To burst and release the pain
and tears contained inside
But still is has to stay strong.
Strong enough to force a smile
Strong enough to face the one
Who shattered it in the first place.
And when the heart can't take no more
When the pieces lay on the floor
And the blood runs dry
The question left is "Why?"

and to be safe I lock it, too.
What is the "Do Not Disturb" here for
Why do I isolate from you?
You possibly don't understand
Why I am in my own Neverland
Do not worry, I am fine
In this little world of mine
Do not worry, I'm alright
I'll be back, that I plight
But still you knock on my door
Become uninvited guests of mine
Ask: "What's this 'Do Not Disturb' for?"
Pionting at my self made sign
Yes, I see you can't understand
Your reality I can't withstand
Don't you worry, I am fine
In this little world of mine
Don't you worry, I'm alright
I'll come back, that I plight
Do not disturb, I am fine

and you wish that you weren't here
Anymore, no part of this world, of this life
You're trapped in darkness and the way out
Of it is death, there's no doubt
But the alluring whispers of the sharp knife
When you drive in your car down the road
You dream of your last abode
And your eyes search for a tree to crash into
Every bridge's a chance to jump down
Each river tempts you to drown
In it, you climb high buildings not for the view
How can I make you stay here with me
When you try so hard to flee
From life's pain and the darkness and the sorrow?
Still I'm begging at your feet to stay
Not to

Obituary Of A FriendshipAfter all this time we finally meet again.Obituary Of A Friendship4 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
I'm excited to hear how you've been, my friend.
But when you start to talk I start to abstain.
While I smile, secretly I wish for this to end.
We're thrown back into a time that ended long ago.
What we had in common does not matter anymore.
Again you want a shoulder so you can have a good cry.
I am diplomatic though I sense this friendship does die.
About all the tragedies that happend to you I shall know
While I cannot tell you why my smile becomes so sore.
I am really sorry that things have come to this.
We used to be good friends but we both have changed.
I treasure what we had, but yo

Winter BluesA blanket fallen from the cloudsWinter Blues5 months ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
Covers the land as snow falls down,
So white, white as a wedding gown,
White, white as the burial shrouds.
The firs wear coats made of snow,
The solemn silence like mist soars
To mountain tops from valley floors,
Silence of graves does follow.
Lonely cart tracks slowly fade,
Now they only lead to nowhere,
Their origin is no longer there,
Soon they are but a white shade
A blanket fallen from the sky
Covers the peaceful land below
With the innocently white snow
Comes the cold that lets us die.

Dance With MeCan you teach me how to danceDance With Me4 months ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
Show me each step and stance?
I want to dance with you away
Into a brighter day
Let us waltz across the room
Just like we're bride and groom
Let us dance over the sea
Across the stars and moonbeams
Let us sway into the night
Where we're painted in silver light
Let us dance through the fire
As we make a path of desire
Let us sway into the stars
A tango set us free from pain
And samba brings us throu the rain
Let us dance until the end
Forever I'll hold your hand
The only rythm that we need
is your steady heart beat
The songs of love only we hear

Death is knockingDeath knocks at my door.Death is knocking6 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
I pretend I'm not around,
Hoping he would leave.
But he's just the messenger
For the mourning yet to come
Death keeps on knocking.
There is no way to fool him.
He knows my place well.
No matter where I move to,
He never fails finding me
Death is still knocking.
I give in, open the door.
"It's been quite a while."
He's acting like an old friend
While he tells who died this time.

Frightful MeetingShe ran into the woods aloneFrightful Meeting6 months ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
Until she reached an ancient stone
A forgotten giant's ashen bone
Overgrown by moss and firs
Where there was the love of hers
But not joy guided her today
Not happiness showed her the way
As rain fell from a sky led gray
Saltwater ran down her face
When she reached their meeting place
Adorned with a ruby red stain
A body awaited her slain
Causing such unbearable pain
Whom she'd given her heart to
Now had his own cut in two
Jelousy, the bitter passion
This cruel scenery did fashion
Where he ended up as ashen
and cold as the stone and sky
Made the loved girl want to die

Collaboration: Ballad Of A FoolIn a cave deep and forgotten longCollaboration: Ballad Of A Fool4 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
There's a lake, no light ever reaches its ground.
There lays an ancient sword
Taking no pity from Time's malice
but don't be fooled and don't assume
The weapon lays there by mistake
Time just changed its prison's look.
Around this weapon lay scorching flames
Claiming the lives of foolish adventures
While tainting its walls a crimson maroon
Can you hear the ancient screams
still echoing from wall to wall?
can you hear the whispering
Of souls damned for all eternity?
One day, there came a new fool
He dove into the depths of the lake
And entered the abyss below
Yet water came to a screeching hal

This awful tune of grief
For him the bell tolled and now's ringing
You mourn for my fiancé's thief
He paid for his crime with his life
My gun took his away
The woman I love will be my wife
So sad chimes, sing joyfully today
Oh you mourning chimes do sing on
And I will sing along
For him to grim death's sad melody
The victim of jelousy
My love for him became his doom
By the gun of my groom
Like the smoke his life faded away
Oh, you sad sad chimes sing on today
Oh you sad sad chimes will you fade
Today's a day of joy
Since at dawn two men met at the glade
And dead is who me does cloy

She hides sorrow with smiles so bright
And though I try so very hard
Can't lift the burden from her heart
How can his words induce this pain?
And does he notice the hurt he caused her?
And will he hear the words she cannot say?
I think I ought to tell
How will this end for my dear friend?
How will this sad love one day end?
Although the feelings are in place
Tears keep streaming down her face
Which I try to dry in vain
Oh, will we ever from hurting deter?
Oh, how I pray for joy to come one day
For this love to get well

