The contrast of the icy cold blade

As it kisses my skin

Sends a slight tingle

Through my spine

Knowing that you broke my heart,

I slide my fingers backwards

A slit of my red blood seeps

From my arm

I was stupid enough to believe

That you generally loved me

I was head over heals

Looking back,

I only know that I was an idiot

And that only you were to blame

My heart was in pieces

Yet you were a million miles away

Laughing at my mistakes

I cared too much

I shouldn't have

I knew it would eventually end in tears

My prediction was right

I trusted you with my life

You took that trust and used it

Ruining me

The good time we had; they were all fake

And even though you ripped me apart

And tore my heart open and crushed it

There are still times

That I feel

I

LOVE

YOU

but you had your second chance

I might be a mess right now

And I know that you will never care

But please, lock the door behing you

Just go home

I'm sorry, hunny, but I gotta move on with my own life

 

The scars remind us that the past is real

And now for something completely different !

I don't do prose.

But english coursework requires that i must haul myself out of the little poetry-hole i've sunk myself into, and write something on a theme- "A Room".

What an enthralling theme.

But i did it, and i kind of like it, shockingly. Opinions ? good or bad :)

I do warn you, it's kind of long:

---

 

I remember this place.

 

I remember the old toys we loved and the dolls we defaced; the tea sets we filled with dreams and innocence; the plastic food that fed our imaginations for hours on end.

I remember the board games we argued over (I never cared much for rules) and the computer games we saved every penny for, yet never held our attention for long.

I remember that duvet, with its tales of caverns and hopeless expeditions and expectations that took us so far away without taking one step.

I remember the mattress that creaked reassuringly beneath us after watching one too many horror films; the comforter that did its job so well whilst pouring our tears and our secrets out so desperately to each other.

I even remember that old bookcase, and how you changed all the covers around just to see what I would say; the sound of your laughter when I didn’t notice- I thought Goldilocks was Little Red Riding Hood for years. I remember the torn stories of princes and knights we swore we’d never need as long as we had each other.

 

I remember it all and they remember me; I can feel those memories crouching and cringing away in the corner. They can’t bear this anymore than I can; the responsibility crushing down on their delicate figures. They brought us so close we had to be torn apart- there was no other way.

 

I remember sneaking out for the first time - together, of course – with lies and guilt weighing heavily on our shoulders, each waiting for the opportunity or excuse to be the first to back out; but neither did. The beginning of the routine we sunk so easily into, equipped with well rehearsed lines we told to explain unexplained absences to anyone that tried to stop us.

I counted each tear I cried the night you ran away; I would have done anything for your return. I hated you for leaving me behind.

 

I remember the exact moment (or person) when jealousy began to exceed trust; the promises we made with every intention of keeping them, but never could. I remember every one.

 

Oh, I remember.

 

I remember the precise shade of his eyes; green enough to clash with my emotions when we were first introduced; the toothpaste stain on his collar; the rip in his jeans and the way he held you so delicately, as if you might break.

I tried to forget the spring in your step as you returned from each date; the look on your face as you told me each detail. I could swear that look was laced with pity.

I remember the brightness of your smile that never faded for six long months, not even for a second.

I remember the second it broke.

 

I wish I could forget the look in your eyes as you walked in and saw it all; the sound of your coffee cup hitting the tiles, so loud I imagined it was the sound of your heart breaking.

I wish I could forget the sense of victory I so craved slipping away from me as you ran out of the door and away from him; away from me.

 

I remember the mask of hated and anger you wore as you tore up those toys and set fire to the games. I remember you walking away as you had once before and the ashes that flew right towards me as I watched; burning memories taunting me for destroying them long before. I remember the very last time I saw you; as you turned and looked at me for a while, with your cold stare and dry eyes, I could almost imagine a flicker of forgiveness, perhaps regret.

But I know now, as you flipped me the finger and calmly walked away, it was just a trick of the light.

 

I haven’t seen you since, but I miss every second. I’m back where it all began.

Oh, I remember this place.

^That's really, really good. :)

 

I have another song here...twas inspired by me listening to a lot of Metallica and Coheed and Cambria over the last few days...some parts I've put in, are just how I imagine the song to sound in my head while I was writing it.

 

Don't Let Me Fade Away

 

*intro solo, followed by heavy riff*

 

*switch to clean sound for verses*

 

Time ticks down for everyone

None of us are spared

From that eternal curse

Even though I pray for mercy

Pray to our God for mercy...

 

*distortion on*

Don't let me fade away

Don't let me fade away

Hold onto my memory

Don't let me fade away

Don't let me fade away

Don't let me go...

 

I don't want to gather dust

Or become a forgotten memory

Don't keep me locked up in your mind

Hold onto me for as long as you can

I don't want to face this fate...

 

*chorus x2*

 

Don't make me beg on my knees

All I want is to remain here

Where I belong in this place

By your side, or in your arms

So don't let me fade away!

 

*crazy solo here*

 

Don't let me fade away!

Don't let me fade away!

Don't let me fade....

This song I decided to write right away when I learned that commercial sucess songs are simple and just...straight forward, so I skipped the "beautiful" facot in lyrics and made this song in about, 5 minutes tops.

 

 

Shining Moon

 

 

When the moon shines, I can sleep

When its cold and bright, I dont weep

I try to fight for hapinesses

I cant seem to keep

 

Look outside now

And Find me there

Look outside and find me

in your stare

 

I sleep in the moonlight

Not thinking about all the pain

Im not happy until one more day

I see the moon once again

 

Because I've suffered too much

and I've lost control

But I dont know if i hold my mind

yes that I dont know

because I feel crazy

i need the moon to save me

I need more than what you've

gave me

 

Look outside Now

And Find me there

Look outside and find me

In your stare

And watch me no longer care

Because I've forgotten

This Nightmare

 

 

And its actually personal too!

