To suffer death but not die
How tragic that must be
To be caught up in a web
Spun sadistically for thee

Each spindle spun
And delicately placed
You didn't even realize
When it was constricted around your face

Until you were stuck
Left there to die
But we know the black angel's lips
Never told you goodbye

You were never given the courtesy
To go off in peace
I suppose that is the punishment
When all your life you lived as a beast

Now you lay there still
Only your eyes allowed to blink
And we watch as your heart beat slows
But it will never slow enough to sink

An eternity with your blood pumping through
When you would rather be left cold
You are now forced to remember
Those deaths placed in your hands to hold

Now you wish for their deaths
That came by your hand
But you must stay in this misery
And never be six feet under the land.
the amount of times i've written i'm fine while crying,

the amount of times i smiled while i wish i was dying,

it hurts simply because,
people underestimate the kind of pain you have to be in,
to drag a blade
across your own skin,

i hide myself  under a pile of lies so no one sees,
the secrets behind
these fake smiles,

my depression is like a current pulling me under and everytine i finally have some strength to pull myself up again it pulls me down,
it is strangling my happiness out of me,
it refuses to let me breathe,
it grabs hold of my neck and is murdeing my joy,
i can't explain the pain that went across my veins,
those nights where i wish i was sober,
where poems like this made no sense,
where i smoked my pain the **** away,
those nights where a pull of the rope could of ended my night,
i don't know anymore,


all i know is that i'm getting worse and worse by the second and i don't know what to do

The moon pointed the way down that road
It lit up the desert landscape and showed all the paths
The end result i wish it showed
Save me mistakes from karmas raw wrath

This journey has been filled with the Ups & downs
But man id do it again on a second or third chance
Never been afraid of any fight for title crown
This misery of life is the true romance

Drugs, alcohol whatever it takes
It's not numbing is a way to lead a life
I'm so real this life ain't no fake
But come to close and itll cut u like a knife
My mind is slowly beginning to collapse
As I go into a state of distress
I enter my pensive zone
Which is the only way I seem to clear my mind

I hear your offensive tone of voice
So I hinder your aggressive words
That some how always gets to my brain
And torments the remaining of my fragile ego

You have jeopardized every piece of my heart
But I let you do it just because
I can't stand the perception
Of you dismissing my existence

We provoked each other into anger
And it keeps escalating to something worse
Our dissensions are unbearable
So we need to replay our
Sunrise of desired conceptions

I escape my afflicted realm
Where you once invaded my blurred memories
Wishing you were in my presence
I reminisced on some of our happy hours
Thinking it would return
Not noticing the trickles of water
Concealing my vision

There is nothing quite like it,

A kiss
when just right,
can send stars
shooting from your body.
                     Shooting Stars.
As if every wish
made from your mind,
                              heart,
                      ­        & body,
      finds its truth.

It could last forever
        (sweet taste, delicate lips)
but of course,
it comes to an end,

Lips part ways
    with graceful satisfaction
And the stars,
    crawl back
    to where they came,

                 Awaiting their next grand escape.

One night -
When the stars
Fill the blanket of cloudless sky,
They will
align,
And spell out
          My answer.
Bad times, no fun,
I've missed that last kiss,
I cry each night,
There's no getting over this,
I know I started this mess,
It's my own fault and I'm useless,
But I will try my best,

Don't hate me I,
I'm trying to make this whole thing right.

Hold it together dear Lew,
I know you will try to get through,
Been writing as I'm living
So I could build myself up for you,
I'm not sorry for hurting,
But oh god my heart is bursting,
Been confessing my oppression,
Because I want to be free,
I want to be free.

Fixation's clear,
I want to go back home,
Why am I here?
'Cause there's no better place to go.
Feels like the passion has gone,
At least it's better to be wrong,
Everything is done.

Please love me I,
I'm ****** up but I know that it's right.

Hold it together dear Lew,
I know you will try to get through,
Been writing as I'm living
So I could build myself up for you,
I'm not sorry for hurting,
But oh god my heart is bursting,
Been confessing my oppression,
Because I want to be free,
I want to be free.
This poem was inspired by 'Dope' by the incredible Lady Gaga. This song is so full of pain and passion and she is so brave for writing this song.
