"Pain is simply a process of learning"
Every person has a vile enemy to overcome, It may be a person, or even a book to some. But for myself, alas, it is but a feeling, Of the tearing of one's heart as well as its' resealing. I strive to love, yet not to yield, I dive in headstrong, but not without a shield. A sword in my hand, pointed to thee, But unknowingly, an arrow flies towards me. It hits its' mark, strong and true, And I fall, weakened, and clouds wave as I pass through. Blinded now, I reach for thy hand, A chuckle is heard, and my fist closes around sand. Sly is the tactic thou hast used to elude me once more, But I, a damsel, remained oblivious as the seams of my heart were torn. I continue to fall, but then I reached the end, And I could only wish that I had resumed falling again. The bottom had been sharp, and it pierced me through, My eyes, my chest... and oh, the screams it had ensued! Never before had I experienced such agony, I suppose then, that this is why love was- no, is a tragedy. As my eyelids flutter close, tears escaped them one last time, I lay impaled, love's greatest tragedy's prime. I had known that this was the end of my conquest of love, And I wished that no one would take this path for it was severely undeserved.

Conquest of Love
Life So beautiful So perfect The painful times come and go But for now, it is perfect Pristine and joyful are my days Now I worry not For my pain has been taken away

Life
"I'm sorry" You repeat this phrase Over and over again Any time, any day Till there's nothing left to gain "I'm sorry" You say this As you twirl the knife in your hand Is there something amiss? Or are you doing it because you can? "I'm sorry" You whisper in my ear And bring the weapon down I scream, my eyes filled with fear But you remain silent, without a sound Because you're already gone. I'd give anything to hear you say I'm sorry again Even my heart, so yours can once more begin It's beating sound, calming to the ears But no more, as my face stream with tears

Say It One More Time
They say that when you close your eyes You envision the most delightful of things Like roses in the park, or even your wishes and dreams No one said that you would see the most painful of things When I close my eyes, I see nothing but darkness I see deaths and drugs, tasting blood on my tongue My friends are with me, but it is them that's suffering They are the ones that die, that are narcotic and steal Why can't it be me that does these things? To watch and not be able to help, it kills me even when conscious I awaken to the coppery taste still on my mouth, unable to wash it away So think again when you hear people say Dreams are wonderful and I would love to relive them again

Haunting Nights
The "ifs" are all racing across my mind It's all I can see, I'm walking 'round blind I can only wish that I went back to then To the past, and to where it had all began. I remember I remember having my teacher punish me every day But it didn't matter, we would all be there silently going "heyy" We'd do everything together, distance big or small We'd always beg our parents to let us go out to the mall Relaxing, having fun, all seems so far away Now that reality's sunk in, all our joy is now delayed Who knows for how long, now that we've stopped talking I never expected it to end this way, it is beyond shocking I try to move on, to try and make new friends But then after a week or so, I was met with all dead ends No one would talk to me, the way you guys did So I sought you out, but of course, God forbid Happiness is now a dream that's never meant to come true I don't even have enough friends for a table of two One would be empty, filled with thorns and vines With no one willing to risk treading on this field with mines I may always seem open, but I hide my feelings deep Because I never want to be again, the one and only black sheep The differences become wide, people start drifting again But friends aren't the only things of which that I abstain It's not the food I miss, just the sharing of it We switched all the time, emptying the containers bit by bit Laughing and talking with our mouth wide open with food But it didn't matter, all that did was that our lives were good I also miss, the bonds that we shared So close, with our weird antics that people had often stared I remember the crazy stunts we once did Holding hands laughing, gigling, annoying that one kid Now I'm all lost I don't know where to go With no goal in mind, not without the flow I've got no reason, to keep going on this way "So maybe it'll finally end," I think, as I start a new day

Back then, everything seemed simple Always smiling, with that little dimple Never were we sad, but rather the other Being as close as sisters and brothers Then everything changed, when I was pulled away Forced to change, to leave, to go astray I wanted to be with you guys, entering our future together But my parents thought that this change of schools would be for the better At first, we continued chatting nonstop Our bonds were still going strong without a stop But then suddenly, we were too busy to talk And thus our friendship ended, quite much as a shock I only wish that one day We would again be together always I will go to see you guys one day, soon I swear this on the light of the moon 10 years later I walk up to the dorm where I knew you guys were staying And although one would not know it, I was silently praying I open the door, to find no one in sight But what really scared me, was that the place was dark as night Dusty, as if no one had been there for years I walk around warily, all eyes and ears I saw a picture, of all of us from back then Next to it was a scribble, with a paper and a pen It had an address, so I assumed they had shifted I walked my way there, but the place was restricted To dark to see what the name of it said So I thought all was good and would come back the next day instead I came back, only to be stopped at a halt My eyes became wet with tears that tasted like salt I walked inside the compound, slowly until I found it Their names written on tombstones, and thus, I fell, deep into a pit.

In the world, conflicts are strong In this world, there's so much that's wrong In our world, no one is giving And in my world, nothing is living My world is plain, A simple black and white All is monotonous with disdain And then you came into my sight My world burst with life Rainbows and no strife All my wishes were coming true All of this because of you We journeyed together Continuing with our lives Unaware of what awaited us On the other side The moonlight shone bright And though the stars were dim I could see what reality did to you In that pool of red you laid in Your hands were cold Clutched to the blade that pierced our souls For you were leaving this world of colour Bringing it back into darkness but now with three colours Black The colour of my sorrow My soul could no longer stay pure There's nothing left to live for Because I had lost my light It is a chore A curse, a suffering I want to end it all with the very same blade But I know you would want me to stay strong White When I go back in time Thinking about summertime When we danced with joy and laughter in our eyes As our lips clash, knowing that you're there will suffice For meeting you in dreams Whenever I manage to escape from reality I run to you, arms wide open But my arms close into empty space Red Like all the light, There are also darkness Like the nights that I cry in my sleep Awaking to the smell and feel of blood My arms are sticky and my eyes are red Bloodshot, exhausted and depressed all over again Every day, I go through this grief Now I hold my weapon, trembling beyond belief I'm sorry for disobeying your final wish That I wouldn't take my own life But now listen to my death wish There is no longer any point in life Because with your soul leaving this godforsaken world You took my heart and my spirit Along with my world.

Life, So full of joy. Happiness made to be unbearable, Laughing with friends, Wishing everything could stay this way. Suddenly you meet a person, That changes your world. Then you think that it's the one, The one that was meant to be. And that's where your hell begins All you see then, Is blurry but blood red anger. Your mouth continues shouting, Though your eyes are tearing. Your voice comes out painful and sharp, And yet it still shakes. You think it'll be okay, Then your friends begin backstabbing. Mocking you, Pulling you apart, Bit by bit, You slowly lose yourself. Your family, you think, Will probably listen. But they have no patience for you, No time to spare for you. You fall into emptiness, A void of only darkness No longer do you see the sun as joy But you glare back at it Brown orbs turned red, Filled with pure hatred. You think to yourself, Nothing in this world is good You forget your personality, Your character, Your everything, And soon, You lose yourself. Slipping away from all consciousness, Then suddenly, Gone.

Missing Life
Pain. Everywhere. In my head, And in my heart. Exploding against my consciousness, It ***** the energy out of me, As I sob and cry, As I draw out my knife, Prepared to die. I would do anything, Just to end my pain. This misery, This torture, It kills me, Inside and out. It's time to end, The pain I hid well. So I'm going back home, Back home to hell.
