    To Kill

    As the blood rushed from her throbbing vain,
    She sat with her knees in her chest,
    Dissecting her body would ease her pain,
    And suicide was for the best.

    She was only 16 when she died that day,
    Pondering about only herself,
    Her mother had lost her only girl,
    And her father had blamed himself.

    A few days later while in her room,
    Her mother found a note,
    "I'm sick of the anxiety I'm going through,
    I'm going to slit my throat".

    Her mother sat on her sweet child’s bed,
    Hoping that she would appear,
    She found another sickening note,
    That would flood her face with tears.

    "Worst of all I hate my mother",
    The crumpled up paper had read,
    "I'm killing myself because of her,
    Soon I will be dead".

    Her mother ran into the kitchen,
    And found a butchers knife,
    She carved the blade into her skin,
    Ending all of her strife.

    A broken family is all that’s left,
    From this once a cheerful home,
    Mother and daughter both are dead,
    And a father left all alone.

    You

    You and me are meant to be,
    like the stars are meant to shine.
    Together, forever
    that's how it should be.
    Love for a lifetime
    and dance everyday,
    never give up,
    never go away.
    Fates brought us together
    that's how it should be.

    Baby please understand,
    you are the one for me.
    I don't care what you think
    I want you by my side
    holding me and loving me
    by my side for all of time.

    Give me a chance,
    I love you I swear
    I can't get over you
    cause we are meant to be.

    Happiness

    The light through the window,
    The sunshine in the day.
    No clouds in these skies,
    To cover the blue with grey.

    We were children once
    But our hearts never did change.
    I’m older now with patchy memory,
    Of the love we did exchange.

    Pick from the file, to look on the past,
    That made us who we are.
    I’ll never forget you taught me to love
    And heal all of my scars.

    I fall asleep and dream of you,
    You’re everything in me
    I’ll never let go of anything
    That you taught me to be.

    And as I look back at yesterday
    At our laughter and our tears,
    I’ll remember our happiness
    Our struggles and our fears.

    I know you’re here next to me,
    I never felt you leave.
    Your body may be dead and buried,
    But the happiness I still receive.

    ~Leave Me~

    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**.

    Time

    I wanted to shout
    how much I hated you
    because of what you did to me
    but I couldn't raise my voice out loud

    And it's the memory of you
    that seemed so close at first
    I could even see your face
    but the picture of you was cursed

    As time was fading
    you softly away
    I buried your picture
    because I had nothing left to say

    Now I want to look at you
    to see you, feel your heart again
    but there's nothing left no more
    and I don't know what to do

    It's time, my dear
    time that's driving you and me apart
    time that crushes my heart
    ever since you're not here

    I wish time could stop
    to keep a bit of you and me together
    so that at least
    I could see your memory again...

    I hope you'll like it... =)

    Peace

    We have wars and we fight.
    Is that supposed to be allright?

    War is the main court, and people dessert,
    How come no one cares if others get hurt?

    Money drives the world, and is the center of peoples mind,
    what happened to sharing, and just being kind?

    Suicidal people and a here and there bomb,
    this happens all the time, and we all seem to stay so calm?

    People are angry and wars increase,
    so how can you say all you want is peace?

    ~Never~

    Never have I heard
    The wind so loud
    Never have I seen
    The water so clear
    Never have I touch
    A grass so soft
    Never have I whispered
    The darkness to come.

    Never will the sun shine
    So bright
    Never will I gaze into the light
    Never will my heart
    Be at piece
    Never will I sing again.

    Never have I seen
    A smile so graceful
    Never have I witness
    Such blue eyes
    Never have I smelled
    The morning air
    Never have I taste
    The first summer rain.

    Never will I touch
    Your beauty of skin
    Never will I taste
    Your gentle lips
    Never will I smell
    You fresh combed hair
    Never will I hear
    The sound of you
    Breathing in the air.

    8] Hold My Breath. {Terza Rima Sonnet}

    I'll hold my breath as you walk right beside me,
    A moment like this should always be treasured,
    Because in your arms is where I long to be.

    The love that is in my heart you have captured,
    Never will these feelings I have go astray,
    Words from my mouth and soul will not go unheard.

    You hold the key to what I'm yearning to say,
    If only you would come and unlock my door,
    I'd tell you exactly how I feel today.

    The love in your heart is what I'm searching for,
    With my two bare hands I try to dig and find,
    Who the special person is that you adore.

    Do you see me standing here or are you blind?
    Needing you is the only thing on my mind.
