You say you know me,
But I wonder if you really do.
Everything yet nothing
You care only about yourself.
Everbody else falls to the ground
Yet you keep walking, never looking back.
Cries of pain and despair wanting only mercy.
You ignore, they plead, you toss them to the side.
Pawns to do your bidding,
Manipulating everything you come across.
The world views you as a savior,
My dear friends see you as a destroyer,
I know you as a waste of time.
Power, fame. Money, glory.
The land bows beneath you,
Yet you keep on going,
Devouring until there is nothing left.
You go on a rampage,
I make sure my friends are safe,
If not far away then by my side.
You raze all to the ground,
I help replant and regrow.
You slip into insanity and eventually die.
I sit underneath a clear blue sky,
Watching clouds go by,
My dear friends by my side,
Chattering away the day and the night.
You fade away, forgotten and erased.
I sit drinking pearls in my tea.

Lttle bird, fly away.
Fly, fly, far away,
Anywhere away from here
Here there be tales.
Tales of monsters, spirits and magic.
Here there be Lonelyness.
Empty streets, Silent paths.
Here there be secrets.
Secrets only told if one dares to find out so.
So fly away little bird.
Fly to find a safe place.
Away from there and what may be here.

This is my first poem I have ever written and it is also my only published poem.
Decaying Bliss
By: Mariah Jacob
Dieing silently in your arms,
Only to await, life's deathly charms.
One last breath, death takes control,
That's when you see my life unfold.
I lie decaying, a look in your eye,
A tear has fallen, you say good-bye.
My last request, this you knew.
Was for you to be there, to be with you.
So many thoughts, run through your mind.
Can you go back? Back in time?
You knew what I wanted, my final wish.
To be who I am, a Decaying Bliss.

Pain
By: Mariah Jacob
PAIN, we have it, he hate it, we feel it.
PAIN, we take it, we say it, and we also create it.
PAIN, a feeling, a word, a dwelling.
PAIN, it hurts us, it kills us, it's swelling.
PAIN, lingers, threatens, and kills.
PAIN, healed, torn, dissolved by a pill.
PAIN, questions, death, locked up inside.
PAIN, part of life, it's real, it's something we hide!

Suffocating Me To Death.
By: Mariah Jacob
Running forever,
The night sky falls.
Stuck in the corner,
Surrounded by all four walls.
I fell to my knees,
Blood falling from my face.
Feeling my self dying,
Falling far from grace.
I lay on my back,
Looking up at the stars
Seeing what I've become,
My face now covered with scars.
The pain will linger,
My sights now gone.
Looking at the past,
I've waited too long.

The Pain Of Death.
By: Mariah Jacob.
The pain has never gone away,
But I'm ready to move on.
Hiding from the world today,
Always singing that love song.
I've always felt invisible,
Feeling so unseen.
Facing you, I'm vulnerable,
I'm living a lonely dream.
Wanting more of everything,
A life I never had.
Loving you meant nothing,
My death was never sad.

Depression Begins, Death Ends.
By: Mariah Jacob
A simple depression,
Relieved by bleeding.
Covered in darkness,
Heart beats speeding.
Hatred takes over,
Pain continues Dwelling,
Uncommon Overdose's,
Lead to daily yelling.
Love has Failed,
Memories Fade.
Heart's now broken,
A Gothic Decayed.

The Art Of Watching You Dress
You smile as I watch you carefully.
Each part you choose specifically,
Like the right piece to the puzzle
Featuring you.
Articulate. Slow-moving.
There never was such art
Before my eyes.
Each button easily buttoned,
Each belt loop occupied.
Every inch of your body
Scanned over by my wandering eyes.
How beautiful it is to see
Poetry in motion.
And from all the chosen pieces,
The best thing you wore
Was your sweet and loving
Smile.

