To desire the golden path of life,

Is rather difficult when lost in a sea of despair

Exiled in a bleak hole,

Suffocating in only rage and regret

The heart screeches, begging to heal

Shunned, no longer able to cope,

with its inner turmoil

Feeble and confused, it is simple to brainwash-

obscurity creates darkness that creeps in.

Feeling nothing but the jabs of torment

The loneliness enjoys taunting me so.

Why do I let myself drown thousands of times?

Yet I still attempt to climb

Rottenness scrapes away the good, crushing my hope.

My heart falls to ashes and madness seeps in.

Intense failure decides to mock and cackle hideously-

because my soul was dragged away.

When our pain
And hurts
Bring us to the ground
We are broke to pieces
And pushed around
By people
And their faults
Which make us feel
Even worse
Than we did when we started off
For faults and failures
Are where we find
Pain and guilt
That we can't leave behind
For the past failures
Show through our fake smiles
And destroy what's left of us
Once and for all
Giving up
We take the fall
Not caring about the pain
For we are numb
From soaking in the rain
For we all have our faults...

If ever
I get too old to laugh
**** me

                   By Phil Roberts

you sent me
more mixed signals
than i could count on my fingers
but i always went back for more
because the pain was worth it

The intensity of your gaze
Could turn me into ashes
Wishing it's a stare of amaze
But darling, I know, we lost our chances

That look in your eyes
Are to cover the lies
And the look in my eyes
Are pretentious, a disguise
that I knew nothing of your crime

I'll take the fire in your eyes
Even if it will burn me alive
I don't want to hear the truth
Love me still, even if it's just a lie
