Whenever I tried talking to you
you pushed your hair back
to tell me
you've always had it worse.

Maybe silence created you
to rebel against nature,
oh they did well.

I've once seen lifeless eyes speak
a million words
one of them was yours.

Maybe tears created you
because that's all you are
in my arms.

The hands of the clock
don't go back,
but you cling to them
to a time that's long gone.

You are a gone girl.

Tame me with your gentleness,
Let me feel your sweet caress,
Heal my wounded heart,
Save it from being torn apart;
This is what I only ask of you -
To me, please be true.
Down the street
I will meet
The girl that changed everything
Taught me to love
Hate
And reciprocate
We don't talk much anymore
Talking is such a bore

I like to think
She thinks
About that loser
But if she did
Then he wouldn't be
Behind this screen
Talking so clean

I know it's over
I know Clover
And we only hung out
When I was sober
I don't regret it
I'm actually glad
Because then i was
stupid, mean, and bad

This isn't making light
Or making sense
But making love
Wasn't a penance
Making me who i am
Is a million and one thanks

So thank you
Whatever you're doing
If you're moving
Or soothing
Someone else at night
Because, for a while,
You were my only light

                                                          ­                  With Love,
                                                           ­                                       **E.H.
I know this may make a few people unhappy but there's no denying it happened and....and I'm thankful for it.
She is neither pink nor pale,
  And she never will be all mine;
She learned her hands in a fairy-tale,
  And her mouth on a valentine.

She has more hair than she needs;
  In the sun ’tis a woe to me!
And her voice is a string of colored beads,
Or steps leading into the sea.

She loves me all that she can,
  And her ways to my ways resign;
But she was not made for any man,
  And she never will be all mine.

Love is a rainbow, but it ends with rain
Love is pleasure, but it gives you so much pain
Love is warm, but it's also cold
Love shines, but it isn't always gold
I could choose anyone else in this world,
But I chose you.
And I will choose you every time.

Kinda.
Blowing winds throughout the streets
Tweets that were nothing sweet
The moon becoming black within its own mist
The earth was turning as a revolting twist
Eerie voices at the stroke of midnight
Blood thirsting sip
Screams upon screams
The creed being the dead shall rise
Movement will be beyond anyone’s surprise
Fright within your tears
Your body shaking within its fears
Thunder shall roar
The living existence will become no more
No investigations to explore
The unrest rising from their tombs
The night to stork and an everlasting doom
The prancing bout in the moment of soon
The dead reliving in a rise in the occasion
The living fighting to live has become a strong indication
Do you have the armor to survive?
Are you the chosen one that will still be alive?
Run for your life
Don’t bother to think twice
It’s precision sharp as a tack
But don’t look back
No life sparred that can compare
I give you caution in your steps of beware
A moment alone we all share
Good night and sleep tight as your survive, but in the your presence is the vision of the soul of Sir Clive
Laughter could be heard that you won’t be alive
Only the strong shall survive.

Hey honey
I know I may not know you very well
But I care.
I know what happened to you
It's been plastered all over the news
I know what the ******* did
And I'm sorry.
I'm sorry you had to lose your mother.
I'm sorry your family has been torn apart.
That **** just ain't right.
And I don't know what it's like
The inside looking out
But on the outside looking in
I hope your mother rests easy
And your step-father burns eternally.
And I just want you to know:
If you need ANYTHING,
Come by, please.
We may not know eachother very well
But well enough to talk.
Please, don't be silent
I need your words
You need to vocalize
And if you're not ready
That's fine too
But I'm always here
And don't ever forget
You have a wonderful family here
With 300 of us,
We got you.
Just talk with any of us
I promise you
We will listen, we will care.
We love you.
Don't be silent.

So I wrote this poem (or rather thoughts, whatever) to a boy I've known since middle school. Recently (and I mean like, on Monday recently) he lost his mother and step-father. His parents had been fighting, and his step-dad pulled a shotgun on his mother, killed her, and then overdosed on some drug. This is a completely terrible, traumatizing incident, and yet the boy still showed up to school today. I heard about this from a couple friends in band (who had heard from our director) because the boy is also in band.
I don't know if he'll ever read this, and I don't know how to try to console him, but this is the best way I could find. I just wanted to let him know (if he ever does end up reading this) that he is not alone and I am here. And that, the whole band really, is there. And that we all love him, as simply a human being.

That is all.
