What happens when we waken to a world of wealth
We only desire to be that much more wealthy

What happens when we waken to a world of crime
We only expect the worst around the next corner

What happens when we waken to a world of pain
We hurt inside and out and the pain is unbearable

but...

What would happen if we waken to a world of peace
We would be shocked, and wonder how long it will last

You tell me on facebook "ily, bby"
Not even taking the time to type it out...

You ask me constantly if I am going to leave
I lay in bed crying at night because you forget me

So many guys want to be in my life that it hurts...
It hurts that I have to break their trusting gaze

Because I'm looking towards you...
Looking, hoping praying that your love is true

When I met you I told you to call me Kitty or Blue
But instead you call me by my real name, something few people do

When we first got together we were hotter then fire and gasoline
Now we're barely a half empty lighter on a chain smoker

When did things fade away? When did things start to change?
When did you finally get sick of being with me?

You still tell me you love me... But I have to say it first...
Am I just a nuisance? Do I actually annoy you?

Tears fill my eyes as my feelings I compromise...
You are getting away with my ******

The ****** of my heart and soul, the flash in my eyes
I become the meekest child under your gaze

And I just no longer know what to do...
Because I fear I no longer love you...

I'd like to think I'm alone in the world,
Because when I realise I'm not the only one who's hurting,
I feel horrified that there are so many,
There's no beauty in numbers,
When you read the reason it's for,
Don't you feel a little sick?
There's many of us dying,
worse yet, we're the ones with the **gun.

She despised him
because of the threats
the promises
the cries
the screams


She abhorred him
because of the lies
the bruises
the scams

Hatred filled her heart
that was once full of joy
and from deep within
t'was all because of him
Abuse .. rather child abuse or spouse
abuse.. or any other kind..
should NOT be tolerated.
Too many scars....

you can take away my clothes
you can take away my home
you can take away my car
even my precious stones

you can take away my sight
you can take away my heart
you can take away my health
even my possessions

with all my worldly goods gone
and with my family all laid to rest
with all the good things in life gone bad
even those closest to me

you can't have it all
I've got my pride
I've got my soul
and I have God to lean on

stripped down bare
through and through
even with all of it gone
I still have enough love
to go around

The sun setteth beyond the ridge
alas, my heart is encased with pain
my fair Ebony..
my very own soul
my everything

The sun riseth beyond the waters
Alas, my heart is encased with fear
my soul is sinking
my lung collaspes
my world is gone

O'er yonder she awaits
and I, only I, longeth to see her again
my fair Ebony..
my very own soul
my everything

Goodbye, My Fair True Love
may we meet on the other side
until which I shall mourn
all the days of my life
til again I see thy sweet face

take it away
I can't stand it anymore
the pain
the fears
the heartaches

take it away
I don't want to see it
the scars
the loss
the heartbreaks

take it away
I want no part of this
my friends
family
unbearable

a river of hurt
cries from the grave
it's back
the killer
please...
take it away
Cancer is one of the many illnesses
that befalls upon so many men
and women, bringing pain
and suffering to us and to those
we love. If God's will,
let pray it away!

blown to bits
smashed dreams
raging winds
surround me
risen outrage
cries for help
no one around
to scream at
or to leer
ascended hostility
blowing my mind
causing my heart to race
to try and escape
but there are
no open doors
the raging winds
engulfed me
It is healthier to let out our anger
than to hold it in. It is better
to pour it out in ink
than to say something
you may regret.

I found that i could not write about you
It's not that there are no words to describe what you are
It's not a problem with words
It's a problem with feelings
How do k write without feelings?
No matter how much i have delved into my brain or how much effort i put into it i could not muster up anything about you that could light up a fire in me
And that's a problem
Because i cannot write about you
And if i cannot write about you
That means i don't love you

Why
Why do I try?
Why do I bother?
Why do I love you,
When you love another?

I'd give you the moon,
the stars and everything.
But you can't give back
an ounce of the same feeling.

humiliated
distorted
abandoned
scared

why did you leave me
what did I do wrong
I tried to comfort you
I tried to help you
I lent my shoulders
so you could cry on them
I lent my heart
so you could pour out to it

now tell me
what did I do wrong

Wondering silently, not a sound to be heard                                                  
A boy walks around head held down
A single tear slides down his pale cheek
His father doesn't cares
His mother was never there
His sister was killed selling her self on the street
To him it seems as if no one care

i peeled my layers away
gave you my raw wounds

all you did was pour salt on them
