I don't want the pain,
of saying your name,
Anymore.
When you come knocking on my door,
How can I implore
You?
I can't listen to music,
Every drug,
I use it.
Every night,
I ***** it.
I drink
I smoke
I cut
I joke
I sleep,
I've woke.
Don't dream.
Please.
Wake up,
Scream.
You're in my eyes
You're in my mind
I can never seem to find
The numbness,
I rub it.
My chest,
The pain.
My heart
is slain.
I'm just a plain jane,
And you're everything.
I've wanted.
I spotted,
You
From across the room.
It's you.
It's always been you,
And I don't know what to do.

You said you love me,
and I believed you.
It was an infinite happiness,
until I realized that
You are not the person
I fell in love with.

Was it really love?
Or just an illusion?
Your power to make me feel
The way how love should felt.
Hi. I just joined Hello Poetry and this is my first shot. :)
I wish I could break
Shatter into a million pieces
Of sharded glass, waiting to be stepped on.
Causing you to bleed wouldn't hurt me
Because I would already be broken.

This universe doesn't give a ****
Whether we're moving
Or camping out on life's sidelines.
The doers, in the end
Meet the same fate as the dreamers.

I want you to break me.
Work me until I fall apart
Until I can't take it anymore.
At least then
I will overdose on my need for perfection
Before I die of it.
You can take my needle from me
Before my heart stops beating.
Before it turns my blue vein black.

Then maybe I can stop craving
Everything that hopes to **** me off.

You said it was emotionless, just the physical pleasure.
If one of us fell in love it would end.
They way you woke with your hair a mess,
bits sticking out every which way like peacock feathers.
The way you swing your hips when you walk.
The way you wink over your shoulder at me.
The way you smile at me like I'm important.
All these things, all your beauty, all of it together
How did you expect me to not fall in love?
I wish upon a star to be
The girl you think you see in me

I wish upon the candles of cake
To be the girl I try to fake

I wish upon each fourth clover
To become the spitting image of her

I wish upon each coin I throw
To be the girl you desire to know

I wish upon each rainbow I see
That I was the girl you'd ask marry me

I wish upon every white horse
Our paths will blend to a single course

I wish upon each full moon
To become the girl you notice soon

But a wish is merely a wish, you see
A boy like you is never to be
With a girl like myself, a girl like me.
A young boy
No more than five
Holds his happiness within a glass jar

He has trapped a wave within the mason
And when sunlight shines through
He is happy
Because to him, happiness exists in the suns reflection

He rests his jar on the window sill
Hoping to collect the sunshine
Praying it will be enough to keep the darkness away

When darkness comes
It brings crying, screaming, yelling and hurt
His mothers bruises feed off the darkness
His fathers liquor controls in the darkness

When night falls
And he rests in bed
He stares at the jar

The water no long contains the suns gleam
It is black and heavier than it was during the afternoon
He hears a shout, a pound, a creak and a shatter
He hears tears, anger, apologies and hatred

But all he feels is guilt
He could not keep the darkness away
Not with all the suns warmth he collected
Darkness stole it

Darkness stole his happiness
Darkness stole his childhood
Darkness stole his mother's life.
You asked me where I wanted to fall in love

And all I could think was, "In your arms"
The night hasn't came yet
But the light, I barely see them
How did I get here?
In this long dark tunnel
Alone
And it's cold
I found myself
Wrapped with nothing
But misery
Wonder if I would ever be free?

But
Do I want to be free?
I don't know
I don't know what I want
I don't know what I'm searching for
Is it freedom? Is it love?
Are those the solutions
To my problems?

I'm surrounded by darkness
So darkness I became
At first I thought I needed
Just some time alone
But
I came to realise
That I need it way too often

I don't hate everyone
I don't hate this world either
I don't know
I just feel like by distancing myself
Everything feels much better
It's just that
Life is so cruel
One moment, I'm the happiest girl
The next second
I found myself crying to some sad songs
One moment, it was perfect
But you know what they said
Some things are
Just too good to be true
Again, I'm an emotional wreck

It's tiring
I gotta admit that
But if I gave up now
What have I gained?
Nothing, absolutely nothing
I know I have to move on
I know I have to keep moving forward
And I will

But not now

At this crucial moment
I need some time alone
So just let me be
And don't even bother to come search for me

The sounds of gunfire penetrate our ears,
Ive been training for this day for years,
My trusty steed below me never leaves my mind,
For he knows id never leave him behind,


A clap of thunder bellows the skies,
The glare of fear never leaving our eyes,
My horse is my shield,
The pain that we yield,
Sticking together through fiery fields,


My master is light so its easy to run,
But this journey is far from done,
Bullets have penetrated my side,
Im down on my knees,
Lost all of my pride,

Then he screams out in pain,
My master is dead alone in the rain,
I scramble too my hooves and try to get away,
But its too hard,
All this hurt
All this pain,
The last thing i heard on that dark winters night
Was the flare of a machine gun,
and im out like a light
