The Being In My Mind

I'm so compiled and lost 
In the land where on one 
Exist but a little shadow 
Of how beauty filled with 
darkness can easily change 
Ones state of mind 

I'm so compassionate about the 
Undiscovered picture which is fascinating 
In my mind but funny how an imagination 
Can never change to reality 
Yet the deep love I have for you 
Has grown into a wound full of 
What may never happen 

Hey can I imagine you again 
I know my mind is dark and 
You not used to that but 
I need you to stay so I can 
Breath what is so called a 
Sweet melody 

I caught my composure escaping 
My mouth saying what I shouldn't 
Nerves control yourself 
Gus bumps calm down 
Eyes stop staring 
Mind stop thinking and concentrate 
Legs please don't go 
I'm so interested 

A shadow of how Dark my 
Misery is but how low I think of 
Myself that my mind has left 
My body which is very demonic 
That my eyes turn to white 
Nevertheless when an image of you
Appears it's more like the world 
Has just joined my life and I 
Can fully breath again 

Sorry for saying it out loud 
But the anti you created in my mind
Is just overwhelming to a point 
Where I can actually cry with
Just the thought of you leaving 

I'm sorry but I'm interested in
Exploring your whole being but 
Just the personality which deals 
With the mind and heart....

Death Be Proud

Death be proud 

Look at a the pain you a have 
Caused 
Look at all the brusis you have left 
For now I am nothing but a 
Changed girl 

Death be proud
For you have taken that one 
And only soul in me and now 
Am nothing than a being breathing 
The cold air you left 

Death be proud for the old me has 
Left the ashy buildings of life 
And entered the windy streets 
Of the world and left love behind 

As much as I would love to 
Stop time just for me to breath 
And find the lost me but I just don't have the black magic to do that 

Am now searching for those words 
Those words which can heal my 
Pain, touch my sorrows and most 
Of all bring back the true me 

Death be proud for they can't feel  
My Pain
Death be proud for you have fulfilled 
Your purpose in this world

What He Did

He made me understand 
In various ways 
He took me places by 
A moving pen 
I cried my heart out 
Like a bleeding wound 
I felt the pain in those rainy days 
He said those words unexpectedly 
He took my hand 
And made me cry 
I forgave him but the pain still lived 
I shared the joys of the day 
And the pains of the morning alone
But I still survived
Now tell me "do you love me"

Thats All She Craves

Everything so pure 
So rough look deep in those 
Eyes and see no gain 
Look within those hands and see no lines 

My fears so shattered in this mist 
My heart so cold as ice
In this love triangle am in

As I lay down in this cold floor
Wonders wonder around this
Meaningless body 

The tension around this welcoming 
House so tender so thick but
But as dark a mouses hall 

Deep deep I dig in this floor 
As l look up and smile..... look 
At me the flowers Bloom as l 
Dream but die as I get lost 
In this meaningful ceiling 

Get lost she shouts 
Go away as she screams...... 
Tears tears the only hope I see.....
Hope that was once lost 
But never to be found 

Laugh all you want 
Cry all you want but smile while 
You still can......  
Noise as deep as the sea
Peace as quite a river flow...... 
That's all she craves

Pathetic

PATHETIC IS THE WORD
desparet is the feeling 
hurt is the outcome
regret is the thought

have you ever woken up needing affection
the love of a human soul
the bliss full touch of the tormented fingerprints 
needing the warm breath of the calming lover
the warm skin on skin body blanket 
the smile of pure appreciation of your presence

overall thats what i needed to feel whole again
i messed up and never felt the remose
tip toe regret came creeping in
after a season of laughter and no emotion
tip toe pain came knocking when
the attention left my body and into a different world
tip toe lonliness was just the everyday feeling 
of an pathetic heart.

i closed my eyes and rang him once
rang him twice 
and "hello" he said  
realising how much i missed that voice
i tend to speak my problem 
and the coldness of a human who has moved on 
simply tells me that im wasting my time and 
i cant get him back 

pathetic is how i feel.

