Hidden Message

Saying goodnight in many ways 
As these trees sway 
I shall be the one you never forget 
Being underneath the big deep blue sea 
I ponder my thoughts 
As if the memories are not enough to share 
Maybe here or maybe there
I believe these sweet nothings you whisper in my ear
Wishing to be left alone 
Unbelievable is now 
Never able to hear the sound of love 
Though temptation never failed to be in my life 
As if it was my blood 
I'd say it was just that 
Though I knew I would be at loss 
Once you were to pass into the gate of heaven 
That night I took all those memories and pictures out of mind 
Only to let my poor mind rest for just a night 

Say goodbye in more then thousands of ways
As the wind whispers 
Trying to remind me how lonely I became
I lie awake in bed 
Making the pain intoxicate my body 
I only wished for you to be at peace 
Now I know 
My body let the pain enter for yours to be at rest
Waiting to touch the sky 
Running from a long way 
Torn to pieces while I rest my fingers upon these keys
With only emotional touch
My love has gone
My name has been rejected for death
My story spoken to the world through these words 
My heartache no longer matters 
So I shall not complain 
For I laid my own for the one I loved to be in piece

High School Years

My wheels roll on, as my speed is very fast.
Each day is a memory, one I share.
Share with a special friend, with long black hair.
I see you in the hall, while you look past.
Wonder if you will remember our class.
As for the girl, who follows me to class and everywhere.
I hope you'll remember the girl made of glass. 
As we both wonder if we'll end up elsewhere.
If we look back, we will realize high school wasn't all that bad.
As our graduation nears we all have some fears.
I hope we all have had the same fun.
After all these were just our high school years.
As if the girl made of glass has shattered from these tears.
I hope we all had a great fantastic year.
Because this poem reveals not only how i feel but it also reveals more then just happy tears.
Never forget these high school years, also never forget the girl made of glass.

Toxic Love

Realize how no one compares to you
When intoxicated you drown out the sorrow you've locked a way 
From seeing all those tiny little specks of gold in your eyes
I knew the moment I met you 
That those three words would never come from your lips 
With an toxic kiss 
A sewed up heart
It all seems so clear now

I know the story you hide behind
The only thing you had was love 
Until one shattered that sewed up heart of yours
I believe in the dreams you leave behind 
I see the notes unfold every moment you look into my eyes
Just by seeing those beautiful brown eyes 
You behold the logical reason of never saying I love you 
Though I still wonder why you look into my eyes
Intoxicating me with that mysterious look
But knowing you the reason of falling for someone you knew for so long never really works out

Toxic kiss
Toxic look
Toxic love
Toxic touch
Toxic everything
Intoxication never used to work on me 
For I was just the girl behind the class
Always chosen last 
Never anyone's friend
With belief Neverland and peter pan was a real place and person
But I guess being loved by you was all it took to fall 
Thinking intoxication was the only way my heart would yield for moments every time you were in sight

Love Is a Joke

This is funny 
Like a joke 
Though they say love can never be a joke 
Though most times all love really ever is 
Is a joke 
So be prepared to laugh
At the moment your love ends the joke
Even if you fake a laugh or a smile 
All love is the joke of the year
Cliché you say 
Though all the promise and kisses just seem funny to all but you
Just lie between the covers wishing love wasn't just a joke 

You lie in bed awaken by the nightmare of someone leaving
I guess clowns aren't funny any longer
For love has taking over the parts of clowns and anything funny
Held by thread
Sewing more then just a stupid sweater
Read the punch line of everything 
We're just laughing at love as if it was a joke 

Just a joke 
Made from love
The punch line so funny 
Holding on to what may seem as a joke 
Believing it may be just plain old love
Just a joke

Broken Vows

For the times you spent in the arms of someone other then me
As my name spills out your mouth like some bad tasting medication 
Kicking me to the ground while you stand there praying for my death
Evolutionary these words never meant a thing to you 

Venom fills the mouth but never kills a liar
Over the rainbow I sit while I watch from behind a glass window
Wishing I was blind so I couldn't see the way you look in her eyes
Spilled secrets seem as if they all were wine spilling on that white T-shirt of yours

Cheating is like dying 
My heart now stopped by the sight of summer relationships dying 
I stand here numb by the sights of couples hiding behind lies
I realized that was the day I died 

I speak these words like they mean something to you
knowing no real meaning will ever get through your thick skull 
I tore our vows that day you broke the promise of loving me as if I was the only particle of oxygen

A Beautiful Angel From My Nightmare

?

