MasqueradeHidden faces all around...
No Identities shall be found
Music notes ignite like a flame
People dance with no shame
For with masks, faces are sealed
No fear that identities shall be revealed
For within a masquerade
All secrets shall be saved

WastelandQuestion marks
In all of the faces
A blank expression
And faraway gazes

Heads full of nothing
No hands raised up high
My teeth are clenched
While the hour drags by

I just cannot listen
To one word they say
More minutes are passing
I'm dreaming away

My brain feels too big
For my head is to small
Those hammering noises
They crawl down the hall

A voice calls me back
Too harsh and too loud
It presses repeat
Til I throw my thoughts out

Then go back on standby
Til the final bell rings
When I shrug it all off
And pack up my things

Deadly NothingnessThere is something missing,
Been shattered in the cold
The frost that's shed by bitter words
Has melted into mold

Spores are twisting slender stalks
Through barefoot soles
On nighttime walks

Fury burns, hate infects
Burning bridges, echoes shaped
Like twisted human wrecks
Flesh aches, hearts groan
Souls wither
while they watch and wonder

why I loath to walk alone

LiesHello you, Big Sweet Pot of Lies!
Historically given for our existence,
Mother of all success.
You did prove to be so generous.
But paths you offer are always dangerous,
power of you in wrong or clumsy hands
can be incorrigible.

Bite your tongue, close your mouth
if you don't know what you said.
Don't be one of them who chose
bitter end.

Hello you, Two Faced Monster!
Today you are my best friend,
you manipulate so I can say
something filthy about them.
Our secret groups we both hate.
But tomorrow you face goes black,
you twisted all sentences I made.
You shift your minds so you can
Whatever you need to get.

Hello you, A

I Fear LifeI do not fear death, I fear life.

More pain in living, life,

nothing more than an extended exit strategy.

Life, a means to an end.

Life, kept in place by bookends of non-existence.

Too many options, too many paths.

Love is fleeting, happiness never lasts....

A horrible day can feel like an eternity..

and life has too many days.

Death just happens....if you have a second.

Shards                                   Shards
    A memory can be like a shard of
    Broken glass.
    Jagged, serrated, burning sharply-
Tears.
An apocalyptic flood of tears.
They crunch underneath the soft flesh of your feet
Blood blooming,
The most forbidden of fruits.
    You know that you should sweep them up,
    Throw them away.
    But you can't, because
    They're all

You


Have


Left.

Ten Years From NowI will be married.
My father will be dead.
My mother will be crazy.
I'll finally be happy,
Living the life I want to live.

contradictory livingEscape what you love,
Run from what you hold,
Hide from what you search for,
Engage what you push away,
Try what you're afraid of,
Write in sounds,
Paint in tastes.
Live life a contradiction,
And question every minute of it,
Cause when you think one way,
And forget another,
How do you know what you think,
Is truer than what you don't notice?

Angel LightIt's dark this night
You're filled with fright
But everything will be alright
The moon is up
We can see
The darkness not a crushing thing
So walk with me
You'll be alright
Your hand in mine
You may find
The monsters know that you're divine
It's dark this night
The moon is bright
And everything will be alright

WitherCan hope like roses,
wither to dust.
When dreams are lost,
in nightmares maw?

The Rag Man ComesThe Rag Man comes, in tatters all,
The Rag Man comes, for great and small,
The Rag Man comes, so thin an tall,
The Rag Man comes.

His hair is greasy and its long,
he has a ragged top-hat on,
all in tatters is his suit
and full of holes is either boot.

The Rag Man comes, for you and me,
The Rag Man comes, o can you see,
The Rag Man comes, one, two, and three,
The Rag Man comes.

Look at those eyes, o how they shine,
his teeth, while black, are strong and fine,
and sharp they are, his nails are, too,
his spindly claws strike hard and true.

The Rag Man comes, quickly take flight,
The Rag Man comes, by dark of night,
The Rag Man

not for yousuch perfect little scars, aligning with the riptide, such perfect little scars, omitting no more than blood.

such fragile, despairing tears, falling from sheltered fears, such fragile, forsaking tears, with obscuring, bitter design.

such delicate emotions, goddamn delicate emotions, preconcieving notions, that you have no damn right to feel.

