ShardsThe dream shatters around me like a broken mirror.
Pieces of you surround me, but nothing seems to be clear.

I'm still cleaning up the mess you made.
You should have put down your fear,
You could have stayed.
I'm done chasing.
I've stopped running.
Have you even noticed that I'm walking the other way?

I'm cut by the shards of what's left of who you were.
Red tears stain the surface while the world is in a blur.

OvercomeOvercome

I do this...well...when it is needed.
I haven't written in so long
Yet tonight it is needed
For my emotions have been drawn
Like a fountain they pour
All that is inside of me
Silent words never spoken
The tears that are never seen

I am not sure if it will help
I am not sure of much at all
To many emotions
I wish it would stop
I want it all to go away
I wish I truly had wings
Maybe then I would be free
Maybe finding peace and serenity
Yet that is a childish thought
For the world we live in
It will always be a dream...

The Way

It's the way you grabbed me,
the way you whispered in my ear,
the names you called me,
before you lost it.

It's the way you tore my shirt,
the way you hit me,
the force you used,
before you went lower.

It's how many people pinned me,
the way you kissed me neck,
the way you thought you did no wrong,
before I screamed with all my might.

It's the way you yelled at me,
the way you told me to shut up,
the way you helped hold me down,
before you reached down my pants.

It's the way I felt pinned beneath you,
the way I wiggled just to be free,
the way I screamed all over again,
before you panicked and ran away.

It's the way I kept

Take My Hand"Take My Hand"

Please take my hand
And look me in the eyes
Make me understand
That I wasn't born to die
Don't say those last words
Please don't say its time
I can not concur
Its not time to say goodbye
I feel broken and alone
On many, many nights
But you make me feel at home
Like the stars in the sky
I've watched the world change
I've seen people come and go
Longing to stay the same
But this is never so
Just when things are stable
And at least one step I can take
That's when the cables
Yet again always break
So don't make me sad
Let's run away and hide
And no matter how bad
Together we can cry
Don't bring me down

We Are/You Aren'tWe are the unwanted, the broken
The ones you forgot about.
So don't be too surprised when we
Start to scream and shout.

We are the living, the dying
The ones you all put down.
But you'll know who we are when we
Run this goddamn town.

We are the corpses, the maggots
The ones you all despise.
But you'll be the ones scared when we
Expose all your lies.

We are the hunted, the lost
The ones you all spurn.
But you'll cry for our help when we
Leave you all to burn.

We are the losers, the winners
The ones that you deny.
But you'll be the ones damned when we
Hear the angels cry.

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

Life Is An Intravenous DripLife is an intravenous drip
With no transfusion of blood
Instead it slowly relieves me
Of a mind that once was good

Administering paranoia
Directly from the drip chamber
Suffocating me with terror
When there is no imminent danger

Life is an intravenous drip
I am fascinated by my veins
And curious as to which one
Carries the blood to my brain

Which causes the unwanted impulse
For me to question every answer
Tourniquet that varicose vessel
Curiosity is my cancer

Life is an intravenous drip
Of that I am A positive
My blood remains optimistic
So why am I so negative

I see no saline solution
Just diminishing vital signs
As my sanity transfuse

You're My PoisonI'm dying
The pain seeps through
Clutching at my heart
Ripping it to shreds,
You merely watch
Pretending you're not the cuase
Seeing me die slowly
Every time you leave me,
But you return
As you always do
Slowly sucking the poison out
That you yourself placed
And i begin to forget,
Just for a moment,
And fall back into love with you again.
And with every kiss
Every time we fuck
Every second i spend loving you,
I feel the poison
Seeping back into my heart
And with everytime you leave me
i begin to die again
While you pretend not to see.
You're the poison and the antitode
My killer and saviour
The reason i want to live
While i slit my wrists,
Y

Nothing Like That MomentWhen with one hand
We hold each other's head
And with the other
We pull each other close
When our soft lips lock
Under passionately closed eyes
We embrace

It's that moment
That the world doesn't matter
Our worries, nonexistent
And all there is
is each other.

GhostThe dream shatters around me
Like a broken mirror.

Looking at the wreckage,
My reflection unrecognizable.

A broken image.
A broken heart.

I'm cut by the shards
As I try to piece it back together.

My blood sprinkles the surface
Like a red rain.

The mirror is whole again.
What's left of the dream.

I look at my reflection,
And tears finally begin to fall.

Can't Be SavedI tried to save myself
But I'm as hopeless as before
So, I uncap the bottle;
Swallow the pills and fall to the floor

I'm laughing on the way down
Smiling as my head hits the ground
Because what's lost, as they say,
Can never be found

So my soul travels the universe
On a barren alienated path
Death played a joke,
But I had the last laugh

I didn't go to Heaven
And I didn't go to Hell
I've been caught in between
Since the moment that I fell

When you see my corpse
Will you die to?
Will you go the grave
Knowing that my reason was you?

Did you realize that
You were in my last thoughts?
That trying not to love you
Was the last battle I ever fou

give me my shadow, put on my crown.i.
I knew you well enough
to know your birthday
and middle name
[even the shampoo you wore
on my pillow that really needs to be cleaned anways.]

Your bow-arms and thin shoulders;
pretences always daring me to
look away.

A symphony of laughing bones;
a thousand "what if's"
without their "nevers"
and a silly pet name that gave you blond hair.

ii.

What could you ever know
about those little secrets
and apples in your eyes?

Nothing.
Nothing.

No mirrors;
until you sat with your hands
grabbing cold-shell ears--
over and over and over
until you believed

That if I did--I would remember
because it didn't happen of course;
no never, never.

