as far as they could go, fingers taught

I looked at her, eyes smiling
and asked, "Only that much?"
"That's all there is." She replied.
And I agreed,
"Vast oceans can not compare our our love,
little bird."

I knew my wish
I needed luck,
I cast my line

And hoped you'd bite
So we could be.<3

The ringmaster stands at the centre of a circle made of candy canes arranged like a centrifuge around him. His audience is one broken whistle - broken in the way that it can only make low pitches, a necklace without its pendant, and forget-me-nots that have been forgotten weeks before. None of them pay any attention to his ostentatious speech. It's the same every time.

The tightrope-walker has been spending too much time in the funhouse with the warped mirrors and has developed some odd way of thinking - she, a slim sprite in glitter hurricanes, seems to think she's an elephant in sparkling

Remembrance Day originates at the end of World War I. The idea is to honor those who died in the line of duty, defending their country from enemies. For all its pompous words and fancy granite memorials littered with colorful flower bouquets, Remembrance Day and others like it have failed miserably in achieving this goal.
I've often been criticized as having no respect, and that can be an impediment when discussing certain topics. However, I am often in luck – hypocrisy deserves no respect. What changed as a result of the enormous sacrifice of those who died in WW1? As the first bombs of WW2 fell just two decades later, millions once a

Why does this all seem new to her?
This drug, this life saver, this feeling
Everyone calls love.
She's fallen into it, out of it,
So many times, it's like a routine:
Fall in love,
Get her heart smashed to pieces,
Or, even worse,
Break a heart,
And feel the guilt of it resting in the back of her mind.
All this experience,
This pain,
Yet this feels oh- so- different this time,
As if talking to him makes her feel at peace,
Away from the worry, the pain, the stress…
It's a feeling she's never had before,
And she loves every second of it.
How strange is it that her heart skips a beat when he compliments her?

Dear Louis Tomlinson.
Other girls say they adore you,
Others say that they care,
Others say you're beautiful,
Other say you're theirs,
Others say you're cute,
Others like your hair.
But I am the exception,
the stand-out in the crowd.
For you alone,
Are my angel,
Sent from God himself,
Down from heaven.
We were meant to share,
memories,
past,
exes,
laughs,
poems,
stories,
pictures,

Shakespeare,
music,

we shall have the freedom of doves
as we share our unconditional, irrevocable love.
For you alone,
Are my angel sent from heaven above.

An Angel,
An Angel on this Field of Ice,
Notices,
I hesitantly step on this,
Field of Ice.
This surface of ice,
It is but the most slippery,
And Daunting
Field of ice.
I try moving slowly,
On this surface of ice,
But my Crooked skates,
Knock me off balance.
As I start to fall,
For the very first time,
I accept help,
And In no time,
A hand catches me within the fall,
She catches me from my misery,
And helps me escape the pain,
From this,
Field Of Ice.
She then,
With the sweetest voice,
Asks me,"Are you OK?",
Even though I seem afraid,
I nod aimlessly,
While I reach for her fragile hand,

An invisible canvas covered my surroundings.
A celestial backdrop coated with toxic gasses transformed into ultimate beauty.
Reaching towards the nearest star,
I realized there was no way I could feel the particles,
Or the glitter of what I've seen on Earth.
Perhaps I can be a part of what lovers compare their eyes to.
Maybe they'll notice the brightest wonder of them all is what I'll expose myself to.
I push off the shuttle and release the safety rope,
Ignoring the other's screams and cries of panic.
Taking off my helmet,
I am what I've always wanted to be:
A star.

folding paper cranes with broken fingers,
wishing to see northern lights in the eyes of strangers.
There are no lions between your bed sheets
who understand your hunger better than I-
You are licking my wounds; one with the wild.
I swear it's you behind these eyelids- untamed
and desired by this lonely poetic canvas
stained with blood, ink, and words I can't fucking say.
You look like a Goddess standing there reading my skin
quiet and shameless, proud of the gaping hole in my chest.
I know it then, like I know my own counterclockwise heart;
I should never trust my own kind.

Sample Of Lost L***Knowing aching pain,Sample Of Lost L***11 months ago in Urban & Spoken Word More Like This
The kind that accompanies emptiness.
Like when a song loses meaning,
Or when kissing loses feeling.
Four letter word now spoken,
Just like healing,
Make you feel less broken.
Then your heart goes reeling,
Carry that l*** just like a token.
Makes you remember why you're alive,
and why you don't give up.
"No longer in l***," no that won't be us.
We can hold it up.
But when that word dies,
The dull pain arises,
Like when a song loses meaning,
Or when kissing loses feeling.

just throw it
out the window let it
land on your head like waterballoons.
Open me up
and let the insides out because
I'm tired of being afraid to feel.
I want
your autum red hair and
your song, to be mine.
I want to listen to you cry too,
happiness
Make you pay for this pain by splitting
your heart down the middle
in horrible, irreversible, earth-shattering

Do you still want me?
Or this shell of what I used to be,
with a different soul inside of me.
Am I who you really see?
Can I still be what you always saw,
and loved for some crazy reason?
I don't want to be her,
I don't want to lose you to her,
I want to keep you here,
You can have my heart.
Throw away the key,
with you is where I want it to be,
just don't go away from me.
Please.

you're always there.
When the darkest tunnels leave me lost,
you're the light to escape my despair.
When the odds aren't in my favor,
you're my lucky dice.
We don't need a book to write how we feel,
books wouldn't be long enough.
The stars are too few to count,
the amount of love I have for you.
When the world slowly goes to hell,
you'll be at my side.
You and I,

I'm breaking apart, from all of your seams.
You'll chase me down, but I won't hide.
You'll say that you need me, but I'm not your home.
I'm a stone in a river, I'm my support.
I'm going alone, without all your chains.
You'll want my pain, but I'm immune.
You'll flick your whip, but I'm out of reach.
I'm walking away, your pain can't touch me.
I'm done with your shit, don't even think about calling me.

Hiding beneath the bleachers
Sipping an ice cold drink
She stares.
Silent lips around the straw
She watches the world go by
The cheerleaders laughing
The players heaving.
Her breath calm, steady
Blinking slowly and wisely
She watches
Smirking to herself.
The last of the drink gone
She stands up and walks
Out to the parking lot
Where she is Miss Invisible.

I feel sick
I've never felt my tears
Run so thick.
Why did you have to tell me
All of those things
If you were just going to say goodbye
And not act like it stings.
Inside I'm broken
Every part shattered
You looked me in the eyes
Like nothing else mattered.
You say you felt something
What happened to that
Because if you really did
You wouldn't have left
I know that for a fact.

It gives you false hope

It's an ugly truth

beckoning the cries

It gives you real fear
throwing you into the dark
driving you insane
calling your name.

All we'll be.
Is shattered dreams.
And broken memories.
We were happy once.
We believed in things.
Now that that's gone.
Every thought stings.
We try and try.
To be just fine.
But secretly, deep down.
All we do is cry.
All we want.
Is to know what love is.
To worship the feeling.
Not to have this.
I can't believe it's gone.
I can't believe I don't try.
But all I can do is think.
And that always makes me cry.
