Suicide

Standing on the shore, A girl fully clothed with no shoes. Her eyes filled with great suffering.. .lost hope ensues. As she notices the water stretches as far as she can see, her hearts implore won't let her be. The sky changes color. First green to blue then gray. Much to her dismay her shattered emotions now egress. "The color gray, the color gray." her tears profess traveling down her face "Oh, why the color gray." A color so dark, so deep, still allowing you to see the depiction of sadness it brings. To the sky, in her heart, buried deep in her mind. In the sky is that feeling. A very isolated out-pour of a feeling.. a feeling she tryed so desperately deny. The tide, closing in. small foamed waves now landing at her feet. It's so cold, the water. Identical to her, how she feels, all she only knows now. Numbness. Weakness. and her defeated soul. Depleted ..A heart is now left with no beat. She reflects on the lost hope her broken heart tried to hide. Seeing within herself the damage it has done. "Love is it" she says in a soft whisper ".. love is it." The disturbance of the oceans song snatched her out of realization. As she listened to the water, as it forcefully emerges hitting the shore and it's rocks with all it's might, as she listened to the water cascade back towards the ocean only to return hitting harder. The ripples and waves. Uncontrolled, involunterily. She is relieved for the ocean is singing the same song. Her song.."Love is it" she mumbled. "It understands how I feel. It knows exactly what I am going through." She smiles. "Love is it. The beating of my heart, with pain constrained inside it. The utmost sadness. Blinded happiness and misguided hope." The heart lies beat-less... No more discursion: Her last thought before submerging her body deep into the depths of ocean. In acceptance. Drowning. No longer standing on the shore. A girl fully clothed with no shoes.

Loveless Monster

What we have isn't love. 
So why cry over "losing" you.
Where are the reasons I should 
hold on.
Nowhere.
The relationship was going 
nowhere.
My happiness was torn to shreds.
You couldn't be trusted.  

What we have isn't love.
So why lie to ourselves any longer. 
I may not know what love is.
But I know what love ain't.
Pain.
And pain was all you gave me.
You were selfish.

What we have isn't love.
What we had was never love. 
You were never the man I needed 
you to be.
You didn't try. 
You didn't try to love me. 
So.. It's over. 
You were a loveless monster.

I Love You Deeply

I love you deeply.
But I don't want you to know.
You try to take advantage of this.. this unbearable feeling.
You turn it from joy to pain.
You turn it to regret and it hurts.
It hurts that I love you
It hurts that I can't stop loving you.
It's hurting me as I try
because I honestly don't want to stop.
I'm pushing you away.. the further you get
the more stable I begin to feel
I feel like I'm winning, I feel strong
then I realize
Nothings changed
I still love you deeply.

Playing Victim

She lay there weeping, pouring her heart out. "Nothing ever goes my way, Not tommorrow, not today. I am in a world where I am not loved. I don't even love myself. I can't get anyone to listen. But listen... It's too much, Can't you see that I'm hurting, these tears spurting right through my eyes. Why? Why does this happen, and only happen to me? Please hear my plee. I'm going through a lot. The thought... well no wait.. I thought you cared. Oh my gosh! This is exactly what I feared. Lonlieness. I can't do this, where can I find hope and bliss. Love to dismiss.. the.. It doesn't matter does it? Happiness? Oh that doesn't exist. I'm hated, you could have waited... Right? It is all your fault, I have no faults. I did nothing, Your the blame, damsel? I'm in distress, yes because I can't count on nobody. Not even you, I should though. whoa.. overeacting.. I never do that. You know what? Forget it, I'll be fine, just go. Let me suffer although, when you needed.. I was there.." and just like that I fell victim to a victim.

Can'T Stop Missing You

Missing you.. is harder than ever.
My whole world grows cold. then.
Well.... then, there's nothing but stormy weather.
The moon turns black and the sun no longer shines.
Not hearing your voice is like a sickening disease.
Eating at the flesh of my body, draining the energy out of my soul.
Destroying the core of my heart.
It pains me, but I'm strong and willing to hold on..
Hold on to you and your soul
to us, and our love
to me, and my heart
Yes!.. the one that beats for you and you only.
But still... I just can't stop missing you.

