Can't you feel my screaming heart?
I feel all yours and it's unbearable
To know everyone's intention may seem ineffable
Though my passion is emotion and empathy my art

Dwelling silent in a crowded room
To the right a pursuit of lust
And my left a lack of trust
Empty grins with their facade and doom

Another item has been stolen
My peers in an unknowing uproar
I see the culprits guilt pour
From his weary eye and coven

The ***** swoons the love of an unworthy patron
She gazes at me with a tempting question
Attempting to construct my envy and affection
My will is stronger than that seducing notion

The lonely man makes a joking inquisition
All the rest see it as a laughable gesture
I look with sad eyes to see his slouching posture
He wants to die in his pathetic position

The muscle bound dunce smacks his lips
Glorified as the acrobatic conversationalist
Strapped men in shackles and girls can't resist
His compensated shortage of yays and yips

A quiet smile looks on with a perfect mask
Playing pretend with an inglorious burden
Faking a life inside of her chaotic garden
Of hollow theatrics in which she basks

There goes the lad with his flippy hair
The little ladies want a picture with the fellow
Oh you're so rad the flocking lasses bellow
And, you wonder why I don't seem to care?
Can you tell from the look in my eyes;
That I can't wait for those words to arise?
Even if I've been sincere since the beginning
All my intent and purpose results in toil sinning
Our egotist needs will surpass what we feel
Longing for change and seeing past what's real

It's a truth I've personally come to trust
That love can't be founded on a whim of lust
And even the fallen will see what is right
As every deep lover can't see without sight
Fixated on sensation with one goal in mind
The comfort of leaving all sorrow behind

It comes with a price - to create a new pang
A promise of sadness that fate solely sang
Traversing the stream with a tunneled stare
The trout flows down from it's lair
Seldom feeling the dry earthly air
Or glancing upon a passing swimmer
No smile or twitch; not even a glimmer

The current sways just as the wind
And, carries the fish as if it's pinned
To no single thought of how it had sinned
Onto friends and alike there is no concern
For taking a life or spilling an urn

As then just becomes a memory of now
And, something is nothing if you allow
Time to wipe the sweat from your brow
Or, have clocks watch as you sit around
Waiting alone for the burial mound

To form inside of the weedy undertow
Where no one seems to care to know
Why they are destined to live below
The outer space that we call sky
Where talkers frolic and thinkers sigh
You can feel it,
Deep inside your heart and soul,
You feel something is not right,
Someone needs your help.

You see her sitting alone,
Silent, head down.

You sit beside her,
Ask her what's bothering her.

She insists she's fine,
Nothing is wrong,
But you know it's not true.

You get that feeling in your heart,
When she is feeling down,
You can always tell,
Even if she tries to hide it.

You begin to wonder why
She won't tell you what's wrong.
Maybe she doesn't trust you,
Or maybe she's embarassed by her problem.

You give up on trying to figure it out,
But you'll never give up on the person you love.
You may not know what's wrong,
But you hold her in your arms,
Tell her everything will be ok.

She buries her face in your chest,
And you sit there for a long while.
Just holding her, gently rocking.
After what seems like an eternity,
She slowly looks up at you,
And smiles.

That beautiful smile that warms your heart,
Makes you smile, too.
Knowing you were there for her,
You helped her in her time of need,
Without even knowing what the problem was.

You look deep into her eyes.
They say more than she ever could with words.
She loves you.
You sweetly kiss her beautiful smile,
And hold her in your arms,
Watching the clouds change colors as the sun sets.
I'm not much of a poetry person.

My best friend Adreishka Moonlight (She is a poet here) told me to try it out. Here I am, there you are reading this.... Nice how life works huh?
You: Want to go get ******?

Me: No...

You: Want to get drunk?

Me: No..

You: Want to go beat someone up?

Me: No.

You: Want to get beat up for being an *******?

Me: Yes.

Just **** me. I will truly be alive then.
Why did love come my way?
Why is it hard to express?
Why did your ***** blond hair and blue eyes **** me in?
Why has your presence vacuumed me in?
Why choose me when I will hurt you?
My sister Adreishka Moonlight wrote this one for me. We fell in love with someone with the same features. So she felt I could have it.
Hello?

"Is Andrew home?"

This is him speaking.

"Heyyy. It's me _"

"I need your help..."

Ok? Are you hurt?

"I'm..... Well I'm not hurt yet...."

I can come over if you'd like.

"No you wouldn't like to see me like this."

Her speech is slurred...

Are you drunk?

"No I don't drink. I'm high though. Hehe."

I'm coming there right now.

"No... no you.. you can stay. I have my friend here with me."

Who is your friend?

"Calabar."

Who's that?

"Calabar. You know? 22 Calabar. He used to be your friend."

Put it down. I'm on my way.

"Whatever."
