First

I've always tried to put others first.Not because I necessarily thought it was right,But it made me happy to see others happy.By showing the world how beautiful it was,I felt a sense of completion.But getting pushed around and made to feel imperfect Showed me the true, painfully dark world.Perh..

A Child

I never asked to be watched over,Protected by someone who clearly has better things to do.I never wanted to be treated like a childWho needs constant discipline and lessons.Stop pretending to care if I'm alive,I already know I don't matter.So easy is the thought.Why am I even here anymore?I honestly..

Broken Glass

Sometimes, I see the world through blood red eyes.A constant pain and bitter loneliness; it's evergreen,And I struggle to ask for what I need.Trust doesn't come to me easily.Now, it feels even farther out of my reach.Asking to lean on someone seems impossible, unfathomable.Wanting to cry kills me.. ..

Foundation

Words cannot always express feelings,But they can get pretty close.I can't describe this feeling. But I can get pretty close.You became my foundationIn a world I found shaky.And just as I thought I was falling through the cracksYou threw a net.I know I'm not always pleasant,But..

Please

Stepping outside to a field full of rain.I am here, reborn, a fresh face.With that, I am forgetting your touch.Call it passionless care,But I can't do this anymore.I can't hate myself for you.There's a certain give-and-takeBehind friendship and love,I hope you see what I've found, someday.I will alw..

I'll Be Gone

Giving up, giving out,When'd you become so absurd?Looking back and about,Doing things so unheard.I don't know you now,Fiery passion is gone.I can't believe what you've allowed,Of you I was so fond.You had so much passion, Always viewing the light.When did you lose all your rationAnd solve every..

Insecure

You're beautiful with insecurities,Carried on in a world that only thought to bring you down.Would you let me under your cover?Would you let me protect you, just once?Behind the show you're uncovered,Nothing matters more to me Then climbing over this wall you've place in front of me.I accept th..

Desperation

In the face of my passed willI see my old moments of desperation, Unaltered as they always were,Destined to always stray behind me.When will this controlling mindsetLeave my already bitter soul, Tainted with anger and scorn for anyone who approaches.Why does such a tragedy have to be ..

Faceless

There’ssomething quite unique about walking through a crowd- be it outside, in abuilding, in a mob- and not know whether or not there is someone in that crowdthat you have fallen madly in love with. I live that; every day I live that.It’s both the most exciting and the most h..

Fly With Me

Sparks begin to fly as marble stone crushes my soul,Please pick up the pieces with care.For even when broken, my shattered spirit feels.Forgive me for past lack of compassion,In my lonely thoughts I was dragged to a dark corner of the world.I was left under my own thunderous fire,Screaming for salva..

Infinite

Within the moonlight I find the deepest of protection.My coverage from this raspy voiced world that in my honor I know too well.The candlelight burns at my bedside,And you're not here to stop me from tipping the flame.I'd stop this beat of heart to hear you say my name.I dream of your return to me; ..

Watch

I've watched how you've been,How you are, and who you were.Not the man I once knew,A mindless nymph with no sense of direction. I wonder, sometimes,The exact moment you stopped caring,The moment I stopped giving a damn.I can’t even call you a..

Tears of the Ocean

Tears of the ocean,Seen but never heard.When did this lessonBecome so hard to learn? Waiting in the water;The cursed salty flow.Feels like it’s a bother,Afraid to stay or go. Icy ocean overcameThe difficulty of the past.But when finding..

Ought Not

Sometimes life seems senseless, Don’t bring up your troubles to me,I have enough to deal with.No ‘give and take’ to be. I’d say don’t let me go,But it seems you already have.Steady your hand like so,I promise it won’t be bad...

Soulless Angel

Soulless angel comes tonight,It's heart grew cold as it's mind grew spite.I challenged it's apparent wisdom in me,Said it could be more than it chose to be.Soulless angel grew mad and left me to die.But feeling no pain, I chose not to cry.The soulless angel chose not to return,Thought by it's leavin..

Answerless

It's those moments you don't understand how you are where you are.It's not being unhappy, simply questionable.You have no regrets; simply ask, "What if?"What if:I'd said it.I'd apologized.I'd fought back.I'd loved more.I'd studied harder.I could hate.I'd known.I'd cared.

