She,
Were bright, and watered,
With the benevolent adoration
She blooms, unwithered.
But only at first.

Then she were glued,
To an unrealistic standard.
Of beauty,
Of what she will become.

Of other people,
To other people,
With other people.

...
That's when it hit me
The light bulb finally went off
They were wrong about hope
Hope doesn't build
It doesn't help
It doesn't create
Hope does nothing but destroy

And so I promised myself
To never ever sell hope
To anyone
For the false hope you gave me
Was the cruelest thing you did to me
Right after you left.
(Just finished reading a lengthy journal entry/ poem by RH from years ago and I'm in tears. I guess she takes promises a lot more serious than I thought LOL. I was considering sharing tidbits of the poem but for now this is the ending.. Enjoy ~BM)

I want the night to stay its night
Stay its blackness and dimness
I want the night to drop its curtain
To cover all the realm
Where humans roar louder than beasts
And do more murders than tigers
I want no day come into light
For hunters can see the clearest
And blood looks the reddest
Let the black sweep things down
From the dreadful streets to the peaceful forests
The world of fear doesn't deserve the light
'Cause darkness is sweeter than nightmare
A poem for the cruel and wicked world

Don't be cruel, my love

Lower your gaze

And hide your smile

It's hard enough loving  you

from this distance

It’s a cruel world out there
full of death and despair
In the shadows I see them
Wolves hunting down their prey

It’s a cruel world out there
and survival is rare
but it’s time I gave in
and realize I cannot stay

I’m going out in the cruel, cruel wild
My pride won’t be defiled
There will be danger and maybe death
You can not stop so don’t waste your breath

The arrow shot came,
Piercing through my heart
The flow of blood
Made way, for his fame art

I fell with tearing eyes,
Before him on the ground
He looked away,
To see who else was around

I gasped my last breath
With his picture in my eyes
Love could be this cruel
That he believed in foreign lies

As her gaze was fixed somewhere

I can never be.

And her cruel words made

every sweet memory bitter.

Her words full of hatred for me,

but her action full of love.

As her smile never reached her eyes

and her heartbeat I could never find.

I looked at her

trying to find the one who loved me once

only to find someone chained to me by fate.

Who claims to love me

but never does.

I am her mirror,

always was.

Her love fed my love

and her anger fueled mine.

I shrink back to my own shattered shell

away from her accusing eyes,

away from her cold touch.

Not for revenge,

but to hurt myself before she could.

Maybe one day she would look at me

And try to find the one who loved her once

but end up with what I feel now.

Claim over someone, but not their love.
She told me she's more than she looks
But to figure her out you don't have to hit the books
She'll twist you and say all the right things
Be what you need but in the night what she brings
Is not lust for you not passion or need
It's only her insatiable heart breaking greed
To call her a ***** would be too *****
She's calculated and pretty far too evolved for flirty
She's a carnivorous creature of the night
Hear her words but I pray with experienced might
That this girl won't cross your path at any point in time
For this siren, this mistress was a manipulative love of mine.
Don't let this girl fool you she's more than she seems and more trouble than she is worth. My Dangerous. Homewrecking. High school sweetheart.

Is it strange that I thought the world would stop?
Was I too arrogant?
To think my presence here
me
me!
living
alive
would mean so much more?
That it would stop for a second in acknowledgement?
I'm dead!
I thought I would matter more
Heck! BE more!
there has to be more significance
I'm important!
That my memory would be more searing
that I would leave a mark
a scar at the least
Was I too selfish to think my death would change you?
That your smile would never return
because I was the reason
you smiled?
You should be sad for eternity!
You're not allowed to smile!
You're not allowed to walk on like nothing!
You're not allowed to slowly forget me!
You're not allowed to go about your life like normal!
Why do you get to live while I have to lay
six feet under?
Am I selfish to think this way?
Am I too conceited to think that I meant more?
That the world would stop when I was gone?
How cruel
nothing happened
My existence ends right there
cut short and now I'm nothing but
memory
photograph
video
writing
even though I died
The world still turns
it still turns
The musings of a dead high school student.
