So Nobody Can TellI'm not that one in a million
Or the diamond in the rough
I'm just another person
Who's finally had enough

I can't stand it any longer
All the pain and misery
I can't be any stronger
This is all that I can be

I try so hard to fight it
And it's something I've never missed
I try so hard to hide it
These scars upon my wrist

Consequences from
Another day of hidden pain
But how much of that
Can one heart sustain

Without feeling all alone
And though I look alive
I'm so cold and on my own
I'm really dead inside

Somebody make it better
Please come and take all the hurt
Don't want to be like this forever
This isn't what I deserv

I've been waiting...Sacred moments pass
Life's sad echoes play
Come then dreaded chapter
This time I shall stay

Truth that I have run from
Come and have your day
For tolerant understanding
Is there any use to pray?

Momma don't disown me
I didn't plan to be this way
I think that I can face the world
If some loving words you'll say

I've spent forever waiting
But the moments never right
So sit down here and listen
I can't bear with you to fight...

Waiting.Just another lost soul
Still wondering who I am
Wondering
How do I fill this hole
That you left when we began

Searching for something
That I've barely ever known
Somewhere I belong
A place to call my home

No...

Home was with you
Wrapped in your arms all day
And I know it was you
Who pulled me out of harms way

But now I'm on my own
I really need you here
Tell me, where did you go
I'll make it perfectly clear

I'm never moving on
But I'm never looking back
I'm waiting right here for you
And that's a matter of fact.

Born To Walk AwayIt's so hard to take in
Everything, with no time to react
You've got me suffocating here
With this wall to my back

I can't move, I can't breathe
(Nothing left here for me)

So when you're here alone thinking
Where the hell was I at
I'll be over here reaching
For this knife in my back

I can't feel as I bleed
(Nothing left here for me)

And I'll cry as I plead
You don't have to leave

Why can't you just stay

But no-

You were born to walk away...

Still EmptyI try so hard to be
All of those things you need
I won't look inside of me
Cause I fear that
I'm still empty

Taking a moment, forget how to breathe
I'm my only opponent as I fall to my knees
Looking at you, all the things that I see
Could they really be true, or is it just me

There's nothing I won't do
To make sure this love is true
The doubt never crosses my mind
I know that you will be mine

Taking a breath and I'm holding it in
Take a step forward, let's let love begin
I've waited forever just to press to your lips
Holding you close as I taste your kiss

But I don't know how to
Be all those things you need
Cause when I lo

A Reason to LivePlease wipe your tears
Next time you cry
Stand up strong, revitalize

Cause when you feel
You've lost it all
And you're just about
To take the fall

When you think
That no one cares
When you wonder
Why life's not fair

Please remember
What's in my eyes
You're the reason
That I'm alive...

LoveLove...is something that can't be explained.

Love...is were you mess up and fight, but make up later.

Love...is never going to be 'Mr. Right' or 'Mrs. Right'.

Love...is the best feeling imaginable.

Love...is something that won't happen to me.

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...

Without YouOpen my eyes, to one more day of life
(I'm just slipping through)
But I don't try to do much more than survive
(It's pointless without you)
Just one more time, I'd like to say you're mine
(And let it be true)
I can't escape, this tormented fate, not without you

Now I'm searching
But my eyes are blind
There's nobody here
There's nothing to find

And I'm left standing
Broken in tears
My heart is gone
I'm losing my mind

I've always hated myself, and wished I didn't exist
(I know I'm imperfect)
Let myself be decieved, by the taste of your kiss
(Was this really worth it?)
On my wrist, another scar laid to rest on my skin
(Do the

I can't belongHave you ever had a breakdown
Seen your world just fall apart
Wished to God you'd die
While weeping in the dark

Sat and tried to take stock
Figure what your life is worth
Felt so useless and unloved
That you cursed your day of birth

That takes some getting over
If you can find the strength
Only those who've been there
Will be on my wavelength

That kind of hurt brings changes
It alters everything
Never can you be the same
A different song you'll sing

Some claim it makes you fragile
Others say it makes you strong
I simply have this feeling
That I don't belong

With new ears I hear
This dark worlds dreary chant
And no matter

You AreYou are the rain...
That washes away...
All of my pain...
Every day...

You are the sky...
On a cloudless black night...
So full of stars...
Makes me feel so alive...

You are the one...
The one I'll wait for...
Forever and always...
Of this, I am sure...

You are my life...
My one reason why...
I'll never give up...
I promise you this...
No matter what...

(And I can't thank you enough!)

SacrificeThe heart thats been so damaged
The child wounded and betrayed
The body racked and aching
The soul by adulterous love so flayed

Here stands the lonely man
For others still a rock
Though inside the teardrops fall
To the ticking of life's clock

Turns his face to beauty
And a love beyond compare
A dream of Life and deepest love
For this he will all dare

To take his Saviors hand
And stand within the breach
A sacrifice he gladly makes
If loves lesson he can teach...

