Once upon a time,
I would see myself off to sleep
Eager to see the sun rise in the morning
Ready to face the world with open arms
^
It didn't take much time,
For the world to hurt me when I was open
Eager to forgive and forget I moved on
Ready to face the world with open arms
^
After some time,
I saw myself fall apart at the hands of others
Eager to find a reason to exist anymore
Ready to face my death with no regret
^
It took time,
For my wounds to heal and my body to cope
Eager to find myself and rekindle my fire
Ready to open myself up to the world
^
Lost track of time,
I stand broken, mended and broken over again
Eager to share my story of adversity and strength
Ready to open my experiences to the world
I wish I was,
For if I could,
Be it a moment,
Or for an eternity,

I would travel back to then

For if it were,
That it was possible,
To correct my wrongs,
All in one go,

I would travel back to when

Nothing but a chance,
To make it up,
The wrongs I made,
I am truly sorry,

**I would travel back to then
I wish I could go back to then, back to when I was wrong, and make it right
"I've never been the kind to ever let my feelings show
And I thought that bein' strong meant never losin' your self-control
But I'm just drunk enough to let go of my pain
To hell with my pride, let it fall like rain
From my eyes
**Tonight I wanna cry"
"Tonight I wanna cry" - Keith Urban
True loyalty is hard to find and harder to earn
Once its broken there is no mending it
Only through the flames of strife do we find ourselves
L*etting go of someone who is true to you is the biggest mistake you'll make
It's hard to find someone who holds and values true loyalty to you.
When someone like that does exist in your life, never take it for granted.
Even if one day they're not they're...their loyalty lies with you, and always will.

I know this, cause my loyalty is to you and you alone babygirl.
True loyalty
Nothing I can say is gonna fix things,
No use begging and pleading.
Ill be right there when the phone rings,
Without you, my heart is bleeding.

I'm just a pathetic cry baby to you anyway,
Weakest at the times I'm meant to be strong.
Not going to just sit there and cry like you say,
I'll bite my tongue just to prove you wrong.

If ever there were a monster, it is me,
For the way I've treated you, it's true.
I'm the worst boyfriend there ever was to be,
Those unforgiving words that are stuck like *glue.
Oh man... the longer im awake the more i think... i cant get over it... am I really a cry baby? Am i pathetic? Am i weak? Do you...love me? Or is it still a "meh."?
The sight of you brightens my day
Hearing you stops my heart for a beat and,
Unto this world I am reborn in your arms
Over and over
Day in
Day out
Time and time again
I am reminded what It means to love
You make me whole
Complete me and
For that
I love you will never suffice
To she
Who holds my heart...



*Thank you,
        I love you
To* Refuse to let her slip away...
Write To pass another day...
Love is all there is to us...
On her arms should our love be spelt out...
Arms** to remind her everyday...
How can you stand there?
So straight faced
And stern?

Just how many wars
Must you have to fight?
Are you not broken or wearing

Toy soldier
Tell me why it is
You do what you do

Is it perhaps
You condone such actions?
You see a morality to fighting

Yet you walk amidst the fray
Made only out of cheap wood
Splintered and chipped
You emerge and return

I hope you wont always be around
*The sight of you unnerves me
He's like a dark shadow over me
Like a vacuum, it *****,
Pressure, produced by people,
Who'v'nt given two *****.

Under pressure

They expect this, and ask for that.
Unknowing, undying in nature,
I sit around, treated like a domestic cat.

Under pressure

No time to think, no time to act.
People, poignant, persistently pushing.
Why does this all, feel like an attack?

