Cruel words escape from her lips,
She touches her throat with her fingertips.
Feeling lost
Feeling hated,
It's something many have debated.
A choking feeling a gasp for life,
But somewhere deep she longs for a knife.
Somewhere dark, somewhere deep a innocent soul wantes to be free.
Cheated of love.
Cheated of peace.
How can she give if she never recieved?
Cruel words escape from her lips,
She touches her throat with her fingertips.
A choking feeling.
A gasp for life.
Something deep makes her grab a knife.
Trapped away are my feelings under lock and key
They are begging me to release them so they can be free
They go deeper every time you come around
I open my mouth but then there is no sound
Its just my words coming from inside
They must be released because they can no longer hide
You cannot control me and keep me in fear
Hold back my voice when I need to be clear
I’ll say what I want right from the start
Don’t try to stop what comes straight from the heart
Its just my words coming from inside
They must be released because they can no longer hide
You say if reflects on you and How you look
I need to write what I want and that’s the vow I took
I thought that was a freedom we had until our very end
If you suppress me you are not at all my friend
Its just my words coming from inside
They must be released because they can no longer hide
I'm out of things to say.
For no one cares, no one listens.
My words are there.
But ears and minds around me,
are closed.
I write so my words can be seen.
But still minds are closed.
They say they care,
but I'm dieing,
and they're watching.
Not trying to fix,
just watching and waiting.
I write,
for i have no other way.
hurt and pain are temporary
when it really comes down to it
the very painful things are the words used
the way its said
the way the harsh words leave your mouth
cutting the edges of my heart
its stings to hear
when i cry i try not to think of it. how the sound is still in my head
playing over and over like a song on repeat.
it won't leave me
it cutting deeper and deeper as the minutes go by
the sobbing the tears will never quit
look at what you have caused
look into my eyes and see the words running across them
hurt and pain is nothing compared to this.
Little Words
Little words can stab the heart
Can they stop before they start
Cannot tell you why they smart
Little words tear you apart
Little words can make a friend
Can help you share the smile they lend
Cannot tell how much they bend
Little words can bring the end
Little words are all I know
Can they make you feel so low
Cannot fight the undertow
Little words force you to grow
Little words can be a song
Can they make you feel strong
Cannot explain why some are wrong
Little words they last so long
Little words are all I hear
Can you tell when they're sincere
Can you stop the falling tear
Little words are all I fear

Why bother talking,
When no one really cares,
Fake smiles and hugs,
Shallow sympathetic stares.
Why bother smiling,
When no one ever looks,
May as well be invisible,
Get lost in the nooks,
And crannies of this life,
Just disappear out of sight,
Who would even notice,
If I left tonight,
Why bother with this,
When I know I don't matter,
Forget it I'm done,
No more feelings laid out on platters.
No more heart on my sleeve,
No more smile on my face,
I'm done giving,
I'm done with this space,
This place, this waste,
The way my feelings are nothing,
Just words on a page.
Smile on a comment,
When my words speak of pain,
Why even bother,
What is there to gain.
Sure it's beautiful,
More heartfelt than you realize,
But no one ever questions,
The darkness in my eyes.
It's just words on a page,
For you all to read...
Nothing more..nothing less...
Just smile, as my emotions bleed.
I feel that words have left me
Those of words to belong in my youth
Words defining… perhaps defying to be
Words to have meant… once a truth
I cannot find… perhaps almost
A kind of lost as compared from before
And perhaps I wasn’t even close
Yet of lost was my memory to adore
Simple unlike now
Simply unlike after
Life is to be bound
Choosing is only time whenever
Some choice I really choose
Believing words then believing somebody
And with words… I simply rose
My love to become a now… a nobody
I am lost… I have words
No longer in my youth yet I belong
So many years… so much words unheard
Must I give up to simply move along?
