I will do anything for you,

I would walk the earth,
I would try and kiss the stars,
I would try and give you the galaxy,
If I knew it would make you smile again.

I would turn your tears into gold,
I would be your shoulder to cry on,
I would be your light,
Because I know you're scared of dark,
If I knew it would make you smile again.

I would give up everything I stood for,
I would sacrifice my life for yours,
I would give my soul to the Devil himself,
And burn in hell for all enterinty.
If I knew if would make you smile again.

Because they say that the Saddest people are the Kindest,
Because they don't wish to see anyone else suffer the way they did.

You look at me as if I have no reason to be upset
As if I'm just overreacting over the whole situation
You left me
There is nothing else to it

You left me there all alone
Soaking in my own tears
As I was forced to absorb the pain that surrounded me
But all I did was just smile as if everything was okay

Everything is not okay!!!
Last night was supposed to be one of the most exciting nights of my life
But it wasn't
Instead, I just sat there crying in silence

I had been abandoned
Never once in my life did it hurt so bad to alone
I've always liked being alone
But last night it was just unbearably painful

Everyone constantly asking me, "where's your mom, is she here"
And constantly I gave the same exact answer,"No, she had to go to work"
Work my
I have no mother

Every single time I heard that same exact line I wanted to burst out into tears
I just wanted to say *
it and just walk home
But I didn't...
I just sat there and endured the excruciating pain

Over and over again I kept telling myself,"she'll be here, she wouldn't just leave me here"
So minute after minute, hour after hour I sat there starring at the door ,waiting for the moment she'd walk in
But she never did
But the fact she never came isn't what did it

As I awoke the next morning, the sky seemed dull
The birds were silent, and the smell of the morning dew was absent
My heart was beating so settle
As if the pain it endured was nothing but a dream

But it wasn't a dream
I knew very well that what happened last night was very real
But I didn't deny my heart and just went with it
I tried so hard to pretend like it didn't happen

Then she spoke,"Good morning sir"she said like she always does
But just as I was about to respond it all snapped
My imaginary world that I tried so hard to believe it was real
It dissipated into the wind

You dare spoke to me as if nothing happened
My hand shuck in anger
I was ready to erupt with mighty rage causing the very earth to scream in terrier
But instead i remained silent as I began to understand the rage of the abandoned

I love your eyes
and the way you look
into mine

I love your voice
and the words you use
to make me smile

I love your skin
specially when it's
against mine

I love your lips
and your kisses
every time

I love when you say
that you love me
more than I

I love the feeling
of your fingertips
through my spine

I love that with you
I can be myself
even though I'm shy

With you everything feels
like if I had met you
in another life

I love that you're tough
some might say the strongest
yet I've seen you cry

I love it when you say
that I'm yours
and that I can call you mine

I love that your name
is always
invading my mind

I love when you
call me beautiful
even though I think you lie

I love your hands
and our fingers
interwined

I love that
when I'm with you
everything seems to be fine

I love you
and I will
for the rest of time

You do not know pain
I repeat
You do not know pain
Not until you have watched the words "I do not care"
Fall out of the lips of the person you hold most dear
You do not know pain
Not until they look at you and smile
While you fall apart
You do not know pain
Not until they act as if the world is well
As yours comes crumbling around your feet
You do not know pain
Not until they have nothing left to say
Letting you pour yourself into apologies you have no right saying
You do not know pain
Not until they ignore your very presence
As you walk around turning into the ghost they want you to be
You do not know pain
Not until your love and your heart belong to such a cold soul
A cold soul that once warmed your insides and reminded you of hope
You do not know pain
Not until they steal your last ray of sun
And give it to someone who once meant nothing when you meant the world
You do not know pain
You do not know Pain
I need to stop writing such sad stuff
Its something I just can't deny
It causes all these tears I cry
The source of all my trust issues
The bane of all the love mis use
This forgiveness that I need    
Forgiveness in my self ,
so please
Inner me I'm begging you
Forgive my faults and burdens     through                                              
These last few years of teenage life
This something I just can't deny
The cause of all the tears i cry
This pain , so much
I don't know why
So inner me I'm begging you
Forgive myself          
And just  accept the truth

The very thought of this world brings me to my knees.
For I am tormented by all the wrong I've done and the grief I've caused.
I am afflicted with the agony of others.
I am able to discern the darkness in the hearts of mankind this is my affliction.
It brings great knots in my stomach as if my very inside were being crushed with great force.
Tears appear in the wells of my eyes as my throat swells from my attempts to refrain from screaming.
To observe the insolence and ignorance of the my loved is to feel my very bones burning under a fire until they begin to crack.
My people bring devastation to my heart.
Yet I endure these pains all the while remaining wise and fearing anger for with anger comes stupidity.

Can't you see me,
The pain in my eyes?
I'm used to this pain...
No body knows the real me.

Can you hear my heart cry?

I lay in bed at night.
I cry myself to sleep,
Hoping one day...
I won't awake.

Why you must ask?
       because, no one cares.
No one would cry over me.
No one on this earth would miss me.

As I lay in bed thinking,
My thoughts get worse.
And... I start to cut.
my tears filled eyes poor like falling rain
nothing in this world compares to my pain
my ability to feel happieness has died
now im dark and cold inside
piece by piece my heart has shattered
my body bruised and battered
these scars upon my stomache, legs and wrists
are all my problems in a neat tidy list
