Bare feet,
Naked legs;
You have had me whole.

Back scraping,
Lip biting.
That tiniest drop of blood.

And that moment
Where your eyes meet mine,
And you collapse,
Breathless,
Still,
Calm.

And for the briefest moment,
I can pretend that I am all you want,
Just as you said.

But you want those bare feet,
Those naked legs,
Those pale *******.
And my blissfully open mouth
From which no words
       dare to pass.
Fly in my airspace!
Not a chance
One Europe for all?
Not here in France
It will save fuel and time
NO NO NO
We are control freaks
More cheese or wine?
Dedicated to the air traffic control freaks of France
The t.v. drones in the other room, but all that I can hear,
Is the music in your soft voice ringing in my ear.

The world goes by at the speed of light but all that I can see,
Is the way, that your green eyes seem to pierce the soul of me.

The snow's so high, the winds so cold, but all that I can feel,
Is your warm skin against my own, I can't believe it's real.

The flowers bloom out in the yard but all that I can smell,
Is your perfume upon the air, and how you wear it well.

Dinner's gone, the wines been poured but all that I can taste,
Are your sweet lips that linger near through some act of grace.

Jealousy was the world's first fantasy.
To see her eyes look at him
in the way only she can...
and he's not even trying for it.
You can give your all in vain, selfishness, bitterness,
You can toast at their wedding...
Excuse me...
Exquisite torments,
Her body, voice, my leaving—
Freedom above all.

Your drug is lies
You clothe weakness in disguise
What does it gain you?
An addiction to pride.
Yeah you're indifferent
As long as "they" are to you
When they stop, anger leaks through.
You promise the world
Which you know can't come through
Who gave all those rights to you?
You've hurt so much
And pretend not to care
But recently you're looking a little worse for the wear
All that's inside, the things you try to hide
Will unbound publicized
With this addiction to pride.
But you'll never be broken
With all your walls built through-and-through
For you, humility's impossible
No, even if it'll save you.
Yet you think you're the master
True, almost all think you're sweet and "ok"
But those that care most
You just push them all away.
Despite the fronts you put up
I know you're lonely inside
Surrounded by "friends"
But tortured with this facade caused by pride.
Your addiction
Will bring you nothing inside.

I think that
They believe
They can hide me
In a box
Forever.

They
"Only
Want
To
Protect
Me."

But it isn't
Protection
When
The surface
Isn't
Permeable.

Nothing gets in
And
Nothing gets out.

And
There isn't
Air to
Breathe.
Normal kids update angry facebook statuses when they get ******. I write poetry :3

when boy met girl
the world shook
the sky held it's breath
the sea swelled then ceased
when boy kissed girl
time did stop
boy's heart beat then burst
boy's eyes closed but saw
when girl left boy
boy sat still
and stared at wall
and stared and stared and stared
till boy was naught but bones and ash
when boy was gone
the earth grew still
the wind picked up
the waves rose to crash
time went on...
but boy's heart was dead
eyes food for worms
the love I felt had left
the boy I was slept six feet down
