Whisper to me
Astounding Oct 2013
They float like butterflies in the breeze.
Their flutters ping chills upon my skin.
Tenderly they caress my soul.
I know something is about to begin.
Oh heart, never let go. Let all the fears fade away.
Your words still lingering my ears, enrapturing me to this day.

Whisper to me. Churn my mind.
Help me to see that you are mine.
Drift me off on a cloud of love.
The closest thing to the heavens above.

We sway and dance, fingers entwined.
Your ripe lips tango with mine.
You brush my hair from my cheek and smirk the way you do.
Our love unique with all that we've been through.
Tell me the sweet nothing's I'm longing to hear.
I can feel the love in the air.

Whisper to me. Churn my mind.
Help me to see that you are mine.
Drift me off on a cloud of love.
The closest thing to the heavens above.

My soul it sings for you, fingertips searching the wind.
Your voice echoes in my heart. Let our journey begin.

Whisper to me (whisper to me).
Churn my mind. (Soft, elegant whispers in the background).
Help me to see that you are mine.
Drift me off (drift me off) on a cloud I'd love (love, love, love).
The closest thing to the heavens above...

Someone inspire me
Astounding Oct 2013
Who inspires us?
Who says its not okay to be wrong?
Why do I have to know what I want out of life right now?
Why is this day so long?

Maybe I want to  be an astronaut
Maybe I want to be a mermaid
Maybe I want to work a job where I don't get paid

What if I want to  sail a pirate ship?
What if I want to panhandle?
What if I want to make my own signature candle?

How can you tell me no?
Who the hell are you to say what I can or can't do?

I'm going crazy
So stressed out
This is not what life was supposed to be about
I wanna travel the world
Find the lost city of Atlantis
I don't like the life I'm living
I didn't plan this

I didn't think my dreams would change
But they did
I can make my own decisions
I'm not a little kid

I may have a child's heart
I may even cry
Hell, there are some days that I wish I could fly

But you're taking my joy
You're crushing my hope
You're sending me down a slippery *****

You push too hard
I know you think you're right
But I need some inspiration
If only just for one night.

What Dreams May Come
Astounding Oct 2013
One for the encounter
One for the false fame
Two for the shame of loosing at her own game.
One more to make it look pretty.

How did you get those scars?
Better think of something witty.

She watches the hurt ooze out in crimson streams
She bites into the pillow that muffled her screams
Ah, the sting, it brings her pleasure
The rusty smell of blood is something she treasures
Look how each **** lay gracefully upon her thigh
When she gazes upon them she gets a euphoric high

The razor glides smoothly upon her supple skin
That one wasn't deep enough
Better go over it again.

She claws and digs until the hurt in her heart has disappeared
Then she stares at her masterpiece
A poetic type of weird

One day he'll come along
And kiss the scars she's engraved in her skin
Tell her she's beautiful and deserves more than this sin
She'll dig her fingers into his flesh
And get a release that they'll share
She will be his every care

Love will be the only thing that oozes out
And she will finally know what all the fuss was about

Dear Dan,
Astounding Oct 2013
My mind is racing
Rambling
Spinning out of control
I cant stop it
Pleasing you was always my goal

I got so confused in my ways
Reversing not only by steps, but by days

When I was young I tried so hard to make everything alright
Always making impulsive decisions but never using spite
As I grew older, my heart started to die
I started to force things and forgot how to cry
To let out all the pain that has ever held me back

All the adults I know still have their pain intact

Where is that light that was once so vivid?
It vanished when we grew older and it has made us livid.

Animals snarling and glaring at one another
Traveling in pacts, but leaving behind fellow brothers

But not you, dear Dan
You have been all that you could be
You lifted my spirits
You had faith in me

I only wish I could see you once more and be proud of where I am
Since you saw me last I have not followed our plan

Day by day you were there to help me see
That the demons I saw in others were just a reflection of the demons that lived in me
You sat by the pond and listened to my soul when words my mind couldn't retrieve
When I lost faith in humanity, your trust made me believe

I'm sorry I turned out just like the last and became worse than ever
I wish I could say that my decisions are more clever
But I cant lie to you Dan
I never could
Although it's not what we had planned
I hope you're doing good.

