SilenceQuiet

There is nothing that we can tell each other

We just stand there
staring at each other

We wonder what had happened

We used to have so much to say
we had so much to laugh

but now there is just silence

and we turn around and
walk away
...in different directions

Hoping that we'll never meet again

Everything seem said

and it's over, we're done with it

Silver TidesWhen I reached that silver shore, I was broken.
My skin, burnt by the sun and bruised.
My hair, tangled with salt and drenched.
My body was tired, and when I reached the shore—
It was my enemy, the sea that brought me there.
Sand hugged my body, attacking all my salt stung wounds.
As I stood up, the sun sent rays of hope instead of fire.
And the waves retreated, only to crash onto me once again.

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

Automatic"Darling"

You say

In perfect syncopation with

Glass shattering in my bloodstream

"I'm sorry"

Rasping

Captivating

Nauseating

Distance and indifference

Bleeding through the wallpaper

As I bend silver hair clips into geometric nonsense

"For everything."

Your fingerprints indelible on my jawline

"I was never"

The taste of ammunition

"Angry at you."

As raw broken bones

Fractured clear through the marrow.

Thank You For BreathingI’m that trickle down your neck last week when you got upset.
That friend you’ve never met;
That kid you teased for being a teachers pet.
That kid who stays quiet when you get on his nerves;
The one who never got picked first;
The best at being last; Never been late for class; never got noticed for staying on task.
Know that’s there’s something special about being different.
I can’t explain it; not sure if it’s a gift or curse. It’s
Something about it makes me want to pick up a pen and write verses.
I feel like maybe God entrusted this mission to us; something more than Church.
Something more tha

I'm the little girlI'm the little girl
who doesn't sleep very well

I'm the little girl
Who writes in the dark

I'm the little girl
Who barely see's what's going down

I'm the little girl
With the pills in her hand
who doesn't know what it's like to be gone

ForgottenIt's rainy inside my heart
Now that you've gone away
You've torn my soul apart
And my life became grey.

I love you more than life
Please come back to me,
I need you to survive
Or just set me free.

I'm just an empty corpse
Now that you walked away
I just want to forget
This is for what I pray.

406when I opened my eyes,
everything had changed.

people smiled & laughed &
they looked through me
as 1 looks through a
stained glass window.

my eyes were raw,
my skin was shiny & new.

I woke
and I was no longer needed

but I was wanted
& that was my happiness.

There's No ForeverYou have been rejected so many times
But you keep getting back up
Because you think
There’s someone out there for you
I honestly don’t know why you try so hard
For it’s just going to make it that much worse

So why do you say love’s forever
Because as long as I am here
I will say that there’s no forever
So there’s no reason to get so excited
Because when you think that you
Have nothing to lose
You really have nothing to gain

I can only see the misery getting worse
But you refuse to let me help you
Because you think that my words are untrue
So all I can do is sit back and watch
While you continue to get m

Wonderland

I tell you Wonderland exists. I've seen it with my own mad eyes, cats with smiles, plants as big as your head and bigger than the things inside it. I've seen Alice as she runs with me, oh we never stop running, running, running. Ask me a riddle and I will always answer correct, even if the asker says it is not. For he fails to see that everything can do anything, and my answer is everything. They say madness is a disease and yet I see it giving you freedom of reality. I'm always happy that I see the right way round. Because I'm always off my head.

ShadowsA chill descends upon me,
Icy shivers creep down my spine,
Senses aware of wrongfull things,
Though clarity is not in mind.

A feeling of watchful gaze,
Paranoia sets images in motion,
Cinema real plays horrors fortold,
In a wakened state of subconcious notion.

Fear drives my forward momentum,
Quickening pace without speed or haste,
Crippling dread prevents me glancing,
Reliant on hearing my only defence.

Squirming through the thick silence,
Flinching at every miniscule sound,
Terror at thoughts of a violent demise,
As if paralised by fear abound.

Reaching safety of brightness,
Heart now racing and burning lungs,
Still gripped by ravaging

Rain reflectsYou walk around, your leg throbbing, slightly confused… how did I get here? Your heart beats in your chest intensely and rapidly; sweat drips off your forehead. Your vision become’s steady and your eyes focus on the forest floor. Your knees give in and you collapse onto your back, through the branches you see glistening light, beaming through the leaves, coating you in a yellow glow. Where am I? You attempt to stand, slightly painful but bearable. You look down at your bare feet as they lead you forward, through the trees, Who am I? You open your hands and look thoroughly at your fingers; you move them up closer to your face and

When one door closes...I’ve heard the saying
When one door closes, another opens,
I felt the disconnect and the lock clicked shut
It closed for just a moment
Then opened so hard
That it spun me

I went down in a haze of mixed emotions,
Not over my loss but feeling for you,
My wants mangling each other,
Eating each other alive,
Until there was nothing left
But me

When the tears stopped
and you were there, waiting
I ran toward you
Wanting change, wanting freedom
Embracing an uncertain future
For love

Your eyes were like the ocean
A swirling punch bowl of blue and white,
So inviting in their dance
So severe was the pull of your undertow
That I dove right in

Call me HellCall me Hell
Because I'll burn you with one look
Call me Heartless
Because I don't care
If you live
Or die
(But I would rather I get to deal the final blow)

So go ahead
Die today
But then again
You could of died yesterday
And you're just a part of my
Imagination
(Shouldn't that be insanity?)

