Some leave finger prints
You leave dusted angels
Some leave footprints
You leave your name carved on everyone's lips
Some keep souvenirs
You keep words
Some keep memories
You keep hearts
Some build houses
You dreams
And while some paint pictures
You paint worlds
Solar systems
Entire galaxy's
You save people's hearts when they succumb to nightmares
But you always have to go out
Just to test the night air
Everytime you do it gets a little more bitter
Your sweet aroma is too much
Too good to be true
At least that would explain why people always seem to hate you
Another explanation I've come to find
Too often you hide your own heart from our eyes
No one seems to know what happens in your mind
As far as I'm concerned
It just proves you're one of a kind
Keep leaving angels
Keep leaving your name
Hearts and memories
Worlds and dreams
Keep leaving the thought of you
In minds of unrest
Peace will follow surely
The one everyone can trust

On the secret side
The other side
Where I reside
My secret place
The only space
That I have to myself
I live like there's no tomorrow
I live like life is just a dream
I dream like life's worth living

Hate is what you show in your voice
It is saddness you show in your eyes
All through your life this mask has been your disguise
Don't you think it's time to face your fears?
Don't you think it's time to be brave?
Instead of soaking in your self pity, tears and words of hate

Simple poems I do create
Not for glory
Not for pain
For emotions
For expression
The most simple way
To say what I say
Is to say it
Straight on
Eloborate plays
No
Not today
Maybe another
For now I'll stay
I'll stay the same
And I will write
Simple little poems
That are long
Though somehow short

A life for a life
Equals a loss on either side
Every excuse you make for war is hatred and pride
Its unneeded
Warnings go unheeded
When arguments get heated, its always time for another fight
One by one we all fall down
Dominos of grief for those that reside underground

Though I may not know you
I want you to know
You're beautiful
Inside and out
You're amazing
You're loved
Don't worry
Everything will be alright
You're sick of that line
But it's no lie
Heart ache will heal
Bones will mend
Night will turn to day
Memories will fade
You will be loved after your end
Even if you think you don't have a friend

Careless and sloppy
Bland and choppy
That
Is what
This
Has
Become

Do you understand
Your rights and your wrongs
The mistakes that fuel these specters' haunting songs
The rights and good will
That almost drive them away
No
You can't
You don't
You won't
You want them to stay

Fish swim
Where ravens swarm
Where the sun is watery and warm

I'm leaving behind the fun and joy
The sunlit trees and rushing river
I'm leaving behind the stars in the sky
The waving shadows and purple sky
I leave behind
All to me that is dear
So when I leave
I won't fear
Losing it

My responsibilities
Are mine
Yes
What a miracle it is
That me,
A girl
Can take care of things myself

Over the air
Under the sea
There is something there
Something exists
Under the hills
Over the mountains
Something grows
Something strong
Through tunnels
Across the land
Something rolls
Something bright
Under the ground
Over the stars
Something stands
Something invincible

They say I'm just a child
That my words will run out
That I'll lose all sense
Lose all meaning
They say I'm just a child
I have nothing to lose
Nothing to give
Nothing to regret
They say I'm just a child
That I'm blind to the world
Though I see more than they think
Because they think I'm blind

Can you hear
Can you see
All of the ghosts
The ghosts that haunt your dreams

No words
Can describe
What people
Feel inside
Lost to thought
Lost to time
No word seems right

Well now
What do we have here
What have we done
When it's cold we love the sun
When winter's over we'll go wishing for another one

Ideas flow
Rushing like a river
Rushing around our heads
We write to let that river escape
Always another
Shall take its place

I hate nonsense verses
But if there were none my words would be worthless
No fun meanings bringing people to the show
No empty spaces where your minds can grow
Nothing to hear
Nothing to see
Nothing beautiful
Nothing free

If ever you wonder who you are
Remember love, you come from the stars
From the dreams of who I wished to be
From the love of all those who fall at your feet
From your wildest dreams
From your darkest defeats

You come from the flowers in bloom
The rocks weathered through
The grass and dirt that pads your hurt and gives you courage enough to power through
You come from the heat of passion
From the fizzle of love
The spark of joy always ignited when you blow through
A tornado of happiness
Of warmth and love
A cocoon of safety where I hope I can show you all of my love
Because you come from above

Down
Down
Down
The wild winding river
Cool breezes as light as a feather
Cold waters as rough as the sea
Down
Down
Down
The wild winding river

Drip
Drip
Drop
Onto the floor
Have you seen this before?
The cuts and burns?
Scars and bruises?
Have you noticed?
Have you seen?
Did you think you could end my suffering?
No my torture
It never ends
This pain
Is my prison

Lately you've been falling down Darkness surrounding you
I want to show you the way
You say you don't want to see
I wish to give you light
You say you like the dark
I wish to know your trouble
You say there is none
I've excepted your words
I've excepted your choice
This isn't over
This isn't done

Luring you
Pulling you
Until the rope snaps
You break in half
Wish to put the pieces back
You don't know which is real
Try finding them with your emotions
Realize you can't feel

