    Imperfection

    Flawless skin,
    Hazel eyes,
    A flawless imperfection
    Drowning in stone
    Cold lies.

    Soul that bears no mark,
    Heart that bears one name
    And bandaged up so much,
    Scars and break
    To remain.

    Hazel eyes
    Spill tears,
    First sign of true emotion,
    She has waded all these years
    Through seas of true devotion.

    But the anguish
    Of it all,
    Makes her break,
    Makes her hurt
    And fall.

    Calming seas,
    Soft silk breeze,
    Drying eyes
    And pain filled cries.

    A flawless imperfection
    Drowning in her love and hate,
    To die alone, and lonely,
    It is but lovers' fate.

    Can You Hear Me?

    Can you hear me, I'm calling,
    Don't you care that I am falling?
    Right now I'm down in this dark hole,
    I feel like I'm losing complete control.

    Still here waiting just for you,
    Do you know what I'm going through?
    Darkness is creeping slowly inside,
    I don't know how much longer I can hide.

    Soon I must get out on my own,
    And face the world all alone.
    I need your guidance and advice,
    Do I really have to ask you twice?

    So can you hear my desperate plead,
    Of how much I am truly in need?
    All I want is a good and real friend,
    Someone who stays with me till the end.

    But you have proved to be nothing like that,
    Instead, you are a selfish and know-it-all brat.
    You said you didn't have time for me,
    And was to busy to help with my plea.

    So I will move on in life trying to survive,
    Hoping to be successful and to thrive.
    I will never be able to forget you at all
    And how you never did hear my call.

    This is the Last Time

    I wipe away my own tears
    And being haunted by my fears
    I live this life every single day
    And happy thoughts are kept at bay

    This is the last time I'll fall
    The last time I let pain call
    It can't and it wont get me
    I'll run so far so it I cant see

    This is the last time I'll cry
    Even if I am to die if I try
    I shall be out of death's hold
    And I shall be free from the cold

    However, I've said this before
    And after that, I fell to the floor
    If its the last time for such things for me
    Then sure enough, its the death of me

    I Can Hear You Calling

    In a place deeper then bliss
    Is where I await deaths kiss
    I hear him outside my door
    As I lay broken on the floor

    I shed no tear, I know my fate
    I knew from that very date
    It was going to happen anyway
    So why keep bad thoughts at bay

    So I lay my head back down
    And sure enough happiness drowns
    But as I feel death's weapon drop
    I can hear you calling, and I want death to stop

    ~Imperfection~

    A relationship bound by the court,
    two parents yearning to abort.
    One child's postpartum deport,
    a life, from the start, out of sorts.

    The help of two elders, they sought,
    a custody battle, never fought.
    Drug addict parents, got caught,
    important lessons, never taught.

    A baby that was left behind,
    consequences of a legal bind.
    A lifestyle of a different kind,
    viewpoints from a distorted mind.

    A family separated by years in time,
    a life with a different rhythm and rhyme.
    Two people, making up for another's crime,
    always living off of their last dime.

    A difficult situation from the start,
    a unique picture, of an unpopular art.
    A family, nearly torn apart,
    two grandparents, certainly, off the charts.

    An unwanted boy, now full grown,
    held together by seams, left un-sewn.
    Approaching life with a whole different tone,
    hoping, some day, to live life on his own.

    ~I Am Second To None~

    When I die, I will not be placed beside my pen,
    nor will my soul dwindle on this petty earth.
    Both will rise, one in glory, the other in fame,
    and all will share in my everlasting mirth.

    To my dirge, pen strokes will do a final dance,
    words that kept me afloat, will no longer wade.
    In death, profundity shall be enhanced,
    yet I will be forgotten, as the ink eventually fades.

    The portrait of my life, painted with caliginous words,
    will be placed upon my headstone, in a grassy heap.
    Forever I'll lay somber, where I've been interred,
    for what in life I've sowed, I shall eternally reap.

    Blenching pages will not outlive this web I've woven,
    within these pages my heart is willingly expelled.
    Never will fame surmount the ties of this poetic brethren,
    nor will death seperate me from the bonds I've withheld.

    I Could Wish For Better

    I'd never ask for anything,
    That wasn't mine to take,
    Prideful in my wicked ways,
    Sleeping or awake.

    I'd never say a single word,
    I didn't really mean,
    Words, the most important thing,
    The truth is so serene.

    I'll never cry a single day,
    For love that I have lost,
    If I held it and still failed,
    That lesson is my cost.

    I'll never fail to let you know,
    The feelings I surmise,
    And even when you doubt it all,
    You'll see it in my eyes.

    I could wish for better things,
    Life forever altered,
    I'd rather have the things I've earned,
    Even when I've faltered.

