Touch my mind with tedious talk
Wandering hands crash landing on my *******
So often I wish I could tell you to walk
But I'm tied
Its all for the best
That over to your best friends I will stalk
And fold myself up in his sheets
He loves me more than than the rest
Loves me more than you
His hands are droplets of water not as cold as your waterfall
He knows how to breathe
You can save your breath
Because I'm my own now
I'm going to go out and never rest
The cigarettes don't sleep
And neither will I
I hate you for reading my mind
But I hate it even more when you don't
How much can one soul take?
When it is scorched by seething snarls and twisted words
With bitter kisses of one night stands
The closest things it has to love
Its mothers touch has long since curdled
And tears sting with crushed anger
How much can one soul take?
In a world so unruly and unjust
An abusive relationship between body and mind
A soul does not prevent the flesh from bleeding
Only the heart from beating
As sweet mercy of death finally draws this dance to an end
A soul is freed from its cage of flesh and material world
And set alight by a ray of everlasting hope
Until it lands in another
And continues its journey

*How much can your soul take?
I'm at a point in my life where I am to wake up
This has happened once before
This metamorphosis from depression to desperation
to acceptance and knowing
It hurts
It seems soul destroying
But in all actuality it is soul enlightenment
For once in my life I am speaking out
Not just in the form of a violent excuse of a poem
But to the faces of those who make me pout
For once in my life I'm saying what I mean
It takes courage to be honest to even myself
Courage I never ******* had it seems
Chaotically formed and tumbling from my spout
If speaking my mind makes me a *****
Then let me be the biggest ***** and hear me shout
Because you've had me on and stuck like an itch
I've had about enough so hear me out
Such friends you all are excluding me
From your games and fun and goss and parties
While I sit and watch and try to believe
That every nasty thing you say is not about me
I get it, you're right, I talk about things
That you can't relate to
As love to you is all about rings
I've gone through more than any of you
Would care to hear about from my ramblings
I've outgrown you all before you gave me a chance to prove
My worth is not worn out by nasty old things
Like you and her and the rest of your gang
So let your jaws drop at my sudden burst of honesty
Because you're heads are in your own *****
And you don't deserve to be eaten by me
You girls can get married and live your lives oblivious to the world around you. I've had too many "friends" like you, it's time you all ****** my **** and took a long walk off a tall building.
Sweet little cuts across her bust babe
No one does it quite like you
Delicate blood drops down your back seat
No one does it better that's true
Give it to her softly tell me that you love me
I love to watch you when you do
Pass me that knife babe I'll do it the right way
Killing is fun for two
She knew in her heart where she belonged
And it wasn't with a wolf,
or a ghost from her past
She belonged to the one who would never do her harm.
The wolf may be enticing and warm and inspiring
And the ghost may be exciting, unruly and inviting
But her heart beats softer to the hum of his love
Than for anyone else,
in hell or above.

That confident and bubbly person I was yesterday?
She's gone now
She was too fake to live long in this world
But I'm here. You can call me bipolar
So they cut
These words
Like the blade that sung your melody
As you cast it from your razor
Or your plethora of phrases
Come backs
Snarky remarks
And stainless steel
Like frost bitten angels we wail
And spit words like knives
If insults could sever arteries
We'd be less
Left
For dead
So we cut
With shaking hands and quivering jawlines
We cut with our moms good sewing scissors
And bitter cusses
And self defecating tunes
To save our souls from being cut by someone else
We are our own
Worst enemy
Sweet scent dripping as hot beads of sweat from her skin
She straddles and grinds as she begins to commit her sin
Succulent lips pressed against mine
Rubbing my fingers down the points of her spine
She giggles with glee, followed by her succubus stare
As she leans back over and nibbles the lobe of my ear
Such ******* traits, in my heart come to confide
As I flip her over and make my way from her neck to her thigh
Her hands clawing my shoulders as I kiss my way down
Her body begins quaking as she tries not make a sound
Gasping for air from such an ****** display
I kiss my way up then she pushes me away
She pounces suddenly, unable to resist
As she gives in to her desires, sensations of tryst
Credit to Hala'mir for sprucing up an old poem of mine
Two nights ago I wanted to live forever

Yesterday I wanted to **** myself

Today I want to get a tattoo

Tomorrow I wont know what I want

The day after I might not exist.
I talk too much I cry too easily I can't see a way out and I only end the day exhausted and starving every time
Funny how we've made the choice
To die even before we are born

Funny how many attempts we can make
Before we finally fall

Funny how long it takes for the blood to run out
And leave us for once and for all