*Under pressure
"I've been feeling under pressure" - Logic
I'm just the boy inside the man,
Not exactly who you think I am.
~
When I could only see the floor
You made my window a door.
~
So when they say they don't believe
I hope they see you and me.
Thank you, for picking me up when I was down,
And for fitting all the pieces back together with your love
It's the things we don't know,
That can cause us the most pain...
They say sometimes not knowing is for the best, but I believe... not knowing is the worst kind of pain.
Happiness
Happiness
Happiness
Bam *******
Forget your happiness
You dont deserve it
Went from hero to 0 pretty quick
Happiest time of my life back to 0
I dig
You dig
We dig
He dig
She dig
They did
I know its not a very beautiful poem
But its quite deep
I've sat on this blank page
For quite some time
Just trying to come up with*
A half decent rhyme

All just to say,
I cant take this ******* **** anymore
I cant deal with this feeling anymore, I wish I could stop thinking and talking myself  out of things
I wonder what my mum & dad would say,
If I told them that I cry each day.
*It's hard to live so far away.
Title? I haven't one sadly... Brain dead
I never
Feel as good
As I do
*With you
What even is a "title" ?
There are few times in your life,
That you can say you're close to something massive.
In which you've almost achieved something truly remarkable.
For some, the final moment of college,
The baby countdown, but for me...
Today marks the the beginning of the countdown to the end

This day, 11 months ago I happened to stumble upon someone I never knew would become such an important and big part of my life. Never did I expect the shy girl I'd met online in late December, would make such a tremendous impact on my life.
First came the awkward "hello"
Followed by a sincere introduction
(In which I'd be guilty of miscalculating gender... oh will I ever live that one down hides in shame)
It's one of the most beautiful things to fall in love
Even more so to feel the butterflies in your stomach grow everytime you see them come online.
Talking to you, became the only thing I wanted to do!
I'd rush home from school to jump on and game with you, talk with you and laugh with you whilst getting to know you all the more better.
We would spend hours on school nights, living in the happiness of eachothers company.
It is truly something, when you can look at a name on the screen as they  type, and realize you are
Completely
Utterly
and mind numbingly in love with someone based solely off who they really are
No looks, no sounds. Just personality and who the person is for them
You see I fell head over heels for you my love, you were perfection
It wasnt until a few months later that I caught a glimpse of what you looked like and honey, it was like seeing an angel in the flesh and boy did I fall hard for you. Call me obsessive, call me addicted. You were the only thing on my mind.

March 9th 2015,
"I know I say this alot but thank you. Thank you for always being there for me when I'm down in the dumps, to be quite honest, your the person I've grown close to most in my entire life. Thank you for l-liking me, y-you don't know how much it means to me...I-I'm really s-shy I know and t-this may make you feel a-awkward... b-but...I-I like you too h-hehe and I d-don't say the actual L w-word because it's embarrassing... I just wanted to let you know you mean the world to me..." - Sweet words that changed my life and I'll never forget them

Today marks just, one month from our one year anniversary.
Something I never thought I'd get to experience with anything,
Let alone someone like you.
I love you so freaking much,
You, my other half, complete me and I cannot thank you enough for everything and anything.
I'm sorry that it had to be celebrated,
With you at school
and 4hours of driving between us
But that makes it no less special because wherever you go
You'll always have me in your heart **
                                                              ­                                                *~ Ryan
♥ Happy 11month anniversary sweetheart ** ♥
Somedays...
I just feel like losing my voice
To be voiceless
I don't want to speak

That's not you
It's me
I can't bring myself to speak
To silence myself
Subordinate myself...

Someday...
I feel no one listens
As though I simply am invisible
If I wasn't there, would they notice?
If I simply wasn't

I want to become a mute
There is nothing I wish to tell you
So don't look at me with your sad eyes
I simply wish not
To speak
Please...let me lose my voice...
I'm just waiting for the day
That you leave me
Left on the ground
Out for the count of three

I'm just waiting for the day
That I become too much for you
Then I guess we'll come to see
Just whose words were true

I'm just waiting for the day
That I can tell you I told you so
When we're apart we'll see
Just how horrible things will go

I'm just waiting for the day
You decide we're better on our own
I don't want to hear you cry
When I pick up the *phone
I dont think I can quite give you the Image in my head..
The nightmares that plague my tired mind

They haunt me, terrify me and leave me clenching my throat for air
There are many but only few get me this way

There you are, myself trapped behind transparent glass...
I bang
I scream
...the only thing that seems to break is me...

