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

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…

Savior.I have this darkness deep inside me,
It's what influenced this writing.
I can't control it, I can't fight it,
Barely know it, and can't hide it.

I'm just a mess with no ambition;
So much less than I envisioned.
How much more can I endure?
I don't know, I'm not too sure...

I'm not myself when I'm alone,
And yet I find I'm on my own.
I'm like a lock without a key,
There is no perfect fit for me!...

You're not alone.
Don't think like that.
Pick your head up.
I believe in you.
You can do it.
I love you...

Are you here to prove me wrong?
To make me see the brighter dawn?
With this darker side, this part of me,
How can you love

But Nobody KnowsI 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 d

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...

Never Bow Down. (Failure In Denial)Your poisoned words are your weapon of choice,
Paralyzing me with just the sound of your voice.
Whispering your lies and getting under my skin,
But I can see right through you 'cause you're so paper thin!

Are you really so heartless?
Behind your lies is there any truth?
Can you tell I don't want this!?
I will never bow down to you!

You say across my skin is where my short comings compile,
And that my scars remind you I'm a failure in denial!
No matter what you've always had the upper hand,
Holding me under for reasons none understand!

GOD DAMN!!

Are you really so heartless?
Behind your lies is there any truth?
Can you tell I d

'Goodbye' Isn't Always...You don't know my secret pain
The pain I hide from every day
Every smile fades away
Etched in every word I say
But to you I seem okay

Well, that's just on the surface
Nothing about me is perfect
It's safe to say that I'm worthless
I've got no plan nor a purpose

And I can't begin to explain how it feels to be ignored
By the ones you love, by the ones that you care for
It hurts more than you could ever imagine
And I'm not having this anymore

You burrow under my skin when you assume that I'm okay
That I've never had to deal with any sort of real pain
I've been through more than you could ever forget
This experience alone is solel

Optimistically PessimisticThere's broken
Then there's shattered to the core
There's saying I don't care
Or I don't love you anymore

There's hopeless
And theres frustratingly out of reach
There are lessons left to learn
But those lessons they'll never teach

There are promises
Then there are hollow and empty lies
There are moments that you treasure
And moments you want to die

There's lonliness
And there's tired of going on
There is waiting for forever
But forever will never come...

Acceptance.Friends all stand in front of me...
Laughing, joking carelessly...
I hide my arms so they can't see...
What it is I've done to me...

And though I try to hang around...
They often leave me feeling lost...
What will it take just to be found?
How much more will my joy cost..?

('Cause I don't live, I just survive)
(Among the crowd, I'm ostracized)
(I can not be indemnified)
(I fell too hard, I broke this time)

My parents always yell at me...
Like I won't get it unless they scream...
But I never do know what they mean...
Why do they have to smother me?!

I've got my back pressed to the fences...
I'm sorry that I'm such a hinderance

HauntedI hear this haunted voice; it whispers lies
It keeps me up at night; it plays my fears
Allowing no sleep for these tired eyes
Telling me things that I don't want to hear

Am I really heartless or am I numb?
Is this simply darkness of am I blind?
Try to claw my way back into the sun
Leave a bloody trail for others to find

Following the sound of a lonely heart
Brought only false hope that I might be freed
I was led astray in the howling dark
The one way out is through the blood I bleed

I've given up hope of living in peace
I only wish now that my heart would cease

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

Part Mirage, Part NightmareI try to fight, the feelings I, hide inside
And the piosonus thoughts they bring
But darling, they're all that's left
They're all of you, that I've kept
You're still all I want, you're all I need
You're everything, that I believe

But when you're gone
My heart threatens to collapse
Because it's broken in two
And it's missing its other half

Please don't leave, please stay with me...
I can't breathe...
I'm on the edge of insanity...

Part mirage, part nightmare...
Please come back!
I just need to know you're there...

For me...

I know that I've, said I'm fine
That everything, is alright
But darling, I miss the feeling
Of your

Tears to RainWhen you cry
I'll pick up the pieces
Here's my heart
I want you to keep this
So you'll be fine
Let me take the fall
For you...

