I decided to toss a few of my poems up on here... enjoy.
actually- they're old ones.  I've been to lazy/distracted to write lately. so... there's a good chance you've already read them. hah- and they're not all poems either.  i guess i shoulda just wrote: "I'm gonna dump a bunch of shit i wrote on here... have fun." ...well- there ya go. bear in mind, a lot of these are painfully narrative, so you'll have to suffer through the forced rhymes. but speaking of tolerating my narration- if anybody knows what my poems are about or has something interesting to say (such as CARLY- who borrowed my poem "night" for a school project and the teacher almost sent it to a lit mag... yeah- that woulda been funny.) then SAY IT! itll make me smile. ^^ oh and- this link is on my menu on the left side of my journal. w00t- i did it, and it was easy.

**please comment if you find typos/html errors or want to name my untitled pieces... otherwise they will stay as they are. you will be able to tell i changed it when i delete your comment- naming my poems: i'll give u credit. :) ty!**

    every pulse an echo of a promise faded gray
    my heart beat frays the leash made of everything you'd say
    my tears are screams i swallowed, expanding salty walls
    shattered on the ground, these tears take months to fall
    a trail of bloody footprints, the race begins to start
    the finish line, warm crimson love, still dripping from my heart.

    please wake me from my dreams
    when i see his luminated face
    my withered dignity falls to dust
    and hope now takes its place
    i dont want to remember
    my heart past due in debt
    reluctantly i offer you
    just please help me forget
    i'll burn my diary pages
    i'll scribble out my mind
    i've lost count of the moments
    i'd pray for one last lie
    i hate myself for loving you
    i'm drowning in your eyes
    i hate myself in ignorance
    believing all your lies.
    back to top

    i look around and see faces
    all of them i recognize
    i know their secrets, i know their lies
    i know my reflection in their eyes
    they know i know their laughs
    their smiles, and their fears
    i know my reflection because i shoulder all their tears.
    i know what to say because i listen with my heart
    i'm so close to you, but we're so far apart.
    back to top

    what do i want from you?
    what do you want from me?
    the image of you in my mind
    just won't let me be
    i try not to think of you
    then i try just not to think
    i feel so trapped among my thoughts
    i hope your trapped like me.
    I hope when you lie down
    tangled in your sheets
    you close your eyes and you create
    these images of me.
    and when you cannot take it
    and i can't bear it too
    opened eyes from tortured dreams
    will find me next to you.

    i weave a humble rope
    and drape it round my neck
    i climb six solemn stairs
    to take my final step
    all is in slow motion
    and now i see your face
    i hope you now already
    i have been in your place
    i know just how it feels
    to give away your heart
    and as they pull the knife back out
    you silently fall apart
    maybe i am wrong
    or you just won't admit
    you're satisfied i took the blade
    and made a painful slit
    i thought that i was right
    but you whispered in my ear
    i made things so much worse
    since she's no longer here
    all the pain i caused now
    is draped around my neck
    i didn't hear you hollar stop
    so i took my final step.
    back to top

    i really do like you
    and i like the way you make me feel
    i'd do anything you'd ask of me
    if you'd convince me that it's real.
    i don't feel this way with anyone else
    and i'm not sure that i could
    but if you don't see how i do
    then tell me why i should.
    you want us to stay a secret
    but i don't understand why
    i'll do it since you asked me to
    but i don't want to hide
    when no one else is around
    you know exactly what to say
    you would press you lips on mine
    and never pull away
    but around your friends
    you won't look me in the eye
    i'm isolated by your side
    heart twisted, hung to dry.

    silent sounds
    and empty arms
    hopeful thoughts
    you bring this harm
    force a smile
    insatiable lust
    you fill me with
    a broken trust
    you follow me
    to the end of the hall
    your talking but saying
    nothing at all
    we try to escape
    the door is locked
    this shouldn't have happened
    we shouldn't have talked
    you lead me to
    an empty room
    you lead me on
    i follow too
    victim to your
    inescapable charm
    you leave me here
    with empty arms.
    back to top

    i'm okay you walked away
    you left me here alone
    you call to find my thoughts
    i shouldn't have picked up the phone
    i don't listen when you explain
    so i pretend instead
    i can't hear you now
    you're drowned out by the things you never said
    you can turn your back
    pretend i was never here
    i'll still be your friend
    but i won't spend my tears
    don't treat me like a child though,
    don't push me down again.
    remember when i'd sit by you?
    i wasn't to young then.
    it's already behind you
    and now i drop the act
    i still want to be with you
    but i don't want you back.

