You’d be surprised to know I still look at your picture saved in the vaults of my phone. The one where we smiled and the room was vibrant, and the lights were red and blue, and the world seemed like a different place.
I ain’t your April fool
Not your plaything anymore
Wrapped my heart with steel and wool
Sent you stomping out my door
Cause I ain’t your April fool
I’ve got thunder in my soul
Why don't you love me
You could at least pretend
Please call me
Please
Just tell me that you liked me too
Bemused in dreams of this heart.
Where pain never lasts and tears are few and far apart.
It remains a fucking cold world out there.
Especially when your solo and the wind continue to blow, piercing you down to your soul.
I don't know how
to close this chapter
Where I live through
The night
Hold me one more time
Whisper those pretty lies
Tell me I'll be fine
But I won't deny
The reaper is coming tonight
This feeling
I haven't had in a while
Heartbreak fake smiles
For every pretty girl
That wants to be mine
I don't wanna lie
Can't give them all my time
to busy writing rhymes
I wish there was a collection of words I could say to you. A phrase to stop the clock from ticking in the dark. To bring back the lights if just for a moment. Cast away the darkness so that I may see your face, one more time.
she was a light
he trapped her in a box
she was laughter
he stole her joy
she was a graceful dance
he stole her footing
she was a leap of faith
he let her fall
she was truly alive
it's been a year
a whole damn year
and here i am
sitting across a gym
full of people
and all i see, is you
your obnoxious smile
your loud voice
and your annoying friends
it's been a year
a whole damn year
and here i am
sitting across a gym
full of people
and all i see, is you
your obnoxious smile
your loud voice
and your annoying friends
please don't let me go
i whispered to you
in the dark of your room
you gripped me tight
and promised
but how can you
make that promise
when you don't know
what the future holds
when you saw me
and whispered hello
did it cross your mind
that you'd break my heart?
you've seen the darkest of me
and the most vulnerable pieces of me
you've held me in the night
and kissed me in the morning
you loved me when i couldn't love myself
and now
you're a stranger
When everything breaks
Everything shatters
My heart in pieces
Scattered
And all the world
So beautiful,
Yesterday
My heart broke like a fallen tree succumbed to the wind that is you,
Long has life passed me by I watch as days turn to months and years,
I don’t want to love no more
Everyone playing games
Everywhere I go I see the same soul in different bodies…
Different faces…
I’m sorry.
I'm sorry I constantly want to talk to you.
I’m sorry when you take long to reply, I get sad.
I’m sorry if I say things that might piss you off.
I’m sorry if I come off as annoying.
all I can see is flashes in my head ,
Memories back when we were together
The world was so different.. for the first time,
We were just living for the hell of it,
Nothing to regret at all..
I'm sorry for blaming you
For everything I just couldn't do
And I hate myself by hurting you
Feeling this hurt embrace me so beautiful
I'm sorry for blaming you
For everything I just couldn't do
I don't know how to describe whats in my head.
All I know is that you are the one who has made it be lead.
I love you, I really do.
Therefore I can't seem to tell you.
Now I'm looking like a fool.
He was strong because he was forged in pain
Today he ruled because he never stopped when it rained
Even though it hurt,he was still holding on
Waiting for a day when all that suffering will be gone
the rain pounded heavily last night
drops of water ran slowly down the car windows
matching the silver trails of the tears that wound down my cheeks
rough hands that weren't yours stroked my skin
When I was left heartbroken and lost people began to tell me that the best way to move on was to get under someone else. I thought giving my body to someone else meant I was moving on from you.
I asked you why and started to cry
you were my security blanket
you were supposed to make me and my heart feel
Secure
I say please don’t let it be another girl
You are vague.
I have doubts every timeYou know I doBut I can’t stop falling into the void that is youAnd even if I am absolutely sure that my poor heartWill break, each and every timeI would still choose you, again and again
Because I Love You, my heart skips a beat
When we were together, I felt complete.
This strange new feeling that took over me,
It made me blossom like a cherry tree
Now that you’re gone, its left me lost.
Because I love you, it feels like it was only yesterday,
You looked into my eyes and I told you to stay.
Because I love you I’d get nervous around you,
I didn’t know what to say or what to do.
There’s always a key.
A key to one’s mind
A key to one’s heart.
A key to one’s soul.
Locked away for same keepings,
But thieves still slither this earth.
Skilled thieves pick locks
thoughts that kill thoughts of being not worthy
voices saying “no love will ever come”
trying to not give in
the voices sometimes stop
give the heart a break
before it breaks even more
How you must know my pain.
For you never care to say a word to me as many days at a time as I see you.
And how you must know the truth that lies behind these eyes.
I don't know what to do anymore
I don't know who to talk to anymore
I don't know how to love anymore
I don't know how to live anymore....because you're gone.
