Love Hurts

It wasn't you that held the knife,
but it was you that caused the pain.
You made it bleed.
You left the scars.

You bought me roses,
like a dozen sharpened blades.
Dripping.
Red.

The hurt I felt inside,
spilled out in blood.
It was a thrill to see it
leaving me

Life and Society...

I stand for what I say is right.
because theres nothing more real to me
Our opinions contrast like the day and night.
an artist is such a relief to be.

our visions are molded to what we see
becuase they don't want it any other way
living strong while were just dieng to be
what they always seem to say

is there really a standard to live our lifes
or do they just want us to struggle
can we ever do what we think is right
or are we stuck searching through this rubble

I can't find a real reason
so I guess its left to burn
for what I beleive in
theres too much they have to learn.

How Did We Ever Get This Way?

When I looked into your eyes
I used to see stars
all shining right in front of me
but now, I don't know what I see
You tell me lies
and we both know it
but we hate it
we ignore it
how did we ever get this way?
why did you start lying anyway?
so wrong, so right and so confused
I guess your sparkles now are bruised
by my tears that hit them so deep
hit them why you were trying to sleep
it's the worries and the tries
that caused even much more lies
as your daughter I looked up to you
but now, I don't know, I'm lost
lost within you
and it's your smile that's away
I wish we never argued again
where are you,; so deep inside?
where are you,; please don't hide...

~Out On The Tiles~

Each jagged edge bares its own unique pattern.
Patterns that diminish, but are soon recreated.
Recreated with similar differences, but not the same,
for "same" is just a metaphor for the truly impossible.

As each piece slips through the lucent air,
they are preparing for their second decent.
A decent much less abrupt than that of the first,
for the first decent was all that mattered.

Now, that which was once whole, is shattered,
with each rise and fall the pieces chip and settle.
Settle upon the ground where they lay terrified,
terrified to see their eternal bonds forever broken.

The noise of shattering dulls, a new sound emerges,
its pattern obvious to those who have fallen.
A shadow covers the remains of what used to be,
what used to hold God's most beautiful creation.

The shadow disappears, yet darkness remains,
the sound of a rain stick fills the empty room.
A quick silence, and a new melody fills the air,
the melody of a bag slowly filled with undesirable candy.

The tiny pieces left in the light are soon overwhelmed,
brushed under the stove where I stand exhausted.
No longer does my vase stand stocked with roses,
no longer is my apartment filled with their sweet aroma.

Watching the vase fall I realize our similarities,
analyzing each moment of its decent as my own.
The initial fall, instigated by that of a mere bump,
a slight mishap, with a devastating outcome.

~Too many times we let minuscule incidents rile us up. All too often these incidents escalate into something unmanageable. If we just chill out and go with the flow, major problems can be avoided. Unlike the vase, when we shatter the pieces are a whole lot easier to pick up. Don't leave your pieces lying out on the tiles, pick them up and put yourself back together. Life is too short to dwell on the past.~

~Unhealed Wounds~

There's unhealed wounds surrounding my shattered heart,
Poison running through my blood which you helped start.
Unwanted thoughts flowing through my innocent mind,
Of wanting to leave this horrible world that God designed.

Remembering the moments when you slapped my face,
I was shocked and afraid to run back to that place.
What I had called home was living in constant fear,
Cause I learned not to judge from what may not appear.

Purple hand marks covered my tanned back everyday,
I'd cry at night telling myself it would all be okay.
A tough knight in shining armor would come rescue me,
Releasing me from her prison, setting me free.

His hands were smothering me, unable to breathe,
Screaming and yelling, wishing that he would leave.
Choking my throat so tight that I couldn't escape,
Pleading to him please no, this is wrong, this is rape.

Breaking down on my knees with the glass in my hand,
Tears were soaring because no one could understand.
My body was shaking, it had become so numb,
Realizing I'd finally reached the rock bottom.

