this is what boredom and rubbishness sounds like when mixed together with a pile of words.

 

 

 

times are hard

and those words were difficult

i could tell

the way your heart beat

i can tell

 

i looked

and i listened

but it was nothing

 

ordinary silences

accompany extraordinary music

and the noise

that sparkled

when you outshone us all

 

i wished for it all

but there was nothing

 

an existance

hinted by footprints

left in the sand

well we slipped away

hand in hand

 

i loved

and we lost

but it was nothing

compared to this.

It was all blurry then as the rain blurred my vision. The drops hit my eyes slowly, smudging my makeup. I pulled my hood over my head and tightened the string until I could barely see. But that didn’t matter. What mattered was getting home. The loud, booming sound of thunder exploded above me and I picked up my pace. I wanted to get home before it got too bad. A heard a crash of lightning and I looked up, I could see if over in the distance, above the forest. I shivered; the cold was nipping at my exposed skin.

 

I felt the material of my jacket cling to my skin as it was drenched with rain. It sent chills down my spine, and I was already cold. I started walking faster when I felt the rain fall quicker. The sounds of thunder and lightning crashed above me, and it made my ears hurt. The moon shone in the shape of a crescent, clouds floating nicely in front of it, making it brighter. It was my only light. The night was dark.

 

My converse were too small for my feet, and my jeans were too tight for my liking. I clung to my purse beside me for a little warmth. It didn’t help much. I started thinking absentmindedly as I turned to cross the road. I didn’t bother looking left or right, it was late, it was night, it was raining, no car would bother to drive. Half way across the road, I was pulled out of my thoughts by the sound of a beeping horn and two bright headlights. I didn’t have time to move. My feet were glued to the tarmac and I panicked. But before I could do anything, I heard the crash before I felt it. Everything was black.

 

tell me how bad this is please. :]

I hope this isn't horrible :\

please tell me what you think about it!

 

"First Love"

I sit and watch him,

He's engulfed inside deep thought.

His pencil quickly moves to and fro;

Hopefully he remembers what I haven't forgot.

 

We became much more than I expected,

I never thought that I'd fall head over heels.

He then tore my heart to a million pieces,

But somehow, he seemed to know the pain I would very quickly feel.

 

He claims I'm in his dreams,

He's a figure in mine to.

When I was with him I was always happy.

Oh yes, that's very much true.

 

I wish I could be her,

To be blessed by his love day by day.

He sometimes wonders if he made a mistake,

I wonder if he realizes that he still takes my breath away.

 

Now that we are close once more,

I feel like the clouds have moved from the sun.

"You will never forget your first love" forever rings in my head.

Days apart may turn to months; but to me, he will always be that one.

ok this is something I did really quickly just now.

It's kinda cheesy so try not to laugh....

 

Our hands brush while we walk and I’m feeling butterflies

I can’t help but smile when you look into my eyes.

I gaze at you and you're looking at me do you feel what I feel?

Those three magical words ‘I love you’ ring in my head

Will those words ever come out of your mouth?

 

XD

I can't take it with these feelings inside

It totally confuses me

I hate it but he is on my mind

And it's so sad he can't be here

Why do i always love the wrong person?

He doesn't know i am alive

Forgetting him,that's the solution

But i can't do it,he makes my fly

It's killing me inside,i'm freaking out

"I wanna go away!",that's what i shout

I still hide my feelings,i still hide my tears

I can't do anything,this heart slowly heals

This life is unfair,he's so far from here

I can't believe what i'm feeling is real

He's just too similar to me

I don't know who i am pretending to be

That's when i realize this must be a dream

When every second word i say is about him...

 

..i wrote it on tuesday at school haha

Turned Your Back

 

 

And so you’ve turned your back on us

Shut us out and deal with all your issues

Think you’re strong enough to help yourself

But you just don’t realise the truth yet…

 

You’re not strong enough

To carry your burdens

Let us share the load

But not since you turned your back…

 

Slammed the door behind you

Shook the house to its foundations

Your misery was so intense

It’s tendrils felt by all around you…

 

*chorus*

 

Cut your heart open

And let me inside

If only you’d stay and listen

But you’ve shown your back to us all

So wallow in your own creation…

 

*chorusx2*

 

Cut your heart open

Cut it open

And let me heal it for you…

Cut your heart open

Cut it open

And let me inside

Cut your heart open

Cut your heart open

And let me inside!

