I feel our heart beats through our intertwined hands
And melt into your addicting warmth
As though I have no control.
Your fingers prod into my heart,
And though the sensation is so unfamiliar
And ordinarily uncomfortable,
I allow my world to go hazy,
And forget that I cannot have you.
I allow myself to simply enjoy the sensation
Of my strangled heart in your palms,
Where, maybe, I can take refuge for a while.

Your lover is who I see
When I become lost in the untold story behind your gaze
Because I am only imagining how you are picturing her
When the only thing before your eyes is me.
I am here now.
Claims of your so

Broken Marbles

He says he's always there at the edge of this cliff looking down at broken marbles that have slashed and ripped his skin once before. We both stand gazing at the past that he reflects in the darkness before our eyes. It's then that I realize I was standing in this same place when he fell, considering whether or not to jump myself. But I didn't see him disappear into this formidable, gaping hole. I just know I was at the edge of it when shattered glass pierced his body.

I wish I could've been there to catch him, or so I could've jumped after him, so he'd at least be in good company. Then maybe we'd've met before, when he needed someone to hel

Lost In LifeI don't need a map,
As long as I can get to you and back.

Watching Me DrownMy heart sinks and it drags me down slow
Drowning, nothing to hold onto but hope
I try not to fade, try to be brave

You say you're sick of watching me drown
But I'm too weak to go anywhere but down
And you say I have no reason to weep
But no one's reaching to pull me from the deep

This gaping wound you've left on my heart
Leaves me with no hope to escape the sharks
Trying to breathe, trying to leave

You say you're sick of watching me drown
But I'm too weak to go anywhere but down
And you say I have no reason to weep
But no one's reaching to pull me from the deep

The tide is rising higher
Can't keep my head above
I've stopped t

I StandHere I stand, lost and alone
there may be shelter here,
but I'll never know a home

Wander now
find a way,
make it to another day

Constant screams
and too tight spaces,
trapped between these different places

Wander now
find a way,
make it to another day

Lack of sleep
and mounds of stress
leaving me a fragile mess

Wander now
find a way,
make it to another day

Living in this battered shell
I created my own hell
a personality dysfunction
caused my life's interruption
the queen of disrespect
a master of foul dialect

Wander now
find a way,
make it to another day

Maturity at just sixteen
but without a choice
when did I l

what I wantI want someone
Who will fall asleep thinking of me
And I can always be with them in their dreams

Someone proud to call me theirs
Whether a boy, girl
Or anything in between

Someone who will catch me
When I start to fall apart
Right when I need it

Love me exactly as I am
Because I'll do the same for you
Since I don't expect you to be anything but yourself

Shows the little signs they care
Whether it's through texts, candy
Or stringing silly little words together like I do

Love me at my best
When my smile shines
Brighter than the sun

And my worst
When tears fall faster
Than raindrops off a roof

You also have to like
cuddlin

Not SatisfiedBlood on my wrists.
Tears in my eyes.
Can't you tell
I'm not satisfied?

Wanting youI sit here under this beautiful sky
My wandering heart unshackled and free
I close my red and tired eyes
And you my darling are all I see

I sit here under this beautiful sky
Wishing I could feel your hand
Our touch would speak of endless love
We wouldn't need words to understand

I sit here under this beautiful sky
Yearning and longing to kiss your lips
Angelic love would fill my soul
As my face you touch with your fingertips

I sit here under this beautiful sky
Of this worlds sad chains I wish we were free
To make the sweetest love with you
What more wondrous delight could ever be

I sit here under this beautiful sky
Wanting gi

Can't sleepCan't sleep
the words will eat me...
Faded and fainting
heart racing but straining
Apparently I'm an anomaly
to be studied.. or dissected..

I didn't ask to be born this way
Didn't want it, but am just the same
What do you do when the very beating of your heart
causes strange occurrences inside
When the blood you create is so different
There's no words for why?

Can't sleep
the words consume me..
A simple trip routine checkup
turns odd, strange, abnormal
more questions, no answers

Can't sleep
the doctors are vampires?
Always drawing more blood for tests
Which lead to questions but not answers

I'm not sick, just an anomaly

Accusation

I doubt you'd still claim I lied
If you had seen the way I cried.

Already GoneI guess I was wrong
and disillusioned

So tell me
Will this cut
be enough for you?
will it hurt you like it hurt me?

Perhaps now you will see
the truth
as I lie here
my breath fading

Take it from me
it's not so easy
to live with your hate
your silent lies

maybe you'll learn
as you taste my blood
to look beyond yourself
to know pain is alive

don't forget me
maybe you already have
all I know is
I'll be free from you this night.

My ReplyForever
Is what you said.
I can't live without you.
I'll keep you safe.
You promised.
Forever undone.

Keeping My Heart BeatingDeep inside my thoughts,
a worry begins to grow,
and eat away at all my hope.
Someday you will see,
exactly what you've done to me;
it won't be much longer
until I explode.

Every minute of every day,
this is what goes through my mind,
playing in the background
of every single memory,
and every single dream
of what I know in my heart
should someday be reality.