I should never have trusted a smile so beautiful
It couldn't have been for sport
that it lured me in and made me love
to have spit me out in chewed up broken crumbs
The pieces are marred & unrecocgnizable
You’re focused on the music
I’m focused on my happiness
The two could co-exist
But for some reason you’re not having it
And I keep coming back again
This is Just to Say
I have broken
your heart
into a
million pieces,
You had probably
not expected
this pain
Forgive me,
You were great
but you broke
I remember the first time that I ever met you
I remember hating you, fearing your soul
Like an animal who could feel
The danger lying up ahead
And of course my instincts were right,
Of who you would become
All my life I have hid behind a smile
I laugh and smirk and smile when on the inside I am slowly dying
I look back on my life and feel nothing, but regret
Without you days drag on without any meaning
without you the bleak existence that I once used to cherish is now waisted wondering why
why me
why was I not good enough
and why did it all have to end
I stare into her eyes and they tell me all I need to know
but I ask anyways
Why do you push me away?
Why do I feel the way I do when I hold you?
Broken.
I am broken.
I am hurting.
A shattered glass because of a love that didn't last.
Sweet memories gone sour with the taste of a ripe lemon.
I saw you
Cowboy hat
Wrangler jeans
Boots and spurs
Button up shirt
Dark hair
Light eyes
yeah you bet I saw you
I held my breath
Closed my eyes
And tried so hard
The Monster locked inside this mirror is full of deception,
Deceived by a world full of hate and conception.
No where to turn to get a gasp of air,
There are no self righteous that are godly or fair.
We sit together again
'My parents are
Fighting'
I'm being pulled apart
Like a string in
Tug-of war
Offer me your sympathy
Take a little piece of me
Joke with me again
I looked into her eyes and she said the words that I knew were coming
they were the dreaded words that no person in love should have to endure but every man must
"I think we need to take a break"
She stares at you, with hate in her eyes.
You stare at her, with dreams for the future.
She talks down to you, giving orders that you willingly and knowingly obey.
She laughs at your pain and feeds off your sorrow.
I remember watching him sleep,
his eyes fleeting back and forth under their lids.
I remember him drawing long breaths,
and his heartbeat wavering in his chest.
I hope I forget your eyes
And that I couldn't look way.
I hope I forget your smile
Because it makes me wish you'd stay.
I hope I never call you
When its late and I can't sleep.
I see the light now
I don't want to fight
This is all I have
And you broke my heart in half
This is not right at all
You made me feel so small.
If you believe what you feel is right,
then I'll leave you be.
I'll never blame you
For not picking me.
But's if that's what you want,
A broken heart is like a dead computer
You can charge it and re-use it as
many times as you want to
But in the end, its just a dead as the battery is in the
DEAD COMPUTER
I believe that I am a damaged girl. A girl who wanted others to be happy but herself.
I am like a hidden book. I was ready to be read, but dusted on the shelf.
I am the rusted pennies who wanted to be held and known as wealth,
You tell me, "It's ok, it'll all be over soon."
And in a way,
you were right.
It was over.
My sense of direction and morality.
The knowledge that what I fought for was freedom.
The secret signs you imagined
The signals you gave back
The special smile you thought was solely for you
The feelings you thought were there but it turns out lacked
The way you felt when talking to them
What? I thought I was the only one
I guess I was wrong
I should of known all we had and even a love song...
Didnt matter to you or him,
Just children were we when we first met
Prancing about one another without a care.
Though oft not we would see the another
Each time was as if the previous game had not been left.
My funeral was empty, my gravestone was bare
The flowers that were meant for my mourning, were never there
You may never know, why I am the way I am
or why I am so quiet at times, or maybe why I get angry so sudden
and you may never know why I am so rude
You are the sunshine
i am the rain
i just wanted You to be mine
but You were avoiding pain
If you can't read the photo it goes-
Here I sit in this rut once more,
waiting, longing.
I wish I could stop but it only goes just,
beat, beat, beat.
And the raging thump continues just
It's the pain that she feels.It’s the screams that she feels.It's the ache in her brain.It’s the hate in her veins.It's the hurt that she feels.It’s the fear that she has gained.
Momma said there would be days like this but she didn't quite explain how it would be she didn't explain that my heart would pour out onto the concrete..
I cannot let me feel
To feel is to hurt
Hope turns black with each shedding tears
What once felt excitement is only filled with dread
I cannot escape this prison
I made for myself
I loved you!
I finally let down my walls and let somebody in..
But that didnt matter to you,
I was just another girl that you could add to the list.
You fed me all the right lies
forgive me,
forgive me for being who i am,
forgive me for crying more than needed,
but it hurts so hard when you want something so bad but you can’t reach it,
Does love only happen to the lucky ones,
or is it instead the tricks of the world that conspire within.
