Raindrops hit the ground,
Everything hurts,
Can’t seem to move,
Thunder rumbles overhead,
Roll yourself over,
Rain begins to slow,
You try to remember,
Nothing comes to mind,
You touch your face,
Cuts across your brow,
Bruises on your cheek,
Memories flash in your head,
Blood covered shirt,
Slowly the past becomes clear,
Life knocked you down,
Love stabbed you in the heart,
Happiness abandoned you,
Left to slowly die,
Give up they told you,
No one wants you,
Not worth a ****,
Anger swells inside,
Revenge is your only thought,
Destroy that, which wronged you,
Pride reaches out its hand,
Helps you stand,
Pain grips your ribs,
You fall to your knees,
Doubled over in pain,
Breathing slows,
You begin to calm,
You feel alive,
You slowly get up,
A fire begins to burn inside,
Battered and beaten,
And yet you still stand,
Stumbling you walk into the light,
Back into reality,
Face all the evils of the world,
Take them all head on,
Rise from these ashes,
For you will never die…

We wake hoping for something new,
Waiting for what this day will construe.
Looking forward to better things,
As each second pulls at heartstrings.
Anticipation grips my inner soul,
I’m slowly losing control.
Spiraling down into black,
Struggling to keep it on track.
Not knowing what comes next,
Leaving me paralyzed and perplexed.
Déjà vu, my mind screams,
As she shatters all of my dreams.
This day started well, that’s for sure,
But now everything seems obscure.
Thoughts of her run through my mind,
My life now lies there undefined.
A broken man, by himself, alone,
Sins left for him to atone.
Telling myself, why this time?
Days like this should be a crime.
Feeling horrible, trying to forget,
As thoughts fills my head with regret.
It happened again, I was blind to it,
My life in this world seems so unfit.
Losing my mind, in every way shape and form,
I’m tired of these days becoming the norm.
To think I gave it my best, but it didn’t work,
All I can do is walk with a smirk.
This day went sour real quick,
Thanks to me falling for another trick.
The life I live seems to be on constant replay,
It’s always the same ****, different day.

Times have been changing...
yet somethings have stayed the same...
I have become a better person...
made myself a new name...

Tried new things, quit others...
met new people, lost some old...
Truths were said to some...
to others lies were told...

No regrets was my motto...
since the beginning of the year...
I sit here today in sorrow...
mulling it over an ice cold beer...

I could of sworn I did it right...
maybe just this one time...
But scorned by her...
as if I had committed a crime...

Left to my own demons...
as I am slowly consumed...
Darkness surrounds me...
sooner than I presumed...

You were the light...
which guided me in the night...
The one who led me to believe...
that I was doing everything right...

You could have save me from it...
saved me from the brink...
In seconds my life shattered...
gone in less than a blink...

I had given you everything...
but you just let it go...
Forgtten I was to be, discarded...
who was I to know...

I take a swig from my beer...
my only friend in my time of need...
The true friend thats there for me...
no matter how much I bleed...

I laugh to think I thought it would work...
17th times the charm...
But now the mere thought of you...
just causes harm...

Numb the pain I tell myself...
just forget it took place...
And yet I can't stop thinking about it...
each time I see your face...

I know I'm not meant for this...
I'm meant for something more...
Something better...
and not to be stepped on like this here floor...

You pushed me away...
when I only wished you the best...
And told you that you were beautiful...
more so than the rest...

You smile and wave like nothings wrong...
yet its there...
You'll never know what could of been...
but where...

Deep down you'll find it...
but I'll be long gone...
Left alone at nights...
waiting for the dawn...

I was there when you needed me most...
when you were lonely...
But you pushed me away and never saw how i felt...
if only...