I'd Say

I've really gotten into smoking, lately.I'd say I'd mind that it's bad for my health, but who Am I kidding? I won't be around that long.I'd tell you that I love you, butSeriously? When did you deserve to hear me say it?I'd tell you that you're perfect, butHonestly- you're not..Though you m..

A Better Chance

It's in the darkest corners that I find my angry, repressed thoughts of you, again restored.Always wanting you to think I'm a step ahead,But truly three or four behind.Present yourself, but one last time.I need closure again.Because I kept my mouth shut the first time,In a hopeless plea for silent r..

Recollection

It was then that I found myself alone. As if a deep greycloud had made its way over me, through me. I can’t say I felt sad or what weknow as being alone and dysfunctional, but something in me felt a type ofemptiness. I simply felt void.Surrounded by people who claim to love me, I too..

Wherever You Are

You always said you would be here when I needed you.I'm telling you now, Sunshine, I do!I'm sure you find this tedious of me,"Damn girl with no respect or self worth."You'll probably tell me to make my mind up, To stop wasting your time. But tell me, am I?If so please say so, I'll stop ask..

My Dear

I know the past is easy to forget,But I implore you to recall it, recall me.I'm lost again, dear, the star dust has separated;Bits and pieces surround the globe, I don't know where to go.I need that guidance I so greedily took for granted. I went to the creek again, dear, It..

Running

Running away as fast as she can,Running far from the evil land.The cults and groups that chase her now,No planned escape, time to wonder howShe'll make her way through the heavy place.There's no one to trust, no end to the race.As quickly as possible she runs away, She'll fight predators off an..

Never Have To Know

Here she stands,An image cased in glass.We 'protect' her from a world of hateThat we don't think she knows of.She's seen the violence among the streets,The pain in her mother's tears.She knows so well of the world beyondHer four brick walls, maybe better.Within the night she lives the lifeDaddy's li..

Story

Done with the ideals,Ideals of being you.I know now I am myself;I accept that.Sick of fantasies, Having the life you dread.How could I find happinessIn a life you dread?"Straight from a story book", She says I am.A fairy tale.. In modern day setting.Life is what it is, Ill fit cr..

Fallacy

Spiteful minds and ill rid thoughts,Tattered petals burning.Screaming out from the pain you wrought,It’s been a cold, cold journey.. I tried to quit this time,But pain hurt me deep.I left it all in its primeBut the memory still seeps. Moving ou..

Questo Prego

Solo una volta di più che percorro oggi,Accetto questo fatto senza indugio.Ma ti prego mentire a me non più,Lasciatemi essere nella mia miseria, se si vuole,Ma lasciamo in onestà,Mi lasciano qualcosa di fiducia.Questo chiedo.

The Witches Brew (In English)

Come my child, wicked and divine,Let me see grass burning through your eyes.Now my flower, Use your power,To distinguish them all!

The Witches Brew

Come mio figlio, malvagio e divino,Fammi vedere bruciare l'erba attraverso i tuoi occhi.Ora il mio fiore,Usa il tuo potere,Per distinguere tutti!

Flying Flowers

I stared into the grand mirror before me; once again it wastime for me to lie to myself about everything I knew. I was in a long purplegown, my hair fell to my waist, and I’d matured quite some since the last timeI observed myself so precisely. The only thing I could recall was those eye..

Poor Girl

The poor child saw it coming,As the dawn of death came humming. Someone had to pay.The time of dawn is spent,And when Death came to collect,The young girl payed the price.The young get no sayAs the old say day by day,"Experience comes with age."The dawn did not forgetThat this child let He..

Candles and Glass

Burning desire,Passion of fire.Consume the water now.Lightning and thunder,Repressing beat under.Shake the earth down.Winds and flight,Now take sightTo the world which you live.Stars and night,Feel the frightOf the child in the dark.Day and sun,Burns and run,And again you face the dim.Pink and set,N..

Ice

Just a little story I came up with. Please note that the font colors are symbolic.

1000 Words

Pictures tell 1000 words each,My 1000 pictures only tell me one:Love.I can't add to my piles of undeveloped film,Not from where you are;Too far for my camera's zoom.Now I write as a distraction from the tender pains of miss;My medicine for ignorance that I wish was overdosed.But that'd be too fast, ..

