As I witness the glorious sunrise,  My hopes begin to reach new heights.   
As the wind blows discreetly across my face,  I’m touched with the beauty of nature in this life.   
When the sky gets gloomy and darkens by the minute,  My mind wanders across boundaries it wishes to stay away from.   
When the raindrops begin to splatter everywhere,  My thoughts are calm yet filled with a touch of sadness.   
While the rain pours heavily onto this earth,  My feelings of despair begin to come to surface.   
When the rain stops and the stillness surrounds me,  I’
I look in the mirror,  Surprised it has not cracked.  The amount of times I have stared,  Everything it has hacked.   
The few people I have close to me,  They say I am beautiful.  But, they can never know,  Their eyes, covered by wool.   
The worst of it is at school,  My only friend is just as bad,  My distorted appearance,  It is not just a fad.   
They have dominance over me,  I have no will power left,  Nobody notices anyway,  That my life has been a theft.
You were always my shoulder to lean on  My lap to cry on  The one who always took my side  The one who always had my back  Who supported me,  Whether I was right,  Or wrong   
You were always the person I could call  My 24 hour go to girl  The one I could rely on  The one I could depend on  Who loved me,  Whether I was upset,  Or happy   
You were always my best friend  My rock  The one I could turn to  The one I could whine to  Who knew me better than I knew myself  Who loved me more than anyone  And who was willing to take on the wo
The coldest wind ever felt  Blows cold and angry and hard  Through bleak silent trees,  
Carrying dead gray ashes  On its frozen fingers.   
The dark night envelopes the world,  Wrapping deadly, endless silence  Around harsh unforgiving fires  Burning under extinct cities,  Forgotten in the light of dusk.   
Ghosts haunt echoing streets  Flitting through endless shadows,  Waiting for the dawn to break.  The Damned scream voicelessly,  Begging for the broken calm.   
And through this Hellish night,  A cry shatters the terrifying quiet.  The biti
See your blindness,  Hear your silence,  Feel the numbness  Spreading through your veins.   
Loving heartache,  Cowardly strength,  Perfect heartbreak,  Darkness shines in you.   
Speed your stillness,  Live your death-wish,  Feel the numbness  Spreading through your veins.   
Calming anger,  Heart-breaking joy,  Loving hatred,  Darkness shines in you.
I hate how much I love you,  But I can't stop loving you,  You stole my heart the minute I met you  And no matter how much I say I'm over you,  Your smile still takes my breath away,  The way your eyes always shine,  The way you never frown,  The way your huggs make me feel special.  I'll never stop loving you.   
You don't know who you are,  I doubt you ever will,  Should I someday get over you,  
I'll tell you who it was,  But untill then,  
It's my secret,  
And you'll forever be oblivious,  
Because that's who you are.   
If you're really readin
Understanding the difference between wrong and right,  
It’s a matter of perspective.  
It changes if you are made of steel.  
Or have a kiss to build a dream on.  
Or hear the aluminum cork sound in a diamond.  
 
Do you know what nemesis means?  
A righteous infliction of retribution.  
An Avenger.   
But how far, how extreme.  Revenge is a severe thing.  
A conquest, turning you into something misrepresented.     Since it was not intended for us to live for one minute,  
With reprisal in our hearts.  
   But I’ve got to be honest,
Breathing isn't so hard  when I am with you.  Other times,  I sort of forget what to do.  People think I'm stupid  but I'm just in love,  which is sometimes synonymous,  or at least not unheard of.  You help me to live  by just being you  and that's something that most people  or at least more than a few,  have trouble accepting,  that our love is true.  You and I know that it's more  than a fling,  a high school romance,  but also the real thing.  Or so we tell ourselves,  but maybe we're lying,  though I have complete confidence  that yo
hello,  you broken, twisted mess  in the ditch beside the busy highway.  please don't try to say that i pushed you love,  please don't say we didn't jump together.   
 
 
 
 
I held your hand and you held mine, mid-flight  until i felt your fingers loosen,  and maybe your mind did loose a lot  and maybe my heart did come unstuck  but i'm sure that you don't know a single fucking thing  about who i am.   
 
 
 
 
i wrote fiction,  i wrote lies for someone else until you thought they were mine  and maybe they were,  for a litt
'i wish cigarettes were good for you'   
we wrote that down on a plank of wood that would hang above all their heads. the shop was filled with a hundred wishes you can't reach, some funny and some sad and some weren't anything at all.  to me it all seemed intangible.  
 
'they wouldn't make them if they were good for you.  
everything destroys something else.'   
we flipped the plank over  
and wrote that we wished the grass was greener on the other side.  
 
