...but what if you don't?It started off great; you and me,...but what if you don't?3 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
we got together; we were happy,
everything was going fine; no downs, just ups,
three months, nineteen days; seems like ages;
never felt like it though; it all flew by.
Four weeks ago, I changed; seemed distant,
I couldn't show you what you meant to me anymore,
I looked lifeless; felt emotionless and numb,
we started talking less; a lot of silence between us,
I blame myself, you should too.
It sinks in, it's over; you ended it,
it feels as though my heart is breaking; it's aching,
tears stream down both cheeks; eyes red raw already,
I couldn't show how much you mean to me;
but in all honesty...

leave me inside; by myself,
don't think twice; nor look back,
just go; run.
Unwanted child; leave me to rot,
black heart; black soul,
a mistake made; now being erased.
SilenceSilence upon me,Silence3 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
forgotten how to speak.
The silence, it haunts me.
Break it!... I can't.
My lips are sealed,
my voice; taken, stolen away from me,
just like my soul.
I can't scream when it hurts,
can't shout for someone to help,
can't even whisper a last goodbye.
So give me a pen,
and give me some paper, or;
chalk and a board,
sand and I'll use my finger...
Anything!
Just let me write my last goodbye,
since you've already taken my voice away.
Keep coming backSo in the darkness of the night, I sit.Keep coming back3 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
Peace with the darkness,
and they thought it was the other way round.
They were indeed wrong.
I stare, but since nothing is to be seen,
I see images instead.
Images, pictures, movement within them too.
Blink blink - blink
They carry on,
they're unwanted
why won't they go?!
I turn my head,
they're gone
but other appear.
Once again,
unwanted.
I snap them away
and they keep coming back.
Smothered by everything...I'm like a forgotten doll,Smothered by everything...3 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
You know, the one you took everywhere with you,
But then suddenly...
you threw me to the back of a closet,
and I was left alone.
I see the light every now and then...
Those days when you open up the door.
I used to have hope,
Hope that you'd bring me back out,
But now... I just don't care anymore,
You left me for so long, too long.
So many years ago you threw me here,
Now I can hardly see through everything else,
all that you threw on top of me,
Everything else you decided you didn't want anymore,
You didn't like anymore.
I wonder how long it is,
till I'm smothered by everything you've thrown on me.

Sleep now little Sister,
Don't you dare cry.
Sleep now little Sister,
Don't you dare die.
Cause when you wake
I'll say goodbye.
Don't you cry;
Don't you die;
Little Sister,
Give me one more night.
I'll be there...soon
Just give me time...
So sleep little Sister,
Just one little lie.
Mommy said best:
"Don't you ever lie"
Sleep now little Sister,
Don't you cry.
Sleep now little Sister,
Don't you die.
We thought her laid to rest,
But now I know why....
Wake little Sister
Take some time to cry.
Wake little Sister,
Now you know why.
Come little Sister,
Don't be shy.
Come little Sister,

ToNeed to get away,To3 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
to bleed,
to love, to hate,
to cry,
to have a ball and watch myself fall,
to hurt, feel the pain,
to get it all out,
to live, to die.
Need to stop it,
stop the crying,
the bleeding, running out of blood to lose,
the love, it makes me sick,
the hate, it's so stupid,
the hurt, the pain, can't take it much more,
keep it all in,
to live and die.
Gotta, stop it
stop it all,
everything I can,
your love, my hate
my love, your hate
my blood and your blood,
gotta stop the bleeding,
stop the flow of tears,
our eyes are red raw,
gotta live, gotta die.

Think again.

Think we care?

Laughing, haunting,
They say 'you're never truly alone'
I guess they're right...
they're always there...
Turn away! Close your eyes!
Block them out!...
Nothing seems to work.

They're in my mind, my head,
They won't leave me alone!

Night by night,

The Slowest Form Of SuicideEverything seemed to be fineThe Slowest Form Of Suicide3 years ago in Songs & Lyrics More Like This
We were perfect together
I was on cloud 9
But then you had that dead look in your eyes
You said it was over
Your love became despise
That's when the world stopped
The sky ripped in two
Can't believe I wasted so much time with you
The word "Love" seemed so sweet
But it was a trick
I hate you now
This makes me sick
Love's a stab to the heart
It's a bullet to the brain
It's the poison in the drink
It drives everyone insane
It's the noose around the neck
It's te blood splashed on the floor
But we all beg for more'n'more'n'more
And even when it's over
We'll do it all again
Love is gonna get us in

The sadness will never end.
They took you away from me.
And now I am stuck here with nothing.
I'm all alone.
I sit here wondering,
"Will you come back?"
"Will I ever see you again?"
I sit alone,
In this empty hole.
With a brokan heart.
I can't fuction without you.
Without my other half.
Even though all of this goes through my mind,
I can't seem to find the tears.
But I feel my heart twist and turn apart.
But I can feel the full affect.
Will you come back?
Or will you leave me here,
Leave my in this empty hole?
They suround me now.
I feel my heart racing,
Longing for your help.
But you never show.

