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

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...

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

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...'

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

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...

Deafening Voices...Why does every single day
Seem to stay the same
Shade of lifeless grey
Can nothing ease the pain?

When I see your face
My heart begins to race
I long for your embrace
I'd kill for just a taste
(Of your sweet kiss)

But when I look around
You're nowhere to be found
I hear the maddening thoughts
As they begin to sound
Off as

[Chorus]
Deafening voices
Inside of my head
Whispering words
That are best left unsaid

Destructive emotions
Locked inside my mind
They chip me away
Just a little at a time
[End Chorus]

There have always been
Things I've held inside
That I wish I could confess
Or just get off of my mind

When I he

God of SuicideGod of Suicide:
You have trapped me in a nightmare,
Which there is no allowance for awake.
But it all turns out to be fair,
Due to all nails and a stake,
I've managed to receive.
Each thud of the hammer and each gash tells a different story.
I will just lay here and prepare my casket.
All of the lies and secrets stored in the closet,
Will come flying out and maybe my followers will find where to fit,
After years of hiding,
And secretly dying.
Death is the beautiful obscure truth,
And life is just the the hideous lie.
These darkened dreams you call sick sooth,
Us and is how we get by.
I will just lay here and prepare my casket.
All of the lie

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.

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!!

Stenciled Smiles on Paper HeartsI don't like to feel this way
There must be something I can say
Cause I hate just watching you
When I know the pain you're going through

Listen…

You're not alone; I've been where you are
Contemplating where I'll place my next scar
Hiding razor kisses underneath long sleeves
It doesn't make it better; nothing is achieved

Believe me…

All you'll earn are the scars you've got and
The lesson learned is the lesson forgotten
You feel like no one's there, no one cares what you do
Let me put it to you straight: That is never true

I Know…

I was shunned, pushed away many times before
Then I realized it was I who had closed the door

Star Light, Star Bright...Star light, star bright, if I make a wish right now
Will it come true tonight?
If you don't mind, if it's alright, I don't want to ask for much
Just the feeling of her touch…
But if you could, only if you would, bring her here to me
It'd be better company than this decorated tree
That's only drowning out the misery of being all alone

Star light, star bright, if I make a wish right now
Will you hear my whispered cry?
If you don't mind, if it's alright, it's in no way a demand
I just want to hold her hand…
But if you could, only if you would, place me by her side
Underneath your watchful gaze for the Christmas holidays
I don't need

Roses Are Forgivingby ~Invoking

Literature / Poetry / Emotional / Visual & Found Poetry

When you get into an arguement with the one you love and it ends bitterly, it's hurts. But you both think that you are the one who is rght. So you both hurt. You both of you hurt and, sometimes, it is a meaningless pain that plagues your body and mind. But why suffer through that just to make a point that will only be forgotten? Why not just be the bigger person? Why not just forgive them and apologize..? It is one thing to love someone, but an entirely different thing to be loved by someone.

This is another adapted poem from my gallery. "I'm Sorry, Darling." [link] I retitled to "Roses Are Forgiving" to be more appropriate. Perhaps some of you will appreciate this: By presenting somebody with a rose, it is socially defined as a presentation of love, compassion, caring, sympathy, companionship, and so forth. That is why I chose this title and this picture. Because Roses Are For Giving.

The font that I used is called "Beyond Wonderland".

Thank you~

Also still love this one, but this one hits home a little harder...

~KuraiTenshiV Jan 23, 2013 Hobbyist

Your way with words hits hard, in very tender places. Don't ever change that, you have provoked emotion in myself that I thought burried deep.
Thank you
