True Love
Ito Nov 2016
I'm so sad I think I'm happy now,
I run torn and broken yet fully aware,
the pain in my eyes cannot be hidden through lenses,
the sorrow in my heart too heavy to stand,
yet the regrets from yesterday still remind me of you.

The happiness ripped out of my existence to feel your pain,
only a glimpse of your brain,
throughout the blood rain,
I seen your heart dropping from the sky still beating,
longing for "True Love" and my heart made the same greeting.

Although I have all the answers,
I won't reveal one as I am one of several cancers,
a cancer of your mind and your soul,
forever engraved in your existence and taking a toll,
**I promised I was deadly when we met like a drug to a user.

Companion
Ito Aug 2016
My only companion all of these years,
even after all the beers,
through all of the fears,
unheard by any ears...
Has always been music.

Emotions cannot be seen as well as they are felt,
not even with acting can they be given nor dealt,
only you feel what runs through your mind...
after all the pain settles you're left blind.
Love, Hate & Fear are as essential as the breath you take.

And then there are those who cannot love,
not even if it's kind of.
Those who love to hate,
think they're great,
**The cycle repeats until you're back listening to music again.

So Cold
Ito Jun 2016
Family and friends are supposed to have your back.
Yet everyone seems to think you're whack.
The insanity is back...
taking control of you again like crack.
I won't let you ruin another life.  Period.

I'm dying inside and outside.
Yet next month, you're gonna be a bride?!
Really!!!  Destroy our lives twice?
Your heart is colder than ice.
The notice was shorter than your pregnancy.

I tried to be strong for you,
breaking my back while drinking the brew.
I slept away the hours and the days away,
all the while staying away from the fray.
**You are thankful for nothing and grateful for everything.

Learn to Hate You
Ito Apr 2016
How I love you!
I overlook what's true!
You still have my admiration,
you were meant to rule a nation,
I will always learn to hate you.

Little by little you rip me to pieces,
even as the hate increases,
I'm equally as messed up,
yet you and I will never hookup.
**You guaranteed your fate by your ignorance.

Numb and Dumb
Ito Apr 2016
I believed every word and emotion,
you must of used a potion,
I don't believe anyone!
But somehow you won,
I was played like an instrument, inanimate and serving you.

You just said the word and I was a slave,
I thought it was for love and I was brave,
I thought it would be something I crave,
even if at the start I saw you give me a goodbye wave.
*It's all fine now that I'm numb and dumb forever...

Sleeping Next to Marilyn
Ito Feb 2016
Last night I slept next to her,
surely it was a blur,
I didn't even care what she meant,
she kept me safe without consent...
Well that was the night I slept next to Marilyn...

She was smiling all night long,
she wasn't happy but why was she smiling all along?
Coping with that inner sadness,
just like me with all of that madness...
Happiness is subjective, you can look happy and be rotting inside.

Drowning in her tears by morning,
I knew when she was gone... I'd be mourning.
Cause when she  leaves,
she robs you like a million thieves.
**Empty & alone, I realize it's only her visage keeping me company.

Lost
Ito Feb 2016
There's a ghost inside me...
apparently I owe a fee,
I've known it since birth,
it's pointless to have a voice for all it's worth.
**Every day I die inside and outside.
I'm always lost, so I took up the name Lost Realist 3 and felt like writing a poem.

Paradise of Denial
Ito Jan 2016
I saw you **** yourself slowly,
I'm sure you felt so unholy.
What if  you knew you were going to die?
Would that change anything as you say bye?
Cause I'm sure you don't care at all...

Was I wrong?
I thought you were strong.
The suicide was faster but you still walk around hollow,
I won't follow!
Soulless, heartless and ruthless barely describe us.

Trying to save myself,
but myself keeps slipping away from ourself.
It's all a paradise to be here,
unable to see the puppeteer.
I'm blind and mute but I still feel every painful memory.
Ito Jan 2016
Today I found out something really sad,
perhaps it could be something really bad,
I've been pouring out love and hate all the time,
like a true slime.
Yet all I mean is to be understood and adored.

No!  Not like a killer,
my life is a thriller,
twists and turns every night,
a loveless life is just fine,
I might just be in a fishing line.

Life is a mystery,
I mean you could die any day and be history!
But today I feel great!
Yes I know you'll be my last date!
I only care for your heart and not mine.

Enemy
Ito Oct 2015
God I promise I tried my best,
I long to be like you but I'm stressed,
I knew since I was conscious that I was blessed,
I'm a sinner that never takes rest,
you're always there who would have guessed?

Living in a land with temptation at every turn,
I know I have a lot to learn...
but you are too stern.
I live in fear and with concern,
instead of another flood can we just burn?

I have made you an enemy,
I have been my own enemy...
Upon death can I be in your presence for one second?
I would hope you can pretend to beckon.
My heart and soul belong to you only; you're my *family.
3rd Stanza inspired by "Enemy" from Flyleaf lyrics:
"I have made you an enemy"
"I have been my own enemy"

The Darkest Heart
Ito Sep 2015
I have all of your screams and insanity engraved in my mind,
now deal with me and I knew I was blind,
you kept me in the dark,
you wanted me to never hark,
I have exposed you and you can't make me go away!

Your living nightmare,
no longer your liar,
I was slightly wiser,
you played me exactly like you wanted to...
I still cry tears in your name too.

You own me and the death of me,
for both will bring joy and set sorrow free,
I wish to die,
Why even try?
You shredded my soul and left a blackness in my heart.

Message To Trump
Ito Sep 2015
Everybody is dying,
some faster than others,
alcoholics gambling with fate,
drinking every last drop of death,
while cancerous tributes weep every hour.

It's God's way...
of saying we are not in control.
Science says we know it all but a new disease,
can cause infertility,
can cause insanity,
even suffocation.

The millions we leave are spent,
our funeral is grand,
our memories are laughs,
our families content,
it all *ends.
Yes this is an indirect message to Donald Trump & it will not reach him regardless of how many people he has working for him, he is simply a pawn in the media/system for a better candidate.

The Unemployed Youth
Ito Apr 2014
I'm part of the unemployed youth,
it's the truth,
a generation of dreamers with endless ambition,
all with one mission:
to strive for attention under constant tension.

Overprotected and neglected,
yet somehow connected,
attacked by the constant barrage of words,
we fly like birds,
we are truly free in our imagination.

No hope for a better tomorrow,
in love with sorrow,
nothing left to borrow.
Money comes at a high cost,
your youth...lost after slavery to the economy.
Stanza 1:  Mentions the workforce who are qualified for jobs but lack experience.
Stanza 2:  Alludes to the workforce who do not need a job and remain content.
Stanza 3:  Speaks of the workforce that need any job and are willing to trade their youth for money.
