Missing Pieces.I am a missing piece. Something that someone needs.
But at the same time, I feel so incomplete.
I’ve wandered way too far, wondered for far too long
Am I a missing piece? Or a piece that won’t belong?

Is it possible I’m damaged and not missing at all?
That I’m just as dysfunctional as everybody else?
Pretending to be perfect never softened a single fall.
But neither did admitting that you’re broken and flawed.

A broken missing piece. Is that all I’m meant to be?
There is no master plan that includes the likes of me.
Being all alone, it’s a hurt that will not cease.
A hundred thousand years from now

If Ever I Lost YouWhat weighs on your mind?
What's taking up your time?
You tell me not to worry and you swear you're really fine

Please open up to me
Tell me of your fears
You know I'll kiss the scars and I'll wipe away your tears

Don't keep it to yourself
You know you're not alone
I couldn't live my life without you ever coming home

I'd be so lost inside
I wouldn't recognize
The person that I see in the reflection of your eyes

Just tell me you're okay, and that you love me too
I don't know what I'd do
If ever I lost you…

Wonder.Do you fear your own death?
Is it hard to conceive?
Draw in your last breath, then-
Your last breath will leave.

Isn't it strange to think,
That there's a timer above your head?
A countdown you can't see,
That finishes when you're dead.

Don't you ever wonder,
What it'll be like when you're gone?
I bet the world will keep on spinning.
There will be another dawn.

But the harsh reality behind it-
We're all going to die.
There's no reason to try to fight it
Not even to question why.

It makes me wish that I could have a little more to give,
Because I'm not afraid of how I'll die...

I'm afraid of how I'll
Live...

Human NatureWe're born
We die
We're torn
We cry

A door opens wide
A door closes shut
Opportunities slide
We don't make the cut

We stumble
We crawl
We're humble
We fall

We fear
We overcome
We steer
We succumb

We crave
We let go
We save
We owe

We take care
We forget
We stare
We've met

All in all
We're children of the earth
We rise and we fall
Beginning at birth

Freaks ShowFingers scratching at my wrist,
Wanting a beautiful kiss.
The lips they know too well,
Gradually I feel my mind compelling,
Back to almost a month ago,
When I was still apart of the freak show.
Dancing on the stage,
With a pointy blade,
Focused on a luscious vein.
The oh's and ah's of the crowd causes pain,
I finally notice how different I really am.
I finally notice there is nothing I can,
Do to pick up the glass without getting cut.
I finally noticed that all I am is a nut.
I finally noticed that deep down I'm in the freak show for life,
I can no longer hide and fight,
The true me when it's thriving to come out.
In this moment I do doubt,
T

LockedLocked

So long ago
I've been trying to escape
Giant walls grow bigger
In my place

There is not place for anyone else
Just loneliness and myself
Heavy air is what I breathe,
Heavy tears are what I expect

Lonely whispers surrounding me
Adding more weight to my chest…
This pain around me is so dense,
It can be cut with a blade

Thousands of swords are falling
Willing to hurt where they can…
Painful cries are drowned,
By cruelty herself

Long I've been running
From here, to there…
Locked in a concrete prison,
Locked in a trees jail…

What is the difference
Between being alone here, and being alone there?
I am a captive in this

Text - He Made Me Smile Sample ChapterHe was like a large teddy bear, all wrapped up in Christmas paper for you. Just when you thought no one cared in the world – there he appeared bounding happy and caring, a gentleman to you.

And he sat there and said such wonderful things - how smart you were and "hey look at this" and you could almost guess what his family makeup was. He had a brother for sure, but no sisters. You could tell by his confidence and his smile that it was internally happy. Just everything about him was happiness and deep caring. And you deeply cared back.

You could get lost in his ways – how he worried about you and cared for you and wanted to be there for yo

Hurts Like HeavenOh. My.
God, it hurts like heaven;
Longing for all your affection,
Every bit of your attention,
You're a divine intervention.
In this life that's turned to hell.

I can't help it when I reminisce,
In moments that are just like this,
I remember when we had our kiss,
And now how much I really miss,
You...

The times when we weren't separated,
Were the best memories that I've created,
To reunite is long awaited,
I feel like I'm incarcerated,
In my own personal hell.

I can't help it when I think of you...
I hope one day we'll say "I do."
But for now I have to struggle through,
Until the day I get to you...

It won't be long, lov

Festivals of LifeI remember those summer nights
when we danced like mirthful angels
under the clear, starry skies
that expanded across the land.

And the colors burned so bright
like an ancient tribal fire.
Skirts swayed in the glory light
with lipstick shades of red.

And I could hear the wolves cry
like a melody in the distance.
The taste of mild salsa spice
lingered forever on my tongue.

And I will never forget those nights
when the wild world around us
was nothing but a beautiful sight
under a lantern-lit ocean.

Distant AdmirersWe stare at each other
through a crystal screen,
eyes set in a yearning gaze.
And in the solemn hour
we relentlessly dream,
imagining that very day...

When we finally meet
in an authentic embrace,
finding each other's heart.
In the midst of a kiss
with a honeysuckle taste,
never wandering apart.

But until the time arrives
to break past the blue,
we'll continue to dream.
Forever pondering o'er
the presence of you
beyond the crystal screen.

