Blind Eyes

I have such
Pretty eyes,
I know,
It’s such a shame to have to
Cover them
With glasses.

And it’s
Saddening to know
That one day
They won’t be able
To view the world
Any longer,
Ruined by
Blindness

All beautiful things
Are broken,
It seems.

The Reaper

Death is standing on my porch
And knocking on my door,
But I’m screaming at it,
Saying that it’s not my time yet,
And begging it
To let me finish
With what I need to do
Before I’m stolen from this world
And dragged into the deep pit
Of Hell.

Figment of My Imagination

Why is it that
Whenever I talk to you,
I feel as if
I’m talking to
Someone that’s not real…
A character from a book, perhaps.
Not because you’re perfect;
I don’t know why.
You make
Keeping my mind
In a fantasy world
Easy.

Don't Abandon Me

I no longer can feel
The tiredness in my droopy eyes,
Or the contact between my feet
And the ground they touch.
My senses are disappearing;
My soul is fighting
To get out of the body
It's trapped in.

Attached

Lace your fingers with mine
And let it be proof
That I won’t let you go.

Give Me Answers

I wait to hear the answers aloud
From others’ mouths
To the questions
I only ever asked
Inside my head.

Save Me From Insanity

I strip
And I scratch
And I cry out so silently,
Laying in my bed,
Awaiting the arrival
Of someone to
Busy my hands with theirs,
Hold my body close to theirs,
And shush my silent cries.

Panic Attack

Why is it that
I strip of my clothing
So quickly
When the times comes to change?
It’s almost as if
I am in fear
Or digust
Of them,
Anxious to rid my body
Of the clinging fabrics.

Leave My Body

May I strip away all my sins,
All my fears,
All my mistakes,
All my regrets,
My stupidity,
And all other unwanted
Aspects of me—
My life.
Just save the insanity,
Maybe.
May I strip away all
Said things
With the stripping of these clothes?
Night after night,
I’ll try.

I'm Next

My eyes always wander,
Scanning the area
For who it could be.
The thought occurred quite suddenly though,
That it could be me.

Lazy.

I have been robbed
Of all my energy.
All I can do now
Is lay here
With my eyes closed,
Unmoving,
And not to speak a word.

My Best Friend

To have truthful friends to
Tell you how bad you look, to
Show their hate for who you’re dating, to
Laugh at all hope you have for yourself, to
Have no respect for you, to
Slam your head into walls and
Push you to the ground, to
Hate you, to
Treat you like the horrible, disgusting
Monster that you are.

Just Give Up

Stop complaining,
All of you.
I’m not making you wait;
You’re choosing to.
I’m not worth the wait anyway,
So why bother?

Remember Me

When I lay here, dead,
None of this will matter anymore…
So why does it matter now
If it won’t then?
I’d rather spend time
Doing something
That people will
Remember me for.

Kiss Me

My lips are screaming out the words
“Just kiss me,”
But you don’t seem to be getting the message.

Unbalanced

In my two hands
I balance
Two people;
One person in each hand.
Although sometimes
One side outweighs the other,
Neither side ever hits the ground.
Yet,
Now that I see you
Standing in front of me,
I want to simply
Drop
The two of you that
Occupy my hands
And instead
Wrap you up in my arms
And claim you as mine.
The only problem
Is the hurt I would feel
When I would look back
And see the two I held before
Shattered on the ground
From the sudden drop.

Lucky

I sit here, smiling,
And I ask myself how I managed to
Get so lucky.

Disappointment

Every time,
I get my hopes up…
And every time,
You let me down.
But I won’t mention it
Because you’re worth too much
To me
For me to let you know
That you keep
Letting me down.

I See You, Though

some reason
I never thought of you as
A real
Person.
Only now
Am I actually seeing
That you are.
I observe
Your movements
And listen closely
For your words.
I realize that
You’re real
And really there;
Just nobody
Pays you any attention.
You do what I wish I could do;
Disappear, even though
You’re in plain sight.
Nobody knows, though,
That you’re there
And you exist.

Teach me.

But then
Your cover
Would be blown…

How tricky.

Hide Your Face

If I tilt my head down,
Draping my hair over my face
So I can’t see you,
Then maybe I’ll become lucky enough
For you to not see me either…
Because my face is
Too ugly
To be in the
Public eye.

What have I become...

Fake Emotions

Every smile is a fake
Because this happiness
Isn’t what it seems.
It almost comes with more
Sadness and tears
Than smiles and laughter.

Your happiness is fake too,
I know.

Beautiful Tears

I’m crying, and I know you’re crying too.

Tonight, I sleep in a puddle
Of a mix
Of your tears and mine
Together.

Fallen Pyramid

One minute you’re standing on top,
And the next you’re sitting on the bottom.
But you don’t know how you got there;
You just know how much you’re hurting
By being there now…
And you know you must have hit many others
On your tumble down,
Making them hurt too.

I Could Love You...

Have you ever seen a person,
Talked to a person,
Known a person,
And thought
‘I could love them.’

Goodbye, Innocence

Desperately
Stripping away innocence
So fast
With fear and disgust.

Then standing there
Naked and humiliated,
Begging for it back,
But knowing that it’s
Lost forever.

Cat Scratches

Blood rushes through my veins,
Begging to be let out.
Slight scratches penetrate through
The surface of my skin,
Making it all the more tempting
It would look natural still;
Highlights would just be added
Is all.

You're a Participant.

How long can you resist the urge,
Let’s see.
This is all just a test,
And it’s all just a game.

Bring Me to Life

In the final moments before your death
You wish a million things for yourself that you’ll never get.

I Want You Here

I stand here, speechless, watching you walk away from me.
And when you look back at me with your begging eyes,
I just look down at the ground, ashamed.
