I've always been holding you a little too tight
never letting you go without a fight.
in the dark, searching for my stolen light
you're the reason I lie awake at night
You know when you wake up, those dreams you get?
try so hard to remember, but always seem to forget
that good feeling you're left with, wasn't even that long
here for a minute and in a moment it's gone
leaving you tossing and turning, filled with vague memories
sleepless nights figuring out real and make-believe
it's just like that, I really can't see
what makes you come back, could it be me?
I ain't nothing too special, I know that for sure
but you're my guardian
Many say that people look peaceful in death. Beautiful, serene, angelic, calm. A plethora of lovely words that, in my opinion, arent at all accurate. One simply uses one of these words to lighten up the fact that what the word is describing is "dead". No longer among the living. In a "better place". But there is no way that the body in front of me looked peaceful. Fake, maybe. Forced. Stiff. Unnatural. Peaceful? Not a chance.
Heaven, Paradise, whatever you want to call it, all I know is that she's not here anymore.
After the initial news was heard, a fluid discussion erupted, consolations were muttered, and the small living room was f
Even in a position where your life feels so obscure, at one moment, as if by some kind of forbidden fairytale enchantment, a person appears in your life and suddenly makes everything feel better than it once was. And whats frightening about it is that it didnt happen gradually. All at once, new, extraordinary epiphanies come rushing into your head, leaving your fingers tingling with a magical wonder. Youre filled with so much passion; you cant help but radiate a smile, beaming at the sulky, craven faces of those who have not yet reached your enlightenment.
Alas, if only I could realize what everyone else seems to alre
you won the battle of my heart the moment i saw you.
the duel was only to reconfirm what i already knew.
until you wore the token of another
you galloped around the ring upon your noble steed
the crowds were chanting her name, but then you left.
and my hopes for a savior were dashed
Now you reappear again, my knight in shining armor
She keeps hidden away, only talking when she needs to. Always deep in thought about things she thinks no one will understand. Afraid to be given the label shes already given herself.
To escape her complex life she listens to her music, which is why her iPod is always with her. She likes the way it feels in her hand, hundreds of songs, of emotions, at her fingertips. She scrolls down and finds a song that she thinks reflects her life and listens to it on repeat for hours, just to know that shes the same as someone. So she knows shes not alone.
I have nothing left within me
in place of tears, blood flows from my eyes
pouring out from the bleeding heart you make of me
mimicking the every movement of your bleak black lies
The chains spring up, twisted vines come alive
passing through their inanimate boundaries
bonding them to the earth, tugging and pulling down further
despite the agonizing shrieks and groans, the voices echo,
screaming out relentlessly to the world of the living
speaking from the graveyard of the broken hearts
plummeting into an abyss, when the world crashes down around them
my eyes have glazed over.
focusing too hard on
something too small.
my entire life
absorbed into
that little detail
opening a dirty window
look out to the world
from an opening in the
rusting metal room that
has always been
so strong, impenatrable
the rust, like a parasite
has eaten away at
the tough shiny exterior
in which the pride resided
leaving irregular fractures
for confidence to leak out
Gargoyles stare intensely into the distance, mutely guarding the ancient church from long dead enemies. I put my hand on the splintery, cracked wooden door. Pushing it slightly, the decrepit door gave a ghostly sigh and creaked open. As I stepped in, I took a breath and instantly chocked on the stale air and pungent, stinging odor of rotted flesh emanating from the catacombs in the far-left corner. Stagnant puddles of water remained, gathering in the crevice of the ancient stone floor from previous years of flooding. Cobwebs were hanging from every corner of the long forgotten church. Maybe it was the trick of the light, but a shadow darted a

Why do I do this to myself?
Why do I do this to myself?
I know youll never feel the way I do about you
But I cant change the way I feel and nothing ever will
people say: You cant get over the first true love
and so far theyre right but I want to prove them wrong.
I force myself to do some things
I have never done before
just to keep my mind off you
feel the rush of adrenaline
cuz every time you get in my head
makes me wish I were dead
makes me want to sit and cry
because youre not here with me
People wont leave me alone
They keep asking me why
Im writing so many songs
What in my life is going wrong?
I remember the day you left
as if it were yesterday
only a simple good-bye
I didnt want to let you go
I wasnt ready
but I still watched you walk away
not looking back once
I guess thats ok
didnt want you to see my cry anyways
What kills me the most
was that simple good-bye
I dont know why
mustve been crazy, out of my mind
I didnt tell you earlier not to go
Im so sorry, now Im too late
and this is all I can do to compensate
The only thing we know about life
Is that things dont always go as planned
I wish I had a little more time
to tell you everything
in a way y
Droplets need to be drawn, tempted out of the clouds, one drip at a time.

