Pressure

Fragile
Frail

Breaking
Busting

Shattering
Scratching

Clawing on the inside to get out

Rattling breath
Clenched fists
And lowered eyes

Just ignore the tears
Hold your breath
And wait for death

Here it is,
Come and already leaving

FamilyFamily...

My moms gone now, most of the time
And that's alright
I don't need her

My dad's in trouble, and he'll be leaving soon
He hasn't been here much
But he was here enough to miss
And I'll miss him even more

My brother didn't care enough to stay
My sister only cared long enough for the money to run out
My little brother cares as long as you give him anything he wants
And my little sister was taken away

What is family for?
Something to lean on until you have enough strength to get up yourself?
Something to be ashamed of?
Something to fend off because they only want to use you?

I choose my family now
Though some of them still leave
It

Winter Is ComingWinters glory fading fast
Written stories of the past
Following close behind
The human races mass decline

Face reflected in a broken mirror
Pools of blood on the floor
Knives stuck in a best friends heart
We were all dead from the start

Dirt and ash, blood and rain
Deciphering a face of pain
Who wants a traitor for a friend
Those of us who want the end

Blast the days and smash the smiles
Hold my hand just for a while
This is how our story is forgotten
Gone- Gone with the wind

DadJust look up
And see the tall shadow that used to be there
He was so much taller than you then
Because you were small
And his hand doubled yours
Swallowed it up as it held yours

You were nothing but smiles, a smile that matched his
Nothing but care free innocence
Missing him and crying when you couldn't catch up to him
Watching his broad shoulders and back

But he was always there
A never changing thing
A thing that should always be there
A thing you can lean on
A sturdy built tower
With just a few cracks in the foundation
But those can be fixed with time, or don't need it at all

Don't forget the long talks and the stories
Hold onto the mem

Sudden UrgesReach into the basket of life
And pull out a rusty knife
Run it through the fire
Burning until you tire

Take a bite of bloody essence
Breathing in the smoking incense
Drinking up the murky lies
Choking on a poisonous high

Wrap your body in a cloak of darkness
Open your sown mouth to confess
Rip the stitches one by one
Letting words flow until they're done

Your body is cold
Comprised of ice and stone
Your soul is gone already
Lacking it has made you deadly

Heart so big and bleeding
Caged and captured, never fleeing
Barbed wire wrapping round and round
A keyhole, with no key to be found

A mind full of thoughtless voices
Flinging out so man

Adelaid's PoemNo longer waiting
Going ahead
Or staying Behind
Acting as if each other is dead

Blasting your ear drums
Not caring if its temporary
Or long term
One foot already buried

A wall between us
A blockade to keep us apart
Others between us
Shadows on my heart

Wielding a blade of silver
Cutting the cob webs away
Slashing and turning red
Black is the light of day

Across the Sea of AgonyWater, cold, cold water
Slipping through bloodless fingers
Fingers lacking strength to grip
No energy left to swim to the shore
Of this sea, endless sea

No boats for miles around
No whales to sing their mournful song
No dolphins to hitch a ride on
No sea turtles of legend to save you

Cold brine, salty liquid mingling with tears
Tears form the eyes of the lost
The dark, lifeless eyes of the unknown and forgotten
Tears and sea water, oceans deep full of pain
Oceans full of bones and bottom feeders

Washed up and drowning
Dunked and held under, thrashing
Fighting the sea gods and resisting the current
Wave after crashing wave over your head
Sc

Porcelain DeathA face once pretty, made of porcelain and paint
Now cracked, broken and faded

Skin that was fair as virgin snow
Gray and dirtied with time and abuse

Silky dark hair, flowing in smooth tumbles
Now brittle and dull, dead and unkempt

A beautiful body with arms and legs attached
Laid out in perfect order, no blemishes to be found
Are now smashed and detached

The strings that used to provide movement
Are now cut, leaving a broken useless doll

A shadow of beauty that once was

Blue Skies a Callin'It doesn't seem as though you'd die,
If I spread my wings and fly.

I won't fly far,
Just beyond the window, into the yard.

You can still watch me as I soar,
And you can tell me if your heart wants more.

But now my wings chafe to fly,
And my tongue wishes to say goodbye.

