You think these words are sad
I say they are filled with hope
Read between the lines
Finding the lost love
An etch-e-sketch of memories
You say it hurts to hear you cry
I say its just how I get bye
A preparation of a new dawn
How cant you see this is a song
You say I am broken hearted
On this we can agree
But its my heart so leave it to me
I do not walk alone
Though you try to see my path
I tell you in vain
That you must journey back
Turn around and trace your steps
Before the markings fade
I know this trail
It leads to peace
But turn around please
I must walk without you
A journey of a heart
You say I will die on my own
I say is okay I was never alone
I have my God and my soul
And that's enough to keep me whole
We all feel something to an extreme
Some more numb that others
Or at least that's what we make
The world believe
A hollow shell
Grass in the wind
Blown away to the edge
A simple step to the ledge
I cant see the bottom
Oh what a long drop
If I fell
Would I be able to stop
You say don't let go of my hand
But that's the only way you will understand
Letting go is part of life
But how you chose to do it
Will withhold your sleep tonight

I climb the stairs
To destruction
No rail on either side
A sheer precipice
To merely let me fall
I catch my breath
And close my eyes
I climb the stairs
To the skies
Like walking a plank
To murderous waters
Shaky steps
To a end
The means of life
I was denied
Through it all
I still tried
But waters rise
And steps crumble
And who will catch me
When I stumble

The past will last longer than tomorrow

I am choking on the air that is to thick to breathe
Crying through the fears trying just to see
The light at the end of the hall
I try to walk but stumble and fall
Just another trip down memory lane
Reliving all the pain

"Pain demands to be felt"

"Okay?"

The more roads we build
The more cliffs there are
The more cliffs there are
The more we can fall
The more the fall the farther we go
The farther we go the harder it is to come back

Just another day on the other side
I travel here so quickly
I have nothing to hide

Chalk lines, drawn by children
Voices from the school yard
Dogs bark, you run
Feet pound pavement hard
Barefoot toes, wind blown hair
Sharp glass on the ground
Careless when I step
Careful not to make a sound
You chase me, like prey
Trying not to trip
I run fast, get away
I must be silent and never slip
Your hands rough around my waist
Cauaught in your trap
Rest your hand on my shoulder
I can't look back
Choking on the tears
My throat constricts
You ask me questions
I merely nod
Pull me away from my safe place
To your home so desolate
I am gone without a trace
I lay in the leaves of this falls birth
Seeing only the red stained leaves
Trying not to panic for all I'm worth
Don't run or hide, stay alive
I can't wait for it to end
What will you do
What will the darkness send
Uncertain future, my demise
A chase after a valued prize
I could see the lies
Beside the evil in your eyes

The lines on your face
Are a puzzlement
Who put them there
Or is it just sentiment

The gray in your hair
Wasn't always there
Who painted them
Are they from a friend

The limp in your step
Is not a threat
Its a gentle age
Like a mark on a page

Wishing I knew how fast the stars fly
Across the glass strewn sky

Falling in love with a poet
Is like drowning with a lifejacket
As soon as you think you are done
They pull you back up to the surface
The water still fills your lungs
But they breathe life into you
Pull to a desolate shore
And begin to write in soulful lore

Falling in love with an artist
Is like being a canvas
They will see your beauty and flaws equally
But cover them with layers of love stroked gracefully
Its gentle strokes of teeth marked brushes
Words shouted and rough touches
Its the masterpiece slowly unveiled
A piece of beauty on a bigger scale

Falling in love with a singer
Is learning how to win her
Never break her shattered heart
Just to hold her from the start
To know the lines in her face
How she walks and takes each pace
The sway of hips and a rhythmic pattern
The love of the taciturn

When words say little
And emotions run high
But they love we hold
Will never run dry

You only remember what matters to your heart

to much tomorrow to deal with today

To bad I cant write words that will last
Or even be long remembered
Like a fading flower falling to the ground
Are the cries from my lips
A path that ends after one last bend

Take your deceit a different way

The worst word I ever heard was goodbye
The day you walked away and all I did was cry
The emotions boiled over loaded
But this love was sugar coated
The worst word I ever heard was goodbye
The words I knew from your lips were lies
And I felt inside like it was over
The worst word I ever heard was goodbye

The words I fanaticize falling from your lips
Small syllables raining in drips
Silent correspondence of mouth-less words
Ever present chirping of cheerful birds

