Here’s to my parents
Who taught me all they knew
Here’s to my friends
Who made me smile when I was blue
Here’s to my family
Who are always by my side
Here’s to all those people
That forgave me when I lied
Here’s to all the music
That I love so very much
Here’s to my teachers
That taught me rules and such
Here’s to the air
That I live and breath today
Here’s to my distant friends
So close, yet so very far away

So many loved ones
So many loved things
So much to live for
So much ahead of me
So many colours
So many pictures
So many memories
So much love…
So much hate…

Though I sometimes feel so alone
In the dark
In old memories
You have reminded me how untrue that is
And how many people are there for me
How many people love me
And I love you for it

You have made me smile
Made me laugh when I was down
You have made me happy
When all I could do is frown
You have made me rhyme
Even with no reason
You are my best friend
And I love you more than anyone

You are the crazy one
The awesome
And amazing one
You are the pretty one
No matter what you say
You are the one
Who has made me stay

You are the one who changed my life
Showed me so many new things
Even though our time has ended
Others are still beginning
Have a nice life
And I mean that
Always remember I love you
And if you change your mind
I’m here
Waiting
Forever

You are the one I can always go to
You’ll talk to me all night
You make me laugh
You make me cry
But whichever…
So long as we’re together

You are the one who isn’t real
Never has been, never will
You’re the one who’s seen it all
Done it all
You changed my life
Thank you

You are the one who’s on and off
Sometimes we’re friends,
Sometimes we’re not
Yet, whenever I come back around
You’re always there
Without a doubt

You’re the one who’s never forgotten
Though you may think you have been
You are the one who was friendly to all
And we all miss you very much

You are the bright one
Always making people happy
No matter what you’re always there
Smiling until the end

You are the regret
That I feel every day
Causing long nights of tears
All for you
I really do miss you
More than you can imagine
But our friendship is the past
And we can only look forward to the future
I hope yours is a good one

You are the insanity
That I call amazing
The one I can completely trust
And count on you
To stand by me

You are the fire
Burning like the sun
Bright as a star
Never dying
And never failing
To shine

Everyone has their reasons
Everyone makes mistakes
I’d just like to say…
I forgive every one
And I’m sorry
I hope you can forgive me too
I love you
Here’s to all my friends. Every one of them.

The special ones I mentioned in this poem: Amanda, Anna, Andie, Jenny, Chandani, Sophie, Julia, Cameron, Molly, Drew, Emily, Bethany, Emma, and, of course, Harry Potter and the Doctor (:
Disappointment flaring in their eyes
The days behind, but not my lies
I wish I knew exactly what I had done
Or the knowledge of being not the only one
Time has ended
Relationships bended
I’m running around in circles once more
Wishing that someone would just close the door
On their expectations on my life
The burning words hit like a knife
I with that I could do things better
Maybe I’d find a true forever
But see, the world is not as it seems
Not that I’m able to tell what it means
I suppose I should just keep moving on
Yet my heart is broken, and the smile is gone
So yet I keep running, tearing through time
I only wish again the world would be mine

I Miss You
You used to smile and tell me,
You’d never leave,
And that forever we’d be
In love.
I don’t think you lied.
Just merely forgot.
But now I have died.
I need you.
Maybe the way I’ve died
Is really only inside
And I’ve truly just chosen to hide
From the reality.
But truth is,
I miss the way you used to laugh.
And smile
I haven’t seen that in a while
I even miss the way you used to cry.
Every time you’d say goodbye.
I miss the colour of your eyes.
Solid blue.
That energy that never dies
I miss your lasting, inspiring pride.
The way I knew,
That you’d always be mine.
I miss every little word you said.
It’s over, isn’t it…
Forever is dead.
I will never bring myself to rue
The fact that I’d fallen for you.
If this is what you want,
Then I won’t try to change.
Memories left to haunt.
All those memories we had,
Who’d have thought
That they’d all go bad?

Angst
Lies
Colours
No
Stop
If only
I'm sorry
I used to think
Leave me be
Go away
Help
Living Hell
Love
Time
Hate
Moving on...
^But not really
Remember
Forget
Remember again
Push it away
Thoughts
Starry Eyed
I love you
I hate you
What kills you in the end
Death
No, time
Forever
Memories are ghosts
Ghosts are memories
Memories are treasures
Hidden
I don't need you
Not anymore
Walking
Running
Words
Words
Words
Words
The words go on
Don't stop
Don't leave
Don't go
Whatever
The fire in her eyes
We'll watch the buildings turn to dust
Stay here forever
I'll never leave you
Goodbye
Why?
Why?
Why?
You said "friends forever"
I lied
We were told to make a list of words or phrases that we'd possibly use. This is what I came up with. I think it has a bit of poetic-ness. (:

What Lies Within
When you want in,
I want out.
When I need you,
You never come around.
A smile and a laugh,
A glare and a tear,
What do you mean?
Which one is real?
When I say,
“I love you,”
You don’t respond.
But when we get into fights,
You always see the bond.
When I really miss you,
You act like you don’t need me.
You act like you don’t want me.
And then I come to really see…
That look beyond your face,
Is truly ugly down within.
The blood beneath your muscles
Is boiling and grim.
The touch beyond your fingertips,
Is rough and cold as ice,
The smile on the inside,
Really isn’t very nice.
The laughter down within
Is fake and meant to hurt
I can’t believe I never noticed
The way you treat everyone like dirt.
Well no longer will that be me,
Following you around.
I hope that you are happy,
Knowing how badly you let me down.
The way to truly love,
Apparently isn’t what we see,
But really what lies within,
Is what a person can really be.

A Broken Friendship
This is what we’ve come to
After all these years
For so long we were friends
All I have left of it is tears

There are things we want to change
You know as well as I,
We all make mistakes
But why can’t you pass mine by?

