It's not right but it's okay

It's not right but it's okay.

Her heart beats silently
but I hear it from yards away.
Her voice cries quietly,
whimpering as it screams.

No one could bare the pain,
nor the thought of losing her.
And considering everything -
it's not right but it's okay.

We've been here before,
she's captured the moments.
Fearful of death,
yet joyful for life -
it's the time that counts
and we mustn't waste it.

She's made me smile,
and sometimes cry.
More so I laugh,
that she makes me try.

She's held us together
and this could tear us apart.
But, it's not in our hands
and it's not right but it's okay.

Just the Lonely Talking Again

In the heat of the moment, you took my quivering hand,
And together we ran through the bare city streets,
Screaming at the top of our lungs, with gunpowder on our tongues:
Three little bullets: "I love you" -- [Shh, listen..as our hearts beat].

The sun swallowed us whole as we sank into the horizon,
And the wind and birds were singing us softly to sleep,
With your fingers running lightly through my golden hair,
You hummed sweetly under your breath. [That song, I long to keep.]

I held tightly onto you, afraid to blink and have you leave,
And the clock was on our side, or so the story was told,
But that feverish tick forced the time by too fast,
Before I could open my eyes again, this news was old.

My favorite color used to be red, like crimson roses,
Until the day I watched your taillights disappear.
And I swore up and down I wouldn't turn back again,
But after-all, who's going to stop me? You're not here..

Eyes bloodshot and hollow watched you go down in flames,
While laughter echoed through my throbbing body,
And I doused the fire between you and the road back home,
But you weren't going to let me forget that easily.

I stood before the sun, watching as it swallowed the clouds whole,
And with a bittersweet smile, I turned to walk away,
Hesitantly, I stayed to fire those three little bullets:
"I love you.." [But maybe that's just the lonely talking again..]

Heartbreak Hotel please :)

Heartbreak Hotel (it's not good, I warn you)

Dragging my cases
Through the revolving doors.
It's a home from home
At the Heartbreak Hotel.

"Room for one",
Mumbled towards the desk.
Those familiar keys
For Room 23 sparkle.

Screaming at wallpaper
Doesn't solve anything.
Forget your troubles
At the Heartbreak Hotel.

Surely, he loved me?
Husband-to-be?
No. That son of a...
He packed my bags for me!

Tying my noose,
Watched by my replacement,
While I rip my heart out
At the Heartbreak Hotel.

Checking out as
I can't stay any more.
The hotel compliments
Are beginning to haunt me.

Goodbye, Room 23,
For the last time.
I won't be staying again
At the Heartbreak Hotel.

Falling Out Of Love With You

Lately when I look at you
I can't help but still smile
Remembering how you used to hold me close
And make me feel worthwhile

And when I think about the times
When we were out together
I know I never could have thought
Of something that we couldn't weather

But something has been changing lately
Something I can't quite name
Although the actions keep repeating
The emotions just aren't the same

And I just can't put my finger on it
On what changed with time
There were moments I used to marvel
Because you were really mine

And now I find myself making excuses
For everything I am and feel
Doubting and thinking and hating myself
For wondering if our love is still real.

We've been together for so long
It's hard to imagine being apart
My mind wants to still love you
But it just isn't convincing my heart

I'm sorry if I seem off lately babe
I just don't know what to do
Because for the first time in my life
I'm falling out of love with you.

Yester-me, yester-you, yesterday PLZ AND THANK YOU!

Yester-me, yester-you, yesterday

Yester-me, yester-you, yesterday.
I remained yesterday , yester- us, you looked at me with love. You were my belove. Yester-me, yester-you, yesterday. You kissed me with a passion in a loving fashion. yester-me, yester-you, yesterday. You said you missed me and never would dis-me. yester-me, yester-you, yesterday . You said we need to talk you needed to be free like Tony hawk. yester-me, yester-you, yesterday. I cried, you just sat there trying not to hurt your pride. yester-me, yester-you, yesterday. I was a fool to be with you. Now it's just yester-me, yester-you, yesterday.

Can I reserve It's not right, but it's okay please

It's Not Right, But It's Okay

You tried to fix my heart before,
and you will probably try again.
Dear Lord, save me from this
loser, love Emily, Amen.

Giving me hell from the start,
even threatening with a knife.
Now chocolates, flowers, and what's this?
A ring? Are you trying to end my life?

So out came the super glue and the tape,
sitting down with my broken heart.
With that stupid look of concentration
on your face, you healed me, part by part.

Expecting to walk me home from work,
you had brought along your gift.
Tied up in a box with a ribbon,
your shy smile made my spirits lift.

Opening the lid, I saw my heart.
I wasn't sure what I should say.
Remembering our past, the monster you were,
stuttering, "It's not right, b-but it's okay."

