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…

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

A

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...

The PastI'm looking towards the past.
Help me turn away.
The memories are racing fast.
I wish I didn't remember that day…

I'm searching harder for the past.
To make old habits okay.
Help me turn away.
I'm slowly returning to that day

They've made me forget.

I'm looking towards the past.
Help me turn away.
The memories are racing fast.
I wish I didn't remember that day…

I'm searching harder for the past.
To make old habits okay.
Help me turn away.
I'm slowly returning to that day

When suicide was okay.

And I held on in the back of my mind
Without even realizing
And I can't hold my breath no longer
No matter how hard I tr

I FellI fell down into a hole of despair,
and felt a pain that no one can bear.
Lost in the dark and stuck without a way,
I feel less pain the longer I stay.
My feelings and emotions are slowly numbing,
my hopes and my dreams are already crumbling.
I fell down and now I can't get back up,
now all I can see is a half empty cup.
Lost my strength and lost my will,
all I can do now is just stay still.
I look up to see the bright eyes,
staring at me while my soul slowly dies.
One step and another yet I still can't see the light,
another step, and I fall back into the night.
Here is a darkness I cannot stand,
my hope is holding on by the l

EmptyEverything is so wrong
I just wish I could fix it
Been broken for so long
I'm in little pieces
It hurts to wake up
It hurts to want to die
Going to bed thinking of
How you're going to survive
Another day, another year
Another cut, another tear
More heartache, more pain
A black cloud pouring acid rain
Filling my thoughts, my head
Melting what's inside
Until there's nothing left

Anxiety Anxiety

My heart drops straight down,
my stomach goes cold.
My brain is still processing
what I've just been told.

Worst case scenarios
run through my head,
What if you're hurt--
Or what if you're dead?

I call your cell phone
at least five times,
I can't deal with this!
And dead goes the line.

I pace the floor faster,
I walk all around.
Tears fall from my eyes.
And I drop to the ground.

I can't deal with this..
Just pick up the phone!
I try one more time,
and you answer, "Hello?"

My grief turns to joy,
then right into anger.
"I was worried, you idiot!
Why wouldn't you answer?!"

You're f

Good byeGood bye to the love we once shared,

Good bye to the girl who once cared,

Good bye to the nights you held me close,

Good bye to the dreams we were so engrossed,

Good bye to the friendship we had,

Good bye to the hope i once had,

Good bye to everything I loved,

I feel like Ive fallen from heaven above,

In to a hell I can't leave,

Good bye dear friend,

I set you free,

HopeHope is just the lies
I tell myself
Hope tells me tomorrow
Will be better then today
So I don't cry myself to sleep
Hope whispers that next time
I'll do things right
When I only make it worse
Hope says that everything will be alright
When I know it won't be
Hope promises that there is a perfect
Person for me and that one day
I'll find that person
Hope shouts that one day
I'll do great things
And will always be rememebered
So that I'll never truely die
Hope sings of a better place
When there isn't one
Hope mocks that it could be worse
But most of the time
I'd do anything to not be me
Hope is merely a lie
But that's oka

What's happening to meKeeping on hiding,
all of the lies.
Trying and fighting,
all of the cries.

covering the scars,
hiding the cuts.
Now only the stars,
know I am nuts.

Someone out there,
that can see,
what's happening to me.
Something for me,
I can do,
to keep it cool.
you'll think I'm a fool.

Another mistake,
know what I'll do.
Piece of skin will break,
but not cause of you.

Don't want attendion,
that's why I hide.
It's an addiction,
a constant fight.

'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

A Tragic TaleI sit here and listen to the chattering birds
The sweetest sound that my ears ever heard
The sun has risen to cast off nights veil
It's days like this that remind me of my tale
Heart-breaking in nature, I'll relate it to you
This tale is of tragedy, and yes, it is true

There once was a man as happy could be
He'd sing and he'd laugh most cheerfully
He was strong, he was steady and smart
He had but one woman who lay claim to his heart
To him the most beloved person, his wife
She was his everything, his meaning to life
Seemingly from nowhere, his lover fell ill
And felt deaths hand, a breath-taking chill
And try as he might he coul

Feather FragileHer heart is feather fragile
Hidden so deep inside
Fractured and hard to handle
Her broken lullaby

Ghostly words echoing through her
A coldness like winter
Any moment may undo her
Lonely and splintered

Clouds heavy with the tears of an angel
That was caught and is hopelessly tangled
In the web of lies that the world has weaved
A fabrication she thought she believed
Her halo slips and it falls to the cold ground
Shatters asunder; not a single sound
Her tears soon follow and they washed away
Any little hope that might have remained

Her heart, so feather fragile
Behind a lock and a matching key
Nobody will ever handle
This hea

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

On LoveLove not forever
Love for an eternity
Because it's longer

My 'To Do' List.by ~Invoking

Literature / Poetry / Emotional / Visual & Found Poetry

©2013 ~Invoking

So this is something new. I think I'll start writing my poems like this. This one was just an abstract practice round. If I decide to continue doing this for my poems, the backgrounds and font will pertain more to the poem itself.

Please, let my know your thoughts on this piece. Anything that you feel could be improved (besides my misspelling of 'somebodies' ene), I would love to know. Thank you <3

This is my 'To Do' list. What's yours?

I would like to thank Google Images for the background. Thank you Google. You make all of our lives easier <3