The Pit of Love

You gripped your hands around my neck.. 
Looked into my eyes with hate and I still love you. 
You proceeded to drag me with no regard for the pain you’d inflict on me 
Right onto the ground, as if I meant nothing to you,
and you still mean everything to me.
See, in the pit of my stomach, I am nauseated with love and heartache. 
As I reflect on every decision you’ve made to hurt me, I still forgive you.
It was every night that I was with you, 
that I was reminded of the man you’ll never be. 
But I’d ask myself, who would love you if I gave up on you
Who would be your light at the end of the dark tunnel you’re traveling through. 
And yea, I really thought I could guide you through. 
If I just stuck by you
In every aspect of your life, you have been abandoned.
In every aspect of your life, you have been given up on. 
And though..I have seen first hand the beast you can be, 
I still wanted to be your beauty. 
All that’s left is this feeling of twisted tremors, 
and tight knots in the pit of my stomach. 
Where, my brain and my heart can’t make sense of all you’ve done, or anything that I feel for you. 

It was every night that I was without you, 
that I fantasized about the idea of you 
and what we could be together. 
I believed in you more than you believed in yourself, 
and the proof is in the way I let myself be vulnerable to you...
The way I let myself be susceptible to this physical and emotional pain
That you’d cause time and time again.
Why couldn’t you step up to your own plate?
Become a better man...A healthy man? 
Why couldn’t you give back the same love, dedication, and strength I carried on my back for you. 
See, in the pit of my stomach, I am sick with love and heartache. Troublesome strains that linger there because I can’t figure out how it is fair, that in love, you can grieve a relationship you’ve never had and only striven for? Realistically, I never had the best version of yourself I always knew you could be. I fought for this relationship with nothing but the belief that someday you would set yourself free. 
From the constraints of insecurities and trauma you’ve been dealt in life. 

And now.. Now that I am finally at the point of pressing charges, 
I want you to know that I still believe in you, 
that I know you can be a healthy man. 
I want you to know that this isn’t easy for me, 
even though many would agree, that it should be.
I’m so sorry, but.. 
You’ll just have to get to that place of peace without a gift like me.

Get Out of My Head

I scream at the thought of him in my mind. I feel like something's not right.
It's not possible for him to belong where he stands right now. Dominating my thoughts, my love, my happiness. He enfolds me and I know he's liking it. Torturing me, abusing me, disturbing me. I'm afflicted with confusion as he sends me mixed signals hitting me hard from both ways with electrical impulses. Stinging me, hurting me, piercing right through me. His incisive ways had me, still how do I get him out, this isn't right. I'm hurting, suffering, yearning for an escape. I run he catches me, I hide, he finds me. It's like I'm his prey. His mouth watering meal, Only he doesn't stop eating. One bite and I'm infected, my mind, ow.. It's corrupted, defiled. I'm poisoned and he's enjoying it. Watching me get weaker and weaker everyday. He watches as I continue to fall, falling into his trap and I am scared to fight back. It feels like a curse. I can't rid myself of him. AHH!  I like the attention I receive before he comes back to ruin it. The sweet feelings in my stomach, turned foul. I'm wanting to die, I can't survive much longer... I'm begging, Pleading.. I'm asking you please.. please just.. Get Out of my Head!

Why Huh

Why do we want to Love? Huh? ... When Love.. Love is filled with lies. Love tells you it's alright when it's all wrong, It tells you to stick around when you should be going. So why??? Why when I'm happy, Love want's me sad, Why when I try to move on it's the only thing I find holding me back? WHY???? Why when I tell myself I no longer Love, Love assures me that I still do. Why does this Love inside my heart hurt me. Why do I want it to stay? Why do I want to love? Huh? When I know things will remain the same, When I know I could do better without it. I'm so young and there's alot more for me to see. Why do I insist on your love? Huh?

Prey'D

I'm suffocating in the darkness
blinded by misperception
trying.. so hard to escape
What do you want from me?
My mind? My body? My soul?
I turn left, looking for you still unable to see
but I feel your presence, I since your near
with panic, I turn right, I know your there
you strike me!..
on the ground, I hear the sound of your hatred
I don't deserve this!
Why am  I always... always being prey'd?

Deep and Never Ending

Feelings are deep, the beat is never ending.
My mind is always gone, sometimes I catch it descending.
Going down wishing.. wishing you we're mine sooner.
Looking back lost, thinking love was out to get me
to feed on my heart and trample over my soul.
Breaking through my barrier, turning my body cold.
Then I look at you, right into your eyes.
Saying to myself, is this some sort of disguise?
I realize this love is not what I'm use to.
It's much more inspiring and feels more true.
It doesn't scare me away, it pulls me much closer.
I don't cover my eyes, or hide behind excuses.
I admit.. My feelings for you..
Are deep and never ending.
