I can hear the pain in the rain as it falls and dies, not knowing if it will give life or ****.
I'm thankful that I have the power to choose the impact that I have on this world. Never take it for granted. Try and make the world a positive place.
Gavin Betty Jul 2014
Color me black and tear my lungs.

I am not sorry for who I am or who I want to be.

Sometimes the only one you need to save is yourself.
Gavin Betty Jul 2014
Time is passing like cars in the city.
I float, overlooking this place I call home.
I think it's funny how I always wanted to run away from here. But now that I'm gone I just wish I was alive again.
I know what I said was inexcusable, and I hope you know I didn't mean a thing.
You've shown me how strong a human being can be, and taught me that there is no stronger truth than love.

I want to fix all that is broken,
And hold you while you're in need.
**** every harsh word they've spoken,
Bleed so that you won't have to bleed.

I want to follow through with every empty promise.
That I know you still wait to come true.
Because darling I am just being honest,
When I say, I just want to save you.

So when they fight and all seems gray,
Know I am here, any time, any day.
Gavin Betty Jul 2014
I couldn't fathom a world without you.

Here
Without your smile or blush my.

Dear
I know things are bad but.

Know
I'll love you forever, no matter where I.

Go

How am I suppose to move on when I have your eyes?
How can I put the past in the past when the past was my life?
In the fire a Phoenix will rise,
And in that Phoenix is a burgundy knife.
I know you won't get it.

Ring ring, screamed the teens phone,
Ding ****, cried the bell,
No ones answered a door for a friend,
Since the great wifi curtain fell,
Pay no attention to what you can be,
A wonderful world awaits,
Ran by blood and money,
Oh! The beauty of business baits,
The one true God,
the almighty dollar,
Dethrones that fraud.
And silences a Hollar.
Why feed the hungry,
When you can feed yourself,
Why give clean water,
When you can stock your shelf?

Well maybe I'm just tired,
Of always making excuses,
And maybe im just sick,
Of the horrible things we do,
I want a world desired,
Otherwise we're all useless.
I've given up on the *****.
That claims he wants what's best for you.
I don't know.
Gavin Betty Jul 2014
I
Could not
Let it go.
His addiction
Is pulling you down.
But what can I do to
Change the way you see this world
And make everything okay?
All my attempts are failing you, Dear.
Nothing seems to matter anymore, love.
I wish I could steal you away from that home,
But instead I'll just write a ******* grow poem
Everything I write Is on a personal level, that's why I love write in the first place! It keeps me sane and since people take the time to read this, I am more than happy to answer any questions or randomly talk to anyone with same interests (poetry)! So thank you for reading and hai, it's nice to meet you:)

You can be the hero,
In your own story,
But if this world taught me anything.

It's that the villains have more fun.
Gavin Betty Aug 2014
The waves are crashing, screaming for attention.
Avert your eyes from the screen, real life has come.
It's knocking at your door, but you can't hear it over the television.
You pity me because I have little.
I pity you because you have so much.
Gavin Betty Jul 2014
You don't scare us.
We scare us.
We should scare you too.
Gavin Betty Jul 2014
The window shines a painful white  
Burning my retinas slow
The world outside is not my friend.
Gavin Betty Jul 2014
I refuse to believe
That a green piece of paper
Holds more value than any life.

I refuse to believe
That love should be limited
To one template or tradition.

And I refuse to follow
A set of rules developed
By a man no different than me.
Gavin Betty Jul 2014
I feel for the trees
That must sit and watch
As cars and clouds fly by.
Gavin Betty Jul 2014
The thought of you now pains me,
Like an ulcer you sit and you bleed,
The sound of your voice is salt in my wounds.
Gavin Betty Nov 2014
I know you've asked me to write,
Something as beautiful as life,
To convince her to stay,
But I've killed every good day.

I am high if I'm awake,
To cope with what the world takes,
I can't feel the sun anymore,
I can't hear the rains beautiful pour.

The silver lining dulled and died,
My hearts grown cold and angry.
I've tried to write you something sweet,
But I'm afraid it always ends tangy.
Free verse, No edit. I don't even care anymore.
Gavin Betty Nov 2014
You are the smoke in my lungs,
Slowly climbing, to my brain,
the only thing, that keeps me sane.

For when the world is ending fast, you show me how to make it last.
This is for my two loves. Live happy, make it last.
Gavin Betty Jul 2014
It's hard to be positive,
when all I see,
Are clouds and thunder following me,
I see the beauty within the storm,
It does not cure this feeling torn,
I've checked the linings,
Gold and silver,
I've burned these hands,
The ones that killed her,
I will not beg to be forgiven,
Not claim insanity in which I was driven,
I was a fool that loved too much,
That believed in dreams and date and such,
So don't carve my name in marble or stone,
I don't want to be remembered, when I'm gone.
Gavin Betty Sep 2015
Your light voice seduced the drums of my ears,
You've replaced my long thin scars with hopes and dreams,
HOW DARE YOU.
You took this broken shell,
With no soul,
Or emotions, I destroyed them.
And gave me life. You gave me life.
Not the kind I now dread, but the kind that makes me want to live.
Gavin Betty Nov 2014
I wanted to change the world one day,
Then you told me to go back to sleep.
Gavin Betty Jul 2014
You are the dial tone,
Cold and abstract,
All I ever wanted to do was hold you.
Gavin Betty Jul 2014
I wouldn't miss it for the world,
But then you were taken from me,
You are the reason I won't give up.

— The End —
