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…

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...

Crossed The Line"Crossed The Line"

She told him "no" many instances before
At first he listened, but not this time
Her words were sounds that he ignored
Because finally, he crossed the line

At first it seemed like every date
He was sweet and kind, holding doors
But even still at any rate
She found herself screaming on the bedroom floor

Because he heard, but didn't listen
Only hearing what he wanted to hear
And by pure hormones he was driven
While her pleas fell on deaf's ears

At first it started out innocent
Holding hands, kissing, locking lips
But soon it was no longer ambivalent
Once his hands swayed around her hips

He tried crawling them

'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

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

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

Blossom"Blossom"

Beyond the cherry oaks and evergreen backwoods
Past the landscapes of emerald trees and creeks of water
On top of a hill surrounded by mud and soil
Lies an innocent flower as delicate and quiet as the wind

I planted this flower from the seedlings in my garden
Carefully cultivating this flower to reflect the beauty of nature
But I soon knew my flower outgrew its surroundings
This particular flower needed ample room to grow

At first the roots resisted, I had to tug to set them free
Scared of the storms and fires that could potentially be
The unknown wilderness is a scary place I must admit
Regardless my garden was not a comfortable

Maiden By The Bay“Maiden By The Bay”

Every now and then across the water at night
A lady can be seen dressed in long silky white
She dances along the water as elusive as a bird
Her beauty so astounding I can not put into words
Her movements so graceful they shift the moon’s release
On the gravity of the earth; every crevice and crease
If the world were to fall apart around her piece by piece
Her dancing would never cease but only increase

And I wait for every day to end so I can say
I have seen this great maiden by the bay

The flowers enveloping her sing in harmony with the bees
The trees bend their barks and their branches tease
The ne

Why I Write"Why I Write"

I tried to cover my darkest parts
With compound words and works of art
But no matter how much I change
My destiny will remain the same

Writing down elusive nightmares
Drawing monsters and evil to share
In the midst of the night during rain and hail
I found a way to release pain and exhale

I found a way so when I'm alone
To the eyes of others I can show
Hoping maybe to receive some compassion
For all the misery and woes that have happened

Isn't that why we paint?; isn't that why we write?
Trying to find solace in the air of the night
While others look on and may be amused
I continue confused; my soul has been bru

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

Morning Light“Morning Light”

These hills that I’ve traversed
Within each and every verse
Have led me to believe
In all the things I see
And where I am right now
I could never imagine how
I have gotten myself to stand
On my own two feet again

I thought I could never dream
Or at least in what I mean
Or maybe this is fake
And these thoughts I can not shake
So sad and unaware
Bad thoughts are always there
Floating in my head
Taunting me instead

I don’t want to be naïve
And believe in what I see
But this thing called pressure
Is more than I can measure
Anxiety never disappears
Even though the ones I fear
Have finally gone away
I st

Missing Pieces.I am a missing piece. Something that someone needs.
But at the same time, I feel so incomplete.
I’ve wandered way too far, wondered for far too long
Am I a missing piece? Or a piece that won’t belong?

Is it possible I’m damaged and not missing at all?
That I’m just as dysfunctional as everybody else?
Pretending to be perfect never softened a single fall.
But neither did admitting that you’re broken and flawed.

A broken missing piece. Is that all I’m meant to be?
There is no master plan that includes the likes of me.
Being all alone, it’s a hurt that will not cease.
A hundred thousand years from now

ListenCan you hear me
Listen
Listen to my cries
Hear me
Feel my pain
See your neglect
Understand what you've put me through
Hear me roar
My anger bouncing off the wall
My sadness ringing in
Your deaf ears
Can't you hear me
Do you just not care
Listen to me
Listen
Don't walk away
I'm not finished
If only you'd hear me
If only I could make you see
Why won't you listen
Why don't you care
Do you not see the tears
I'm shedding
You're the one that's made to care
It's your job
Why can't you just listen

Maybe you can't hear me
Yeah
That's it
I'm just not loud enough

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

Am I Alright?All the hurt I try so hard to hide
Is so much more than what's inside
I'm feeling less and less alive
It may be too late to decide

If I'm alright...

All the pain I try to push away
Keeps coming back in stronger waves
I'm feeling more and more deprived
It may be too late to decide

If I
(Should get on my knees)
And try
(Just try to believe)
That, I'm, alright

All the anger that I just ignore
Is building up into a storm
I feel like I have tried my best
I'm done trying to decide this

Am I alright..?

This world is coming to an end
It's too damn easy to pretend
This never happened in my life
It's not your fault I weild this kn

Literature / Poetry / Emotional / Free Verse

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 one certain thing about everybodies life is that we will all eventually reach death. And death can mean a lot of things to a lot of different people. The important thing is to make sure that when death arrives, we feel as though we've accomplished everything that we were meant to do with our time on this wonderful green/blue, life sustaining planet of ours.

I just hope that I'll be that ready
Whenever my time actually -does- come...

And I hope that you will be too.

~Relic-Angel Jan 27, 2013 Hobbyist Writer

That made me think about prepping for my own demise.

~geocosmos Jan 27, 2013

I wrote this after a friend of mine died:

My Golden One, My Beauty,My Sweet One.
Be for me the Mashiah and stay with me always.
Maybe it’s too late, beyond life and death
You were my real mate I do now know that.

My dear little one, I wish I would drop dead
As long as I live now i just wait for you
To at last embrace each other in real
Two skeleton ech other, how good we will feel.

I would love to lay down on your tomb
Letting te be covered all night by the snow.
They would find my frozen body next dawn.
And I would with eternal love sink forever down.

~Invoking Jan 27, 2013 Hobbyist Writer

That is very sweet and touching and sad ene I'm sorry for your loss...

~Ember-24 Jan 21, 2013 Hobbyist Photographer

Sooo I noticed that when in your poem, you wonder what happens after you die..? A lot of people do, in fact I noticed that everyone who commented pretty much doesn't really understand. And I just want to tell you that there is hope. A lot of people think that will be a paradise or some happy place or peaceful place after one dies. And being ready isn't just accomplishing everything you wanted to do on earth. Are you ready means more do you know where you're going..? Just want to put it out there that heaven and hell are real, don't want to scare you but that is the reality. And here is the hope: Jesus. You see we were all born sinners and deserve eternal death. But Jesus came and took the punishment for us cause He loved us that much, we just have to believe in Jesus, ask for forgiveness and accept His gift of eternal life. It's that easy. I know there's some people that "don't care about religion" or "don't believe in that stuff" but its not a religion, its a relationship with God through Jesus. He is real and created everything. Sorry this is a long message but I felt inspired and felt like telling you of the hope. This is a great poem, by the way.