It's only just begun
It only hurts just once
I'll shield you from the pain
Till all the tears you cry turn to rain...

Every word I speak is true...
Every single 'I love you...'

To Be NumbI gaze through the glass
To the last rays of light
And the long shadows cast
As dusk turns into night

Hands cling to the chain link
Still struggle to stand
I know what you may think
And I know what I am

A broken man
Still stealing these breaths
Because I can

I tried to hold on
If not but for your sake
But you walked away
Left my heart here to ache

Now it just
Reluctantly beats
It's this feeling inside me
And my heart is its keep

It's a feeling that
Is known only to some
Not everyone knows
What it's like to be numb...

These FlamesI find, the flames attractive
As I watch this city burn away
So close, I almost had it
I lost it all when I turned away

My heart is full of broken dreams
Shattered hopes and memories
Everything that causes pain
Like a drop of acidic rain

The wind blows and it carries with it
Whispered words and the sorrows hidden
Sanctuary among the ashes
But the arson has one more match lit

And I find, the flames attractive
As I watch this city burn away
Was so close, I almost had it
I lost it all when you turned away

I regret every single moment
Without you with your hand in mine
I regret never even knowing
You loved me the entire time

Painful MemoryWhy are you scared?
It's like you don't know where you are.
You take it step by step but never get very far.
Look at these scars!
How dare you say that they're worthless?!
Keep your opinions to yourself...
And stop pretending you're fucking perfect!

Oh!

Like the words I never spoke;
Like this dying flame of hope;
Like this web of lies we weaved;
That we both thought we believed...

You're nothing more to me,
Than a painful memory...

It must be hard!
Keeping up with all of your lies,
That you hide the truth behind as you're waiting for it to die!
Look in my eyes!
How dare you say I'm without a purpose?!
Just look at all thes

Stuck In A TragedyI'm not that one in a million or a diamond in the rough;
I've never thought myself as even being just enough...
I often find myself asking me why I'm here;
The answer always comes in the form of a falling tear...

The sunset streaks behind walls of concrete.
Daylight dies like the fire inside of me...
Time is slipping by as the sky line begins to darken,
While I'm left standing here trying to be forgotten...

My whole life's,
Been stuck in a tragedy!
Not once do I remember being happy with me!

I scream,
Violently to the heavens!
But all that I hear,
Are the echoes of all my questions!

I can feel my own despair as it thickens the

Nicht Ohne Sie....I don't know how to start this...

Just knowing that you're leaving casts my heart into darker shadows
Love has always been, for me, an uphill struggle and losing battles
It's like a book without an ending, you took my heart out of it's cage
And I don't want to put it back cause I don't want to turn this page...

If I could find me a miracle that could write us another chapter
I wouldn't hesitate a second cause I want this forever after
But life isn't a happy ending, there's not always light after dark
The only thing that breaks the silence is the sound of my breaking heart

This life will never be the same, without you here beside m

Document 5Every day I wake up is like a painful memory
One that never goes away not even if I make believe
Every night I make it through only makes the hurt worse
Every second is my suffering, every breath I take, the curse

I've wasted all these moments trying so hard to pretend
That there's something still inside me that allows my heart to mend
It's like the air I breathe attempts at suffocating me
Until I collapse onto the the ground and my chest gives one last heave

And I try so hard to be, beyond the shadow of a doubt
The person there beside you that you can't live without
I know I'm nothing more than the dirt beneath my feet
But that do

Hurricane

by ~Invoking, May 21, 2012, 6:52:40 PM
Literature / Poetry / Emotional / Traditional Fixed Forms

I don't really know
How all of this came to be
When I already know
She can do better than me

I feel like she's the desert
And whenever I hold her hand
I realize that makes me
Nothing more than a grain of sand

I can't help but ask myself
How is it that she's with me?
I'm just a mess when I'm alone
And I'm fucking up constantly

She's amazing...
In every way, shape, and form
Like the calm of the night
Or like the eye of a storm

(And if that storm were to break...)

I always have the thought
That if people were rain
l would be just a drop
And she'd be the hurricane...
