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...

One More Mistake.With every word that I say
With every smile I fake
Every moment I live
I'm making one more mistake...

All the tears that I've cried
Have fallen unnoticed
No matter how hard I try
Nobody will know this...

Every friend that I've made
Everything I create
With every door that I open
I'm making one more mistake...

I hate what I've done
And this person that I've become
I hate these scars on my wrist
Is there no ending to this...?

With every beat of my heart
With every breath that I take
Every day I wake up
Is just another mistake...

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

AshesI only watch as the world I tried so hard to create
Is devoured by passionate fire entombed in my heart
I breathe in the ashes as it all burns away
Until the last desperate flames are consumed by the dark

I gaze at the ruins with new eyes and perception.
Wondering when it was that I lost all direction...

Where exactly did all this go amiss?
Was I decieving myself when I thought more of us?
You left me here, now you're just something to miss
But I can't forget how you destroyed all my trust

Who is to blame for this tragedy now?
Can nobody hear as I scream my heart out?!

Don't mind me as I lay silently dying
The fire inside me has

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

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

The In-BetweenStuck in the in-between,
Straddling the lines of love and hate,
Contradicting the absolutes,
With resolutions to try harder;
Try for a next time that may never come.
Suppressing innermost agony,
Attempting to acquire the inherent desires.
Deflecting the reality of now,
To avoid the question:
"What happens next ?"
Blinding the mind with hopes,
Filling the heart with 'maybe',
Plummeting the soul into anarchy.
Yet, the need provides sustenance,
The torment morphs into torture,
Seconds age the body like years.
Absence provokes a monster from beneath,
Rage entwines with Jealousy,
As memories of the unforgiven bursts forth.
On an

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

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

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

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

Nobody's ThereThump, Thump, goes my heart,
I glance up and see a speck of dust fly up into the air.
Time goes tick tock, tick tock,
But nobody's there to hear it.

I walk out into the sunshine,
The sun pours heat onto my deprived body.
A glimmer of hope shoots up into the air,
But nobody's there to see it.

I stroll over to the cafe,
They're cooking up a surprise for me.
A plethora of food, the scent tickles my nose,
But nobody's there to smell it.

It begins to get cold,
I don't have a jacket in my possession.
I wish I had warmth in my hands,
But nobody's there to hold it.

My birthday is today,
I return from my journey to home to enjoy my ca

There is no pattern in pi
The number just came out of the sky
There are many who've dared
And frustration they've shared
It will surely make your brain fry

A pit with no end, unconquered and dry,
So, many a person will try
In a number so vast and rare,
Though there are some who don't even care
About the wonderful magical number of pi

The 'Me' I Really AmI'm staring into a mirror
Into the depths of my own eyes
It's never been any clearer
That I can't even recognize

This person in place of where my reflection should be!
You can't possibly tell me that this person is really me!

I look up to the sky
And I pray for some kind of guidance
I sit alone listening
But all that I hear is silence

Tell me where have you gone, or where you could even be!
Why aren't you here now, 'cause you're all that I really need!

I've looked inside of myself
I've tried to be someone else
I've tried just living a lie
But that still didn't help

I cannot stand who I am or the person that I've become!

The Way It IsBroken promises flowing down my wrist
A last breath exhaled and the moments missed
Another heartbeart stops turned to nothingness
Is this the way that it has to be

All you ever gave me were open wounds
And time after time I played the fool
I gave up everything to fill your needs
But not anymore
This is the way that it has to be

Another lie trusted into me
Another shattered and broken dream I see
Living through life without a happy memory
Is this the way that it has to be

Unfortunately
Whenever I see you
I get lost in dreams
That will never come true

I wish they would
Oh, god, I wish they would
But I know that they won't

UntitledThe moon
Hiding behind a sky
Turned dark in this frame of mind
Shedding light, now I'll make you mine
But I lied, cause we're out of time

Suffer everyday
Feeling just the same
Try to find a way

Out

Maybe someday
I'll end up just like you and
Run away, from it all
Creating my tomb

And I can hear them now
Those words that I'll say
"Darling, I'm sorry I'm leaving so soon"
And I'll disappear, yeah, I'll leave you here
Just like the moon

The rain
Cascading to the ground
In a tidal wave
It comes crashing down

I am not alright
Can you here me cry
As I try to find

That's how long you said we'd be together...