    daddy's girl is happy
    outgoing, smart, and sweet
    she's always got a smile
    but emotionally, she's beat.
    she wants you all to think
    and not to compensate
    that she's got it easy
    and that her life is great
    daddy's girl is pretty
    with that shirt and matching shoes
    but that long sleeve shirt
    is to cover up the bruise.
    and those sparkling eyes
    and that flowing hair
    wasn't quite as graceful
    being dragged down all those stairs.
    when you made her laugh
    you'd be surprised to learn
    that she wasn't blushing
    it was only carpet burn.
    so when you see daddy's girl
    and she invites you with a smile,
    i bet you start to wonder
    is it really worth the while?

    no excuse to call you
    but i call you just the same
    i don't know what to say
    after asking for your name
    i stutter silent thoughts
    just to hear your voice
    i listen carefully
    for an implicative choice
    i want you to tell me
    and for it to be true
    that you feel the same as me
    cause i'm in love with you
    i want you to mean it
    when you whisper in my ear
    and i want you to think of me
    when i'm no longer here.

    i'm lying face down in a river of your love
    you're holding my head down from up above
    i feel as though i'm not alone in this light
    i see your face and it settles my fight
    i know you care, it's in your grip
    your hand comforts my neck as i start to slip
    i'm fading in your hands
    but you won't let me go
    no one notices i'm in your hands
    you won't let them know
    you'll never let them know.
    back to top

    i'm okay you left
    and i have no regrets
    i don't know if we're through
    but i know we're through for now
    in this diary of mine
    i write a fairy tale
    i write the things you did with me
    but now i just can't tell
    i don't know if we're through
    something in me hopes again
    but i can't see us anymore
    and my story has no end
    my knight in shining armor
    he never did exist
    my mind begins to idol
    but you're not here to persist
    i'm okay you left
    i wanted one more time
    one final chapter to my tale
    but now you've left, i'm fine.

    quiet is night
    lay all alone
    think of the things
    i shouldn't have shown
    sit in the dark
    heavy and dull
    you left me
    but already i'm full
    i never was empty
    too long from your time
    the time that you wasted
    it wasn't mine
    my covers are as
    warm as your arms
    they lie innocently
    with all of your charm
    my pillow is soft
    my pillow is cool
    it won't judge me
    i'm never the fool
    and now i can sleep
    without wasting my tears
    i don't worry of you
    i'm free from those fears
    back to top the only comfort you provide
    is the smile you try to hide
    the only thing that you could see
    you closed your eyes, you wanted free
    your gentle hands were never rough
    but you pulled away at my touch
    and when the words, they left my mouth
    you walked away and left me down.
    back to top

    watch me slowly suffocate
    i do it all for you
    i wait for time to stop
    my noose is tied to the end of the minute hand
    and it's almost 11.45
    every second bleeds from my eyes
    watch them fall like tear drops
    but dont be so ignorant to believe that's what they are
    because when your drowning in my blood
    you'll be begging me for my salty tears to pour in your cuts
    to heal your wounds
    to wash my blood from your memory
    and hide your memories in my tomb
    will you sleep with me
    if i lay still?
    your empty morals seeping through me like a pill
    would you hold me close
    and whisper in my ear?
    ...confessions of the sins i'd never hear
    at least now i'm patient
    i rest my head
    it's so much easier to love me
    when i'm dead.
    back to top

    any motivation i once had
    is long since faded, gone
    im left in the wake i created
    and i know this is where i belong
    underneath this water
    there's only light to see
    no more dark, suspicious stares
    no one watching me
    no one left to care
    no one left to speak
    the words that now i run from
    these words are drowning me
    all the things i said
    took so long to react
    and now that i am sorry
    you stab me in the back
    the surface of the water
    dances in the light
    i don't have to see you anymore
    and i don't have to fight
    water in my body
    waves reflected in my eyes
    the light which can't escape me
    hides me from you lies.

