The Song/Poem/Writing Thread - Part 2

Recommended Posts

This is something that's been in my head for a while today, its unfinished so far.

 

We're doing all we can

But things aren't as simple as they seem

Running from the truth won't scare me anymore

And neither should it be from you

I wish that mistake's outcome was as easy as how it began

But its not, and I don't know who to blame

And I can only hope for the best

 

[Here the chorus should start, but I have nothing yet]

I was playing some chords ( F, D, C, G ) on the guitar from a NIN song and i came up with this.

 

The games on us

We used to be the ones with all the heart

We had curses over us

From the very start

and the blames on us

Because we've failed them once again

We may have left

But we never stopped before the bitter end

Of our life

We move on in the dark

Dwelling in dreams it seems

We've all lost our heart

 

 

 

 

 

 

Finish that song Earnie Ball.

 

 

 

 

 

Oh and Guro, You're spectacular.

so i've had writers block for about 6 months now..but i wrote this a few minutes ago. It's the second poem i've written since i've started to come out of this writer's block phase.

I hate writers block! :-x

 

 

Time is passing, each moment a blur

Things that were, are now just a lie

So hard to find the trust again

I feel hope again, yet I'm guarding my heart

I can't take another disappointment, another letdown

no, really.

 

 

keep your mind wide open

i think i need you to think straight

i need you to walk straight down

and turn off the lights

for god's sake, open your eyes

i never followed you for fame

but for the fun

 

the chain links snapped off

they were just that desperate

and i'm just that desperate to win

don't just stand there, fight

believe me, i tried

because we are everyone

and you are everything

 

throw your coins to the floor

it's only change that i'm after

you'll change with disaster

and i'll laugh

this was always how it'd start

you would leave and i would lie

i never meant goodbye

 

now please don't remind me

i left you behind.

yesyesyesYESYES.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We Lost, But We'll Have Later To Win

 

 

 

Streams of dreams

And thoughts persuade me to be

Not myself but someone they need

And my senses fail under tensions

They strain me to be

And so be it I'll bleed

 

Not that it matters

I'm not selfish

So then walk away

Decide for you,

And for them

And then day dream or else stay

 

Winners don't share their turn

But the losers they learn

 

And we've asked

But the lights only listened

We had a faith

But that was before

^High five, chris, that was fully rad.

 

 

 

i need to stop writing about the same person,

 

i'm not feeling okay today, the splits in my knuckles sayin'

i've had enough today

i left you by the roadside by the light, so you could find

your way home

please don't be terrified

 

please don't make me cry

you've been taking control and we've been growing old

whilst they watch, whilst they cage us up and trap

our hearts

i can find my way out

please don't fall apart

 

please don't make this worse

i wasn't prepared for anything, no, anything like you

we can't make this work, we can't, so i'll

walk away and you'll pick a fight

please don't stay long, i

won't be long.

I'm currently in the throws of awful writer's block. I've not completed a piece that I feel decently about for quite some time. I've got these idears and I've got little chunks for songs, but I cannot seem to string them together properly; or I've got a guitar part and no lyrics to put them to.

 

Shame on you, writer's block. I shall have your neck one day.

i hate writer's block, fully and completely.

 

 

i've lied my way all through today

whilst you lie awake

and you have taken everything

you took the breath right out of my lungs

and you left me dizzy.

i laughed about our fortune and our fate

and every single word you said;

as you scratched the nicotine off your fingers

and traced the wine stains on my teeth

you lost me.

 

i promised the end of everything

when we ended up here

and i have finished every sentence since

you stole them right off my tongue

and you left me speechless.

i fought through the lions and the liars

to stand at your side on fire;

when you pray for your life on your knees

and the dirt buries all of your beliefs

you lost me.

The idea of forgiveness was

Far far beyond all of my stares

Still I've not learned one god damn thing

About you

So who cares

 

Even though I tell myself, That I'm after all of this

Would it ever concern you with things that I said

I'm stuck before it all, Before I loved what was to miss

Yet there's still a question left standing in front of you

With your mind made up with the many ahead

All your faces only answered a few

 

 

 

 

More of a rant really, Didn't even name it.

Chapter one of my story. I hope you like it.