Break Up
Astounding Oct 2013
You say you love me
I don't think you do
You cant love me
You don't know half of what I've been through

I feel bad saying goodbye
But it is something I must say
It would be wrong of me not to tell you
Wrong of me to string you along another day

I know it was I who said I missed you
But I've learned how to be on my own
I cant always depend on you,
Always calling when I feel alone

It's time I grow up
Time I move on
It is I whose been using you all along

I know you've hurt me
But don't beat yourself up
Things wouldn't be any different
It's not "Just your luck."

You are an amazing man
Someday your love will come
But as far as love from me goes
You will get none

So hold your head high
Hold on to your dreams
Reach for the stars
And remember the little things
Astounding Oct 2013
You seemed beautiful
You made me feel free
But your words are cruel lies
Biting chunks out of me
I've been spinning in your grin
My heart, somehow, still beating as I bleed
I don't want your affection
Its your attention that I need

Look me in my eyes
Show me that your false love is still there
Trusting in you is like pulling out the grenade pin
Then tossing the grenade in the air
Hopeless and pathetic
Yet still,
In some way,
Poetic

It feels like shattered glass
Everything we had is broken
It fell to the ground
And is now left in the open
I wish could say sorry and mean it
But then it would be I devouring you
We don't need anymore lies
Our feelings for each other were already untrue

So I'll walk away
Head held high
And I'll unleash the pain
In a long withheld sigh

Little Things
Astounding Sep 2013
As the rain leaps from the clouds
I sit here and I write
Pondering all the mistakes I've made and how to make them right
A breath of fresh air and the taste of the delicate mists from the splattering landing of the rain
Are just enough to ease my inner pain.

The ducks on the pond ruffle their feathers
The beauty of nature overcomes my craving for guilty pleasures
I sit and I listen to the rain and the water clash
The sound always comforting, however long it lasts
The night sky is charming as it sprinkles down gently with delight
My mind is clear and my soul feels right

Just to stare up at the sky and envision my dreams
You've got to love the little things

The Lone Rider
Astounding Sep 2013
Have you ever shared the darkest secrets of your soul
And the person you told just shied away?  
Did you assume it would happen
Because those secrets you felt you should not say?

You go out on a limb and hope they'll accept who you are
Inside you knew it was hopeless
But you still had faith in that wishing star
  
You sit and wait for their response but the silence is icy cold
You wish you could take it back
But your soul you've already sold

Your heart sinks and your eyes grow heavy, but you refuse to cry
Because in your mind your pointlessly waiting
For their compassionate reply  

The hurt and pain is unforgiving and you've lost all aspiration
Your head is hollow and your heart is numb
They trampled all inspiration

How can you love yourself if no one has ever dared?
You just want to be yourself, to share yourself with someone
But you learn they've never truly cared

You know you'll be rejected, because you've rejected yourself many times
So you try to vent your pain  
By converting it into rhymes

But inside your soul is lonely, and in a dim corner it weeps
Within the demons are prying
and no one ever sleeps

one as beautiful as you
Astounding Sep 2013
In the shadows of the land
There's weathered faces lined with pain
Their eyes burn
They can see the darkness in your soul

Banished to a shadow prison
The needle skips and spins
Turn off the dark
Remove this bed of pins

The walls are not thick enough to hold
The weight of what they've heard
There's a blaze of light
In every word

They say you took the name in vain
Do you even care to know the name
Living in your head
Growing insane

Waking up in cold sweats
Heart cast in the sea
Cant they hear your call?
Why wont they set you free?

Stuck inside these walls
The clock is barely breathing
Face against the window
They all look as if they're seething

Suppressed by childhood fears
All that's under the skin
Wondering how you got these scars
The future is looking grim

The stars all seem to weep
Nothing but dim shades of grey and blue
Little do you know
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you

LIVE
Astounding Sep 2013
Runaway, escape
Travel to a distant land
Do whatever makes you happy
Who cares if it's not planned

Jump on a plane
Catch the bus
Hitchhike, if you must

Be spontaneous
Let out a sigh
Leap
Let your freak flag fly

You could live without adventure
You could live a lie
You could live in vain
Anyone can
But why?