    late at night, the hinges creak as she eases open the door.  The room is still except for an inviting hum, floating from the hallway.  Subconscienciously drifting through the narrow path she reveals an old fashioned bath tub, outlined by softly glowing candles.  The humming approaches her from behind and tickles the zipper on her skirt.  She glances down to watch her skirt fall carelessly to the ground.  After being freed from the rest of her clothing, she slips gracefully under the mask of foam and into the water.  Its warmth envelopes her body.  She sighs gratefully as he begins to massage her.  He works his hands patiently, then gaining speed, until finally the water again is calm.  She unfolds herself from the glowing bubbles and dries h erself off.  Finally she retraces her steps through the hallway, but not before motioning for him to follow. back to top

    i take barbed wire and wrap your neck, then push you from the lefge.  I watch your eyes dialate and your body tremble. I walk down to you, never letting my eyes stray from the beautiful torment pouring through your quivering lips.  A pale shade of fear sweeps over your face as you wonder what i'll do next.  I reach up to your neck and push the wire up a little further.  With two fingers, I catch a stream of your crimson sweat and smear it across my soft lips.  I run my hand from your bloody neck to the hem of your pants, unbuttoning them slowly.  I kiss you gently, leaving perfect lip prints of your blood on your stomach.  "Goodbye," I whisper.  Your body hangs peacefully motionless.  "I promise I won't call again," I reply to the aband oned stare in your eyes. back to top

    make a rope of good intentions
    and hang me by my heart
    i should have realized long ago
    and quit before you start.
    i watch and i admire
    the grace with which you tie
    and drape the noose around my neck
    as i whisper my last desperate goodbye
    you close a door in the back of my mind
    a scarlet tear falls from my eye
    crawling down my face
    it drips onto my chest
    and to my heart to fill a void
    you left me with at best
    this feeling that you leave with me
    is wrong but i don't care
    i hate this lasting breath of hope
    that you refuse to share
    the clouds creep in like smoke
    the rain will wash away
    all the things that i believed
    from all the things you'd say
    but everytime you hear the sound
    of water rushing by
    your forced to stop and think
    you left me quietly to die.
    back to top

    i'm beside myself but i'm alone
    you can't define my life
    i'll do it on my own
    the thoughts in my head
    flow free from the lead
    my pencil is light
    the ends far from sight
    i'm just a teenager
    with stress tearing at my mind
    don't tell me why i'm wrong
    i don't care that i'm blind
    run head on into probles
    that i know i can't beat
    run head into you
    knock you off your feet
    your disappointment is apparent in your tears, leave me crumpled alone on the floor here
    2 years and 1 month and 11 short days
    freedom awaits. yeah,
    freedom awaits.
    2 years and 1 month and 11 short days
    freedom awaits. yeah,
    freedom awaits.
    get away from this Suburbia, Hell.
    i never meant to put you down
    i never meant to hurt you
    back the fuck away!
    leave me here alone
    I NEVER CALLED THIS HOME.
    2 years and 1 month and 11 short days... ...freedom awaits.

    i watch you comprimise
    (your) simple expectations
    to avoid another fight
    comprimise your whole life
    then cry yourself to sleep at night.
    i'm feeling stubborn, so I can't see your misty eyes
    i turn up the music and i don't even try
    i never meant to live like this!
    what happened to us?
    someday i'll save this relationship
    but i'm much to tired now.
    ...to tired of the same routine (to change)
    the engergy escapes me,
    but never my pride.
    **struck down at the knees,
    and i'm yours my dear
    do with me what you please
    abandon my pride,
    i guess now it's time
    so i'm yours, my dear, i'm yours.
    struck down at the knees
    i'm yours my dear, do what you please**
    we always comprimise our lives. we always comprimise.

    ((**=part i like... i wrote the poem- to have a place to put that. the rest is just < meh > filler.))

    breathing heavy because i can't feel
    the breath that fills my lungs
    i can't hear you screaming
    through the music
    ((it's so loud)) x3
    and i can kick and scream in
    your arms because you can't hold
    me down ((you won't hold me down))
    i will tear into you and
    your flesh will fall
    [spoken: and you will be exposed]
    i'll come to myself and realize
    i must be admired from somebody's eyes
    i see you in the distance
    i watched as you fell
    i'm sure you're admired in your
    own personal hell

    ...and your left with everything you never
    learned lying there on the ground...