There's unhealed wounds surrounding my shattered heart,
Poison running through my blood which you helped start.
Unwanted thoughts flowing through my innocent mind,
Of wanting to leave this horrible world that God designed.

~*~"Depression"~*~

Clenched fists
Tear-stained eyes
Scarred wrists
Muffled cries

Hurt and afraid
All alone
The mistakes made
Were unknown

Innocence sold
Lost anew
Heart of gold
Turned black and blue

Promises broken
Memories fade
Shattered token
Shining blade

Piercing skin
Let it bleed
Pain within
Torn indeed

Whispered sorrows
Endless cries
No tomorrow
Say goodbye

One last time
Lift the knife
Such a crime
Taking a life

Sing me to sleep

Just born three years ago
I rock my baby girl in the chair
I pat her bottom gently
And run my fingers through her hair

I read her bed time stories
Until her eyes softly close
Then I put her in her crib
With a blanket on from her shoulders to her toes

One night she got tired of stories
“Sing me to sleep mom”
So I sung her “you are my sunshine”
Until she was sleeping and calm

That was a night I’ll never forget
It was cold and very dark
Just about 3:45 A.M
Some noise in the house sparked

I thought it was nothing
Until I heard my baby’s wail
I woke my husband in the night
And ran while I was scared and pale

When I reached her room
The window was open and she wasn’t there
I saw a ladder leaning against our house
With broken glass everywhere

I saw a car pulling off
It was to dark to see the license plate
I screamed and cried for him to come back
I yelled “Please don’t go! Wait!”

I paced around the room
With my husband by my side
Then the kidnapper called my house
Saying my baby girl had died

He told me she went into a seizure
And he was unsure of what to do
“I was going to let her live
But when I looked down she was black and blue”

I cursed and swore at him
Then I wanted to know why
He said he’s been wanting my baby since she was born
Because his wife got her tubes tied

My child was born a seizure baby
She probably was in shock
So she through herself into a seizure
And ended up solid as a rock

I’ll never forget that horrid day
15 years later I still weep
And I never forget my little girl’s last words
“Mommy sing me to sleep”

Where Your Heart Is
by Д βєąµ†ιƒµℓ £ιэ

Do you really believe that love's not meant to last
or is that just what you tell everyone
To prevent another mistake
To stop you from falling?
...You're so sentimental

I don't know you that well but
(I'd like to change that)
I know what it's like
To not know where your home is
To only know where your soul is
To have your heart scattered
in many different pieces
&& nobody remembers to write or return your calls
except maybe. just. this. one..

I know what it's like to leave behind friends
you thought you'd grow up with
Who'd be there forever
Go to prom, graduation, all those normal experiences
Normal kids have
(What is normal anyway?)
...We should be more sentimental

Forever...you don't even know
how long that is
It has lost all meaning...
I miss them...
&& all the pictures that I took of those last days together
got lost in the transaction
(Sorry I'm still bitter)

So we have no faith
Because we have no place
Where are you going?
All that matters
Where are you going to stay?

What is our reason...save our ambition
We're becoming everything we swore to hate
&& all the talk && rushed goodbyes
were breathed in vain
When a minute later they stop && sigh
what a waste

You && I dread the day that you are gone
Just like everybody else
You're not like anybody else
You're not like anybody else

Come on! Post some more!

Ok at my time its only like 45 minutes away from the next day so I thought i would post them now

Drum Roll please!

first place goes to....

Dark fear
by Silhouette, of something unimaginable

She sits, lonely in the dark
not knowing what to do
with the silver gleaming
the metal grows heavy in her hand
i know i shouldn't do this
dropping the blade to the ground
she shakes with her sobs
the night over comes her corner
the sudden fear creeps in on her
the sobs settle
as the peace takes over
again the next night
with the blade at hand
she feels trapped
cold and misunderstood
as the blade comes closer
she sends out a prayer
please gods save my soul
don't put me with those
that misunderstand others
as she fades away
she gives out a simple cry
never give in to your dark fear
for you shall end up like me
