Under the Rain

How can I tell you the truth?
How can I say what I feel?
How can you just go off
And ignore me for days
Then expect me to talk to you
Like nothing happened?
Why should I hug you
When you need a hug?
Why can't you do that for me?
Do you really want to know
How I feel?
Can you really handle the truth?
What do you think?
Don't you know how I feel?
I've tried to tell you before.
I can't tell you how I feel
If you won't listen.
All you do is ask for help
When you're hurt
And afraid.
And alone.
But you never want to see
That side of me.
How can I tell you the truth
If you don't want to hear it?
How can you help me
If you don't want to get wet
And I'm under the rain?

Mirror

Mirror You look in the mirror and what do you see? You're too tall, too short, too fat, too thin, Just. Too. Ugly. Your mirror hangs on the wall, Showing you what you look like. Yet, you don't see what it shows. You see the flaws. There is always something wrong. You're big footed, big eared, broad shouldered, big hipped, Just. Too. Ugly. You look away when you see your reflection. You can't see anything good. You're small chested, muffin topped, nappy headed, poorly dressed, Just. Too. Ugly. You look in the mirror and can't see what's on the inside. You're sweet, giggly, funny, uplifting, Just. Too. Beautiful. You think that what is loo

Love is Just a Word Until Someone Comes Along...

Lay awake, I'm robbed of sleep I hear the raindrops tap the street Forgetting all I've fallen for, I can't go on I can't be more Hidden behind tapestries Adorned with painful memories Slowly realize what you've done, I've lost it all I've come undone A fallen angel at your feet A broken mess at your mercy Heartless in my time of need, you walked away You watched me bleed Holding out for fate unknown A missing piece, an empty home Living life with no one there, I know I'm lost But I don't care Within the boundaries of myself Crying out for someone's help Wishing for, with all my heart They'll stop the pain and light the dar

My Perfect Mistake

As he drew, His pencil slipped, Leaving an undesired mark upon his canvas. Erasing leaves shadows, And the mark he left was far too heavy. He began to think to himself. Something familiar was there, Something he simply could not shake. He had seen this before, He had seen it and forgotten. This particular memory was destined to be lost forever, Forever lost in the depths of his mind. He then started to think deeper. How many "mistakes" were thrown away? There was something quite incredible here, And he was seconds from tossing it aside forever. Fate had given him another chance To reclaim this gem that had been tossed careles

Love

Love It's such a fickle word That we throw around It's meant to be The most important word It can change your life But it's said and not meant And thrown around by teens Who don't know the meaning Love It doesn't exist nowadays The ones that have their soul mate They are the exception Not the rule Love It freaking sucks. It only ends in heartbreak Love at first sight Doesn't exist either That's just lust Love The day you show me love exists Is the day That I make pigs fly.

codes won't listen

i am endings underneath throats. corpulent and wild, sucking water from lungs to keep faults alive. love is a risk. love is a fault. i swim within rudders spraying green water angry and beaten against storm drains. water belongs nestled in every lung. i disappear beneath fault's teeth corroding until i end.

Hate

Right now, I hate myself. I hate everything about me. I hate that I'm not beautiful, I hate that I don't feel special, I hate that I hate myself, I hate everything about me. I feel like I have, This ball of depression, Pushing down on the top of my lungs, And my spine. I don't know what to do, It makes me feel sick. And all I want to do, Is vomit up my emotions. And I have these notions, That life isn't worth living, When you're not living life, But what is worth living life for? I feel as if I have this fog, Covering my brain, And blinding my eyes, And I hate it. I hate feeling like no one cares, I hate feeling like

In Love With You

Your untamed soft hands touch me in ways I always crave for, Tease me in sweet ways I could never prepare for, Hold me in between like I am the only one, And always distract me unexpectedly when we kiss. I can feel your love in the movement of your lips, A total warm pleasantness as you cling to me. And maybe a small part of my mind actually registers the surprise, As your warm hands reach curiously for more. In sweetness your love blinds me, In my heart your love completes me, Come tomorrow I hope you'll still crave me, And oh, I think I'm in love with you, completely.

Literature

I know you, I love you

We fall in love with the microscopic, rough-edged details of people. We crave the knowledge of our lovers, crave to know them the way nobody else can. In a way, these idiosyncrasies become our own personal gift, a sliver of our favorite person preserved within ourselves. You love the way he licks his lips twice before saying something important, exactly twice, like he’s counting out two seconds to reclaim his composure. You love how her fingertips smell like turpentine and lavender when she finishes a painting because she doesn’t stop until her brushes are clean, and then she spends too much time trying to scrub her hands fresh.

Die

Die: Such a simple word, spewed without thought. "I wish you'd die, I wish you'd be killed." But what if we actually gave meaning to those words? Can you understand the emotion, the magnitude, the weight, Of actually seeing the life of an individual depart? Can you look them in the eyes, as they bleed into your hands; Observing their final moments, as the light fades from their eyes? Or are you simply a soft-hearted coward, Sitting fat behind a computer, wishing death upon others? To say that one is deserving of death, Suggests that you are ready to kill. And if indeed you are ready to kill, Then you too must be prepared to die.

You Will Not Read This

When a writer puts his soul and passion into his work. It will go unnoticed, often because of its length. It is a rather sad fact, but a truth nonetheless. For the simple emotions conveyed in just a few words, Often hold more sway with those who are emotionally swayed. There is no depth of the heart, nor a single thought spared. For the effort placed into a piece that forgoes the winning edge, For a hint of true meaning. You will not read this piece and I will not expect you to. It will not be popular or famous, nor will it see the light of day. For length is the bane of true poetry, And that is why so many of my kin have already l

Maybe, Just Maybe

Why can't I be sad about this? Not a single tear has flown Am I emotionless? Am I a monster? Why can't I be sad about this My mood seems to be the same Am I heartless? Am I empty? Why can't I be sad about this The others have their masks on Why do I not need mine? What have I become? Or maybe, just maybe I have grown used to the pain Of losing someone who's close to me Maybe, just maybe

This is about a friend of my who can forget about others but when they do think about you, they usually try. So I'm just a bit annoyed with them.
