The Fates
Erin-Taylor Jan 2013
Life* is a *beautiful lie.
It is deceitful,
A sneaky snake.
It can take you out, like you were brought in.
Death is a painful truth.
It makes you believe,
You're in a life worth living,
Til' you're gone from this life.
Life is a beautiful lie.
Death is a painful truth.
These lies stab you like a knife.
Stealing things, being unforgiving.
It makes you think that you're achieving.
Life is a beautiful lie.
Takes you away, from all that you've been.
Drown your soul in a lake.
Making errors, very repeatful.
Death is a painful truth.
But people are only pretending,
This life we get, is only a lending.

...Through My Eyes...
Erin-Taylor Jan 2013
Broken and bruised, torn and hurt.
My body aches, lack of sleep and nutrition.
Self-mutilation, starvation, and abused.
Rough around the edges, but sweet to the core.
You’d never know though, through all the hurt, all that is seen is rebellion.
No one knows this world in which I live.
It’s a terrible one.
One where I wish fairytales existed.
Once where I wish I was never born into this despicable existence.
I’m a shadow in a land of darkness, a lost soul without a purpose.

No one cares... (Sonnet)
Erin-Taylor Jan 2013
Your limbs are withered and gray,
Your leaves are crumpled and torn.
Your roots hold you in dismay,
Mother Earth lets you mourn.

This world is killing you,
These people don't care about your health.
Even the sky isn't as blue.
People nowadays only care about their self.

Yet, no one notices, no one minds,
Everything is dying,
Even your pines.
But not a soul knows, that you're crying.

Soon you will die and wither away,
But the world will just go on like everything's okay....

Gone, you went away
Erin-Taylor Jan 2013
Nothing could have prepared me for this day.
The day my soul dispersed.
The day when you went away.

Life is now gloomy and gray.
I knew from then on I was cursed.
Nothing could have prepared me for this day,

There was nothing no one could say.
Words just made everything worse.
The day when you went away

My feelings will now decay.
Turning me around in reverse.
Nothing could have prepared me for this day,

That moment just chooses to replay.
The day death got you first.
The day when you went away

Now forever my heart will stray.
Wishing the day you died, it burst.
Nothing could have prepared me for this day,
The day when you went away.

Ode to my Heart <3
Erin-Taylor Jan 2013
Heart, oh heart you keep my existence!
Keep on pumping, you show much persistence.
How many times do you break?
Are you getting tired from this heart-ache?
Nevertheless you move on strong,
Making the beats last very long.
Oh, and how you love with such force!
Making me dizzy, taking the beats off course.
The beats get irregular and are hard to manage,
With our continuous meetings, it’s such a disadvantage.
So thank you, my little worker, for doing oh so well!
Forever you shall pump in my chest, forever you shall dwell.

Pretense
Erin-Taylor Jan 2013
It is a midnight hue,
A blue-ish black.
The lies that flew,

And stabbed my back.
My heart is dark and cold
The warmth and loving it does lack.

Now I’m empty, but oh you were so bold.
Taking me in and revealing to me your love.
As to let me think I was worth more than gold,

As if I was something heavenly from above.
Now I know it is purity you unfold.

Making pretend you’d give me free-love.
Never again shall you lie to me.
I hid myself in, almost like a glove.

You are gone and I can finally see.
Love was always priced and never free.
Erin-Taylor Jan 2013
The wind howls outside.
It’s getting pretty chilly.
Whipping at your face.
Dark rain clouds follow you here,
In the desolate cold night.

Nothing (Tanka)
Erin-Taylor Jan 2013
My soul is gone.
My heart was taken by you.
Never to love again.
You’ve broken down my spirit,
Lonely now and forever.

I'm So Cold
Erin-Taylor Jan 2013
I'm sitting in a dark room
Alone by myself in a corner
Where no one is able to reach me
Where no one is able to reach my cold stone heart
You'll never see who I really am
No one will
Ever
It's just not possible for me to open up
After I've been shut tight for so long
So don't ask why I won't let you in
Wonder with your imagination
All the pain I've felt
Then you'll know just exactly why
I'm so **cold.

Why do you hate me so?
Erin-Taylor Jan 2013
Nothing makes sense,
Everything’s tense.
Why do you hate me?
What did I ever do to thee?
You glare from a distance,
I can see your resistance,
And urge to **** me with your glance,
Your gaze evil and hot, like when embers dance.
I’d like to know, so please tell me why,
Otherwise, I ought to cry.
I mourn the loss of our relations,
I know that is most certainly not on vacation.
So when you’re ready to say,
What has you at such dismay?
I’ll be here, watched by your hateful eyes,
Squirming because of your despise.

