Wondering...Sometimes...
I wonder if I'm the only one
who feels pain...
Or if I'm just
bad at hiding it.

Part of LifeWhy do the tears have to flow?
Why does pain have to hurt so bad?
Why is love filled with so much hatred?

I guess…
it's just a part of life.

StitchThere. I did it.
It's a little tattered, but I fixed it.
The sewing isn't the best, and I pricked my fingers once or twice,
but I fixed it for you.

So here is my heart.
Once more, I give it to you.
Please treat it better this time;
remember it's very fragile.

Oh…oh dear. You broke it again.
Here, let me see it, I can fix it.
I'll just take out my sewing needle and red thread.
It'll be fixed in no time, promise! Will you wait for me?

Wait…where are you going?
I'm almost done! Don't go!
I'll hurry if you need to be somewhere!
Just a few more stitches! Then it'll be good as new!

Gosh, you're gone now…
Just as I fi

KeysSo beautiful...
So poetic...

But which one fits the damn door??

Self-DestructionI hate you so much
yet
I love you to death.

I want to be [as far away from you as possible,]
but I know I could -never live without you.-

I'm the only one who can truly
see through your mask and
I wish you would let others see,
but I know exactly why you don't want to.
And as crazy as it sounds,
I understand your masochistic ways.
When you have pain in your life,
you want it to {go away,}
but when it's not there,
you feel ...e.m.p.t.y...

I get it.

And I know how afraid you are
[of yourself]
and how afraid you are
of others.
I know you have trust issues and even though
I know the most about you,
I know you don't t

It was me and the moon and the stars and the sky
People

We basked in each other's company

There was no you

FrozenThe still waters stare in front of me
[like a glassy cage]
A mirror of my soul
L i g h t n i n g without its
T h u n d e r . . .

A golden leaf floats out of the clutches
of a golden tree
lands on the water
without a single r i p p l e ...

To protrude the closed-off heart.

Time Knows No EndTick.
Tick.
Tick.
Time is running out.
Tick.
Tick.
The past is a mirror; an untouchable,
separate world, to which we can never venture.
Tick.
Once a second goes by, it is gone forever.
Just like a life.
Once you die, you cannot return to the world of the living.
Tick.
Tick.
Yet somehow, even though you and I will one day meet our end,
time moves on still.
Tick.
Tick.
Tick.

Untitled.I want to hurt myself...
I want to puncture my skin...
I want to feel the pain...
I want to see the blood...

...but I'm afraid.

I want to cry,
but the tears won't come.

I feel like an empty shell.
Heartless,
soulless,
emotionless.
Void of feeling anything

outside of this hell.

Someone HelpShe wears a mask.
Few know
but those who do can't help,
don't want to help,
or don't care.

She's told some friends;
they turned away,
they changed,
they didn't want to hear it.

The mask is growing stronger, now.
She can turn it off and on without warning.

I feel like I'm losing her.
She's fading from my grasp.
I'm stretching my hand to her, but she can't reach it!
She can't reach my hand…

I want to save her…
I have to save her…
Please let me save her!

InvisibleWalk right past me.
Don't acknowledge me.
Don't talk to me.

Anyone else might go crazy,
but I found out a long time ago that I'm

invisible.

Lonely WingsShe walks off with another friend
It's okay, I tell myself.

I've always been alone,
even in a crowd.
It's how I've always been...
how I always will be.

I'll always be alone
because I make no effort

to change that.

Nameless LoveI always admired the way she stared off into space, the way she'd get so absorbed in reading and writing, and I loved her smile. I loved the way she chewed on the end of her mechanical pencil whenever she paused her writing and the way her eyes seemed to search like they were sorting through the words in her head, picking out the ones she'd use and determining the best order. I loved the slight smile that spread across her lips as she thought.

I loved everything she ever wrote; not that she'd ever show me. I loved how when she put her headphones in, she lost herself in the music. I loved her insecurity with herself. I loved her self consciou

Why Does It Have to be You?Yes, yes, I know.
This is a mistake...
loving you, that is.

Yes, I know last time it ended badly,
but can I deny my heart of what
it truly wants?

I try, darling,
really I do.
But I'm addicted to you.

Love is a curse - binding me to the depths of hell...
all because its unrequited?
How is that fair?

You light up my world
and make me smile.
It's an impressing feat these days.

I blush when I read your texts.
I smile when I send one back,
blushing, of course.

Why are you the one that races through my mind?
Why are you the one invading my dreams?
And most of all...

Why do I still love you?

008You think you know pain...

Try living a lie.

You think this is as bad as it gets...

Step in my shoes for ten seconds - you'll change your mind.

You think you're worse than me.

I wish I knew someone who was.

So confused...

But you're smart enough.

So out of it...

But I'm further gone.

You feel so in-the-dark, when really,

You're completely in the light,

Whereas I'm

Forever in the darkness.

First SnowWith the silence
comes questions that fill my mind.
Why?
My heart is filled with sorrow...

The snow falls with a certain sadness
-perhaps a mistake-
falling apart as they softly hit the ground.

The white reminds me of you,
cold-hearted...
yet soft and beautiful.
Freezing my skin, but I wouldn't leave
just because of the red of my nose and cheeks.

Poised tall and majestic,
you fell slowly and softly from the sky
only to melt into my hand.
And then, perhaps then,
is when we fused together.

Why Do We Love?I wonder sometimes
how things would be different had I
kissed you then.

Would we be walking |hand|in|hand|
through the park?
Would we be making memories right now?

I'll never know,
because they were right;
I do regret it.

I wish, now that I had kissed you
when you gave me the chance,
so I wouldn't be sitting here thinking how it'd be different.

When I look at you, when I'm with you,
I'm happy...
an emotion hard to come by these days.

Every time we hang out,
I think about how I ruined our friendship then.
Once something is |b|r|o|k|e|n|, it can never be completely f-i-x-e-d.

But I don't think you do.
You said your part: "Let

Suffocation

_{Her wings are broken,
clipped with the broken promise:
"Tomorrow will always come."

Lies weaved themselves into the walls
and are showing through the peeling wallpaper.
Written from floor to ceiling by a monstrous hand
are tallies… Counting the days
'til tomorrow.}

_{In my 'school issued iPad', I write ramblings and such. In one of the last things I wrote, the words were "...but he doesn't seem to remember the words I wrote. I remember them. Of course I remember them. They were my feelings... my emotions... my suffocation." And I kind of looked at the word suffocation and BAM! poem.}

I love this too. I like the emotions that play through this. It's like...yeah waiting till tomorrow...and tomorrow is supposed to always come, but what if it doesn't? Great stuff once again
