I thought you would love me.
I thought we'd cherish this time in both our lives.
Instead, you let me go.
Instead, you hated me.
Instead, you ruined this what could have been a perfect moment.
You sank ME and my drowning heart to the bottom.
So Instead,...

....I thought wrong.

when will they end
they're killing our men
the wars in the east
have gone on way too long

they just keep sending our boys
treating them like plastic toys
while they sit back and profit
that's wrong

the dead and the dying
the maimed none of them lying
they're just numbers
in the countries archives

what's the hell's wrong with our leaders
it seems they've become bottom feeders
feeding their glutinous appetites
while the have-nots pay with their lives
Is it weird that I know how soft your skin is
As I dream of it brushing softly against mine?

Is it weird that I remember your scent
As I drink it in each time we meet?

Is it weird that I feel your delicate lips
As I dream of them tracing the planes of my body?

Is it weird that I love how you hug me
As I pull back each time, only to be held longer by your arms?

Is it weird that I have all these raging emotions inside me
As I think of you in the oddest of moments?

And most of all
Is it weird that I can say that
Every cell in my body loves you
But in my heart all I want
Is for you to be my best friend
Nothing more?
Time goes by so fast!!
Here and now are our moments to cherish for
Eternity! We have the chance to make a change, the

Kids won't be alright if we don't do something now.
In these precious moments of childhood, innocence, and  
Diversity, we have a chance to
Show the kids that they can make

A* difference and change the world for the better.
Right now, there are many kids who are "lost" and feeling
"Empty". They don't have anyone, but we  
Need to show them that  
They're not alone!

All these kids are our *FUTURE!

Love and caring,
Really caring, showing them that together we can be one.
In our culture, there's still so much hate
Going around that our kids will grow up
Hating people based on their skin, who they love, and so on.
Together; here and now, we can change that!!

title from the song by Fall Out Boy,
(also from The Offspring)
This poem is very much inspired by Fall Out Boy's The Kids Aren't Alright. :)
If walls could talk, these words you'll hear
'I love you so much, forever, my dear
We shall not cease, we shall not fear
We shall not give each heart a tear'

Oh, if walls could talk, we won't be hurt
If only we're not this oceans apart
An entry to a challenge to make a poem with the phrase "If Walls Could Talk".
Time and risk caught up to you;
Gagged you into silence.
Chasing down the dragon was
Your favorite form of violence.

I saw its markings on your skin;
The gauntness of your eyes
Your searching fingers scratching down
To truth, as you breathed lies

China white won this round, love
You thought you'd always dance
The dragon chose another one
And turned its gaze askance.