"Don't Go Away Mad {Just Go Away}", please.

Don't Go Away Mad {Just Go Away}
by dollwithafrown.

Your overbearing heart-ache has got too much for me,
I'm sorry pretty baby, but I'm trying to let you see
That the world isn't big enough for you and I plus three,
My lungs aren't working anymore, it's too hard to breathe.

I need some space and I need some time;
Go back to a memory that I can call mine.
And in the end we'll manage to climb
That hill that we started before our decline.

If you give me some freedom, I'll give you a chance
To spread out your wings and learn how to dance,
And together we'll sail through our story's last glance;
A once broken but now blooming heartbreak romance.

So go away baby, and swim with the sharks.
Don't frown, sweetie; no sad remarks.
We'll meet once again, down by the park,
Where we lay on the grass to watch fireworks spark.

Come back pretty and come back sweet;
It's never too late for us to beat
The thorn in our ribs that's made us incomplete,
The love is still there, whole and concrete.

You Don't Love Me
----------

Bruises, cuts, welts, pain,
is that what you call love?
Meaningless words flow
from your angry mouth,
into my helpless mind,
absorbing every bit.

We used to share something,
now I'm afraid it's flown away.
Kisses and hugs were special,
now they are nonexistant.
Afraid of alleys in the night,
for you might be there waiting.

You never really loved me,
that's all I'll really say.
Hoping for a loving future;
white picket fence in grass,
ice cream on the porch swing,
but all that ended with a punch.

Will you still love me tomorrow?(Nove Otto)

Years welcome with wrinkled embrace,
blossoms have withered, shrinking grace,
from destiny, smiles I borrow,
and watch them shimmer in your eyes,
moment enclosing for goodbyes,
will your heart then drown in sorrow?
Uncertainty clouds, dream sublime,
with unceasing rhythm of time,
Will you still love me tomorrow?

**The Nove Otto poetry form was created by Scott J. Alcorn. It is a nine-lined poem with

Falling Out of Love With You (Softly).

I'm staring at my bedroom window,
Watching the morning rays float through.
Debating the warmth of glass and stone,
Remembering days I waited just for you.

We've seen the dust and flames,
Dynamite fingers, staring wide,
I watch you burn, melt and mold.
Change that won't turn back with tide.

You took my hand once more and smiled,
We thought to change the frosted moon
With lips that met with too much to say,
Just wanting to feel love so smooth.

Your jealousy and my passion
With my gasoline insides, lit the skies,
All too soon ran out of air.
Brought upon us iron shoe-string ties.

With apathetic urgency,
Turned half the days to dark.
Started the rains, turned the tides,
I'm Noah with half an ark.

Suits of ignorance change with fashion,
And I feel I am lost between the art,
Gave our all to some carbon black,
Trying to neutralize my heart.

Here's a Quarter (Call Someone Who Cares)

Monotonous bodies meander on
Draped in black Armani business attire
Avariciously driven dusk till dawn
Designer trends generate pseudo desire

Oil running copiously through their blood
Fueling the grotesque and bloated culture
McDonald's stock soars while New Orleans floods
Only inhabitants that remain are the vultures

Citizens remaining slothful and naive
Who fail to realize their limitations
Making it not difficult to conceive
Why there are so many complications

Now banks are beginning to fail
A country shakes upon its pedestal
Reality no longer hides behind its veil
And America's boasts must be recalled

American businesses brought to their knees
Sputtering and spattering "Sir, could you please?"
Yet the foreigners speak their denial
"But our economy lay in near despair"
The stranger barely mustered a smile
"Here's a quarter. Call someone who cares"

Please is it possible to unreserve? I can not think of anything and am currently working on other pieces. Thank you anyway though, and I'm sorry

Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me

I could stay right here forever, lost in your eyes;
If only I could rip the wings off these butterflies..

Shuddering, I grasped your warm palm against mine,
And as a shiver crept up and down my spine,
I smiled, as our velvet fingers delicately entwined;
[Hold me close to you, let me feel your heart beat.]

On my neck, I could feel the rhythm of the song,
When you leaned in and began to hum along,
Twisting through the crowd, your eyes locked on me,
You told me there was nowhere else you'd rather be.

Under a full moon, in a blanket of crystal dew,
I begged for just one thing: Wanting only you..
In your eyes of Emerald, I seen a spark or two,
[And I swear I felt them light our hearts on fire.]

The sun dipped over the horizon, as we lay:
Just you and I, praying the rest would go away,
And in the early hour, you smiled over at me,
Our shadows silhouetted on the tall oak tree.

If I could get lost in this moment forever, I would;
But I don't get half the things I think I should.
