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

Love is Just a Word Until Someone Comes Along...Lay awake, I'm robbed of sleep
I hear the raindrops tap the street
Forgetting all I've fallen for, I can't go on
I can't be more

Hidden behind tapestries
Adorned with painful memories
Slowly realize what you've done, I've lost it all
I've come undone

A fallen angel at your feet
A broken mess at your mercy
Heartless in my time of need, you walked away
You watched me bleed

Holding out for fate unknown
A missing piece, an empty home
Living life with no one there, I know I'm lost
But I don't care

Within the boundaries of myself
Crying out for someone's help
Wishing for, with all my heart
They'll stop the pain and light the dar

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…

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

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

HurricaneI 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...

The Secrets These Walls Hold - DarkShutter the light and let the darkness prevail.
If no one can see then who will know that I failed?
I swear I really tried and that I gave it my all;
I'm painfully aware of every one of my flaws...

I simply lay awake unsure if it's night or day,
Covered and consumed by the weight of this crushing darkness.
I hide from my mistakes and I hope that they'll go away,
Believing myself when I say that I'm really heartless...

Now more than ever I need to feel like I did before;
Like a million white roses missing none of their thorns.
You were the only reason I had left to be saved,
To fill the hole in my heart that was becoming my grave...

Soon EnoughI know things have been kind of rough
Though I've put forth my best
It's just never enough
And I'm sorry...

To me, things have felt so unreal
I can't believe you've stolen my heart
But I love the way that you make me feel
And it kills me that we're so far apart

I wish more than anything that you could be here
To kiss all my scars and wipe all of these tears
And I'm sorry I can't be much more
You know I'm a mess, and I've told you before
That still I promise I'll forever be yours...

I'll be there with you soon enough
You're all that I've needed
And you're all I think of
So don't worry...

To me, this all happened so fast
It's

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...'

Please Come Home...I've not grown used to this...
I'm not used to being alone...
And I've had enough of it...
For too long I've been without you...

I have so much to say...
Will I ever get the chance...?
I long for our forever...
To stay lost in our romance...

And I've not grown used to this!
I'm not used to being alone!
I miss our everything!
(Darling!!)
Won't you please, come
Home?

I miss our everything...
The warmth of your embrace...
The way you'd hold me...
The way you made me feel safe...

I long to feel you once more...
And taste the sweet of your kiss...
I want how it was just before...
We were seperated like this...

Cause I'll not

Cowards Way OutDid you really think,
That taking the cowards way out,
Would prove anything,
Except all of our worst fears?

Did you even think,
About the ones that you have now?
And the pain that you'd bring,
If you were to leave them all here...?

Do you really think,
You're life is just so horribly unbearable,
That you need to take this knife,
And do something you know is terrible?!

How many times,
Have I told you it isn't worth it?
How selfish of you,
To expect your life to be picture perfect.

'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

Since You've Been GoneYou take my hand and you whisper to me,
"Darling, I love you and I promise I'll never leave..."
I look to you and without missing a single beat,
I say, "You were my missing piece, now I'm finally complete."

An involuntary smile spreads out across your lips,
And I can't help but smile as I lean in to taste your kiss...
Then the frame stops and it's stuck on this same scene;
My nights have been so haunted with the recurrence of this dream.

I always hope that I'll wake up and this dream will become true,
But I'm so tired of only dreaming...
Darling, I miss you...

[Chorus]
And since you've been gone I've been wasting away,
Just tryin

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

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

ConflictionWas it your intention
To never mention
Any of these confessions
The tension
So easily torn
With another wave
Of broken redemption

Confliction
A matter of contradiction
And worse, inhibitions

Of the heart
Tell you the truth
And watch you fall apart
Or keep the lie a secret
Hidden in the dark

Complete and utter destruction
Of something that was still
Under construction
It's somethin

When you can wake up
To the sensation
Of incarceration
In a self created isolation

Am I Finally Good Enough?I wiped away your tears
Stayed up with you all night
I fought away your fears
To make sure you were alright

I was the one
Who always stood by your side
And
I was always there
To be the one you confide in

I moved mountains
When nobody else could
I held you in my arms
When nobody else would

Am I finally good enough
To be worthy of your love...?

Or is there something more
That you're still waiting for...?

Thanks To YouBreaking my heart
Like it's something you own
You tear it apart
Can't you leave me alone

I'm done with all this
I'm finished with you
See this cut on my wrist
This blood is on you

You left me so broken
And shattered to the core
I'll never be open
I've closed all of my doors

I hide in my dreams
But they're tormented too
I can't find a safe place
All because of you

Let me have peace
Please let me live life
I've fallen to my knees
And I cry here tonight

All thanks to you
I can no longer live right
Just go through the motions
Just trying to survive

My Last BreathBreathe in
Slowly
Heart beat
Going

Taking my last breath
My last breath of air
Promise me someone
Just promise you care

Falling one last time
Collapse to the ground
I tried to hold on but
You're way to far now

Taking my last breath
My last breath of life
Please somebody promise
Just say I'm alright

Breathe in
Slowly
Eyes are
Closing

Everything To MeCan't you see that you are everything to me
Everything to me

I hate the way I feel
When I see you in the halls
Like nothing else is real
Only you and me, these walls
Then I come back to reality
As I hear your girlfriends call
It's a crushing blow to me
I'm trying so hard not to fall

I hate just standing to the side
Only wishing you were mine
I hate feeling like I'm so confined
Why do you have to be so blind
I can't make it anymore obvious
Than I've already made this
I fucking love you more than she does
I already know of this because

You are everything to me
Baby, can't you see
You are all I really need
I want to be your

Waiting For DaysWhen all, is said
And done
When truth, and lies
Are one

That'll be the day
When my heart doesn't break
The day that everything
Is gonna be okay

The day that the skies don't seem so gray
Is the day that will
Never come

When all, the pain
Is gone
When you've felt, this way
Too long

That'll be the day
When you're on the right track
You forget about your past
And vow you're never looking back

The day that your life seems like it's going right
Is the day that will
Never come

Part Mirage, Part Nightmare

by ~Invoking, Aug 19, 2012, 7:48:56 AM
Literature / Poetry / Emotional / Free Verse

I 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 lips, gently caressing mine
I miss your touch, I miss your laugh
I miss so much, that I know that I can't have

'Cause when you're gone
My heart beats are few
It's broken in two
And so empty now without you

Where have you gone? Are you coming back?
I can't go on...
My vision has faded to black...

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

For me...

Firstly, thank you

And yeah, I try to make them easy to relate to. People like easy to relate to x3

~Contradictory55 Aug 19, 2012 Student Writer

It's beautiful and heart-breaking and makes me want to say that people live in separate bodies and can still survive, maybe even live again, after a heartbreak.

~Invoking Aug 19, 2012 Hobbyist Writer

I'd say that that's a pretty good way to put it. Very well said, my good person

~Contradictory55 Aug 19, 2012 Student Writer

Thank you very much, my great poet
