heather-anne-cramer - Hello Poetry

I smile because i see through your charade, I frown because i know the pain you conceal is my fault. My days are dark because i never seem to be looking at the sun, My nights are bright because our friendship glows. I splash through the rain looking up at the sky, I scuff my feet through the day watching my life pass away. I break free not looking as i tumble down the tree covered slope, Hiking back up to run back down to 'feel free one more time'. I'm sleeping in the day, Prowling in the night. Living for each moment, Finding no regrets. Laughing, Crying. Living, Dying.

Living

I smile because i see through your charade, I frown because i know the pain you conceal is my fault. My days are dark because i never seem to be looking at the sun, My nights are bright because our friendship glows. I splash through the rain looking up at the sky, I scuff my feet through the day watching my life pass away. I break free not looking as i tumble down the tree covered slope, Hiking back up to run back down to 'feel free one more time'. I'm sleeping in the day, Prowling in the night. Living for each moment, Finding no regrets. Laughing, Crying. Living, Dying.

I can't stay in this cage you've made, I've been folded just to fit inside. My legs are aching, The will to run is strong. You throw food between my bars, Afraid to get too close. I gnaw anxiously at the lock, Claw at the floor, Wine and cry. You come bearing a bowl, I smell the fresh wet scent, I show my teeth, Growl deep from the pit of my stomach, I'm so thirsty. You walk past, Your attention on me is wrongly timed. My legs, hurt. They buckle beneath me and I fall, My mouth is dry, My blood runs thick, My heart slows, My eyes close, The cage is gone. Nothing but endless forest. I feel slow steady pain, Welcoming to these useless limbs. Then i run, For eternity.

Diary of a captive.

I can't stay in this cage you've made, I've been folded just to fit inside. My legs are aching, The will to run is strong. You throw food between my bars, Afraid to get too close. I gnaw anxiously at the lock, Claw at the floor, Wine and cry. You come bearing a bowl, I smell the fresh wet scent, I show my teeth, Growl deep from the pit of my stomach, I'm so thirsty. You walk past, Your attention on me is wrongly timed. My legs, hurt. They buckle beneath me and I fall, My mouth is dry, My blood runs thick, My heart slows, My eyes close, The cage is gone. Nothing but endless forest. I feel slow steady pain, Welcoming to these useless limbs. Then i run, For eternity.

Frozen moon, in a blood red sky, The seas crash against golden shores. The months fly by without a care, No one seems to notice the frozen moon. The sun rises and falls the same as before, Even as you fall apart. The stars shine noble and steady, Although you know they are already dead. Your stomach lurches as the earth turns, Your dreading that blood red sky. The oceans crash and overflow, Flooding the earth as the sun burns us all away. Frozen moon, in a starless sky. The earth sits, smoldering ash. Time now has no meaning, Theres no one left to notice that frozen moon.

Frozen Moon

Frozen moon, in a blood red sky, The seas crash against golden shores. The months fly by without a care, No one seems to notice the frozen moon. The sun rises and falls the same as before, Even as you fall apart. The stars shine noble and steady, Although you know they are already dead. Your stomach lurches as the earth turns, Your dreading that blood red sky. The oceans crash and overflow, Flooding the earth as the sun burns us all away. Frozen moon, in a starless sky. The earth sits, smoldering ash. Time now has no meaning, Theres no one left to notice that frozen moon.

Swallowing my pride, opening closed doors. Remembering the days that you would call me yours. Words I'd lost in space and time, Come floating back into my mind. The times we laughed, and times we cried, The day you came and said you'd lied. Like every thing we'd known before, this too came to an end. Maybe someday soon to you, this letter I will send.

Smiling forward towards the sun, Now you see what you've become. Chosen fate you can't decide, The earth opens, a mile wide. Something rises, takes your hand, Slowly smile as you descend.

What You've Become

Smiling forward towards the sun, Now you see what you've become. Chosen fate you can't decide, The earth opens, a mile wide. Something rises, takes your hand, Slowly smile as you descend.

New day, same old feelings. Like no matter what you can't seem to escape the shadow of your thoughts, no matter how bright the sun. Brand new bag, slung on the same old shoulders. Since you were five they've worn their place there. Same bold face in the mirror, wipe away the tears and smile against the waves crashing against you. Brand new people, same old faces. New day, same old feelings.

Going Through The Motions

New day, same old feelings. Like no matter what you can't seem to escape the shadow of your thoughts, no matter how bright the sun. Brand new bag, slung on the same old shoulders. Since you were five they've worn their place there. Same bold face in the mirror, wipe away the tears and smile against the waves crashing against you. Brand new people, same old faces. New day, same old feelings.

She falls under, The mistakes she couldn’t stand. He tries one last time, To faithfully hold her hand. She doesn’t notice, Everything she had. He turns away, Feeling all but sad. Every word he’d ever said, She knows she deserves.

And you are the only one who held my hand, Whispered to me your glorious plan. I told you I was falling fast, You said that I would be your last. You told me that your heart was slow, And that too soon you'd fall like snow. You never let on you laughed you smiled, Telling me the pain was mild. Then that day you slowly died, My will and love I did confide. Your heart sill beats in time with mine, A brand new day, this sun will shine.

The black canvas sits, Gathering dust. Let sleeping ghosts lie, Leave them kept inside. Glance quick on the past, Move toward the rising sun. Blinding, Dust floats through the beams. If I could see where I was headed, Would I keep walking? I guess this is where we find, If we were meant to be. Turning to the moon, Never hurt this much.

Moving Forward

The black canvas sits, Gathering dust. Let sleeping ghosts lie, Leave them kept inside. Glance quick on the past, Move toward the rising sun. Blinding, Dust floats through the beams. If I could see where I was headed, Would I keep walking? I guess this is where we find, If we were meant to be. Turning to the moon, Never hurt this much.

If I told you that, My head just keeps sayin no, But my heart keeps givin in. Could we stop this crazy pain filled game? Cause lovin is for winners, And so far ive done nothin but lose. But I can't turn my back, Cause you know I can't trust that much. The bullet holes down my spine, Tell the story that no one will hear. But sometimes I'd rather forget, The lessons I've already learned. To start again, To let the innocence guide me, To believe the fairytales. But now prince charming is the villian, And the princess is long gone. The shining feeling has left, Replaced by black. But the light at the end of this tunnel, Holds promises I'm ready to keep.
