Silence, Love

People say knowledge gives you power, 
But ignorance saves people from pain, from the truth,
Perfection dies with knowledge, 
Ignorance is comforting, 
Love lives in silence, 
Ecstasy is killed by words,
Hearts break because of the spoken language, 
Verbal confessions end relationships, 
So don't say a word, just hold me, 
Words not needed, only kisses, 
Your words cut, but your touch soothes, 
So cover me with your love,
And cover your mouth with your hand!

Damn You

Drawn to you, 
Always drawn to you,
Can't I ever let you go, 
I don't love you, 
But I need you, 
I can't give you what you want, 
Me, forever, 
But I can always give you a part, 
My body, on fire, 
Clutching to you always, 
Knowing perhaps there will never be another, 
I'll love again, that I'm sure of, 
But will I feel this heat again, this passion, 
This surge of power running thru me, 
This desire and need, 
I don't think I will and that scares me, 
Can I love again knowing it's just a matter of time,
Before I come crawling back, 
Needing you, to make me whole again, 
To bring my body back to life, 
Knowing I can't trust anyone like I do you, 
I can't give myself totally to anyone but you, 
I can't be crazy, be wild, be sexual, 
With anybody but you!
Damn You!

Empty Words

Trust, that painful word without meaning,
Trust a Father, he hurts you, 
Trust a friend, they desert you.
Promise, that pointless word never kept,
Promise you'll always be there, you won't, 
Promise you'll not say a word, you will.
Believe, that greedy word that everyone wants, 
Believe in family, they split up,
Believe in in God, he ignores your cries for help.
Love, the worst word, never practiced,
Love life, it becomes a curse, 
Love anyone, they leave you, hurt you, or worse. 
I trust only one, a sister to me, 
I promise, but don't often keep, 
I know not what I believe,
I love cautiously!

Secretly I Smile

Secretly I smile, 
Cause in my heart I know,
That everyday that passes by, 
Our Friendship grows and grows,
And even though I lust for you, 
This feeling is so fleeting, 
Cause friends is what I should have looked for, 
at very first our meeting, 
Cause if I died today, 
In some tragic accident, 
I wouldn't want a love affair, 
To be all our friendship meant, 
Cause if you miss me as a lover, 
You can always find another, 
But if you miss me as a friend, 
That will last until the end, 
I'll always love you Sara, this much I can't deny, 
But I'll love you as a friend, a friendship never dies!

Random Poetry

The day I met you, 
The sky was a brighter blue, 
The grass was a greener green, 
And the world was different, 
From how it always seemed! 
The day I met you, 
Everything was clear and true, 
There was only you to blame, 
That I knew my life, 
Would never be the same!
The day that I met you, 
The wind blew through my hair, 
And I stopped to breathe the air!

Untitled

I'm sorry I truly am for constantly complaining, 
It's just that times are hard and it doesn't want to stop raining,
My problems, they aren't as bad as I make them out to be, 
They're true, but they don't happen as drastically, 
My dad, he doesn't worry about the present day,
He's more concerned about my future, 'bout what I'll do and say, 
He says that he's changed, says I'm the way he used to be, 
But he hasn't changed, and change I may never see, 
I may not even be alive, if I can't handly all this pressure, 
I mean to my next birthday I'm not even really sure,
But I mean, what a loss, there is no one who would miss me, 
I'd like to see my funeral, how many people there would be, 
I don't want attention, all I really want is love, 
I can't get it, not from family, school, not even him above, 
I'll stop now, no one's listening, probably talking to a wall, 
I'll just go out pretend that I'm happy, and hope that I don't fall!

Killing You

My words come out cold and biting, 
Your actions follow similar, 
So with what you do and what I say, 
Death is soon to come for both our hearts,
I want to say I love you and I miss you, 
But my mind will not allow it,
You want to give up everything for me,
But the past, you can't deny it, 
So my words come harsh,
And our pasts catch up with us,
So I turn my back and you turn yours,
And our love just turns to dust, 
The love that could have been rekindled if only either of us knew, 
That what you do kills me so in turn I'm killing you!!

The Secret

I'm telling you the truth I swear it, 
I'm knowing something you don't, 
And if you did know you'd shrink back in fear, 
Your skin would crawl, chills run down your spine, 
I know a flammable secret, one of which if I told you, 
Would light even the faintest fire in you, 
And cause a great smoking of the soul,
I'd tell you right now, if you wanted me to,
But I would tell it most carefully, to braid it and bend it so, 
I'd make it so it would hurt much less, so it wouldn't tear out your soul, 
You say you've got the smallest bones in your closet, if you've any there at all, 
Yet if you knew what I do, you'd back yourself into a wall, 
Into a tiny pocket of terror, hiding the truth from all, 
But I feel I just can't tell you, for it would leave you bare and empty, 
So I'll leave you with ignorance, 
For ignorance is in the shape of comfort!

Random Thoughts 9.25.07

Miserable and alone,
I get a myspace add request,
I say ya sure I'll add this person,
we could be friends at best,
that's how I met my ex,
once bitten twice shy,
I wait for them to write,
as I sit idly by,
sitting here minding my business,
talkin and makin friends,
never knowing what's creepin up on me,
thoughts of them after the convo ends,
wondering when we'll talk again,
hoping it's later that night,
got so much going on right now,
can't be thinkin that way, it ain't right,
but noticing it makes it easier,
gettin up in the morning,
thinking of the person who perhaps,
is bringin my hope back again,
easier to face the day,
talkin to them and gettin it out,
smiling and laughing again,
not just wanting to shout,
ain't ready to let it go that far,
ain't ready for anything,
but gettin harder to deny,
that perhaps there's really something,
Timing is the worst,
I'm wishing I had it together,
gotta keep remembering I'm not ready,
but what if it's now or never?

Another Untitled

Life is so confusing, 
So tired of the hurting, 
So sick of the abusing, 
I so just feel like crying,
I wish that I could just,
End the pain and sorrow,
There's no one I can trust, 
And it won't get better tomorrow, 
I just don't understand why,
Though my life's been only bad, 
I always have to try, 
And I can never be mad, 
Everybody's hurt me, 
In one way or another, 
But I guess that I should see, 
That this pain will last forever, 
But still I must go on, 
Even though I do not want to, 
And I have to be strong, 
Even though I wish it were through!
