I knew you would forget, just as soon as the sun would rise,
But your words, cliché and hollow, came as no surprise.
I asked but one small favor, at both break and close of day,
Just to hear you say hello, but now, hope's bled away.

El
A poets heart
Is that of torn and tattered pages
Filled with words that beg to be expressed
That most will deny, and keep repressed
So filled with vengeful hate,
Twisted love,
Sweat-breaking fear,
Painful anger,
Created not by the friends they keep close
But the demons they host
My heart is that of a poet
Cold, but true
And if you understand what the demons mean,
Well then
You might be one too.
i want a new name
a new birth
a new childhood
a new poison
a new addiction
a new lust
a new love
a new confusion
a new heartbreak
a new hatred
a new suicide
i want a new name
I don't remember how to write poems anymore.
This is a ******* list.
I hate my name, I want a new one.
And George has decided to be particularly cruel tonight.
Mid
Kids
are mashing their heads
into walls
having a mid-life crisis
at 18.
I just hate my life
