A CONSTELLATION OF SCARSUpon my skin I have carved Star after Star,
sewn together in this abused tissue and misused sinew
they chart the path I had taken, a Constellation of Scars
glimmer on my skin, slices of silver that whisper too few
earthbound eclipses for me to see by, but I stitch a reply
with the 39 pinpricks of light that escape my veins,
was Virgo with me that Night when my maidenhead cried?
Did she cry too when I tried to rescue my maiden's remains
from being a sacrifice to Solstice Fires? Artemis was there,
but in the aftermath so was Regret and Remorse I realized,
so now I carve Star after Star in my flesh no longer fair,
a Constellation of Scars hauntiA CONSTELLATION OF SCARS3 days ago in Free Verse

you're beautifulyou're beautiful.
You're a book full of words…
Invisible words.
you're a mystery.
I try to read between the lines,
Take a peek beneath your smile…
But I cannot see.
I’m too scared to blink
Afraid of missing something.
I want to sneak into your mind
Just listen to you think.
What goes on in there?
You walk with your head bowed…
Why won’t you let me look into your eyes?
I need you to Look up for a moment.
I need one glance,
Just hold still, give me a chance.
Please…
You’re different from all the other boys
I need to know what’s in your heart
May I come in?
I won’t knock too hard

Secret On My LeftIt's my bearer of pain,
My fear of the stars.
A sin that's committed
But pushed very far.
Far from our minds
Not clouding our wits.
But it's something that's clear;
Who could ignore slit wrists?

Yes it is true,
So woeful my crime.
If only I were paid-
Each scar made a dime.
Thankfully I would not be so rich
Only few here on my left.
Only a five or so made,
But not worth my regret.

I can't ignore them-
Those glimmering two.
Those two on the left
That are more than over-due.
The others have gone,
They've faded away.
But these two remain
Clear as the day.

Speaking of day
It makes them shine and contrast.
There's no way of forgetting

He loves me, he loves me not.He loves me.
The petal falls.
You lean calmly
Against a wall.

He loves me not.
You laugh a bit
A funny thought:
That he would quit.

He loves me.
You smile again
As you think of
Your best friend.

He loves me not.
You're running out.
You tell yourself
Each petal counts.

He loves me.
You relax some now.
The words calm you.
You're not sure how.

He loves me not.
Your heart's racing.
You leave the wall.
You begin pacing.

He loves me.
It can't be right.
The last petal.
This ends tonight.

He loves me not.
But there's no strife.
A silly flower
Can't rule your life.He loves me, he loves me not.6 days ago in Free Verse

Cascading DarkThis sensation persists in my heart.
Lingers like a stubborn bitterness on the back of the tongue.
Distantly foul, yet so familiar I can’t remember a time when I didn’t taste it.

It’s cold and synthetic.
Mathematical and metallic.
Yet I find myself fantasizing about it tasting organic and sweet.
[ Mandarin honey in the place of corroded steel. ]
Though I am unable to convince myself,
and the same taste, the same fear, settles back into me.

The fear that to you, thoughts of me are tasteless.
Neither sweet nor bitter, but rather clear and empty as pure water.
A manifestation of complete nothingness,
While here I am loCascading Dark1 week ago in Free Verse

Release MeI've tried for so long now
To build myself back up
What is it all for though?
When I can’t seem to get over
The things I've done in the past…
Why can I not let this go?
Must I torture myself so?
Just let it end, that’s all I want
How long must I continue like this
Before I have made up for my past?
Just let today be the day
The day I let it all go
And accept with grace
All that has been given to me
All that I feel I don’t deserve
Let today be the day I embrace it….
Please………just let it happen….Release Me2 days ago in Free Verse

Lets GoThere's nothing here for us
Let's just turn our backs
Just grab my hand, lets go
Where no one can put us down
Where everyday, it isn't a struggle
Just grab my hand, I need you here by my side
I wouldn't be here with anybody else
Lets go, go far away
No turning back
There's nothing here for us
Grab my hand
Look at me and then look ahead
At something bright, at something new
Something for us
And you grab my hand and bring me forward

DenialI don't like you.
I don't want you.
I won't fall in love with you.

I won't think about you constantly.
I won't notice the way your eyes shine when you look at me.
I won't feel all warm and fuzzy inside when you smile.

I don't want to hear sweet words of endearment fall from your lips.
I won't think about how kissable they are.

I don't want to run my fingers through your hair, or hold your hand, or lean on your shoulder.

I won't think about how well we fit together dancing, or making love.

I won't plan a future with you.
I won't dream about our wedding, or what our children would look like.

You are loved.In my opinion, suicide is a very, very selfish thing.
There are few instances where I would find it appropriate.
You leave so many of the people who love you.
Wondering if it was their fault.
If it was something they had said.
If they could have done something to help.
So many questions.
Questions that can only be answered by one person.
And that one person is dead.
All because you thought there was no other way out.
That your life wasn't worth living.
That no one would care, anyway.
When really it's the exact opposite.
There's always at least one person that cares.
So much heartbreak.
Let me just say, that you are worth it.
You are beautiful.
You are loved.