Broken FramesIn the morning when my eyes first open
Will you be there or will I be alone
Cause I hate that you left me still broken
To fend for myself still all on my own

Reflections are marred with cracks and scratches
Nothing remains but remnants of our trust
And how nothing else ever attatches
You have to let go and this is a must

Even if we were to try to repair
Nothing could fix this not after that fall
I know you do when you say you don't care
Maybe it's best you say nothing at all

Get on your knees and stop playing these games
You'll see what I see behind broken frames

I'm Alive..?Don't try to see the good in me
Cause it's hidden behind lock and key

I never let anyone inside
Won't let them wipe the tears I've cried

I don't think they'd really care
If they knew of all the scars I bear

They try to make me feel less worthless
But I know that I deserve this

For still having a beating heart
I'm trying not to fall apart

But you
Just take me
Make me feel
Erase these lies
Tell me what's real
Hold me close
Hold me all night
Make me feel like
I'm alive.

Tried Everything..Another day left to waste away
By myself
Another night searching for you
In vain
Another memory that haunts me
Here comes the pain

It's almost like I can hear you
But you're so far away...

Another moment without you
Another minute passes by
Another part of my heart dies
Another tear I'm bound to cry

It's almost like I can feel you
I know I can't but I still try...

There are so many things
That I just want to shout
And there is so much more
I knew nothing about

Just having you here with me
Leaves me without a doubt

You're heavens trying everything
You're heaven trying everything
To keep me out

The Story of UsIt's just beneath the skin
Her heart so paper thin
It fell and broke again
It's all because of him

Left her for what she was
A broken shattered soul
She can't believe she can
Repair her heart to whole

She's tried so many things
To ease the pain inside
But she still feels its sting
In each tear she's cried

But then you came along
You took this broken girl
Made her believe she's strong
You have become her world

Look deep into her eyes
Let all the pain subside
Return the tears she's cried
Don't ever leave her side

She's fallen hard for you
Please don't betray her trust
You may have heard this too
This is the story of us...

What If...?What if one more lonely day
Is just too much for you to take
What if it's too long
What if it's too far away

What if every time I tried
To make you feel like it's alright
You still broke down
You still cried

What if every word I said
Had never stuck inside your head
Would you be here
In his stead

It's just one more lonely day
They come and then they go away
And every time
I say you're mine
Keep what I said
In your head

Cause I know that it may seem too long
Like that day is just too far away
Please know that I'll still be around
To dry your tears, won't let you drown
As long as you remain here too
Cause nobody could rep

FragileThis has to get better
We're fragile like a feather
You're lost and I'm broken
Our hearts are torn open

So fragile this could break
So sad it would only take
A few simple words
They would light the fire
That would burn our whole world

They had just started beating
So fragile, this feeling
I've got to be dreaming
Why can't you hear me screaming

So fragile I'm scared to breathe
For fear that this would shatter
But I know you'd never leave
So it doesn't really matter

Now as the end is drawing closer
(It isn't fair)
And I know it's nearly over
(Almost there)
I've lost all my composure
(This I swear)
I just want to hold her.

Beautiful Disasterby ~Invoking

Literature / Poetry / Emotional / Visual & Found Poetry

I miss you, even though I pretend that I don't. It hurts just to be awake, just to breathe this air... I don't know if I can keep this facade up for much longer. I tried. But despite all my efforts, you still decided I just wasn't enough. Now you're already with HIM and expect it to not hurt me even more? I- I hate you... I hate you and our memories...
-
This is a very heavily adapted existing piece in my gallery. It originally had six quatrains and was also orginally titled "Document 5" [link] (Yes, that was on purpose - completely different story though) but, I decided to retitle to "Beautiful Disaster" because it's catchy and more relatable. This is/can be about a serious break-up or divorce or whatever you want to call it. This was written a while ago, I simply adapted it to this typographic background. I don't really feel like this, but if you do, my heart goes out to you with care

The font that I used is called "Old Dreams".

The background is to dark or contrasted to see many lines clearly, but this is one of the best poems I've read lately. Every line flows and ends just right.

Beautiful job and I hope to read more from you in the future

Thanks for your submission to #SayItHere!

~LastoftheWolves Feb 1, 2013 Hobbyist Writer

Can I add this to my pictures for the background on my desktop please?? This is just too amazing to resist. Either way, keep up the awesome work! I can't wait to see more!!

~Invoking Feb 2, 2013 Hobbyist Writer

Yes, you may~ Thank you very much <3

~LastoftheWolves Feb 2, 2013 Hobbyist Writer

THANKS! no problem!

~ivory-phills Jan 29, 2013 Student General Artist

This is so heartbreaking.

~NoOneKnowsWhereToGo Jan 29, 2013 Hobbyist

I like it and it makes me want to hug you <3 You're getting so good at picking a picture for the poems :3 I really like the background picture~ most of the leaves look healthy, but a few look like they are shrivelling up. I think it really suits and complements the poem

~alinsethme Jan 29, 2013 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

great description of a beautiful disaster

~tommyboywood Jan 29, 2013 Professional Writer

~babyvfan Jan 29, 2013

That just...blew me away

*ItachiXShana Jan 28, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

Great text and beautiful picture.
But like it was said before, it's hard to read because of the background.
