Have You Ever...

Have you ever loved?
Loved someone so much,
so much that you’d do anything,
anything for them ‘til death?

I have, but never you.

Have you ever cried?
Cried for someone so much,
so much that you flooded,
flooded your heart with despair?

I have, but never for you.

Have you ever thought?
Thought of someone so much,
so much that it drove you crazy,
crazy ‘til you couldn’t stand it?

I have, but never of you.

Never did I love.
Never did I cry.
Never did I think.
Not once about you.

You meant to help,
to be there for me.

but all you did was clear my mind.
You made me see,

that I never belonged to you,
and you should’ve never belonged to me.

Mixed Emotions

I dread each day and yet I don’t
Betrayed, I feel, the ones I love
The tears I hoped were gone still flow
Freely as ever. Each day I miss them
More and more. Everyone I knew, as of
late or much longer, seems more distant
as the time apart grows. I wish to
be in their warm embrace once again.
The year seems like it’s almost gone,
Though it’s only begun and I
wonder what I could’ve done; done
to stop this evil fate of mine I’ve still
not fully accepted.

The world knows no limit to it’s torture
It seems. Day after day it carries on
With it’s despicable task; handing
To those who do not wish it mountains
Of sadness. I’ve tried to reason
With the world, but it’s of no
Use. My family ignores my pleas
And my friends stand by my side
As helpless as I. The world may
Work in mysterious ways, not meant
To be understood by man, but it matters
To me not. I shall never understand these
Events, but shan’t be satisfied until
I do. My life is in a knot. ‘Tis true,
Though I know not why; my life was a perfect
Quilt ‘til now. My stitching has gone
Astray waiting for someone to fix it.

The Vines

The vines
cover my window.
No sunlight in,
no one looks out.

The vines
cover my wall.
Faces not visible;
their smiles gone.

The vines
cover my room.
My world disappears.
I’m unable to move

The vines
cover my hand.
I watch as my life
walks out on me.

The vines
cover my face.
Invisible to the world,
no one sees me.

The vines
cover my brain.
I can’t think.
My eyes come to a close.

The vines
cover my heart.
Turning black with
no light; no life.

The vines
cover my body,
burying me,
making my grave.

The vines
cover the ground
nothing, but vines.
Everything’s dead.

The vines
wilt away, dead,
leaving nothing behind;
leaving only dust.

Puppets on a String

It is the difficult decisions,
The choices that we make.
It is the lessons that we learn,
The scars upon our hearts.
The wounds we bear in silence
That shape who we are.
Memories give us comfort,
The strength to do what we must.
They shape who we once were
A starting point for who we're to become.

It is suffering in silence,
The tears that we cry.
Each drop of sweat carries a hefty price.
Shards of our identity rest in our hearts,
Broken time and again.
Is it better to close off our hearts to the inevitable pain-
To erect strong walls- feeling numb or feeling heartache?

Time inexorably moves forward
Pain will eventually fade.
Caught in the strands,
Our life is not our own.
Like marionettes we dangle on strings
Waiting for the puppeteer to make us move.

Faint Beat

I open two windows
I open my eyes.
Yes. Now you can feel it.
The cool breeze

It's empty.
What's behind the curtain.
The enchanting curtain we call iris.
All a fake cover

Put your ear on my ear;
hear what I hear.
Noisy, isn't it?
These are my thoughts

You can at last hear them.
Really... Can you? They're so many...
..so many that my head will burst.
Your head's going to burst, too.

Place your hand on my chest.
Do you feel my heart?

I hope it's suitable....

Here is one if you are accepting...


Grief: gaiusmarius8

Know why my face is strewn with tears
Do you know why I reveal my fears
Ever wondered why I pass by the jeers
Ever get spooked by my weary leers
Did you ever think why I separated from my peers

I'll tell you why, why I died from the inside
I'll reveal my inner most secrets, my dark side
I'll uncover where in my mind I hide
I'll hold your hand as we delve inside

Welcome to my lair, welcome to my grief
It looks vast, but it is quite brief
Take a look around in the umbrage
Observe your scenery, alike my visage

You question the umbra's forging
You examine how my darkness is forming
You ask about the tools to my tenebrosity
I answer your question with generosity

The answer to your questions is death
Ever felt a death poison you like meth
Ever felt a friend leave you in a breath
Ever felt a cure die and you remain with bad health

That.. is how you accomplish Grief

Premonition

If I were to c**k an automatic
And gently put it to my head
Then were to pull the trigger slowly
Then I suppose I would be dead

But my second half is bullet proof
And would simply walk away
Leaving my now dead better half
To lay waiting to decay

The clouds are menacingly rolling in
And the lightning strikes the ground
But my second half is lightning proof
Despite the deafening sound

My second half would walk straight through
The deadened wasteland of this world
Through racing bullets and the sun’s black hole
That half would stride fists curled

I suppose I shall unload the gun
For it’s not time yet for my goodbye
My second half must stay suppressed
And I’m not yet ready to die