I can only watch on as the horrors of your past unfold and the pain in my chest worsens and worsens
I gasp for air trying to control my own dreams, if thats what they really are
My knuckles are ****** my eyes swollen but I still cant break the glass
I slump to my knees sobbing and whimpering, broken beyond repair

I awake in the morning, my body still trembling
You are the first person I talk
Yet I smile, pretend like nothing would ever be out of the norm'

I can break down many walls, you broke mine, I let you in and it was never a mistake
You broke down the walls I threw up to "protect myself" when all it was, was to shut the world out
I could never thank you enough
So why...can I not break the one wall in front of me..?

*At night I lay awake
Tossing and turning
Forcing myself awake to distract from the sadness in my head
One day I will save you
One day I will be there
One day...I'll get away from these nightmares...
Oh dear god, sweet child of mine...
How do you cope with your nightmares?
The thought of losing you breaks me down,
But the thought of you hurt shatters me...

Even in my dreams, I cant do the one thing I wanted from the start...
To be...there..
To you,
To me,
To us...?
Are we really forever?
I'm so sorry...
I didn't mean to... just...did
Guess
Ultimately
It's
(the)
Little
T**hings
All the tiny things that others would take for granted, are the things I love most.
Your hair in the morning, the way you drink, the sound you make when you're embarrassed. I love it all so much
Tears of pure, from a life unfair.
For she who knows, of sorrow and sadness,
Shall forever awaken from this nightmare,
And exit this realm of eternal madness.

A world shrouded in perpetual night.
Sitting here as i patiently wait,
For someone to save me from the fading light.
Hoping thy savior shan't arrive too late.

The ever growing sadness inside your soul,
Everything making it increasingly hard to cope.
For you to be happy is my only goal,
To change the trajectory of this saddening *****
Nothing in my life quite compares to that feeling.
That sinking feeling inside myself.

This feeling exists because it is a vacuum...
Something from deep inside myself was removed and all thats left
Is this gaping hole ******* me into darkness.
Never was I okay with hurting you
or upsetting you
Cept now I crushed the dream you held onto dearest

Now I cant breathe
I cant think
I cant feel anything else
I feel dead inside truly and cannot bring myself to do any right
I dont even have any tags or words left...
Where will you be..?*

Tell me brave knight,
As the path in front of you became twisted
Did you falter?
When the skies turned puce, withered
Scattered. Were you afraid?

Along you rode, high and mighty
To what did you find nearing the end
Nothing but trials
Tribulations, set before you to prove your worth
Was it here that your spirit died?

Loves hate that burns inside
How long before you were choked on your own tears?
Before your darkest of fears stripped your honour
As the ground beneath you began to break and vanish
Did you wish to turn and run? You continued
As everything around you fell to the
Dark abyss, can you say you remained strong?

As it all fell
Where were you?
Tell me brave knight...
After it all, would you keep pushing forward?
A story of hope, loyal to the end. The knight would face every obstacle in his path, if it meant reaching his damsel in the end.
I thought humans learnt from their mistakes?
Perhaps I'm the exception to the rule?
One would think you'd learn not to put so much trust in others,
In the end.... They'll abuse it.

When my best friend turned around and stabbed me in the back,
Hacked into everything I knew, everything I owned and used it all as blackmail against me, I thought I knew how it felt to Hurt
To feel genuiene Anger towards someone.
I of course was wrong...

