Close Your Heart


Say of me I am living still
Because the smell of God
fills my nostrils
Say of me that I am living still
Because the Devil’s
laughter fills my ears
Say of me I am living still
Because the ghost of my past
still haunts my present
Say of me that I am living still
Because while my mind is
in Heaven,
my body is in Hell.
Say of me I am living still
Because the heart inside
of me,
is no longer mine
Say of me I am living still
Because when I see
the light
I run towards it
Say of me that I am living still
Because the life
I wanted was
not grasped with
loving hands
Say of me I am living still
Because my words to God
went unanswered
Say of me I am living still
Because the self-control
I’ve never withheld
has been stolen
within moments
Say of me that I am living still
Because the light
at the end of
the tunnel
has been snuffed
out
Say of me I am living still
Because the laughter
has turned into
forbidden screams
Say of me  I am living still
Because happiness
was never an
option
Say of me I am living still
Because the smiles
were all porcelain
Say of me I am living still
Because the choice
of life was
never mine
to make
Say of me I am living still
Because when I
look into your
face
all I see is
melancholy smiles
Say of me I am living still
Because the tidal
waves of my life
are beginning to
pull me under
Say of me I am living still


Because even though
you know how
to surf life’s waves
You’ve never taught
me
Say of me I am living still
Because the monsters
lurking in the
shadows
are now in
the light
Say of me I am living still
Because the stars
are now black holes
Say of me I am living still
Because the lyrics of your
love have faded
into tattered
music sheets
Say of me I am living still
Because the blue of your
eyes have turned
cerulean
Say of me I am living still
Because Romeo and
Juliet have turned
into a faded
fiction
Say of me I am living still
Because the sun
no longer illuminates
my mind
Say of me I am living still
Because your laughter
has turned into
nothing but poignant
static
Say of me I am living still
Because God has
forbidden me to
enter the gates
of Heaven
Say of me I am living still
Because Lucifer has
invited me for
a strong drink
Say that I am living still
Because my mind
is no longer clear;
but is home to
demons
Say of me I am living still
Because those words
were never carved onto
my grave. -DDF
She awoke that morning
saddened by her failure,
at the fact that air still moved
through her delicate lungs.
Alcohol lingered on her smiling lips
from last night's fit of sadness
and
cuts lined her forearm,
but still no one knew.
No one knew that the girl with the pretty
smile wanted nothing more than to end her
perfect
little
life.

Take me.

Take me where words can't,
Meet me there with your hand held out,
You should know,
When I take it,
I'll never let go,
I'm not who came before,
I won't wear a mask,
I'll show you everything that dwells inside my soul,
And I ache to read the pages of yours,
Take me there, where words can't,
Let's turn these lines into reality.
He turned and kissed her,
He put his hand on her stomach to greet the new life, his voice a purr.
Off to work he goes,
But no one knows.
Until this day,
When our nation was turned into a useless fray,
Where everything will soon be a monotonous gray.
He forgot his keys,
So he doesn’t leave.
Maybe if he would of stayed a little longer,
His life wouldn’t of been stolen,
From terrorist mongers.
He pulls away,
Not knowing about this day.
“Goodbye, my dear. You have nothing to fear.”
A silver car,
She thinks, “He won’t travel too far.”
Little does she know,
He will soon go.
Go to a place with angels and things,
Where he will gain his wings.
When the news announces the attack,
Her heart has been snatched, never to be given back.
Going to the towers,
Her heart plucked, like a balding flower.
The towers falling,
The children calling,
A fatherless baby brought into the world,
Never to be known as “Daddy’s Little Girl”.
That was the day her walls fell down,
That was the day, her emotions were in a bound.
Clutching the Hopeless,
The world in a mess.
Our nation too soon to be broken,
Before anyone could have spoken.
Our people will climb back to their knees,
Open your eyes, please.
We can tolerate pain for so long,
Before we proceed to right the wrong.
(We will never forget)

fall in love with a boy
who makes the world spin a little slower,
but still holds onto your hands
as if life were his final dance

Let me.

I want to take her pain away,
First with my heart,
and then my hands,
lips,
and tongue
I watch you,
A life that couldn’t be more beautiful.
My hand on yours;
You’ll never leave, I’m sure.
When you’re not looking,
I stare at your beauty;
Something I’ve sealed in a jar,
I can pick the days I want,
And lift it from a shelf.
I’ll stare at it, and admire you.


I could go a day without
your beauty,
I loved you for more
than that. But, my love
won’t ever bring you back.
I just need
you with me, I need
your voice in my ears.
The day you said goodbye, I threw the jar
Away, Shattered like my world.
Your beauty leaked onto the carpet,
And before I could scrub it away,
It soaked and stayed.
Uhh, Here.
I don't understand.
Why are you screaming?
I don't understand.
When did these broken bottles get here?
I don't understand.
Why are you hurting me?
I don't understand.
Bruises ring your eyes.
I don't understand.
When did my little boy turn
into such a horrid man?
I don't understand.
Why did you put the gun
to your head?
I don't understand.
Why you left me, in the
Form of a traveling bullet.
I don't understand.
Why you had to leave your
Mommy?
I don't understand.
(Not my best)
I pleaded and prayed so hard for you to stay.
But God must not have heard me,
Because you were gone.
A wisp of a memory,
A pile of clothes in the corner.
All I had left were your scents;
Floating around in every room of mine.
"Don't leave."
I knew those words by heart now.
I could remember your eyes when you
Said, "goodbye."
The worst words.
The words that tore me apart.
I never wanted to give my heart
away; But you came along,
Without permission, and snatched it.
I can't even remember your words,
Besides that one "goodbye."
I mean, all I ever wanted was a *******
Life with you. -DDF
(feeling depressed and nostalgic)
Don't go.
It's not your time yet.
Don't go.
I cannot see this life without you.
Don't go.
I'll hold onto you, I promise.
Dont go.
Are you still here?
Don't go.
Are you still breathing?
Don't go.
I love you. I love you so much.
Don't go.
I know you're struggling, but I am too.
Don't go.
How can you leave me here?
Don't go.
I need you, I need us.
Don't go.
You're gone now. But I'm still holding
On. Remember? I promised.  -DDF