Blushing cheeks of ****** roses
Statues moving stone faced poses
A fountain of watered down lies
The despair of love and betrayal in your eyes

If these lips only spoke true
Would they still belong to you
Hands so delicate around a waist
Would very quickly be replaced

Your gentle eyes a stony gaze
Another falsehood you have betrayed
A starring contest between three sinners
But there can only be two winners

A puzzlement of a blind nature
Left by a dead betrayer
The six feet of barren ground
Over head and all around

Lips preserved for deaths kiss
You had but one wish
A waterlogged fate aboard a sinking ship
A rope of faith, fate gave you a trip

The ebbing flow of ceaseless tides
Made by tears of loving brides
An isle walk to a dessert shore
Trying to find what they are looking for

Simple conundrum of upper class
The poor stare as they pass
The winds icy breath down a back
A snowy day turned chimney black

Lines of a poem soon forgotten
A single apple bit into and rotten
The sour grape in a bunch
Just one bite a single munch

Artists with no inspiration
A flower of a past reincarnation
Lost words of ancient hymns
Seeking for a riddle within

Words of soft spoken encouragement
A place you went where I was sent
A trip down memory lane
The words you speak drive me insane

a telepathic symphony drowning in waves of song

If my voice was as loud as my heart would you hear it?

So close to my heart
But just out of reach
A fingertips away
A wall I cant breach
This door that opens
Only from the inside
Open it now
Spread the gates wide

I will see the sun
Before it rains
Or the clouds die

I refuse to let go
Of the dark cliff
Before the sun rises

If my heart were lighter then my wings wouldn't have to work so heard
My broken arms are bent in exhausted unnatural formations
The lines on my face are deep etched scars
And the heaviness in my steps leave a sodden trail
The tears from my eyes are heavy drops of lead
My shoulders slumped in defeat of this life
A tired neck arched to a delicate broken brow
An accursed face with no joy only sorrow
Just another moonbeam waiting for tomorrow

There is a twisted story of a broken artist
She wants to paint where her heart is
One delicate female skin
Make the brush dig deep within
Intricate ungentle lines
Slowly woven over time
Long and short deadly strokes
Painful enough to choke
Red drops so deep and dark
From the flesh torn apart
A monster within a human shell
Who would have thought you would tell
A secret to be kept alive
A way to live and way to thrive

If my heart stopped beating
Would your lungs stop breathing?
If I wasn't here
Would you even care?
If I broken my leg
Would you carry me instead?
If I kissed another man
Would that be something you can stand?
If I gave you my heart
Would you make it start?
If I died today
Would you pick me flowers everyday?
If I knew your name
Would you be the same?
If my casket cracked
Would you fill the crooked gap?
If my soul were yours
Would you be its core?
If my arms were within reach
Would you try to breach?
If I could love in this life
Would you pay love's final price?

Every couple hours I forget how to breathe

Your coming home
I'll see your face
I missed you more than the sun
I always knew you were the one
Let the rain wash away
All the pain of yesterday
I know a heartbreak awaits
But I've forgiven your mistakes
You coming home
Your coming home
I'll kiss your face
I miss your more than the stars
Cuz you sparkle so afar
Your coming home
And my heart wont be alone

Stick to poems they never bite you in the back
Stick to the light and never look back

Step 1: Rise like the moon beams from under the clouds

Step 2: Lift your feet like gentle voices raised loud

Step 3: Rest your hands like soft gentle dreams

Step 4: Turn like the sun at its peak

Step 5: And whisk away the fear you seek

I wish I knew what to say
But my heart gets in the way
A sensitive un-human soul
But being nice isn't my goal
Just a realistic sentimental sort
I don't play hearts like a sport
If I say I love you it is not lie
I just don't want to say it so close to goodbye
Never know which way to turn
But always knowing which finger to burn
Never understanding pain
But watching you walk away drives me insane
I can be called a sappy ****
But you know you love my ****
Not just my body but my mind
Is what keeps you entwined
If you could see my soul
You would never let me go
Cuz the stars in your eyes are mirrored in mine
And the truth in your lies are a happy demise
Just a phone call away from a happy time
Take a number and get in line

