If you're hearts broken
i'd love to say I could fix it
but I'm hopeless
and I just can't help you
because you're afraid to tell yourself
that you love you
because you might not love you back the same
if you see yourself as beautiful
than you will think you're beautiful as well
and if you believe that you've got a great mind
then you'll never hate being around you
and you keep those feelings hidden
then you will never know
just how
you feel about you
telling you is not up to me
nor he or she or anyone other than you
so don't be sad or you won't be glad
because the one that you love will be crying because of you
but when you smile at them
they can't help but smile back
because you love you
you just have to let you know...

Children scream and cry
Mothers scream and lie
Fathers scream and say good bye
Family's fight and live their lives

Holds her daughter close
Daddy's gonna be okay
Daddy don't walk away
We love you anyway

Daddy don't say good bye
Without you Mommy might die

Kisses on the head daddy goes away
Two years go bye  
I see daddy's eyes
Smiles all day but mommy is afraid
She locks the door and screams good bye

Pulls a gun from her bag
Kisses me on the head
And says good bye
Screaming it was all because daddy said good bye

Lost Cause
She always seemed to like winter
Its cold bitter air keeping everyone at bay
giving them a reason to stay away
letting her enjoy the pain
the sting of the freezing wind
it sometimes equates
to the knife that she draws across her skin
something her Christian parents call a sin
but that's not even where her problems begin
slicing and sawing her precious wrists
the bloods seeps out and kisses her again, and again

Some days she wishes she didn't exist
she started taking risks
not caring if she missed
her veins
she only wanted the pain
it gave her something to gain
as opposed to the shame,
that she receives from
leaving sombre scenes,
indifferently at ease

She was like a slave
to her maze of a mind
until one of those days
he came along
and she caved in his arms
he waived away
any harm in her way
taking away any source of pain
he came before,
she wasted away
and was lost to the grave
now, whenever in pain,
she calls out his name
and he'll dash through the cold rain
then take her away
to a special place where
she'll be cherished.

Lost Cause
He walked alone
down the lonely road
of which nobody had known

She, at a spry 23,
tried to forget all those bad memories which
gave her those bad dreams

He was tortured every night
She ran from every fright
but they both might do it tonight

A melancholy suicide
to rid the painful thoughts inside
One a pill of cyanide,
the other a bullet in his side

They both died

She went quick
He slowly limped, and
wished he knew why
She did it so soon

His legs finally folded
and as he fell,
he stole a glimpse of her cold eyes
and now he knows why

Her laugh, her smile
      it made me wait awhile
          for that wild child with a tender touch

She expelled the dark in that wintry park
      and that, my dear, sparked the start
            of my now warmed heart

But I'm still waiting
     For   you   to    play   your    part.

If I am to fall
Let me fall hard
Let me hit the ground and shatter myself

But If I am to fly
Don't cut my wings
Let me be free
Let me see from the sky
Way Up High
Let's not imagine
a perfect life
a life without hate
a life without the guy with the scythe
a life where we all
have a special meaning
a life without
all the terrible feelings
that threaten to throw us over the edge
now stop imagining and look at your life
I bet you still think your imagining that perfect life
because your life is the life you want it to be
and no matter what
someone loves you
so don't let that person seem like a ******
show them that you
love you too.
I don't want you to be overused
in my poetry
but the truth is I'm still a poet
and you're still my muse.
You're just so pretty to me
I'll tell you everyday
until you believe me
when I say
you're just so beautiful
to me
and I know that
someday you'll begin to see
you're just so stunning
it's true
but what's sad it that
I'll never be with you
because I'm no one to you
because you're almost a queen
but for now you're still a princess
and there is no magic bean
to help me climb to the treasure
you mean more than any
golden eggs
so don't spare me a penny
because I don't
want a dime
the only thing I want right now
is to see you one last time.
Because you're just so brilliant
remarkable, inspiring and just so pretty
and it's a shame that you don't see it too
it'll always be a pity
until you notice that
that beautiful girl staring back through the mirror
is you.
You're just so brilliant
it's true
and now I think I've fallen in love
with you.
Don't cry for me
don't smile for me
because no one can see
the people beneath
these masks that we wear
to hide our pain, but
when we find someone who cares
the masks start to break
and fall apart
when someone happens
to touch your heart,
and see's your inner beauty
maybe they'll say,
"Hey aren't you a cutie"
the pain is gone
and it will stay away
it's gone for a while
at least for today...
