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

Mirror, mirrorMirror, mirror
Who do you see?
Because the person in there
Is not me

Mirror, mirror
Who is she?
That beautiful person
I see in thee

Mirror, mirror
Who do you show?
That strong person
With unique glow

Mirror, mirror
Who is she?
That special person
That stands before me?

They don't understand

They don't understand

They don't understand the fear we live in all year.
They don't get the fact life isn't all good, there are tears.
I don't blame them, even I find it hard to be fair.
But seeing my girl every day, going through the same shit.
Makes me feel pain she feels, but only a fraction of it.
Ten times worst for her, because she's in the centre of it.

Hopeless soul she doesn't know where to go,
Stumble across me, walking down this lonely road.
At first I was like them, I didn't understand.
How does hurting helps you like no-one can?
When love fails just get out that razor sharp knife.
Forget all else, pain brings blissf

Just to FeelI would cut
just to feel the pain
just to know
that my life was worth it

Every inch on my arm
every inch on my leg
I would cut
just to feel the pain deep inside

To watch the blood pour down
to cry in happiness
I would cut
just to know that I still feel

Cutting my skin
burning it completely
I would suffer in agony
just to see if I still feel

Every scar that is there
every inch that I cut
it just proves
how much my life was worth it

I would cut
just to feel the pain
to know that Im still alive
to know that I still feel

Feeling of pain
feeling of torture
I would cut
to know that I still feel
In this world...

Veterans DayListen for the clink of dog tags
A telltale limp
A scar upon their smiling face

Look for the look in their eyes
The smile on their lips that hides raging wars
See the respect they carry
The humble air about them
The big heart nestled within their chest

Look for the strict passion
The uniform proficiency
Look for the red white and blue
The firm confident grip of their handshake

One of the only ones that stay standing in the crowd,
when the flag comes out and up
Giving a right handed salute
Or a hand above their heart
Their hats off

They went over to fight,
whether it be the war of yesterday
Or of decades ago
The end answer is clear

They

I just need your loveLet me speak out loud
Let me show you the words inside of me
Let me tell you how I feel
I know it was wrong
I made a mistake
It didn't last for long

I just need a moment of your time
I don't need your advice
I don't need you to order me
Or shout at me
I just need your love

Let me tell you
What really happened
Let me make it clear for you
It didn't mean a thing
It wasn't even a fling
I just fell and he caught me

I just need your love

I just need a moment of your time
I don't need your advice
I don't need you to order me
Or shout at me
I just need your love

So tell me
Will you give it to me
Will you share your love with

EscapeEvery day,
Every night,
You're taken advantage of.
Manipulated every step.

Like a stringed mannequin,
You move when you are told.
Walk where your master directs,
Never missing a beat.

The life you live
Is not of your own.
You live what people want you to,
But this ends now.

I'm here
With the scissors
To cut the strings
And set you free.

I've stolen the key
To open your cage.
And I can see
It's rusted with age.

Will it still fit?
If it does,
Will you come?

Come with me,
To escape this tragedy?

Take Me Away to MarsSometimes, when I feel down,
I look at this city sky
trying to see the stars.
The vastness confirms that
no, I don't belong here.
Please, take me away to Mars.

No one there to call my name,
give me unwanted advice,
or try to live my life for me.
I close my eyes, and imagine
the silence, the empty space,
perfect place to be free.

An atmosphere so grey,
we can't trust anyone.
Another planet? It's not that far!
I've already packed my stuff.
Take me away from this big, bad world,
and agree to take me to Mars.

And so it isYou and me
Were (made for) lightning and laughter
In a crackling summer
Quick and crisp
Mischievous misfits
Sending hot hopes
In columns of smoke
And bonfire breaths
Your hand
And
My hand
Fit together like glue
And anything that sticks to glue
Not meant to be
But somehow it doesn't matter
(we found each other anyways)

And beginnings are easy
It's saying
Goodbye
(please,
please don't forget me)
That makes our strong bodies ache
And our lion hearts tremble
And makes me think
How autumn is a funny time of year because
I can never imagine what it's like
Until I'm right in the middle of it
Like wading through
A half-fo

Regret and EnvyRealizing that
Everything you've done has
Gone wrong,
Realizing that
Everything you wanted
To say was left unspoken

And there's
Nothing you can
Do about it.

