Hardest Tears To Fall

Tears too much in which you bleed
Heart aches toll, low sub's breathing
For then, in them, is shown in your skin

May it be brushed over
So it may sit to seep in this pale face
For you're in health
But yet sick in your emotions
Too close you can not bare now, today,
tomorrow, or again in yesterday's
For your pain is nearly not bared

I pray for you and your sister when weeping
Hoping that you will not drown in all sorrows
But cry when times are closed

Mother is all, not yet lost, for her heart lives inside yours
Knowing of a passing before it happens isn't so strong
But the second it comes, she goes and all weights toll
Heavy your heart is, you carry it like the ones in that room
All seems silent till a sob is heard

Here at this event, the dark colors are all in the lights
The cold faces all glow so bright
For this woman has brought life into the minds
that breathed well before her time

To a loss like this, I would not bare
Alone I would feel, to a special youth that I still endore
For she is what's left of me; whom I may speak to, and 
whom would listen

As to you and your family, may you all lay close to her
May you breathe the way she has breathed
May you all see what she has seen
And may you hear all things she has heard

Her passing does not make your separation,
it only draws you closer
For the day of her event, bless her soul's crossing
for she stands in the clouds
Smiling above all your scene's
In hopes that you will all remember that she is still
there even through these means

I pray for you and your family to give potency and healing
To rejoice on the day she rose on cloud nine
And touched God's face
For this moment do not dwell in the loss
Cry long but not for ever and remember
her years journey that she has completed
She is in thy safest place and thy hearts of whom she loved

Simple Suicide

Death is all in the mind
Thinking only of it for sometime
Will things be different or the same
When I am gone under my tame

Knife to use, to let skin flow
Blades from shave, let blood go
Cuts on the arm
Now fades, so don't be alarmed

Cuts on the leg
Look like dark threads
Slits on the wrist
Barely seen, it's a twist

Thinking it was over, how wrong
Hiding in the closet, deaf for long
Here, the face is purple pale
But still breathing well under life's spell

Running to the restroom
Forming the cuts again in my doom
My blood mix's with water
Turning pink, may not utter

Head first; deep
Thinking it will be better in my sleep
Diving in deeper, losing more breath
Knowing I could do it, it was like theft

Coughing up water from the mouth and nose
I quickly get out for my clothes
Sports bra seen
An idea rings

Again with the cold face
But dying wasn't a race
Stopping, for it wasn't too tight
Now I've face no light

Bed time rose
My face and my nose
Both covered by a pillow
I die my good fellow

Yet, it did not close this neck
Trying to find, I am recked
For a new way to end
So I won't have to begin

Choking at school
No one notices me, a fool
With my hands on my neck
Ready to ride hell's deck

Options were limited
And my life was sprited
Trying so hard
But there were no death cards

My Matter

How I feel, doesn't matter
It's all about them
And how  their world ain't no platter
To serve them, and their red matter

With their troubles against mine
My words are tied
Short breathes on their broken lives
Explain'in how everyone dies

All about them, not about me
Holdup, holdup, what about me
I had no easy platter
People think my life don't matter

It's bad so what, get over it, no luck
So what, so what, is all they say; so what
My life ain't no game
I still feel pain
Cause I feel my shame
When I see your fame
So smile in vain
So what, so what, is heard by me;
So what

I didn't matter before
So why am l surprised now
Everyone's backs been at me, how
Cause they see no girl, but a cow

So I get off my knees
And still everyone's avoid'in me 
I don't beg them please
Cause I know they don't know me
I know that they don't care
So why do I not bare
Bare with the lies 
All the crazy fights
And all the broken lives

I lost in my mind
No one can save me in time
So why do I lie
No I'm not okay
Cause I still have to pay
For the cost of the vivid days

Still so clear, I ask my dear
No dear, no mother, no father
I ain't got them on my back
So my heart beats off track
My breath'in becomes an attack
Cause I lost one dad
To a dark given cell
Lost one mom
From her stupid silent spell
And lost one lover
Who's mind didn't know me well

How I feel, doesn't matter
It's all about them
And how their world ain't no platter
To serve them, and their red matter

Little Beast

Bitterness in the blood
Anger in the heart
Anxiety in the lungs

All are boxed
Stored in this brain
is where the mind is tamed
Where the evil is locked

You see this girl,
this girl you call me
is scared by these three things
that bond by a ring

You believe it to be a dream,
but is the truth, just a reality
that will start from a scream
Making all things, no normality

Darkness that rose, sitting in the eyes
marks that death will come
to end all the lives

Barried in the sewers
Locked in that prison
Find it here, behind it all
Never to be free
Never shall it be, 
for its' release will feed

With a strike of its hand,
they all will be dead
By the smile on its' teeth,
necks will bleed
With no regrets
Its' arrogance is met

Not caring who lives
Nor of those who die
Its' mouth will spread
To do or to die

All will perish
Because of a broken heart,
and a quite mind
A mind that suppresses,
all those that are malevolent,
hard to forget
all things that happen to thee

Why must they use
Why do they play
Why do they trick
take
Slapping this face

All don't seem to care
Pushed away by that man
Fight if you dare
Hold back, hold tight
to all those tears
With no words to compare
No love was there
Attention stopped here
The heart's been tared
With sobs you couldn't hear

Is no wonder
the demon is in her
Locked in a cage
She feeds it her pains
growing from shame
It won't be tamed

"Let me loose," will it say
She Screams, " no, no one will die today"
"You will be free
of all things indeed
regrets won't be a need
you won't care if they beg please,"
Is all the demon says as he pleads

"NO,
You shall not be free
You won't define me
I won't let you free
because it will not be me"

The more it sets
The closer the demon gets
Through the windows of the soul
all will be black
and that girl will lack
all memory, of all death
With all that pain of mental mess
Won't you save thee
From the demon in her chest?

