A Toast To Life and Love

To Life that Rude mistress
she comes to me
then leaves a mess

To Love Oh that cruel Mistress
She knocked on my door
and shattered my heart

To these two I gave my best
I gave my all
but all they gave me
were a couple shards

Now I sit here by this old oak tree
both names in a pierced heart next to me
the world around silent and still

Waiting for this next wave
oh that wave of destruction
that follows love and life

To those two I gave my best
I gave my all
But all they gave me
Was a pile of dust

Where did I go wrong?
Letting those two into my life?
Or was it the girls they embodied?

Nevertheless I sit here
Alone
Tired
Torn

Tell me what I must do now
Tell me where to go after this
Hurricane.

Why??

why would you lead me on only to tell me you hate me why did you take what I gave you only to return it to shreds why did you come back why were you so nice all things that bounce in my head You have changed I have lost you theres no turning back I will always be here I can always help you I will always be nice even when my heart is broken even when my every thought is to be mean I can bring myself to do that I cant bring myself to hurt you Why would you listen to me just to turn around and run Why would you come back And leave me breathless why did you come back why were you so nice all things that bounce in my head You came You broke You left But I will always be here I can always help I will always be nice But my only true question is Why did you come back just to leave again?

Someone

I am tired
I am weak
I fail at everything
I am weird
I am a freak
No one likes me
No one cares

The one word to describe me is FAILURE

I dont care about these labels
I dont care about anything
the only thing I care about is you
the only person who gets me
but even you dont understand
even you have labeled me
you might even relish the pain you inflict on me
I am fine with pain
I am fine with names
but being utterly lonely
being utterly scared
these are the things I cant stand
I want to talk
but my lips are sealed
and whenever I do say anything
I feel exposed
being shot down
with a single word
stings my soul

its hard to bind what you cant control
its hard to break that which cant be broken

the way I live now
is sleep through life
hoping praying
that someone will listen
someone will care
someone wont label me
someone will see the person
that I was meant to be

what is needed most
is a friend
someone who knows the pain
someone who feels the same need
someone who feels when I need comforting
someone who wont leave
someone who helps
even when I tell them to go away
they stay

even when I say that I hate them
even when I curse them
even when the very thought of being near me repulses them
they still stay near
they still make themselves be heard
they show me that they care
they show me that they want to help
they show me that I am being stupid
even when Im quiet they can see somethings wrong
even when I am talking about something
and not show anyone that I am hurt
they know
and they help

if only such a person existed
if only one person cared
I could live on
knowing that in a world out to get me
I still have someone on my side


all I want is a friend
pure and simple
a friend just like me
with their flaws and strengths
but I also have my flaws and strengths
people see my flaws more easy than strengths
I just want someone who can see my strengths easier than flaws

I may be tired
I may be weak
and I may fail at everything
I might be weird
I might be a freak
no one may like me
no one may care

but if you do
if you can bear to be near me
then show yourself
from the midst of the crowd
come to me with open arms
show me the light that you bear
in this cold world

Lost

Today I lost the best friend I ever had yesterday I lost the best moment of my life last week I lost Everything that mattered today I gained knowledge to span a lifetime yesterday I gained the worst moment of my life last week I gained Everything Else! I am lost in this world I am lost to everything around me I am lost to everyone who looks to me for help I am lost to friends who see me for who I am I find myself without I find myself with memories I find myself looking to the future I find myself searching for help no one around to give me a hand no shoulder to cry on no one to give me advice except these voices I hear except these friends surrounding me except these people I never saw except these people that the spotlight is on now Give me your hand give me aid please help me here teach me what I should do teach me where I should go teach me how I should feel I know nothing of this sort of thing I know nothing except what I lost today I LOST A FRIEND OH SO DEAR TO ME TODAY

When This Is Over

When this is all over
we will laugh at what we did

when this is all over
we would wish we were still friends

But when this is all over
I never want us to forget the times we slid

And when this is all over
I hope we can make amends

For what we did
how both of us got hurt

For what we still do now
give each other dirty looks

on days like this
Mine eyes avert

On days like those 
I wish we, our differences forsook

So when this is all over
my goal is to still be friends
and when this is all over
we can laugh at each other!
and at how we acted in high school

Sitting Here

Exhausted Tired Battered Beaten I feel so worn So numb to everything, and Everyone I scream for help I scream for reprieve No answer comes except my words echoed So here I am sitting Stuck in this rut Unable to see the world around me The sky above is dark Not a single star to lend me her light But its times like this that I think about you You probably don’t know You probably don’t care You probably don’t even look at me So here I am sitting Next to a lonely tree Watching the storm rage around me I get whipped by debris Dirt in my eyes, stinging burning. My mouth, Full of ash My fears like a poison Overwhelming my mind Paralyzing me Fatigued Drained Tattered Trampled I sit here contemplating The world around me black as night I see a brilliant light The light moves away from me fast Faster than anything ever seen Why does it do that? why does it leave? I never tried to do anything! I say im sorry She doesnt say anything. The field around me Empty and bare I scream out as loud as I can I AM SORRY Still nothing… except the echos that bombard me seconds later
