A Society That Is Dead
Jennifer Collins Oct 2014
Can everyone just stop
And take a look around
Look at what we've all become

Our society is disgusting
For everyone gets judged
It does not matter who you are
Someone will fuss

If you gay your bullied
If your skinny your told your fat
If your pretty you think your ugly
Would you look at that

There's so much pressure put on us
No wonder people die
Should it be from war
Or committing suicide

You're read like a book
As soon as you come in
Not even given a chance
An opportunity to fit in

Everyone grows up
Most people too fast
Stay a kid while you can
Childhood doesn't last

It makes me want to cry
To see pain in the heart
Of those who have to hide
Who they really are

It really is disgusting
So just try to use your head
And realize just what we've become
A society that is dead

How Life Works
Jennifer Collins Oct 2014
I never knew
It could happen like this
And I never understood why
Things die
But they come alive
As quickly as all time
Who knew that life could be
Such a wonderful thing
I don't think that anyone ever dies
Now just when I am finding
How life can be
I realize that
Things are never what they seem
Even in times of crisis
Everything turns out fine
And even though it may be sorrowful
To know that life goes by
And to know that time flies
Will help you know
That even the smallest moments
Is precious
Through life
And time

Raging Rainbow
Jennifer Collins Oct 2014
The black sky of majesty
Staring down underneath itself
The world black
Never to see the light of the moon

The world overflowed with rage
A rainbow only one shade
The darkest colors of mankind
The black souls, the red bloodshed

The sky sees underneath the stars
Down below the brightness of the heavens
The silver moon
Struggling to pour down on the Earth

The gold may be glorious
But the shadow are true
They tell the honest emotions of the world
The green grass is fading
Into a bittersweet grey
The water is not blue
But clear for you
A reflection of what the world really is
The world's rainbow is fading
It is turning bleak
It is a raging rainbow

When I See You
Jennifer Collins Oct 2014
When I see you
My mouth goes dry
My palms get sweaty
And I get shy

When I see you
I have to smile
Because being with you
Is worth my while

When I see you
No words can describe
The warm feeling I get
That fills me inside

When I see you
I wonder if you know
That I feel so empty
Whenever you go

When I see you
I think what would be
If you said that
You love me

Silver Mist
Jennifer Collins Oct 2014
The night sky filled with stars
The silver mist sweeps across the meadow
The cool night air pushes at my skin
I stare into the river hidden by trees
The tears start to stream down my cheeks

As I look down, I saw a sword near my feet
I could end all this pain here and now
But as I stare into the river
Searching for my soul, and I know
That this is not the time to die

I wipe the tears from my eyes
The wind had swept the silver mist away
And the tall grass starts to sway
As I ran away from the meadows
To home, and try to forget
What I could have done
As I lay down to sleep
I have finally found peace
Suicide is not the answer. Talk to a loved one. Or even message me, I will be here.

Save Me
Jennifer Collins Oct 2014
The fires red
Rivers ran red
The rain pours
From open doors

Steam rises from the hard ground
Nothing but darkness all around
Children's screams come from a near
Mother's cry of suffering fills the air

A father's please echos everywhere
Surrounded by pain and suffering
It is smothering, suffocating
Lightning strikes, and I can see

Blood running down a child's cheek
Someone come and save the children
Someone come and save the forsaken
Someone come and save the Suffering

Someone come end this hurting
Someone come help the broken mend
Make the screaming come to and end
The storm has gone

The faces pass on
I look into nights river
And what do I discover
It was I who was screaming
Screaming save me from this dark dreaming

Web of Lies
Jennifer Collins Oct 2014
She's on fire
Flames of desire
A goddess of liars
He's Insane
Burnt to the grave

A web of lies
She'll make you cry
Burning you alive

He's her nightmare
Filled her with fears
Haunts her dreams
When she screams
She's lost in hell

A web of lies
She'll make you cry
Burning you alive

Unwanted Touch
Jennifer Collins Oct 2014
Your hand brushes upon my skin
The iciness of your touch sent shivers down my spine

Are you unaware of the sin
Slightly pushing over the line
Your hand gently caresses my side
My skin becoming inflamed

Wanting that moment to die
Are you not ashamed
Was our friendship a lie
I lay there motionless
In fear if I move my lips of what may leak

Do you not see you that you make me defenseless
Inside I am screaming
I'm hoping that you would go away
Thinking if I could just wake up from this dream
Everything would be back to its normal way

In the Meadow
Jennifer Collins Oct 2014
Lovers come and go
With nothing left to hold
The bitter sky turns gold

An eerie silence filled the night
As the moon shone its light
Only one star shining bright

Swaying in the breeze
The magical dance of weeds
And the music of rustling leaves

Lovers coming apart
A trail of bleeding hearts
Trying to make a new start

Wishing someone by my side
Knowing this would be denied
To my lonely self I chide

In the lovers meadow I weep
Wanting a love that won't keep
I must let my restless soul sleep

Waiting silently I pray and seek
The one who won't let my heart leak
Now I must rest and not grow weak
For one day my soul will peak
Sometimes we need to stop searching and just wait. Good follows bad. Take a break and stop trying to find your lover just let your lover find you.

