The Triangle

Aylin
is all he thinks about
Aylin
is who he loves
Aylin
is the one he always wants to be with
Aylin
is the one whos better for him
Aylin 
she will always lover him
Aylin
she doesnt like me for some reason
Aylin...

So why do I feel so aggrivated
I
lost him because of her
I 
must push him away now
I 
am scared because I will always want him
I
hurt when i spend five minutes with him.
I
messed everything up with him

He
can only tell me that ill find love one day
He
doesnt want to hangout with me anymore
He 
will never love me
He 
is so kind to everybody
He
is the one I cut for
He 
is the one I live for
He
Is the one I yearn for

So why did I mess things up for us?

A Drag From Another Cigarette

Everything used to be so simple.
Get up in the morning grab something black to wear.
Grab the phone and make some plans with my friends.
But now I don't know who's my enemy and who's my friend.
I'm not sure of where my future will take me or when itll end.
All i know is the past is my bed, and the memories; my pillow.
The morning my quilt and the night my party.
Friends to pick me up and drag me all over town.
Meet new people and just wander. 
But now where do i go, what have i done.
This life is full of regrets, reminds me of the smoke from a cigarette.
The future that is, its wispy and can always change.
If you drag your hand through the smoke, your destiny is always changing.
Everything was so simple.

Scars

scars running up and down my arm.
Making them count, I wonder if ma has noticed.
How long can i say there cat clawings?
Scars running up and down my arm.
showing weaknesses, showing power.
comforting, relaxing, deliberate, slow.
Scars running up and down my arm.
pressing harder and harder, loving the feel of an angry pulse in my arm.
A little bit of demon inside of me, bowing down to me.
Scars running up and down my arm.
I am the master, I am the blade, I am the cutter of a lost little girl.
I bend under the knife, pressed until my skin fails, Luscious red ink comes 
from me.
Scas running up and down my arm.
remind everybody of my past, of my love, of my addiction.
It all flows inside of me, churning in despair and desire...
Scars running up and down my arm.
It all happened with the knick of a blade.

Mothers Influence

Child, Oh my child.
Words whispered on broken breath,
A baby soft palm upon my breast.
I can feel the wind stirring my hair.
Even as my sightless eyes attempt to stare.

Child, Oh my child.
The disappointment overwhelming.
Choking the sweet lilted voice til warped.
With needs desires,
dreams that had floated near.

Child, Oh my child.
Laying upon the street,
flakes plummeting from the air.
Frozen, so frozen yet my spirit is still here.
Twas the sweet lilted voice of a mother that had led me here.

A Tenderly Broken Heart

We lie in the dark,
my back to his chest, clinging to one of his arms.
This moment is beautiful, tender, and I cherish it.
The silence is broken and his voice rumbles in my ear.

"Tell me about your past, my dear."

My life flashes past my eyes, quick as lightning.
Panic sets in, I gulp, sweat, attempt to avoid.
He sees through it all and persists.

Tears threaten to overwhelm me,
as internally I burn this moment into my mind, heart, and soul.
I silently tell him, my love, goodbye.

"My young life has been hard, painful, overwhelming.
I've been shot, nearly stabbed, nearly choked to death on the railroad tracks.
I've screamed for help so many times by choking on pills, sitting on train tracks, slicing my wrists.
Abused by a brother, abandoned by a father, neglected by a mother.
Kicked out, homeless, stealing candy from a gas station."

His arms tighten the more I speak, and I regret telling him anything at all.
But he has asked and I cannot deny him.
The words begin to flow like a car crash that I am powerless to stop.

"The abuse seemed kind when it happened, from lovers of my past.
Though each had specific rules, that I discovered fast.
I could not touch one unless upon seduction.
I could not trust her, for her death was near upon my fingers.
I loved one; they preferred to see me suffer, for I wished to make them happy."

I can feel the anger radiate from his body,
coiled tight, wanting a target.
I know it's fueled by a sadness, I cannot feel.
And yet I continued.

