Selfless lover that she be,
You can hear her cries all the way out to sea,
She's drowning, suffocating, gagging,
But that's the way she wants to go.
She loved a man, who wanted everything,
And so she gave him all he desired.
But he took too much,
Never a thank you or a please,
And the poor selfless lover grew tired,
She cried and cried till the Nile River began to over flood,
She drenched the sand beneath her feet,
And instead of comforting her, the man then said,
Can I have one more last thing?
The woman stopped her tears, held the anchor on heart,
Allowing it to sink down into her stomach,
Hoping the stomach acid would eat he

Clinging unto every word
You're clinging unto every word,
Digging your nails into some sort of solid truth,
So allow me to give you the most real truth you'll ever hear,
Keep on letting go until you're whole.
I can see you're in pain,
I can see your head is swarming like a wasps nest,
Swirling around every emotion, you want to scream.
Keep on letting go until you're whole.
You're crying, and that's okay,
You're writhing in pain,
Every limb in your body seems to be twisting,
And all you want to do is to call his name,
But you can't.
He's not there, I'm sorry.
Stop torturing yourself,
You're the one who is caging your body and mind,
You're the one who w
Sitting in my cozy chair,
Harsh winds blowing through my curtains and into my hair.
I shiver, I shake,
I cough and I sneeze.
I'm sick, ya know?
It's some sort of smancy fancy disease.
I can feel my hair follicles,
They're dropping down one by one,
Soon I'll be bald and then you'll see,
If I am pretty or not.
I hack up flem, while smoking another cig,
The blackness taints my purple lungs,
I'm dyin', ya know?
People say I should care,
But who gives a fuck?
That's right, no one.
Not even your doc.
Smoke it deep, hold it in,
'cause that's just the way I wanna live.
I signed a pact with the devil, ages ago,
So if you wanna talk
I say I should go,
But my head is screaming "no, no, no!"
I sit here waiting,
What for?
Yeah, even I don't know.
My heart feels like it ain't whole,
Not when we're like this.
I don't understand what happened,
I'm not too sure what changed,
I'd stay to help you through it,
But now you're causing me pain.
I might appear selfish,
But last night proved many things.
It felt like you were the drunk man, and I was only the slutty barmaid.
My mind and heart are torn in two,
I really don't know what to do.
I never thought of leaving you,
But if it'd cure you then I suppose it'll do.
I'm sorry if my love was too much,
Or perhaps you
User, abuser.
Sucking away her happiness,
like a parasite,
draining her life outta' her,
thinking it'll be alright.
Hurtful, neglectful.
Acting like shit don't phase her,
treating her like a machine,
not a human being.
Confusing, mind bruising.
A shadow you are,
creeping when you need something.
Fucking her skull,
raping her mind,
don't want her as a friend,
just using.
You're laughing at her,
I can hear it all around.
Putting her last and never first,
always will,
but she can't complain openly,
she can't cry out,
she holds it in, hides every little doubt,
like a good lil' girl,
she won't cry.

These are not fragments,
Nor are they a gift;
They are mirrors.
This thing I write with,
It is not a pencil.
This tool of mine,
Is not a weapon.
This lead is my nail,
An extension of my hand.
Believe it or not?
You won't.
This envelope I am holding,
It is not something you put inside,
For it is far too empty already.
This piece of paper I write on,
Is not something made from trees,
It is made on peoples brain,
Their gooey insides.
I speak in tongue,
But these are not words you hear,
They are the daggers you feel.

Until all I shall harbor.
This hate that I have learned to depend on,
Transfers poison into my veins,
As it suckles the nourishment of my brain,
Of familiarizing between the factors of right from wrong.
It takes its nest inside my chest,
And breeds merely one vessel to contaminate the others,
And soon all I shall harbor is hate.
The memories that zap into my brain,
As if they are trying out electro-therapy again,
They leave another scar, covering the first one ever made.
It is fresh.
It stings when the air blows against it,
As does my reminiscing.
And when the memories flood back only to be washed away again,
All I shall harbor is hate.
I discuss thin
My mind, my heart,
They're screaming,
Tearing at each other's throats.
I am running,
Yet I feel that the world is holding me down,
Anchors and chains around my ankles.
I appear the essence of calm, but inside I reek havoc.
They are ripping me apart,
At war with one another.
I will my arm to raise the white flag:
"Mercy, mercy!" I cry.
But my brain, he gives me no sense of clemency.
I am dying, my chest feels tight.
I am dying, my lungs breathe the intoxicants of daily life.
I try to speak,
My tongue is tied.
I sit here, trying to write a poem, but to no avail.