'maybe it is'   
i thought about the book i'm reading and, well, you're no rabbit and i'm no wolf. we're both people and
Like a marionette I dangle  Held up only by the strings  Before you, I was my own  But you have crafted strings of lies  And tied them to my hands and feet.   
Slowly, slowly  You've taken over  Slowly, slowly  You began to control me.   
Faster, faster  Came the isolation  Faster, faster  Came those broken promises.   
Now those strings are tied  Forever locking me into your cage  And swallowing the key.   
By those lies I dangle  Like a marionette.
I cannot leave my life,  I have been sucked into this hell hole,  My wings have been bruised, dented.   
Frozen in this time frame,  I cannot take flight like the others,  My legs are held down, cemented.   
Tears are impossible,  I do not have the right sort of organs,  But my anger needs to be vented.   
Emotionally pain springs on me,  As I see my companions above,  Soon, I will be going demented.   
I want to be gone from here,  I want the breeze on myself,  I want to be scented.
I put my hands in my pockets and  
tell you I don't want to look at you anymore.  
You tell me I never saw you anyway.  
And usually something like this would make me cry,  
today I just want to break your jaw.  
Because I hate what you've turned me into and  
I hate what we've become.   
I was putting on mascara when  
you told me it wouldn't help.  I told you no amount of makeup  could cover the scars you have given  
so unselfishly  to me.  You told me I was playing the victim.  I told you this wasn't a game  but you're winning.   
You turned the page
Blood is in her mouth, salt is on her tongue,  And she retches once, twice, body convulsing  As she falls to her knees, dizzy for a moment.   
Bare skin scraped by needles hidden among the dirt. Hair matted with filth.  Her chest burns, labouring with the shuddering sounds of one  Who’s run too fast, too frightened.   
High-pitched gasps as she picks herself up,  
Lithe body slowly bending upwards with only slightly broken form.  The vigor of youth existent even in her current state -  Toes sliding against fallen pine, brushing against roots and rocks and stones.  Cuts and gashe
the mirror's lying to you  
this is not what you've become  
stop trying to make it all roll off  
 
so fragile you could break from just a simple touch  
everyday it seems you'll disappear  
but i never want to see you gone  
 
bones protruding, veins showing  blood boiling, tears flowing  arms up in the air as you scream out "it's not fair"  
 
you watch the other girls  
then shove your finger down your throat  
there's no satisfaction of a job well done  
 
you wonder "why am i so ugly?"  
pick at the skin, destroy the body  God has always thought yo
It’s like finding your way in the dark.  You can’t, can you?  Not without the presence of light,  To guide you through places you thought were never there.   
Now what if in the middle of discovery,  That light was suddenly, abruptly, gone.  Leaving you even more lost then you could have ever imagined.  What would you do then?   
You’d wander around like a helpless child.  Feeling around every crook, every corner,  Searching desperately for something to set you free  To light your way through darkness once again.   
Maybe you could have avoided it altoge
Star Quality   
The aging physicist, himself  a batch of random luminary stew,  sits at his tattered mahogany desk,  still cogitating, less confounded.  He is worn from decades of calculating,  but somehow comforted by the sound  a turning page makes.  The sound of  slow promise and of hope.  He can almost  see air, defiant loudmouth molecules  daring him to solve all of it.  Faster!  Practice to perfection in smooth fluid movement,  like an actor playing the part he was born for.  Flawless.  He still wonders if all this

Hello again unwelcome clarity  Walking through my forgotten unlocked door  Demanding acknowledgement while pouring her coffee  Black  Dragging yesterday’s dirt across the carpet  Feet up on the table  Smiling that devil’s smile  
While I clean up the mess she made  Stains  And scars that refuse to be scrubbed clean  Alcohol to cleanse the wounds  Only to find it laced with the poison of her memories  Leaving  But never the way she came in  Always through another hole  Torn through the crumbling walls of this old heart  And when the dust settles I’m
I am its maker and creator  The young woman's love maker  But I never touched her  Had too much respect  Wasn't gonna do that   
No, I told her who liked her  And boom it happened  It created, and I berated  Myself for my jaded-ness   
No, and now I just  Destroyed it  Ruined it, rhymed it  with a line long sung  And it fluttered away  Like all the fools will say   
I broke my lady's heart  Without even a start
I could not wake,  stagnate in the puddles  of remission.   
A slow stutter of  words erupted from  my downward spiral.   
A word, one simple word,  stands out in the fog.  A line or two emerges.   
There is one word,  I shall never forget,  nor ever miss.  
 
You won't catch me  in the swirls of a tree,  missing my precious left ear.   
You won't catch me  in a field of wheat,  with a loaded breath of misery.   
He awakens curiosity,  
evokes passion,  
and shines through the mist.   
A single life lived
When you say  
"Love is just a chemical reaction"  Oh, I beg to differ sir  For her heart beats  At a rate no drug could induce  And would that mean  He would fall for any girl  
who walks his way?   
Love is no chemical reaction  Its a feeling, a thought, an action  Are you in the middle of that action?  Leave his heart in fractions,  
Leave dear, run,  
Leave to someone a bit more enticing   
When he says  "Love is just a chemical reaction"  Do you beg to differ?  Does your heart still beat  At a rate not only introduced  
to any guy to
I've fallen into shadows  and the cold's slipping in  So I'm putting on my cement shoes  and the fishies are a makin' room  for now I'll lay me down to sleep  and into darksome dreams I'll slip  as I take the long walk off the short pier
What is true magic  Something that makes your eyes blink in disbelief  Is it something you read in a fairy tale  Or is magic in a simple form of  A hug from a beloved friend  Or as complex as a childs birth  Some believe Magic is something that a magician does  Me? No I believe magic is real just my form of magic is different  Getting or giving a hug is a small pinch of magic  But to feel real magic only happens a few times in your life  Feeling the joy of reading your first book  Makeing your first friend  Feeling your fist hug  Getting your first kiss  Falling in love &nb