"I've suffered from nightmares for years, waking to tears or screaming.
I am easy to fright, even when unwarranted.
The PTSD causes me to flinch or jump at near every sound.
PTSD, insomnia, depression,
I've fallen down flights of stairs,
taken care of everyone else and have neglected myself."

I stare into the darkness as the words finally stop,
everything that ever happened replaying through my mind again,
from a new perspective.
Still I cannot feel the true tragedy of it.
I realize I have recited these things, in a monotone voice.
Devoid of the pain I must have felt.

But I am the rock, the caretaker, the forgiver.

He is silent with me, his arms an iron cage,
and I cannot breathe.
I do not mind.
He inhales deeply, his voice nearly inaudible he simply speaks.

"I will always be here for you."

And my heart finally breaks.

Kyle

if there was a way i could choose,
where i wouldn't lose.
I would die in your arms tonight,
and be revived by tomorrows light.
Because every breath taking moment.
Can never be stolen.
With you by my side,
its like waters morning tide.
If only i hadn't cried.

If there was a way i could choose,
where i couldn't' lose.
I would stay in your arms,
feeling no more harm.
Because its you ill want to stay with,
your my fairytale myth.
This is romance,
this is my last chance.

Screw the World, I Turn My Back On Thee

I sit here and thoughts fly by,
Wondering when the hell i may die.
I have a bullet, just one, maybe just once.
He will allow me to become a dead dunce.
This stupidity over comes me,
A rapid red sea.
Flowing away,
I set fire to it, coursing through my veins.
Burning from the inside when your not by my side.
I read to hours passing,
God you look so young, so strapping.
This isn't over lord, you understand me?
This love you have robbed me off,
this life withstanding.

Anger blurs to passion,
Passion blurs to rage.
Make my blood burn,
feeling trapped as if within a cage.
I kiss you,
you kiss me.
Nibbling with my sharp teeth.
moaning, hating loving still.
This love unbearable, because it will never be real.
My real love is away,
to this very day.
I want to be with him,
I just cant find a rhyme,
for a memory within that time.
So forgive me lord if i say.
SCREW THE WORLD!
let me die!

Locked Away

She'll lay on the floor as you whisper in her ear. 
All the disgusting things you think she wants to hear.
You'll break her arms and tear her throat, 
knowing how she loves to choke.
Your eyes will bury deep into her soul as blacken and dank as we'll ever know.
And deep inside locked caged and tight,
there roars a beastly monster that writhes and claws
to make your skin bleed the sweetest little lullaby.

Sleepy

Sleep deprived,
like a roller coaster ride.
Trying a new haiku
this thing it's so new.

Simply Love

I sit, staring out my window. This wonderous world surrounding me, the snow that falls and the stars that sparkle. I look around wondering if I've fallen into a dream. Each individual flake, an own personality. I stand slowly to stretch and realize I am cold. How many times have a stared out at the world? Felt no ones warm touch upon my cheek? I smile, saddened but spirits and head held high. My time will come, the end will start. This wonderous world surrounding me. Slowly turning in circles staring up at the flakes that want to consume me. I laugh, for I have never felt this free. Ten soldiers walk past me, carrying rifles. I stop to look, my blood running cold. A little child having stolen a loaf of bread quivering where he stands. Our world filled with hatred and war. There is an ugly red stain in where he stood. It seeps to the earth slowly, bringing forth life. An innocent little child having not been gifted, only taking which was not granted. Which was needed. A tear slips from my eyes, and freezes upon my cheek. I am turned and sheltered my face hidden within his chest. My own soldier protecting me from unfair and unjust acts within the world. He had not been gifted, nor granted such a simple thing as someone's warm touch. This wonderous world surrounding me. Harshed words upon the wind. My soldier stares at the stain, I can feel his pain in the harsh grip of his hands around my figure. The ridged stance of wanting to protect and to feel for himself. This world isnt meant for such destruction. I stand apart slightly from my soldier, and simply take his hand. I will grant him the touch of warmth when the wind steals that from us. If only the world saw our need for simplicity. A world filled with love, instead of hate.
