Perhaps I am wrong about life.
Maybe it isn't all bad.
After all, there is music,
And not all sonatas are sad.

Perhaps I am wrong about love
It can't be all that bad.
If it was, no one would want it
And no one would look so glad.

Perhaps I am wrong about tears.
Maybe they aren't all for pain.
Some are from laughter,
Some keep ( Read more... )

All alone

Here in the dust,

Watching the sky turn to

Dawn and then dusk.

I guess you aren’t

Coming back for me.

My wounds are bleeding,

Staining the ground.

I guess I’m not good enough

To be found.

I want to go home!

I want to cry out!

But my mouth won’t let me,

I’m too tired to shout.

I’m here.

All alone in the ( Read more... )

I don't usually write comments on my poetry before I post it, but I think this one warrants it. I absoulutely love this poem. I may be bias, but I think this one is really good, probably one of my best. Um, yeah. That's it. Just wanted to praise myself for my own writing.

I wish I was a bird
So I could fly.
I wish I was a cloud
So my tears would bring joy.
I wish I was a tree
So people would hug me.
I wish I was a flower
So people would admire me.
I wish to be anything,
Just as long as it's not me.

I miss my innocence
My child-like eyes.
I wish I hadn't seen
All those people die.

My eyes are cold,
My heart is dead.
All of those bodies
Their blood so red.

Why did I have to see it,
Watch all those people die?
Why was I the only one spared,
The only one still alive?

Why couldn't you just let me
Be another dead body?

I think about you all the time,
Always wishing you were mine.
Mine to hold, mine to touch.
I know I wish for way too much.

But perhaps I haven't made it clear,
I always want you to be here.
I want the courage to shout it out,
So that you no longer have a reason for doubt.

My head is filled with ( Read more... )

You hold my hand.
It brightens my life
That was once so bland.

I wish you would never let go.
We could stay like this forever,
Never feeling sorrow.

But you let my hand fall.
I lost you
I lost it all.

I thought I meant more
But I was only a replacement
As you waited for her to come through the door.

I ( Read more... )

You're constantly on my mind.
I don't know why,
It's not like you're kind.

I feel so stupid
Whenever I think of you.
My friends all say it's cupid.

It can't be true.
I mean, come on,
I'm so over you!

You don't even notice me.
So why don't you get out of my head
And set my mind free?

And as I lay me down to sleep,
I hope my secrets you will keep.
The broken glass, my broken home
My demons won't leave me alone.

Daddy won't call, he is dead.
Momma stabbed him in the head.
The screams I hear fill my ear
I've got to get away from here.

Let me die before I wake
There's not much more that I can take.
