Far-off PromiseFar-off Promise9 years ago in Songs & Lyrics More Like This
A far off promise it may be,
But it's a dream I cling to.
I cherish your heart with my life,
And not in it will I let you go.
I hope you know I'll love you from now till the end of time.
I want to be with you,
But it will have to wait.
Who am I to argue with love?
Unrequited as it may be it's pure.
I know someday for sure, I'll be with you till the end of time.
Just one touch, a smile.
Even for a little while,
I'd like to hold your hand in mine.
A dream, a wish,
A promise that will be fullfilled in time.
Someday, you will be mine.
Two hearts, two souls,bonded for eternity.
And so, until that day I'll wait....

I call your name so helplessly,
I scream into the night.
I wish that you could just be here.
I know this isn't right.
I throw my arms up to the sky,
I stare into the rain.
And now I know, without your love,
I'll never be the same.
I know you also want to scream,
And like me, you may fall.
I'm sure with the distance, it may seem,
I was never there at all.

The Belief In True Love
The city sparkled lightly in the dark night. A boy walked slowly down the street by himself with a coat buttoned up to his neck. His lips were slightly darker than his pale skin, and his brown freckles stood out. His eyes held a worry of what his future would hold. People hurried by him as he slowly walked down the dirty sidewalk. There was a buzzing sound coming from his pocket, and he slipped his long fingers into his pocket to retrieve his phone. Hello ? Im walking home now Ill be there in a bit Please come Alright Ill s

Ich sehe dem dunklen Himmel. Einen Himmel, der so leer ist. Er ist so groß und so allein. „Herr Himmel, bist du allein? Dir ist so kalt und du bist leerstehend. Bist du allein?" Ich bekomme keine Antwort. Ich sehe dem Himmel bis morgen wenn die Sonne scheint. Ich glaube, daß der Himmel einen Kamerad hat, aber ich kann es nicht wissen. „Herr Himmel, hast du einen Kamerad? Weil die Sonne aufgegangen ist..." Ich bekomme keine Antwort. Hier ich liege auf dem Boden. Die Sonne scheint, aber es kann blenden. Ich scleiße meine Augen.

but you weren't.
You said you'd always care,
but you didn't.
When I told you I needed help,
you turned your back on me.
You lied.
But why?
You said our friendship would always be!
I have my knife,
and as I start to bleed,
I cry.
I said I wasn't going to die,
I was wrong.
That was my lie.

She had forgotten how much she'd missed spring.
Walking through the damp trail, Rin gazed up into the cloud-streaked afternoon sky. She was glad that she had escaped from the hustle and bustle of the shiro; only the chirping of early birds and the croaks of tree frogs surrounded her here. As she passed, bullfrogs on the bank jumped into the murky pond and turtles ducked their heads under

from your open doorway? It was more than a night light,
it was proof that there was somewhere to go when
the boogeyman really was out to get you. It was proof
that your parents really were there to run to when
you were afraid. It was proof that things would be okay.
Do you remember your room, the first time it was yours,
and not just the room of a child who happened to have your name?
When you could look around the room and see your style,
not the style of thousands of other kids, but your style?
It was proof that no matter how average your tastes seemed,
This room would always bel

like memories of a past you that don't exist,
don't forget your muscle has a memory too--
and the right compliment can make past new.
For you who only feel a love in daydreams,
or memories of the one that fell through,
don't forget your heart is a muscle too,
and it remembers just as easily, if you want it to.
For you who only draw through projects,
like those you were encouraged to in school,
Don't forget that there lies talent there,
and unused it doesn't dry up, but pools.
The tendency to store past away in memories
is so damning to the future in your mind--

Have you ever seen the sun's place in the sky grow and
shrink the shadows on the ground? Things look much different

Heaven and HellDo you believe in a conscious?Heaven and Hell4 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
That little voice that tells you what to do:
The wrong from right and false verses true?
The angel and the devil perched
On your shoulder blades for your life span
Can help or hinder every one of your plans
Do you listen to the angel,
So sweet, in mind, righteous and pure
Telling you look out for what's in store?
Or do you hear the crafty devil
Laughing in a diabolical refrain
As he leads you through doubt and into pain?
Heaven verses hell, in your mind
Can you properly choose a side
Or just hold on for the rest of the ride?

Ink and QuillWords are always more than ink and quill,Ink and Quill4 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
though their depth can often pool up in a
semi-aqueous darkness, like a magical Flan
of feelings, a Gelatin of secrets and fears,
that, for lack of ears to hear, must be confined
to the pulpy two-dimensional world of paper.
The only alternative release is in tears.
Diamonds of emotion compressed and crystallized
in the heat of truth, sadness, rejection, and
shaped by the tear ducts like lava from a volcano.
Forms of thought so fragile they shatter upon
making contact with any surface. Yet so precious.
Within poetry exists the truth of the dragon, the
wings the freedom of expression and re

Even if it's just for the weekend?
Even though you know they'll be back on Saunday, waiting to hug you tight?
To be so used to falling asleep next to someone, that when they're not there, it's impossible to sleep at all?
You just toss and turn, and keep hoping you'll feel their arms hold you in the middle of the night, when the dark closes in.
You can't breath...
You're heart beats, but it just seems louder than ever before...
The rhythm of their breathing, the sound you're so used to hearing in your ear at night, isn't there.
And God, how you wish it

An old pair of jeans
That I finally had to throw out
They were light blue and faded
With age.
You know why I loved them?
Cause they fit just right
And I could wear anything with then
I lived in those jeans for many many
Years.
You know why I had to thrown them out?
They were old and tattered with age
Not to mention the two big holes in the knees
The bottoms were ripped and there was no
Mending them.
You know I tried to save them?
Stitched them up myself
Rather badly I right add
And in the end it was better to let
Them go.

The cold breeze of change rustles the
leaves of the forest of memories.
Though you can see trees in each
direction, those alive grow eerie

Normally the moonlight would warm
your heart, but now the shadows
it casts surround and capture you.
You run from it like a criminal breaking
from jail. All the criticisms past rush
at you like bloodhounds hot on your trail.
The fallen leaves obscure roots which