 

I sighed, laying across my bed. My eyes were shut, I was trying to forget what my mom said today about moving across the country to a small town in Nebraska. I covered the pillow with my face, and screamed. Moving was the last thing I wanted to do. My life was here, I just wish my mother saw that. I removed the pillow from my face, and sat up. The empty, unfolded boxes laid up against my door caught my attention. I rolled my eyes, and got my cell phone out of my pocket, and dialed my best friend Brea’s number. It went straight to voice mail. I would catch her in the morning. I lazily got up, and got the first box.

“Luna, sweetheart.” I heard my mother say about an hour or so later.

I had managed to come up with an idea, if I didn’t pack, I wouldn’t have to move to Nebraska.

‘I’m sorry, I don’t speak to people who ruin lives.” I was again laying on my bed, Staring at the ceiling. Making shapes out of the dots.

“Luna, I wouldn’t have done this, if I didn’t believe it was right for you Sophie, and Landon.” My mother said.

We looked somewhat alike. Both had dark red hair, hers was curly, and mine was straight. She was tall, I was taller. Six- Foot exactly. We both were unusually pale, and had deep green- brown eyes. The rest of me was like my dad.

“I am not going anywhere. I am staying with Brea.” I said, and turned so I was facing the window. The dark night gave me shivers.

“You’d have to pack to go there too you know.” She chuckled. At least she thought she was funny.

I turned back around. “You know mom, I want to say something to you, but I am not.” I said.

Then she came and sat by me. “I know your upset. Your not the only one who has to make adjustments. What about Sophie, and Landon? Do you think its going to be easy for them?” Mom said. “They have lived here all of their lives too. It’s not all about you Luna.”

I creased my eyebrow, and looked at my mom. “It is not. Go away. I’d like to sulk alone.”

My mom got off my bed, and walked to the door. Then she turned around and said, “You know, If you don’t pack your room, I will.” She walked away.

“’If you don’t pack your room, I will.’” I mimicked, and threw a pillow at my door.

“Ha-ha Luna’s mad, ha-ha Luna’s mad.” Sophie came into my room. Unlike me she had dark brown curls. She stuck out her tongue.

“Get OUT Sophie.” I shouted. “Leave me alone.” I got up, and ran for the door.

Sophie ran off before I could get there. I sighed and slammed my door. After I sat down, and started sulking, my dad came in.

“Luna, love.” He said in his British accent. “What is the matter?” He came over to my bed.

“I don’t want to move. I- I want to stay here. I don’t want to be anywhere else.” My voice trembled. “I have a life here, I have friends.”

“You know. I moved.” My dad said in his gentle voice.

“I know. How would you explain the British accent?” I said.

“When I moved I left my life behind, and you know something, I found new friends, and girlfriend who eventually became my wife.” He said. “Moving was a new beginning. Sure it wouldn’t replace my old life, but I was optimistic, and I made the best of it I could.” He said. “There are people I miss, like my mum and dad, but I can still visit them. What’s going to happen when you go off to University? You’re going to make a new start then too.”

“Brea and I were planning on going to the same College.” I said to him.

“When you move, you can still do that you know.” He said to me.

“I don’t want to hear this right now dad.” I turned to my side, facing the window.

“All I am saying is to be optimistic Luna.” I heard footsteps leaving my room. I looked to see if dad was gone, and turned back around. After a small sob, I fell asleep.

I awoke to the loud buzzing of my alarm clock. I groaned and got up. After a nice warm shower, I got dressed in my usual attire, a fluffy skirt, a shirt with a crazy pattern, and a pair of old, battered Converse Chuck Taylor’s. My dad drove me to school as usual. I was still mad from the conversation last night, so I said nothing in the car.

“Have a good day Luna.” My dad said.

Yeah, It’s going to be a blast saying goodbye. I rolled my eyes and walked into the school to find my life-long friend.

My heart is shattered, my face hot, sticky,

tears trickle down it, as I stare down at my feet.

The pieces glisten as the light cascades down on them,

now it's too broken beyond repair.

 

The day you got sick it started to crack,

every time you got worse, it would fissure and and split.

I remember what it used to be like before, before you got sick, gave up,

before you lost all hope in yourself and all those around you.

How I'd wish for you to stop and realize, but you never did!

 

And where are you now?