To those who looked but never listened
Never had the heart to bear witness
To admit you've felt something more than just a numbing ache
One who chooses not to recognize nor identify, with anothers' pain
Stuck in your own head
Lying waste to your brain
Can you imagine living like you use to once again?
The breeze, no longer choking and hot but somehow chilling to the bone
The colors no longer monochrome
The robotic tasks that you repeat are for some a momentous feat
For each breath of air comes so worldly care
Each care turns into a tearing pain as slowly you learn to love again
The landscape no amount of gray can cover
The eyes of a once blind lover

Bye and bye
You waste your time
Time to time
You wonder if you're right
Minute by minute
Hour by hour
People want absolute power
It will not happen
We will not change
Questions we have will have to remain
Unanswered
Whilst we rot in our undug graves

Like dust we settle
Like leaves we fall
Scatter through empty rooms
Through the vacant halls

Another hello
Another goodbye
What's it matter to you
You have time

A ******* in another parking lot
Begging for money avoiding shots
Choking and dying for a better life
That's what you thought I'd be right?

You told me so I couldn't breathe and you just didn't believe until I hit the ground, out, stone cold

Jokes on you
Ridiculous fool
You laughed and ridiculed everything I possibly wanted to do just to keep me closer to you
I'm glad I didn't stay I'm not your servant
Not your slave
Not your puppet and I will never obey!

For God's sake you made impossible to study or have fun
I needed at least one of the two and when it was up to you I had to settle for none!
I couldn't eat
Couldn't sleep
Couldn't speak
God knows I only ate 6 times a week
95 pounds and getting slimmer
All I asked was to be able to make some dinner!

Profound that I passed once I moved my ***
No longer am I under your thumb, I'm done
I've won

I passed my class
Passed my peers
I can eat and sleep even speak ever so clear

What you wanted my future to be
What you whispered in my ear
The downfall of my wits and heart shall never come near
For I am not yourself
The harlot the sits upon the muddy stains of her life and settles for men that push her through the mud and muck to stand atop themselves

For shame uneducated fool you know nothing of me
I am nothing like you

This lake
Acting as a mirror
Reflecting all the good times
The sunshine
The peaceful times
The moon light
All the recklessness in the summer air
Placed in your memory with joy and care

You think darkness is peace
It's just the unknown
It will turn on you
Just like the world
You want the the world to remember
It want remember if you hide
You're shy?
I hate you
Just be you
I love you
Don't smile for others
Finally you see
You still hide what you feel
What you think
Say you'll destroy everything around you
So you pretend
You fake
Say everyone's ambitions are at stake
That's not true
Nothing will fall apart around you
You can show your real emotions
Doesn't matter what others think
I know you don't care
I know no matter how much you promise
You'll never tell me the truth
Because you know
I know
Nothing about you

Im going deaf
I'm going blind
I can no longer trust my mind

Restless?
Yes
Yes this is true
I could say the same about you
Trapped inside
Stuck in our heads
Ill go crazy just laying in bed
So I write
Yes I write
About happiness
About pain
About color
About wishes
About angels and witches
So I write
Yes I write
About everything I can
About everything I need
To stay sane

Two paths diverged in a yellow wood one unknown and one understood
One dark and dreamy
One alight but dreary
Walked upon by two travelers long
One impatient and oh so weary
One settled and oh so Leary

What change do we need we'll walk in between

How and why There's no outcome to be seen

To be oh to be!
Just settle once in your ways and follow me!

I cannot I am far too tired
I'm afraid I must sleep
At the cross roads of my life let me lay and weep

Get up I say it'll be ok just so long as we know the way
The lighter path may be a bit unpleasant but at least all is quite apparent

I cannot
I will not
We'll end up peasants!
Why not explore, beg for more!
A darker path for a brighter life
A future that goes further instead of scrapping the bottom line

I'm sorry to choose but I don't like to lose
Change is too scary, I'm afraid I'm leaving you

My life, my love
We've made flesh and blood
To leave for a common impression instead of working for something refreshing is the worst possible path
I'm sorry I just can't live with that

I can't follow you
I know so I must go

The two travelers paths diverged in a yellow wood
They left each other
No longer side by side
Along the paths they fretted
Waiting for a time mist dreaded
That old familiar sigh, of another traveler by their side

Doesn't matter what you say
My mind is mine
My mind is made

Baby I need you
I don't know what I'm doing
I can't even surmise what I've done
One monumental climb after another
Nothing to show

God I miss you
I need you
Your reassurance and words
Your calming presence and the knowledge I've been heard

Please come home to me
I miss you
I need you
Your smile
Your strength
Your touch
When nothing is too much
When nothing hurts
All is healed by your touch

To what do I owe this honor
Being your toy
A scheme
Thinking you could pass me around to another
With no love
No thought
I meant what I told you
With every piece of my tearing heart
I love you
Even still
You shove me to another once you've had your fill
Is this all I've been to you
Is that all you want
How could you...
Broken
Unsure
Why should I be a part of your life anymore
I'm not your *****
I'm not your fill
Seeing you toss me aside...
I can't take it
I never will

The words slipping from your lips
A whisper turning into a kiss
Pressed gently then hard
Tempting
Caressing
Then smashed!
Pushing
Plying
Hateful
Whispering I love you
Pouting when silence is returned
Pushing harder
Begging for a partner when all that can be given is a witness
How could you wish this?
Do you really think anyone would want to be apart of your lonely lust hit list?
