You were greedy
You let your life slip [a w a y]
I can't recall how many times you said you wanted her
How many times you told us one day you'll be with her
Telling us how happy you'll be, to dance in the trees
[I thought I made you happy]
You took life away from me
You took away love
You left me sitting there… broken
I cried for you
And I wondered, was that what you wanted?
Someone to cry and tell you goodbye?
Just as you did for her
Truth is, I want her too
I missed her just as much as you
I'd love to dance in the treetops
Hear her beautiful laugh
But there's a difference between you and I

Of those lips,
Would be too much,
For my heart to handle!
To watch her walk,
So full of elegance.
Ow, just to hear her talk,
The purest of purity!
To steel a glance,
Is it forbidden?
Her eyes put me in a trance,
A wonderful shade of emerald!
Satin, soft skin.
Perfection is her love,
Ow just to win,
One audience grant me!
GargSo once upon a little time, a small girl didnt lieGarg6 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
She told the truth for what it was, and somehow made him cry
She saw the facts and said them straight
No lying from the start
She had an interest, inflamed into more
Love takes time and so you hit the floor
Why must it be love, a romance from the start
Why cant it be friends, you dont owe me your heart
Nor do I owe you, so stop and take a look
Love isnt the same as its written in the books
Its hard and its fast, it'll ruin you inside
Dont rush into love, just have a sweet confide
She didnt say no, she didnt say yes
Taking it slow means a chance for second guess

The truth about loving youThe truth about loving you6 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
We called it "friendship" for 5 months (140 days; 3,360 hours; 2,021,600 minutes…)
but I have always wanted more than that.
I wanted chap stick kisses
and to hold your calloused hands
in my own until
"I love you"
sounds like "fuck me" in the middle of the night
when there are tears streaming down my face.
Maybe god exists
and emotions are the last little
slap to the face, because people are worth less than
my thirty-eight cent postage stamp. The one I wear on the inside of my shirt,
just a little to the right of my heart
incase some day you decide I should send it to you.
Some days I spend 23 hours sitting by my mailbox, waiting

Lead to reality,
Imagination is real,
We are powerless to it's might.
Dreams, dreams..
Have made all the great arts of humanity,
Manipulation, egoists in control,
Chess, the most devastating of all wars,
Religion, establishment for fools,
Morality, just a figment of humanity's imagination.
Dogs,
Pigs,
Sheep.
They are the true rulers of the world,
They have induced our dreams,
for they were our predecessors.
We have impatiently rushed off to understand the world,
We have fogotten the ones with true power.
Dogs,
Pigs,
Sheep.
Dreams, dreams..
That is what comes from them,
The wish to eliminate pain,

I don't need superman
or spiderman or batman
It's not like there going to
save me,
when my hopes are gone
or when i'm falling
or when tears run down my face
That is why your my hero
Your right there ready
to help me
to be a shoulder to cry on
to pick me up when i am down
Superheros are there to admire
But they can never be a real hero to me
because they can't mend a broken heart
Friends && family
You are my real heroes

Your really the only one who seemds to be effetced the most.
You no longer confide in your family.

A short time passes. All that is heard anymore is yelling.
No moments of peice, only peircing voices.
You can no longer stand it.
It drives you insane.
Two
Time flies by.
You try to confide in your friends...
..But you can't
because your afrid of rejection and judgment.
Three
No longer able to confide in anyone at all
You loose yourself in the painful memories
You break down.

You loose all faith in ever returning to your happiness.

Is it the sound of two heartbeats
So closely intwined that they are no longer two?
Is it the feeeling of pure joy
That comes from me with you?
Is it this feeling of fire
Burning of sweetest joy
I think it is simply love
No way to explain
No way to describe
Just...simply love
How Was Your Day?We are friends from far away.How Was Your Day?7 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
When we talk we always have something to say.
Our lives so different yet the same.
Every night we play the game.
We talk of families and about our day.
I always wonder if there's more to say.
Could it have been different for you and I?
Or was fate decided before we could have tried?
For now we play our parts, that's all that's left;
Never knowing if our hearts would have met.
Two people from far away, always asking, "How was your day?".

A load of homework comes every night.
Being forced to be silent all day is no delight.
Crazy teachers can't figure out how to turn on overhead lights.
Does getting up early sound like fun?
Everyday your bookbag weighs a ton.
Four subjects worth of work has to be done.
Given pointless projects is not 'flippin' sweet'.
Half the time you don't have the time to sit and eat.
I can't believe there's a three day deadline to meet.
Just how much more can we take?
Keeping up for our grade's sake.
Listening to lectures and fighting to stay awake.
My head hurts from hitting the locker door.
No one wants to go back to

I cannot get an answer
I wonder why you ignore me
Your attention is what i am after
Please do not leave me feigning loneliness
If only I knew you were capable of this
How could you be so damn cold-hearted
I never wanted us to be departed
But now I wonder why I would want
Someone who could callously break my heart
Why would I ever want to percieve
That I wanted a second chance for you and me
I just want to say, thank god I couldn't get through
And you walked away, now I can pursue
A better life for me without
You, now i'm happy that I am on the right route
To happiness.

1.
I never really realized how much I missed those days
The days of exchanged looks, smiles, words
You say what a wonderful person I was
How much you're grateful to have a friend like me
[Honestly, I've always thought you hated me, along with my childish behavior, then]
You were such a kind soul
Happy
You loved to laugh and smile
[Though I always felt something was wrong
Maybe that's why I was so attached, so clingy]
I wanted to light your world, and be that friend
The one you always said you needed
And I tried so hard
But by the end I assumed I had failed
[Only to be reassured that I had not]

My BathI turn off the faucetMy Bath7 years ago in Urban & Spoken Word More Like This
Warm water up to my cheast
My breasts barely
Barely
Peeking above the surface
I close my eyes
Smile, breathe in deep
Feel cold steel against my wrist
Press firmly
Exhale as I pull the blade across
Smelling coppery blood as it runs down my arm
Pause for another breath in
Then quickly with the other side
I am already getting dizzy
The smell fills the air
Intoxicating better than any drug ever could
Drop my hands into the water
The cuts sting for just a moment
I open my eyes to be sure my letter is there
Two words
"I'm sorry."
The water's already pink as I squeeze my fists, increasing the flow

Am I crazy?
Because my mind is full of thoughts of you,
It's getting lazy.
Am I the only one that feels like this?
Or does someone else feel it too,
About someone like you.
Am I going outta my head?
Cause you're the last person,
I think about before I go to bed.
Am I falling or I am I flying?
Am I happy or am I cryin'?
Am I the only one who feels like this?

I jump
Wrapping my legs around his waist
Hoping we don't fall
Giggling
At my childish behavior
He kisses me yet again
I just don't understand how he does it
Making me fall even more in love with him
Every moment I'm with him
And wanting him even more
When I'm not
I feel like a little child
Needing him there
I look into his eyes
I see his past
Our future
I feel his breath
Softly upon my neck
Pulling me in
Closer to him
He always seems to know just what I want
Without me saying a word
Always, willing to

There's no need for you to cry
Rest your head and open your mind
To a world of joyful dreams
I shall stand by your side
I shall protect you from the dark
Because I love you
So sleep in gentle peace
Don't you cry for I am here
There is nothing for you to fear
I will guard you as you sleep
Drift away into peaceful dream
I will always watch over you
I will always protect you
Because I love you
So sleep in gentle peace
Sleep in gentle peace
(Acoustic guitar solo)
I will always watch over you
I will always protect you
Because I love you…
So sleep in gentle peace
Sleep in gentle peace…
