#notme
When you’re with me You think of her Wondering why You could not have her You sit and wait On the edge of the bed Whispering softly You love me instead Cushions squished In silent agony Holding the weight Of what we pretend to be I wait And hope To hear from you While you hope the same But not from me Your eyes drift far Though you’re close by Searching for someone I cannot outshine One day you may see What we were meant to be But for now you sit and wait For her And not me

Beside You, Not With You
They have always said, "People come, people go" But why not- "No one stays, No one comes"? Because people can't handle truth, they always show — They blame, shout, hurt, fight & then at the end, dump... Is it that hard to care? Is it that secretive to share? Why do they always think it's fair? Am i that worthless, they dare? When i burn, they're the salt, When i shine, they're the taunt, When i cry, they're the drought, Even though they blame, It's not my fault!

Not My Fault
He was there Looking excited Waving his hands Smiling genuinely At my direction He walked towards his favorite girl With some roses and tulips in his hands He walked and walked And hugged his girl.... Beside me.

Beside Me
He said he will **** her Why did it fall in place Like his kiss was planted To show she was a different case She thought he joked, but why Maybe that's how he operates Let's say what's the worst that can happen And leave with just a taste Then she will see he had mercy While he treats her as waste Tell her off like she was a **** Maybe shift the whole blame

It's not me, it's you
the trees are budding and everyone is sneezing but I breath easy

springish
I can see cleary the scene where we first met I feel the warmth of your smile I hear the glee in your voice I am entangled in the thought of you And when I saw you walk towards me I felt as if the heavens blessed me with an angel And When I saw you walk past me, I knew I was only in your path. I am entangled in the thought of you, and why I am unwanted. I hear the silence in your void, your words are never for me. I feel the darkeness settle over me again, where it always is. I can see clearly the scene where we last met. Discarded. Forgotten. Unwelcome. Me.

Always and Forever
I want to be your cliche your now and your later I want to wake in your arms with my heart pressed against yours I want to share your blanket as we gaze at the stars I want to protect you from all your fears the way you protect me from mine I want so desperately to see you happy so when you say you love him I can only hope he will make you smile the way you make me

My Cliche
Thoughts or actions with no care ahead you speak simply without worry about what you said you can laugh without getting upset or stand up without heat rushing to your head eyes you know are there yet how are they no where to be seen I don't make a sound for the fear of feeling drowned that comes anyhow but not for not making a sound instead for not being allowed why am I casted the spell on when I see everyone around me free yet I can't even plea and you can't see me If I could only make a wish so that you could see This isn't me

who i used to be
Every day I wake up I look at the ceiling My soul goes back to sleep Every moment I get up My body is filled with sadness Hopefull wishes that don’t exist Black cloud that don’t belong here Trying to be perfect for the wrong people Saying to myself every day “I’m not myself.” Waking up to a smile on my face But in reality, I really want to cry I don’t want you to understand Only I can determine that Dark black hole that I keep falling in and I can’t get out Please god help me The more you say The more I cry inside

Here there be trolls grab a handful of wits! I'm not here being bold throwing red flags upon twits! So here's a word from me carry it with you my friend No message from me you'll see as initially I'll never send So if you receive such a thing you'll know beyond shadow's doubt It didn't come from the skull so go right ahead and throw it on out ROFL One of my more innocuous poems is under review ROFL Some Troll must have flagged it how sad, and pathetic ;D

Doubtful Identity
I wish I could be, Like everyone else, Not have feelings, But have this backup. Knowing that I **** up, With someone new, My backup will be there, From time to time... That's cool, Until I think of, Who is kissing you, And who wakes up next to you.

I Write For You
Sometimes I wish I were an insect. So small and insignificant. Where all I had to worry was where to eat and where to sleep.  Under a rock or deep in the ground away from the world. My only worry the trample of a boot or the squawk of a bird. Sometimes I wish I were an insect.     Sometimes I wish I were a tree. Strong and sturdy. Where all I had to do was stand and watch the seasons change, the people change, the world change. My only worry the chop of an ax or whether my roots are deep and strong enough to stand against the howling winds. I wish I were a tree.      Sometimes I wish I were a river. Moving rapidly and easy. Where all I had to do was go with the flow of my current. My only worry the unbearable heat that brings on a drought or the toxins of man. I wish I were a river.

Sometimes
why think so lowly of me these flickering heart arching back if only you know but what the use of your knowings why think so lowly of me it's not me i am not flicking the flame how could i but what the use of these confessions why think so lowly of me those shattered imperfect dreams gazing eyes if only you know but what the use of my explanations you will still think so lowly of me

not me
but darling, i must not say that you deserve someone better for if you truly were enamored of me, i would have been the best. but darling, if all these years i was not, then i must conclude we only were confused. and so we both were fooled, i must confess. but darling, if all these years i was not, i defy you to not take a day to move on, i defy you to not long for my existence, i defy you to not reminisce our moments, i defy you to not try to break the walls i will once again build. but darling, i must not say that you deserve someone better for what i had in me that i gave you is different, is irreplaceable, is a thing i never thought i had. and so is what your lover will give you. but darling, before i bid goodbye, forgive me for giving up, forgive me for breaking us apart, forgive me for taking back my heart, and forgive me for not forgiving you. but darling, i must not say that you deserve someone better. you deserve someone, not better, but is not me.

you deserve someone
So messed up So confused Lost in my own head Actions - not my own ******* over Multiple times By what was to be My success My life I never knew That life could be so difficult Been declined and denied Oh, too many times over Set the world ablaze Light it on fire Burn the world And savour the heat Keep it in Until finally it becomes Too much Then burst And burn And shine Like a supernova

Supernova
I'm not the same I've been destroyed I've gone insane The struggle I have Figuring out why I've become this way How did I allow this It was somewhere between Each different heartache That removed every bit of me Those no longer in my life That easily walked away Without a good bye A reason why They robbed me Pieces of my heart they stole That day they walked away I've gone insane I've been destroyed I am not the same These thoughts can't be mine They're way out of line Smile during the day Crying at night Yelling why I don't know to get by Each day I struggle Questioning why Begging for it to end Smiling is no longer easy My laughs are short I don't speak anymore Sleeping doesn't help Neither does eating Drugs are a remedy But only temporarily Even those no longer help Laying wide awake Remembering why I've been destroyed What's made me go insane To make me not the same The answers vary There are so many I'm not the same I've been destroyed I've gone insane There's no way back

They love the mask, but I can't breath through it's lies They love the mask, but I can't see through it's eyes They love the mask, but I can't speak with it's tongue They love the mask, but I can't hear when it's on

The Mask
No matter how many people try to ask. I make sure they never get a glimpse behind the mask. Because i am afraid that they will hate me for my past. If they do i feel i will go straight into an outcast. And i am afraid that i will be all alone. I know i can't handle living this life all on my own. So i make sure the mask is on tight. But will it last until I go into the light. What if it breaks, its hiding so much it just might.