Forever.
That's what you answered when I asked "How long will you love me?"
...remember?

Forever.
I tried everyday, but you never put forth the effort...

Forever.
That's the only answer you ever gave to me...

But...
I guess forever isn't as long as it used to be...

Looking For The HorizonI'm so tired of this regret
I'm so tired of this disease
I'd give it all to forget
Everything you thought of me

I'm so tired of all these thoughts
And the pain that each one brings
But they're all of you I've got
But they're my terminal disease

I'm so sick of being broken hearted
So tired of it all
I'm so sick of being torn apart so
Don't catch me as I fall

I don't want to feel your hand
Gripped between my own
There are things that I don't understand
Just leave me here alone

I don't want to hear your voice
Ringing between my ears
Not if I've got a choice
I'd rather listen to my tears

Because If I don't go on

Damaged Beyond RepairDamaged beyond repair
Broken but no one cares
I was convinced that
I felt something that
Never really was there

I'm fighting a losing war
My heart is bleeding and still sore
Weren't we something more
I guess not because you're
Walking out of the door

You're not looking back
Not even a passing glance
Over your shoulder
I know I lost my last chance
This time I know that it's over

I had to tell myself
To tell myself you're gone
And it will take forever
Before I could move on

Because I'm damaged beyond repair
Broken but I don't care
I convinced myself that
I felt something that
Only I thought was there

Where Is The Light?

by ~Invoking, Mar 4, 2012, 11:36:31 AM
Literature / Poetry / Emotional / Free Verse

Where is the light that you promised to me?!
I thought it was clear that I needed you here!
I feel so alone, so lost and confused...
I'm stumbling blindly, don't know what to do!

Where is the light that stopped all of my tears?
I stay up all night 'cause I can't sleep with these fears...
Where are you now that I'm falling apart?!
You left nothing here but this hole in my heart!

Where is the light when I need it the most..?
Why did it leave and where did it go?
What did I do to lose all that I've known...?
How can I live when I've lost all my hope?!

Maybe it's me who has misunderstood!
If I could fix my mistakes then believe me I would!
You're the piece of my heart that will make me complete!
But I can't hold to your lies and deceit!

I may look alive but I'm dying inside!
Dealing with all of this pain that I hide!
I wish that you couldve had the decency...
To at least put me out of my misery!

Where is the light when I need it so badly..?
Why do I try to be something I'm not?
What can I do when this pain is so maddening...?
Just suffer alone and waste my last shot?!

Where is the light that's supposed to be there?!
Can nobody hear me, does nobody care..?
Now I'm alone left to drown in despair...
Nobody knows or is even aware...

That I'm tired of coming home just to fight
I know that you lie when you say it's alright
That these scars that I bear are hidden from sight

That I'm stranded in darkness, a blanket of night
Can nobody hear as I silently cry
For someone to show me the way to the light?

Idea is not originally mine; I drew this piece out of my good friend ~EmoRapunzle's poem of the same title. I've been working on it all weekend, and I really hope that I captured the same desperation that she wrote it with...

~FitchFavreau Jul 18, 2012 Student Writer

It'd be totally awesome to see what this would sound like in a song.. anything from a Bright Eyes raspy sadness, or like a La Dispute angry cry. Or like a Circa Survive kinda deal with Anthony Green's voice. OMG NO, Dallas Green could sing this too.

You know what, I'd love to see all those bands cover this poem, I don't hear much about bands covering poems, but I know it's been done sometimes.

Awesome stuff!

~heavenlytouch Mar 9, 2012 Hobbyist Writer

Why desperation ? I know that you can write a cheerful one. Anything that would make your poems better.

~heavenlytouch Mar 9, 2012 Hobbyist Writer

I like this poem !

~ExtravagantVulture Mar 4, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

I really like this piece. Your peoms would make great songs.

~EmoRapunzle Mar 4, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

I love it... Definately better <3

~Invoking Mar 4, 2012 Hobbyist Writer

I'm glad you think so, but it would not exist if you hadn't shown me yours first :3
