Bare Thought

Boredom consumes me
It rips apart my entity
Until there is nothing left for me to be
Eternity is a lifelong process
With few things to caress
Hold those that are dear, close to your heart
Nothing can take them away
Anger can’t be controlled 
So take your bruises and black eyes
Internally, they will forever be there
Until there is nothing left for you to bear
Sadness I know well
It is my emotions that will always dwell
No one will ever tell
I hide it from every soul
To them I have control
No, they will never know
The true me deep inside
Because of how I lied
Inside of me I’ve died
Left no tears to be cried
I wrote my letter goodbye

Repetition

I look at the blade
I look at my skin
The two meet together
It is the perfect win
Blood dripping down my arm
Meeting with the bathroom floor
I just can’t seem to help myself
I just want more and more
The blood dries up
As do my tears
It feels so good
To get rid of my fears
But when the pain
Ceases to exist
My attention diverts
Back to my thoughts from my wrists
This process will repeat
As blade and skin meet
Time and time again
There will never be an end

Last Kiss

My one single death wish
Is to have just one last kiss
You holding me in your arms
Keeps me away from all harm
It is when you are not there
That I feel all this fear
Building up inside
But it comes as no surprise
And I know it all the same
This is real, not a game
I am always in danger
When by my unwelcomed stranger
He comes and knocks on my door
Prepared to settle a score
Between you and i
All he wants to do is make me cry
But then I run away and turn to you
To escape from all things cruel
All you do is hold me in your arms
And I am away from all harm
But I don’t see you all the time
And soon to be said no more
I am now dying
But still not crying
Because my one single death wish
Is to have just one last kiss

The Saddest Life

I heard a whistle in the air
As a little girl cried, “It’s not fair”
Because her parents did not care
Out late drinking every night
Coming home in a drunken fight
Things were never right
This little girl had one request
But this, her parents had to detest
She wanted things to be sane
Just simple and plain
One day with no fights
Or drunken late nights
These were her rights
But this her parents could not give
So it was she who could not live
It was for them
That she can never forgive
She cannot live for long
For it is she who will never belong
Picking a knife
Out of the kitchen drawer
She realizes
She doesn’t care anymore
She runs up and hides in her room
And as she looks out at the moon
She says her last goodbyes
And with the tears that she last cries
She slits her throat and dies
That little girl was me

Suffocate

With you it doesn’t ever matter
Who’s wrong or who’s right
You will purposefully cause trouble
Just to pick a stupid fight
On word will set you off
And then you push with all your might
You put your hands around my neck
I feel my throat get so tight
I kick and scream and beg
For you to let go of your grip
My face turns black and blue
I feel my whole body start to slip
You throw me to the ground
It’s my shirt that you rip
I just barely see the knife
But notice my blood start to drip
You say you never forgave me
For the things I said and did
You hated every ounce of me
Since I had our first kid
You’re a psychopath in a can
And I opened the lid
When I said goodbye to you
It was my life that I bid

First Love

Your touch so soft
Your voice so sweet
I feel the pain 
I feel the heat
Your body on mine just feels so good
I never thought
I would have understood
How you can make 
Me feel this way
After all of the times
I have been left astray
You took me in 
And loved me so
I want this feeling 
To grow and grow
Your skin so soft
Your mouth so sweet
I feel the pain
I feel the heat
The want and need 
For your hand in mine
Makes me willing to wait
Until the end of time
It’s only that
If you only knew
What this feeling
Has put me through
You might not be willing 
To stay around
Not knowing what
You would have found
I want you to stay
Always by my side
What other people say
Should not affect your pride
I just want you to know
That I will always care
If you ever need to talk
You know I am here
You can say anything 
Without any fear
But in return
I expect the same
I say this with trust
And without any shame
I am being honest 
And speaking with heart
I never want to break this
And make a brand new start
I like where we are
And want to stay together
Even if it is just for now
Although I want you forever

Insubstantial Truth

I lack the element of surprise
I keep no secrets or lies
There is no darkness in my eyes
I have no unsung cries

If you ask, I respond true
If I am down, you will see blue
You won’t ever say you never knew
I now belong to you

You on the other hand
I don’t know what you have planned
Or how much you can withstand
Or what you will demand

To be with you I’d give my all
But I don’t want to be the one to make you fall
When it is I that you enthrall
And I always feel so small

Because, for me it’s hard to trust
I need to know this can be love and not just lust
Accepting my flaws is a must
These are things we never discussed

You see, I know that lust turns stale
And that’s when most will bail
I am too insubstantial and frail
To see myself, once again, fail

This Is For You

All I ever want to do
Is think about, “What if,” with you
I know that you’re too good for me
I almost don’t want to wait and see
I know that one day, you’ll come around
And I’m not strong enough to get let down
I am crazy, controlling, and out of my mind
But you my fine friend are a one of a kind
You say that you’re stubborn
Just an arrogant ass
But since I have known you
You’ve done everything I’ve asked
You’re an all around good guy
That anyone should want
To think you’d choose me
Is it I that you taunt?	
I know that I’m not all you deserve
And so it’s my heart in which I try to conserve
Putting aside how I may feel for you
There would be many obstacles for us to go though
And I know that one day you will need to be free
And that probably means not keeping me
But because this is for you not me
I will wait around to see
If there is a way for, “us,” to be

Only Alone

My mother disowned her child today
I stood there with nothing I could think of to say
I have no other family or friends to turn to
I have nobody here that is faithful and true
I am alone in this cruel harsh place
I stand here prepared to take life on face to face
I have nothing left to offer so why am I here
Standing in a crowd filled with hate and fear
I have nowhere left to run, and nowhere to hide
So how do I escape this anger building up inside?
I need to release some sort of feeling
Not one that can be attained
By sex, drugs, or stealing
I need to feel some sort of life
But not the kind you get
By bringing other people strife
I want to have a place 
That I can call my home
I want to have someone to love me
So I won’t ever be alone
This feeling that I have
Is to hurtful to be real
Because of this pain and anguish
My emotions I cannot feel
I need of this world to let it be
Where I am no longer me
I do not want you to feel bad
My death only make me no longer sad

This Is My Creed

Then,
I was ugly and modest
And you were greed
When I was so hungry
It’s yourself you would feed
You didn’t ever help me
When I would bleed
You always beat me down
No matter how much I would plead
But I was an addict
And you were my speed
Now,
I am beautiful and strong
And, in capturing me, you will not succeed
I am braver than I was
Without you, I have been freed
I thought you were what I wanted
But you are not what I need
Now that you are gone
My life without you will proceed
You tell me you still love me
But you, I won’t mislead
To you I was always honest
I have done my deed
If you ever feel doubt
This you can reread
I hold to what I say
These words will always take heed