Call me Crazy
Because I refuse to believe in your world
Because I live in another state of mind
Far away from
Your time line

Man?Do you remember the night,
You told me to take my life?
I remember it so clearly...
Smart witted I responded with "A dream come true."
That's when you drew your hand out to hit my face,
Then my mother's.
You still have the guts to call yourself a man,
When verbally you could never take a stand.
You hide away with violence and drugs,
When your heart will never be able to love.

Immo?Quid sum tibi te amo
An vel mireris tibi
Debeo subticere aut ad scream mundi
Iam nosti forsitan
Forsitan amor sentire
Quamvis sumptus amabo te semper

PrisonerIt never seems to work for me
It never turns out right
I can't be nice or pleasant
And rarely seem to delight

They all run in terror
If they see me coming
It sounds like I am shouting
Even when I'm humming

The path I take goes nowhere
My only light is gone
I search and search and search
But can't seem to find the dawn

I'm hopeless can't you see it
In my reddened bloodshot eyes
Though I'm not usually the one
Who sits down and cries

So, it will never work for me
It will never turn out right
So I'll walk on and I'll wander
A prisoner of the night

SummerSummer's finally come today
Sadly though she cannot stay
Her nice sunshine yellow, gold
And warm weather to behold
All must slowly fade away
With each and every passing day
'Till winter wonder comes again
Summers only worst friend
Bringing cold snow in his wake
And off trees, leaves does he take

Daddy, am I pretty?

Daddy, am I pretty?

"Daddy, daddy look at me!"
She laughed and turned around
Dressed up in her dress-up clothes.
Daddy didn't make a sound.

"Daddy, daddy look at me."
She told him once again.
"Daddy, am I pretty?"
Said she, feeling empty within.

"Yes." said daddy flatly
Though look he never did.
She ripped off all the clothes,
Ran to her room and hid.

Daddy never came
To ever see if she was fine.
In her floor she laid.
All she could do was cry.

Daddy didn't love her;
She knew that in her heart.
It's not right for a five year old
To feel broken, torn apart.

Although too many years have passed
The story's still the same.
I called only when I needed him
But daddy never came.

Now my dreams are haunted
With that broken little girl
And her horrid misconception of
The best daddy in the world.

Sometimes all you need is a good cry and your tears become ink for the pen called writers block. (It makes sense. Don't think too hard. If it doesn't, I've not slept in the past few days and ran out of coffee.)

Its funny i never had a good relationship with my father but i hope that if i ever have children it can be different

*AussieDidge Mar 5, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

I can only be so thankful my father raised me well throughout my childhood, now the time is coming to pay him back for everything's he done: through busting my ass working so we can take trips together, if I'm hopeful enough to have him around in my later life.

I am so sorry you never got to experience that same devotion and love from your father... Some people can truly be heartless sometimes. I can only wish you well in moving on, and of course, there's always the sweet feeling you'll get when he asks you for something to help him out, and you can ask him exactly that very question... why he never helped you out. Make that worm squirm.

Great emotional poetry and certainly inspiring for any would-be poet who wishes to write in that field. Keep up the good work.

It does, no excuses required.

“Never explain anything.” - H.P. Lovecraft

~CognoviUmbras Mar 4, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

Thanks ^_^
I like the quote. Ive never heard it before.

*914four Mar 5, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

I collect quotes, I enjoy finding an appropriate bit of wisdom for various situations.
An alternate for this situation could have been the quote below, but I like the brevity of the former

"Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway." -Elbert Hubbard

*Andharian Mar 3, 2013 Student General Artist

My dad is the best dad in the world, so it makes me feel even worse for those of you that can't feel that.

~CognoviUmbras Mar 4, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

I'm glad you had that experience but please don't feel bad; It made me the person I am today (which is not bad in the least) thank you though and thanks for leaving a comment. ^_^

*Andharian Mar 5, 2013 Student General Artist

Oh no problem. I suppose, it made me the person I am today too, but obviously, in a different way xD

~x-x-Bear-x-x Mar 3, 2013 New member Hobbyist General Artist

This got me right in the feels.
I also found your use of a rhyming schematic to be very well used.

~CognoviUmbras Mar 4, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

I'm glad you felt something but I'm sorry it is sadness or loss or if it ripped open something.
Thanks a bunch and also thanks for commenting. ^_^ *Hugs you*
