some of my favorite poems...
In the darkness I can never see what stares back at me, and for that I am eternally grateful. My anger and sorrow are the only things there. Their mocking eyes dig deep within my mind. They burn through my heart and light up my sky.
And I had thought I could get away from this. Simple words spoken, I thought could cure. But unwilling ears to listen made it all obscure. I feel like I've let you down. The life I see in front of me, just doesn't seem real anymore. And not knowing if I'd ever see you again, is the worse feeling I've felt.
I've been told that you don't care. I've been told that you don't deserve me. But I find myself wishing you'd be there.
I loved you then and I love you now, but the scariest thought, is that I'll love you forever. Even though forever is gone.
So I'll turn on the light and face my anger and sorrow. I'll push them aside and try to move by. I'll wipe the tears that drown my eyes and create a new heart. I'll get by, even if I have to bury my soul.
I'm standing in the rain Its washing this pain away The rain makes me weak But I feel so alive
The pain is finally gone Until the rain stops Then the pain comes back But the hurting is worse
I wish the rain could drown this pain Take it away Cause its killing me If its not one thing its another
When it rains I go outside Just to feel it on my skin It makes me feel alive And it takes away this pain
And I can cry cause I know no one can see Over and over again I wish that I could fly away Fly away to another day Another day where this pain isn't here.
It's so cold down here Far beneath the ground I recalled your tender words The day my corpse was found
You had said I looked different Like someone stole the light from my eyes You had said love was a gun You loved me most the day I died
Remembering how glad I was To see your face again Sadly staring down at me Reaching into the water
Your touch was so warm If only I could fill myself with it Untying the rope, you set me free How long I've waited... I just want to go home
Released, you of emotional ties Betrayed, I never again shall be Torn away into eternal darkness Undertow wrested me helplessly downward
Punished me for a mile or more I washed upon a distant shore Springs fresh air invited decay Eventually somebody came... to take me home
All the things you were to me My love, my light, my misery Bathing myself in the comfort of memories Despairs still long-lived, even after life
Now, it's so cold down here Far beneath the ground I am dead on the outside, but still dying inside Fortitude in you, is my relentless love
I see a sad girl sitting all alone Clutching tightly to the phone I see her longing for a love that has gone away Her eyes tear remembering when she asked him to stay Her tears fall to the floor As her mind goes back once more This lonely girl is broken hearted Because half of her soul has parted And then finally I see The lonely, little girl is me