Drink liquor and smoking trees
escaping the reality of this bad economy
some now choose to steal
in efforts to pay their bills
Making decisions to pawn what they own
doing whatever possible to save their homes
getting by is hard
millions do it without jobs
Politicians promise it is getting better
but those are only words written in letters
come to place my place
and tell it to my children face
Look into their eyes
see the life they are being deprived
watch a father cry
promising to provide, but words turn to be lies
Who has job me
so I can provide for my family
so my wife won't see me cry
so my children won't hear me asking why
Waging this war on my mind
All this time that has gone by
Trying to find which side to abide
All the words i wanna shout
But they just wont come out
During the day through all the dismay
A few words manage to find their way
Everything on my mind stops like its frozen in time
Hoping the reactions can conclude these actions
Everything goes blank in my mind
All my thoughts are lost
Even after all the sleep I lost
I guess it means there will be
New things that want to take control over me
This must show how life will be
Everyday a new fight fought over me
Friends and family contradicting me
About the war waging inside
They say iv lost my mind
So where does one look to find this thing
People keep calling my mind
Why I Must Stay?
You entered my heart faster than wind.
And promised my soul bliss would begin.
Joy, soon faltered, by blistering sin,
Where lost hope and hate put life on spin.
Lopsided lovers living as friends,
Why on this earth does not this love end?
Angry words become sweet lines again.
According to some, such love cannot win.
Alone in the room while you sit near,
I wonder why hurt brought each new tear.
We dreamed forever of loving dear.
Harsh words have hindered gladness, I fear.
So as thoughts befall on this dark day,
I pray, “God, please take my life away.”
Then, I remember why I must stay.

Poetic form: Rhyme (Each verse is written in monorhyme...almost.)
The wind wrapped around me like a quilt,
Flooding in and out through my pores.
Hands pressed deep into my chest, toes curled over the edge, I prayed,
I prayed that this would end. One small leap.
I screamed words of tragedy, words of despair, words that passed my thoughts to you
As loud as there are planes, as loud as there are trains.
There was no one to hear but the vultures
That waited for my carcass to drop from the skies.
The words that come from their mouths,
spew all over like venom.
The evil of which they are, will ultimately doom us.
They will stop at nothing, til they bring us all down.
They cant adapt to change.
They want to keep us in a place that is horrible.
Like Cave men, their behavior is intolerable.
For every negative thing that comes from them,
puts us all one step closer to failure and doom
They are an evil that is in abundance.
An evil that can not be stopped.
Forever trapped, in a place that breeds words of hatred
A heart full of gold, in a room full of darkness
A fight, that cannot be won, by few.
No side better but one side, lesser.
A game of war, it all has become
A war that could go on, til all are in indefinate peril.
I'll cut your wrists...but die another day.
I'll be the one that you will fear, im not your little darling dear.
"I love you"...these words I never want to hear, so go drink another stinking beer.
I'll cut your wrists...but die another day.
It was you that I would fear, though I never shed a tear.
As long as you were near, or close enough to hear.
I'll cut your wrists...but die another day.
You put me through more that words can say, I know that one day you will pay.
So take this as your warning, and stay out of my stinking way.
I'll cut your wrists...but die another day.
Theres nothing left to say, this is the price you'll pay.
For what you did that day, thats it thats all i have to say.
I'll cut your wrists...but die another day.
Moonlit children & carved smiles
Making every step seem worthwhile
Running away with the stars
Dancing in the wind, not so far
Decaying lungs & broken dreams
A bleeding mouth, drowning screams
Black veins & pale skin
addiction help deep within
Raindrops on lacerated lips
Hidden behind the lunar eclipse
Silver tongue & crippled wings
A spectral thorn & razor blade sings
Toxic showers, its poisons kiss
Suffocated by fake happiness
Plastic lungs & taped confession
Tempted by disguised aggression
Interrupted & separated skies
Peaking through sugar coated lies
Black curtains & paper hearts
Last words spoken before falling apart
Artfully twisting these words into gold
Cries muted & pain that's never old
Breaking free from any sin
Lies snowflakes on burnt skin
two little words
words with which my heart dies
ripped from my chest
stabbing pain
an ache
a hole I thought was filled
how can they affect me so
why does nothing hold hope
nothing waits for me
two words a brutal knife
stabbing me
killing all that was gained
two words you spoke
