Please Don't
She clutches a knife
and softly
caresses her skin
shivering
as cold as metal
touches her
numbness
fills the room
diminishing reason
she craves release
her eyes are damp
tears licking her cheeks
sliding over the kiss of her lips
it could be over so soon
she could be free
if only she could cease hearing your voice
whispering
no, please don't leave me.

Reconnecting
What we had was shunned.
Not for what it was,
but what they thought.
Though it was more than any of them ever knew.
And more than either of us could handle.
I hope the day will come,
When you can look back and smile.
Because that smile
Is all I ever really wanted out of you <3

If You Have Time
If you have time,

Call me.
Tell me your sorrows,
Share with me your pain.
I'll face a thousand arrows,
Just to meet you in the rain.

Sing to me.
I will lend you my ears,
listen unto your melody.
I will do this for years,
Even if it becomes a felony.

Cry on me.
Pour your tears,
and let me wipe em out.
Like a handkerchief of fears,
Then you can throw me out.

Love me.
Give me the stars
and I will draw constellations.
Let's sail the seven seas
and embark the greatest fascinations.
Together, lets figure words that rhyme.

That is, if you have time.

Tomorrow
And lately
Waking up has been the same thing
as pulling a sweet lull
from the beats of my heart.

It's been like stopping what struggled to start,
and saying things like
later, later
tomorrow, tomorrow.

My lungs don't buy these lies,
and even now

It's harder to breathe.

I promise
That everything I say
Will only be the truth
Which will be as clear as day
No matter what may happen
My intent will never stray
I will never conspire
And I will never betray

You were her friend
You were her friend* and yet on a starless night in the back room of an empty bar, you ripped away her innocence. She did not deserve a gag on her mouth and scratches on her cheeks. Blue bruises on the inside of her thighs constantly reminding her where you'd been.

You were her friend and yet you ripped away at her clothing as easily as if you were plucking the roots of a tree, and perhaps you were, because you dug her out and left her there to wither.

You were her friend and all you gave her was forced kisses reeking of whiskey and a bed sheet stained with her nightmare. There was no remorse in your eyes as you held her down and had your way. Again and again and again. You did not even wipe her tears.

You were her friend She did not deserve the whispers and glances in the hallway, your smile reminding her of what you did and your taunts when she sees you.

She was your friend She did not deserve dreams of a rope as a necklace and thoughts of a funeral where no one came.

Stand Out
When you are sad
Know that you can smile
Look around
Don't you hide

When you feel that the whole world
Is up to you
Know
That there is someone to hold out a hand,
To reach out a hand for you.

There is hope
There is a chance
Put down those rose colored glasses
and hang in a round.

There is joy
If you would seek
This pain shall go away
Just hold on a little bit.

Come on now cry
Don't be shy
We are humans
and should hurt sometimes.

Give it a try
Cheer for a while
Let the people know
You are worth the while.

Speak out your mind
Stand up high
Go on and shout
Let your voice come out.

Me with you is not Me
I change when I'm around you,
and not in a good way, no.

With every second I spend with you,
my soul is twisted like it is wet laundry,
wrenching all that is within.
You break my mold,
and get under my skin.
I really can't see why I'm sold,
that you're the one I need.

Perhaps I'm addicted to who I am around you,
or maybe I'm just sick, but

I change when I'm around you,
and not in a good way, no.

Dark Beauty
I miss your darkness
and how the weight of it
caused me to gravitate closer.
So close,
that I knew I would be changed by the intensity.
Forever.
I miss your smile,
and how your fake laughter fooled everyone in the room,
but me.
I miss how at ease you seemed in my arms,
and the security we found in the family we created.
Sweet sleeping beauty,
I miss you. <3

Silence Aftermath
The night is never
Terrifying

In a moment
I could peel back this window,

Scream and shout
And make a ******* racket.

Mimic murdered cats
or yell things like
**** or fire.

The terror comes
with the silence
in the after wash.

and that has nothing to do
with light or lack.

