It's All My Fault

It's all my fault, you see,
I'm the one who did this to me
I say "I love you" when I don't 
Promise to do things when I know I won't 
Everything I love, I throw away
And then as I wander astray
I never even stop to
Find my way back to you.
My life's falling apart in front of me
And I lower down to a knee
To make things like they were before
But, then, comes a feeling I can't ignore
The kind of feeling I've learned to dread
The feeling of darkness filling my head.
Am I stupid or just insane, 
Starting to break from all the pain?
Often I lay awake at night 
Wondering if my life will ever be as bright 
As it was that with that wondrous kiss
That promised me eternal bliss. 
There's so many people, but yet I still feel alone
So many friends, yet I'm still on my own.
Sometimes I just don't know what to do
As I look up to a sky that's no longer blue.
Will someone, please end this insanity
So I don't lose all my humanity
Or will someone just kill me
And put me out of my misery.
Because all I seem to do is cry
And all I really want to do is die.

My Beloved

After a year of liking and loving
her, I would do anything to be with 
her forever. I love her more than love
itself. She is the only true angel
in my life. I love her more than I love
myself. She is the best gift God has 
ever given me. I always thank the 
Lord for her for I know that he put a 
part of himself in her. All the gifts that 
God has given me mean nothing without 
her to share them with. I will gladly give 
them all away if it means that I would
never have to leave her side as long as 
I live. Angels rival at her beauty.
Her hair is smooth as silk. Her smile is the 
greatest thing in the world, as beautiful 
as a sunset, but can heal anything.
I live by it for only it can make 
me happy whenever I am sad. I 
would give everything I have just to see
it or hear her laughter once a day. Her 
laughter is as beautiful as her smile
and makes everything joyful in my 
life. Her voice is rivaled by birds for their 
songs are no match for her voice. I love her
more and mor each and every day. She 
is why I was put on this earth.She is
the greatest thing that ever happened to 
me. She is my one true love. She is my 
everything. She is perfect. She is
my angel and I will always love her.

A Lover's Suicide

She came into my life 
And seemed to end all my strife
But suddenly things started to change 
Suddenly she began to act strange.
Over and over she lied
And every time I swallowed my pride.
Every time I let her back in 
Even though I knew she was the daughter of sin.
She played me for a fool 
Using me as her tool
To get what she sought
As I stood and fought
And I tried with all my might
To win this horrible fight
To keep her standing by my side
Then she’d become my lovely bride.
But she left as soon as soon as she came
And everything became the same
As it had been once before
And how it shall be forever more.
If she could only see
What she created inside of me.
She created a darkness that will last
And overshadow both my future and past.
A darkness that’ll forever be a part 
Of my ever-longing heart.
I look to a future that I dread
With a gun pointed at my head.
Look at what love’s done to me
And try to learn from what you see
As I take my last breath
Knowing all my hopes lie in death.

A Little Insane

I have a lot of hate in my heart; 
That's how poems like this start.
It's why even during the best of times,
I come up with the darkest rhymes.
You might think I'm a little nuts,
But if you think you have the guts. 
Try living a life of pain,
With only loss and no gain;
A life with no hope, 
With nothing for anyone to grope.
To try to hold on to and stay alive
Just so you can say you could survive
In this wondrous place called life, 
A place filled with only strife.
Live a life only the loveless know, 
Where you see your blood and watch it flow.
And the burning feeling from within 
makes you feel like you can not win.
And then after this, you see, 
I will say "Come to me."
And you will do so in a way 
that will haunt your dying day:
Crying out your last tear, 
Saying words I long to hear,
"Now I know what you said, 
About what goes on in your head. 
And I want you to know
Before I really have to go.
I am a little insane too, 
A littlet insane just like you."

My Love

My love for you is like a dove that is
as pure as gold. I wish for yo the best
of days for you are only mine. I will
always love you, my love, with all my heart.
I could compare your beauty to that of 
a rose, but you would always be the more 
beautiful of the two. The beauty of 
a rose is nothing compared to your
magnificent beauty. I never want
to leave your side, but I know that I must. 
If you should die tomorrow my heart would 
be dead with you. I would kill myself if
you would live on peacefully. I love 
you more than you will ever know or wish
to know. In all my days, I know I won't 
love anyone as much as you, my love.
You are the best thing in my life, and you 
are the meaning of my existence. You are 
the best thing that has ever happened 
to me. With out you, I would go insane.
I ask myself, "How could have I ever 
lived without you in my arms." I would
do anything for you, my love. You are 
the most precious jewel in the world. You 
are my light when it is dark, my friend
when I am lonely, and my care giver 
when I need help. You are the world to me
and nothing else matters to me. In this 
cruel world of hatred and war, you are 
my only comfort. I lie all trust and
love in you . There is no greater good than
our love together as one. If only
you were with me now, I would show my love 
for you to you. You are the light at the
end of the tunnel. If it were not for
you, I would have killed myself out of 
pure despair. You give my life a hidden
meaning that I can only find through you.
That meaning is quite simple: to always and 
forever love you. I will always and
always love you for you are my love and
because loving you is what my life is 
all about.

Life Sucks

Life sucks, you know that?
You can live the best you can and still feel like a rat.
You stay up for someone you care about to call,
And later find out they never cared about you at all.
You sit, waiting on something you expect to be great,
and when it actually happens, it wasn't worth the wait.
You spend your whole life trying to forget
All the things you've done that you truly regret;
However, no matter what you do,
Those things always seem to follow you.
You open up your heart and let someone in
Just so you can be burned once again.
You call in to work sick, just because you're tired;
Next day, you find out you've just been fired.
You're always trying to live for something more,
Only to find it's just another closed door.
You give something you're very best,
And, in the end, are still no better than the rest.
You can feel so happy, you just want to sing,
then something happens and you lose everything.
Despite these you still have to live.
No matter what, your best is what you're called to give.
So the best thing you can do is live life with a smile,
Because, you know, life rocks every once in a while.

Like a Sun

You are like a sun in all its glory. 
You bring light in to the darkness in my life,
Bring happiness to this story,
And ease up my never-ending strife.
Life means nothing without you, 
Without your sweet embrace.
All I ever want to do
Is look up and see you face. 
To see it looking down at me 
And without shedding a single tear 
Shine brighter so that all may see
The one I love is near.
Oh, shine my sun;shine real bright,
Because I need your everlasting light.