Funny how much your body can handle
When you don't want to deal no more

Funny how gas can make you laugh and cry
When you're locked in the car and don't even care why

Funny how many pills your system can take
When death is the option you've already made

Funny how long we can hang in the balance
Between the length of a noose and the floor

Funny how hard our dreams can hit us
And with the car we could never afford

Funny how heavy water can feel
When its welling up in your lungs

Funny how the ones who aren't afraid to do it
Are the ones you'd never guessed would jump

Funny how people start paying attention
When you're holding the gun to your head

Funny how our own thoughts eat us alive
Aren't we all just better off  **dead?
Maybe we can go on together with suspicious minds
But only because feigning trust is considered fine
So we say ok and tell each other to have fun
When we assume the worst and then say none
We boil up and grow apart
With each slightly resentful remark
My period pains make you say
I'm ******* around every other day
You don't talk to me anymore
So I assume your new friend is your *****
We change plans on hanging out together
Instead of rekindling this love we've shared forever
So as much as we think **** is going on behind
I know our accusations aren't necessary
We can't go on with suspicious minds.
I don't owe you anything for what I've
"put you through"
So what if I like my head shaved?
So what if I like having metal adorning my face?
So what if I like to wear what I want?
So why not express my inner creativity on the outer surface?
Am I not to be happy in my own skin?
I nurture who I am
I love the way I look
And I am not sorry that being true to myself offends you
Mom
Just be happy I still want to be in your life
Be happy with me
And take me as I am or not at all.
To all those narrow-minded people,
******* all in the ******
Let's finally see what helps
One pill, Two pill, Three pill, Four
Many colours for every mood
An injection here or there
A puff of smoke for you too
Lets grab that razor blade
See to that pain
No? Still not working?
Lets cut into your head shall we
Take out your brain and shred it into a million red pieces
And stare at yourself in the mirror for hours
Until a smile appears
A taunted simper
A thoughtless tear
No? Still not working?
Lets grab ourselves some Janola
A bit o' bleach and methylated spirits,
Ought a do the trick!
Gulp it back and listen to it gurgle
With a tentative ear of suicidal tendency
No? Still not working?
Pop every pill, swig every spirit,
Cut every main artery and mutilate your lungs
See to that pain
Now tell me,
Is it working?
Go on
Tear me down
Watch me fall apart
Watch me crumble away
Beneath your horrible words
And turn me into the dirt you are
Because someday someone isn't going to
And you'll be left with a mouth full of **** and
A shovel digging your final resting place so you may rot
All this time I thought I had become shallow
That I lacked substance
Worth
A life worth living
But now I realize how shallow you are
Shallower than the pool of tears
I cry for you
Get out of your ******* bubble
Put down your phone
And start talking to me
I'm going through depression and all you can do is demean it
Why don't you just look up
And catch my tears
And show you understand
We are an amazing couple but I can't fight the screen for your eyes
Or be stuck inside your room
Any longer
I've lost myself trying to fit your routine
When you can't show a little compassion or eye contact
You are my world now
I'd love it if I could get to know it better
And that maybe you'd show an interest in what you don't know
About me
Shallow lover
Look beyond my smile and my quiet voice
There's a lot lurking deep below
It's an everlasting well
I have the richest waters
If only you would close Facebook
And dive in
I'm not here to impress you,
I'm not here to censor my beliefs
and ****,
I'm not here to write about you
or myself,
I'm not here to always say
what I want you to know,
I'm not here to tell lies,
I'm not here to tell the truth either,
I'm not here to read
your *******,
I'm not here to write
******* for you,
But I am here to tell it like it is,
And can you blame me?
Don't cry tender soul it's not your time
Ask me anything and you shall see
Nothing is as hard as it used to be
I've brought you strawberry milk, let me nom your feet
Everything is perfect, your kisses all over me
L**ove me like I do you, you are the start of everything
The more I think about it the more I realize
I never wanted to say you didn't do anything for me because you did
But you never treated me like you treat her
I'm glad, a little jealous but I hope you continue to treat her well
Because I'm doing what I want
I have control over everything
I don't cut anymore
I don't panic about small things
I don't feel not good enough
Sure I can't trust people like I used to but that taught me a lot
Because people are deceiving especially those you turn a blind eye to
I feel desired, I feel happy
I don't feel alone even though I am most of the time
You helped, you made me independent and love all the parts of me
I was too afraid to look at
I found what I do like and what I don't
I have to thank everyone I've ever given my heart to for tweaking it
Because I learnt how to love and how to love me
Fall down sister in your lacy underpants
Eyes red with THC and regrets
Let your faith slip between broken fingers
With every punch you throw at him
You walk around talking like you're tough ****
While your addiction gives you an instant hit
Where is your boyfriend? Will we ever know?
Why you cut him deep with every paper you roll
Get up sister brush yourself off
He doesn't deserve this you selfish twot
Put down the blunt and clear the air
Before your mom finds out
And we all disappear
"He loves me"
                     She tells herself
                                                 She smiles