End of my storyYou don’t remember me
I don’t remember me as well

I love to hurt myself
It feels like I am alive

I keep living in hell
But I like it anyway

Blood keeps running on my lips
And I love this salty iron taste

I push the knife deeper
I like how it’s feeling

My heart makes music
My soul is still breathing

Forgive me, love
Forgive and forget

Don’t keep these memories
Let them go

You can’t be treasuring

Don't Tell MeDon't tell me what you think I want to hear,
just tell me what really is in your heart.
I don't want to hear things that aren't true,
but tell me things that are real and good.
This is truly what I want to hear from you.

Don't show me what you think I want to see,
for what you are showing has no reality to it.
Don't jive me with illusions you know are fake,
but let me see what you really have to offer.
This is truly what I want to see from you.

Don't tell me "sweet little lies" in my face,
for lies are never truly sweet, but sour.
Just tell my what your heart truly feels for me,
that is what I must ask you to be faithful in.

Wars and BirdsTo all the birds that cried in vain
-let us not think of the past,
but instead think of how the sun rises.
The how and why is unknown,
yet we still try because our graves are not set in stone.
We may not know who we are now,
but are reflections do, and they are just.
At the end of the battle no bird was ever left unworn,
but they held peace within their scars.
Dusk never fell on those who saw,
but waited until the sun hit their backs.Wars and Birds3 days ago in Free Verse

Freak of NatureSlut.

Just a phase.

She’s looking for attention.

It’s curiosity.

To those that say words don’t hurt

They hurt, more than any bruise

Because they damage the heart.

To those who tell us to speak up

Who forget that we’re still gagged

Not by fraying rope or worn tape

But by cruelty and whispers and chains of paper rules.

To those who tell us the world’s changed

That all those people are ready for us

Ready for us to break free from our gags

Like a butterfly from its chrysalis

And fly on our rainbow wings.

They’re wrong.

We live in a circus world

A world of strong men

A world of lion tamers

PretendLights went out and we stayed awake,
Using flashlights and blanket sheets.
I thought we could avoid what was at stake,
It doesn’t help when we’re all turning cheeks.
I’m sorry for every little mistake,
I’ve been empty for almost eight weeks.
I chose every bad decision I could make,
All for the contentedness of another freak.

Can we play pretend and be kids again,
Watch movies rated G
Hurting everyone was something I didn’t intend...
I just wanted everyone to be happy...
I just wanted the fighting to end...
We were stumbling around blindly.
It’s like we rely on it and depend...
And it’s not something Pretend4 days ago in Free Verse

Alone And AfraidI am alone and afraid
I wonder if the pain will ever go away
I hear the happiness around me
I see the shadows
I want to feel wanted
I am alone and afraid

I pretend that I am ok
I feel like no one cares
I touch the hand of the one who cares
I worry that everything wont be ok in the end
I cry when no one is there
I am alone and afraid

I understand im not meant to be ok
I say nothing will change
I dream that it will work out
I try to make it better
I hope this pain will leave

Fallingmy words feeding the negativity once again storing its feast upon my flesh absorbing the root of its maker pouring itself into my rib cage clutching within myself decomposing in the mist of it all belittling my soul with the spoils of doubt and defeat counting the days to my last breath with life so hard to see the bottle half full with jack daniels sinking within the darkness caressing away the threshold of my depression pulling away at my organ bursting into beautiful hues shedding red tears upon the floor splattering my true nature once again empty hollow human dragged around the pressure of staying true to her essence and state of a deranged loner fighting with the monster inside of herself destroying the bit of confidence she could ever spell with admiration laughing at the world while she's on edge waiting to taste the asphalt of the ground crushing her into rumble and seeing beauty in the breakdown Falling4 days ago in Free Verse

Tell Me A Fairy TaleTell me a fairy tale
about a man and woman who fall in love
and nothing stops them from finding a way to be together.
Not even 1,082 miles.

Tell me a fairy tale
all about how when they finally meet
its love at first sight
and it made the struggle worth it.

Tell me a fairy tale
that recollects the night
when they finally fell asleep side by side
and woke in the morning no longer feeling lonely.

Tell me a fairy tale
where she finally felt understood
and he stuck around
even when life turned ugly.

Tell me a fairy tale
and be sure to include the night
where they run off and come back in the morning married

Backstabber!I don't know how this started
And I don't really want to.
I don't need to know that to see
Who crossed the line
Who aimed beneath the belt
And backstabbed a trusting heart.
Are you happy now?
A fragile soul was stumbling,
The vision clouded by doubts.
The light in such dark hours
The crutch on shaking ground
Are rare treasures in this world
You successfully used them as disguise
Are you happy now?
When someone has nothing left
Except for those who give their best
To find reasons to hold on one more day
To withstand the deadly siren once more
When all there is are true friends
And you take away the trust
What will happen now? Guess...Backstabber!5 days ago in Free Verse

Glass CageI'm stuck in a glass cage

Where everyone can see

But can they really see? Do they see what you do to yourself?

I can't escape

Break free and die, they say

You would know. You have the scars from the last attempts to leave

I want to leave

What's ahead?

Please stay forever, darling.

But

I can stay

Just one more day for him.Glass Cage5 days ago in Free Verse
