American I have been writing for a little while now and i just thought maybe this would be a good place to read an maybe get some criticism.
waxing streets a maze of affluence Those spots of hidden lightlessness blockade a fear So few can hear, shadowed an paired The gentle raps slide close behind A soft rustle the only hint Breathes quicken as footsteps follow A burst of slick fear the final taunt Sudden claws wrap around the soft flesh The neck bared to chilled midnight air A shock smothered screams Cruel fingers tear away shields of appearance Barren and defaced, fast harsh strokes rip through the night ****** lips whisper nothing A rustle is all that tells of a loss the click of steps recedes into a gathering dawn

They sit next to you on the train The bus The desk next to yours you pass them everyday They laugh with their friends smile at jokes who they are is hard to see from the captain of chess to the queen bee From the girl who hides behind her ******* To the boy with alcohol on his breathe No one looks past the red eyes or *** stained sheets No one sees whats hidden In that perfect outfit what lies behind that smile hidden darkness buried in them all from the school ***** to the stoner god They all hide that single flaw From the class president To the ballet star We see them all The musical prodigy wasting away To the redundant poet trying to make it through the day No one can see the lonely

Spouting one thing You say its all ridiculous But i'm torn to trust you all of this was over now my hearts fit to bust why is everyone speaking this way It feels like i am just in the way i just lay curled up in pain all of this making things all the worst in so many ways

So Many Ways
Like a splinter of dread all of these pictures fill my head Bile rises in my throat it makes me fit to choke i just want to fall in bed yet my stuttering hand lifts this god forsaken pen

Yet..
I have a streak of suicide                                   Wait you like me better When i speak in lies                                                      So i won't die                                                                        I'll live my life                                A reason to be isn't beyond me                                                                 I will stay awake even as i wish to dream                         I won't give anymore silent screams                                                                            Give me no reason to stay                                                            I'll be here waiting for my final days to end naturally

Lies For Both Of Us
Those two little tickets lay in the box  from a half remembered day when things werent all they could be When you leaned over to me an said you loved how i watched the movie Well now i sit here the smell of bleach drifting through the air Me wishing i could tell you all thats happened with me Like when we stayed up till three just trying to get to know me But your gone an im misunderstood Just another broken boy up to no good Wrestling with my thoughts now that your off Ill just sit here an let our old songs play remembering every single day

Two Tickets
Falling down into a world of lovely demons Lending my soul for the night Crafting a sin from sweet perfume Giving in to the rhythm of lust Feeling all that we won't Her name echoes in my head As my body speaks with another's I lend myself Trying in vain I won't remember her wretched name Need echoes my partners giving a desperate pace to our endeavor Till we lay side by side my mind on another

Lending
Dreaming of a bullet taking up resident in my brain Not out of desperation Simple curiosity leading me on A wondering force pushing me towards an end For the simple craving of knowing

Curious Endings
Strung up on adderall ****** out to normality led on by conformity Their path filled in with chaff Rigged to persuade Monotony fills their days Pushed down in worthless ways fed on a lethal dose of caustic fluorescent

Strung Along
It all started on that cold day You started all of this with just a hi We talked all day An at the end of that  i asked you if i could say hey We talked every single minute Then we met to go see a film on that day When i first saw you there my heart beat an beat The smile you gave me was matched with shyness an glee Now we walked an talked An after the movie when we had to go our ways We hugged an smiled an i started to feel a love that hadnt been there for awhile Then you kissed me an made everything seem free But the very next day you came to say i spent that entire day with you in my arms Then after you said your past an i knew that you were my best I asked you to be mine an you said yes Then we spent our days in bliss Jupiter was our greatest bless it was but a jest but you made me feel like no one less But then i did wrong i made myself seem like a hog I covered my love in ****** acts i made myself a piece of trash I shouldve let my love go to you an show that i was always true I had eyes only for you Then one night as i felt us part I heard you say we had to stay away So i curled in my bed we had shared An i cried an let loose my despair But you were still there so i didnt let lose or forget my care An then one day you called me back an said you loved me back But as i sat with you on my lap i saw that you were leaving me for that sack I grew cold an sold my soul But you kept me close while i missed you the most Until one day you came an cut me loose you said you were gone an past an i was just your last But then the worst did come you turned agianst me an said these things an acted like you enjoyed when you left me You said i was a cheat an a fake But in truth i was yours alone now as i miss you still you say you hate me i wonder an ponder why this can be An i fear i may never know for your still all i feel I miss you my dear an i cant stop this fear But i need to stop all of these tears So im here just waiting to feel free An once again be just me