Why not shout til your heart's content
Why not live without having to pay the rent
Why struggle through the pointless, heavy burdens of existence
**Don't settle for the path of least resistance

Regret and Faith
Astounding Aug 2013
To me it's no big deal
Just another way of getting my heart to heal
It's no use
It always turns out to be a mistake
I'm ***** and tainted
But, then again, no ones a saint
How did I get so down hill?
The consequences of my actions don't seem real.
I lie and I cheat to get what I want
But the memories come back
And my dreams they haunt
The world is dim
My mind is grim
I know I'm always disappointing Him
And by Him I mean God
The only one who knows all
He lets me fall just to prove that he will help me up
And I will forever drink from his everlasting cup.

A Broken Soul
Astounding Aug 2013
There was a girl.
She loved to dance with the breeze.
Her heart used to sing, as she swayed with the trees.

But one day the wind stopped, and out rolled the thunder.
Disoriented and confused, she had many blunders.
How could she have known how deep into the pit she would fall.
She hated her life, but was too proud to shout out her call.
Her scandals have her trapped.
For a permanent effect on the mind and heart has occurred.
Her body as well has suffered.
Her will to carry on is blurred.

She should have listened when she had the chance.
But she was to curious and he seemed so advance.
She thought honesty about potential harm would be an innate human trait.
But not everyone is good in this world, and in her heart she has developed hate.  

She tries to forget by hiding tears with laughter.
But a way to escape her life is all that's she's after.
There's always one in the batch that's just like its makers.
She got the worst of both her parents traits, and she knows where they will take her.
She has no illusion, and she hopes for the worst.
Just to hide from her shame and to make the ones who made her this way feel worse.
Make them hate themselves because of what they caused.  
It's not like she doesn't hold herself accountable but she feels that in her life there's been fraud.

How could you do it with so little a care?
You've destroyed a healthy life.
How is that fair?

She was honest about herself, and you have stolen her hope.
For her quality of her life, she has little faith.
I hope one day you read this and you compare it to yourself.
Are you the one who destroyed her?
The one so easily sabotaged her health?
Can you admit it?
Can you walk with your head held high?
I pray that when she takes her last breath, you feel in your heart her last bitter sigh.

The Encounter
Astounding Aug 2013
Our eyes collide
And ignite with a flash
You lick your lips
I sip from my glass
I bat my lashes and twirl my hair
Never abandoning our lustful stare
I imagine the strength of your embrace
My face starts to flush and my heart starts to race
You crave the sweetness of my skin and my ripen lips
But most of all you can't forget the contour of my hips
Aug 2013 · 446
You Will Not Prevail
Astounding Aug 2013
I will overcome you
What I fear I have already done
I will hold my head high
I will love every aspect of myself
I will no longer run
I won't let your looks bring me down
I have been minimized by you long enough
I have broken out of your cage
And flown and explored beyond its bounds
You are nothing but my past
I will stop dwelling on you
I will stop letting you appear in my mind
For you have no hold over me
I am stronger than you

Let Down
Astounding Aug 2013
The moment that you spoke
There was a shock-wave of pain
Something inside me broke
My heart you have slain
I try to stand tall
But the force of your blow sends me to my knees
I attempt to express my pain
But all the breath I require to speak has been stolen by the breeze

What did I do to turn you so cold?
Your heart is now covered with a hateful mold
I search your eyes
My once comforting place
But I see no sight of you in them
Not a trace.

I've recovered my breath
But I don't speak by choice
Too proud to let you hear
The break in my voice
Our once strong love
Has been crushed by its own weight
How has our once blazing flame
Ignited so much hate?

Maybe Someday
Astounding Aug 2013
Your breath freshens my air
Your image is perfect, if I may declare
How I love your sweet embrace
And to trace the curves around your face
You make my heart flutter like the wings of a humming bird
Your voice is the sweetest thing I've ever heard
Please don't leave or shy away
In this romance we must stay
In unison we fly through endless skies
No worries or cares
Just joyous sighs
A string tugs on my heart and leads to yours
I could gaze in your eyes for hours
You make me happy my sweet perfect love
Truly, you must be from the heavens above

Oh heart, your imagination is vast
Maybe someday love will come at last
Still lonely you stay
A caged bird yearning to get away
To escape the bars of the present
And travel to a future more pleasant
Where love is eternal and true
Where I won't have to watch love from a distant view.