There is no guarantee that this life is easy

Nothing last forever in a world so broken

In my purse I have a picture
Of my little sister
She was so sweet an innocent
I imagine my Mom has a picture of me
That looks like I am innocent to
But that would be a lie
Of a false kind
Because I know this world
And the secrets that it hides
Not so long ago
I met a boy
Who was the first
Not to treat me like a toy
He placed my heart in cage
So it would not shatter
Building up the walls of a castle
So we could play inside
He made me feel safe
Like a warm hug
And I knew that God has sent him
From his kingdom above
I loved this boy
And he loved me
But love isn't anything like they make it out to be
Its a lot harder to love than I thought
But its all worth it
We never gave up
Through thick or thin
And when he knocked on my door
I always let him in
I told him my secrets
And how to calm my heart
And he held it in his hands
So it wouldn't fall apart
He never let me go
And never let me fall
And to this day I love him
Even though he drives me up the walls

If I could write on your heart I'd engrave a soul

If I could name your steps
I would call them sweet destruction
There wake is painful as a crashing wave
And there is none left be to save
Your heavy steps fade away
But the pounding in my head only rises
And the ache of my heart is the beat of the world
My very breathe is frosted and cooled on stone hearts
But sweet destruction I blame you for walking away

Is it a sin to let love go unnourished?

I can vent my soul in words but it still hurts

Ever know a girl?
Beautiful and happy
But she tells a story
That is really sappy
It seems kinda fake
And you just shake
Your sorry head
And go alone instead
Its cause she's lying
But her head is trying
To keep above the waves
And away from the pain
And she cant tell you
Whats really making her blue
Cause if she did you would cry
And she wouldn't make it bye

If Jesus came back I'd be the only one he left
If the clouds parted I'd still be in the dark
Behind the shadows of forgot times
Just another face in between the lines
If the seas rose and the sky fell
I would shrug my shoulders and sigh oh well
I could simply sit and wait for a new world
Like the one I live in cold and forgotten
If the stars shone in your eyes
I could lie back and not see the picture
If I were a puzzle and you the last piece
I'd rather run away than have you stay
I hate this lonely life but wouldn't want it any other way
Cuz if you asked me, I'd say go away
I'll face the world alone
With no one by my side
I'll take the challenges
And bare the stripes on my hide
I'll die happily
As long as I keep my pride

Mommy stop it
Just go away
Be like the rain clouds
And come back another day
You are never there
When I need you most
Just stop talking
And close your mouth
Its raining its pouring
But your love is boring
I walked away and I'm not coming back
Just figure it out, that thing you lack

I wish my Mother loved me
Like in those stories
I wish my Mother knew
What I've been through

I wish my words could sing to your soul
And these lines to pierce your heart
Of atleast they would hold your attention
And love your memory
Because from one heart to another
A kiss upon the cheek
I don't know what to write
That's why I cry at your feet

I remember you and your devilish smile
All the night we stayed up and talked
All the hours in the morning when we cried
I remember your smile how it grew and when it faded
I can see you in my head
But I wish you were with me instead
The thought of you in anothers arms
All but breaks my heart
But I don't have to worry
Cause you loved me from the start
But if I were a poet I would soon forget
How to write the lines like the ones on your hands
The ones that held mine and kept me warm
Then ones my parents grasped as we were torn
But its okay the know see the light
And we can be silent through the night
The day will come when I don't have to remember
But that is far off a distant November

I remember you and the light in your eyes
I remember you among all the other guys

Blue is the color of the happy sky
Black is the night as it slowly passes bye
Yellow are the smiles that push up from the ground
Brown are the memories that chase me like a hound
Purple are the sunsets filled with lies
Green are the beauty in your eyes
Pink is ignorance I proudly displayed
Gray is the face of the sky today
Orange is the footprints you leave in your wake
Red is the blood from my wrists you take

You asked me what I am
I said I am a human

But if you would have dug deeper
Into your dusty brain
And asked a better question
One that wasn't lame

If your lips had posed the question
Who are you?
I would have started with the simple
I am a girl of the female sort
I love to fly it is my favorite sport
If you knew my past
And how long my loves last
You would wonder how
The stars contained such majesty

But you didn't
So you think that I am just **me

If I could chose to fall in love
I would not choose to fall in love you
Because falling hurts
I would simply love you
With all that I am
Because without you
I am dessert
Dry empty and barren
Wreaking havoc when the winds blow
Because I cannot chose in my right mind
To ever let someone like you go

If a glass bottle rolled up on my island I would sent it back
Its is nothing but a *****, filthy trap