"He loves drugs"
                     She tells herself
                                            A part of her dies

"He loves me, he said so"
                      She tells herself
                                            She smiles a little less

"He loves drugs,
he said that too"
                      She tells herself
                                            She stops smiling

"But he loves me"
                       She tells herself
                                                  ......
                                                   Unconvinced
An ecstasy of fumbling
For a cause greater than lust
A purer cell of passion
To release a paralyzing ******
Straddling a sense of hope
To make it through the night
And survive the day after
with stories of a lover
Who fondled my ******* like they were
the last drop of water
And my body was the Sahara
he straddled to get to them
Striking fast and stinging
Until bodies entwine in pure rapture
Of warmth and love
Connected for a moment
Of a lifetime
Well lived
It's almost like a symphony and I am the conductor with a blade
They were a little deeper this time
I know its dumb to speak too soon
I know its rude to stare
But when you walk into the room
I can't help but not care
I know you're with another girl
I know its plain to see
But to me boy, you are my world
And you belong with me
My lover has disappeared from hellopoetry
Another poet has died and it's such a shame to see
That this love of mine has no more for me to read
As he comes home from work to curl up next to me
His heart is filled by the warmth of mine
Though he no longer writes he'll be certain to shine
As my beautiful man with words that don't rhyme
But are just as sweet as the reddest glass of wine
He may no longer write but I will write every line
For him and his love until the end of time
For imrighthere, My-mind-for-a-crook, Death throws
and any other name you went by on here,
I love you and hope to live a fulfilling life with you, Layten Griffiths x
With love from Kaity x
Everyday is a long walk through quick sand
The slower the day goes
The deeper
I sink
I have to keep moving or else I end up drowning
And I suffer a fate worse than death
It's knowing I can't fight it
Because the more I do
The lower I go
The deeper
I sink
I am the eclectic witch
There are no gods to tell me how to live
But the wind howls my fate
Where the rain falls I will dance
Because I prefer sandalwood to perfume
I am the eclectic witch I have no coven
Only the flora and fauna
And the tip of a blade
Where grass grows I will prance
Because I prefer metaphysics to religion
You'll know me by the trail behind
Of the hearts I never meant to break
The poor souls I tried to nurture
Fell heavy in my wake
I thought I could keep them warm
While tearing pieces of myself apart
Yet again I was wrong and torn
For putting those pieces into other's hearts
I am so truly sorry for those who ever loved me
It's my fault, but I'm no ****
I was too kind, too beautiful, too much
For making myself everyone's crutch
The ones who want to sing don't know how
The ones who need money most can't right now
Because the kids aren't alright
And the government is tight
And nobody is saying what they think aloud
It's a full moon in the winter with that heavy golden glow around it
It's a love we all knew in the autumn when the temperature drops and the desire for warmth grows stronger
It's a blatant spot of black in the whitest snow I've never seen
It's the last light of day during daylight savings that keeps me up for the rest of the night
It's the saltiest tear running down the saddest face I can't catch
It's the nightmares that shake you from slumber or the dream you wish you could go back to
It's the last breath you take before you dive bomb into the pool in your best friend's yard
It's the bruise on your shin and the cut on your arm you got for your mistakes
It's the hickey and the claw marks you got from the best *** of your life
It's the fall, it's the rise, it's everything we do, see, touch and taste
It's life
Don't let it go to waste
I love you
As a lover
As a friend
As a poet
As a trend
For the time being
And then on
I love you
For all that you are
Was
And will be
I love you
Heart and soul
Mind and lungs
I love you
For you x
And all the beautiful tormented souls out there
The state of which a situation can go one way or another
The point at which you leave
The point of which I crash and fall
It's heart wrenching for me to sit by and be unable to help
While you do exactly the same
I may as well be picking the flesh from my chest
One tear at a time
While you drink yourself to sleep
Is there really nothing we can do to save one another?
Will we quit playing pretend?
Or are we forever ****** to stay here
In the in between
Not knowing
Never knowing
Always
unsure
You sit in the back of my throat like last night's supper
I swallowed your lies because you were my lover
Who I did afterwards wasn't right
It was foolish and hurt and is wrong despite
The fact that I did it to save myself
To keep on ease my mental health
When you called me crazy for assuming the truth
No matter how hard you tried it was no use
You haven't changed and it's not my fault
That the girl you lie with now will never know
You don't really love her she's a painkiller
You're not an addict you're only a quitter
I had to let it out, it won't make a difference but at least you know how I feel
When the only person you could ever talk to hates your guts
Because they know you better than anyone else
And they know how much you ****
Because you don't give yourself
The chance you think
You don't deserve
I've got an itch
A peculiar itch
An itch for ******
See he looks at me funny
With these bright blue eyes
I want to pluck them from their sockets
And keep them in a box
When I have his eyes I'll take the rest of him
And bury it in the backyard
So he may stay with me forever
And never leave
......
You have lovely eyes
"When you love someone who does not love themselves, you learn that you have to love them enough for the both of you.