The 12-Year-old poet collapsed
He was weak
He couldn’t see
Tears impaired his vision
It stung to blink
And hurt to feel
He couldn’t speak
She used to be the sweetest girl ever, but her life became stuck in a sour chapter.
She cries as she lies wide awake at night.
Trying to keep her mind from losing this fight.
Even though you were my whole garden, I was merely a rose in yours
At first, I thought flowers were beautiful
I prick my finger on a single thorn,
And watch the blood fall to the floor,
Eyes... The color of forget-me-not blue
my heart is staying pure and true.
Through days of darker light...
Here I am,sitting in this abandoned house and
all I can hear over the sound of that stupid fucking clock…
tick tock tick tock…
is the sound of your voicein between hitched breaths
saying my name.
Why am I still stuck on you?
After all the crap you put me through
It wasn't a physical pain
That left me black and blue
That day it was warm
It was humid
It had rained
It had been special
That day I had realized something
I had realized nothing
I knew already
Still, it surged through my entire body
I thought what we had
was love
i thought you were my hero
my angel sent from above
i thought I'd have your heart
I waited and hoped someday you'd come aroundThe silence breaking us apart proceeds without a soundAny place besides this one is fine with meWhy can't we go back to how we used to be?The highway is so long
Brown like a beautiful book of stories. Everything you told me. In this life I thought I would believe. A romance, a sparkle and a diamond ring. For that moment we were together. I thought that you would be.
The first time I heard it I was in 8th grade The next in 9th The next in 10th And now every time I hear it I close my eyes and I scream because should love be such a game?
How can you love me?
When I hurt you so bad?
How can you see me and think, "He's the one?"
I know I deserve to be left a lone
To be throw to hyenas like traitors should be,
How can you love me?
All I can think about
Is the pain you're putting me through
All I can think about
Are the reasons I can't have you
Cause you're the reason that
I feel so dead inside
When you turned and walked away
To confess to the truth will break your heart along with mine but it's time for me to unwind, let you see me for what you think i am, for what you
Her hair frames her face in tarnished-golden wringlets
barely going past her shoulders
her face, long, glowing with elegance and grace
her eyes, an aqua blue so light in tint
Love is something you feel,There should never be an doubt about love.You either feel it,Or you do not.Just do not lie to me about it.
Maybe we were both so caught up in the illusion of being together that after it happened we just gave up.
All the love stories we heard about the happily ever afters, expecting our story to be the same.
Always and forever,
Do stiches work on a broken-heart
The days feel so long now that we’re apart
You wanted to leave so I let you go
Now sadness is all that stalks my window
Sitting in a room full of people but nobody can hear your scream.
Walking down the halls alone as if you were in a horrible dream.
My love ink spilled onto this page.
It smeared across this paper,
this medium of which I pour my rage.
My heart so full of love and lust,
has been stoned by my work of art,
I feel like the sky is falling on the eve of this, and I'm bawling,
Anticipating your words and the slaughter of my heart once more.
But from this I know I'll never truly rise again, how can I ever rise again?
All good things must come to an end
Relationships never last for me
They start
they're great
I over think it
I end it
I'm heart broken
Why must I end all the good things?
I wrote on your heart,
wrote on your songs,
wrote out my misery all along.
Too blind to see,
were meant to be,
or am i mistaken for imaginary catastrophed destiny?
I thought you were different,
It's been almost a year
And I'm still crazy
All of the memories you've left me
Haven't become foggy or hazy.
I hate you, God, do I hate you
And your perfect life
Leaving me broken in my garage--
A normal day like any other,
You smile across the room.
I make my way to talk to you,
Then screams erupt, but whom?
Our eyes dart to the open door,
Where classmates hurry by,
In retrospect,
kissing her was not the smartest thing I could have done.
it was probably, (and I mean Probably in its severest form)
was the worst thing I could have done all summer,
This love,
that's breaking me down.
The names i've been called,
the hurtful things you say.
This love,
the one haunting me.
Why can't i just let you go?
Erase you from my memory.
He left me half dead you know?
He left me a drained girl who had drank from his love for well over a year.
He left me hungry for love and affection for comfort and heat.
Love is so easily taken awayHere one day, gone tomorrowWhy have you gone astray?Why must I feel such sorrow?
Perhaps I will purchase new glassesAnd frame my darkened lamps anewAnd auspiciously. Here I might beseech,Behold, and betoken another looking-glass self;Here enkindle and focus new knowledge
"Just come to me my dear, and you will have no fear."
She walks alone through school; no one seems to think she's cool.
There's something about her that makes my dead heart stir.
