A Spark In The Dark
After I had met you
I found out that hope can be so wounding
Now I know what love can do
As the pieces of my heart are still falling
You made me fade in-and-out of heaven
Allowing me the taste of peace momentarily
And you're right back to testing my withdrawing patience
While I plunge back into the same old hell with this vulnerability
The feeling is too raw
A tug of war between different kinds of torment
I'm missing you so much
A never ending stalemate, the sorrow is infinite
Stay Stay Stay
Don't go, don't leave
Pray Pray Pray
Don't let go of me
....Please

But you left me for the last time

Like a NinjaYou snuck into my heart like a ninja...Like a Ninja1 year ago in Urban & Spoken Word More Like This
I hadn't even noticed you did until it was too late...
My heart tried to defend itself, trying to keep you at a distance like it does with everyone else in my life...
It built up walls, so high and strong built from my past's scars...
Traps were laid throughout it, fooling the foolish who fell for them...
Weapons were made at the ready to harm anyone who got too close to me, who were important to me...
But you evaded them all...
All the walls, all the traps, and all the weapons...
You dodged, weaved, jumped, and deflected each blow from my cold and dark heart...
But can you blame my heart for t

That you can't get back
It's like all of those shadows
Saying what you lack
It's that pain in your head
You just can't seem to shake
It's that night in the park
With your first mistake
It's the cry in the night
"Am I alone?"
It's the chill in the air
That hurts to the bone
It's a moment in time
That you can't get back
And all of those things
You just know you lack…
Take a chance
Come dance with me
We can twirl through the sky
Totally free
Just give me your hand
Baby, give it a try
I'll wipe away tears
You can't help but cry
Twirl through the night
On angel wings
And I'll tell you ta
Pale Winter SunEmbedded in the grass, dead leaves are fitted with icy suits of armor..Pale Winter Sun6 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
And only when the sun bathes them in the morning do they cast away the battle of the night.
I can see the transformation as the light crawls across the ground.
Ice prevails in shadow.. Shrinks in the sun.
Leaving a stark, dividing line where the heat has not yet traveled.
In this deepening November..
I find the cold can no longer reach into my bones the way it used to.
The frost now melts on the surface.
Leaving the marrow within warm and undisturbed..
Untouched. Finally allowed to mend the fissures of the past.
At dawn, I'm comforted by the hazy pink of the
Living ZombieMy flesh may not be rotting,Living Zombie7 months ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
My heart may not be stopping,
But I am not alive
I am too dead to survive;
I am a living zombie.
My stare may not be chilling,
My desire may not be killing,
But I am not like you
I am that soul you slew;
I am a living zombie.
My mouth may not be moaning,
My limbs may not be groaning,
But I am not living
I am past forgiving;
I am a living zombie.
My spirit is not in my soul,
My happiness isn’t my goal,
For I am your regret
Something you’ll forget;
I am a living zombie.

Would you care
would you feel alone
If I were no longer there?
Should be searching
Could I find
A road to follow
To get some peace of mind.
Take me home,
lead the way,
without a word to say.
Follow the moon,
or the sun.
Will I ever come,
to a place where I belong.
Could you tell me,
who to be.
just who is this girl
I'm on lock and there's no key.
I feel alone,
I feel lost.
Will I stay like this,
Forever, always last.
Take me home,

without a word to say.
Follow the moon,
or the sun.
Will I ever come,
to a place where I belong.
Trying so hard to be someone I'm not,

Discarded.You cry for your sorrows and you bleed for your dreams,Discarded.6 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
Just always remember, this world is not what it seems.
You can be the best of friends and then disappear,
They'll just discard you, I know it's hard to hear.
But this has happened enough to me,
It's all everyone's been doing recently.
So here I lie, discarded, fearing to stand up,
Because what waits just isn't worth getting up.
Thrown away and lying in a puddle of mud and blood,
All the other times I got up, and wiped off the mud.
But this time, as I lie here, broken and bloody,
I don't want to get up, I want to be a dead body.
I know getting up is inevitable, because I will never give in,
But I really just want to give up and say that "I'm done in."

as missing, as unfinished, as incomplete.
She used to think she was complete, accomplished;
her flaws hidden, her heart healed and soul varnished.
Her Creator had made her independent -
she did not need her "other half" to be whole.
However
When he left, a cold hand wrapped around her heart;
she ached, trapped under the weight of missing him.
She craved his presence, his arms around her waist,
his hands in her hair, his eyes locked on to hers.
She realized she'd simply been fooling herself -
He was her "other half", a 'yin' to her 'yang'.
She had never thought of herself as broken,

That Girl In The MirrorHappiness will remain forever out of reachThat Girl In The Mirror4 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
When love from your life you omit
To the girl in the mirror; you are beautiful
Yet somehow you never quite fit
Not the girl they thought you’d turn out to be
When you were a neonate child
Born with a raging heart and a raging mind
But with a manner ever so mild
Your scars aren’t always visible to them
And not only hidden under attire
Lacerations to the mind are just as abhorrent
When memories and dreams conspire
So girl break the mirror if you have to
And reflect on your life as a whole
Do you really want to spend the rest of your days
Behind a façade of self control?
Please be strong