N

Calm Before the StormKeep your ears open.
Keep your eyes peeled.
Do you see the stampede
penetrating the field?

It's coming for you
and for all you hold dear.
But just look through its walls-
Do you not see fear?

I hear the wind howl.
It rustles the leaves.
It sways the brittle branches
on the half-barren trees.

The enemy is coming forward.
I'm afraid it can see
my future, my whole life,
and all that's inside of me.

Just light a match
if the power goes out.
You will survive this,
I haven't a doubt.

I wish you good luck,
for I must leave now.
I swear I'll return,
I solemnly vow.

The night is all black.
the lights have gone dead.
I'm lighting a match..
See?

Dread to DareThere she cowers, in the cold heart of blackness,
Scratching claws, stupidity, on iron bars,
Despair only driving her to madness;
Her mind in torment, reminding ageless scars.

Pacing back and forth in her confinement,
She laments like an animal, trapped forever;
Tears grace her cheeks with bitterness not refinement;
She plotted her escape but they screamed, No never!

She’s done this to herself resignation no other
She’s signed up for torment, she’s signed up for hell!
Wandering from one restricting corner to another
Ragged, torn, and crawling filth; they swear, don’t tell.

Her ashen cheeks all sunken and hollow

you make me write bad poetryi made you up
from pillows and comforters
and anything that stuck
its tongue out from
my drawers

and slept in

next year i will shy away
like a child
when you touch me--
which
if you know me
(and you probably do)
seems very in-character
anyways--

but it's not like what
happened in the bookstore when
you
put your teeth against my ear
and everything felt
like it did last week
in the treehouse
except
backwards

it all seems so out of
context
like i am a little girl again
playing house
and pretending i know what those
funny words that taste
like soap and dirt
mean
and what we are

Used To BeWatching you do what you love
I'm reminded of all the reasons
I fell in love with you in the first place

Seeing you like this now
Kills me
On the outside you seem fine
Underneath it all I know there is chaos

I want so badly to help you
But I know nothing I do will made a difference
It won't make you truly love me
Like I do you

My only desire is to hold you in my arms
Say that everything is going to be alright
And know that it actually will be

I catch a glimpse of the person you were
On that stage
Your eyes meet mine in the audience
You smile

I now have our friendship
That will have to be enough
It's far better than nothi

The Words I'll Never HearI catch the disappointed glare
From across the room
I know it all too well
I've let you down again

Sick to my stomach
Turning away from your devouring eyes
I close mine and remember a time I was
Actually good enough for you

One of my witty comments
Made you laugh
Your green eyes light up
And I fall in love all over again

These days, my heart has grown cold
That spark in those green eyes is gone
Things aren't what they appear to be
I miss having your arms around me

Just once
I want to be good enough for you
For you to love me like you used to
I never stopped
Loving you

I'll always long for
Those three words I'll never he

Anger's GraspThe feeling I have raging in my chest
Is the equivalent to being shot
I start to shake uncontrollably
As shock turns into a fierce pain

One of the only emotions I still have the ability to experience
Is anger
Occasionally, I get a slight grasp on happiness
But, it eventually fades to nothing

I reminisce on the feel of his skin
Electric against mine
Never in my life had I felt so comfortable
So loved
I remember not wanting to sleep
Life was better than my dreams

Reality's harsh grasp gets a hold of me
And brings me back to the real world
I know I will be happy again
No telling when it will hit me
Here's hoping

Slipping in b

Destination DestructionWhy didn't I see this coming?
My heart destroyed again
No friendship will result from these ashes
Nothing will survive here

After I finally recover from one disaster
Another comes storming down
Thoughts of self destruction form in my mind
I'm not meant to be loved

The endless nights of crying
So recently ceased
Resume their normal pattern
Everything I had bottled up is released

It's my fault, of course
Always is
I kept my true feelings hidden
And now it's too late

Can't undo the past
Have to keep moving forward
Without emotion or feeling
That's my only option

Deafening SilenceI'm alone in a crowded room
I catch your stare
It's not safe to assume
You still care

The silence is deafening
I'm screaming at the top of my lungs
But no one can hear me
Am I the only one that sees what's going on here?

Crashing into this nightmare
Running, but getting nowhere
How much weight must I bare?
Until I can finally breathe the air
Are you still with me?
I want you to end up happy
Will you be there
When I finally wake up...

I reminisce on days gone by
I remember that look in your eyes
The feel of your hand lingers in mine
Oh, how time flies

On my way back to reality
I catch a smile from you to me
Feeling my hea

If I RunI am not easy to hold on to
The fear of getting hurt
Or the feeling of being trapped
Are cause for me to run

There are very few times where I did not disappear right away
They were the best decisions I have ever made
Those times have passed
And the desire for that kind of affection
Is like a hunger I have never known

The fear of letting down the walls
That took so long to put up
Is enough for me to convince myself
I am happy alone

I have yet to find the person
That I consider "my other half"
I pray with all my heart
That he is out there

And that I have the strength
To let him in

If I am worth it
Convince me

If I run

Infinite

Literature / Poetry / Emotional / Free Verse

When you take my hand,
my breath goes with it.

You're like a book that's too suspenseful to put down.
You keep me wanting to turn the pages to watch the story unfold.

The surprises seem infinite.
With each detail I learn,
I become even more thankful that you came into my life.

Like a song on repeat for hours,
I never tire of seeing your smile or hearing your voice.

With you,
the adventures are endless.
You never cease to amaze me.

Each day that passes,
I fall a little more.
And I know you're there to catch me
before I hit the floor.