It's difficult to say if what we do day in and day out,
Makes us into who we are or what we're all about...
In the back of my mind this drives me insane,
When something goes wrong we live in pain...
Heartbroken, distraught, left in a complete funk,
Leaving your judgement in pieces and pride shrunk...
Every minute of every day, you're the only thing on my mind,
I am unfamiliar with myself, I am left here undefined...
When I think of you all my problems melt away,
The time we spend together remains on replay...
You haven't the slightest idea what you mean to me,
To you I don't exist, I'm a fly on the wall that you fail to see...
I can only imagine what you think about when I'm around,
But I don't want to risk running this friendship aground...
We talk about anything and everything, no restraint,
The truth I want to say, leaves my mind quaint...
Should I speak my mind, or keep it inside to keep you close,
Or take the risk and see what happens, I suppose...
The repercussions are severe, the rewards can be great,
All I want to do is lift off my shoulders, this weight...
Time moves on and I don't want to waste our youth,
But it only gets harder to keep this unspoken truth...

Walking down the path of righteousness,
I see the obstacles in my way.
Take each stride as the other precedes it,
As the chains rattle to my side.
Seen as the darkness that clouds the earth,
Being led to the side of light.
These thoughts run through my mind,
Memories of all those I’ve lost.
Those fallen to the same fate as mine,
Guiltless of the crime at hand.
Taken from us for no reason at all,
Torn from life, through fire.
The ropes clench around my body,
My breaths begin to slow.
Looking down I see sticks at my feet,
The crowd grows silent.
A masked man walks with a torch,
Slowly heading my way.
The seconds turn to minutes,
Minutes to hours.
The flame grows, as it gets closer,
My time is at an end.
Sparks fly as the sticks catch fire,
Smoke fills the air.
It begins getting hard to breathe,
Screams fail to escape.
Feeling the fire touching my skin,
Feel the agonizing pain.
The first feeling felt in years,
The end is finally near.
I shake my head and smile,
I’ll be free from it all.
Free from the trials of this life,
Looking up to the sky.
Take my final breath, close my eyes,
Soon consumed by the flame.
Flames begin to calm as nothing remains,
Ashes to ashes they say.
My body turned from dust to dust,
This is how it must be.
As the embers slowly begin to die out,
The memory of me fades…

A moment shared that seemed to last forever,
When in truth it lasted only a second.
A spark never felt before, that gave hope,
Hope for something greater, something bigger.
Something that would come down the road,
And brighten the darkness surrounding.
A blanket of anger, of sadness,
Of fear, rejection and regret.
Uncertainty of the future that controls,
Actions determine the outcome.
Cut down like a tree,
Split and crushed, turned into mulch,
The remains only help others grow.
Never lived a day, until I met you,
Everything seemed right, perfect.
Just wanted to live my life,
Make things right with you.
Your actions speak clearly,
I’m just a pawn in your game.
With no words I realize,
Like that tree, I was only born to die.
Our moment seemed to last forever,
It turned out being a moment of nothing…
Toro Nov 2012
I look into your eyes and all doubt leaves my mind,
All my worries and fear are all left behind.
I don't know why you do this to me or how,
All I know this is where I want to be here and now.
Your smile brightens the darkness of any room,
And yet a single thought keeps me in gloom.
We speak about everything, laugh at every joke,
Letting our minds wander, our thoughts provoke.
If you only knew how much you mean to me,
Maybe then would you finally clearly see.
I would climb the highest mountain, swim the largest sea,
Cause when I'm with you, only then do I feel free.
Not a care in the world, but only to see your face,
Every chance I get; just in case.
Each day that goes by I want you to know,
That I'd do anything to be your beau.
There is always that risk that you may not feel the same,
Not knowing how you feel burns inside me like a flame.
And yet, I am just as content with where we are,
Even though the fire will eventually leave a scar.
To see you happy is all I've ever wanted,
And to leave this relationship undaunted.
As much as it hurts to see you by someone elses side,
I would stand by and swallow my pride.
To risk losing you, or hold you at arms length,
Left fighting this battle with all my strength.
Thoughts left in tatters, emotions left hostile,
But in the end, all I want to do is see you smile...
