
And the days last an eternity,
And all because of what was said.

I slash a 2,
Finally...a sigh of relief,
With sweat cascading of my cheek,
Im still hoping the day would end.
I cant stop remembering,
The bliss...
Such happiness...
And now it's all gone.

A 3,
Still not by my side,
I wish I could hold you in my arms,
Even if it was for one last time.
How long will this last?

A 4,
This will last forever...
And once again Im haunted by memories,
Haunted by your face,
Shivering...
Your presence feels like its on my shoulder,
Breathing around my neck,
I grip my heart to prevent it from falling apart.

And I pray for this madness to end...

 

the devils walk

the devils walk down that ally way,
that bloody ally way.
there hands covered in blood and feathers,
the smell of rotting flesh covers heaven.
as god falls from the sky,
angels crie.
they crie being dragged to there new home,
the home that housed the devils.
the home of fire,
the home of death.


how was that. was that good. ive never really written poetry except in school.

 

The Sharpest Rose

That bit of blood cascading off the roses stem,
Reminded me of how hard I had pressed on,
The memories, the hatred, the sadness,
I grasped it all in my hand.

The most beautiful of roses has the sharpest thorn,
For mine had cut through my soul.
Strange...
How your own creation rapidly goes against you.
As if its sole purpose was to destroy the creator.

Waking up from the same dream over and over,
I cant help but reminesce,
The way I pressed on.
Not caring about my own destruction.

Why?
Maybe I wanted to be born again.
Maybe I wanted to see again.
I closed my eyes,
But the image stood there in my mind.

The most beautiful of roses has the sharpest thorn,
For mine had cut through my soul.
Strange...
How your own creation rapidly goes against you.
As if its sole purpose was to destroy the creator.

 

Satisfaction

My wounds have again been healed
Scars will forever remain
Broken hearts faded away
Silence will forever stay
Love will be revealed once more
Tears of sadness reflect the past
The undying love will forever last

Satisfaction lies ahead
Out of reach, within my grasp
Gazing at the pregnant moon
My dreams will never be fulfilled
Agony will forever dwell
Death roosts high above me
The strenuous breathing pauses after every heartbeat

Determination lags behind
Romantic goals fall in arrears
We fall back in fear
The nightmares begin to arise
Paralysis boils up inside

 

My Resting Place
I Lay Asleep Inside My Dark Resting Place
I Cannot Feel Anymore Pain
But I'm Inclosed In This Place
The Dirt Is Blocked My Ears So I Can't Hear You Cry
The Rocks Have Kept Me Here In This Lonely Place
Where My Body Does Lie
The Blood On My Hands Prevent Me From Touching Your Face
You Cannot Kiss Or Touch Me
Because The Wounds I Put In My Body Have Left Me In My Resting Place

 

She's just...
They say the blues is a woman.
I've seen her, she's just a girl.
She's got a libido, and a secondhand stationwagon,
A waist you want to wrap your arms around
And a tattoo under her hip of her favorite flower.
She smokes unfiltered cigarettes.
She used to ride the uptown train before her dad bought her that stationwagon.
They say the blues is a woman.
I've seen her, she's just a girl.
In borrowed heels and vintage velvet, she shines on stage.
She dances in a faux cabaret on main street.
And sex, it seems she has a taste for it.
They say the blues is a woman.
She says she's just a song in the night.
She says she's just a mood for the lonely.
She says she's just a girl.

 

Glitch
There's a glitch in the system
A flaw noone can spot.
A virus running amok
That seemingly noone can stop.

There's a glitch in our system.
We just can't connect.
This seems like a good time to reboot,
Or maybe just disconnect.

There's a glitch in my system.
A bug that's screwing me up.
Maybe if you take a look at it,
Work it just enough...

I can be fixed.
We can be fixed.
This can be fixed.

Yet, in truth, nothing will change.

 

They say that eyes are windows
the gates to a person's soul
but you're very mistaken
if it's my soul you want to hold

I've been through too many things in the past
and I've been emotionally tortured, at last
my freedom has come
and yet........I have none.

I cry in the night
For reasons I can't understand or explain
Maybe I'm still remembering the pain
The hurt, the lies, that awful glare
No way I am normal, they all just stare
at me, the broken one
the one who has seen too much,
the one who is cold to the touch,
the one who has troubling being glad,
the one who has always been sad,
the one who opened her own eyes,
the one who knows no truth.....is inside.

 

Dead But Still Breathing

Debris clogs my lungs,
Even though I don't have a reason to breathe,
As you see
Dying amethyst can lose its shade,

But you still cant comprehend or
Understand that illusions were meant to decieve,
The way gemstones are actually coal.....

Staying out in the rain too long
Tends to make you rust
Itll then turn you to dust
Like all things that are suppose to end,
Like the truth easily causes you to break so just...

Bend and try to hold on,
Release all the hate,
Even though you will have scars or
A wound that may not stop bleeding,
Till you are sucked dry,
Hell is on its way it seems,
It feels like its closing in,
Nothing but a broken heart it will take,
Great...cause Im dead but still breathing.
