18/M/Lake I find beauty in the silence
They shine upon us from way above To be seen but we can never touch The stars that look down upon us I lay down on the grass filled with bugs and dirt Looking up at the black light that reflects my mind Wondering why I can't jump high enough To float with the stars

The Stars
He surprises her with a gift on her anniversary A shining red rose in a vase of clear water That is illuminated by the sun’s glow And she goes to kiss him, tears run down her face She can’t express her love enough for this man As they go into their room and close the door The red rose in it’s clear water sits with it’s lustful red color A few weeks go by and surely the water starts to recede the women who wept over this rose Goes to crack a bottle of Rosé and closes her eyes In the sunlight a slight blemish on her face A handprint faded red lingers as she takes a sip But she forgets about the rose so the flower starts to lose hope A month in the water just seemed to have disappeared Even if the vase was full night would have swallowed what was there The only light comes from the tv, a soap opera plays but on mute Only sound is from the broken girl’s cries as her heart is strewn The man that she had loved was gone never to come back Why not paint her black and blue? The pain would have only lasted a day or two But a broken heart was just too much strain So she cries and cries until her cries were no more Just restful, puffy red eyes, asleep forever more The rose fell to the floor Once a lustful red, turned black and was pronounced dead.

The Red Rose
Abraham sorry for not listening to what you had to say But America is going to do it the American way Which uses guns and leads to bloodshed And the blame goes to the blue and red With the white being the people caught between them

Just write for the sake of writing A poem or a story doesn’t matter Just write for the sake of doing To get your feelings off of your chest No one will care what you write So just write and do it loving

Just Write
I have butterflies in my stomach And my heart has taken an adrenaline shot. My palms are slick and sweaty. My breath is taken away Cause you look beautiful today. I think it's happening again My defenses are dropping while hope soars Think I am sick with a crush Think I am sick with a crush The doctor that I speak too gives me a week tops I don't understand I thought I was Going to live long enough To at least have a child or two Well a week later I conspireed it with you And who knew that the doctor was right As all my bones wither away You walk away from me with a sick glee Yeah and I am crushed The sickness has came to me And I am crushed. My body is finally slowing down, My eyes see heaven's sky, When I am put to rest. On the tombstone it says Died because of a crush

Love makes us do funny things Like how we made a secret code so to speak. Love also hurts Like when you threw the diamond ring back at me. Love makes me sick sometimes Where I can't move and I can't scream, All I do is silently weep. Love ******* love What a piece of **** Love ******* love I think I want another hit at it.

Love
I think I am in a world of hurt Only Seventeen But I think the world has forgotten about me They say to wait when your older Everything will get better But the more I look, the more everything hurts Cause I see people that I used to know Having fun and hanging out. But what about me Seems like they forgot about me I look out of my window and watch the road Turn red white and blue The world goes so fast it overlaps me Then I am forgotten, alone with my thoughts Thinking that I am seventeen and the world already ***** Cause I see people that I used to know Laughing and hangoing out I try to be like them, but it hurts Cause these aren't my clothes The world is just too fast for me It has overlapped me.

Word *****
Seasons surely do change, but they're always the same. While you just know how to run away, my sweet angel, Never do come back, just know how to run. Think I am a fool waiting for you to return? What a funny thing. You're probably on the next best thing. Oh angel, why do you have to run away? Stay here for a while, see the sunset on the horizon. Don’t leave me here to die. Oh, oh, I am not ready to walk on water. Please hold my hand tonight. Angel, don’t run away. Angel, come back, I need you to stay. Angel, don’t run away. You're on my mind all the time, Wondering if you're blessing another guy. I try to forget you, Just the smell of you still lingers on my sheets. I loved you too deeply; if I knew you had to go, I would gaze at you from afar like snow. Then you would melt away, but instead of coming back, You would just go. Oh angel, why do you have to run away? Stay here for a while, teach me how to fly. Don’t leave me here to die. Oh, I am not ready to walk on water. Please hold my hand tonight. Just light up my sky, Be my guiding light In this darkness that I can’t wade. Angel, don’t run away. Angel, come back, I need you to stay. Angel, don’t run away.

My head is underwater, and I am starting to choke, But you push me down further Because you need to stay afloat. Well, I’m drowning; can’t anyone help me? NOPE. It’s getting harder to breathe; My vision is starting to become blurry. All I want is some fresh air, All you do is talk about how great it is up there. Guess I will die this way, Like the rest before me. Die with the fishes, and another will take my place— Chained just so you can keep your head afloat. Just don’t forget that you would die too If we didn’t keep you afloat.
