I'm Not Dead please

I'm Not dead

My heart is beating,
Mind is racing,
I know that I'm not dead,

Every feeling,
That I've felt,
Is screaming in my head.

The past is creeping,
Crawling out,
Opening old scars,

Darkening,
Your bright blue sky,
And blotting out the stars.

This taste of fear,
Like sour milk,
Stomach tied in knots,

Though it feels,
Like it's the end,
These are only thoughts.

Scary visions,
Draped in sorrow,
Pouring from your head,

But if you didn't,
Let them go,
They'd probably leave you dead.

Not all moments,
We do live,
Will leave you loving life,

Some will hurt,
And you will bleed,
For love cuts like a knife.

If there's tears,
And if there's pain,
I know that I'm still living,

One day,
I will smile again,
With eyes that seem forgiving.

Heartbreaker
I`m Not Dead, [DONE]
Last To Know
and Just Like A Pill
please ! :]

I`m Not Dead

Rusty knives are digging into my spine,
Because you took away all that was mine,
With a condescending smile, you say:
That it was all meant to play out this way.

Rumors chant through my throbbing head,
But I`m still standing, I`m not dead;
Two years have come and gone now,
And I lost it all, stuck here wondering how.

I let you get to me, slipped into your words;
Forgot all the warnings that I`d heard,
Drowning in misery, I told my heart to beat;
So that you could stomp it out with heavy feet.

And I stand here holding a piece of me,
That I never should have gone and let free,
You can`t fix a broken heart any given day,
By just going and giving it away.

Through it all, I saw me and you in the end;
On a straight and narrow road that didn`t bend,
But I`m not dead, even if the thought of us did die;
`Cuz I know, even the best fairy tales sometimes lie.

please and thanks. :]

Who Knew

Whiskey tears drowned sorrow from these eyes,
As a razor blade tore hatred into all of the lies,
Life was a one way street down to the pits of Hell,
A foolish little girl who thought she knew it all so well.

But who knew, that when the tides turned around;
She`d wipe her tears, get her feet onto the ground?
And who knew, that when she stood up to face life;
She`d turn around and tear away all of her strife?

Dirty city streets and a man who lost his mind,
It was all over, as far as she had come to find;
A mother brought to her knees, father on the streets;
The life they had made became so bittersweet.

But who knew, the end of the day held a promise:
A better tomorrow and a sweet good-bye to kiss,
And who knew, the white powder only spoke for a few,
And your fate isn`t up to anyone else, it`s up to you?

A man so hell bent on lust, pushes her to the ground;
She wants to scream for help, but no one`s around;
So sick and tired of fighting, she`d lost all of her hope;
Hung up so high on a frayed and breaking rope.

But who knew that what one did, affects others as well;
And what he did would put her through a tear-filled hell?
And who knew, that when her innocence was spared;
She would get up, show the world she wasn`t scared?

The drugs and the alcohol sing sweet torn lullabies,
But I`m so sick and tired of living a life of lies,
So I hold my fate in the palm of my hand, ready to go;
`Cuz I know if the odds are against me, I`ll only grow.

Who knew plz

Here's one.

Family Portrait.

Soulful drawings with a heart,
is it possible this thing is art?
I see the boys - - beaten and bruised.
I see the girls - - eyes of sexual abuse.
I see the parents - - happy as can be.
I see a horrific portrait of a family.

With moments - - many the very best,
they lie their brother down to rest.
With smiles of joy, hopeful tears cried,
- - there's the sister, oh suicide.
Second brother, solid, rock hard abs,
and bloody wounds from 'heartfelt' stabs.
She killed both brothers, followed by her,
and, the last siblings mental health is such a blur.

While I'm still living, I take them down
watch them clutch soil, while upon the ground.
Pain, oh how feeble you truly are,
look at each death, each scar.

With a marking of love I take another portrait of my family,
can't you see - - all that's left is happy ole me.
No more, no more, no more pain.
But, just like them I've gone insane.

Gah.
Double Post. :|

Just like A Pill

Like a drug,
your love gets me high.
Every kiss,
reminds me I can fly.

Just a touch,
My mind and body soar.
Like an addict,
I'm begging for more.

Every word,
puts a smile on my face.
Sorrow's gone,
lost without a trace.

In your eyes,
I can see it's true.
Never lies,
I love you too.

Last To Know.

Childish minds await defeat,
dreams lie open, incomplete.

Forms of self-worth turn to vile,
each individual soon defile(s).

With nothing left to even lose,
mind changing, unable to choose.

