Sometimes I Wish I Didn'T Exist

Sometimes I wish, I didn't exist
I have so much inside of me building up 
I feel like I want to explode
like a volcano my blood runs down
abruptly it makes everything vanish and corrode
No remains of the broken pieces that was once Me
Do not mourn, for It is not worth the trouble
I have caused enough damage myself
Do not show remorse on my soul
For it has long before died within
I gave up
Not only on myself but on you..
You want the truth?
It is of my veins
Some green, some blue
Represents the green grass on the other side, that didnt break through
or the Blue sky filled with hope, that I looked up to..
Or was it you.. The center of my Heartbeat
and like the blood that runs through I let you go...

Freedom is Free, and its My price to list
just to live, Sometimes...
I wish.. I didnt exist.

Don'T Look Back

My shadow following behind me must has a motive to kill
and I have no alibi for my actions
I have been forewarned of the situation that is at hand
yet still not strong enough to take a stand
I have no will, just unwanted attraction
and the fact is..
I will always retract from the past
knowing no matter what I do it will never last
 yet I still look forward to looking back.

I Survive

Daggers, Swords, Knives
Things that can  kill in a blink of an eye.
That is what your words are made out of..
Break me down with your kiss of death
Breath into me that vapor of poison
That shrinks my veins
Suffocates my lungs to where I can barely breathe.
And yet I still can mutter the words " I Love You "...
you touch not gently but ever so rough
Your arms around me .. not a sign of endearment but a sign of hate..
And despair is what I felt because of it..
But yet never regret, for it is past
and it is a lesson I will never forget.
And I Build
And I Stand
And I Survive....

Upside Down Frown

You want me to smile, when theres nothing to smile 
about
to shine when your the one who gives me light
I seem to be alive but im much more dead than you 
realize..
I am nothing, who has nothing, but love for you.
Its hard to see
but my heart, my soul, every part of me, is dying within- 
every night I sleep...
These dark dreams awaken me to reality, that you and 
me- we're destiny...
just not in this lifetime it seems...
Make it known to me, tell me if you still see me how I - 
used to be
Tell me your not the monster in front of me...
and if its true, sweet surrender I give to you, my body- my 
mind,all of me is all of you...
I cant tell you in person, for fear of rejection, I love you- I 
love you, in every direction...
I can say much more, but my heart speaks just as much 
as these tears fall on the floor, 
Its too much to handle right now... I want to talk to you,
but dont know how...
I guess Ill smile..
I.... guess ill smile..

Rock and a Hard Place

Conflicted
constricted in this thought of mine
Im surrounded by wants and needs
with no means of differentiation.
How can I chose a path that is unknown
Where my heart is blinfolded...
How can I follow then?

Im Stuck...
Standing on the x marks the spot and have no means of keeping the treasure
just to know i can find it.. 
Will that sastify my hunt for love?

Conflicted, Constricted, and Confused...

White Wedding Dress

As I look around, A glorious decor
Everyone sitting around, those petals on the floor
Smiling faces, and wedding cake
A perfect picture you and I make
In black and white you stand at the altar
There's no way that this day could Falter

But Alas..

I wake up to know that my dream is a Nightmare
To see you with her, How could I NOT care!?
To think that could have been ME at that threshold
A page in my diary I SCREAM to you TENFOLD!

Why me?..

I sit and I ponder what could have caused this
What could I have done to ruin this bliss
I stop, because from god this must be a test
So I accept, I'll move on
and Say goodbye to that White Wedding Dress...

Encore

I'm done with waiting or hoping for people to change
I'm tired of chasin wild dreams
Shooting stars that are too far to catch up with
Lookin at pictures of the past hopin they turn into my futures number one film
That moment where you put everything youve known and put it up on show for everyone to see
Hopin that there's a point where it makes someone say:
 
"Thats the most beautiful thing ive ever seen"
 
So i put it out there in front of milions..
 
looking for that someone shouting.. ENCORE!

I Am Abstract

I cant keep living my life with a Painted on Smile
a frown turned upside down
and you standing there
admiring your gallery in all its glory
while the others attract you
I am Abstract
an abstract of the mind
and only in time will you see the beauty in art so complex
so complexed in context
so I cry.. 
so every painted lie runs dry 
and all that's left is a blank canvas..

Valentines Day 2012

The day that means so much to so many
Doesnt mean much at all
For those rose pedals that bloom so beautifully
Are destined to eventually fall
 
That card with what it seems to be words unspoken
Are not copywritten from the heart
It seems everything you say right
Begins a false start.
 
That glass vase shattered against the wall
I scream to the top of my lungs
No one has ever made me so upset
To where im speaking in tounges
 
I fall hard to the floor
My knees concave in
tears falling down my face
My heart let you win
 
No one will ever know how it feels on this day
To watch the one you love simply walk away
With no reason, no excuse, no fault to his own
I guess love wasnt meant to be, So Love is unknown....

Sun Never Rises

My days feel like nights

My nights never saw the day

For sun never rises

On clouds so gray