In Memory Of You
Erin-Taylor Jan 2013
After this terrible heartbreak,
We know your right there by heavens gate,

Watching over us, protecting us as we live on,
But we cant get over the fact that your actually gone.

We miss you dearly, and no one could ever replace you,
You were our superman, flying through the sky oh so blue.

We are living a type of hell, wishing you were here,
But we know we'll see you later, and raise up our glasses of beer.

We take a shot of Jameson, a toast to you old man,
Whether playing the role as daddy or brother, no one can do it better than you can.
This poem is in loving memory of my Uncle and God Father, Kevin Botta, who died unexpectantly on January 6th, 2011, as a passanger in a car crash.

The End
Erin-Taylor Dec 2012
The smell of burning flesh fills the air,
All I hear are police sirens everywhere.

The world is in turmoil as we all know,
No one has anyone to turn to, no where to go.

So I just sit here on my front porch step,
Wondering what happened overnight as the world slept.

Wires are down, trees are on fire,
Everything is chaos, all is haywire.

People are running around acting so crazy,
The smog that covers the earth is now very hazy.

Life as we know it has come to an end,
It is certainly going to be hard to mend.

All luck is deceased, no four leaf clovers,
All that is and was is completely over.

Pain
Erin-Taylor Dec 2012
There is no way to describe it,
the pain someone else feels.
But you know that it's lurking close by.
You know that this pain is real.

Live on
Erin-Taylor Dec 2012
I'm going to stay strong even though I feel as if I can't go on.
I'm going to smile like I'm not dying on the inside.
I'm going to pretend like everything is perfect when everything is falling apart at the seams.
I'm going to act fearless when actually I'm terrified.
For life must carry on, with or without me.
I can stick through it....

Think

If seeing is believing,
Then what is dreaming?

All Along
Erin-Taylor Dec 2012
The soreness of my heart engulfs my being,
Now that your gone, I'm finally seeing.

Who you are and what you did.
How you cowered behind and hid.

The lights are out and it's finally clear.
After all this time, after a year.

It still hurts so badly to know,
That everything we did, and all that was done was just a show.

Never again shall you do me wrong.
I wish I had known this all along.

Fire
Erin-Taylor Dec 2012
The water is liquid fire…scorching my flesh like acid…with delight.
Numb, the pain doesn't reach me.
My skin, tingling and red show signs of burns.
Burns which will turn into scars.
So when you see me again, you'll know you're the cause of them.
Scarring my body and heart for all of eternity.
Everyone will see what you've done to me.
I played with fire and got **burnt…

Her heart, knows no love.
Erin-Taylor Dec 2012
Beauty dies, angels blow away.
I scream with my memory forever of you.
Makeup covers your lips and cheek.
I scream, you really pick a fight.
Not there, one night,
No one saved the love.
Always in my heart,
I only dream I’ll fall in love with someone else now.
Running more,
Hoping to never remember you.

Invisible...
Erin-Taylor Dec 2012
Hoping is a lost cause,
Everyone can see her flaws.
No one will look at her with a new light,
She’s out of mind, out of sight.
No one likes her,
Passing by people like a blur.
No one can see the pain she feels,
No listens and no one hears
Her cries and shouts,
She’s dying to get out!
To be noticed, to be loved,
Stop being shoved.
Please let someone care,
She’s tired of someone not being there.

Like a Rose
Erin-Taylor Nov 2012
Beautiful and delicate, giving off a sweet aroma, intoxicating the naive. Like a rose, you are dangerous. Preying on the innocent with false smiles and deceiving looks. Not everything meets the eye. You engulf the ignorant in a dark abyss of unlawful hopes and desires. You trick them, like the monster you are. Like a rose, you don't know how you lie. When looking at a rose, you stare at the beauty, not the danger. Thorns sneak up and ***** your finger, drawing out your precious red, plentiful fountain of life. However, without it's petals, it would be nothing but a thorned stem. Like you, your nothing without your lies. The rose loses it's beauty and alluring scent, and you lose your looks and charm. Underneath, you are just a hungry thorn on a stem, waiting toget a trickle of blood upon your tip.

— The End —