Reuinion

 

You were always there for me

And then they took you away

Now I just want to end this here

So pass me the razor blade

And bid me goodbye for now...

 

But I won't break the skin

I remember what you taught me

So I will endure this plane

If only to see you again...

 

I poured my heart out to you

Bled it dry at your feet

And now you're gone

I am saturated once more

With the misery of humankind...

 

*chorus*

 

I know now that there is still hope

Hope for our souls on this earth

I will cling on to damnation

Until our final Reuinion below the stars...

 

*chorus x2*

 

Please remember our promise

Don't forget to uphold your bargain

And let's enjoy our Reuinion for eternity...

^^ hahaha, that's proper mint :D

 

short, simple, not very interesting, but i'm bored:

 

oh let's continue by any means

making promises we'll never keep

when the only sparks that fly tonight

are the cigarette butts in the street

and the disapointment under our feet

is becoming far too much to handle.

 

so let's try this one more time

touch my face and look into my eyes

it's a shame there's nothing left for you

no regret or stray tears i've cried

just the knwledge that we tried

(and failed) but oh, we tried.

I might even just post the tab for it later...

 

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

[verse]

You're just another violent urge coming through

No one better to look forward to

When I try to look back

I know there's none of you left

(when i try to look back.... when i try to look back)

 

[pre-chorus]

But I know that this aint gettin anywhere

Still it's worth a try...

 

[chorus]

When I look around for

Excuses to get away next time

You might just throw around

Some new reason for me to stay behind

And when you look around for

All of your words that made me cry

Just pull away

Just pull away

 

[verse]

And every time you want to walk away

I know there aren't enough words - to say

"I love you" sounds so empty

(so bitter sweet - so bitter sweet)

"I love you" feels too empty

...(to me)

 

[pre-chorus]

[chorus]

[break/bridge]

[chorus]

No one thought I'd ever make it

Well it seems that I have done

Everything no one believed in

Even when I Had No one

 

I Guess I never Needed you

or anyone else no more

because I've found my ways now

I never knew what you were for

 

I've seemed to surpass my own dreams

goals and finish lines That I've set up

I've done these to only annoy you

because I was so fed up

of all your lies and cries

For someone else in me

I've been someone else all along

And you can never see

 

That I'm Happier without you

right here by my side

Now that I dont have your rules

to follow and abide

Im going to pass all of you

and show you what I am beneath

And I'll pass the obstacles

and everything else I'll meet

I feel comfortable right now

So why should you ruin it

Im going to build my own life

And not have you in it

 

 

mediocre at best, I think that "abide" part is not even how you use that word. hmp.

that's amazing christopher. i love poems like that. like "i'm done with you" sort of meanings.

 

okay i've only posted one of my poems here and people liked it but were amazed at how depressing they were. i thought i'd try again because these aren't completely.....depressing. i'm posting 2 because one's really short:

 

Caught

Maybe you haven't heard,

so here's the news flash:

You're not the boss

of every person,

every thing.

You're just a lie,

a myth.

I'm done believing it.

So why are you still here?

 

 

 

Blame the Limelight [yes that title was influenced by Fences]

Here and willing.

Waiting and wondering.

When will the crowd wake up?

 

Stuck in the spotlight

for all the wrong reasons.

I'm only a hit

when I make a mistake.

 

Once tried,

forever forgotten.

Not worth another chance.

 

Now everyone's warned.

Stay away and don't look back.

Haven't you heard?

I'm just a waste.

 

 

well that one maybe is a bit....down. sorry it's just how i write

Your eyes, each a laser in its own way

Whenever they meet mine, they shine right through

Piercing my heart when you glare ev'ryday

Letting the blood spew from ev'rything you do.

Its sunny, but only rain is above me

Clouds of grey, spilling water on my soul

Slipping on ice and crashing misery

Whispering words to let me know I failed.

I would sacrifice this world to hold you

Let me breathe your scent for one last time

The memories have come to pull me apart

My sorrow cannot compare to a rhyme.

Theres no way to discover my mistakes

When ev'ry second I spent with you was fake.

 

We had to wirte a sonnet for my English homework. I quite like this, so I thought I'd share. :D

you're all extremebean! which is an inside joke, but it means good things... I bet you all break strings too... lopl and you all wish you knew what that meant... welll heres a little somethin I wrote for a friend... she has been having extremely bad depression issues and stuffs, sooooo... yeah.. here

okay.. it wasnt a friend.. it was my girlfriend.. but still... arg? Dang the pirate thing didnt hold you back from reading thins... oops?

 

Everytime I look around

I seem to find something new in you

And everytime you look at me

My heart begins to beat

And it never really did before

 

You bring me back to

Life again

And show me who

I really am

And you know that I would keep you forever

Because you're the only thing keeping me together

 

I know you've been saying

You "Wont amount to anything"

but you know it isn't true

You are so perfect to me over there

And close up, you're even better

 

If I could come back

To life again

I'd beg you just to love

What you DO have left

I wish you knew

Your tears are wetting my face too

I hope you know

I love you

 

You've inspired me

To do so many things

It's something new

But Something I'll get used to

Though I may be new to this

You make me feel so at home...

(feel so at home)

 

I wish I could just

Make you smile

When I see your eyes so cold

And Full of pain

I know that I'm not much

But I do what I can

I could stop and say "Im Sorry"

But I'm stuck here staring at you...

 

++++++++++++++++++++++

and I hope that didnt suck ass like I thought it did...
