I'm sorry

And in that moment I wonder
Did I scare you away?
Will you ever look at me the same?
Am I so different from all the other girls?
Did I cross a line?

oh god...
Do you hate me?
I love you
Don't you know that?
Why can't I make you see

Perfection
You're perfect for me
Oh.. I'm sorry
I shouldn't have said that
I'm sorry

Reality

Sky full of stars
    But all I see are broken hearts
The wind's blowing leaves
    Like a whisper it says "too late"
The suns gone down
    leaving me in his darkness

Why can't the wind pick me up
    Carry me away
Why can't the rain fall on me
    Wash away this pain
Why can't the sun light up this world of mine
    Chase away the permanent nightmares

On top of a building I feel the wind blow
    Feeling like a feather
The cars rush below me, look at them go
    They don't care
That the city appears to go on forever
    No one stops just to stare

Take in all that's around you
    Before it's too late...
Don't let your sorrows drown you
    banish the hate... Too late
Forever becomes a reality
    When you feel loves cold embrace.

The rose

My skin crawls
The shadow people call to me
It's a dream come true
But not one of those normal dreams
A nightmare
A million eyes watch me
Appearing on my walls
As one becomes a physical being
It steps forward to speak to me
"You're an old and young soul,
Perfect and unnatural,
A wonderful mix of all that is"
I burst in to tears
"Is this my end?"
"Yes" He reaches for my hand
I don't want to take it yet
I think about life
It's beautiful and cruel
Even the prettiest flowers die eventually
But I am far from being the prettiest flower
So why do I deserve to live?
Because I know to acknowledge the pretty flowers?
I don't want to follow this shadow
But I know I will have to
I can't think of a reason I need to be here still
"Can I have one more day?" I plead with him
After a minute he agrees
Leaving me with a smile
And a wonder of whether it happened or not
For a moment I think it's just a dream
Until I look down and notice the rose tattooed upon my arm
It's a reminder with each dying petal that my time is coming
And the reminder that he will return
Keeps me up all night.

Something new

Every day is an adventure
Made only for those prepared to explore
There are traps and tripping hazards
Placed on the path before you
If you walk without looking you  will surly fall

Each day is a battle
We all have our scars to show
They glow under the black light of our hearts
There to remind us that last time it was a mistake
This time won't be any different

Every day we run the risk
That a friend will turn their back on us
But those friends are easily replaced
Because after all
Why keep fake people around

Every day is an challenge
Filled with every day decisions
A new test every day
But at least we learn
It's a beautiful thing we do

Every day is an adventure
Full of battles
And risks
And challenges
But at least we have learned something new.

What happens when I go on a poem generator at 3am [Lover]

We were best friends
And I will tell you before this poem ends
Why I am happy now
So happy that... Meow
What was that all about
You're wondering what I'm on now no doubt

I wrote this poem already
The format was pretty steady
And the rhyme scheme was worse
But I killed it while changing a verse
So here I am again
Writing this time as if at a ten

But here's why I started
at one point we parted
And I missed my best friend
Worried that all we had, had come to an end
three months felt like forever
When we weren't together

I think it was healthier for us that way
What can I say
In that time we grew up a lot
Each with a love not easily bought
Seeing you again after all that time
Was worth the mountain I had to climb

And now our friendship has changed
We are no longer estranged
I can look in to your eyes
And time just flies
I guess it's time for this poem to end
I love you, my lover, and best friend

My forever friend

My best friend for three years
You always wanted to be with me
We finally took the plunge
Was it worth all the fighting
And the break up that crushed me
Is it worth the hate I feel growing some days
That is covered up by the love I feel for you
Is it worth my tears every time I think of you
A learning experience they call it
What did we learn?
That eventually all good things come to an end?
Because that's all I am getting from this.

When I said you ruined everything I wasn't being fair
We ruined everything
For example...
Cuddling you has forever been ruined
Hugging you will never be the same
The song I wrote about you makes me cry now...
All the I love yous feel like a lie.
And why?
Because we insisted on being more
We broke what was a perfect friendship
In the name what we called love
At the sake of our perfect friendship.

Whenever you smile at me now
It feels like a slap in the face
I retreat to a corner in my brain and cry
Scumbag brain says
"Look at that smile, it used to be just for you"
At some point I fell in love with you
I don't remember when it was
But I remembered to tell you everyday
I didn't want you to forget...
And now we're back to friends
So here's 1400 letters to you
My forever friend

We may have ruined everything.
But at least we ruined it together...