Won't you give me this time as a dove,
To make up your mind on our broken love.

Darkened Love: Purity at its FinestAn illusion that I thought up
That wasn't really real
But thoughts are never enough
To make me actually feel

Maybe I don't want to die
Maybe I don't want to leave
But it would be a lie
If I said I wanted to be free

I wish I had some pretty wings
White and pure as hell
I wish I could take care of my things
Or have nice stories to tell

But when I think of this
And everything we have
I want to raise my fist
And take a lucky stab

I want to raise my head
And my wings of flight
Painting the world red
As I dream through the night

Rewritten LoveWords that don't make sense
Words that hurt my mind
Words that shouldn't be there
Words that are never there at the right time

I'm losing it
But I'm gaining some too
Who needs me here
When I'm down and blue

My head hurts
And I'm sleep deprived
I hate food
And sometimes I want to die

But I love you
And you seem to love me too
So just stay here by my side
So that I don't have to cry

Give Me A ReasonHow do you really know me, when I don't know myself?
How do you fix me, when I can't fix myself?

How do you step forward? Can you teach me how?
Can you teach me how to want to step forward?
Can you give me a reason, a good enough reason
Give me a reason to want to step forward

Give me a floor to walk on
Into a room full of light
Not harsh light
But sweet, dim light
That won't hurt my eyes

Give me nice decorations in the room
Give me something pretty to look forward to as I take the new steps
Then turn and lock the doors of the room
Tell me the only way I can get out is if I go forward

Then take my hand
Take it and intertwine our fingers
S

Darkened Love : Unasked QuestionsFall to your knees when there's nothing left
All you want to do is cry
Lifting your hand to wipe your eyes
But fingers come away bone dry

There are no tears left
There are no tears here
This time you know that death is near
Feel the weight of the reapers leer

Unasked questions on your lips
Words fluttering in and out like birds
Wings flapping with too much time
Given too much hurt

Is that a ghosts hand on your shoulder
Can you breathe in the rot and decay
You know your time is almost over
And this is the last thing you will ever say

Open your mouth and utter the phrase
Tell them what you always meant to say
You have until the sun closes

Darkened Love: Tainted HeartsSince the very first day
We belonged together
There's no one else in this play
No one else could be better

Your hand fits into mine perfectly
You called my name and I called yours
You are mine can't you see
You have no reason for those other whores

Don't you see the danger in my eyes
Don't you feel the dark presence around us
You don't need those others guys
Especially if they get run over by a bus

I pledge my soul to yours
I swear to you that you belong to me
I won't walk through anyone else's doors
And I promise that you can't leave

So tell them all goodbye
As I'm sharpening up my blade
If you don't want them all to die
Make sure you do

Monstrous PainBlack eyes look out a darkened window
Moonlight falling in to pierce the darkness
My heart beat flits with a stirring in my soul
I haven't felt this way in centuries I must confess

I glance back to look into my mirror
Its been cracked for some time
But I can still see myself clear
Even if I wish I were blind

Curling horns nestled in black tumbling hair
Sharp glinting teeth and claws to match
A body made to scare
Since the day I came forth and hatched

This is the thing I will always be
The being that attacks and kills
Something that screams "Stay away from me"
Something that will send you running for the hills

I sit down in my chair and ta

My Own Hell

by ~Shikyo-Uchiha, Feb 3, 2013, 5:59:49 PM
Literature / Poetry / Emotional / Free Verse

I think of ways
To waste away
With this time left unpaid

I sit and reflect
On the breath in my chest
And the words left unsaid

I rot and writhe in darkness
My heart helpless and a mess
Filled with this sick unrest

I look up and see nothing
I look inside and see worse than nothing
I watch the lies and hear the sighs

The lonely breaths of emptiness
Into an empty world only I know
The one I created for myself

You may breach the castle walls
But the stone will never crumble
And the fortress will never fall

Who hears the cries of a helpless child
Who hears the cracking of a broken heart
Who hears the death of a dying smile

Watch the words twist in agony
Writhing upon the cold hard ground
Burning to ash like paper set to flame

A dead world unknown to others
Wrapped in words of hurt
And fires that burn forever

The plains of Hell never looked so heavenly
