If I was a flower, you would be my stem
If I was a prayer, you would be the "amen"
If I was a candle, you would give me light
If I was a color, you would make me bright
If I was a lock, you would be my key
If I was music, you would be my symphony
If I was a firefly, you would be the night
If you were the wind, I would be a kite
If you were a cloud, I would be the rain
And if you were an ache, I would be the pain
If I was a mirror, I would only reflect you
Because this is what true lovers do.
My life is a black hole
An abyss with no end
Where I sit all alone
With my one and only friend
A book filled with poems
And a bloody razor too
Hopefully I'll be dead
Before this day is through
A few more scars
Upon my arms
Maybe a few more tears
Adding on to the countless ones
That I've been shedding for years
The cold that crushes me
Will soon wrench me apart
The blood that for now
Flows through my heart
Will gush from every cut I make
And will slowly seep away
My mind can finally be at peace
For only my body will stay
In this cruel, wretched world
After I have died
No more cold, crushing darkness
And no more tears to
Insanity
Surrounded me
It wouldn't let me go
It burned my skin
I was caving in
But I couldn't let it show
The smile on my face
Was just a crooked frown
As I watched my world
Turn upside-down
Everyone talks
But no one would listen
I kept my head down
But tears would glisten
In these tired eyes
But I wouldn't let them fall
Even if there was no hope
Through it all
Then that one day
You came along
Just one word from you
And all my defenses were gone
My heart had turned to stone
But you had broken through
Now I wake up every morning
Thanking God for sending you
Even though I have these thoughts
I can't let you know
Beca
The cold is gnawing at my skin
It begs and pleads to be let it
Consumed by weakness, I have no choice
My screams and shouts leave me no voice
So in comes the rain, the sleet, the snow
The hail, the wind, and all of the unknown
That waits in the dark
Fear creeps in, too
And stabs at the heart
It will bleed for fear
That it will burst
For a sudden death
Is so much worse
Than one that is slow and musing
One that gives you time
Time to remember those you are leaving behind
Even though there's so many
That I will miss
The dark is still rising
And the cold insists
On a permanent stay
And as my vision sways
Everything turns bla
Pain is addictive
Pain is sweet
Pain will wipe you off your feet
It will take away everything you've got
Until there's nothing but the deep red spot
On the shirt that bleach won't cure
Another one made impure
By your daily sins and all your lies
The time you made your parents cry
And you care, but then you don't
Just can't decide
'Do I want to live or do I want to die?
If Hell is here, then where will I go?
Someplace better, I know.
It has to be better than this life of pain
But I can't leave, not again, because
Pain is addictive
Pain is sweet
And pain has knocked me off my feet
It took everything I had
Now it just makes m
I wish you could understand
I wish you'd just take my hand
I wish you would trust me again,
My friend.
I know it's been a long, long time
Since you've been a part of my life
I wish you would just try again,
If you can.
We're all headed down a strange road
And we're all unsure of where to go
Now
But we'll get there somehow.
Time to think
about the sink
and all the stuff underneath it
Time to think
about the mink
and all the things he's eaten.
Time to think
about the homework
I know I've got a lot
Time to think
about the things
I nearly, almost forgot.
Dear devil on my shoulder,
accursed angel by my ear,
listen closely now.
For me, there is no fear
of what lies beyond this trickery,
this game set by godly hands.
Their rules, I shall not follow;
let there be no more commands.
Devil, I now heed thee
to guide me on my way.
Angel, I detest thee,
for thou hast led me astray.
Your ever-seething misery
was mine to endure,
until the devil spoke to me
words with a cure.
Angel, tell your master
there is no hope here.
No longer will you whisper
painful words in my ear.
Devil, I implore thee
to stay by my side.
Guide me through your darkness,
show me shadows where I may hide.
Te
Blue
is nothing new
to me.
I see
it every day
on my way
to places
I always go
when the sun is low
in the sky.
When my mind is high
above my head
as I forget
the little things:
red ink
orange touch
yellow light
green voice
violet dreams
black eyes
white darkness
and the prism of days passed.
But the blue never leaves
the clotted sieve
of my thoughts
that I get caught
thinking too much,
if there is such
a thing.
