Stubborn Love.
Delaney Ross Aug 2013
"Meet me in the park,
at around half past two.
Sit down on the bench,
I'll be there to meet you."
The time came and past,
the hour grew late,
"Where is he?" she thought
"Isn't this just great?"
Both sat on their benches,
searching for one another,
if they had only looked past the marble statue,
they would have seen the other.
For she sat facing the East,
and he was looking West.
And neither saw each other,
She thought "He's just like the rest."
The dark fell across them,
and each stood up, defeated;
he put the ring back in his pocket,
assuming he'd no longer need it.
They never looked around the statue,
or saw the other sitting,
both were far too stubborn,
so the ending seems quite fitting.

Sinking into the blue.
Delaney Ross Jul 2013
Maybe I'm crazy.
Maybe it's my fault.
Tell yourself something,
then make it come true.
Hiding things within my eyes,
sinking into the blue.
I wish I could put into words
exactly how I feel,
but it doesn't make sense to you.
So I'm not gonna try.
You'll always wonder
what the specks were in my eye.
Mysterious pits and swirls,
leading down into darkness;
reflections on the water
of dreams coming true.
Ceaseless longing, endless praying,
sinking into the blue.
Aqua seafoam shame
blatant on my face always.
Misquoted misery staring ahead.
I guess nobody understands.
I just want to stop
the scars below my hands.
The body does what the mind wants,
so which would you like to help?
Because neither is okay.
Your dreams for me won't come true,
I've already sunken into the blue.

Lost the stars.
Delaney Ross Jul 2013
Don't listen to my words,
when you get me like that.
They aren't really me,
I'm just roaring like an overgrown cat.

I'm trapped and can't escape
from the monster that's inside.
The innocent little girl
is forced to run and hide.

You wouldn't understand,
because you're in control;
my common sense is stolen,
all good ****** into the black hole.

The demon, the animal
is trying to **** me.
I'm trying to escape this,
if only people could just see.

I'm stuffed to the brim with hate,
because nobody unclogs it with love.
I've tried to confide in friends,
even contacted the man above.

Nobody yet has helped me,
you can tell that by the scars.
If you listened you'd hear the screams
of a child whose eyes lost the stars.

Bathing in Starlight.
Delaney Ross Jul 2013
I sit and I stare at the moon,
she is bathing in starlight.
I hope and I wish for you
to be with me tonight;
and every small noise seems louder
and louder inside my head.
My side, it grows colder. As cold
as your heart when you laid in my bed.
I know in my soul you are laughing
and loving with her right now.
I know it would hurt her, but you
should be with me somehow.

The dust dances 'cross the floor,
swirling and twirling when you're not here;
and my heart isn't still at all,
weeping and pounding when you aren't near.
No I can't live without you,
I fear it's my last night.
You should be loving me,
I won't give up my fight;
but you're too busy loving her,
too busy leaving me tonight.

The sun starts to rise in the East,
and I haven't slept, not one wink.
I'm hardly still breathing now.
I'm hearing your voice and I can't think;
with each passing moment, the clock's
ticking louder and louder inside my head.
My skin's getting colder, as cold as
the place where you laid in my bed.
I know in my soul you are happy and free
loving her right now.
I know it would **** her, but you should be with me somehow.

The dust dances 'cross the floor,
swirling and twirling when you're not here;
and my heart isn't still at all,
weeping and pounding when you aren't near.
No I won't live without you,
this is her last night.
'Cause should be loving me,
I won't give up my fight.
Don't worry about loving her,
you will be with me tonight.

I sit and I stare at the moon,
she is bathing in starlight.
Won't regret what I've done,
if I have your love tonight.

Wasted Time.
Delaney Ross Jul 2013
I waited for you
for nothing.
I can't believe I was so blind.
I waited for you
to see you,
real life is nothing like online.
When at last I finally saw you again,
I think we were both a little disillusioned
Though you were sweet and kissed me when you left,
I've not heard a single word from you,
you must think I'm a loser.
For months I stayed up late at night,
just to have a chance to chat,
while you were off overseas,
now I just feel like a prat.
I should have known it wouldn't work out.
I should have seen this coming.
You don't think I'm as great as you hoped,
and I don't think you're all that stunning.
I removed your picture from my phone,
I can't believe things ended up this way.
I was expecting us to fall in love,
not to give up after one day.
But it's fine,
I'm okay,
I only waited almost a year.
I'll find someone else,
I won't have to wait for.
Thanks for everything, my dear.

Teenage Ambitions
Delaney Ross Jul 2013
A sweet kiss too long lingers,
Burning sensation in your fingers,
As you listen to the singers
Sing thier song.

Walking out of the room you stare,
Wonder if you're really there,
Run your fingers through his hair,
No time to turn back now.