What's left awaiting? - - Nothing at all.
What's left awaiting? - - Demon's call.

Forever dreaming of what could be,
missing truths beyond ability to see.

And, I'm the last to know - - awaiting defeat.
While dreams lie open, incomplete.

I saw her again today. The same as everyday.
She looks as beautiful as she always is.
Again she smiles at me,that same half smile.
The kind that makes you feel happy for no reason at all.
She doesn't say a word she justs stands there steering at me.
I reach out towards her,a moment later shes in my arms.
Shes soft to the touch.
Shes smells of sweet promise that brings tears to my eyes.
She looks up at me with that all seeing gaze.
tears begin to run down her face.
I hold her close.
I tell her everything will be alright.
I tell her i will keep her safe and never leave her.
I lean in to kiss her, she meets me halfway.
For this moment she is mine and i am hers.
Then I hear the sound that sets fire to all that i love.
The sound of a bullet leaving the chamber of a gun.
She falls in my arms,arms now stained with the blood of perfection.
I hold her close until shes gone.
My love.
My perfect lost.

Hiya ! I would normally ramble something straight out, but its not possible today(Manchester United v Roma, u see)

Could i reverve "Stupid Girls"

I'm gonna have a field day on that title! ;)

Last to Know

I sat staring at our bed stand last night,
Praying that the phone would ring,
But two hours and bottle of rum,
Got me nowhere but a lost state of mind.
A business call took you out of town,
"An emergency conference meeting"
Is all you said as you ran out the door,
But in three nights, I haven`t heard a word,
So I lay praying tonight that you won`t call;
Because on this bus full of strangers,
I just might be the strangest one,
And if I heard your voice now,
There`s no telling what might happen.
Tears crystallize on my reddened cheeks,
As I sit drowning in angst on an old bus seat,
And an anonymous face tells me to grow up,
Because one lost love won`t matter in the end.
But who is he to say what is right or wrong,
When I can see it set into his dulling eyes,
That he is running away from one fight gone wrong.
A man of so much mystery, is sparing words,
And I know this trick a little too well now,
`Cuz, correct me if I`m wrong, but I don`t think I am,
Isn`t this the exact trick you used when we met?
In my mind, I ran over ways to tell you nicely,
That I wasn`t that kind of girl,
The ones who let you into their pants right away,
But make you work for it instead.
How hypocritical that would be, given the outcome;
But you know girls like me, we find it comforting,
Dying in a strangers arms at night,
And we have no problems at all making you drown,
In all the misery that we cause.
But Baby, call me a cynic because jealousy is my middle name,
And I just shot our chances straight to Hell,
I`ll get off this bus with my mind focussed on you,
But in an old dirty motel bed,
I`ll get over you in one shot,
And you may be the first to sense it,
but you`ll be the last to know.

Bored, lol. Not sure if this poem counts or not. This goes under Leave me alone. Made it under 9 minutes, just random thoughts. It doesn't describe me just for all to know (well, most of the time xP).

Leave me alone

Here I lie
In a world filled with hate and lies
A society based on the numbers of friends and enemies
As a black cat who hides in the shadows
I quietly observe

I walk on in silence
As all around me
Punches are thrown
Harsh words are sent
War bands are created
And the loners are trashed on for being outcasts
I am one of them, but I can stay invisible

I have no friends
And nor do I need them
The people I see are merely people I know
They are my cover
In a world of 6 billion people
There's not a single person I want to see or talk too
I am the final human in this world
And it's my thoughts that keep me company

I resent each presence that meets my path
One mind that meets another can only result in chaos
In defense, I say what needs to be said and give a quick farewell
A shadow who lives in darkness must not be seen in the light
Or my mission is jeapordized

My only goal, is to oversee the world
As it quickly plunges itself into its own destruction
As all life is brought to a rapid end
Out of curiosity, my soul remains attached to this body
To watch the sufferings of both innocence and evil

I laugh in quiet amusement
For as if I'm covered in porcupine needles
The people keep their distance from me
But like a firefly, I am still drawn to the brilliant lights
The souls that emenate with kindness and love

I run and I hide
Before I lose who I am
For I must remain as heartless as matter
Yet the agitations still haunt me
My quiet world is disturbed by useless emotions
And the voices of a thousand thoughts bring me to madness
I become my own enemy
My life becomes nothing but a mindless struggle against falling in love with such a dying world
When all I wished was for was to be left in darkness and silence

Do not love me
Do not hate me
Do not fear me
Pain is all that will result if you get close to me
I do not wish for my world to be destroyed by sadness and regrets
Or for another's world to be destroyed as a result of my own actions
Forget I even exist
There's only one thing I want
Please...
Leave me alone.

