Left here, forgotten
By myself, on my own,
I am lost in the silence,
Of my wounded soul...

I don't know...
How this came to be,
I am alone on the darkness!
It is my reality!

The beating of my heart,
Is the only sound
You can't leave me here alone,
Because, I know I will drown
I'm fading...
Becoming...
Less than me...

Lying, in a room
With four stark walls
And I would hit the floor,
But there is nowhere for me to fall

One door, it taunts me,
I know there is no escape
Surrender, the only option,
The one I refuse to take!

The beating of my heart,
Is the only sound
You can't leave me here alone,
Because, I know I will drown
I'm fading...
Becoming...
Less than me...

A shadow...
Of who I once was..
Like my body...
Memories have turned to dust...

Wounded...painfully...
A voice raised...in silent screaming...
And each wound makes me...
Less than me!

The beating of my heart,
Is the only sound
You can't leave me here alone,
Because, I know I will drown!
I'm fading!
Becoming!
Less than me!
But you are never with me...
And that's why you don't see...

Still Breathing

When I am lost, Can't find myself, So alone, And need some help I stand up, And lift my head, I'm still here, So not dead (I'm still breathing...!) If I believed in angels, I'd call I'm satisfied if I don't fall I just want to prove to you, to me, That I'm being the best man I can be As I breathe... I feel the innocence tonight, I feel the whole world, as it takes flight I feel tomorrow and today, I feel us all, as we change I feel the fire and the pain, Through it all, here, I remain It can be so much to take, As long as I breathe, I won't break I still breathe... When I am hurt, With so much strain, And it's so hard, To breathe again I shout out, Bare my soul Holding on, Not letting go (I'm still breathing...!) If I believed in angels, I'd scream That I really need to hear them sing I just want to prove to you, to me, That I'm being the best man I can be I still breathe...! I feel the innocence tonight, I feel the whole world, as it takes flight I feel tomorrow and today, I

deep inside there is even less

"It is like walking on a cloud, except that it is easier to fall down." They call you an angel, your frail wings weighted down by the dust of your uselessness, but I know that by the kaleidoscope pressed to your chest, past your constricted lungs, and your crumbling bones, that you have a heart. One that only an angel, like you are, could not only hold; but withstand. Withstand the reasons that love's hands reach higher to the skies (to the stars, away, and away-farther and farther), and it's mourning songs. The ones only your ears can hear. The songs that make love so miserable.

Emotionless

I only show you the outside, on the inside. I'm broken. I keep all my emotions bottled away, you think I can't express them. but I do. I want you to see that. These are my emotions, scared, hurt, angry, sad, happy. Plenty more, but you can't see that. You wanted my life, my emotionless state, it's a curse. I can't bear to show you my emotions, my sorrows, my pain. Always know just because you don't see the inside, doesn't mean it's not there.

my broken angel

my angel sits on the clouds with broken hearts on his mind and stitches on his lips. his wings are rusty and all he can do is watch the masses as they sin and pray. sin and pray. a repeated, mechanical function that stings like pinpricks. f a l l i

dear self,

1. tomorrow is not worth waiting for. sure, there will be sunshine (with a slight chance of rain) and sure, some kid will be smiling, and yes, life is still moving on, but it's not like anyone cares. 2. you just want someone to love you, misery and tears and all. maybe you could spend saturdays curled up under the covers, memorizing the patterns of breathing. maybe you could count the seconds but the problem is that there would never be enough, the problem is that there's nothing there to love. 3. no one is listening. 4. i'd write you a letter, but you'd never read it. i'm stuck screaming into my own heart, wonderin

confessions of lostwithoutyou.

i'm not a liar. but i never told you that you always looked best in black. i liked how your skin would fade to a paler shade of perfection and your perfect teeth would glint a little brighter. and i could pretend for an evening that you were my black and white dream come true. and with you there would be no shades of inbetweens and no grays for us to get lost in. i never told you but it's true.   + i was never able to tell you, but i hate the way you cook your 'specialty' eggs. you always laughed over your shoulder and told me that they are the best food i’ll ever eat, that i was blessed to get the chance to taste them melt

i told you that i liked boys who smoked cigarettes, because then i knew that they needed something. i told you that i liked roses without the thorns, because then they wouldnt hurt so much when they got picked. i told you that i liked it when you held my hands because i didnt feel quite so lonely, not quite. i told you that i'd love you 'til the stars exploded and the clouds devoured us- and you said nothing. you said nothing. *** (here's a little history.) in vietnam people hurt other people. people burned themselves- (i wish i was that brave.) they threw chemicals and hid in the ground and laughed when the others cried. its

acropolis

living girl, do not build an armory out of incisors & fractured femurs do not seek to fit this throne of bones; do not shrink into the framework of this citadel feral girl, feral heart, we can scoff at those who want to live forever (immortality is fickle) but we are more than lost baby-teeth & we have words to give yet

Closer

too close to see, you are too close to me, an eclipsing gaze, all arms across us, i wouldn't leave, if i could go but you know this - you knew of love once you want to know again, you try to kiss me, as if drawing love out, and breathing love in, die again and again, you'd rather, than death you've almost known, too close for comfort

Literature

Not For Me, For You

not for me to feel - nothing as far as i can see, nothing close to me, my heart is deeper under, the black wells of forget, tears are the only stars i see, why do stars burn to live dreams are mute walls; sky is lost to a vapor moon - i drift, not forever is a veil i will wear to cover me from the absence of myself; i will hide behind the anonymity of trees, for you to feel left behind

She Dances With Fire

She dances with fire, a dragon in tow. Twirling with flames; graceful and slow She dances tonight, in a city of ash. Her feet leaving footprints, where the sand will splash. Quietly mourning, as time goes by; Where once she beheld a home in her eyes... Yet naught but the barest of bones remain, And so she dances, to soothe the pain.

Locking your child away, with no possessions, no human contact, no bed, without anything, rather than trying to understand them, to help them, is a crime.

You hear some disturbing things when yours is the only voice.

Trust me. I know.