    Can you hold onto my heart:
    ------------------------------------

    I welcome in the morning breeze,
    I welcome in the sun,
    A new day lies ahead of me,
    I'm out to have some fun,

    A new chance to follow my dreams,
    A new chance to explore,
    The fantasy I've had for years,
    The idea I adore,

    If I leave remember me,
    If I leave don't dart,
    because I'll be coming back,
    can you hold onto my heart,

    It wont fit in my pocket,
    It wont fit in my chest,
    So can you keep it safe for me,
    And not just do your best,

    I dont want to find a broken heart,
    I dont want to have to grieve,
    So will you still have love for me,
    Even after I leave?

    This Is The Last Time

    {And like a fool I went so blindly back into your arms}

    Longing to hear those words you used to whisper to me
    Instead every thirty seconds you just repeat her name
    Those three words that I'm dying to hear reserved for her
    What happened to all the things you used to proclaim

    Mumbling softly that you still and always will love me
    So why is it she who's wrapped up in your embrace
    Are you conflicted or playing more of your many games
    Cause I see now that I was easy for you to replace

    {Yet when you said you still love me, I followed you so trustingly}

    Pretending I'm okay with just being friends is killing me
    Completely unaware of how just the mention of her hurts
    And if you're just playing more head trips maybe one day
    I'll love you a little less to help you get your just desserts

    'Cause at the moment seems I can't bring myself to hate you
    Even after all the confusion, misery and countless tears
    Love you more than I could have ever thought was possible
    Yet after our time together left with a broken heart as a souvenir

    {And I've been thinking...maybe it's time to show I'm stronger}

    So I guess what I'm trying to say is it's time to choose
    For even though the time we spend together is sublime
    Have to face up to what maybe reality, I'm just your game
    The time to believe your words has come for the last time

    Tired Of This Game

    We used to be the very best of friends
    Made that childhood pact of friends forever
    Only if I'm to be quite honest with you
    Don't think we're meant to be together

    Now where to start with all the drama
    It's like you get of on causing hurt
    So tell me, now I'm a little curious
    Do you treat all your friends like dirt?

    Or is that just reserved for me only
    Spreading all those rumors and lies
    What is it that you actually want from me
    You'll be disappointed if it's to see me cry

    'cause I've finally taken to much grief
    And guess what, now I'm giving in
    People keep asking what happened to us
    And I never even know where to begin

    I'm tired of all your spiteful words
    Sick of all those lies you spread
    Fed up with your petty jealousy
    Time to go find another friend instead

    'Cause when I needed you the most
    You were suddenly nowhere around
    So salt my wounds a little more honey
    You're the best friend who can't be found

    I Am Second To None
    -------------------------

    Hands frozen to a frosted window
    Like a wet tongue hanging from a pole-
    Dressed in white like a bride-to-be
    Upon a broken pedestal.

    "A black smoke rolled from the East
    Like millions of flies set loose from Hell"

    My eyes grew larger as the sun darkened;
    Apollo fell from the sky-
    Landed in a crash that set the grass ablaze
    And birds flew to every corner.

    The flies gobbled them up one by one
    And charged at my limp face
    Sometimes leaving a smudge upon the frost
    As a brown haunting print.

    "The window broke from their force
    Her dress faded from white to black"

    All the hopes and dreams from long ago
    Spilled forth from the table of ruin
    And all the gold shining trophies and happy photos
    Ripped into pieces until nothing

    ...As I am second to none...

    This is the Last Time
    -------------------------

    When the next moon rises above your trees
    Or the next rain splatters upon or steps-
    It'll be the last time I ask for your expertise
    Or waste away life for a life you dreamed.

    This is the last--the final thrash from me
    When this finger reaches the door.
    Call me loser for giving up my hopes
    But this is all yours and I want no more.

    This is the last time I will take the spotlight
    And play my song for wicked fame
    And fall prey to the clapping strangers
    Whom are nameless and all the same.

    When you hear the slamming of your door
    or your windows shattering like ice.
    I'm gone and never coming back again
    Never to pay for fame's unrelenting price.

    When the photos hanging neatly on your walls
    Fall like an avalanche and slice the ground
    It'll be the last time I cry alone in the night
    Wishing my spirit could again be found.

    This is the last time--the final straw
    The very edge before I tilt...
    I'm fading, I'm leaving...I'm gone.

    Imperfection
    by KindlyUnspoken

    Your words floated onto paper with such elegant ease,
    As I struggled with my thoughts, subdued by a purple haze.
    Transfixed, I watch as flowers bloomed before me,
    I'd lost the ability to differentiate between each passing day.

    Punishing myself for not being as good, as perfect;
    That little green demon arising in me once again.
    Your work: a morning sunrise, everybody sees it,
    Mine withers away as soon as I reach for the pen.

    You said I was amazing, my talent glowing beyond the rest,
    But not even your words could make me see
    'cause when I read the art that comes from you,
    I knew it was the kind of perfect that I could never be.
