I'm here for you, Silly.I wish you'd stop!
Stop yourself from hating the person I love.
Can't you see what you're making her do?
Everyday, she has to put a fake smile on...
She tries to act invisible, and she doesn't realize that I see her and the rest of the pain and misery she brings with her.
She's starving herself, and she doesn't seem to get that I'm here and that I care for her.
She cuts her arms, forcing herself to hide her beautiful body.
She cries, every night, and every time she does I feel so useless...
I wish I'd help her.
I wish she see that I am here.
I'm here for her, all the time.
I just wish she'd notice it.

Now, please, wake up.

Dancing Without FeetShe goes from room to room, throwing things, smashing things
She paints furiously with a wide brush, canvas after canvas
Solid black
I feel her

Miles away, I dream of twisted tangles of train tracks
Of holes in floors, of trying to find my way home
Rain won't stop
Day won't break

We could find comfort in each others' arms, but it can't be
Life is complicated, this isn't a movie, there are no heroes
Time won't wait
Jesus won't save

Even though our stars are misaligned, we fight together from afar
Stay awake until the end of the ride, when its over you can
Close your eyes
And I mine

escaping mercuryYou taste like the sky
soft clouds
melting
on the tip of my tongue

cuckoos and apple trees
embroider
your barely dressed bones,
a ribcage drenched in dust
(melting)

we are a sunrise
fleeing the north,
come take a walk with me
(a walk into an ocean)

soft waves
swallow us whole
only dying makes us grow,
so tonight we drown.
(we’ll dream tomorrow)

and I’ll sing for you
a lament for the lost,
the waves that kissed our feet.

Take My HeartWounded hearts bleed so deep
I grasp bending down on one knee
I up look up at her
With tears in my eyes
Begging and pleading one more time

Please I cry
Remove it from me
I can't handle the pain
So deep within me

Let me feel nothing
Because its all a lie
Love is supposed to be beautiful
Yet instead I cry

Lifting the knife
With shaking hands
Blood dripping from it
Into the sand

Kneeling down next to me
Her eyes open wide
Staring at the fresh scars
Where my heart does be

Shaking her head
She holds me close
Covering the cuts
As I lean in close

Cry little one
She says to me
Pour your heart out
Let the pain free

wordless birdthere was a boy

with bird bones

he never spoke

he stared at me until

i fell in love with him

woke

up with him

he listened to me until

i ran away from him

he was a little bird who

never said a word

TeachersTeachers are always the one that reach us
They sometimes be sitting on the bleachers
Cheering us
Sharing us
Class by Class
I love how I go from first to last
They help me past
With a 80 by chance
Notes
I usually study
But I don't do it without my buddy
Teachers are always funny
And some can just be mean and ugly
The chubby ones always sit
The skinny ones always move
The ones with the crazy hair always style got grove
You know it's true I had them ever since the 12th year
And all I can say is nothing ever seems fair.

Driving Me InsanePlease sew my heart up
Because I don't want to express
My thoughts out to you
I'm feeling a bit like suicide
But I don't want you to know
Just how I'm feeling at all

Please just numb the pain
And help me deal with the shame
Because I'm trying to forget your name
Since you're driving me insane
But I can't take the medicine recommended

Unwanted references are linked with me
I didn't do those things, I know I didn't
Don't even think of touching me
Cause I don't want anything to do with you anymore

Please just numb the pain
And help me deal with the shame
Because I'm trying to forget your name
Since you're driving me insane
But

DivideThings haven't told you,
things you're to know.
things coming closer,
I am to go.

Thanks fore the smile,
thanks for those days.
Thank you, for never,
the worst in your face.

Sorry, never, will,
tell you Goodbye.
Sorry, in some time,
for you i will die.

The worst of all,
you'll never see.
How big the wound,
has grown to be.

You'll see a friend,
who smiling stands.
I'll see a start,
that wrongly ends.

I know all this story,
I wrote it myself.
I left it, forgotten,
in sad-painted shelf.

Your love
Is someone else's
Therefore I just
Not calling out to you
Glare at your back

The Problem with PopI drank a Mountain Dew today,
green cocaine speedingtowardsthesun
Light sounds like everything exists in slow motion
while you speed toward the future, alone.
I drive by a construction site:
sparks fly from the welder's gun-
liquid gold turning into goblins
and fairies and all my broken dreams.
My eyes blink
and blink
blinkblink
there is no relief from this.
I think of you and green chokes me,
my breathing - short & labored.
It's hard enough every other second of the day:
you fill my lungs, memories of your breath on my neck.
a vise about my heart.

Pride won't let me admit the truth,
except alone,
in the dark,
when all the

barkbaby did you ever think
my heart could ch-churn so chunkily?
Like a reactive lump of meat
buzzing in its juices and I -
sometime - I can't b-breathe too well
the sky's too hot
And your voice sinks like snow, so
stop singing Hosanna so gracefully
What good shall whispering do?
Bark out a song like you're spitting out your sin

before I bulge out of my skin

Empathy.You said it was one of those nights
when the laboured breathing of the slumbering world plagued the earth with lethargy,
and the liveliest of people would crawl into their beds,
seeking solace in the dreams that release them from reality's hold.
As they sank into the deepest of subconscious visionaries, you sighed
and opened the blinds.

I never knew what on earth you meant.
Surely someone waited for you in the warm folds of a comforter,
struggling to hold onto consciousness,
so that you could join them and fall asleep in their company?
As I cocked my head to one side in confusion, you sighed
and turned away in sorrow.