When the sky is forever gray
And the muffled light can't tell
If it's already night or still day
It's the time of year again
When the cold rain forever falls
And all the colours of joy
Are taken away by rainy squalls
It's that time of year I hate
When there' s nothing but autumn rain
Tapping on my window and
Making me blue, ev'ry year again

Oh, my husband, how I feared this day
My husband with never satisfied desire
Know how much I have longed for today
Though you will kill me with your touch
When we're united at last

I have returned, my cold hearted wife
Believe me I will not lose you twice
I want to hold you, though it will end my life
My beloved wife with a soul of ice
Though you will kill me with your touch
When we're united at last
You I want and avoid so much
After all those centuries that passed
My husband, my eyes I can't believe

The GameTo me it's nothing but a gameThe Game7 months ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
Ensure me for you it is the same
Before you go on and tell me your name
So what's wrong with a date among friends
Without feelings no bitter ends
So can you play along with me
No falling in love, can you agree
But enjoying the lovely company
Now that you know my rules, can we play
Is there anything left to say
they call me bitch and slut and whore
And other names, oh so many more
Give me a list I never have asked for
Just because they cannot play like me
And assume like them I must be
I don't take money for a start
And never play with a fragile heart
Unrequited feeling can break apart

Whether they listen to rap or rock and roll
Veterans, they are all the same at heart
Even my mama and daddy played their part
Strong at heart, bold in nature, but still kind
Fighting until their last words are signed
Losing their limbs, their friends, their life
All to bring an end to this horrible strife
These Veterans I do so love for what they do
For freedom, there is nothing they won't go through
They will fight until they are finally called home
Be that home with their family or the twilight zone
And so I get rather riled up when they aren't respected
Do you know how much we'd be affe

Warm Me"The world is big and I am small,Warm Me5 months ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
I am short and the world is tall.
The world is cruel and I am hurt,
The world is cold and full of dirt."
The melody of a children's song
Echoed through the empty floor
When the shadow of a former self
Marched towards that certain door.
Behind that door there was a short shelf,
Drawers unlocked by a key
Agile fingers had stolen before.
The lighter was found with glee.
"The world is big and I am small,
The world is too deaf for my call.
The world is cruel and turned away,
The world is cold and has to pay!"
Like ice the darkened walls did glisten
On the floor there was a lake.

Bullying: Another Life is StolenMaking others feel worthless is what you do bestBullying: Another Life is Stolen8 months ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
Then you go and claim it was all a joke, a mere jest
But your words mean more than you comprehend
Your words can lose somebody their dearest friend
Your jokes have taken another young life away
Now the day is bleak and a cruel shade of grey
Know that to obtain your one little power trip
Your victim will feel as if they are being whipped
So the next time you feel the urge to tease or play
Be sure to always remember what happened this day
Your torment stole a family member and friend
And for the family, there will seem to be no end
Stop the bullying before another young life is stolen

We kill angelsWe take the kindness for granted whenWe kill angels8 months ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
We think that we deserve it but then
The angel we owe this to falls finally
We wonder aloud and we wonder why
And over the angel we broke we cry
Still we can't see we caused it initially
It's too easy to make angels fall
While wond'ring "Where are the angels all?"
It's so easy to push them over the edge
By demanding and taking it all, yet
We never give, never repay the debt
Tell me, what excuse do we have to allege?
Oh, leeches we are, vampires feeding
On angels' hearts, don't see they're needing
Kind words once in a while, arms to hold them, too
Why do we not tell them they are precious

GranddadNo words can describe the hurt that resides now within me. It fills a hole of your shape, showing as many facettes as you used to have. But the tears it causes, they aren't the tears of joys you always caused. I miss you. I misss you so much, though you're just gone for a almost two days. We haven#t talked for weeks before you were sent to hospital. We didn't tlak much when I last saw you there. But mostly because I was fighting tears already. I didn't want you to see me cry, not when you were still alive. But when you spoke of your funeral, did you notice me looking away? Did you see I stared out of the window instead of looking at you? Did you wonder why? Or did you know?Granddad2 weeks ago in Emotional More Like This

All so many do is treat others like a pile of dirt
They can be friends one day and change the next
Looking only for money, drugs or even just sex
That seems to be the way of the world now
Something that has become acceptable to allow
But it is a sad truth that many will not admit
Through this time of hatred, it seems so few make it
We used to be so very close, you and I were
But I'm afraid that you've begun to change good sir
I no longer recognize the person you have become
What is left of who you were? Fore I see not a crumb

Too many of the good are treated like dirt
I try and try to help, to take some pain away
So many people will never see the new day
Humans are a terror to their own race
We spread our diseases all over the place
We kill our children, rape our women
And the guilty are punished only now and then
When was it that people were ashamed of their own kind?
When did we get to be so ignorant and blind?
To kill and rape and destroy our own blood
Is to say that the human race is no purer than mud
Those strong of heart and caring souls
To help those close begins to take its toll

Yes, and the darkest crevices of the earth,
Where the burning candle shines the brightest.
It is in the bleakest of moments,
When all hope seems to flee,
When you can find a friend by your side.
Wherever you are, whatever the time, however you feel,
Just know that I will always be here,
Always with you, always loyal.
For as long as the sun continues to rise,
And you possess the strength to get to your feet,
There is still hope.