Satisfaction
Astounding Aug 2013
The moonlight on your face
Your sweet aroma in the air
The dirt finally settles
You dust off my hair
Our hearts are pounding
Our bodies covered with sweat
The way you felt inside me
Is something I'll never forget

Recovery
Astounding Aug 2013
I hear a drum in the distance
Someone is calling my name
The voice is so familiar
And I can hear hints of pain

I journey a little closer
Wondering who I'd find
I arrive at a stone of mirrors
And I realize the voice is mine

Inside the stone is my past
Trapped in the reflection of the mirrors
The younger me is crying
For the decisions that she's made
Are the reasons that I'm dying

Still the drum beats on
The noise from a long hidden place
I realize that it's the beating of my heart
That I've long ago trapped in a steel safe

I hid the safe in the depths of my soul
A place I never thought it would survive
But as I look in the eyes of my past self
I realize this is also why she cries

She had so many dreams
A paradise she had planned
But she got clumsy
And it slipped out of her hands

I must free her
Or her burdens I will bare
I unlock the safe
And I shatter stone's mirrors

A black cloud emerges from the shattered glass
And I felt a weight lift from my soul
She is free a last
I can start to mend the empty holes

My heart is now weightless
It's beat peaceful as the stars
For the choice to be free
Has always been ours

Unjust
Astounding Aug 2013
You looked in my eyes
And I showed you my soul
Someone to confide in
Befriending you was my goal

I poured out my heart
Watched as the steaming liquid turned to ash
You had made it vanish
My burdens lifted at last

But you gathered the ashes
When my back was turned
You threw them in the blaze of the public
And I felt my shame start to burn

You ****** the venom out of me
And then bit me right back
I can't believe you betrayed me
Now my dignity I lack

Don't worry I've learned my lesson
And I will let this go
But I assure you
I'll never let you know
Astounding Aug 2013
You say I'm a terrible person
Because I always lie
You say you wish I were dead
But I never cry

You think you can control me
Even against my will
You can't even budge me
For I am always still

I haven't got the time
For you to wave your finger in my ******* face
You won't ever get a reaction
Even if that grimy finger were mace

I never ******* hear you
I always tune you out
So please, just shut the hell up
There's no need to shout

My mind is somewhere else
For I have long left this hell
But still, sometimes I miss you
And I hope you're doing well

Bipolar
Astounding Aug 2013
You take pills to feel better
They never seem to suffice
A temporary escape from your mind
Sure would be nice

But you're in a place where there is nowhere for you to run
Man, disappearing sure sounds like fun

What do you do when your world never seems to stop?
One moment your manic and feel like you're at the top

Somewhere along the way your world starts to diminish
You feel if your tumbling this hard
You might as well land with a big finish

So you do something you know one day you'll regret
Who cares?
You haven't got the energy to fret

You get release and finally feel free
And that's all that seems to matter
Until the day you realize you've given away your dignity
On a sliver platter
Astounding Aug 2013
A flower sways upon a rolling hill
Basking in the sun
She has quenched her thirst with the morning dew
And her day has just begun

The flower stands tall and proud of her petals
As they compliment the meadow
When suddenly upon the hill
She sees a dancing shadow

A young child comes frolicing toward her
And upon her petals the child stares
She pulls her face up to the flower's eye
And envelops it within her hairs

The child caresses her nose upon the petals
and takes a giant whiff
The flower fears what could possibly happen
And her stem becomes stiff

The child wraps her hand around the flower's base
And thrusts upward with a pluck
The flower has been free'd from the ground
And is no longer stuck

Her beauty has brought a child happiness
But at what cost?
Taken from her home
The flower is now lost

In the distance the child's mother is calling
And the child beings to sprint towards the voice
The flower slips through the child's fingers
And she leaves it behind by choice

The flower travels with the wind
Gliding through the sky
The sight is so beautiful
Who knew flowers could fly

The gust of wind softens
And she falls back to the grass
She lay there taking it all in
Back home alas

She realizes she has little time
Before her petals wither away
So she lay there basking in the sun
Enjoying her last day

She does not groan or weep
But glances at the leaves on the trees
For a flower without water
Can still feel the breeze

— The End —