Love doesn't come with directions,
it's never quite the same
Sometimes it leaves you broken up,
or changes your last name
One look,
one touch,
one smile could really change it all
I miss the stones
That used to tap on my window
To wake me up
And sneak out with my people
I would softly laugh
As I climbed down the wall
To greet you with open arms
But now you are gone
You never took the time to see how i felt,
You simply did instead of do.
I was hurt , Heartbroken and unheard
and now im all alone.
Helpless, Defenseless and Aching .
Like the sound of silence calling,
I hear your voice aloud and suddenly,
I feel I'm falling, lost in a dream.
You were everything to me,
The air that I breathe,
Oh hold my Heart ,Hold it near ,never ever let it fear,
For if it fears ,then it will cry ,But you never ever hold it so near ,
Why is that Dear?Do you remember all the Tears that Sear on my Heart ,oh Dear?
There was a boy in a small class
Who saw a girl so blonde, no sass
She looked and smiled while he blushed
And thought to himself, What a crush
this is for the broken hearted.. i know you feel empty, betrayed, and no happiness at all. you don’t want to laugh because you know it’s not gonna help and you don’t wanna cry because you know it’ll only make you feel worse.
Astounded
By your lies.
Can’t think straight
Devouring your promises
Entire days burned by what you did.
Feeding off my purity
Get out of my head.
Hating you
Is becoming easier.
I need relief
release
to let it go
and be set free
I need the pain to fade
the confusion to vanish
but most of all
I need you.
The end of school is soon,
But yet I don't want to say goodbye.
When the clock strikes noon,
I feel as if a part of me will die.
I love you so much that I hate you, get it?
I hate you because I loved you to the point where it broke my heart
I love you because your smile made me smile
I hate you because you drained me of my happiness
Love is like a rose
It starts off fresh, beautiful
standing strong,
but as the life of it increases
the strength decreases
the scent begins to sour;
peddles begin to wilt.
In effort to salvage
Even though I've run it through my mind over and over again
I find it damn near impossible to ignore the way I feel within
There's the girl I love it's weird because I can't shake the feeling
Think back….
Can you remember houses made of cardboard boxes
Out of which came your parents’ new furniture from ikea
Do you remember changing your names
I will never fall in love for fear of a constantly harrowed heart
Autumn sweeps in, softly at first
The quiet promise of rain-kissed air
A cool breeze on your skin
Leaves like shocks of flame darting through the trees
Birch and oak hesitate to shed their coats
I wonder what its like to be beautiful
To never worry about your hair
Your nails, Your make-up
I wish those pretty girl would just shut up
Bragging about their perfect boyfriends
Is this what it feels like...
to break?
It's not as painful as I imagined...
I feel so numb.
I don't feel anything anymore.
Even the hot tears don't exist.
She said "I can't see myself without you" He said "well close your eyes, and if I ever really loved you would I tell you lies?
I thought of you - again - today.
Your song and music to which I would sway
Playing softly from this machine of mine.
I wonder if you will ever grow some spine.
When Heaven took your light from me,
The whole world went dark.
I do not know where to turn,
I need your guidance.
i told myself i’d fix him
show him that killing isn’t his path
but he’s psychotic and poetic
i guess i didn’t do the math.
I swear I don’t have a gun
This game was only fun, but it’s over now
And somehow, we have to leave this place
Leave it far behind, where the sun doesn’t shine
Where ends meet and part again, our lives intertwined
Depression
Bringing back the pain from the lonely past,
I hope your life burns, but forever last.
The confusion, guilt and hatred I feel,
Locks me away without a decent meal.
The poison you shot into my veins,
The Earth shattering silence that chokes the life from me
A Secret hidden deep inside
Needing a place to hide.
The Exposure... Hush Hush...
No one sees but the ghosts haunt during the light.
Driving’ in his car, its amazing how the wind flows through the room.
I couldn’t stop getting butterflies touching him. Why couldn’t it last for so long?
I couldn’t help but to say goodbye.
The nights when I cry,
With my eyes all wet,
No one to talk to,
About the feelings I get,
No one I can trust to tell something yet,
I can see the dark clouds and how they're set,
My heart, wielding nothing but power and unprotected,
Just there for others to hurt.
There are things within the heart, my heart, that make me feel
Tangled.
I gave up long ago
Realized there’s nothing living for.
My mother has my father.
My brothers have each other.
My friends will soon forget,
This world won’t stop, it’ll continue to revolve.
In the future I see
Myself, just plain happy
Helping others while on the go
Just so everyone will know
I will be everything I can be
I will be strong, bold, and free
Nothing will get in my way
Do we think were through?
Yes I think we do.
Do you know that you love me?
Or isn't it meant to be?
We havent spoke in a while,
but this agonizing pain,
its just pouring like rain.
He lays there,
Without a care.
No other word to be said,
Except he’s dead.
His face once so beautiful,
His lips now sag from lack of love.
I wait in line
After the service
