Sestina

The tears that have fallen
From my eyes only fall at Night
When I can breathe
And walk down the Block
Just to find somewhere to stay
For the time being until tomorrow I must leave

I have to leave
These people before I Fall
For their acts to make me Stay
Even if it is only for the Night
I have to Block
Every word they say so I can breathe

I have to catch my Breath
They just need to leave
So I don’t have to Block
Myself into this Fallen
City during the Night
They cannot force me to stay

Why should I have to stay?
They smother me with every breath
They take. Every night
That I lie awake they just need to leave
Me alone before they realize that im not fallen
For their acts anymore and I ran away down my block

I refuse to be blocked
By them so that I will stay
I know I am fallen
But that is no reason to cut off my air supply so that I can’t breathe
I have to leave
Soon so I can find my shining knight

He will let me Stay
So he can Block
All the evil things away from me until I feel that it is safe to Leave
Or maybe he will let me stay
Forever or at least until I feel I can Breathe
Hopefully by the time im ready the world around me will not have already Fallen

I have found my fallen dark knight
He helps me to breathe and blocks
Out the rest of the world so we can Stay until one day we are ready to leave

I Think...

Torn apart
Have to decide
Whether to stay
Or whether to go
I think...

Dad-
Controlling, judgmental, annoying
Mom-
Pressureing, fearful, oblivious
I think...

Torn apart
Have to decide
Whether to stay
Or whether to go
I think...

The pressure is endless
The time is limited
The descisions are mine
The consequeces are everyones
I think...

Torn apart
Have to decide
Whether to stay
Or whether to go
I think...

Family

Family.
Six letters
Several different meanings
To some it is:
Unity
Love
Trust and
Caring
But to others
It is:
Hatred
Regret
Sorrow and
Broken
How is it that such a wonderful thing
Turn into such a distructable thing
In only a matter of months?
I dont understand it anymore
Family
Six letters
Several different meanings

Connected at the Hand. Always Together. Never Apart.

Connected at the hand
Always together
Never apart
If someone had to find me they went to you
And if someone had to find you they came to me
Those were the good days
The days where absolutely nothing mattered to me
Except you
You were the one thing in this world that I could count on
If I was upset I could count on you to help
No matter what time it was in the day or night
We were so compatible
We got along better than most
Sure, we had our arguments but nothing could keep me from loving you like I did
You were my everything and my nothing all packed into one
You were the one that kept me from making bad choices
And if I made them anyways you never got mad
We lasted so long but yet not long enough
You will forever be my first
My first love
My heart wrenching, mushy, true first love
And no one will ever be able to take that from you
Many have tried but I push them away
Because I dont want them, I want you and only you
I know it was me who made the mistake
I know it was me who said goodbye
And I know it was me who said that our love had ended
But it was you who believed me even when I had tears in my eyes
Saying that I still loved you
I guess I will never get over you
Because every time I see you I want to cry
Every time I hear your voice I cant help but listen
And every time I see you with her I cant help but stare
Just wishing that I wouldnt have done what I did
Because if I hadnt I wouldnt have to miss you this badly
It hurts so much
But I can never have you, ever again
Connected at the hand
Always together
Never apart

Temptation

I see you
And I am immediately tempted
Tempted to kiss you
Tempted to hold you
Tempted to love you

You see me
And immediately you are tempted
Tempted to kiss me
Tempted to hold me
Tempted to love me

All the temptations in this world
Can only lead to up to regret and sorrow
So instead of letting it get the best of you
Don’t give in and don’t be tempted to follow

Merry-Go-Round

Circling, spinning
Not seeing things for what they really are
This is a merry-go-round
The word merry is supposed to bring happy thoughts
Instead, all that clogs my head
Is vomiting, getting thrown off,
And the insane dizziness meant as the after effect
This contraption should not be known as a
Merry-go-round, but a torture wheel on an axel
Circling, spinning
Not seeing things for what they really are

G.H.O.S.T.S.

Greedy, malicious, evil
Haunting the weak and torturing the small
Old, young, any age
Staring steadily at you as you enter their presence
Tantalizing you with every breath you take and inch you move
Screaming at you to leave

And Then I Walked Away

I saw you today
You saw me too
And then you walked away

I made you a heart out of clay
You broke it, not having a clue
But you just took it away

I meant it today
When I said I love you
And then you walked away

All I wanted was for you to stay
After devoting my life to you
But you just took it away

You aren’t worth it anyway
You just tore me in two
And then you walked away

Then you told me to stay
And I rejected you
There is nothing more to say
And then I walked away.

Blank Sheet of Paper

Blank sheet of paper
In my eyes you are nothing but evil
You consume and mock me
As I sit in my desk trying to think you stare at me as if you know you shall win
As I think I look at you trying to envision something upon your lines
But every time it turns into you laughing back at me in disbelief that I cannot create some beautiful artwork on you as the person beside me has done
Oh, I hate you blank sheet of paper as you sit there and stare as I think about what would look best on you I cant see to find anything that would add up to your beauty
Maybe I should just dispose of you and use your brother for my art
Maybe he will encourage me to create beautiful things upon his gorgeous lines
Maybe he will even tell me how good I am
That is the kind of paper I wish you to be, but no
You sit on that desk and torture me
Although I know it would be best for me
I cannot bring myself to leave you
For you are my friend, enemy, heart, and soul
You make me enraged but somehow enthused for when I have an idea you are there for me even when I am alone...
Dear dear piece of paper you are wearing thin and I don’t know how much I can keep you before you crumble
I am sorry dear old friend but your time has ended…

The Ladder

There is a ladder
A ladder that only I know how to climb
There is a ladder
A ladder that will help me find peace of mind
There is a ladder
A ladder that leads to the most wondrous place
There is a ladder
A ladder that I choose to fight for and chase
There is a ladder
A ladder that will help you up when you fall
There is a ladder
A ladder that will never ever forget to call
There is a ladder
A ladder that doesn’t play games
There is a ladder
A ladder with a face and a name
