FragilityWe hold up our heads and look so strong,
But I am certain we are not what we seem:
We are nothing but breakable bodies
And far too fragile dreams.
With frail paper skin soaked with ink,
And bones just made of glass;
Cracked with every single hope
That does not come to pass.

I'm tired of it AllI'm tired of being know as
the person with "problems"
I'm tired of being known as
the person with "disabilities"

I'm tired of being a mistake to this world
An unworthy failure in this life
Just because I have these problems
and not many understand them...

I'm tired of being judged
because they don't fully know me
To deal with this pain
and faking it all day long

I'm tired of putting a mask on
I just want to scream to the world
and tell everybody how I truly feel....

I'm tired of living a lie in my life
To pretend that everything is alright
while deep down
I am dying

I'm just tired of dealing with everything
Pretending to have this smile

ConfectionsSentiments and caramel mints
love is sweet
this is what you really meant

when you sighed
the world goes round
when you breathe
I won't make a sound

Oh, you're the one
Oh, you know you're the one

Cherry lips, blossom lips
Let me see you swing your hips
stay with me
We can take a little trip

Things so sweet
We can taste a bubblegum rain
And whisper softly through the pain

Oh, you're the one
Oh, you know you're the one

cherry lips, xylophone ribs
let me feel you shake your hips
play with me
We can take a little trip

Words so sweet
taste the strawberry rain
Our hearts were made to endure pain

Oh, you're the one
Yes, you know you're the on

SkinThe fire now turns my heart to ash.
feelings i promised id never have.
not after what was and then reborn
after the skin i have was torn

never could i be what was nor could be
nothing left now i bury me
no angel no purity to bring to you
if it wasnt killing me id apologize for what i put you through

there was future that wasnt mine but ours
a place where i was the sun and stars
all is lost much to soon
lost myself in you forever moon.

Dreaming of YouEvery night I dream of you
wishing upon a star
that you were here for real

Every night I lay in bed
a dream so wonderful
cause you are in it

I dream of being with you
to grow old together
a day never apart
only you are in my thoughts

A feeling so wonderful
it is in my heart
the love that grows
stronger each day

Every night I think of you
our love is for real
you are always here

I dream of happiness
being with you all the time
a dream so magical
that everything seem so real

Every night
you are here with me
keeping me safe
throughout the night

After all it is just a dream
but I promise you
that one day it will be real

So for now I will

Heart Has Been BrokenI watch you from a distance
Your pain filled expression as you are turned down
There is a feeling of pain left inside
But there is nothing left to hide

Your heart has been broken
It looks like it’s been torn open
And it ticks like a clock
You wish to see your feelings returned
But it’s just not to be

I miss the beauty in the air
Of the times where you start to sing
A melody of your love
It’s another one of those beautiful things
But now all I feel is the misery in the air
Where you were rejected

Your heart has been broken
It looks like it’s been torn open
And it ticks like a clock
You wish to see your feelings retur

ListenCan you hear me
Listen
Listen to my cries
Hear me
Feel my pain
See your neglect
Understand what you've put me through
Hear me roar
My anger bouncing off the wall
My sadness ringing in
Your deaf ears
Can't you hear me
Do you just not care
Listen to me
Listen
Don't walk away
I'm not finished
If only you'd hear me
If only I could make you see
Why won't you listen
Why don't you care
Do you not see the tears
I'm shedding
You're the one that's made to care
It's your job
Why can't you just listen

Maybe you can't hear me
Yeah
That's it
I'm just not loud enough

LockedLocked

So long ago
I've been trying to escape
Giant walls grow bigger
In my place

There is not place for anyone else
Just loneliness and myself
Heavy air is what I breathe,
Heavy tears are what I expect

Lonely whispers surrounding me
Adding more weight to my chest…
This pain around me is so dense,
It can be cut with a blade

Thousands of swords are falling
Willing to hurt where they can…
Painful cries are drowned,
By cruelty herself

Long I've been running
From here, to there…
Locked in a concrete prison,
Locked in a trees jail…

What is the difference
Between being alone here, and being alone there?
I am a captive in this

When I'm GoneI want to tell you something although I
Don’t know why I even try.
You were never the type who liked
To listen to what was on my mind,
But I’ll just keep talking anyway.
Maybe this time I’ll get through.