Now, couple years down the track, I put too much trust into someone I now know I should never have. He turned around and stabbed me in the back and broke me. I though I knew how it felt to be Crippled
To feel like everything inside me Shattered
Single handedly ruined me and my life, shattered my trust in people and when there was no one there to support me... I fell deeper into the abyss. I sought refuge and support from the people I still held trust and faith in
They too abused my trust in them and broke me further, By now my pieces are too small to fit back together.
A shattered mine and a crippled soul but...
Everyone has problems. Everyone is hurting right?
I shouldn't complain, shouldn't tell you my problems because they're not your problems and why would you want them?
That's absurd

No matter what I say anymore, it is with an ill will
No matter what I do anymore, it is with an ill will
No matter how I feel anymore... it carries with it an ill will...
I am nothing but what people tell me I am
I can't begin to list how others make me appear anymore than I can begin to list how I appear in the mirror...
There is no thinking positively
There is no "It gets better"

When you're me...
...Even the saddest of emotions turn to anger.
I'm at that point where anything and everything hits me
Double faulted left right and centre
Made to live up to needs and wants that cannot be returned and im surprised I still manage to talk to anyone.
No where is a safe haven anymore, I am...
All on my own in this
If I could go back in time*

Even perhaps, say 48hrs,
HELL! I'd take 24...
Itd be to do many things

But I'd make sure I told myself
To just ****
3:26am and counting...
Why do you write?

I get overwhelmed easily and words on paper and on a screen are highly effective means of externalising that

I cant read others poems often without crying and am inspired to write of my own

Writing calms me and although at times its already too late, it stops me from doing or saying something ill regret

So I write for sanity
Peace of mind
For clarity
To express myself
Set myself free
Empty my head
Get over myself
People to see how I am
To hide away
Not show myself like I am in poems to people
You can tell alot about someone just by looking at their poems and most popular. You can see when theyre up, down, times, moods and current state of being
we all write for something or someone
Why* wont you return my messages
Why do you worry me sick
Why would you disappear like that
Why would you succumb like so
Why...

You promised me
You wouldn't do anything
You would stick whatever may come out, You as well as me
You...

I always knew you weren't okay
I always asked and you'd never let up
I always tried my best to maintain contact
I always would've talked you out of it
I...

We are capable of withstanding so much
We are not immortal
We are fragile, sensitive and weak
We are human
*We...
Between everything going on right now I'm speechless. My partner put out the most heartfelt poem and I cant write a single word.
I really am over my head in all this...
Nicole... Tiana... Mum... Dad... Life... its all just... What am I to do? I cant even think of a title...
Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
You're every dream I've ever had,
**Come true!
I thought once upon a time I could put a filter on love. Dreaming of the girl I would want to be with. Little did I know that girl would be you!
Everything I ever wanted and more in a partner, thats you.
I cant fathom just how beyond perfection, you do everything you do!
The girl of my dreams, my one and only.
Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
I've had enough madness,
**Wish my hellish days were through.
I mean... I just... I only... I... I'm sorry...
I was ready to relish
In the fruits of our labour
We'd come far from there
The odds finally in our favour

It seems that fate
With twisted wicked tricks
Has our candles of hope
Burning at the end of their wicks

A single wish
That we'd asked to come true
Is all that seemed to be ignored
When I bring up me being with you

Guilt, doubt, misery
and evergrowing sorrow
Are the side affects of thinking
It's worth not waking *tomorrow
Thought bomb
Title makes so sense
No context
No relevance
Just pure cold emotion
I love you* for giving your heart to me
and trusting me with your pride
I love you for wanting me
and need me by your side
~
I love you for the emotions
I never knew I had
I love you for making me smile
In those times I feel sad
~
I love you for your thoughts of me
where im always on your mind
I love you for finding that part of me
that I never thought I'd find
~
I love you for the way you are
and for how you make me feel
but most of all I LOVE YOU
'cuz I know you're mine for real
Wǒ ài nǐ, wǒ de nǚ péngyǒu
Wǒ huì yǒngyuǎn ài nǐ
You said you loved me and I smiled like never before.

You said I was an idiot and I never held it against you.

You said I was the sweetest boy on this earth and I blushed so hard my cheeks hurt.

You said I was stupid and I sighed inside knowing it was true.

You thanked me for being there for you and taking care of you and I said you needn't thank me.

You said I hate you.... I broke down and cried...

I hate me, not you.
I never know if you mean the words you say...
I look around
But all I see is grey.