I love you.
I need you.
To be there
To care.
Please.
Someday soon,
notice my screams.
Hear me out.

Every minute of every day,
you take over my mind,
and my heart sinks every time
I see you, hugging her,
knowing she doesn't even really
care for you at all.

I Need YouWhen I feel like nothing's going right,
I can think of that one moment,
when my whole world was perfect,
because my whole world was you.

I need you.

I need your hugs,
to make me feel warm and safe.
I need your smile,
to remind me not every smile has to be fake.

I need you.

I need to know that someone cares.
And I would give it all
to have that someone be you.

I need you.

I need you to know
how much of me is yours.
I need you to understand
just how much you mean to me.
You are my whole world,
I need you here,
I need you now.
I need you.

I...Why is so hard to say?
I can tell you I love you.
I can tell you I miss you.
I can tell you how much it's killing me not to talk to you.
But why can't I say it?
Why does it seem so degrading?
Almost embarrassing.
I...
I can't say it.
It's driving me mad.
I can't think straight.
I get distracted.
And it's because...
I...
I need you.

Unrecognizable

I told them I hated you -
Because I should,
For everything you've done to me.

I drew marks of anger
And hate around your picture,
Yet I couldn't get myself
To ruin the image of your face.
The face I knew so well.

My friends saw
And encouraged me to do more,
So I scratched red gashes across your face.
But I could still see your eyes,
Behind those bloody marks.
You were still recognizable to me
As who I had known.

My friends held out their hands
For the utensil
With its leaking ink,
So that they could do some damage too.

They covered you,
And hated you,
Like they believed I hated you,
And when they handed you back to me

Just Tell Me

Hey, tell me. I'm curious.

Does happiness matter here?

If I was the happiest person in the world, would you be happy for me? Would you be able to ignore the reason?

Is it a good enough excuse? A good enough reason?

Or is there just something wrong with me? Something that's whacking up my brain, my mind.

I'm afraid to tell you, tell anyone. Tell them why I can go, and walk along side them – grinning as if there wasn't a care in the world.

Because I'm afraid. Of you. Everyone, and anyone else. Afraid that you'll look down on me, and tell me how wrong it all is. And tell me how the reason isn't good enough.

And then, I can stand alon

Remember What We Lost?

Do you remember? At all?
Do you remember that one day? The wind blowing? Out behind your house?
We stood. We talked. You told me things.
Unimportant things.
Not that it mattered. Just the fact that we did.
We could laugh, and listen, and tell, and I remember.
I remember what love meant for me then.
And how that changed, until it destroyed anything I had had.
It's all gone now.

Love Sick

by *signed-silence, May 3, 2011, 11:39:18 PM
Literature / Poetry / Romantic / Teen / Free Verse

I'm addicted to you.
This fantasy would perhaps
Exist more easily,
And bear less on my aching mind,
Were it you were not so un-faulty.

I cannot stop myself
Casting a glance,
Sometimes met
With eyes unrevealing,
Your sought presence in a dream
On a sweet, cool night.

I blame myself.

Wrong and cruel, it seems.
One can put themselves in such vulnerability,
With their heart in my hands,
Cherished so little,
While I long for the embrace
And loveless torment of another.
As long as I may be permitted
To gaze into a face so gorgeous.

Crush my heart,
Allow appreciation
Of my current prize.
Then, at least,
My heart would not suffer
The anguish caused by you.
Might an apathetic relation
Be preferred over one
Where I might endure such indifference?

Were you capable of caring,
Would you earnestly tolerate my agonizing? -
Would you passively watch my detached interactions,
My counterfeits of love?

Would you succumb to that notion
Wherein I might be perfect for you?

No.
Only I could be so delusional.
Perturbed and demented by this love sick.

Writing pieces that blossom from late nights (a.k.a. 3:00 AM) when I'm trying to finish a project I've neglected the entire trimester. I'd appreciate any feedback anyone has for me. I generally am not as descriptive as I was in writing this poem. Questions: Do you like the way this is written? Does the tone fit the theme well? Were verses and stanzas organized well?

Thank you so much for all the support!

I can absolutely relate to such a beautiful poem that speaks such an unbearable truth......... Wonderful job.

~tokiofalloutgirl Mar 11, 2012 Student Writer

At first I thought this was going to be another annoying, cliched, and overused poem. But it's not! It's terrific!! (:
I love the way it's written, the tone fits the theme perfectly, and the verses ans stanzas were well organized! Great job! Keep it up!

My chest is hurting; pounding at the seams~
Because your poetry here is really something else~

As I read the verses, I could see it figuratively; like a dream~
It felt as if you traveled deep inside me; and touched my inner self~

(AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!)

(You wrote a poem JFDIODKLF! Excellent job!)

heart breaking but beautifully written. Very nice

~Dead-Genre-Revival Jan 13, 2012

Laney, I know how you feel about me.
It's only natural.
I am quite handsome and certainly un-faulty.
The problem is, I'm not real.
But this is how I want you to remember me.
