Scorpio,Friends Loveless and Loss

As i struggle to open this world
I find:
Two lives lived
beauty that has never shed
a withered leaf that always bleeds
as my only life with the realest of friends
i watch them and my heart honestly leave

Gates of God's Decision

One Hour into school and im hearing news but not believing
what they say,it comes again
in the form of wicked sadness destroying seamen rank by rank
adn my tears fall inside like flanks,in my shaking head
I hold this in mind
and let truth behold all i might not see and death brings me closer to the seams
of life and im so afraid
im a coward of time and i've got so many cards I dealt 
but the ace is hidden by my side
and lastnight it was Sunday May 5th 2008
and somehow we they got there late
I just know it was'nt your time but we all will be fine 
you will be missed and we'll remember this time when we had to say goodbye
and our tears flow like new life
and at the drop of a hat,
a mother lost a daughter,father lost a girl,we lost an angel 
and God gained your grace students lost a hero,I know im way past my limit 
so why do I write still,but i know somehow i'll prove you're living in our brain
Mrs.Gates we miss you dearly as you glowed with day 
and will always be remembered not erased

 "This Poem/Song is dedicated to the Family,Friends,Students and staff who 
were touched by this Angel's Grace,R.I.P. Mrs.Gates"

Special Characters

The Only Thoughts in this mind is to stop sh sh shaking
before you is my life taken from me,and if we choose to let this happen
it wont inflict on you but only us

Everytime i see the shades coming down ,leaving that stage
is my eternal heart that has no place
In your heart now i shall watch you leave
My friend

Take me back,for just a second honey
when we were all but one
with all of us together,where our hearts were so true yet dear
and for one last time my friends,take my words 
they are bleeding for the emotions of your ears

+To those who cant forgive me,read me as a misunderstanding+

Im So Tired With Me Now(Make Myself Sick)

Current mood: distraught
Category: Life

If i could just project my voice into the ears of those i love
I would take the world into my words and let them hear what my heart sings
it sings of joy and the past time with them,oh so it longs and holds on to that year
but im afraid if i let go now would they feel my heart as it heals and as I
Drop to the floor

I wonder if i shouldve stopped my heart before it fails to bleed
if i died unsuspectively what would my life mean
well dear wonders of this world look at what Beauty Ive Become
Now Watch me Lay out on the street

Take my wings
I dont need them because Angels only kill themselves in dreams
Its just as if heaven was inside my Veins So
Let me bless You know let me Bless these grounds

Let me spill onto the pavement so cold and Shameless im lost
but none of my friends can see this,are they blinded by my Mask
in which i always wear but if i offend you im sorry i swear
Im sorry that im dead

Make this your only comfort to see me lying there in that box soundly asleep
dont even bother trying to wake me,dont call my name
cause my heart feels no remorse or shame for what happened to me
I told you all that i was sick,but did you bother to listen to me

Pleasant Hearts

Father dont relieve me 
give me a dawning day to
kiss the bliss upon a new life
as long as i take them with
me into what could be 6 plus deep
just fall into what could be heaven
for me it is called hell
as if i were to sieze the day

Drink Up Genocide

Drown yourself so deeply it hurts
it tells such a story that no longer hurts
take it from me i'll tell you 
this life you live will send you there
to drink up genocide in this lively air
flying and searching for nothing
while these sparks of knowledge kiss the lips
of one thousand headlights that held you tight
words of sonnets are raining hard only on the brains
of those who believe that trying never makes it
in this world of sancturary that holds this garden of words
that seemingly seep out what we all as one have been thinking

Leaping Off In a New Mentality

Im not a monster you're just some sick man
have you ever felt alone,as alone as we feel
Im such a monster then you're the sickest man who would give anything to have it all back
Is it alright if I take my breathing to a new mentality in the run down place
because this room is cold and I see my breath and so many faces appear
Maybe I forgot to lock the doors and windows are left unopened,so we're alone 
this always makes me feel so home and alone but im loving this feeling 
Of sickness

Oh how the blood thickens
when I leap off this bridge of reason and true fatality of their lies 
whisper to me baby as if you are the wind between my wings
becasue now I leave myself to leaping off breathing in a new mentality
Im not a monster, Im just some sick man who would do anything to have his soul back

No Sanity For the Lost

Remembering what you say
the reason for me scratching my bleeding scalp
enter me my kingdom upon the loveliest tree,wait for me im coming down
it's alright if I get stuck while falling down remember me for all i've done
the good bad or ugly,I really dont care that much......
so how could I because I have no luck and why does the baby bird has to fall from the nest 
to learn to fly
I might be the one to hit the pavement but I will be proud that I left on my own
so is this why im alone except for myself in this tree in this tree

Pusing the Skies

no time to stop and think
just realize,no time to really live
just make the time
Friends are what youre really living for
now they all know the truth,the outside starts seeping through

The Rapture Rebirths

I waited untill the day fell off
out of scene and out of tune
I sung so loud my last tear prayer to myself to relieve myself
but im afraid that this won't make me stay,without going insane

are we desperate to all follow along
the lines of the lonely and dreamy eyed holes
are we all playing make believe with ourselves or are we just really undone
why,I have found my own history to be complete so now I believe
I can finally fall fast asleep and finally breathe

Cant I change your mind this time,so suddenly you regret your notice of me
so what have I done to deserve this knife in my back
are you the one,you are unlikey to be saved
why can't you just turn away or should I just go and stay?
what if this world was a stange of it's own or maybe it's just as it seems.....
