I wish what happened had made me bleed.
I'd like to bite down on something thick like raw meat and if it's my own tongue then so be it. Even if I could keep my big clumsy mouth shut i'd still ***** or cut my wrists up all over the carpet for attention. Look at me! Or past me. I'm not good at being ignored. Or I'm the best at it.... I'm a phantom in the sense that I'll make you uncomfortable but no ones sure if I'm even there or what the hell I'm still bothering them for. So if you're not going to see me for me, I'll pull a white sheet over my body and creep through your house in the dark. And if you're going to look my way with a guilty face then you might as well just keep your eyes shut. And I hope someday you can remember who I am. And well...., ******* for not seeing a good thing when you had it. Now haunting you is just another one of my bad habits.
She said stop hanging onto people by threads. I guess i'd just rather have stitches than lose another friend. When nobody loved me I lost my head. Please don't do that to me again. Please don't do that to me again.

It's too late now
to fix things which we ignored thinking will get eventually fixed all by themselves, maybe we should have acted earlier or maybe we should have cared some more ,
but all these maybe's are now nothing more than a false comfort providing words and now I understand that it was only our fault  we let it become a dying heartbeat -
one which just fades and fades !

We are strangers
In world of dangers
One thing to search
Just another stranger

Life is hard
I got on start
But where the sky
I see all dark

Light is bright
That is heard
Where the spot
And how far?

Things that told
Humanity in human
What is here
Is the selfish

Ages know
Stranger as trader
They give some
To get some

Ask me man
If fair it is
For secrets I give
I find loneliness

People so smart
Tell time heals pain
Again the trade
Not aid for pain

Trade as here
Simple no fear
Power to bear
But not to clear

Pain to gain
Isn't that great?
Responsibility with power?
I see empty tower

Where are we
You just think
Can you feel
Without a blink

World now changed
**** for pleasure
Feeling or promise
Anything you wish

What I search
Is just my stranger
To light my sky
With love not cry

Meet me where
My world tends to die.....

Lost in sand
Take my hand...

They say "shoot for the moon – Even if you miss you’ll be among the stars"

You'd just better hope you break the atmosphere or you’ll come crashing back down amongst the gruesome, fiery wreckage.
This was kind of where my previous poem sprung from. I wasn't sure if I should release this as it's own poem or if I should incorporate this into another poem. In the end this is what I've got.

I always wondered,
why I walked behind,
ever since we met this new person,
I never walked beside.

Years have passed,
and I'm still here,
when I try to find you,
you'll try to avoid me.

Seeing you with your friends,
just makes me want to cry,
finding no purpose,
I don't want to be mortified.
We're all third wheelers here

As we walk along the corridor,
I meet you along the way,
I raise my hand to greet you,
But you don't return the same.

I remember when we used to talk,
you talked like you cared,
But now that I don't meet you,
I feel like I'm just dead.
What happened?

the busy streets of new york city
never brought a ring to my ear
i silently ordered a tea
with milk and no sugars
by pointing to it on the menu
the phone never rang
and the only conversation i had
was with myself
a loud mind and soul
mixed with a voice box
but no voice

nobody knows of thunder
but the threat of lightning
we didn't fall in awe of the sky
or talk loudly over pouring rain
our voices felt lonely
isolated in this atmosphere
white paper stayed blank
and i know i wanted to write
but i could not hear my thoughts
over the silence that loomed overhead

a world filled with noise
and expression and love
will never win in the fight
against silence
for ultimately it is in silence
that we blossom and make sound
Weird one, but it's growing on me.

Like qualified pilots who have lost control of their aircraft.
My strength and confidence is has been drained,
I have non no more.

Like the aircraft falling apart in mid-air.
I feel my self shatter,  
I can feel that am breaking,
I know that i have been splintered
And only love can stir me back into position.

With every piece of debri falling from the sky,
And into the middle of nowhere but the hospitality or open seas.
I am lost, deep in the depths of lonliness.
Sinking fast into the scary world of heartbreaks.

Falling so quick it cannot be stopped the last crush of the rest of the aircraft has been captured by the creatures of the sea and no other witness.
Sudden silence and then whispering waves hidding all the evidence,

I keep faking my smile everyday,
Being welcomed by a pool of tears every night.
The only witness present is my sobbered pillow.

Yet like air controllers,  
Those who care seem to wonder
"What on earth has happened to her sparkle?"
"The most inticing eyes have been powdered with grey"
"Where has she lost her zeal,
Her love for nature is gone,
What happened to all the inspirations that made her write?"
And at the back of my mind i wish somebody would get the answers.

All the answers can only be found by the search rescures,
Maybe somebody out there knows i need help, 
Somebody willing to get all the answers,  i guess...

Somehow i know,
That my heart like a black box lies,  
In the deepest ends of the sea bed.
Unless some one comes and opens it,
I will never really know is wrong with me.