Stupid Girls [Acrostic]

Stupid girls; always breaking my heart,
Tortures the soul when they always depart.
Unintentional mention of another mans name.
Pretension was always the name of your game.
Indecision about moving on after you'd left.
Deceitfully confess about what you detest.

Gone are the days when you were my world.
Instant you'd gone, just one more stupid girl.
Ruined my life in one swift, painful move.
Love that was pure you decided to lose.
Stupid girls ... always breaking my heart!

~Pete.

Who Knew

Thrown down to earth
to feel the dirt
tainted parts leave a mark
scarring his little heart.

Who knew his love
wanted to rip him apart
always thought they were above
even from the very start.

Who knew one could give his soul
to no longer be whole
to cry every night
left only to be in miserable fright.

He screams why
while looking at the sky
Cursing his loves words
that would make his life go forward.

"I love you" were the best
he had ever heard
but now their just the worst
and theres nothing to look toward.

Who knew a thing so great
would end in ultimate pain
and leave a person with such hate
with all efforts invain.

Xx Dear Diary xX

Dear Diary
I saw him again today,
I haven't seen him for a while.
He turned around and looked at me,
And he gave me a smile.
My heart skipped a beat,
And a shiver down my spine.
Butterflies in my stomach,
I wish that he was mine.

Dear Diary
Oh my god, I'm so excited,
Diary, i can hardly write!
That brown eyed boy i like so much,
Has finally seen the light!
He asked me for my number,
And he said that he would call.
He said he wants to take me out,
For a milkshake at the mall.

Dear Diary
I'm now officially his girlfriend,
It seems to good to be true.
I couldn't wipe the smile from my face,
Even if i wanted to!
We spend our days together,
And at nights look at the stars.
I wish that everybody in the world,
Had a love like ours.

Dear Diary
Guess what? I'm getting married!
Diary, i have to tell you this!
Something metallic popped in my mouth,
When he gave me a kiss.
It was the most beautiful ring,
It was the perfect day.
I'd better go plan my wedding now,
Cause it's next month in May!

Dear Diary
I can hardly see through my tears,
Diary it hurts so very bad.
My fiance, the love of my life,
has died. I heard it from his dad.
Three years of bliss and love has perished,
Because of one drunken man.
The wedding has now become a funeral,
So much for all our plans.

Dear Diary
I can't take it anymore diary,
I can't live without his love.
It's so unfair, angels took him away,
I'm going to join him up above.
I've taken an overdose of pills,
I feel faint, yet i don't cry.
I'll be with him soon forever more,
And we'll never say goodbye.....

Heartbreaker

Today was gonna be the day that I moved on from you,
But your absence from this conversation left me thinking,
And when I sat down alone and really thought it through,
I figured it would rise me up, but I just ended up sinking.

This quicksand you`ve got me standing in won`t hold,
Sooner or later, it comes down to the color of your heart,
One sweet line, maybe a bitter promise, and you`ll be sold,
Winding us back to the beginning for a better start.

First impressions last a life time and I had you at hello,
But it seems to me that all of the other girls do too,
And of all that`s ever happened, this is the heaviest blow,
Especially coming from a pathetic heartbreaker like you.

My Mama warned me about boys that look like you,
Said that "a pretty boy just ain`t worth my heart and time,
`Cuz when it comes down to it, the only thing they do,
Is break the purest hearts to gain some kind of sublime.

A heart doesn`t belong in someone`s hair or their pants,
Nor does it belong in some stranger`s gripping hands,
But if you are willing enough to risk it all, take a chance,
Then don`t complain when the love slips away like sand."

As this clock sits above me ticking away my sanity,
I find it hard to find a reason to stay with a boy like you,
And as this sand slips between my fingers, I can see;
My Mama`s words held all the things I never listened to.

Just Like a Pill [Acrostic]

Jealousy never was a thought to consume her, but
Under the circumstances, her cynical retorts
Seem to be right on the money. There`s a fine line
Threaded between right and wrong, and right now, it`s

Likely that you`re stumbling on them both. Her
Intoxicated breath doesn`t speak for many, but it
Kills a few; seeing her like this never was the
Easiest thing that you had to do. But you found

A weird sense of amusement in this whole act,

Playing her like a puppet, making her dance in
Isolation for days on end; too afraid to face a
Life that didn`t consist of you. You run through her veins, and just
Like a pill -- you`re headed straight for her heart.
