Teen Luv sucks

I was promised a kiss,
a smooch I got.
I was promised a love,
was it not?
But I'm just a teen,
he's just a boy,
who wants a girls pants,
out on the floor.
But why chase me?
Until my heart begged,
why look at me,
with such longing,
why come for me,
when I said 'no'
why let me fall.
Oh, I fell.
Tumbling into abyss,
dying in those eyes,
loving every teasing move,
every look he gave.
And then it was gone,
in an instant.
Teen Love.
Fake, unreal.
a heart shattered to the floor.
ripped up and bleeding.
Teen Love sucks.

~ Those Words ~

Those words you said
Hit me so hard
My mind went blank
I lived a life filled of lies
For so damn long
You never loved me at all
Why didn't I see?

I was destroyed after that
I fell from the cloud
I flew on so long
And you just pushed me down
You crushed my dreams of our future together
Nothing will ever make me feel better
I'm broken, with your goodbye
From a love that was a lie

Let me die!
Let me cry!
Without you I have no life 
You were my everything
While I was your nothing
You said you would love me forever
But now we aren't together

Those repeat in my mind Everyday
Nothing can get me up
Not even the morning sun
Those words fucked up my heart

be me who I may
i'm nothing but whats left
these hollow spaces
live like scars
on my face
like dug out trenches
seep out liquid
be my best friend
cherished resin
fill them in
let it dry
let it chap
let them stare
let them see
let them hate
let me be

what i am

Times Like These.
Times like these come to me,
pain like this flinches,
I get to cry,
and tears drip from me,
I shed and soak,
until I can't hold it.
And can only wail,
shake and get sick.
I try to let go,
the events, the memories,
and the pain.
I get to hate life,
and all that it brings.
Cause when the pain comes,
happy times, moments n memories vanish.
To the thin air.
Thats what I breath,
and the ashes of the lost souls.
Times like these n pain like this.
Make a life dreadful.

(Not Again)

Why does this have to happen

I thought it was over

Done for good

But no of course its not

I see a thing

A thing of his and i just start crying

I break down I shake like crazy

I cant handle this

I want it gone

I hate you so much but still i cry

Whats wrong with me?

i've benn to a place,
where, no one loves!
I've stroked the cardboard minds
where, no one talks
of conquered fears,
or plans for better times

where shadows fall
on open space,
i can no longer see the sun,
where darkness creeps and over rules
i will just lay down, now, just give in!

Can one man take anothers pride?
I've been to a place where no man can hide.

can what your worth be measured
by the accidents or blessings at your birth?
i know someone who was made to take that shame!
But i suspect that no person was to blame.

can someone be so alone,
in a place without spaces?
Or scream so LOUD in the quietest of places?
Or visit the place where no one loves
and rise, again from the flames
Without the gloves?

Goodbye

Trapped in Darkness, behind my mask.
My mind's been battered and torn.
Enchanting feelings, of joy and elation
Were plentiful. Now I'm forlorn.

Crying and empty, yet full of emotion.
My tissues are drenched with your lies.
Outstanding scarring from pains that you caused me.
Horrific memories fleet by my eyes.

You promised your love and allegiance ne'erending.
And smiled for the whole world to see.
Now the freedom I've gained from leaving your evil
Still haunts, hurts and lingers with me.

Lonely and Maskless, and overly callous,
A broken steel shell of a man.
Don't know who I am now, or why you broke me.
These feelings I can't bare to stand.

Goodbye.

Collaboration with me i_like_blue_eyes and skinnyjean
 
Torn appart:
Blinded by a moment
Shattered by a dream
Taken appart endless
Tethered at the seams
Graced upon with grazes
Terrified and weak
Compare them to the flawless
Subtle and unique
Breathe it in
Till the lung
Tissues scarred
Hyperventilating
Trying too hard
Tell me that I'm broken
How nice of you to notice
I already knew that.
 
But thank you for the insight....

dirty

i carry to many scars
physical,mental . . .
awake each day
to the psychological abuse
of my memories
running from the past
a sad reality
life passing me . . . "bye"
trapped in yesterday
unable to realize a future
lost in the present abyss
of un-repair
the stench of my life
clings to this body
unable to be clean
a prisoner in my own flesh
i peel back my skin
exposing blood and bone
trying to escape
need to be free . . .

of a broken me.

Yes...I think of competitions as inspiration and re-posts just won't cut it

I'm alone home
My third breakup of the year
To my greatest fears
I'll never gain love it appears
No one cares
Why should I continue with the affairs?
I enter my kitchen, where the medicine is
Experiment a little, hell is where my head is in, shit...
I feel so fucked and high from all the Tylenol
I can't wait until I die and all
I'm only in 6th grade
But I'm already tired of the headaches
7th or 8th wouldn't have been better anyways.
My family hates me, they say it blatant
My only true friend is Satan
Lemme go to his house for a while
Pop another dozen pills to kill my smile...
