My Old Friends
Taylor B Nov 2013
The stainless steel
It controls my life
It's cold to the touch

But in my heart
It is warm
How I love this metal

The metal sweetly caresses my skin
Gently, so gently
The blood comes out warm

Ode to Vans Warped Tour
Taylor B May 2013
O' Warped Tour

On the hot blacktop we stand
In front of your various stages

The beautiful bands grace us with their angelic,
or if they prefer, demonic, voices.

O' Warped Tour

The people we meet
Girls in bikinis

Boys with ****** noses
Teenagers sitting on shoulders

O' Warped Tour

Mosh pits in the front
Singing in the back

Crowd surfing
To running circle pits

O' Warped Tour

With your merchants
And band autographs
With your cigarette smoke
And crazy teens
With your summer days
And loud music

We never want to leave
O' Warped Tour
We love you

Sea Floor of my Own Tears
Taylor B May 2013
I just want to scream

Scream at her

Scream at her family

Collapse on the sea floor of my own tears

Drown in front of them

Die with one last scream in my lungs

Save that scream for God

Scream at God for letting this happen to me

WHY GOD?! WHY ME? WHY US? WHY HER?

And He will calmly tell me everything happens to make us stronger in the Lord

And I will Scream

All the way down to Hell

Not to Heaven. Thats where she is. I want to avoid her for the rest of eternity

But really I just need to scream

Miss Missing You
Taylor B May 2013
I miss you
Like a clock misses the time
Like a lion misses its voice
Like a heart misses a best friend...

I would have taken a bullet for you
Instead you are the one behind the trigger
A smile on your face when you pull your finger back
Shoving hatred into my heart.

All of a sudden you hate me
I will never understand why
I wish you would have told me

I am trying to forget you
I want all love I have for you to fade away
I miss missing you

Sometimes before it gets better the darkness gets bigger...
My whole life is darkness right now
When will it get better?
My best friend of 5 years who saved me from suicide, loved me, made me feel valuable, helped me, protected me, and all around was always there for me stabbed me in the back. Her whole family turned against me from one verbal argument because her mother told her she was never allowed to be near me again for no reason. She then told the school that I was a bully and now if I even walk past my ex best friend I could be suspended. I have been miserable for the last 4 1/2 months now. I am just now able to write something that isn't pure anger. I am so alone. I miss her. She was the only one who ever encouraged my writing and now I am finding that writing is my only way to deal with it. I don't even know...This poem is partially from Fall Out Boy.

Ledge
Taylor B May 2013
Death has many hands to do his ***** work
But one is always occupied with me

His hand is around my throat
Suffocating me

I have a narrow ledge that I like to stand upon
This ledge is called suicide

If I should step off my ledge
Well you know

Death's bony fingers would win my battle
A victim of suicide in his noose

Paramour
Taylor B Nov 2012
He was 25 and married
She was 18 and single

His eyes we the color of irresistible caramel to a girl with braces
Hers of an ocean wide and lonely for they often rained

He wanted her so bad
She needed him badly

His head said no
Her body said yes

What is left is history
Or so they say
Good? Bad? I say a little of both.

Complexity
Taylor B Nov 2012
Complexity
I love you breathlessly

My mind is full of wanderlust
Like a modernist

Butterflies gather
Hearing laughter

Suddenly I awoke
I am alone

My mind is too complex.
I don't know. Is this even a poem?

The Wall
Taylor B Nov 2012
There is a wall of glass between us
I am to scared to go near it
It is thin
Fragile
If it breaks I will have to talk to you
Share the air you are breathing
So I stay away
Sometimes I get too close and run away
You don't chase because you never notice me
Will you ever look and see me?
I think not
So I continue to look at you and sigh a lovers sigh

There is the great Wall of China between us
In separate worlds now
I think of you when you never knew my name
How I wish the wall was fragile glass again
I would break it and run to and not away from you
Then we could walk the Great Wall of China together
Hand in hand
Not very good. Written from the heart though. Thanks for reading.