Giving them kisses in the dark
to numb their headache from
drinking too much and yet
not enough to kill lust.
She was always adored by boys, who,
if given the chance, would rebuild
the world for her.
But she wanted to be the heroine
and refused to see
she needed saving, too.
MaskHave you ever worn a mask for so longMask8 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
That you're afraid to take it off,
And breathe in the purity
Of the unfiltered world outside?
Would your lungs be able to take it?
Or burst trying?
Have you ever worn a mask for so long

Because no one might recognize you?
Would you recognize yourself?
Have you ever worn a mask for so long
That you're afraid to take it off,
Because you don't know anymore

It was really . . . nice
I had no scars
no scabs
nothing but clean skin
I looked so happy
I had tons of friends
I was being rewarded for my grades
I didn't look ill
I was wearing shorts
I was doing stuff I hasn't in years
like swimming in the ocean
or at the pool
Walking around the house in short sleeves
I couldn't help but wonder
'is this how life would be
If I didn't make that first cut?
Would I not be addicted to smoking
Or not want to drink?'
I looked so happy
It was that kind of happiness
everyone wants to reach too
The kind I would die for
This is me saying this

Please take a closer look
I am the silhouette
I am the unread book
Letters and words within me
Arranged in such a way
This narrative keeps the readers eyes fixed
To the words that I say
Evoking an array of emotions
From the first page to the last
Keep you from putting me down
Chapter to paragraph
Heroes and heroines
Acting out in fictional arenas
Facts and figures educate
And quench lifes thinkers and dreamers
The feel of my page on your fingers
The scent that lies within
They judge me on my appearance
Before the first chapter even begins
So I remain on the shelf
Slowly gathering dust

When I was a kid I used to play pretend
Oblivious those times would one day end
I would pretend I was an astronaut
Exploring deepest space
I'd use my pillows as a rocket ship
And the blankets as the caves
Sometimes I would imagine
That I was on TV
I used a box as the frame
And cut a hole for a screen
I would always swing a bat
Pretending that I played
Baseball in the sun
While drinking lemonade
I always thought I was a doctor
With my plastic stethoscope
Healing all the animals
With cotton and some soap
I would pretend I was on stage
Strumming air guitar
Singing in a microphone
Into a sea of endless

a morbid prelude to our demise,
we dance until this world stops turning,
we waltz along the bridges we're responsible for burning,
hand in hand,
side by side,
we'll slide along the shattered souls that become our dance floor,
downtrodden and broken they lie before us,
and so we begin our final dance,
surrounded by the burning ash of the lives we led,
the lights of judgement begin to burn so bright,
they fall upon us casting twisted silhouettes of who we once were,
as fire begins to consume her dress,
i hold her ever more tightly as the flames tear apart our flesh,
it's here we suffer for

Akin to the wings of a dove
You feel a karmic wind change
From this feeling called love
As I unfurl my wings
To the plague in your heart
I am your remedy
Now the healing can start
A spiritual moment
A timely epiphany
Everything in its right place
Just as it's meant to be
As I unfurl my wings
To the plague in your mind
Within the darkest caverns
I will bring you sunshine
A healing process
We will soothe each other's sores
My love, you are my life line
As much as I am yours
As we spread our arms
Two souls embrace as one
Your remedy is my cure
And our symptoms are now gone

Like a hammer constantly colliding

They touch my belly button,

And sink and stay.
They hide and bubble in my core.

the blood in my veins run twenty below.

Is it hard to conceive?
Draw in your last breath, then-
Your last breath will leave.
Isn't it strange to think,
That there's a timer above your head?
A countdown you can't see,
That finishes when you're dead.
Don't you ever wonder,
What it'll be like when you're gone?
I bet the world will keep on spinning.
There will be another dawn.
But the harsh reality behind it-
We're all going to die.
There's no reason to try to fight it
Not even to question why.
It makes me wish that I could have a little more to give,
Because I'm not afraid of how I'll die...
I'm afraid of how I'll

I stand on the cliff, above the deep blue.
One step forwards, then I threw
My heart, attached to a line and a hook,
A symbol of the endless pain that I took.
Now I shall fish and I shall wait,
Wishing that someone would take my bait.
This would be my only hope,
Ending feelings that I couldn't cope,
Now, where is my sweet darling bliss?
I had loved the way she used to kiss,
But that was all in the past,
Of course love never lasts,
She left without even a kiss good-bye,
While I was left all alone to cry,
She was my shining Sea Gem,
Will she ever love me again?
My Sea Gem's heart was set on the Mage,
Now it's his turn

No More Therapy
Nothing works anymore
I knew it all along; the end is near
I've said it once and I've said it before
I was never meant to exist; I was not meant to be here
Hated by all / See me fall
Loved by none / Heart is numb
Rejected by life / Fallen from strife
From this- I've become / After this- I'm done
Through this blame
Is the choice
Of my decision
Hear the pain
In my voice
I am suffering
-
I no longer could drown out the sounds
Swallowed from within
I was surrounded by an internal doubt
Regretting everything
Remember the days
Relive the nights
Of my shame
In my mind
Growing up in society
I got lost
Being raised with hypocrisy

Someone can be another person's hero
If only love existed
Dusk will break with a darker tomorrow
Another day of being two-faced
Every second- a promise is broken
Every minute- a tear is taken
Every hour- a smile is forced
Every day- a child is born
I stitch my mouth shut / I finally had enough
Silence is my sin / Truth is my friend
Seal my eyes wide / Lies can finally hide
I will witness no evil / I will force another smile
Anyone can be someone's demon
Because greed insists it
Peace is no