Grey like the clouds that plague these skies
Grey like the gravel beneath my feet in which I trudge
Grey like the fog that clouds my judgement
Grey...like the beards upon my elders, bleak and withered

I try to feel
But all is nothing but bleak... miserable... and empty
Everything I worked so hard to accomplish is nothing but embers in the wind
I didnt do it just for me, no. I did it for us, though it seems I failed...again
I couldnt make our wish come true, and now... Now I cant make you happy anymore... I miss your smile...

That one dream
One wish
One hope...
...*has been crushed
Looks like I'm not going to see my girl anytime soon...
... Im sorry...
These words these feelings they burn inside,
I cant take them so I run and hide.
I act on impulse not rational thought,
Saying stupid things for all I wrought.

I regret every word and can't take them back now,
Wishing I'd never said nothing as if I knew how.
Stupid mistrakes, one after another to you,
Sorry isnt enough to console my boo...

I bash myself as you do too, I feel bad,
When you're the one who ends up sad.
You don't do this to me, don't blame you,
Its my fault here and the things that I *do.
Be careful with words they burn like fire
never say something unless you mean it
and never say it knowing you'll regret it
You
You
You* are my definition of perfection
You are the reason I smile, at the single thought of you
You are beautiful
You are talented
You are sweet and sincere and all that comes with
You are funny and know how to have fun
You are adorable when youre tired and cute in between

I think the part I love most about you, in my own selfish way...is that you are mine

We are forever
We are as much a couple as we are a team. "The Dream Team"
We are perfectly fit together, you and I
We are able to work through it all
We are forever and always

You are not some toy, you are not a trophy in the sense I own you but I feel like a winner everytime I look at you because I feel honor to have you and that we becomes *us
You
You
I still think of* you,
Late at night,
When I can't sleep right.
~
I still dream of
you,
In my grasp,
When loneliness refuses to unclasp.
~
I still long for
you,
By my side,
When my tears have dried
~
I still cry over
you
Every waking second,
When my beating heart beconds.
~
I still can't forget
you,
Every single day,
When I say I'm okay.
~
Why,
Is everything still,

**You?
We really have no idea what's going on in eachothers lives anymore. For the most part I think I'm doing better on my own, by that I mean us not talking... It's hard, I can't lie, this piece sums up alot of what I'm going through on the most basic level.
These pieces don't help me like they used to, back in the day, but I guess it's a good way to say things I wouldn't usually be able to.
I hope you're doing okay, I hope you're happier now and with people who improve your day, mood, happiness and life. I'm trying to do the same for me...
I look forward to counselling, and to being in a better place, atm I don't know what for, who for or why I am living, so finding a reason will do me good.
Oh, here where we lie,
Outstretched to wonder why we don't belong
You deserve much more, and I'll give until I'm all gone
Forever know your face
And ever take your place here by my side,
Like a ghost into the night,
The poisoned apple to my bite,
I'll be the shadow at your door,
I'll be the moth into your light,
'Cause you deserve much more
Yeah, 'cause you deserve much more
Excerpt from
"Let Love Bleed Red" - Sleeping with Sirens
You mightn't be perfect

You never had to

I just needed you to be you,
Cause you may not be perfect

*But you're perfect to me
Inspired by "Hers"
Beautiful theme/idea, just took it and applied it to what ive already told my girl
You know when you,
Feel like you've ****** up,
So many times that,
You've forgotten how,
You fixed it every other time?

You know when you,
Try so hard to,
Play the victim and,
You've not stopped to think,
You caused the problem and are to blame?

You know when you,
Have done something you know
Is wrong but
You've tried telling them,
You are sorry and didnt mean it?

You know when you,
Went too far this time but,
Still want to atone for what,
You've said and done yet,
You cant find the right words to do so?

You know when you,
Cant forgive yourself for,
Those things you did and,
You've had time to think what,
You could have done better?

You know when you,
Feel nothing but,
Empty inside ever since,
You've pushed the only thing,
You really cared for away?

You know when you,
Can spill your heart and,
Guts here all you want but,
You've got no courage to do what,
You know you should be doing?

