Every time I'm alone, with nothing to do.
All I can think about is you.
I've tried to forget you, erase you from my mind.
But I guess that's kind of impossible, want to know why?

'Cause I really love you, like I love my own self.
But you let me fall down, like a book from your shelf.
I never thought you could ever find someone who in love could be so blind.
But now you've moved on, but I just keep crying on and on.

I know you don't notice me, 'cause I'm buried in my own screams.
Every cut I do on my skin, every blood I let from my wrist drip.
Represents all the pain I've sufffered;
Because of your ignorance, which just leaves me baffled.
                        
I don't want to keep feeling like this, but I guess I fell.
Under your stupidly surprising and breathtaking spell.
Because of your good looks and your incredible charm,
I've left marked most parts of my arm.

This is my way, not any other,
Though roots and stones yet cling to cover,
Though thirsting, thorny vines yet smother
The way I'll pick and shovel
And day by day reduce the rubble;
This way isn't easy, but it's worth the trouble.
A soul without a body,
floating through the air.

A bird without wings,
broken beyond repair.

A fish without water,
fighting for its air.

A sky without a sun,
causing nothing but despair.

A life without happiness,
nothing but unfair.

So far I have picked up
my phone several times
while wondering in between
separate thoughts
what is the nature of his
intentions and why doesn't he respond?

I hate games, I hated Sorry,
Balderdash, Operation

He mentioned that all girls are crazy
hit the right spot,
I don't really think I am
but that doesn't change the fact that it
stuck with me

If I go through motions enough
the should i
could i
no i won't
do you think 21 times would do the trick?
or was it 28 to break a bad habit?

I didn't think he was a bad habit

Oh, he was three jobs, and school
a sport to attend to, more games
more everything else

and I keep considering the scenarios
how do i approach this? How do I seem unlike
the 'crazy' women he's spoken about?
oh, she's positively daft
he must say to himself

I think.

I *think

I do not fear death.
But I do fear wasting life.

I don't fear the pain
of my skin burning,
the emptiness
of my last breath,
the aching
of leaving the ones I love.

I do fear
the lack of scars etched into my skin.
I do fear
the emptiness
of my thoughts.
I do fear
the tears that I will never cry
of a broken heart.

I want to meet all the people of the world
and share our ridiculous stories
before my lips become silent.
I want to make mistakes
and learn to be right the next time
before I see the Devil.
I want to fall in love with the Earth,
with the people that walk on it,
with the mud that gets under my nails,
with the sunlight and rain that my skin soaks up
before my body shrivels into ashes
flowing in the wind.

When the comes that I should die
and I still have not lived
I should beg the Lord
Give me one more day
I beg you, please!
I wish to feel the sun bake my withered skin.
I wish to smell the bitterness of the sea.
I wish to see the stars dance at night.
and hear the laughter of children running by.
Let me live
for one day
and I'll let an infant take my place.

I do not fear losing life
I only fear losing a life a that never got to live.
Please, I am open to critiquing. A friend inspired me to write about this and I want to know how to give a better image in the readers mind. Thank you, enjoy!
A river that flows gently and quietly, you may not be able to hear it unless you listen very carefully. But this river sings a song, it's own little tune. It's a song that isn't known very well because no one ever listens close enough, it's song is the most beautiful song you will ever hear, it yearns for someone, anyone to listen to it's magnifisant melody. But nobody will ever listen close enough to hear, the river's melody.........
This poem is for my best friend and "sister" Melanie...

I see you there
across the hall,
I wonder when
you'll see it all.

I see here there
right next to you,
why can't she see
my point of view.

But you don't care
and I wonder why,
I care for you
so much I'd die.

I'll show you all
the pain I feel,
I'll show you how
it's all not real.

But I can't live
when you're not here,
you chase away
all I fear.

I leave the hall
as I start to cry,
and I wonder if
I should just die.

I saw you there
across the hall,
and here I am
about to fall.
why keep believing
if pain is all im receiving
there is happiness but ends wit sadness so its not even
i love her and she keeps on leaving..
so yup, my luv corrupt
heartbroken is whats up
its in the air and thats all i keep breathing
every girl so cold its left me freezing...