You’d think, after all this time,
All those days spent together,
That life wouldn’t be so cruel.
And maybe friends could last forever.

Of course it doesn’t work that way,
No matter how much I wish it did.
So I’ll say one more apology…
Then farewell, I will bid.

It hurts, the tears and the loss.
I promise you it always will.
But I really do need to move on.
Though it’s like climbing the steepest hill.

I wish you would come back,
Though I don’t think it’s going to happen
I regret what’s happened to us,
How the happy memories now sadden.

Marred
Picture this is based off of: http://www.inkdryerdesign.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/7b00b34e9dee0411.jpg*

I’m lost in this world.
I have no place to go.
Not a person to love.
Not a place to call home.

I remember this beach. When I was young, I would run around and play here. Not a care in this world. Why should I care? The world belonged to me then.

A mask to cover up.
The flaws deep inside.
But it’s been made clear,
There’s no way to hide.

The warm smoke rises up into the cold air. I fight the urge to choke, and close my eyes. I can remember a little girl with blonde pigtails. Holding hands with a man and woman. Skipping down the beach, leaving footprints in the sand.

Now the footprints are gone,
Just memories remain.
They can be made again,
But they’ll never be the same.

They left me too soon, that man and that woman. They left me, they left me, they left me. Alone in this world. Forever alone, walking these beaches by myself. All by myself. And they’re never coming back.

The world is too big,
And I am too small.
I can stand at my highest,
But I’m still not that tall.*

The beach is abandoned, except for one person. I’m here, finding my place. On this old, abandoned beach. Trying to find out who I am, and where I belong. And until I find out, this mask will always cover my face.
This is half a poem, half a story. Hmm.... I'll count it as a poem. Just enough.

Mine
i told you we’d be forever
me and you
always together
‘cause our love is true
i’m not having second thoughts
don’t get me wrong
i just need to think
but my thoughts are all gone
you make me smile
when no one else can
but you’re so far away
i just want to hold your hand
i need some time
to sit in my bed
to let the tears fall
and the thoughts set
i can think of you
think of your touch
but thoughts are just thoughts
and that is not much
i love you with all my heart
you’re just so far
though we’ll still last forever
wherever you are
JUST SO YOU KNOW. I KNOW HOW TO CAPITALISE. I DIDN'T BECAUSE IT JUST.... I THOUGHT IT GAVE IT A SPECIAL ACCENT. I'M SORRY IF IT BOTHERS YOU.

A Scream
A scream
Lost in the air
Drowned in the music
Covered by words
A scream
Killed by innocence
The music keeps playing
A story dies
A scream
Scared and high
Still goes unheard
Carried nowhere
A scream
Cut off by the air
The ice-cold weather
A tear in the moonlight
A scream

Angels and Devils and Skies
With a kiss
I will bid you goodbye
I’m off to a place where I can fly
Fly
Forever and ever
Life is too short
But death lasts forever
And the life in my eyes
Is fading and dying
But this will be forever
I won’t ask you to join me
But I’ll ask you to keep me
In memory
In love
Remember forever.
Forever is mine.
So say goodbye.
It will be our last.
I’m off to fly.
With the angels and devils and skies.
With the fire and the ice.
With the mean and the nice.
With the rhymes.
The childhood rhymes.
The memories.
The ones that died.
I’m joining them today
I really am
I’m leaving and moving on
Forever
And ever
And ever
Forever

Colour Blind
You’re blind
Colour blind
Everything going on around
It happens in colour
In vivid bright colours
That turn and swarm
But you can’t see them
They’re not there for you
You don’t see the blue of my hurt
Or the red of my anger
Or the black or my heart
Or the green of my jealousy
When I saw you with her
When I felt you with me
You’re living two lives
How many colours have you missed?
They’re all there
Waiting to be discovered
By a new set of eyes
Old eyes,
Yet still new
Eyes that haven’t yet seen
The real world
The right world
Eyes that haven’t seen
They haven’t seen me yet

Through Your Eyes
Through your eyes
The world isn’t blue
Through your eyes
This is all new

Through your eyes
The world still has air
Through your eyes
I’ll always be there

Through your eyes
Nothing has to hurt
Through your eyes
There’s everything to learn

Through your eyes
Everything is alright
Through my eyes
We won’t last a night

When things like this are happening
And the air is ever so saddening
The tears and anger gathering
We try and remember who we are

For every time that we sit and cry
Each time we wish we’d said goodbye
And wonder why they had to die
So many things are happening

We’re so small in this giant world
But every tiny little boy and girl
Has stories that are about to unfurl
And some end before their time

So all we can do is love and miss
Remember happiness, times of bliss
Think back on that one last kiss
And they’ll never truly die

Twisted
The things I could have saved
The days I could have filled
The people I could have known
The waves that wash away
Ghosts that follow everywhere
Clocks that never stop ticking
Time frozen and continued forever
Lies never truly forgiven
Fires that won’t burn out
Glass that refuses to shatter
Past lives that don’t even matter
Past that isn’t left behind
But following me through my life
Forever
I can’t let go
I can’t move forward
The point where I’m stuck
I can never go back
But there is no way forward
What can I do?
It’s over
And I know it
So why am I still here?
Playing this game?
The twisted game
Of life

A Wish To Have Saved
I wish that I could erase
Those awful moments from my life
Those moments I look back at
And they make me want to cry
I wish I could go back and change
The terrible things I said
I wish I could just go back
And just shut my mouth instead
I wish I could get rid of
All those little flaws
Those little flaws that all add up
All those little wrongs
I wish I could have stopped you
From doing what you’ve done
But now that it’s to late
It’s all over
And nobody won

— The End —