Truth Be Told

Truth be told 

A punching bag I was 
Entertainment I turned out to be 
Fear crossed over
As tears dropped 

Just a being she exposed her self 
She said you heard 
You said she listened 
Far away she drifted 

Stay she cried 
Begged she tried 
Laughed you did 
Screamed she did 
Blind eye you turned 

Now you gone 
Now she lives 
Now she is broken 
Now she is hurt 

Her heart can not move on 
Her mind can not operate 
Her eyes are wet 
Her noise are blocked 
Her voice is gone 

Truth be told she suffered 
For a loveless you

I Guess I Love You

I guess I love you 

I guess I love you 
The love I have for you I far 
From perfect 
The love I have for you Is more 
Than words to elaborate 
The love I have for you 
Is deeper than the deepest seas 

I really love you 
U call my name in a unique and 
Tough love which give me gus bumps 
You touch my skin in a sense that
Kills a man's heart 

Now l'm deep or I can say am dead 
In love, you have traumatized me 
With your unexplainable body 
You have saved me with your tender 
Kiss,for now I am more alive than 
Ever before 

You ignore me like I don't exist 
You erased my face like I never existed 
You forgot my name like it was 
Never there 
You deleted my existence in your
Little world of love 

You kill the only thing that keeps 
Me alive, you have have destroyed the heart That feels everything but you 
After all I still care, I still feel, 
I still cry and most of all I still love yet you don't love me

Dear World of Life

dear world of life

am dead by life 
am alive by pain
am killed by words 
and loved by torture
l die in sorrow 
l live by pain
l cry through love
l aspire to be killed 
l inspire hurt
she is broken 
she is taken 
she is dead
she is fading 
she is gone 
take her away
kill her if you have too
torture her if you want
stab her with all you have 
don't love her 
her heart is bleeding 
her heart is a cracked wall
her eyes are full of wonders 
look deep and die 
for pain lives in her
save her but kill her
kill her and save the rotation 
of the world 

let me die

She Did It

okay look at me and tell me your
flaws and i will testify guilty 
let me follow your veins till i feel 
that lump upon my throat 
let me fill the bottle with my tears
only because i saw your scars in the 
light of night 

i loved you with a neverland story to tell
i felt you with a romantic movie that that 
always filled the sky's with the blues
i saw your smile right before my nose could
actually grab ahold of that relaxing texture

when the blues turned the darker shade i never 
saw you live , i kept the breeze to the control of
my heart beat because all i could feel was 
the rainy season spread wild so i could just 
lose control and just hide

i went to the bathroom and started filling
the shade of water all across the floor but 
but i guess you will never understand 
now tell me how am i supposed to feel
when what i trusted did exactly what i 
thought was the left direction to head 

im not sorry that you are hurting but
im definitely sorry that you are just being you

Movers of the Night

Movers of the night 
Spear me for my tears has 
Just arrived 
Cold winds of the night 
Take care of me 
And embrace my mind 
to refresh more

Hot waters, touch my skin 
In places no one knows 
Dark light, please light up the room
But don't shine so bright 
For my tears would be seen 

Spirits of the night 
Don't stare at me, I'm as terrified 
As you are but harmless 
As a single tear 
As much as you would love 
To live nothing can bring you 
Back 
Tell me what you want 
But kill what hates 

Silent floor, don't move 
Don't say a word, just keep calm 
The morning hour will soon be here 
Be as silent as the heart but cry
Like my tears 

Tress be still
Nothing can disturb your sleep now 
Try and find peace, nothing can 
Scare you in this horrific night 
Trees find refuge in the Lord 
And leave find refuge in the tree 
And I shall find refuge in these tears 

Words keep flowing, I am listening 
Tears keep falling, I can't help it 
Winds keep breezing, I am cold
Floor be still, I won't wait 
And heart be calm, I won't hurt you 
No more