Here’s the thing:
I want to be the reason why
You can’t sleep at night,
Or the reason you don’t eat.
I want you to feel that twist
In your stomach when you see
Something that reminds you of me.

I want you to know the
Feeling of a heart that has been torn.
It beats in your chest, but it still isn't
Enough to convince you that you’re alive.
I want you to feel emptiness every
Time you realize tha

Love To KillHe whispered in my ear, "Baby can I hug you around the neck?
Your eyes really brighten up when you cry,
Judging by the marks on your wrist you already want to die."

Trying to recover and stop loving you,
But my heart has a mind of its own,
And I can never find better then you.

"You deserve everything that's coming for you.
Everything you do makes me rageful,
I can barely stand to see you breathe.
Now blow me a kiss as you're on your knees."

Each bruise is a mistake, and truly made of love.
I know how his heart of stone really feels,
I just have to mine through the bitterness.

"You won't ever leave,
Don't you know what my dad did to me?
Yo

Wake up and Smell RealityPeople suck.

It's the cold, hard truth.

She abondoned me, she's a terrible person, blah blah blah

People leave.

It's life.

Get over it.

Not everyone is going to put up with your shit.

She deserves to die for what she did to me

You're right.

I do deserve to die.

But he won't let me

My life is so terrible, no one likes me, my family makes fun of me, blah blah

Trust me, kid

You're living a charmed life.

And your family is just playing.

Mine told me to go get a eating disorder.

So I did

I'm always depressed. Oh but I cheer up immediatly!

Hey

So am I.

And I've been living through three years of this.

Except I don't cheer up ea

I Am WishingI am wishing I wasn't alone,
That my brain would shut off,
That people would listen
When I whisper the undeniable truth.
But if no one listens
Then who the hell cares?

I am wishing that you were here
To smother my nightmares
And make me feel like I am safe.
If they can't see what I see
When I close my eyes
Then is it really there?

I am wishing that you still loved me,
That you would feel more for me
Than you do for her,
But I will never be good enough.
If you hold me and say everything is fine
Will it be a lie?

And I just wish you would say something
Because the silence screams
More truth than I can take.
And I just

I don't belong hereI don't belong
in this world full of hate
Cause it is not who I am
I don't deserve this torture

I don't belong
to live on earth anymore
cause this life was never meant to be
and I'm not worth the suffering in life

I don't belong
to be here to this day
I have given up
the need to belong

I don't think I'm strong enough
to hold onto this life that I live
I don't belong here
to be put through this torment in life

No matter what I try to do
It is never good enough
I don't belong here
it is not what I want in life

I'm Still HereI am screaming again and
Throwing my fists into my mattress.
I am laying here trying so hard
To be something more than this.

My sheets are crumpled from
Being horribly wide awake
And restlessly unconscious,
But they still smell like you.
And it is achingly cruel.

I don't believe I will die,
But I do believe in reckless behavior
Because as hard as I try I
Will never be good enough for you.

My hands don't fit in yours
But I keep trying to force them to.
And I know you will let me
Because I am weak and I
Will undress when you ask me to,
But I really hope you don't.

I am screaming again and
It shakes my bones.
I scream

MaybeYour body has been used
By all of those who are broken.
The ones who are trying to repair
Their own wounds with
No regards towards your own.

You are a hand for him to hold
While he thinks of her
And tries to forget the emptiness
And the fact that he is alone.

For a brief moment while
He is inside of you,
You feel as if you are the
Missing half of the whole,
And it is perfect.

He recites memorized lines
And you wonder who else
Has heard them before you,
But you tell yourself that
You're the first anyway.

Your body has been used
By all of those who are broken,
And you begin to wish that
Maybe,
Just maybe,
You could

I Can't Hear You Anymore

by ~DeadOrSleeping, Mar 2, 2013, 10:19:02 PM
Literature / Poetry / Emotional / Free Verse

The clouds are heavy tonight,
And I am suffocating,
Choking on my own words
As they fly from my mouth.

You never cared about yourself,
And after your death that
Became hard to think about.
(But I do anyway.)

I suddenly find myself missing
The years we had spent together
And how spider webs would form in
The corners of your eyes when you smiled.

But the thing is that I can’t hear you anymore.
I can’t remember the sound
Of your voice or the feeling of
Your hands as they touched my lips.

You once told me that home
Is where you lie,
But I hate it here, and
I hate living with these ghosts.