Answer Me
Don't take this the wrong way,
But I'm in love with you
Your kisses make me weak
And happiness is what I seek
So give me your word or two
That all I'll have is you
Don't take this the wrong way,
But I want your last name
I wanna come home every night
And in front of me, have that sight
Of you waiting just for me
If you chance it, you will see
Don't take this the wrong way,
But I want to be with you forever
I feel like dying by your side
Baby, I've got nothing to hide
I can see us growing old
But commitment is not so bold
Please just tell me that I'm right
I wanna be with you every night
And fall asleep in your arms
I'm confused and I hurt like hell
Do you want me, 'cause I can't tell
But I'm here if you want to try
Don't take this the wrong way,
But I'm in love with you
Your kisses make me weak
And happiness is what I seek
So give me your word or two
That all I'll have is you
Oh, but please just do it right
And I'll be here every night
Just give me your word or two
I'm in love with you
[[just something I wrote when my husband and I were dating. ahhh. young love.]]

Lover of My Soul
You set me upon a pedalstool
You loved me for who I am
Yet why do you hurt me
And make me feel so bad.
When you wrapped your arms around me
I felt safe and never alone
Yet now I linger in the darkness
Your name still chills me to the bone.
I followed you wherever
You were my guide, my idol, my keeper
I clinged to the thought of you with me
Now you cant stand for me to be here.
You teased me, beat me, and scorned my very name
Though I did nothing but love you, you gave me all the blame.
The scars on my back are fresh, bleeding now because of you
For when I turned my back to look behind, it is what your knife took to

Black Blood
As it drips from my lips and runs down my neck I taste it.
The sweet enchantment of death.
It haunts me and I seek it out, waiting for the day it takes me.
The blood that flows within is black.
Lifting my head to the sky the moon cascades upon my face.
Reflecting a purity I had long forgotten.
Why is this lust for life so daunting I ask myself, but my heart is all that answers.
The blood that flows within is black.
Cloaked in darkness and encaptured in the void of deceit I wait.
Hoping to reject the ones that seek my redemption.
The more I purge, the more I become engrossed in filth.
The blood that flows within is death.

Outside the Looking Glass Looking In
Going beyond the depths of life, I am surrounded by eternal beauty.
The thought of being alone is all I've known and I cherish the sound of emptyness.
The light shines where darkness does not reach, but fails to illuminate.
Why do the gods torment me so for being genuine in my creativity and imagination?
The wonders I think up are scorned by those who set me upon pedalstools.
What have my dreams led me to?
Those who dare stay in my presence, experience great sorrow and soon leave me again.
My life a never ending cycle of torment and despair; I live
When will this God forsaken shell once again break into a million pieces
Leaving me shattered amongst the multitude to spit and step upon.
I am plastered behind a glass window for all the world to see.
My existence fragile; to been seen and not touched...a forbidden fruit if you will.
Going beyond the depths of life, I am surrounded by eternal beauty.
That beauty a curse and a gift in which I am its only bearer.

I know how a yellow canary feels,
To be trapped in a wire cage,
Free to sing, but not to leave,
Trapped within myself,
My exterior, sunny and bright,
But my heart longs for more,
The only comfort is to listen to those who sing and whistle,
So I can fly with them in my dreams
I yearn for much more, but all I have to look forward to is the last journey in life,
Death.

not really poetry, but i wrote it
if we were together i'd just want you to hold me closely and not let go, i'd want to lay down next to you, face to face, not talking or anything. just staring into each others eyes for hours. then eventualy i'd place one single kiss on your lips then rest my head on your chest so i could hear your heartbeat and fall asleep thinking about how lucky i am to have such an amazing guy all to my self and remind myself to never do anything that may come close to ruining what we have to together. but right before i fall completly a sleep i'd whisper the three words that i love to say everyday to the man i love....
"i love you"

In death you will find
I have always been kind
So take cheer my friend
This is only the beginning of the end
Take my hand
Get on your feet and stand
Once an angel now cast down
Tears drip on your blood-stained gown
Come, for I hold the truth
Things you sought in your youth
Rise up and take your place
Or pour your blood in a vase
Watch your life flash before your eyes
A heaven you seek amongst the skies
Or a flame within earth
Death's cruel mirth
Watch from the veil to see them grieve
Do they seek to deceive?
What would you believe,
In your death you could achieve?
What then would you seek,
in a world so bleak?
