I put myself through this hell just to get close to you. Even though I know you are with you know who.

I call you on the phone to hear your voice, yet I can also hear his voice.

You say you love me but it's not for me,I should just leave you two to be.

I used to look in your eyes and kiss your lips, now you do the same and kiss his lips.

I had plans to be with you until then end, but I know I'm barely a friend.

I showed you love and affection,but it had nothing on his affection.

Just a bad mistake in a though time,I was stupid enough to call you mine.
I am only a girl.
I may look a pearl,
but I am broken inside.
I've gotten myself into trouble and lied.
I have cut my soft skin.
I have committed much sin.
I have tried my best
to only be given a crest
naming me a failure
You will never know what I had to endure.
I gave myself away.
Fighting for freedom with each given day.
What used to be pure is now broken with no cure.
I know only one way,
to end the pain, but I won't say.
The people who stopped to stare
didn't really care.
So as I write my last words in pen.
I think of what will be my end.
This is not about me though I did write this. It is for all who feel this way. I want you to know that the future it's different than the present. So don't judge it like it is.
oh midnight how you kindle me
with your somber twilight,
bursting melancholy inspiration,
oh darkness you.
arousing the artist in lonely me,
you mysterious temptress you,
how your lovely murky mist
covers your opaque skin,
oh blackness you,
an icy caress with your
pitch dark breath
won't suffice me tonight.
i wish to ravage you,
oh nebulous you.
under blankets of shadow
we will be electric,
we shall make a dawn
the world will be jealous of.
Goodnight humans, although I know some of us won't be sleeping;)
I want to break the rules,
using her limits,
to keep her in line.
Slowly, I take my time,
watching her take it,
enjoying myself the whole time.
I have been born
over and over
many times ago.

In familiar pieces.
In different suits.

The new blood
rushing to my head.

I end up delivered
tangled in my own
fancy knots.

Waiting for someone
like you to unbind me
yet again.

My heart
is the sound of water swishing
at the bottom of a large jar.

My emotions
are soft and quiet, making ears strain
to hear them:
they are a small sigh leaving my body.

My soul is bread
left unattended in the oven.

And my body,
is a house visited
every so often,
by dinner guests bringing
smiles and light.
