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...'

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

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…

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

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

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

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

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

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...

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

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

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 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...

The Secrets These Walls Hold - LightYou ignite the light and remove the darkness that prevails,
You gave me the strength to accomplish what I had failed.
And when I really tried and put forth my all,
You helped me to look past every one of my flaws...

I no longer lay awake unsure if it's night or day;
The memories we make brighten the crushing darkness.
I've made peace with my mistakes, they no longer cause me pain.
All because you believe there's no way I can be heartless.

You were the only reason I had left to be saved;
To fill the hole in my heart that would eventually be my grave.
It's amazing you make me feel the same way that I did before;
Like a million white

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

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.

Four Words I've Been Dying to Tell You...I'm nothing without you...

These Flames

by ~Invoking, Aug 23, 2012, 1:49:31 PM
Literature / Poetry / Emotional / Free Verse

I 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

And I find, these flames attractive
Burning brightly, shining in your eyes
I'm right here, and I finally have you
And from the ashes we'll rebuild our lives...
