    8] Out Of Control.

    All of the memories that are within my mind,
    Hurt me too much to just leave them behind.
    It doesn't matter how hard I try to forget,
    Cause you always find a way to make me upset.

    You carve your harsh words into my delicate heart,
    While playing the victim as I'm falling apart.
    You don't care about the pain you put me through,
    Or the fact that I wanted to die because of you.

    For every single tear that I have ever shed,
    And for all those words that were left unsaid.
    It's unbelievable how I've become so empty,
    I never imagined that this would happen to me.

    Pointless steps forward lead to more mistakes,
    Another cold night with pounding headaches.
    Salty tears start to fill up my dark green eyes,
    And I know I can't keep hiding behind my disguise.

    Scars from my past remind me that I'm weak,
    Cause the help that I need I'm afraid to seek.
    I can't help but think that I am out of control,
    That there's a missing puzzle piece from my soul.

    How do I stay strong when I know you'll walk away,
    Not caring about all the things that I have to say.
    I'm Spinning out of control; All because of you,
    You left me here to fade away; Now I can't get through.

    {It's exactly 24 lines long. =) ..Hope it's alright. I had already started writing something about my mum. And yeah. Then I kept writing it for this contest thingy.}

    alrighty then...

    ~*~"Walking Away"~*~

    I remember when you said
    "I'll always be there"
    But sometimes it feels like
    You don't really care

    I say that I'm fine
    But it's not really true
    The thing that hurts me
    Has always been you

    You've left me before
    But I always forgive
    But pain and sorrow
    Is no way to live

    I am tired of you
    Doing this to me
    Let my heart go
    So I can be free

    Don't come near me
    For it only hurts more
    Just keep walking away
    As you have before

    Alone I Break

    Here in the night,
    Of this cold disgruntled heart,
    I've given up
    All my thoughts of dark.
    Wanting for light,
    Calling for tears,
    Knowing that you
    Would soon be here.
    And alone I break,
    Falling away
    From what I had before.

    I lived my life,
    Knowing of hell,
    Dreaming of you
    And wishing you well.
    Killing my hopes,
    Stalling this love.
    Knowing that you had never,
    Taken my trust.
    And alone I break,
    Falling away,
    From what I had before...

    Time is Running Out

    Drinking satire like wine,
    Scorn breeding inside you.
    Kill the foetus, kill your mind
    Try to break through.
    If you can win, you've got it all
    It's a dirty game to play
    Lie, cheat and stand tall,
    To seek out dying prey.

    Its hard to watch destruction, to kill what you let bloom
    But there's beauty in the broken, like acid in the wound.

    Their fancy painted masks,
    Don't hide their true being.
    They're trying to hurt you
    To leave you grieving.
    They're attacking the foundation,
    Don't let it break!
    They'll steal your life,
    If you let them in to take.

    Defeat them before they defeat you.
    Don't let them give you doubt,
    Their seeking your weakness
    And time is running out...

    To win
    (because they're teaching you to fall)

    *Sorry its a bit weird but its about bullies in a way, people who deliberatly hurt you to get you depressed and trying to fight them back*

    can i reserve trouble

  • IfIhide11
    18 years ago

    Trouble

    I look to my left
    And I look to my right
    I’m so scared
    I heard something there
    Something upstairs
    Frightening me in the dark
    I go to the phone
    Hope for escape
    As the time starts
    To pass I know
    Trouble doesn’t last
    I pick up the phone
    And call for help
    He’s down the stairs
    With his gun in his hands
    Sirens go off from a mile away
    He points the gun ready to shot
    The door is broken down
    As he leaves and
    as the time starts to pass.
    Now I know trouble doesn’t last

    ~Cheating On You (Your Final Warning)~

    I am giving you your final warning,
    cut the sh** and quit your mourning.
    You're going to be fine, you see,
    the one who's given up is me.

    We've been done many times before,
    you are, no longer, who I adore.
    This is it, we cannot continue,
    I have lost myself within you.

    Now, I'm trying to find a way out,
    a different road, an alternate route.
    This is not just another break,
    forget about me for heaven's sake.

    I just can't take this added stress,
    I quit this never-ending quest.
    Time is needed, for me to think,
    of this mountain, I've reached the brink.

    Now, It's time for me to come down,
    I refuse to continue to wear this frown.
    We had good times, yes I'll admit,
    but reality is, I'm sick of your sh**.

    Lips Of an Angel.
    ~Wings

    Into the room I stood so still,
    As if to wake the dead,
    I creeped to the wooden side,
    Looked in onto your bed,

    Curtains pulled to a kiss,
    Inside a movement found,
    Shuddered into a slumber,
    For now there is no sound,

    Clasped the doll in my arms,
    Rocked it to then fro,
    Mustn't make a whisper,
    No sound so they won't know,

    Wrapped her in a blanket,
    Crept to the staircased hall,
    'No one,' I muttered,
    Slipped and let her fall,

    Week passed their tormented souls,
    They wish to wake the dead,
    All the little girl could see,
    Was a her baby sister's bed.

    Thanks

    Good luck peeps,
    ~Wings

    don't Fake this

    I have been hurt to many times
    My heart broken into many pieces
    My soul torn down the middle
    But now i have you
    You've sewn my heart back together
    And fixed my ripped soul
    Your love
    Is something i've never had
    Everyone else
    Was the exact opposite of you
    They never held me in their arms
    Never kissed me so lovingly
    Never looked deep into my eyes
    And saud I Love You
    So please don't hurt me
    Please don't break my heart
    Please don't fake this