I Am Borg

Learning but not understanding
Touching but not feeling
Seeing but not reaching

Life is irrelevant
Collectives are sufficient
Futile for resistances
As we are efficient

But
With my connection severed
I am no member
Now lost forever

When I have regenerated
I will be evaluated
Then I will be assimilated

Because I am Borg

Mental Mess

Power in the mind
The thoughts are tied
Negative over turns positive
And my heart's beat; radioactive

Cursed by the mind's repeat
Gives the realist defeat
Weak in this one heart
My blood flow does not know where to start

So cold and dark,
May the skin's color change like bark
Hear the thought of death
Be best within rest

It never ends
Because my mind's in this trend
As I try to pretend
That your actions don't offend

But then I begin
To watch your heart grow thin
After caring for me then
And now I'm crushed from within

Guilt Free

Sharp pain from dark's letters
Cold days from bodies whether
Where silent haze will not show her
This face that covers
What tartar bitters?

With the knife of a blade
Strikes through cranium's waves 
Protrudes through the musculus fiber ways
Where the vines pound at the same
There, on the temple it breaches to stay
Pound above, all again

Attacks at the vest
Rapids at best
Tightens on set
In a Minor chest
Hear that red pumping yet?

By the hard tips; pink
Brush the skin weak
Where the flake spills to force a wink
Darkens the mark that cleared the weeks
Ready to bleed, wash by the sink

Seeking the night
To lose a fight
Destroys that only light

Fade back and dream again
To the emotion that is no pretend
Manipulated by a causing trend
See it yet fall, all till ten
By the numb of a limb
Ask
The end

Knocks In the Head

Like a dull needle to the head
It scorches the veins 
Violently raiding
The neck can not turn
With the kitchen above
Pain scowls
Drawing to the temples 
Running to the forehead
The bridge screams
At the side of the nose
With veins throbbing
Ready to burst and bleed

Disrupted, the power source weakens
And the body now hangs
By the spine, limbs run dead
The heart beats loud
Heavy but slow

The blood rushes
At the high
You wouldn't believe; 
A thin girl
With pressure that screams
Death
At any day
For as so the blood reaches

Shivering body
Useless for walks
Tightens the lungs
With airs sucked in
It's release is unlikely
Like an under weighted model

Lights to the eyes
Brighter than any
In those past days
Seem to laugh today
Blinding the sight
And causing veins to fight
Pounding through skin
The temples keep them back

With it's speed
Sound strikes the drums
Causing sights of blur

Resting away makes it worse
Veins pressed to the pillow
Throb by the weight of the head
And it's compression by the pillow

Tossing and turning does not save the pain
So the pills are taken
To make them die away
By the hour that passes
Weakness is still there 
But the pain no longer exists 
Only for now

'what In Whom,' Is Everything

To hear them is what's easy
But to understand them
I wouldn't make much of them

I don't know how to feel them
Given only the numbness
Or how to say them
Given only the discomfort
And tightness amongst the neck
Yet I'm told that I show them

How could I want something,
I don't understand
Let alone be uncertain of their works
Of the actions they place,
that I can't feel

I smile but am uncertain
Uncertain about why I don't feel
Since or understand them

With them
I don't mix with
But sit below them
Like the water's and oil's
I do not blend

When I reach
They draw away
And I receive nothing
But that empty light of pink
A color drawn for nothing
But to represent them

I don't have them in me
But if they do sees to exist,
then may they be that speck in my heart,
be of dust

Even if they show, will it be of lust or purity
I can't say what they are
Or how they will resonate
But the truth is uncertainty
And the ability of the emo to lack them

This may explain the loneliness that's felt
As well as the numbness that created the emptying

I want them so the freedom will stay
I need them so that I won't die away
But it seems forbidden from heart,
which causes this pain to storm in my cages

I have everything
But yet, I feel like I have nothing

That's why the livid stay's and darkness rises
They are still gone
And no one knows or sees it
A struggle for the heart to express them

I may care but it does not mean that it bares
the life for them

I may see what I can't touch
And I may feel the sick tighten the vest,
but it does not make me oblivious to them
I'm aware and respect with no words
But fall flat with no knowledge of their voice
And wonder if their sound will ever reach me
Because "they in them," is everything
Everything I cant seem to reach

You Hate That I Love You

I love you, but you hate me
I want to hold you, but you'd shove me
I want you're love, but you'd want my hate
Why do you judge, when love is fate

Afraid then
of only what,
that if I kissed you
you wouldn't stop me
that you would actually fall for me

You've placed your boundaries
that I would never cross
you avoid my eyes
to look at the time
running from that part of me 
that discomforts you

You judged that part
but without knowing my heart
You pushed me away
when I wanted you stay

But still you don't know
that I think about you everyday
that when you avoided me
I loved you any way

Even after that day
even when I stayed away
even when I tried to build hate each day
I still love you any way