Now you've done it all,
You took the fall,
I'll take a glass, tall,
this story's always the same.

Teenaged ambitions,
Completely failed the mission,
Lost in translation, or transmission,
We've all lost this here fight.

When everyone knows,
This is just how the story goes,
Maybe we'll dodge the blows,
Being trown at us by life.

Take a stand for who you are,
Be it here or there, near or far,
Be that one bright star,
When the rest are just the sky.

Tearing at the seams
Delaney Ross Jul 2013
Just call me a doll,
that's just what I am,
a bunch of stuffing,
shoved in a ****** sham.

I start to rip and tear,
so i stitch myself back together,
but the stuffing's falling out,
I'll never be alright, ever.

I'm pulling at the threads,
trying to fix the loose ends,
but they're coming untied,
and the needle is starting to bend.

I paint on this stupid smile,
so the world will never see,
what's inside this stupid doll,
the doll I call "me."

The world will always let you down,
there's hardly any light,
so just give up already,
is it even worth the fight?

Alone
Delaney Ross Jul 2013
I've got nobody no more.
They all flew out the open door.
I cry,
I cut,
I cry some more,
I lay here dying on the cold hard floor.
My body reeks,
the stench of war.
What am I even fighting for?
My clothes are ripped,
my skin is tore.
It's over now,
of this I'm sure.
"Save me from this life!"
I do implore,
but everyone's still keeping score.
Just one last breath, I say.
One more.
But I know my lungs are much too sore.
Why do I dream,
these dreams of lore?
There's nothing left down in my core.
Just waking up seems the hardest chore.
To just escape,
go to the shore,
it's more than I deserve to ask for.
It seems my cross I've not yet bore,
I wonder if I can take much more.
Please spit, cuss, call me a *****,
and watch me fight my lonely war.
I bet you'll laugh but think me poor.
Don't turn away,
when at my hands
my own blood does pour.
Listen for the lion to roar.
My shame on my arm I've always wore.
Never me, I swear I swore.
Now it's me that I abhor.
Still death leaks from every pore.
It's too late to even think to restore.
One last breath, I say.
None more.

WonderFalls
Delaney Ross Jul 2013
Fairytales lost in the fog,
drowning in a sea of smog.
Walking away from your own front lawn,
going, going, going, gone.
Trying to catch the rain in your hands
leaving little puddles on deserted lands.
Wishing to make some dreams out of air,
running hands through windswept hair.
Leave me pacing in the forrest of walls
Send me a picture from WonderFalls?

Father.
Delaney Ross Jul 2013
I can't stand this life,
everything's a battle.
Walking on pins and needles;
seen better treatment towards cattle.

One more word,
I swear I'll explode.
My life is a mine field,
switch into survival mode.

Pack up your curse words,
take them far away.
Get rid of your accusations,
I don't have the patience today.

Calling me every name in the book,
telling me to move.
No care at all for my feelings,
don't worry I hate you too.

I've got my warpaint on,
I won't stand and be your target.
My bags are slowly filling.
I'll be leaving when I can, I swear it.

Love and Hate
Delaney Ross Nov 2011
When a child is raised in hate,
That’s all it will ever know,
But when raised with hope and love,
Only then will the child grow.

And since I received the former,
Not the latter of the two,
I’ll always be trapped in this dark world,
And I will never understand love like you.

Take my cold heart,
With your soft, tender warm hands.
Lead me somewhere far away,
I can only hear your demands.

Love me fully and completely,
Or it won’t be love to me at all,
Hold my hatred in your hands,
And like sand, away let it fall.

I need love like flowers need sun,
To even feel like I’m alive.
Love or pain is what it takes,
As o’er the cliff you watch me dive.

Hate is all I’ve ever known, boy.
It’s all I’ve ever felt.
But if someone knew just how to love me,
Maybe then my stone heart could melt.

Until I have a love so true,
I will cringe with every cut,
You'd think the pain may bother me,
You may think me just a nut.

But when I find a love,
More than anything I’ve ever known,
Then I’ll leave the world of haters,
And with the lovers, I’ll have grown.

A love like ours.
Delaney Ross Nov 2011
I once told you that I loved you.
And I meant that as a challenge,
for you to love me til forever,
and when that's over, love me more.
Because the shape of a heart has no end to it,
and when mine stops beating,
that's not the end to this.
You see, a love so true doesn't die,
shrink,
or fizzle out,
a love like you I will keep forever,
or at least as long as I can.
And trust me darling if I could, I would **** the darkness,
heal the pain,
stop all your storms,
bring you the stars
and silence the noise.
Because I want to hear your every breath,
and your heart beat in tune with mine.
A love like ours,
it deserves every second.
Right?

— The End —