No Way Out
There is no way out,
I'm trapped in this hell hole people call life,
I feel as if I don't belong here,
I'm just passing through with no purpose anymore,
I'm scared,
It's getting darker,
I don't know where to turn,
Every bridge has been burned,
But I'm running out of time,
What do I do?
Where do I go?
I'm lost,
I can't find my way back,
Nothing looks familiar,
I don't know where I am,
I have wandered too far out,
I have lost myself,
and who I truly am,
It"s pitch black,
I'm alone.

YOU
YOU
I don't know
What to do
Where to go
I'm so ******* confused.
You say you're my friend,
But I feel so used.
I really don't know what to do,
This is all because of you.
You
           You
                     You
You ******* *****!
How could you do this to me
AGAIN
You keep stabbing me in the back
You're supposed to be my friend.
What the ****
What the ****
What am I supposed to think?!
Are we just supposed to start fresh,
Yeah, in your ******* dreams.
You hurt me so bad
and I don't know what to do,
My heart is in constant pain,
and it's all because of YOU.

Hard to Breathe
She has scars on her legs from the damage you did.
And the apex of her wrists will never be quite the same.
          X's carved into her skin,
                         inadequacy,
                                      self-hatred,
  ­                                                loathing.
She feels weak,
and out of control.
Her flesh will never look quite unmarred.
Imperfections because of you mark her skin,
and she cries because it makes her weak
because you made it hard to breathe.

Imperfectly Perfect
I wish you could look in the mirror,
and see what I see.
Beauty,
So breathtaking,
Inner and outer,
The rose petal on the water,
Floating alone,
Adding beauty wherever you go.
Maybe a tear/rip here or there,
From storms of the past,
But each imperfection,
Just makes you even more beautiful.

Love Hurts
It hurts.
Love hurts.
Loving someone you can't have.
Someone so far out of your reach,
Basically in a different galaxy.
No chance,
I haven't got a chance.
But the beauty,
So tender,
So intense,
I can't take my eyes off of you.
You're the reason I wake up every morning,
The reason I get through the day.
The happiness I have,
When I get to see you,
That is my motivation everyday.
I know I will never have you,
That you could never love someone like me.
But that can't stop my beating heart from loving you.
Love hurts.
It hurts. <3

Do You Know?
Do you know,
I look forward to everyday I sit next to you.
Do you know,
I think about you every time I wake up,
and before I go to bed.
Do you know,
Just how much I love your smile in my memory.
Do you know,
You are the ruby in my heart,
and the white in my bones,
and the blue in my eyes,
You are the color in my grey life.
Do you know?

Me;
I am unwritten words,
and unfinished sketches.
I am ugly and empty,
I am roads untraveled and unwrapped gifts.
I am angry words and angry hands at 2 am.
I am apologies and regrets.
I am tears on Friday and laughter on Saturday,
I am the color of your eyes,
and the softness of your scars.
Do you know
I don't know how lost I would be
If I didn't have you.
Do you know,
We are two bodies, one brain, one soul,
Do you know <3

Lost Wanderer
In a world I'm hated,
A life that's wasted
I'm searching to find where I belong.

I have no calling,
It always drops,
It's like I'll never
reach the top.

What am I supposed to do?
I'm just done.
I'm always waiting in a never ending line
For a day that will never come.

It's hopeless..
It's endless..
I'm hopeless..
Lets end this.

I feel like I'm eating myself
From the inside out.

They say they get it,
but I want to end it.

No one knows the pain,
Until they're standing in the rain..
With no where to go..
No one to turn to..

It's like I'm stuck on the bottom
Of this endless rut,
No, I cant get out.

It's hopeless..
It's endless..
I'm hopeless..
Lets end this.

Can anybody save me?
From my own destructive soul.

I'm lost,
Going nowhere fast,
Searching to find myself,
But nothing ever works.
Nothing ever lasts.

I can't find my way..
Is there any other way to go?
Is there any other place to turn to?

I'm hopeless..
Lets end this </3

— The End —
