as I sit in space
I feel the world turn
but I still can't erase
the feelings you left in me

my heart beats hold onto time
hoping for something to change
something to call mine
but after you nothings the same

and it makes me wonder...

when angels fall
and land ******* the earth
do they know what they've lost
that they had it all
because
when I was with you
I felt the inside of heaven
but it was torn from my heart
so now what can I do
after I've felt heaven through you

now that I'm all alone
no one left to hurt
the greatest love I've known
is suddenly so far away

all the roses turn grey
and winter clings to my skin
I think back to the day
when I last felt your lips against mine

and it makes me wonder...
when angels fall
and land ******* the earth
do they know what they've lost
that they had it all
because
when I was with you
I felt the inside of heaven
but it was torn from my heart
so now what can I do
after I've felt heaven through you

After the broken lay in ruin
I would have rather not
For what was once a thriving city
was now an empty lot

the carnage lay about for days
until it withered past
but sorrow so it would have seemed
would never cease to last

with solemn tears upon the ground
I mourned my fallen friends
crying out the names of those
who met such sudden ends

I carry on from that day
with scars across my heart
for I, I took on her
and she tore me apart
I wrote this poem as it is now when I was 14 years old

I watch two lovers alone in a crowd,
Their breath holds each other softly.

One exhale,
Cool on the skin of my lips.

Your words melt in my hands,
And water the grass at my feet,

That grows green with the thought of you.
For we long for the memory of your touch.

I would die each night beside you,
To see tears stain your parchment cheeks,

Each tear luminous and fleeting,
Never will anything so valuable fall for me.

I breath life in,
Hoping for nothing more than a chance.

And only wishing I could offer you more
Than such a little death

Every Sunday they would play, dancing on water,
Skidding across the ripples, and climbing up together
Two skiers fall in love, I for her,

And she for another, a friend to both.
Coveting what we wished was ours.
Idly on the shore I stood

Where The water cooled my feet
Watching how she watched,
how she chased

with a smile, I'd have given anything to make.
When the object of her eye, fell
Hard into angels' arms,

And nineteen turns around the sun
Was all that he would have
She cried, and her tears broke my heart

We both lost a friend that day,
But what hurt me most
Was how I knew she'd have never cried like that

If it had been me who fell
And so inside I said, I wish I could have traded fates
So for once I'd have made her smile stay
I'd love feedback

Your sticky and moist on my fingertips,
I pull you apart to push to my lips.
My tongue follows the folds of your skin,
Becoming light as I hold you in.

Dancing with you burns my desire,
Bringing me close as you hold onto fire.
I Taste you as I exhale so slow,
I feel your touch as you come and go.

Rolling my fingers over your paper skin.
Holding you close as I breath you in.
I pull on you for one final kiss,
Searching in you for something I miss.

Returning again and again to **** the pain,
Just me, myself and MaryJane.
A modified sonnet

Before I leave,
Tell me one thing, I need to know,
Could we have ever been together?

Just another night or whatever
Never have I felt so low,
Before I leave.

Like a ribbon destined to be severed,
Were we ever meant to know,
Could we have ever been together?

All the lies you told impassioned fervor
A ***** in sheep's clothes,
Leading me to leave.

Naked is all of you before your lover,
**** you were but naked no,
Were we ever meant to be together?

From the subtle quivers of my heart,
Down inside I know.
We could never be together,
So away must I go...