You know when you,*
*Finally run out of things to say,
But you continue talking to realize,
You've made the problem,
You created worse?
I do...
OH MAN, how I wish I didnt need to know...
Do you know when you...?
When shes standing there
Upset with you cause
You left her,
When she needed you most
You left her,

Would you stand and fight?

When shes crying in front of her
Broken because
You left her,
When she wanted you so badly
You left her,

Would you tell her to get over it?

When shes trembling before you
Torn inside because
You left her,
When she swore she missed you more
You left her,

*Would you get up and leave?
No. . .
No you wouldn't. When shes upset, you know you comfort her and tell her you're sorry, you tell her you didn't mean it and it won't happen again.
When shes crying you hug her, whether she wants it or not. You hug her, tell her its all gonna be okay, that you love her and even though shes crying shes still the most beautiful thing you've ever seen. Because she ****** well is!
When shes trembling you take her in your warm embrace, you show her you never meant to hurt her. That you know what you did without words and are there. That you really do love her.
I would know... I made all the wrong choices... I made mistakes. When I should've heeded my own advice.
I love you. . . And aint a ****** thing gonna change that *** **
You really don't know do you?

You do not know...
How your smiles lights up the dark,
How your laugh eases all my nerves and anxiety,
How your eyes see into the deepest parts of my heart,
How your ears listen to me without falter.


You don't know...
How you brighten up each day,
How you make getting out of bed worth it,
How you inspire me to be a better person,
How you have changed my life for the better.


You don't know...
How much you mean to me,
How much I appreciate all you do,
How much desire I have for you,
How much I love you.


You don't know...
How special you are to me

You really don't know
Eh, I'm sorry ;;
You are the reason,
My heart melts inside.
It never ceases to amaze,
Just knowing that you're mine.
~
Through every season,
So many ways you let me know;
There are many things,
That make your aura glow.
~
You are the reason,
My heart joyously sings.
Babygirl, what you mean to me;
Is more than anything.
~
You are my forever,
My lover, my life
You are the only reason,
My life feels so *right.
Try go for something a little more positive and a little more #optimism in it... I tried, I'm not much of a romantic
Tell me once
I won't listen

Tell me twice
I will shake my head

Tell me a third time
I will glare at you and get angry

Tell me a fourth
I will start yelling at you

Tell a fifth and final time*
*I will snap and tell you to shut the **** up and leave me alone and to explain on what grounds you would have the right
I know how much pain she causes
I know how unhealthy you think my relationship is
I know its not cliché love
But its my relationship founded upon love regardless of what was said or done.
Tell me to leave her and she's no good for me one more time....
There is a darkness in this place,
I am sworn your protector.
These evils afflict without a trace,
I am truly yours, never a defector.
The world can be cruel,
It can be cold and unforgiving.
We all need someone there for us when we cant be strong.
Someone to hold our hand and lead us through the tough times.
This world can be cruel,
It can be cold...
But It brought me to you... Life is full of surprises
Whenever Im grieving
Upset
Hurt you
Sleepless and restless
Tired
Crying
Lonely

I can be found in your top
It keeps me warm
Safe
Happy
I feel loved
The smell is intoxicating and i love it

I hug your teddy
It smells of you
Feels like being close to you
Oh how I love it

I want to give you something
Meaningful
Worth it
Warm
Loving.
To remember me when you feel the same
For when we fight and we both know
I love you.
Will always remain
YOU THINK YOU KNOW ME
Hahaha
Surprise surprise you'd think so
Oh

Sorry I dont think I said it right
You think you know me?
Hahaha
Surprise surprise you thought you did
Oh

You talked to me for a bit
Learnt my name
What I like and who I am
YOU THINK YOU KNOW ME?!
HA!
Dont demean our relationship with pathetic lies
YOU
Saw what I wanted to show you
YOU
Know all in which I've told you

Surprise surprise
YOU THINK YOU KNOW ME

*
...you don't...
You have no idea what it's like to be me
To wake up, knowing this is who you are
Powerless, helpless and pathetic
You, think you know me
But you don't