Glancing at

Safe.Moving forward.

I can feel the world flying by beneath me when I'm on the highway. Each turn, each tiny bump of the concrete against the tires, is gone the second you feel it, immediately replaced by another.

There's an erratic rhythm to it, like a heartbeat. That, combined with his, which I could hear clearly with my head against his side, formed a perfect beat, one I could fall asleep to, one I could smile to, or dance to, or live by. It'd only been six hours, and yet I was so unbearably happy to be at his side again, where it's warm, where it's safe, where at each sharp turn his arm would hold me a bit tighter than before.

The Devil is my Higher PowerLike the blowing breeze
Rise from my knees to be taken
Anywhere I please
Which is before you
On top of you
Setting up camp inside you
Damp and dark I'm home now

Fire burns in my stomach
And I move from its center
Better than the chambers of my mind
Combined with right versus wrong
My head melts into consciousness
And I can swear I know your eyes
As if they were mine

Our breath is the metronome
Of our hearts so our bodies
Fall in step in line transcending time
One word: Sublime
And our rooted existence
Anchors our souls in reality
Which is what Love is
When Venus conjoins Saturn

And Love
I go wild for you
Touch the divi

HeavenHe hides in his attic
on Harvey Street
while she perches on
a rafter with the bats.
He stumbles
around bean bag chairs
ice cube trays game
consoles sea glass
and comic books.

She wonders
if he was like this when they
were together.

Artificial light
cooks his brain
cells at 400 degrees
Fahrenheit and
he’s starting to get
dizzy but there’s
something he was
looking for.
Oh yes that book.
Romeo something.
Maybe.
He’s not sure.

She watches him
spinning. Poor dear
what to do?

He falls on his back
and stares right at her
but through her.

Juliet. That was it.
But there is no Juliet.
Maybe she’s in Wisconsin.

A Deal with the DemonShe lay beneath the sun's searing flare
Her blood dripping
Into the silver river
Running down her cheeks
And through her hair
"Goodbye," she told the world

Once, this girl was a wealthy princess
Once she was too precious and priceless
Once, she wore the most beautiful dresses
She danced in balls of golden floors

They say the princess made a horrible deal
A deal with the demon of the gold and steel
They say the demon would give her a wheel
Of gold and diamonds if she let him "heal"
Her poor tired soul

The princess agreed for the wheel was tempting
In a matter of seconds her soul was empty
And the demon took over and was now at

A silent WishI close my eyes
Because sometimes
It's overwhelming to watch
The wonderful beauty of the world
Would burn my heart like a flaming torch
The calm night sky is full of stars
And the silver moon is smiling at Mars
The trees are gossiping, mixing truths with lies
And our paths are lit by fireflies
The owls are purring their soft, sleepy cries
It's just the right time to make a silent wish
As a shooting star drops from the skies

smiles into my eyes"So, what do you think love is?" I asked a little kid
It took him a while to answer. Then, he looked up at me and said, "It's when my mom holds my hand and smiles Into my eyes."
I consider this for moment, pat him on the head and say, "Huh, I really can't deny that."

A Billion LandsEven in our dreams
Beneath our sleepy eyes
We can feel those screams
And they make us realize
That we haven't had the agony
And the pain we thought we had
There's still that screeching symphony
In a million other lands
No in a billion other lands, there's faith
More than we'll ever understand
There's hope in children's hearts
And strength
A different strength of a different brand
And mothers and fathers, and girls and guys
Who carry great patience in their tired eyes
Stubborn that the days must definitely bring
A sweet lullaby that the birds will sing
As for us, we'll have to remember
That no matter how life makes us feel

Your cupid arrows

Dear love,
I've recently come to think
That you're trying to kill me
Before my time comes

I've began to believe
That your cupid arrows
Bear suffering to their victims
Instead of hope

It seems to me that
Your invisible chords
Are lashing at me and sometimes
I can't get away

And I often wonder why
You've given me too much to love
All at once and then taken it
Away from me before
I got to say goodbye

But I want to tell you that
I will never let you cripple me
Because I've seen it enough for me
To understand the pain that it brings

I will fight your strange shadows
And I will get out of my bed
Every morning; I will dodge your arrows.
I hate you very much

I really like your piece here as a whole. Is it a little humor I sense in the first stanza? It was a strong opener. I have to say though, the ending was shocking. I did not see that coming at all. You were staying optimistic, positive, upbeat, and then BAM! "I hate you very much." Is that really what you want to convey? Just curious, not telling you to change it.

Few quick fixes:

"I began to" instead of I've
"Bear suffering for" instead of to
"I've seen its" instead of it
Use . or -- instead of semicolon following "Every morning"

What do you mean by "chords"? I'm not sure that is the right version of the word there. Also, you could re-write line 3 in that same stanza to play up the imagery of being drawn in by them (instead of "lashing", consider some other verbage to strengthen that idea).

Nice work here!

well when i wrote this poem I was thinking about love itself as if love is the "person" im speaking to but i guess no one got that so i was just like: oh well it must have a different meaning to different people. and at the end when i say "I hate you very much," it's because i hate the pain...so...yeah. thank you btw

~Danni-Chan15 Dec 30, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

And that's exactly how being in love is, I really can relate to this

~TheLaughingDreamer Dec 31, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

~Bhabayagga Dec 30, 2012 Student Writer