A Night Sky Between Us

Looking in to the night sky,
I've never felt so alone.
There isn't a soul in sight,
Minus my 3 legged dog sniffing a bush next to me.
The world is quiet strangely,
And I can't help but notice,
I want to be next to him,
But the wind tells me to stand still.
Feeling like I will grow mad in the silence,
I let the world back in,
No longer fearing its sounds.
"I love you" I whisper in to the darkness,
Knowing that no one can hear me.
I feel in my heart that I just needed to say it.
I wonder for a second if he is thinking of me as well,
Casting the idea aside,
I call to my dog, and I walk home.

I don't know why

Sometimes I hate myself
I don't really know why
I just do

Sometimes I cry
I don't know why
I just do

Sometimes I hate who I am
I always know why
It has something to do with you

Sometimes I cry
And sometimes I know why
Tonight it's because I miss you

This isn't fair

Pay no mind to this shadow across my eyes
I know how much she means to you
I'll take a step back and let her have you
I understand when I have lost

She is better than me, I know it.
Self esteem shattered, fuck it.
Dreams crashed and burned, I don't care.
You love her, how is this fair.

I'll pretend that you holding my hand
Was like an extra long handshake for friends
The loving words you said
Were meant for her or I just misread them

She's nicer than me, that's laughable.
Hearts broken, my tears show it.
I'm crushed, and you don't care.
She doesn't love you, this isn't fair.

No answered prayers

I've cried enough tears
To fill the oceans with salt
Bled all the blood
That I had to bleed
All in your name lord
So why have you forgotten me
Should I sit and be quiet for a while
Maybe
Or maybe I should just give up
Say hey maybe God doesn't exist
But what if he does
Then I would be wrong...
Would it be worth it
I don't know
But all I know is
I am questioning everything
And getting no answers...
I pray every night and every day
But all I get is silence
And a slap in the face
Over and over
I'm fighting with reality
And praying
But none of the prayers are answered...

Someone

There are tears in her eyes
And blood on her arms
She needs someone

There are tears in his eyes
And her bloods on his hands
He was that someone

There are tears in her eyes
And she is holding him
She wants him to be her one

There are tears in his eyes
and a note in his hands
He wants to be her one

There are tears in their eyes
Because everyone needs someone
But no one knows who that is...

Fading to Nothing

What am I doing here?
Can someone tell me?
Anyone?
I honestly don't know...
The people all around me
They look at me
With such sadness in their eyes
I don't know why their crying
Can someone answer me
I don't know why they don't answer me...
Why are you sad? I try to yell
No sound comes out
Am I deaf?
Mute?
I wish I was blind...
Then maybe I wouldn't see these tears
Hear these people crying
Why can't I call out to them
Maybe they just can't hear me
The smells in here are so confusing
I don't know what's going on
I hear a beeping and it starts getting faster
I'm scared
I don't know why
I feel so numb
Why is everyone here?
I don't know
Can someone tell me?
Anyone?
In the distance I hear a lots of beeping
As everything starts to fade.

Maybe One Day

This distance is crazy
My feet are so damn sore
From walking to you every night
You just take one look at me
And then you shut the door in my face
I don`t know why I keep coming back to you
You told me to leave a year or so ago
But I guess I like this pain
Because I keep coming back for more
At one time you called me daughter
Told me you loved me every day
For some reason I believed you
Even though I could hear the scorn in your voice
One day father I hope
Maybe one day you'll let me back in.

The Things I Could Do

I could climb the tallest mountain
To prove that i love you
But I'm tired from the battle
So i think I'll stay right here for a while

I could cry all the tears of the sea
To show you how sad I am to see you leave
But my eyes have become dry 
So I think I'll try to smile for a while

I could sit on a cliff and feel safe
If you sat there beside me 
But you've let me fall once before
So I think I'll stand on solid ground for a while

There are many things I could do for you
But the battle has me beaten and sad
So I think I'll just live for me for a while
Let you fight for me now instead.

For One Night


A warm breeze blows my hair
The stars glow brightly above
I walk towards the sound of water
I can hear the beauty all around me
Even if I can't see it
It's better this way I think
I can imagine what the beauty looks like
Pretend it isn't destroyed like it is
The gravel beneath my feet used to be grass
The smell in the air used to be clean
Now all I can smell is burning all around me
But it's nice to pretend
That the reason I can't see the moon
Is because of the trees that aren't around me anymore
And not because of the smoke that has filled the sky
It's nice to pretend
Just for one night.