My heart aches as you stand next to me
I put my arms around you and let go,
lingering a touch, a moment too long,
as my pulse pounds and skips a beat
You put up a tough exterior, but I know.
You say you've matured quickly, but I know.
I know that you could crumble and shatter
into a million peices with just a nudge
So I hold you tight, and I hold you close,
careful not to squeeze too hard because you're so fragile.
I exhale as you lean your head on my shoulder,
Tip
I was looking forward to seeing you the entire weekend. I was looking for you this morning, but you weren't there. You caught me by surprise as I waited at your classroom door. Hearing your voice, I turned around, and suddenly, I couldn't bear to be in your presence for a second longer. My smile evaporated and I took one last glance at you and walked away, my books clutched to my chest.
As I walked down the hallway, my whole body shook and I could feel the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. I was shaking, shaking with an uncontrollable anger.
Reflecting on it now, I have come to the conclusion that I'm mad at myself. How could I let

Part 1: Little Girl -Bubbles
"Mommy, mommy look! Look at me mommy!"
The little girl squealed with delight, sitting in the tub with a tower of bubbles on her head. ...the tub that she filled with hot water; the tub that she filled with foam. The tub that she sat alone in, all the time.
Either mommy never came or was too late and all the bubbles would pop or fall, and the little girl would be left with nothing to hold on to. Hands empty, crestfallen, sitting in the tub that she prepared, enjoyed, and emptied. It would make her sad because she couldn't share what brought her the most sense of accomplishment and made her most happy with the person that meant the most to he
"momma... mama?"
She innocently wondered why mommy never came. Was it her fault?
The little girl never gave up hope and always wished mommy would come.
and then unevitably, the little girl grew up.
The teenager doesn't bother reaching out anymore because her mother was always too busy and never gave her the slightest glance.
The teenager concluded that is was her fault because she wasnt good enough to deserve getting noticed. As a result, she tried again and again to be better than what she was. Deep within, a familiar voice kept feeding her not good enough. She always got As, did her homework, did well on tests,
It hit me then, a wave a realization washed over me. Theres no point of missing you any longer. Whenever I said that I missed you, you always said that you missed me too Theres really nothing left to miss anymore. All that I have left to hold on to are my memories and words. and I think they need to be replaced by something new.
A little girl, just a kid, stumbles, trying to walk. She falls and can't stand back up. There's no one offering a hand to help her onto her feet. People pass by, some ignoring her completely, most giving pitied glances, then scurrying away incase she starts crying and attention is drawn to them. A few give words of encouragement and advice, staying only for a little while. But nobody thinks that she really does need help, No one gives her their hand to pull her up.
With a flick of a wrist, a pebble is whipped through the air, skipping on the surface of the water, bouncing carefree. Slowly, it loses momentum and sinks to the bottom. Waves ripple, circles enlarging, fading further out, disturbing the smooth glass reflection.
The sole droplet plummeting down in the midst of the chaotic clashing tides, fusing into one with the masses, no longer determined as a single unit.
The dispersion of the currents attenuate until they die away completely. The smooth glass reflection returns as if nothing happenned.

head pounding. eyes watering. every muscle burning.
Yet still, we all carry the burdens of the past and present. You must not let those weights crush you. Despite of the times when you think you can go no further, on your knees, begging for it all to end, no matter the cost; there is still an unexplainable force that beckons us to it, giving us strength and the will to stand up and move on. Even when we can't remember why we keep going, that same force pushes and pushes, and eventually, it all comes back. Perhaps the future will alleviate us from our troubles. If not, there is always an end.
Trying to find my reflection, I look in the mirror, but the glass shatters onto the floor. I get down to my knees, scrambling to put the pieces back together. The floor is cold. and hard. The glass easily slices through my hands, knees, and fingertips, imbedding shards beneath my skin, but I still continue. At last, I am finished putting back together the pieces that were on the floor. I look upon my image, but it is incomplete, many pieces still missing.
Looking at the bloody mess, I realize if I ever want to see myself complete, I would have to dig out every little sliver: a painful procedure. Though small, they are as equally significant
There's nothing wrong with being emo. What I hate are the people who think that they (some of the emo's) want to cut themselves b/c they want to die and then follow up by saying to them that if they want to die so bad, why dont they just commit suicide and call them cowards.
Perhaps people should be more accepting and try to understand the situation before calling them names and telling them to go to hell and jump off a building. Sure, "emo" is a stereotype, but each "emo" still is an individual. Everyone deals with problems differently and shouldnt we accept people the way they are instead of stereotyping them? It only makes everything wor

All I have to offer is a broken heart, crudely sewn back together with fine string that is much too thin to hold together something so big and so shattered.
I can't say that it won't fall apart, but if you'll just reach out your hand and take it, you can have it.
