Everyone has a dark side
A secret that they keep
Everyone has a dark side
One they hide so deep
Everyone has a dark side
So child you must seek
Cuz one day you just might reap
The Demons that they keep

I gave all of me,
Everything I had,
To you

And that still wasn't enough to keep you.
WiltingMoon Mar 2016
I can feel it
The pain bottled inside
Laugh in my heart
As I try and hide
It's not leaving
It's way to deep
'I think it's time
You learn your keep'
They whisper day and night
I clench my pillows
Trying to dream
Of freedom willows
Another time
Another day
They say it again
No other way
'Learn your keep'
What a thing to think
As I sit a my desk
Writing it down in ink
The pain no longer felt
Because I've found my keep
As I hang from a rope
And my eyes no longer weep
really how sweet is the rose that ****** one to many times?
You know the one that wilts but never dies
thinking its over you go to see if its all rite
but how sweet is the rose that makes you cry
bring her some flowers
act like you love her
see if she wants to get back together
you've pricked her small finger
still her heart lingers
because what is a rose without its thorns
She reverts back to the written not spoken to speak
because to her feelings she hides them to keep
just to keep you around and to see your bright eyes
but how sweet is the rose that only ****** and never dies?

Believe me

I don't want to get deep.

I only want to

keep my head above water.

Do you ever wake up some mornings and think, "Man, this *****, I'm a huge loser?"

Yes?


Well then,

Keep dreaming kid.

Stuff more lies into the turkey that you are about to cook,
I won't move on.
I will remain single waiting for you to realize your mistake.
Even if you won't realize it, I will be happy being single.
I want no one to break my heart like you did when it was least expected.
You are surely cheating yourself with your white lies.

The sky
It was blue
The one who did it
It was you.

You pushed
Away my clouds
You helped me live
With the voices so loud.

You made me see
The light of day
You helped me walk
and not run astray.

Your eyes
They light the dark
they keep me going
even with just one spark.

Your voice
It calms me
Not a like a crashing wave
but like a gentle sea.

The distance
although so long
i keep you close
you keep me strong.

The sunset
the most beautiful thing
But now my sunset
I will sing.
This is for a certain person, they know who they are. This is very different than anything I normally write, but I like this poem a lot.
the world is filled with beautiful things
others die just to allow their kids to dream
A boy is allowed to walk because someone dared to think
But a beautiful world is not in my dream's
Silence is deadly as far as I'm concerned
My minds filled with beautiful words
I write the truth nothing more
Cover up the deadly the sick and the depressed
All so you don't have a heavy heart inside your chest
you've devoted your time to playing video games
im sorry that I act this way
but my words do speak the truth
the world is beautiful
but I owe my beautiful world to you
kind as you are I don't know much
your catholic your not its not a big deal but
I know you like fallout boy
and your American flag pants
you wore your sisters shirt
and you wore a 1920's hat
your suspenders are red and you like to excel
You don't like drama and your kind of introverted
your eyes are brown
and you have no idea how bad im hurting
but ill put it aside all just to Keep you happy
because without you I don't know if I could keep lasting
You are my beautiful world. I don't know how much you know about me and I don't think you would want to. just know I left you alone because I knew you hated drama even though you love to be in plays  because I would rather be invisible to you than for you to not be happy I wouldn't be hear without you Chimney sweep......you...are something ells

i made her run like her mascara as she cried
and i just sighed;
dead inside.

i seen the tides change, she’s tired of me again and who can blame her for talking sense time and time and over again.

i sat on the fence and built a wall around the tension.
Pretending to be on my best behaviour to saviour the pretence.

i sliced through my pale skin,
so you could hear me screaming inside.
the blood poured and you cried,
as much as i tried
i couldn’t hide my shame.

And you could spot how the blade glides that this was just a game.
I felt tame as the scars healed before you saw me again.

I peeled those scabs, red raw
blood sore.
I need to feel what i felt before you saw my insides and core.

But the metaphor was lost in translation.
We spoke the same language but couldn’t stand it when we didn’t understand one another.

We didn’t know at the start,
closed tight shut forever delapidated situation.
Bankrupt.

Yea,
We didn’t know at the start,
money tight, tightrope outspoken broken up arguments and tense situation.

Yea baby,
we just didn’t know at the start;

That art,
was the gate way
& the key to our hearts.