The NomadI am the nomad
The drifter
The gypsy
The traveler

I call nowhere home.
I never stay stationary
I travel alone

I bounce
From house to house
I sleep
From bed to couch

I have no place
I call my own
I wonder around
Lost and isolated

I long for a home
A place to hang my hat
A threshold
To stand behind

I don't want a house
I want a home.

Have You Ever Died?Have you ever died?
A knife sliced through the soul
A jagged hole where once lived a heart
A rivulet of blood trickles down
A dull throbbing pain
A pain that never goes away
No matter how many tears you cry
Have you ever died?

A Million Times.You could break my heart
A million times, and in a
Million dif'rent ways.

I'll still love you;
more than life itself.

MusicSubjective,
Love,
Hate,
And everything in-between.

Listening to music,
Is like therapy.
The lyrics speak,
We listen.
Class is in session.

As we listen,
We relate to the lyrics,
We fall in love with the songs.

This love will never let you down,
Music will always be there for you.
It will hold you late at night,
When you're crying your eyes out.
It will hold your hand,
When you're in love.
It will be your best friend,
When you are happy or sad.

Music,
It's everything.

I Want To Love YouI know I'm supposed to love you.
I know deep down I do.
I hope I do.

I don't like feeling this way about you,
But so often are you nasty to me.
I'm sick of taking your abuse.
I'm sick of feeling like I'm living the same day over and over.

I want to love you,
But you make it difficult.

I want to love you,
But that isn't my feelings in my heart.

I wish that you thought logically,
Like everyone else.
It makes me frustrated.
I just want you,
To realize what's happening to me.

I need you to give me more then just money.
I need the love that hasn't been provided,
For years.
I just feel alone.

I want to love you,
But I can't.

AbandonedI found love,
In other guys.
While you were preoccupied,
With your depression and sickness.
Mom was never around,
Because she was taking care of you.

You abandoned me.
You left me to fend for myself.
You left me fatherless.

I learned how to be alone.
I learned how to be independent.
I learned how to be fatherless.

You need to be persuaded.
You need to be put away.
You need to get better.

I've tried to persuade you.
I've tried to put you away.
I'm trying to help you get better.

You are so blind to the love you have.
To what you have abandoned.
That you are being selfish.

You cried when you couldn't be with us,
That first

Run AwayThere have been so many times,
I have just wanted life to stop.
For me to run away form this life.

You treat me like garbage,
And I don't know how to handle you anymore.
I want out.

If I died young,
Life for you would be the same.

If I died young,
You wouldn't mourn my passing.

If I died young,
You would keep living your life the way it is.

If I died young,
You wouldn't care.

I feel bad for you,
That you're like this.
It's pathetic.

One of the few people that care about you,
You push away,
And could care less.

So if I died young,
You wouldn't notice.

TrustDoes it have a meaning anymore?
Can anyone just be honest anymore?

I'm not saying I'm innocent.
I have committed the crime.
But I don't lie like you did.
Or like you.

It's incredible how people,
Can just lie through their teeth.
Saying,
Oh I don't have time for you.
Or,
Not saying something,
That could be crucial to the future.

I would have rather you told me,
And saved me the pain.
I don't like hearing things from other people.
So now you've fucked up,
And I want nothing to do with you.

So have fun,
Fucking with every person you end up loving,
Or that ends up loving you.
Because most people wont put up,
With your bullsh

It Was ThereIt was there on the beach when it first happened.
We buried our feet in the sand,
And made our footprints there.

It was in your car,
When we said 'I love you'
That we made footprints in each other's hearts.

It was there in the restaurant,
Where you asked me to marry you,
And we made our footprints into our new life.

It was there in the baby book,
Where we took our child's foot,
And made a footprint to forever cherish.

It was there at graduation,
Where we realized our child was growing up,
And making their own footprint in the world.

It was there in our old age,
When we realized our lives were fulfilled,
We made our footprints

Dreams

by ~LovingDestiny, Dec 20, 2012, 10:31:07 AM
Literature / Poetry / General Poetry / Free Verse

To dream is a dangerous thing.
It puts assumptions into our heads.
They encourage us to get hurt.
They break hearts.

I've realized that people don't break hearts.
Our dreams do.
We expect things,
And they don't come true.
Who do we blame?
We blame people,
When in reality we should blame ourselves,
For expecting things that will never happen.

It's not my fault,
Or your fault,
For these dreams.
But dreaming is better than reality.
And we just want our dreams to come true.