Give Me Your PainWhen i see you suffer
I can't help but wish
Wish I can take it away
Place my hand on your shoulder
Let your pain channel from you to me
Take your pain away
Make it my own
To spare you
Spare you of what you don't deserve
Let me suffer
So that you may breath easy
The weight on the world no longer upon you
But on me now
I'll bare all of this
Just to see you smile
A smile worth all this anguish
I ask for nothing in return
Just for you to be happy
For love
Love i would cherish more than anything
That would be all i ask
I love you
Care for you
I wish i can take this pain from you

I am broken...There lie the broken pieces
Of the heart that can't be fixed
Well aimed the blows that broke it
Cruel the hurts that did transfix

I tried so hard to mend it
And others have as well
I told them that they'd healed it
They don't need to share my hell

I used to long to love again
To that end I gave my all
But this pile of broken pieces
Meant that I was doomed to fall

Now I have learned a lesson
My burden mine alone
Eros love's forbidden
Oh my solitary, lonely throne

A million broken pieces
I'm trying to live without a heart
Walking through a world
Of which I don't feel a part

But I'm learning to live with sadness
Seeing beaut

I'll Get To You..I see you standing there
I know you're fighting back the tears
You think that no one cares
And that nobody ever hears

Your silent cries
(Your asking why)
Your quiet lies
(Your alibis)

You stand aside and so alone
I wish that you had only known
That it's not fair please dry your tears
I'll always be the one right here

To hush your cries
(To answer why)
To make things right
(To say you're fine)

I see that you're still by yourself
And you still stand with no one else
But even though I'm not right there
Please don't think that I don't care

Because I do
(And this I swear)
I'll get to you
(No matter where...)

In Red InkI've given you everything
I brought you up from the mud
But you're still never satisfied
What do you want from me, blood?

I've never held back on you
I always told you what's what
So how else can I appease you
What do you want from me, blood?

I've only once ever lied to you
And that ended up with your tears in a flood
I've tried to apologize
What do you want from me, blood?

You say it's forgiven
But I can't believe that because
I can't forgive myself
And so I offer my blood.

What Am I?I don't want to see this deception
This is somebody else
This isn't my own reflection
Though I stand by myself

What I see isn't me
At least that's what I believe
Cause I cannot perceive
All these demons in me

Eyes so blood shot
With black flecks
My heart stops
It infects

Is this what I used to be
Was this once a part of me
I just cannot believe
That this demon is me

It rejects
And it spreads
Yes I've bled
From words that
That you've said

Why did I dig up the pieces
That were buried so deep
Now everybody can see this
This demon that's me

It's haunting
And scarring
It's taunting
And barring

A Reason to BreatheIf there's one thing
I don't need
It must be this feeling
That's building inside me
Corrodes and deprives me
Of all things I'm needing
My god, I'm still bleeding
Just barely still breathing

What do you mean
When you say that It seems

Like I only love you,
Cause you can inhale
I promised her once,
And guess what, I failed
Yes, your words hurt
But I know I deserve this
And every single scar
Thats been laid upon my wrist

Why can't you just let it be
You mean so much to me

Yes, I said that I loved her
I said that I'd hold her
It's hard to say goodbye
Cause I know that it's over
But you were always there

Reflecting AbsenceShould I care about everything you ever thought of me?
Would you care if I stopped being a part of things?
Obviously not,
I've given all I've got,
Never heard the words that I so desperately sought.

But that's okay
I understand that from day to day
You forget about me and all the words I say
They just fade away

Like our memories
It gets so much harder to breathe
You treat me like I'm some kind of disease
And maybe I am, just something to put you out of your misery

So please don't
Talk to me until I've been put under the knife for a labotomy
And eduacated in the ways of reverse telekinetic psychology
With all that I mean I want

Repercussions Of The HeartShe looks to the sky
And she begs for some guidance
Tears flow from her eyes
She's been answered with silence

No, please not another
Day living like this
Nobody cares for me
Or the scars upon my wrist

This isn't fair
This life that she's living
Why is she so scared
She's been so damn forgiving

I don't want another
Night living in bliss
Cause nobody loves me
They just see scars upon my wrist

I'm so sick of just watching
And wishing I could help
It's so painful to see
That she's living on through hell

I won't stand for another
Day living like this
I'm so sick of this pain
And these scars upon my wrist

To tell her I love

A Reason WhyI can't feel you next to me
Where you are, I'll never be
I've tried hiding all the pain
But it's too much, It's not a game

Why'd you have to hurt me so
You should've known I don't let go
I've said goodbye to sanity
I don't know what's happening

I just feel it pulsing through
Erasing all I thought I knew
Now there's nothing left but hurt
And everything I don't deserve

So tell me what I'm supposed to do
With all these feelings left for you
They're not comfort when I cry
I just need a reason why

But Nobody Knows

by ~Invoking, Dec 8, 2011, 2:44:02 PM
Literature / Poetry / Emotional / Free Verse

I can't tell my

Tears from the rain
The hurt from the pain
My life from this game
It's all just the same

And it hurts me so badly
That you're so mad at me
I can't stop me from breaking
My hands are still shaking

Knees are so weak
I can't stay on my feet
So I fall to the ground
And I hope to be found

It's this feeling inside me
That I've never missed
It corrodes and divides me
Puts scars on my wrist

It controls and divides me
Fuels the fire inside me
Destroys all I make
Creates all my hate

I'm not that one in a million
The diamond in the rough
I'm just one more person
Who's finally had enough

Of hiding from hurt
And dealing with pain
But nobody knows
Cause I cry in the rain

This is breath taking! Your poems are... making me speechless, because I love how you put emotions into them! The rhyming is perfect, because It still carries the topic! I love your poems.. :3

I could totally see this as a song. It moves like one. You did a great job with the wording and rhythm.

~Invoking Dec 8, 2011 Hobbyist Writer

Thank you very much <3 doesn't matter if you read the old one or not. I just wanted to see if I could take the critique I got on it and make it better using that criticism. Just gotta wait for the critic now..