And sometimes that becomes your crutch and lifeline and begins to takeover and blur the view of the relationship for both of you."
Taken from a beautiful article I read http://hellogiggles.com/someone-you-love-doesnt-love-themselves/2/
Flaming welts like craters in my skin
Memories of anguish
A moment in time when all was fine
Ceases to exist
As you excavate my form
I am a bundle of broken nerves
Ash is my life now
You can cast an eye on my beautiful face
But what lies beneath is much darker
Dare to conjure a pick up line?
I'll have you under one hell of a spell
I don't feel anything for you
How does that make you feel?
Crimson tears seep from the hurt
It's all a dream
At least that's what I tell myself
To justify all that remains
Be gone with you cruel creature
Fester somewhere else
My head is full
Make money
Take money
Spend money
Invest money
Lose money
Find money
Save money
Crave money
Marry money
Earn money
Work for money
Live for money
Breathe for money
Not run out of money
We live for money
We die without it
Love doesn't feed us
**** doesn't cure us
Cigarettes don't **** us quick enough
Money money money
Don't you ever run out
...
Pretty little iris
****** white sclera
Despite those tempting lashes
Her lies are getting clearer

Come a little closer
Squeeze a little tighter
She's squinting a little thinner
But her pupils are getting wider

She wants your focus now
Don't trust those golden eyes
It only takes a little peek
To fall for those gorgeous lies
Hello darkness my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
I watch you come and go like rain
From feeling empty to knowing pain
Take my hand I'm glad you came
For it takes patience
to love my name
Reference: The Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkle
Paper dolls gathered all around
With sticks and stones
And bones in the ground
All wait in line for venom
To course through the pins of violent delights
Ice and fire
Fire and ice
Voodoo in its politest form
Whimsy, witchcraft and throwing rice
Burn the ghosts of a ferocious past
And a love left forlorn
For the man who rolls over in the night
To squeeze a pillow as his surrogate wife
For the girl who refuses to drown
By avoiding the pool when summer comes around
For the dog who dug up a bone
And buried it again for it wasn't his own
For the woman with a mouth full of bad teeth
It was all worth it for those childhood sweets
For the boy in class who got carried away
It wasn't his fault, he hasn't learnt what to say
We are all sharing the same world
The boy, the dog, the man and the girl
So why must we wage in wars
When everyday we fight to beat our best scores
What's the point in judgement and passing rumours around
If we all end up the same
Cold and dead in the ground.
It's people like you that make me feel sick
You feed people lies just to get your **** licked
You confuse me you use me you leave me for dead
I can't stand it this hate that I feel for the man in my bed.
Where to go when home is empty and your lover's arms are crossed?
The edge of a bridge of course
A spider
She is huge and leggy
I jump
But I stay seated, feet dangling
She is spinning her web I mustn't disturb her for this is her place
This is her hour
This is not mine

I decide to live
I wrote a heartfelt poem for you but it wouldn't post
I picked a pretty flower for you but it died
I bought some delicious chocolate for you but I ate it
Basically I just can't do anything for you that you deserve
And that *****
Bitter shouting remedies
Wailing in the streets
Beggars wanting more than just
The crumbs off royal seats
Fancy ******* lunatics
Brainwashing people like twits
So ******* what
If I'm female
And want to ***** her ****?
We all have a story
Your friend who died last night
Has published his
The least you can do is read
And acknowledge it
The authors achievements
The boy who got dumped
Feels a pain
Just as great
As you did when your father
Beat you half to death
We all have different thresholds
So never tell someone
They don't understand
Because in some way they do
The scars are all the same
On the inside