 

 

Dreamer

 

*This song, in my head, is sung by two vocalists, so the parts highlighted in bold are sung by the other vocalist*

 

Why don’t you dream yourself a dream?

Come and stay by my side won’t you?

We’ll dream ourselves a dream

Throw your caution to the wind…

 

I’ll enter your dream world

And keep you company throw the joy and sorrow

You shouldn’t have to enjoy it yourself

So I’ll take your hand and let you guide me through…

 

*chorus w/dual vocals*

Cause I’m a dreamer

So take my hand

And let’s take a journey

Cause I’m just a dreamer

So let’s dream a new world…

 

Woah…

Woah…

Dream yourself a dream

Dream ourselves a dream…

 

I’d like to sleep by your side

Keep me safe during our slumber

Let’s go far away from here

And find our own dream to live through…

 

*chorus*

 

I’ll be your dreamer…

Let me be your dreamer…

I’ll be your dreamer…

Let me be your dreamer…

 

*chorus*

 

*outro w/dual vocals*

I’ll always be your dreamer

So let me into you…

 

Breaking You Down

 

 

You’ve had it coming for so long

So why try to resist me?

I’m ready and steeled for battle

So let’s lock horns

Duke it out for the ultimate prize…

 

I’m in the process of breaking you down

I’m in the process of opening you up

I’m in the process of cracking you open

And consuming it all…

 

Don’t try to run and hide

Cause I’ll hunt you down

I am the relentless hunter

I’ll seek you out wherever you lie

To the end of the earth if’s necessary…

 

*chorus*

 

I’m breaking you down

Don’t resist me…

I’m breaking you open

Don’t resist me…

So what are you gonna do about it?

I’ll track you down and break you open

You can’t escape from me

So don’t even waste your strength…

 

*chorus to end*

I was just thinking this thread was looking a little lonely ! Props James, lovely stuff :)

"I'm in the process of breaking you down" made me shiver, for some reason.

 

 

 

i never meant to get involved

i should never drink on an empty heart

or a wishful soul

well regrets never got anyone anywhere

and apologies never hurt

but you hurt me anyway, i swear

you'll be sorry, so sorry

 

the last time i checked

was the last time i closed my eyes

and left

and i didn't ask for what i saw

and you never answered

so i kept silent, but deadly serious

you'll be sorry

 

i won't get over this

you built yourself up so high

i can't reach

and you're out of touch

you'll be sorry

you'll be sorry.

i have a poem in my yearbook that just came out...lemme find it and type it up

do it.

 

 

oh darling

won't you save the last laugh for me

i've watched and i've waited

and i'll welcome

any opportunity for retaliation

with such glorious destruction

i know you love

 

it wasn't the disaster i expected

but you destroyed me

 

don't look down

i'm climbing and i'm calling

and i'm committing

to what my future holds (without you)

i'm grasping the concept of being alone

i deserve everything

 

it wasn't the disaster i expected

but you destroyed me

and you did it well

 

don't explain yourself to me

i believe every word you never said

you never said a thing.

^ me either. and speaking of that...

 

new stuffs!

 

"Polyester Hearts"

 

In my mind

is concrete hyroglyphics

everything

is perminant

 

and I'm afraid

that I'll just be

another page in your diary

 

in my thoughts are pictures made

Not for words

you know that all of me

Is still yours

 

but I'm afraid

that I'll just be

another picture carved

into your memory

 

And here I am

In the middle

Dissagreeing with you

and here you are

on the edge of

going way to far

from "care"

 

and we're afraid

that there won't be

anything left called

"sharing and caring"

 

and I'm afraid

that I'll just be

another page in your diary

 

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++MORE++++++++++

 

 

"Speaking of Victoria: Part II" - (there is no part I)

 

[verse]

I live so monotonously

Afraid to break my daily routine

and Any new ways of speaking

Just bring down ways

of treating myself

To a nice moment

Alone

 

[chorus]

But you lkove to make me hid

eBut you know I can'e keep still

But for you

I'd try

For you I'd try

And Damaged describes me well

A broken record

I repeat myself

But I can try (for you)

I can try...

