You are good,
That is how you will stay.
The darkest hour will never tick,
It is how we are made.
Hatred stalks regret,
like a hunter and it's prey.
Emily Raso Oct 2013
Waves of sound flow through our veins          
                                                                ­ no more shall we remain.
                   Surrender spirits to the sound,
                                                                ­      time slows down.
Bodies glide,
Let the mind undone.
Brain waves connect mankind.
                                                    All become one.
In this night our anthem is the melodic sound.
                                                          ­                 We’re on a high, we refuse to come down.

Each day when I awaken from a slumber,
I receive these feelings inside that I've felt far too many times.
As if I could cry in a second or die in a couple.
I go to sleep, I wake up, I go to sleep, I wake up.
I always wake up.
I wonder what it'd be like to wander deep into my thoughts,
A small figured being walking on the wires of my brain,
Uncovering each thought and decoding it thoroughly.
Maybe if I could become this shrunk down version and sneak in through
my ear I could finally see what's going on up there.
Do I even care,
Who's really there?
Is she nice and kind?
Would she give me time to talk?
Is time a slow ticking clock?
With each tick of the clock reminding my mind that I am still lost.
They say the best poets are both happy and sad,
How is it that you could be both?
Happy in moments but sad in most.
Looking down on life,
Ready to choke.
Emily Raso Dec 2012
It's enlightening how it ended like this
with the sun kissing our lips,
and how it shines through our fingertips.
The window is our projector, playing
visuals beyond compare, the sun, the breeze
the smell of the Air.
When I lie on this bed frame, I touch your hair
The feeling of bliss, surrounds me, it holds me with care.
when our souls connect, our passion is true
There is no where in this earth I would rather be then lying here next to you.

Left Your house at the break of dawn.
Walked out the door, everyone with sleeping eyes.
In the cold I'd come to realize, at the break of dawn no one tries to glide.
Passers keep passing by, and no one gives a shout or waves goodbye.
The fog admits a gloomy light, just to see if you'd notice your reflection on the street signs.
I keep pacing with both feet on the pavement. Little thoughts reach my mind, only thoughts
and feelings of home-life.

And I've come to realize, at the break of dawn no one tries to glide,
Passers keep passing by, no one gives a shout or waves goodbye.

I always wondered if the houses knew you were alive, with each knock of the door, the bell ignites.
Does it ever wonder if you're a passer by, or someone who once layed inside.
at the break of down in the softness of your sheets, with each girl laid then bagged for release.
I'm just hoping this house remembers me.
It's getting cold and I've got a case of tired feet.

And I've come to realize, at the break of dawn no one tries to glide,
passers keep passing by, no one gives a shout or waves goodbye.

When I let myself in, the steps creak. A near silent welcoming upon my feet.
I'm just happy my house remembered me, giving me warmth, and mending my tired feet.
Sometimes I wish the house could speak. Asking questions,
"Was the walk a defeat? "
"Did the passers by speak? "
"Did those girls get their release?"
"How are your sheets?"
"Do they comfort your curves?"
"Does sadness come in herds?"

And I've come to realize, at the break of dawn no one tries to glide,
passers keep passing by, no one gives a shout or waves goodbye.
Even the house doesn't know if you're alive.

These silences are filled with
All the tortures
                       Of lonely despair.
Taking Apart my mind,                 Clinging To the air.
The walls, They talk,
                                 whispering silent Hymns of charcoal fares.

I can see a new day, when I view aspirations for the future,
Now when I awake, I give thanks for the roof over my shoulders.
I used to pray, not to the God you all know.
But to the darkness inside, asking it to please go.
These thoughts in mind, aren't giving me release.
So I set fire to my mind, and realized the true benefit of having peace.
With my Body, My identity, and the person I was destined to be.
I used to sit and wonder how it could possibly be,
A girl with such intelligence ended living life like she was lost in a dream.
I am tired and sick of what I've become to be.
Today, is the Greatest day I have ever known. I will not live for tomorrow, Tomorrow's much to long.