Poetry
Jennifer Collins Oct 2014
Words written without care
Letters tossed around as if there's enough to spare
Giving birth to new meanings
Twisted around for the writers own reasoning

Put down to ease the mind
For the secret message is contains, the writer may find
Opening the gateway to worlds not seen by eyes
Where within beauty lies

Very Far From Hell
Jennifer Collins Oct 2014
Here let me hold your wrist
And let me kiss your veins
And let me rub my hand along your back
And blow away your strains
Would you like to see the stars tonight?
Instead of ceiling tile?
For rain to kiss your collar bone
Your eyelids and your smile
The universe caught in your eyelashes
Before you go back to bed
To be stolen away for just one night
I promise it's not just in your head
See? You feel my fingertips
You know I'm really there
You really feel the running now
The wind current through your hair
Don't go home to cotton sheets
Stay here forever, feeling my skin
They talk melancholy eternity
Not a world of light like the one we're in
It's real it's real it's real
If you can see and touch and smell
We're far from a heaven you could ever dream up
But we are very far from hell

Blank Love
Jennifer Collins Oct 2014
As I look upon you
You turn around and stare
I thought you'd never see me
I thought you'd never care
Your eyes are hard to see
But the blue stands out alone
I can see your thoughts within them
Upon a face of stone
I wish that I could tell you
The thoughts inside my head
The words just won't come out
With a crooked smile instead
I thought it was only me
Until you saw it too
You know the truth inside me
I can't help loving you

Demons
Jennifer Collins Oct 2014
There's a monster in my head
And a demon in my soul
They're tearing me apart
With every second they take their toll

They tear at my skin
They send tears down my cheeks


At first we were fighting
I thought they only lied
But it is okay now
We are on the same side

The demons they want me dead
But they promised not to tell
Anyway of dying
Is better than living in this hell

I thought the demons killed me
But really I killed myself
I let the demons in
That was worse than anything else

Never let your demons in
Don't let your monsters rule your head
For if you ever do
You will surely end up dead

In Time
Jennifer Collins Oct 2014
Why lie
When people die?
Why ****
When you can heal?
Why scream
When you can yell?

Coming out of hell
With burning desire
Twisted by hunger
Longing for the stranger
Bringing brought to life
By a single amber
That fell from the fire
To be buried deep inside

Lightning thrashing
Thunder crashing
The moon blood stain
The white sheep slain
Burning grain of pain
Making my feelings drain
Not a single tear to cry
With eyes that had seen children
Stripped of their innocence
The world burnt to ashes

Fear overcoming sanity
****** tears of the angels
Painting the world in red
Hearing screeches of chains
They gave into their grief
As a storm of chaos grew
I look into the ****** puddle
A stranger staring back at me
Who am I now?
In time I hope that I will be able to tell

What is Happiness
Jennifer Collins Oct 2014
What is happiness
Everybody has an opinion I guess

Is it a good day with someone you love
Is it the flight of a white dove

Is it the laugh of a child
Is it the sight of a tigress in the wild

Is it ice-cream on a hot day
Is it something a sweet lover might say

I think it is peace that you feel inside and out
I think it is love that makes you want to shout

I think it is in your arms, my safe place
I think it is that beautiful smile on your face

Last Goodbye
Jennifer Collins Oct 2014
Was it a mistake letting you leave
Should I stop, beg, and plea
My lover you once were
Each other's hearts we tore
Tears shed each night
Our love not quite right
****** tears down my face
Was the love we had a waste

Letting you go I had said
My bleeding heart is left dead
To be happy I must push you away
This my gentle heart I must sway
In time you will find another lover
A new life for you to start over
Having the life I had dreamed
Inside I shouted and screamed

Nothing in life would be the same
And I am the only one to blame
To be friends would be a lie
So this is my final goodbye

Fallen Tears
Jennifer Collins Oct 2014
She's wandering in her own misery
Trapped in a frozen wasteland
For all eternity
Her tears are falling like grains of sand
A forgotten piece of history
The past and present rest in her hand
Her soul lost to humanity

Crystallized shards falling to the ground
A shattered mind that won't be healed
A spirit left unattended
Darkness is her shield, her face has been sealed

Crushed glass, leaving kisses that won't last
A bleeding trail, crimson red
Sails at sea, on the ocean of dreams, set half mast
Following the souls of the long dead

The tears have fallen
The goddess stolen
The path has bled
For the angel in red

Spoken Words
Jennifer Collins Oct 2014
Such charm and grace
Such little words
Such elegance interlace
Illusions that never work

Love and lies
One and the same
With luring eyes
Of burning flame

The woven spells
Of star filled wells
Where the forbidden flower dwells
With the sweet music of angel bells
These fairy tales that you tell

Spun from sensual lips
Like sweet nectar to sip
Such clever and wits
To leave one on a clouded bliss

Taking one to the forgotten place
Resting in the between space
Of the night skies and darkening seas
On the whispered winds of lovers pleas

The promise of the soul kiss
The lasting passion of abyss
A glance through the looking glass
In a realm of dream that don't last

Spoken words allured me
Tales cast upon silken thread
Waiting to be set free
From the golden web

Darkness All Around
Jennifer Collins Oct 2014
Lays there a girl with icy blue eyes
She lays with a smile as she dies
Her eyes stay open
Her smile stays firm
A hole where her soul laid
The devil as her little maid
She sends him back off to find her soul
When he comes back to see the girl
He finds her asleep, a knife to the heart
He realized as that was not smart
He takes the knife and licks the blood
As he hears a big loud thud
He turns and sees the girl
Sinking into the ground
She takes him down with no sound
Just pitch black darkness all around

— The End —