Change Your Mind

You say you stand for something
You tell others to believe in themselves
Yet I come home every day
See the cuts crawling up your arm
The drugs are in your system
So you just laugh it off and avoid your new "friends"
In a couple days you'll go back
Say "I relapsed, please forgive me"
Then you'll go a couple days
Telling yourself "I'm better, I can do it this time"
In a few days you'll open the bottle again
Take a couple and laugh some more
Or maybe you'll fill your pipe
Take a couple hits and eat till you fall down
Only then you'll call yourself fat and the cuts will grow
The days without eating will start to show
Your friends will ask questions
Your family will try to help
But you've locked yourself in a box
Built up the walls and convinced yourself this is the right way
You find your little bottle
Swallow whats left
Lick your finger and get whats left on the bottom
Make sure you got it all
Because you think you made the right choice don't you
You start to laugh like you always do
Then the world starts to go black and you get cold
You're scared now aren't you
I wish I could have changed your mind
Come here, I'll hold you till the ambulance gets here
No don't worry I called them when I heard you laughing
They will be here soon
It'll all be over soon
Never forget dearest one
"I love you"

The hardest thing I do

Sitting in this meadow
I feel you touch my hand with yours
Pulling away from you is the hardest thing I do
As all around us the rain pours

I look up in to your eyes one last time
And see the hurt that I have caused
Walking away from you is the hardest thing I do
And in that moment I wish I hadn't paused

You take me by the hand
Pull me close and hug me like you never had before
In this moment I feel the tears in my eyes
I can't hide them from you so you just hug me more

I wish I could promise you forever
But we both know that can't be
Forever is just a dream
And unfortunately for us it was one I had for you and me

Memories Of You

My hands tremble
As I reach for you
My voice waivers
As I call to you
My mind races
As I think of you

You scare me
And make me feel safe
You make me happy
And sad
You said you wouldn't leave
And you did

My hands tremble
As I let go
My voice waivers
As I say good-bye
My mind races
With memories of you

You made me so happy
And your memories still do
You said you wouldn't leave
And you did

Gone

I got so used to you being here
That it feels weird that you're gone
I think of holding your hand and
Feel your touch once again
But when I look down
You're gone

I got so used to you holding me
As we fell asleep in my bed at night
I think of your laugh
Sometimes I think I hear it at night
I turn on the light so I can see you
You're gone

I got so used to you loving me
Hearing you say my name
The music in your voice
Some say I should let go
I don't want to but I know
You're gone

I will never stop loving you
Even though you're in a better place
Sometimes I wish that you weren't gone
You were my best friend and lover
And I would love to see you just one more time
You're gone


Tuesday, March 13, 2012

We could

Lets hold hands
Forget the world for a day
We could go anywhere
Or we could stay right here

Lets do something, anything
And forget the world for a while
We could be each others answer
To a question no one bothered to ask

Lets be friends, best friends, maybe more
And not tell a soul
We could love one another
And no one would have to know

Lets hold hands
And forget the world for a day
Because no one matters but you and me

Monday, March 12, 2012

Oh well

Hearing you say her name
Will that ever become easy?
I die inside a little every time
Because sometimes I wish that was me
That you still cared about
And sometimes I wish you still wanted to hold my hand

But then I think of him
And the feeling fades
Because I know that it's just
A knee-jerk reaction
And it will soon go away
Just like you did

And I'm happier now with him
Then I ever was with you
He makes me smile every day
I smile just at the mention of his name
You had your chance and you lost it
And considering where I am right now

And considering who I am with now
There's only so much I can say
So lets start with
Just a couple of my favourites

Oh well...

All I know

I swear this is the truth
And nothing more
I truly do care about you
That's all I know

I know this is true
Because I can't get
You outta my head
That's all I know

I feel this is true
We could have a future
Cause you make me smile
That's all I know

I want this to be true
You're mine to hold
Cause it's what feels right
That's all I know

You're all I know

Long before good-bye

It hurt more then I thought,
To hear her saying your name.
It's not that I still love you,
Because I don't.
But I should have seen the red flags,
Like when you stopped holding my hand,
Whenever someone else was there.
When a solid "I love you"
turned into a quiet "I love.. you..."
You didn't think I knew,
But you stopped loving me,
Long before you said good-bye.

Pain

No one knows your pain
The way that I do
I can feel each cut on your arm
Like it was on my own

No one knows your hurt
The way that I do
I can feel each tear on your cheek
Like they were my own

No one knows your hate
The way that I do
I can feel each angry thought you think
Like they are my own

No one knows your smile
The way that I do
I can almost see it
Like you're standing right with me right now

No one knew you
The way that I did
But you didn't notice
Or you wouldn't have left...