 

[verse]

This letter I write might be a rush to the head

I've re-worded myself so many times

I'm surprised it's something you haven't heard yet

But you arn't speaking to me

and I don't blame you because if you did

You'd see

 

[chorus]

 

[bridge]

 

to break me any further

Might result without a consequence

and I'd be taken by you

If only you knew

the Current circumstances

"Sorry I'm not talking today"

You say, with a grin

But I'm still not amazed

I'd fight for you

I'd lie for you

I hope you know that

I hope you do

 

[2nd Chorus]

I'd love to make you hide

But I know YOu can't keep still

But I hope you'll try (for me)

I hope you'll try (for me)

and Damages describes us well

broken records we repeat ourselves

but we can try

I can try...

I love to write but I don't know if i'm any good at it :P

Well, here it goes

 

Like a cool summerbreeze,

Like the sight of a rainbow,

As pure as a waterfall,

As innocent as a newborn babys smile,

My love for you can be explained in many ways,

Also in the simple way to say:

I love you

 

No one hears me when I cry, No one sees me where I stand

They say that they get, How weak I feel

But If they'd see me, when I feel it the most

Then they'd turn around, like if I was some kind of joke

Because there's no one who understands, that the only thing I wish

Is for them to know that I excist

 

The beautiful in your eyes, gives me strenght to stay

The wonderful sight, makes me smile for several days

But if you'd see me, see me as I am

And not as an ordinary friend, because it's with you that I am

I am more than anywhere else, I excist more around you

But my heart is still torn apart, when you leave me alone to cry

 

Please have some indulgence, since these poems are originally written in swedish, and I had to translate them. That's the reason to the bad rimes, they rime better in swedish :) I would love to get som constructiv critic from you guys :)

round of applause for all involved

that was the most spectacular heartbreak

i've ever seen

and well i couldn't have done it

without you

 

take a bow and take a seat

take away your attention from me

settle down, settle in,

i won't be here when you get home

 

gather round and buy yourselves a drink

and enjoy every last second you'll ever see

i could've helped out an stepped in

now step back

 

settle down, settle in

i won't be here when you get home

 

drink up, drink it down

your head'll hurt less without these memories

drink up, fall down,

fall down,

i won't be here when you get home.

have i posted this?

 

maybe, if i'm hurting,

and leaning in to anyone

you could save the day and,

press on, press on to win tonight

please don't get me wrong,

but i don't want you seeing me right now.

in our glory,

we're nothing more than hopeless

a dream without a cause

a cause for your concern

in our glory,

i feel like our hearts touch

yet, you're still nothing, now.

for sure, if i'm losing

and backing off to fear what's right

i heard someone shouting

press on, press on to win tonight

i think you've got me wrong

but it's the last time i'll be trusting you.

in our glory,

we're nothing more than hopeless

a dream without a cause

a cause for your concern

in our glory,

i feel like our hearts touch

yet, you're still nothing, now.

you said, nothing matters

and i thought, i'd lose control

you said, no one can fail

and i thought, i'd lost control

in our glory,

we're nothing more than hopeless

a dream without a cause

a cause for your concern

in our glory,

i feel like our hearts touch

yet, you're still nothing, now.

 

*****

 

somehow i remember your face in a field

or at least i remember the way i heeled

i thought we reached heaven

at quarter past eleven

you dropped your coffee cup

in time for me to make my mind up

 

woah, don't you dare to stop

i met my maker at the corner shop

he held my hand there

the way he touched my hair

the way he smiled as if to tell

someone they did good

 

i skipped a season just to see how it felt

holding my head above the world feeling senses melt

i threw my laughs back

to keep us on track

i know that nothing ever feels

the way abuse can

 

woah, don't you dare to stop

i met my maker at the corner shop

he held my hand there

the way he touched my hair

the way he smiled as if to tell

someone they did good

an angel telling you to go back for your change
