Tonight

Tonight I leave
You can come with me if you want
I'd love it.
We could be navigators on a private sea
Or maybe pioneers on an endless plain
I want to see the grass in moonlight
To know it's only us
The sound of our voices and the river alone
A symphony heard only by those
Who dare to listen.
But will you follow?
Will you come with me?
It seems I should know,
But I don't. I know that
I'm gone. I don't know
Who with.

Sap

How did you do it?
How the hell did you get so far under my skin.
It's like...
Without you, I don't know me
And it's terrifying.
I don't like being dependent
But if I don't hear from you,
I don't sleep.
It may be a sickness
But I think the cure would kill me
And as much as it pains me
I like it here.
I lose self, to give to you
So you can hand it back to me
As a gift.
As love
and patience
and loyalty
And everything I need to be
So I'll thank you for this weakness
And hope, That you're as weak as me

Rooftops

This was my place once
A place to sit a little taller
And feel the sun a little warmer
Just a place to lie still and dream,

But you decided Vanity
And took the highest place
A place for you to claim the sun
And talk of pointless things

But now you've left,
For attention yet unknown
So I reclaim my place
And whilst the ink, it stains the page
I'll watch the setting sun

Hey

I think I've figured it out
What really gets me
It's not the refusal
It's the reason.
If you are going to say something,
Then say it
Don't dance around the issue
Don't give me reasons to pacify a four year old
You made me
And i am smarter than that
Give me the why
I'll give you respect
But stop with this game
Just admit that you're lazy
Or scared
or...
Something.
Just Tell Me The Truth
And set me free.

Barbie*

For someone so beautiful
You'd think there'd be more
Some glimer of concience
Morality maybe?
Who the hell do you think you are
Make a mockery of me
Do you ever think
That things are said in silence
To KEEP them silent
I can't believe it
Why!
What makes you think you are above it all
Well newsflash chica
You taught me to stand
Now you can step down

Get It?*

If you've got a moment
I'd like to speak
Discuss
What's happened here
The truth
What is the truth?
It's gone behind masks
And smiling words
Masquerade
Facade
They're all the same
So shut up
I don't want to call you a liar
But if I don't
I fear I
Would equal
You

The End*

Enough of words!
They are wasted on the infantile
Each sentance need not be a dance
State your point and move on
Don't ask me what i mean
I only speak
Interpret these sounds however you'd like
But don't involve me
I'm done with your name
And i'm done with you

Titles Are Insignifigant Words And So This Shall Remain Unnamed*


And if in the end
We forget it all
All of that which plauges us now
Will we still be whole?
Know who we were before
Remember who we could be
In a second from here
Now will not be nor matter
Time is already lost
And with its absence
I fear for our memories
We can stand through screams
But in silence
I worry

Emos Lived*

Faith and tears
Blood and fears
Show me the shadows
I'll walk in the light
There is nothing to gain
So give me the rose
I need the thorns
To let me know I am here

Shouting*

Don’t wait for me
I’m still running
Don’t cry for me
There’s nothing wrong
Don’t pity me
I’m still fighting
Don’t fear me
I still don’t see
Who I am
A single blank for a million dreams
To love, I can’t be you
My friend and rival
Tell me
I want to know everything
Why you walk
Why you think
Why I need to know
TELL ME
If you must ignore me then face me
While you tell me nothing
Hate me if you will
Just tell it to me straight
And if it kills me
Don’t wait for me

A note

I'm going to post some of my old poetry on here. If there is a * in the title. It is older.

We All Fall Down

"Come here, I have something to say"
To spite you? Maybe.
I'd doubt it though.
A memory of trust,
a tryst
It's probably just attention
I want to know how you'd react
Would you hit me?
Hate Me?
Or something more?
Have I fallen below where you can find me?
Or are you at this depth as well?
Ah me.
Such silly musing.
I won't tell you.
It's better to keep my silence.
Because I know you wonder.
I know because I know I would.
If I were you of course.

Headaches

It's a freedom really
Not a Secret.
So why is it i can't tell you?
Hell if i know.
The same restraint that stopped me.
well, almost
Is the reason I won't say.
Not quite defiance.
I don't owe you allegiance anymore.

An Unatural Occurence

This is my Epic
Devoid of Greatness
And magic feats
I wish it would rhyme
Maybe make a little sense
But then it wouldn't belong to me
This is my story.
And I will say nothing if I want to
Use the Blank Space to speak of everything these eyes have seen
.
.
.
Consider this my story told

Previoulsy*

Little Soldier:

Little Soldier
You are beautiful
Fashioned of shadow, light and desire

Condemned

Brimstone Butterflies
Catch and hold
I belong Here

Killed again
I would like to weep too

Little Soldier
So Still

I believe we are lost


Explanation: Each phrase from this poem is a quote from the book, A Separate Peace.

Esta Anciano*

Dance away,
Dance away my world
I'll stay still and dream
It's what I do best
I become what the world wants,
For the lost;
I am a map
For the forgotten;
I must remember
For the damned;
I will burn.
I forged these bonds
Closed them with free will
I am kept
But still I breathe
Sing to keep my calm beneath your screams
These locks are mine
And you are not my key
I will now bow because you reach above me
When you look me in the eye
We will begin

Forest Fire

Hello again
And welcome back.
You have been missed.
Unity
Again.
There's the Rush;
The power trip that lifts me up
Till i'm flying over fallen things
This.
Sky.
Is.
Mine.
And when I land,
There you are.
Submission meet Aggression.
You have been overthrown.