Didn't, Couldn't, Never

I didn't see you at my grave,Your tears falling on the fresh dirt.I never noticed you missing me, Since you were distracted in my depression.I couldn't watch you drive away,When distance became our problem.I never thought I'd be alone againWhen you first came into my life.I didn't think you'd b..

Beautiful Music

Press the keys across the board,Together we made beautiful music.But now I've been left, a soloist once more,The rush in my mind has slowed,The idea's weakened.Yet still in my head I hear you playBeautiful music, our duet.

Tragedy in Paradise

My tragedy in paradise.My reason to live, My reason to die.There is no way to justifyMy tragedy in paradise. You know the way of wine and classAll the ‘proper’ ways to act.All forms of behavior down by fact.You know this ‘correct’ way of lifeMy traged..

Reason to Die

Do you hear her screaming in the room next to yours? Did you run in and help her when you knew she needed you? She yelled and cried from her pain and depression, and look what you did. You closed your eyes and said, “I’ll check on her tomorrow, it’s late, she’ll be fine..

It Hurts

It sometimes hurts to know you,What makes you tick and smile.Sometimes it hurts to look in your eyes and knowI’m not being completely honest. Sometimes it breaks my heart to feel as though I’m hiding,To know I’m doing it to avoid judgment.And worse of all, I&rsqu..

A Change In Me

It was an ordinary day. I never thought one simple word could do so much to a person, could do so much to Ivan; never to Ivan. He was sitting next to me when the class let out and the day was over. We were going to walk together, go play video games and make fun of news reporters like we do every ..

Don't Wanna

I don't wanna be the only one to fight,But I'll use the sword if need be.I don't wanna have the first goodbye,But if someone has to I guess it'll be me.I don't wanna be the one who has to die,But in the end, I know I will. I don't wanna be the first one to cry,But I am the only ..

I Realized You Were Gone

I realized you were gone when I came home to not find you on the couch.I realized you were gone when I yelled your name and heard no response.I realized you were gone when there was no one to argue with.I realized you were gone when everyone took me seriously.I realized you were gone when ..

Castle In The Sky

The time is now come,So listen to the beat of the drum.I wanna sing, not hum,I love that we’re not where I’m from. Baby take me way up highTo that castle in the sky,Where together we will flyAnd I’ll no longer cry. Oh darling I see the shore,The sp..

Remember Always, Remember Forever

Alas, it has come to an end,Leaving this life, let me mend.Waving my hand for that taxi car,A point of 'no more', I've reached my bar.You were always there, but now you are not,So I'm breaking now, I've already fought. And so I say goodbye to you.Nothing further.Damnation fore..

I Miss

I miss those nights of late night chatting.The nights when you'd have to force me to sleep.The nights before I knew exhaustion. I miss the days I always recieved little notes.Some form of a poem, if you will.The days before I had to ask. I miss the times goodmorning wa..

Even Now

I see you, even now.For in my darkest hourYou are bright,And brilliant.For in my lowest lightI can remain to see you,Always.For in the depths of my heartI know you give a damn. I feel you, even now.For in my lonely momentsI know you think of meSincerely and truely.Fo..

The Rose

Reminded

I guess for a split second I forgot:-You're not mine.-You don't care.-You're cruel and heartless.-You play with souls and lie.-Your intentions are sick.-You're only 'in it' for the physicality.-You're torturous.-You won't protect me.-You've betrayed me.-You broke my heart.So ..

Not Really

Venting, I wish people could catch on to the horrible hints some leave. Those simple cries for help are always ignored until it's too late..

Hopeful Wishing

Walking down a one street path,Reaching to touch a face I know.I'm taking my time, but it feels so fast.All of them just seem to go.. People slipping through my hands,Now I realize, they don't know me.They left particle by piece, grains like sand.I was screaming to people I..

Not You

I found what I've been looking forAnd I don't know what to do.I keep falling for him moreBut hell, he's no you. I use to cry myself to sleep,I thrashed my skin too.He's the one I want to keepBut he still is not you. I'm falling down the tunnel nowI'm feeling very blue..