My mind is imperfect
I’m trapped in between these walls
As they caving in I’m reminded of a beautiful angel 
An angel that has been beating and thrown to the wall 
I never showed emotion until this beautiful angel came along 
Looking for reason to save this angel 
Knowing I deserve less then this beautiful angel 
I caught myself in familiar cases 
Only the difference being the angel was my demon
An love was the love that never would die 
Taking all even the breath out my lungs 
Tore me apart when that demon left
Breaking the walls that protect my heart 
As I built the wall once more to protect my heart once again
Holding onto the pain from past heartache 
But now brick by brick this angel takes down the wall protecting my stitched heart 
Looking in the eyes of a beautiful angel 
Makes me feel like no one could break me again 
Beautiful angel tell me
How can you love someone but be broken at the same time?
The beautiful angel from my nightmare just laughed not replying to my question I asked 
This beautiful angel had this broken smile making me wonder if love broke this angel too
Holding back from being loved and questioned 

My mind is imperfect but beautiful 
For I am trapped between these walls
As they cave in I’m reminded of an beautiful angel 
An angel beat and thrown against walls 
From stopping love from entering this stitched up heart
Remaining between the caving walls 
I ponder of everything great
Not knowing weather to stay and save this beautiful angel 
As a broken smile rests upon the lips of an angel 
To break 
To build
To blind eyes from love
Not to forget the types of things you’d do 
For this angel 
From a nightmare

Love

Love
A word used to lower someone in 
Knowing that your love means nothing 
Love, beautiful for ladies and lads who grow up knowing the meaning of love
I'd say to define love 
Knowing in my heart all you live off of is lust
Lust like poison 
Love pure and beautiful with a sweeter taste 

A new chapter 
Only to realize 
Your love was just lust 
The worst part of looking into someone's eyes to only find lust 
Most say lust is just some type of love
But the truth behind lust is just some horny teen or adult
The one thing that comes before goodbye 
So lust is just an invite for sex 
Not any type of love 

Love so beautiful 
Love never to run 
Slipping out of lust into love
Love is love 
Back to back
We knew love was crazy 
But true love is better then just lust
Hand me love not lust 
I won't stop to let go 
Breaking only one promise to my own 
Making love the first rather then just lust

First Love First Sight

Falling in love at first sight 
Like stripping down your emotions 
Not wanting to break the eye contact 
That moment you see in movies 
Where every kiss is sweeter 
When lips move in sync 
An the taste making you drunk every time 
That moment you fear the outcome will be bitter
Though it seems so much sweeter in dreams
The time where you feel safe 
When you keep asking yourself “what is love?”
When it feels more then just right 
It’s sort of silly how we all believe our love is like a fairytale 
Not believing in love at first sight
Who’d ever of thought my lover would be my best friend
Falling in love at first sight 
Remembering when we were just kids
Holding onto each other when we knew we had to part for the night
Realizing it was just love 
Every moment we looked into each others eyes
Seeing our growth 
The way we love
Every reason was love 
Every moment was fear 
Every night was now only in the past
The truth of love 
Defined in too many ways 
Though we define it every time we touch hands 
Falling in love at first sight 
Never felt so right
I still have no idea how it’s you 
With these eyes holding back truth with pain
Hoping this love lingers behind making love pleasing to others 
First sight I fell in love 
More than words could explain it
But with reason I’ll just speak my love through words

Devil's Spell Broken

My thought on love never meant anything 
Until I was broken by someone I never really knew
One heart stood alone 
Only to be broken 
I never meant those I love you’s
I just wanted to say what I’ve never even felt 
Though I meant what I told you would happen if you were to find someone new
Those secrets you told about me taking a toil 
Once alone always alone
Now I’m lying on stone cold tiles 
Wishing or waiting 
That has not yet to be decided 

My thought on love
Until I set eyes on my dark knight 
I just stood still watching 
His intoxicating smile 
His mesmerizing eyes 
Hands in pockets as he walked towards 
Never meant to bother a beauty like you
He said in an husky tone 
I opened my mouth to reply 
Though nothing came through
It seemed to be more of a spell 
Like all fairytales began with
Never to motion 
No one ever seemed so kind but yet so mysterious 
Time passed by 
As my heart skipped every moment he walked by 
Not to say a word 
Or doom may be close by I told myself 
I refused to just stand still 
As I walked toward him 
I realized this is love 
I said hi 
As he just laughed 
Staring into my duel eyes 
He then realized the same poetic thing 
He replied 
Say this beauty speaks I’ve broken the devil’s spell, now only to steal a kiss from this beauty
I smiled and started to reply ‘
But it seemed to be too late
For his lips were pressed to mine 
With that I never hesitated to kiss his soft lips back
My thought on love 
The most powerful 
The most exchanging 
The most poetic
With one dark knight 
Whom broke the devil’s spell 
Pure beauty in love
So much meaning 
Within two hearts as one 
A mended heart 
From a dark knight 
I cherish the moments 
As he kisses me

Love Found Away

?
Why would you leave the ones you love behind?
Nothing compared then both their smiles
Though the memories still remain
He became distant 
Like nothing mattered to him
He wanted to leave 
Even if leaving meant leaving the two he loved most
Before he left he gave both a rose to make everything okay
They both knew he was broken before 
But moving to this conclusion made it more hard
Gone for awhile 
Leaving life alone 
For those who knew 
Made him realize he loved two beautiful young people 
Not to inspire 
Not to move along
Too intoxicating 
Too loved
Too much to handle 
Grounded to be who he was before someone he’s not 
Broken wings mend as well for a broken heart 
Made to be 
Founded by dreams
Personalized dreams 
Pointed to all 
For we have falling so hard in love
Dreams became reality 
Holding the intoxicated man 
In the arms of two loving angels
To be or not to be
Love found away 
Not to make this fade
Nor to make three hearts break 
Why would you leave the ones you love behind?