Tale of a Broken HeartTale of a Broken Heart4 years ago in Songs & Lyrics More Like This
He sat there, alone in the park
Face in his hands, elbows on his knees.
Unseen to all around
He wept with crying sounds.
He sat there, alone in the park
On the bench
Where so often they'd made love
Wondering why it hurt so much
Still weeping with crying sounds
Again we find him sitting there,
all alone in the park.
Hating himself and everything else
Bleeding inside
An Empty husk.
Decades later, in his fourties
He lay alone, on that same bench
From whence they'd so deeply entwined.
Wondering what caused it all to unwind.
Five days pass,
In his final moments,
Angered and Saddened by what never came
He cursed the woman who b

“Don’t jump. Don’t jump. Don’t…Don’t jump”.
My voice grew weaker with the strain of carrying the words.
“Don’t jump. Don’t jump. Please don’t jump”.
Becoming higher in pitch as tears clogged my throat and blurred my focus.
“Don’t. No. Don’t jump.”
You turned your ashen face towards my own, the rain lashed down in heavy sheets, whipping your cheek bones. Your fingers were curled tightly around the metal rail, of which you were tentatively hanging above a dimly illuminated road, knuckles bruised white from clinging to the glistening pole.

The other hand rests casually under her jaw, a soft support for her gentle cheeks as she dreams.
The eyes, pale blue stare vacantly into the distance. An unfocused haze draws over the lashes, long and curved, floating across her lids.
The subconscious actions she makes every day, teeth chewing gently on her inner lip, occupying themselves while speech could not.
Long, red hair pooling about her lightly hunched shoulders, in small waves that curled loosely about the ends.
A dark, apricot fringe pushed to the side falls across one eye, her head tilts to

From the heart you hold.
It starts beading
Into the pool you've created.
Your the teeth in the night.
The one that creeps in the dark.
The one that doesn't show in the light.
The one who will always be watching.
Maybe I'm Not ReadyLike smoke across the moonMaybe I'm Not Ready4 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
I’m just the whispers on your skin
That tingling sensation
Calling deep within
It grows across your neck
And shimmers down your spine
Pulsing through your veins
Fingertips entwine
That spark cries out to me
In screaming bright blue tones
But my body won’t react
To those pleading cries and moans
Sickness dwells inside
It rises in my throat
This fear inside is killing me
There is no anti-dote
It purges through my soul
And stabs my aching frame
This despair won’t leave me be
This illness ain’t the same
It carries through my mind
Haunts me every day
Drowning me in sickness

You'll Never Come BackThe clock strikes oneYou'll Never Come Back4 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
And I’m lying here again
This dark, lonely hill
Will soothe away my pain
The cold, dewy grass
Moulds to my back
And my mind floats away
Down the old beaten track
Memories so fond
Played on repeat
Stuck in this dimension
Afraid to accept defeat
Stubborn and distressed
I come here every night
To kid myself I’m happy
To tease that I’m alright
Fingertips brush my arm
A soft and gentle touch
Dancing on my veins
To that reminiscence I clutch
A smile plays on my lips
And I keep my eyes shut tight
For fear of his presence escaping
Fading to nothing but light
But too much time has passed

Maybe you didn't matter to me as much as you did
But you still make my heart flutter
And my chest contract everytime you smile my way
I thought that in moving on to him
That the automatic need I felt for you would dissapear
And it did
For a while
I thought we could go back to normal again
But these feelings are creeping back
And I feel empty again
Like I did for so long
I thought that release would last forever
But it was just a temporary sensation
Like happiness dancing just out of reach
Inches away from my eager fingertips

Lost LoveShe sits on the floor, weeping,Lost Love4 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
Her make up runs down her face,
All the emotions she'd been keeping,
Burst out at an unruly pace.
All her shredded hopes and dreams,
Fall to the ground like snow,
She looks above at the ceiling beams,
And prayed to God they'd let go.
Her eyes are filled with hurt,
Water steadily flowing down,
Although she had been treated like dirt,
Without him square seemed round.
A tragic sigh escapes her lips,
She feels like the only one,
She finished the wine in a few more sips,
And with that she picked up the gun.
