(revised) this is a collection of mostly dark, angsty poetry i wrote years ago. free-verse |
To Die for the Sake of Life I watch a shimmer of light bounce off the blade in my hand and think of the reason for living in the first place I watch the kids around me from the shadows, see them live their happy lives with the ones they love I envy them and loath them with every fiber of my being I hate them for it, for being happy, having friends, living the life i am not aloud to have I see the light of the moon reflected in the deep waters beneath me and slowly lay down on the diving board in my back yard I watch the light of the stars shine down on me making the crimson red liquid flowing down my arm glimmer and shine I see the stars above me flicker and fall to the ground I listen to the trickle of my life drip into the pool below and suddenly i begin to float I open my eyes, not entirely sure when i closed them in the first place, and marvel at the wonders of life beyond life turning around i looked at them all surrounding my old form and and watch as the red sea of life steadily grew I looked on before the angels closed my eyes and then i was gone ..................................................................................................................................... The Trigger to Salvation Here i am falling into this dark obis surrounding me to the point where i can't breathe Seeing the people i love all around me, i call out for help and watch as they all turn away I look down to my hand to see the gun and the trigger to my salvation by my finger Raising it to my head, i pull and wake with a start to see the moon glaring at me through the open window As the taunting sound of thunder reaches my ears from the back of my mind, pulling me towards it I run as fast as my legs will allow, away from the blackness threatening to again take over my thoughts It surrounded my legs, preventing me from running any further and slowly dragged me back The edges of my sight turned black as it captured me, preventing me from reaching the light i so desperately try to see every time So here i am again, surrounded by this dark obis with the trigger to my salvation in my hand ..................................................................................................................................... To Melt in Your Arms what is it about you that makes me melt in your arms? you like to yell and call me names you walked away from our childish games you ignore my thoughts and put down my opinions then crush my hope with out condition you brake my heart when you go to see her and make me cry when i look in the mirror but no matter what you do, i still love you what is it about you that makes me melt in your arms? i'm always in danger, an incredible cluts but you're always there to heal my cuts i trust the untrustworthy and get us in trouble but there you are expecting my fumble i always crack jokes, trying to be cunning you say you hate it but i hear you laughing you don't seem to know that with just one look i can read you like a book what is it about you that makes me melt in your arms? you always hide and push me away you're bitter and angry every day i know of your past, much more than you think i see what they do and never once blink i know why you are the way you are why every day you seem so far i'm not going to ask for all of your heart, my only wish is to just have part |