A lie

I've hurt to many people
I can hear their screams in the night
They haunt me
With every word I say...
...Every lie
I die a little more inside
Because I know I hurt another person

Add another soul to the board
She killed another
That's what the devil says
Whenever I speak a word
A lie
Because the truth is to revealing
And my walls won't allow one out

I've hurt to many people
I can hear their screams at night
As the devil takes another life

Human

She is a bright girl
Yes
But also quite slow
I guess...

The things her friends say about her
They don't know it hurts
Because she is "slow"
She just tries to work through it

She is a great friend
Yes
But not always there...
Okay...

She struggles with family problems
And sometimes becomes distant
She just needs to work through this one thing
Then she'll be fine again

She is a role model
Yes
But not always
umm, okay..?

She tries her hardest to be someone
That kids can look up to
Someone she never had as a kid
But some people don't see it

She is human

On some level

Love
 Originality
  Variety
    Experiences

Everyday is a new experience so remember
Variety is the spice of life
Originality is what makes us... well us
Love is what we live for

Because people love us
Our originality
Our personality
We can love us... one another to maybe

We can Live
Because everyone is Original
People have Variety and personality
People are Exceptional

And everyone is different
Including you and I
Lets be different together maybe?
And then one day

Love on some level
Will find us.

Stop...

I've been told to follow
  Follow my heart
  My dreams
  This person or the next

It's like I am playing a lifelong game
A version of Simon says
I'm just following a leader
Just doing what I am told

I've been told to dream
Been told to live them
And in that same breath
They tell me to give up and go home

And the broadest of all
I should follow my heart?
Let it get me into trouble
So people can tell em to do something else

The thing with people is
They always tell you what to do
Never really let you live your life
Let you use your own brain

Stop dreaming and do
Stop listening and think for yourself
Stop following and go
Stop hating and love <3

The crows


The crows come out at night
Just to watch you sleep
Clawing at your windows
Trying to wake you up.

The crows come out at night
just to make you scream
Shadows crawling across the wall
Watching you while you dream.

The crows come out at night
Following you down the street
All you hear is the flap of wings
Making your heart skip a beat.

The crows come out at night
Watching, hoping you'll scream
Laughter follows you away
As the crows infect your dreams.

Hate me


Cry, because I am evil
Fight, because it's as physical as we get now
Run, because there's no other way out
Scream, because someone might hear you
Hate me, because I gave you a reason right
Call me, because no one else will come
Use me, because I'll let you
But don't hate me because I was there
Hate me because I left...

My baby sister...


She's fragile
But she doesn't show it
She could break any minute
But she lives without caution
Stepping on the cracks sometimes

She's my baby sister
I couldn't imagine life without her in it
Sometimes she lives with care
And sometimes she's just carefree
And I love her so

She builds up all these walls
And even though it's a struggle
She climbs the wall
And builds another on the other side
Just to do it all over again

She's so fragile
And I would do anything for her
Even though she doesn't show it
She could break any minute
I would do anything for her

I fell...

He said I was beautiful
He said I was smart
He said I was perfect
He built a beautiful pedestal for me
And he demanded that I not fall off
But I did of course and it hurt
Because he walked away from the broken pieces
Sighing and shaking his head
Mumbling something like "I knew it..."
I sat and cried for a minute
To startled to realize
I still had the legs to get up and walk away
The eyes to see where I needed to go
The heart within my chest beating to let me know "you're alive so live"
The hand and arms to hold things and people close
The friends to keep me company when I was unperfect
And the will to say "no, no I'm perfect just the way I am"

«If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.» — Martin Luther King Jr.

Don't


Don't shed a tear for me
I'm not worth all the salt in the sea
Or even the salt in this salt shaker

Don't follow me please
I'm not worth the bumps in the long road ahead
Not even the wrinkles on this page

Don't look at me
I'm not worth all the pictures in the world
Not even this mirror on this wall

Don't talk to me
I'm not worth all the words in the world
Not even a simple hello

Don't think about me
I'm not worth all the thoughts in the world
Not even one about what my name is

And whatever you do
Don't bleed for me
I'm not even worth one drop

Not For The Credit

For those you love
You would go the extra mile
Just to go the extra mile
Not for the credit
But for the satisfaction

You would want tell everyone
About that person
Just to let the world know they exist
Not for the credit in knowing them
But for the satisfaction

That person fills your heart with joy
And your stomach with butterflies
And you tell people about this feeling
Not for the credit that you're in love
But for the satisfaction

You always want to be with that person
And their touch sends sparks down your spine
So you make sure you're near them as often as possible
Not for the credit
But for the satisfaction
