Broken Glass
Silence means a lot when saying something
They say the quiet ones are the ones to watch out for
The stranger in the street or your friend at school
.. the quiet ones.. the wise ones, with the blinding smiles and beautiful eyes
I don’t know when I fell for you, but I fell hard
good things don’t last, time is moving fast
My love for you was easy to see But I haven't felt yours yet…
But I have felt you,.. in me You victimized my worth
Decided my fate, I belonged to you in those few minutes...
My heart... beating
Beating just a bit a bit faster, Breathing...

sinking sleep
Theres this feeling, i get sometimes, at night.
I'm asleep and suddenly i awaken.. I try to move my body but nothing is happening. I've gone numb.. Its like theres a force greater than gravity itself keeping me bound to the sheets i lay tangled in. I think its a dream but dogs are barking outside, i hear them, and the sound of cars cruising down the highway.. Tick tock, tick tock.. Why cant i move...my body?
I begin to panic.. The harder i try to move the more i sink into the mattress... Something is pushing against my chest, my arms hurt.. I want to scream but my mouth wont open, .....

i long to be with you
I long to be with you
To look into the black pools of your eyes
And watch the differrent emotions surface.
To see you smile with your lips and eyes.
To place my head against your chest
And gaze at nothing while i listen
To the beats of your heart and the echoes of your voice
I long to be with you
To play with the child in you
Counting numbers and finding you
Hiding in dark corners.
To see the look on your face after i bite you
Or push you in front of a moving car....
Then save you.
To dance with you
Feel your heart beat when you hold...
To look into the black pools of your eyes
And watch the differrent emotions surface.
To see you smile with your lips and eyes.
To place my head against your chest
And gaze at nothing while i listen
To the beats of your heart and the echoes of your voice
I long to be with you
To play with the child in you
Counting numbers and finding you
Hiding in dark corners.
To see the look on your face after i bite you
Or push you in front of a moving car....
Then save you.
To dance with you
Feel your heart beat when you hold...

push
I walked down the long lonely road. Earphones plugged in my ears blasting a loud sad love story..I was going to see Him. Hopefully make him understand.he did nothing wrong..I just wasn't ready..
When i looked up i saw him, hiding behind dark sunglasses. We didn't hug. I wanted to but we didn't, wanting is never enough...instead we walked, and there was silence.he asked why i wanted to see him. I honestly had no reason.maybe to check if he was alive, safe, okay?? I know he hates me right now. I hate myself more. I would rather hurt him this way then let him watch me die. I guess it is...

heartbroken
Unseen ghosts of the past, linger... haunting
locking me in an invisible embrace
perhaps the memory of how you held me?
and your signature scent that stayed when you left
your final goodbye and i told a white lie
said it didn't hurt, now here i am in tears, here i lie
body rigid, no pain, just feeling
irretrievable,
alone and
heartbroken.
why me??? God why me?
questioning thorns that always pricked my wounded flesh
bruises on my tender heart, bleeding love
it truly was an musical affair...

tears and fears
i cant let you see me tear
so ill sing but not loud enough for you to hear
cause i too have fears.
you say my name softly
demanding answers promtly
you look at me and cut me
countless times, with your dark eyes
i look away and begin to hum
maybe my heart will turn numb
and i wont have to keep asking
for something i wont get
i think of the things i have lost
they range from my name
to your trust and maybe your love
thrown in a cyclone of confusion
i let it take me away
i dont want to understand

Fait accompli
I feel like a walking cadaver
Now that i have lost my calyx
Nothing could assuage my guilt
I pushed you too far too fast
Decided to bloom before my time
Made you walk through Hades
Thorns pierced your flesh
How was i to know you were protecting me?
You said i was cantankerous
You set me free...
And i came to know
what i know now
But by then
Fait accompli
Now that i have lost my calyx
Nothing could assuage my guilt
I pushed you too far too fast
Decided to bloom before my time
Made you walk through Hades
Thorns pierced your flesh
How was i to know you were protecting me?
You said i was cantankerous
You set me free...
And i came to know
what i know now
But by then

silence
We had that silence
That u look at me and its final
Giving me that shake in my spinal
Cord,, without using your vocal chords
Just sight, no words like
Ssh, don't tel no body what we did last night.
you stand there with fists clenched
Eyes red, face turning a shade of green
I look to the floor, play with my fingers
There"s always a bit of flesh out of place.
I cant take the silent gaze, say something! Anything!!
& just as i expect you try to shoot me down with words
Killing me silently, there goes the piece of me
I built this...

lost love
I feel as though you have lost hope
When it comes to loving and being loved
That your childhood will determine
The kind of feelings you are allowed
To feel and act upon
And those you receive and thrive upon.
I wish i could pour love into your heart
So that you could feel it
Shaking you from the core of your being
Shivers of the spine and unexplainable trembles
A continuous tickle and tingle
From your nose down to your toes
A feeling buried so deep within you
That no amount of pain could erase it from you
Just so you could smile and...

i never plucked the rose
I never plucked the rose
i admired it from a distance
afraid the thorns may prick my skin
afraid its beauty may never bore me
i never plucked it but i watched it
it grew in circles around me
i never protested i nurtured it
it was a Beautiful Rose
until the thorns began to prick me
and i was trapped amid the thorns
i bled till i could bleed no more
my tear ducts ran dry
so did the rose wilt
But despite all this
I never plucked the rose
to end my misery
i admired it from a distance
afraid the thorns may prick my skin
afraid its beauty may never bore me
i never plucked it but i watched it
it grew in circles around me
i never protested i nurtured it
it was a Beautiful Rose
until the thorns began to prick me
and i was trapped amid the thorns
i bled till i could bleed no more
my tear ducts ran dry
so did the rose wilt
But despite all this
I never plucked the rose
to end my misery

smoke
there's no fire but there's smoke
the smell doesn't choke but it pleases
even as i stand behind you and poke
questioning why you still do not cease
the answers are always the same
so i keep on asking,
but you twist the plot
and ask me things you should not
like the reason for the bruises on my arms
why would you ask me such???
then look at me with your big beautiful brown eyes
and ask me if im okay..
even if i said no would you help?
