The saddest thing in life is wasted talent
You were my biggest challenge

To not only have you fall in love, but to keep you fallen

It is not easy

If only I could see we'd turn into a tragedy
We forgot why we loved each other in the first place

But remembered each other's mistakes

What would it take ?

My words don't mean anything anymore
And about you... I'm not sure
Could he not see myself sinking into despair after ever word he spoke

Could he not see the tears streaming down my face as I began to choke

He criticized and dehumanized me
His loose lips were never sweet

Why couldn't it be...

My face got pale and hands got weak
I could feel my body dropping to me knees

And as he continued to reveal his wicked hate
I feel my soul beginning to deteriorate...

I cannot recall the moment
that sanity became a working goal.

Drugs are expensive,
sobriety; even more so.
Somewhere between all of this
I will have to learn to live.

The homeless are pushed out of town,
asleep beneath the railway bridge
that sends rain through rivets
like bullets.

I keep punching the clock
as it throttles Eros with slow hands.

“Sometimes just a smile is enough”
reads a cardboard placard.
But I have not cracked a smile
since I started popping these pills.

Love
Eat
Is that the lowest moment?
When you don't dare to wear shorts because of the scars that cover your legs.
And then you're sitting there at the dinner table with your family,
And they keep on telling you to eat,
But all you mutter is "I'm not hungry",
When you actually are.
You're starving but your image is worth more than a meal.
You eat a few bites just to shut them up,
And then run to the bathroom to rid yourself of it,
To make sure you can fit into those jeans,
The ones that could stand you losing another 5 pounds.
You get used to the lies of:
"I'm not hungry"
"I ate before I came"
And "oh yeah I'm fine, just tired".
Is that your lowest point,
When the only food you're feeding yourself is lies?

Look back through all our broken hopes,
Our love was everything,
You showed me the ropes,
And it lasted such a long time.
So why, oh why,
Would I abandon this coke-line?
Naive and no sting,
Really nothing to bring,
And I'll continue to sing.
But you know how I wait,
Millennium for fate,
Just to find,
It's too ******* late.
So I'll haul my *** up to the higher ground,
You may scream right up the hill,
But it won't make a sound.
We'll both move on and I won't turn around.
I'm running,
Running,
Running,
To the high road now.
So if it's alright I have to go.
Wish I could stay,
But we're done.
So now I have to go
Just leave me alone.
I wish I could stay,
But we're over,
I'm phased.
So I'll run,
And I'll never stop.

I still taste you,
You're traced on my teeth,
These shallow shadows peek in between.
Walk my fine lines,
Fall to a side,
Where I catch you with my lips,
Hands inside your hips.
You gasp when you realize,
Our hearts are cold as ice.
When I warm you up,
Maybe we won't mind.
We're young and confused,
If you win I lose it,
Let's just do it all again!
Look out for the sins we commit,
Your God abandoned me,
And if the shoe fits,
I might just need you,
You know ****-well why!
When we get tongue tied,
We waste their lives!
I won't live my life in their lies.
It's a dark reality,
Kiss you endlessly,
You're alone with me,
Abandoned by reason,
So why are our shirts on?
Extinguish our boredom!
Bite me if you like me!
I won't drop you,
Like my ****** knives,
Get down to your knees girl,
Celebrate a ***** world.
Tell me if you'll smite me,
Sink your fangs in,
Take me for a spin.
When you win,
I'll let you in.

Rotting in this wasteland,
Right where you painted me,
A picture perfect defacing,
Of burning kerosene!

Drop your lighter to the stone cold pebbles,
**** all of the spectral levels,
Wavering and never tame...

The only body I possess,
Desecrated by her majesty's insolence!
Her kingdom of soldiers,
Are forced to enlist!
The knighted sheep will fight!
The palace door's locked!
And why do you check the clock?
You know you'll never leave!
Her majesty is the ***** of living,
Yet she owns the only key!

The ******* behind you,
Captain your only ship!
Because of them you'll never know,
Your subjects fell to ****!
Bite back your pity,
While you bite off your own tongue!
Let the riots burn your city,
While singing my dying song!
May you ******* die!
Let you burn and die you ****!

And I will not be alone!
Doesn't matter when! Now and then!
Watching your heart turn to stone!
I'll let it go you you ******* end!

Her makes ties insolence kills the serpents dead!

I'm begging you end it!
End it!
Rise mup to your pennant!
The flag of the mighty will dawn over severance!
******* end it!
End it!
Rise up to your pennant!
The flag of those left to die,
Will fly for our solace again...
(End scream)

I'm begging you end it!
Just end it all now I repent it!
Will your dry pity allow?
I tried oh I tried!
I gave up and lied!
Her majesty shot through this unbeating heart of mine...
OH WHY?!

Why do I try?
I tried oh I tried, I gave up and lied!
Feel the bullets of sorrow pierce through this GOOD HEART OF MINE!!!
It's a song I wrote last night, but it works fairly well as a poem,
It's about really generic anarchy, and rebellion towards opposition. It wasn't about anyone in particular, but I hope it's inspiring.
