The wordless speaker
Constantly babbling
No meaning, no passion
Blindly stumbling
Bit by bit
I try and copy down her words
But she's not saying anything
Tears hit the paper
I cry for the woman with nothing
All I can do is stare
And search for signs of life

Take the wooden spoon
and dig me out
make me hollow
send me afloat
down the river
away, away
from nothing
towards nothing
Ill stare at the sky
count the stars
listen
and I wont return
because Im hollow
and you made me this way.

Yes, no
Two simple Words
And I did not say either
Lying there
Suffocating
My heart pounding on fire

My mind screaming
Wishing i was somewhere else
Wishing someone would save me
Tears streaming down my face
My whole body shaky

He took what was mine
I can never get back
A gift that is no longer
Now that he is out of my life
I hope this makes me stronger

Leaving behind
Words on the streets
Walking away
From people you meet
Moving on
It's all in the past
Going crazy
Happening so fast
Falling down
And getting back up
Being bruised
Or stuck in a rut
Wanting more
But never achieving
Seeing things
And always believing
Emily Madeira Aug 2010
Imperfections
Coming together
My face and yours
Light as a feather
It's all love
Doesn't matter your gender
Go forward or stop
I mean, it's whatever
Don't know why
I could stay here forever.

Heartbreak and boys
Is there nothing else on my mind?
Am I another dumb struck teen
Who falls in love all of the time?
Please someone come slap me
Splash cold water on my head
Rather than be a love struck teen
I wish that I were dead
Emily Madeira Aug 2010
I like to let the words sit
Marinate inside my soul
I need the rhymes to be good
So people swallow them whole

I want tears to pour out their eyes
To cry, to sob, to laugh
I want them to ask for more
And never stop coming back
