this is how... This is how it feels,this is how... in Free Verse More Like This
When I'm standing on the edge,
And this is how I lie,
When I'm screaming "I'm fine"
This is how it looks,
When I lose myself,
Ignored the words you said,
Stepping closer to the end,
Today I disappear,
As I throw myself away,
This is how hurts,
When I pretend I feel no pain,
No longer have you,
To breathe life into me,
Falling, falling,
I'm falling,
Deeper into my despair,
Closer and closer to the ground,
Heart beat fading,
This what I chose,
When it was left up to me,
This is how I break,
When I finally hit the ground.

Is from my doll,
Stab a needle through the thread,
And let you know,
Why I can't move on,

Well I felt it every day,
And now for my sweet revenge,
I shall make you feel exactly the same,
With my little voodoo doll,
For me,
Nothing shall go wrong.

To put me in my place,
Nothing like a kick to the head,
To wipe that fake smile off my face,
Pain can be the best separation,
Between dream and reality,
Lies and the truth,
A smack to the face,
Slammed to the floor,
Make me see dreams are worth more,
Freedom...no such thing,
Love...never heard of the word,
I know why they hate me,
I'm fat and repulsive,
Crazy and depressant,
But these girls who hit me,
They save me, as without them,
I would sink into my own nightmares.

Pool of red,
People herded,
Quickly murdered,

But keep me with you,
And keep me true,

Mark me with an owning tattoo,
As I am your property,

Laid face down in the dirt,
Time for my revenge,
And my soul I shall avenge.

It had survived things that no mug should have had to endure.
It had been dropped off cliffs, plunged into radioactive water, used to hold questionable substances and once travelled several hundred kilometres after Pilot tied a helium balloon to it. It had been thrown at Snippy countless times. It had suffered the indignity of being sat on by Engie after the Captain left it lying on a chair.
It had never been washed in its life.
But in the end, all it took was one little nudge, and the mug – the great, glorious mug – was reduced to a few shards of broken ceramic and a spatter of sad-looking tea.

"I hear Pripyat is pleasant this time of year."
Sniper stood watch, just outside the old travel agency building. Aside from somehow withstanding the rest of the block collapsing around it, the shop was impressive for having reasonably preserved brochures. Captain and Pilot would often amuse themselves by planning trips to countries that no longer existed, and Engineer would gather what they discarded for kindling. Whenever Sniper grew sufficiently bored, he'd call out with something he thought was witty.
It was a bit like that, being on watch; you'd either say something funny and die knowing your sense of humour was too good for this world,

Lingering ThoughtsI wonder if you could be happy without me,Lingering Thoughts in Urban & Spoken Word More Like This
If you could do being without me.
Whether you'll still laugh as beautifully,
With that small smile lingering all day long unconsciously.
I really don't think I can do all that without you.
And even if I could come to love again.
It would never again feel as easy as breathing,
Like having a heart just a little smaller than being complete.
Maybe I'm just wondering how important I am to you,
How true your beautiful words are,
How I know with such a certainty,
That you are the reason for all my lingering smiles.
Secretly TogetherBehind closed doors we fall in each other's arms,Secretly Together in Urban & Spoken Word More Like This
Like finding consolation in trust of our dreams.
But only in evenings,
When all the thorns have been shed away.
And comes the steady glow of the moon reflecting in your eyes,
The steady warmth I can feel glowing from your skin.
However when you blink,
The world seems to waver at its brink of life.
Still nothing seems close to describing this moment of us together,
Just another of the many we will probably forget.
But like the millions of love stories left unread,
It's as beautiful as any love could be tonight.
Because I Need YouI learned to forgive when I heard you sang in your lovely voice,Because I Need You in Urban & Spoken Word More Like This
Leaving behind feelings of an undying want in me like the way you said I told you so.
And it was in high school when you first gave me that look,
Forever sealing my belief in the absolute beauty of a real smile.
I still remember the way you cried with your heart years later in sweet love,
And I wondered if you knew that I cared about you beyond your wildest dreams.
A fragile moment of eternity incomplete,
When a touch is all we need to know and understand each other so well.
It was thanksgiving when I woke up to rippling translucent waves of the ocean nearby,
A warm glo
Reaching to the CloudsReaching to the Clouds in Urban & Spoken Word More Like This
I can only think of how much I wish I were in your arms,
Commenting on your body with my lips,
Kissing you blindly with my eyes closed,
All in perfect understanding of this thing called love.
I used to be afraid of the light in the dark,
Your lips on my arms.
The need rising constantly in my chest,
Little tells when you are near.
Now your voice feels like wind on my heart,
Your smiles sunlight to my skin,
Your promises dancing kisses by my ears,
But your love is the only one I will ever need.
A fairy tale without liesWhen I used to think of you,A fairy tale without lies in Urban & Spoken Word More Like This
I'd look at that picture of you with that fairy tale smile,
The puffiness underneath your eyes,
A smoldering feature beneath the longing pain coloring the background of my mind.
So my first impression of you was maybe a bit off,
As are my denials,
Of our heart connection,
And that maybe someday I will find you the one to see in love.
People talk about all the things in life to go back to.
I only think of you to hold on to.
And every touch of your love sends warmth in a way,
Where I could almost smell a fairy tale without lies.

I want to feel your heart beat,
I want you to feel mine too.
It binds us close together,
And I believe that this is where you want to be.
Trust me, I know that this won't last forever,
You've made that very clear.
One day I know you're gonna leave me,
Turn away and never look back.
But am I wrong, tell me am I wrong
To want to spend tonight with you?
Let's just sit back and enjoy being together,
Before the sun comes up and the sky turns blue.
Is there any chance that I could make you stay,
Any way you wouldn't leave?
Maybe you could just hold me for a little while.

Pulling me backwards every time I try to move on.
I wish that you could just let me go,
So that way I can actually take more than three steps a day.
It's not even one step forward, two steps back,
Because you always pull me in a different direction.
I can never guess where you are going to show up next;
You just appear and take me back,
Back to the times when we were safe,
Hidden away in our own little escape.
We never gave any thought to the fact that it might one day be over,
Never believed that we would ever be torn apart.
I just sat back, let the feeling of your strong arms just fa

Would you still have lied?
Would I maybe not feel
So much like dying inside?
Who knows? Maybe that wouldn't be her name on that line,
Next to yours instead of mine.
What if we had taken the jump,
Back when we both strong enough to fly?
We could have held ourselves up,
Instead of slowly crashing back to the ground.
Right?
Please, let's at least pretend I'm right.
I never wanted to feel this way,
I never wanted to be in this state of mind.

So many scars, so much hurt (The pain seems almost unbearable).

The ones who tried to leave a legacy,
and failed.
They have fought hard,
but it wasn't enough for recognition.
So they lie in the ground,
graves unmarked and forgotten,
Covered with leaves, vines

bones buried deep and weathered with age,
long ignored in the dust.
These people gave their lives

trapped and forgotten in the ground.
Overshadowed by people
Who spent all their time,
bragging and overcompensating
for cowardly deeds.
They make their fame taking the glories of those forgotten masses

But I am held back by the bars.
They hang, shining,

I try as hard as I can,
However,
my hands still fall short of their goal.
Frustration is slowly building

I don't think I will ever be free;

Going back on exactly what he swore.

A place that was once my safe haven

Taken away from me so suddenly.
I am snapping under the weight
Of the broken, shattered remains.

Like the sailor fights the tide.
Your memory suffocates me,
For I am drowning in the emptiness of your shell.
You are no longer with me
In this life that is a hell.