 

You've left me all alone, you said I was the strongest, the fighter,

the one who had to be there for everyone else. But what about me?

 

Who is here for me?

 

You didn't think about that?

i don't need your aggression and i don't need you

the space underneath the stairs

hid you the way you wanted

right inside, against the corner

there are no surprises here

but shield your eyes

 

the water came right in and

we're going down the way you wanted

i hope you know who i am;

you sophisticate me and then break me

you anticipate me; i am authentic

i am awake

 

and i hope you're losing

(i hope you're losing)

but go if you have to

and i hope you lose your way

 

well why should i care at all

about the way you say my name

it all sounds the same when

you scream like that

close your ears, shield your eyes

i don't care but i'm still yours

shield your pulse, close the doors

i'm still yours.

Malice Eyes

 

I thought I was safe from your knowledge

But it seems even you know I am here

There is no question that

Lives without an answer

In you,

I'll never see you in fear

 

You belong to an honor

A blood, A pawner

You're destined to fade away

 

You belong to a hate

A love and a fate

You're just meant to fade away

 

My humor tried to talk with you

But you stared and stilled your stance

I caught you off guard a few lucky times

If you believe, In that sort of thing

 

Just when I thought I hurt you

A lie,

Protected you from the harms of truth

I couldn't see past your eyes

Because I saw them before

And I fell because I couldn't win anymore

wow, it's been a loong time since i was on here.. but.. i thought i'd post a little something.. so, here it is:

 

and i guess this is the reason i only write songs

of misguidance and oceans of tears anymore

i've lost the faith i never thought i had

and creating illusions of bliss is not as perfect as it seems

cause i always seem to forget that i miss the heart i need

 

wish the image of perfection would colour itself complete

so every minute of every day wouldn't be a genuin struggle

fighting against inner demons to win a battle

that somewhere in this world has already been lost

but hey, a girl can dream

 

so when everything falls down around me

when the sun is gone and the thunder is breaking the sky

this girl is living in a world of plastic smiles

instead of showing her wish to die

don't ever say that you understand

suffocating

heart badly aching

where did you go?

feeling the raindrops

hearing the thunder

i stopped breathing

 

this is not my world

the angles are wrong

everything’s upside down

i’ve become a ghost

 

the day you left me

i died

the stars are still counting

the tears i cried

but this can’t be the end

i will stand up and make my heart mend

and i will learn how to breathe

once again

 

feeling my chest aching

is it really this hard to keep breathing?

the waves of pain pushing me to the ground

i’ve just lost something that i should have never found

 

you, yeah, YOU were my whole world

the thought of losing you seemed so fucking absurd

i never thought our love could fall apart

i never thought that you would break my heart

 

the day you left me

i died

the stars are still counting

the tears i cried

but this can’t be the end

i will stand up and make my heart mend

and i will learn how to breathe

once again

 

once again,

trying to find hope again

erasing you from my memory

ignoring this deep, deep hole inside of me

i guess you and i both know that

 

the day you left me

i died inside

but now the stars are counting

the tears that dried

i knew it couldn’t be the end

i stood up and made my heart mend

and i finally learned how to breathe

once again

 

 

whatever, i'm just glad i finally wrote something

Morphine and Nicotine you set me free

Dad do I disappoint you?

Round the back allies that's where I call home,

I'm not coming back tonight.

Don't tell me that I can't 'cause I'll prove you wrong,

Fuck you and believe in me.

I know I'm not perfect but I'm trying to be better.

Believe in me.

 

I know, that we will never be together.

But I will try, to reach your heights.

They say, that we will always be together.

But I'm just trying, for one more night.

 

You're dead inside I can see I've hurt you deep,

Time won't heal your scars.

Your favourite weapon cries out at me,

And goes tick, tock, in the dark.

I wish I could tell you so many clichés

If it, would help, my cause.

But I'm out there, I'm far gone, I'm sleeping alone.

This bed, feels, so empty.

 

I know, that I've lost you forever.

And I, will try, to stay away.

One night, was never enough for me.

There's clues, in the ditch, where I lay.

 

Never got to see the world

Or kiss you our last goodbye

It was sudden, I hoped that I'd evolved

I'm grief stricken and I've lost my hold

I'll go and get, my rope.

 

I knew, that we'd never be together.

And I'm not coming back, to life.