Discontent is how I am,
Laying in this white room.
I see no lock on my knob,
But am trapped behind the door.
What exactly would you perceive me as?
There are no curtains to keep out sunlight,
And honestly, no sunlight ever can come in.
I have no house to truly call a home,
Nor can I feel any security in a strangers bed they say is my own.
Thrown in here,
Yes, I was thrown, not placed.
Just for being a tad different.
They say I am mad.
Say I have gone completely bonkers in my head.
But aren't we all a little on the off side?
For that little fact makes me feel indifference towards this event.
I paint these walls that of yellow,
In the silence of my room,
A whimper escapes past my sealed lips.
A cry.
In the silence of my room,
Water seems to slip through the dam I had almost completed,
I am crying.
You've shot me,
With a slingshot to my heart,
Internal bleeding.
I am dying.
You don't care?
Yeah, you don't care.
I'm trying,
Trying to finally open up, to talk, not yell.
You raise your voice this time.
You yell.
You're killing me.
I feel like I am slipping,
Slipping back into how I once was.
Needing the taste,
Needing a taste of any little pain,
Preferable a scrape from the blade.
But no, I cannot submit,
For that is a fools wish.

No poetry was written,
No fairytales were read.
As if it was forbidden,
By the monsters in her head.
And all they thought was silly,
Was quickly thrown away.
By a girl who had to grow up,
By a girl who couldn't play.
All her dreams and fantasies,
All her fears and hopes.
Thrown in a bag of garbage,
Balloons and skipping ropes.
The teddybears and puzzles,
All had to retreat.
For new puzzles in her head,
She never would complete.
No poetry was written,
No fairytales were told.
Her eyes spoke of a sad tale,
Her hands were always cold.
She thought of no white horses,
For she was no princess.
Her life was about papers,
Possesions are masks of hidden pain, showing pathetic humanity greed.
Paper is the mask I hide behind to remove my masks and lies.
Pain is the haze that masks all thought but reveals all.
Memories are just lies masked as lies meant to remind us of angst and guilt.
Madness is just another mask for the unaccepted, unwanted, and the unaccounted for.
Maybes are for the masked who need to learn to speak their mind.
Tears are masks for the blind who never wanted to see.
Talking is just creating a brand new mask to hide behind, created with spoken word.
Tainted is just the word for the masked ones, whispering to themselves and creating mask
My dad is a rock. He is solid, he is powerful. He can still pick me up and toss me over his shoulder. He is never seen to cry, he can never be swayed or damaged by opinion. He is a real estate agent, and he pushes those deals and sways those clients with confidence and experience. He flexes his arms at the dinner table when I ask him and points exactly which way it is to the beach or the gun show. He is a tree, a mountain, a thick and formidable presence in any room, in any place, against any person.
Hes late, my mom said, and pursed her lips through the ste
All I Want Is That One Friend,
Who Will Stand By Me 'Til The End,
Until The Day That I Should Die,
That Friend Who Will Say Goodbye.
How Often I Surely Have Missed,
That Feeling Of Being Softly Kissed,
When You Walked Away From Me,
After I Got Down On One Knee.
I Feel So Far Away And Alone,
All Along I Should Of Known,
Everything I Ever Really Thought,
Was A Fantasy That Only I Sought.
You Meant Everything To My Heart,
But You Said Nothing As You Depart,
I Thought I Was Certain Of Love,
That You Were The One Sent From Above.
How Wrong Was I To Of Assumed,
My Life And Time You Consumed,
All Those Days And Weeks Gone To Waste,
I Have No Inspiration,
None What So Ever,
I Need A Demostration,
Of How To Be Clever.
I Have No Thought,
Of What I Can Write,
I Need To Be Taught,
I Need That Guided Light.
What Will Be Next,
When I Get An Idea,
My Mind Needs To Flex,
Writers Block I Truely Fear.
Surely It Will Come To Me,
Sooner Than Later I Hope,
We Shall All Soon See,
If I Can Really Cope.
But Wait, What Is This,
Is This What I Think,
Oh, It Seems So Bliss,
I Found My Missing Link.
I Thought I Couldn't Do It,
But Here's Another Poem,
I Wrote As I Now Sit,
I Hope You Enjoy Them.
Swim with me, my dear
Let everything drift away
Allow my touch to drown out your fear
"Save yourself, let someone save you"
Feel the heat warm your flesh
In my rhythm, let yourself sway
Close your eyes, having limbs mesh
"Save yourself, let someone save you"
Take in the scent of my hair
In your arms, forever I lay
Ill show you tenderness, Ill care
"Save yourself, let someone save you"
These are words Ive given up hoping to hear
Gestures thatd promise me Id be okay
The death of my heart is near
"Save yourself, let someone save you"
All this and more Id give
Offer it back or not, you may
But