Everyone else
Needs only one try, though there are
Varying results between
You and them

A Secret MessageI'm asleep
Tonight

Is the the dark cooler
So it can calm us?

Now the sun rises
On the horizon
Turning shadows to dust.

Somehow,
After everything
Finding peace is
Easier
.

Running thoughts circle
Under my mind,
Now on the tip of my tongue

Where do thoughts come from?
How are they formed?
Information materializes out of thin air
Like magic,
Even though it's not needed.

Young children ask questions,
Only then do they feel safe
Under these circumstances.

Children should be calm.
Adults should be, too.
Now, everything is okay.
.

An Apology For Not Being What Is ExpectedI apologize
For not living up
To your standards.

You had hoped
For a perfect daughter,
A perfect life.

I showed potential,
Brilliant from the start
Beautiful since the beginning.

But the brilliance faded
And cracked
And was hidden deep inside my mind.

The beauty faded as well,
With crooked yellow teeth
That just won't whiten,
Acne that won't go away,
Little imperfections you hate.

I used to do
What you asked
Without a second thought

And now I cry
At practically everything
You say.

You don't know me
Anymore.
You don't know the thoughts
That rage through my mind
And leave trails of guilt
And insanity.

You stab a kni

Beside MeThere I wake up
And you're there with me.
I'm not feeling well
And I want to sleep
But you help me up.

You make me feel better
Because you care for me.
I look a mess
But you don't care.
You still think I'm beautiful.

We go to the computer,
My new residence,
And I look for the guy I yearn.
Still nothing.
But I have you.

Perhaps that's all I need.

See. Soul. Vinyl.The mentoring of a child
Believe into future
Forgotten about her past
The needle pats her
She moans

Her rebirth ignites
A new era
and she's on the frontline
The delicate touch
Mirroring her scars

She has many
Many past lives
Yet she relives
Everytime...
Everytime..

Everytime the needle touches her
She is slim
skinny at most
she is played by needles
but she is still
And always
She is my Vinyl
Recorded all that I love

Here We AreI need support,
To know I'm safe and sound.

So hold my hand,
Before my heart hits the ground.

Pain and sorrow,
That's all I have found.

A world of beauty,
Filled with a cold surround.

Hold my hand,
As we listen to a beautiful sound.

Just hold my hand,
Until we've made it through.

Hold my hand,
Because I only want to be with you.

Through all the loneliness and pain,
You kept my mind thinking true.

So here we are,
Hold my hand,
Enjoy the view.

SparksI remember,
The first time we kissed.
It was magical.
It was how people described it would happen in movies.
It was fireworks,
In my heart,
In my stomach,
In my mind,
In every inch of my body.
I'll never forget how you kissed me.
From the first time,
Till the last.
I guess you could say,
It was my fairytale coming true.
Its too bad it didn't last.
But I loved every second of it.

You've Both FailedAs my parents,
You've both failed.
For this reason,
You should be jailed.
Instead I'm the one that's in prison,
But that wasn't my decision,
And you left me heartbroken.
The police came,
But they couldn't take you away.
Justice isn't fair,
That's all I can say.
The law protects the sick and insane.
While the innocent suffer,
And live with the pain.
The police said that even a homeless man,
Had more dignity and hope,
Than you do.
And mom just told them that,
Everything was fine that she'd take care of you,
Her favourite line.
But they saw that you both were over the brink,
No matter what you say,
No matter what you think.

Crying For HelpHave you ever looked back on something,
And realized how much you've grown?
Have you ever looked back on something,
And still feel the same way you did then?
Even after years and years?

She feels lost,
Immature,
And sixteen again.
She wants to puke.
She wants to cry.
She wants to crack her skull open.

Those feelings she had for you,
They were so real.
They still affect her till today.

You said awful things.
You crushed her self-esteem.
You don't know how much you broke her.
You acted like her father,
And God knows that title is equivalent to the Devil.

She let you in,
She told you her secrets.
She thought you would unders

I Want To Love You

by ~LovingDestiny, Oct 13, 2012, 9:55:49 AM
Literature / Poetry / Emotional / Free Verse

I 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.
I hate you.
