I Would Die For You

I would still die for you
Even if I wanted to hate you
Maybe it’s that fact, 
I love you.
Or maybe, 
I just want to die.
My pain is still true
My pain is still for you
I’d die right now, 
If you wanted me to.
You don’t love me
You made it clear
I’m another blood stain, 
On the floor.
I’m only there to amuse you, 
But I can be washed away.
Like everything else
The love I had, 
Sure it’s gone.
But I would still die for you, 
Just to stop the pain.

Pain

I don't know what he sees in me
I don't know why he cares...
For some reason it makes me happy
Even know I will always bring him pain
He doesn't believe me
When I tell him these things
He says he loves me
That's all that matters
I don't believe his words
I truly think he's insane
But I love him for trying
Even know I will always bring him pain

Angel

A fallen angel

My hearts delight

Simplicity is the kiss

That makes a smile alight

A broken angel

With a missing heart

A lost beat

I’ll hold it close

A smile is what I ask

Do you ever dream of happiness?

Light up the world

With one single word

With a far away look

I wonder what it took

To put a smile on your face

To put a heart in that chest

Do you dream of happiness?

What’s it take, to make or break?

A smile is all I ask

Just a glimmer of some happiness

When you’re the world

That’s all I really ask

Light up the world

Sometimes it’s good to forget the past

Failure

My life is failure 
I can’t deny it anymore
I hate my mom
I hate my dad
I hate my friends
I hate my enemies
And I hate myself
It’s not worth 
This life I lead
Pain and suffering
Filled with greed
Bottles of blood
Precious razor blades
Self help
And support groups
I’m going to hell
I don’t care anymore
I forgot what I’m looking for
My life is filled with
Pills, lighters,
Never forget 
The razors
The pain inside
Is almost unbearable
Another day
Another pill
Another night
Another thrill
Will I survive
Or will I kill
Blood gushing
Heart pounding
How long?
This is my failure

A Side a Story a Lie

Take my heart
Sell my soul
Ill never be whole

Thats my heart
Clutched in your fist
I could feel it beat
But the memory past

Maybe I have a reason,
To overreact
You took my world,
Broke it in half

My jumbled words,
Make no sense
Like a puzzle,
Mix and fit

I'm in the dark,
Left here alone
Broken hearted,
Left like always

I have no reason for trust
The simplicity of your kiss
How could I miss,
What always comes next

Youll never win
Thisll never end
The morbid games we play
You love every second

My shattered heart
Still beats fast
My love for you
Always last

Whispering sweet words,
Only from you
Ill never hear them,
Youll never mean it

Kill myself
Cut me deep
Sit down
Watch me weep

Shattered and broken
I cant turn away
Lost and weak
Ill never leave

Slit my throat
Drop to the floor
Broken hearted
Last to know

Not Worth It

Written in my skin
Is everything I could have been
The words you said
Turned it into a game
Everything I’ll never see
I have better things to do
Then sit here thinking of you
I hide my tears
With a smile filled with pain
But you’ll never notice
You’re blind to my emotions
I’d rather die
Then give you the pride
Of seeing how much
You really hurt me
You’re not worth my time
Or my silent tears and rhyme
You didn’t even notice
Or you just didn’t care
The pain you bring me
Is too much to bear

Relapsing

I play with razors
 I watch it bleed
 I help it scar
 I keep it close,
 So you might never know
I'm relapsing again,
 Hold on tight 
You’ll regret that night
 But anyways,
Back to that
Better hold on tight
That’s  right,
Hold on tight
I’m relapsing tonight
Yeah, it’s so cute
It’s so cute,
 When you pretend to care
It breaks my heart every time
You’re a good actor
But I’m better
It’s so cute,
It cuts like a knife
Sew it up tight
Take a deep breath,
I’m relapsing tonight

Real

Clean sheets
White paper
Pain and suffering
Darken these lines
Destroying the light
Burying the sun
Through the dark
Find your way
Starry skies
Whisper and prey
Was it always this way?
Remember times
The sun shone high
The sounds of darkness
Were just a lie
Now it’s here
Now it’s real
How did it become?
Doesn’t matter
As long as it’s real

Hell

I hide my scars
And tell the lies
Hopeful days
Past and died
Silent tears I cried
Burning scars to hide
Fear rising up inside
I don’t understand
The life you live
The pain you hide
The lies you shield
Desperate moves
Made in time
Tried so hard
Fell so fast
Down in the dark
Broken by none
Live this life
Life of lies
This is my prison
This is my jail
Locked away in this hell

Elements

Craving attention
Digging a hole
Let it rain
Watch you drown

Bury it deep
Pound the dirt down
Forget the lies
Watch the clouds

Storms brew
Lightning strikes
Thunder pounds
Rain pours down

Remember the forgotten
Tainted tears cried
Pointless fires started
Endless starry skies

A cry in the night
Unheard voices in the dark
Pain drips down
Clouds cover the sky

Snow falls 
Blizzard of flakes
None the same
Unlike the others

Blowing wind
Burning the unknown
Pounded in the ground
Wakened is the forgotten

Tamed fire
Dancing in the wind
Shedding fury
To late to fight

Clouds hover
Rain falls
Buried in the ground
Forgotten like the others

The wind blows
Muffled screams
Whispers float
Heard in the dreams

Burn like the fire
Blow like the wind
Falling like the rain
Buried in the earth

The unforgotten 
Whispers heard
Muffled the screams
Blowing in the wind
