Here I Go
Here I go again with you on my mind
How can I break away from this
Its not like we speak anymore
But for some reason I can't let go
I can't face the fact that you're out of my life
At one time or another you were the greatest thing that happened to me
Now I know you were just a waste of time
Wish I knew why I have you on my mind
I swear when I do try to talk to you
You act like you don't even know me
After all we've been through
All those ups and downs
But that's alright, that's okay
Because when you need me
I will...

Jar of Hearts
I'm not your puppet anymore
I'm not your play toy
Stop taking hearts that you love to fool
Torturing them till they're nothing but dust
learn to live half a life
but is that enough?
"Who do you think you are
running around leaving scars
collecting jar of hearts
and tearing love apart
I hope you get a cold from that empty soul
Don't come back for me."
you have already taken what you needed from me
something you'll never take again
that something is something beautiful
but how should you know ...

It Was Not My Fault - A poem for abused children
Words hurt when written
from the chore of the heart
Where pain resides
Hidden in the folds of memory
They sometimes fester and die
The shocking secret of a child
I had to dig deep
I had to convince my soul
It was okay
That secrets could be revealed
Once buried deep and safe
Away from prying eyes for years
Behind the veil of hidden tears
I used to smile
Mask in place
hiding from my devastating past
My child mind convinced it was my fault
Never wanting them to know
My innocent life shattered
Shards of mirror reflecting...

Tell Me
Tell me what I did wrong
So I can approve and change
Tell me I'm nothing special
That way I don't have to worry about dying
Tell me more of your lies
So I can end up believing them in the end
Tell me I'm sweet
That way I don't have to change who I am
Tell me I matter
So I can actually believe someone cares
Tell me I'm your to hold
So I can have something to squeeze when my tears fall out
Tell me the truth
So I can hear one thing in my life is true
Tell me you love me
That way I can walk up to you
Hold out a lovely red rose...
So I can approve and change
Tell me I'm nothing special
That way I don't have to worry about dying
Tell me more of your lies
So I can end up believing them in the end
Tell me I'm sweet

Tell me I matter
So I can actually believe someone cares
Tell me I'm your to hold
So I can have something to squeeze when my tears fall out
Tell me the truth
So I can hear one thing in my life is true
Tell me you love me
That way I can walk up to you
Hold out a lovely red rose...

Closer to You
Thoughts in my head
Running through my mind all day
Sometimes I feel like I'm goin crazy
But then it's a comfort to feel...
Closer to you than before
I feel so free and wild
I can be anything I want
But I choose to be closer to you
Because that's what I want most to be
Myself yes it's true
You are everything in my eyes
Closer to you
I feel so free and wild
Like the flowers in a field
The wind blowing them around
Come take me away
To a place just you and I can be together
Closer to you
How I wish to be closer to you...

A Taste of Life
A taste of fear.
A taste of fate.
Left with one more mistake.
A wish.
A dream.
People being left in between.
Love.
Hate.
Wanting to just escape.
Pain.
Shame.
Left out of the rain.
Tear after tear, wanting to just disappear.
Cry every night, till eventualluy you can't fight.
Memories becoming blurrs.
Memories becoming blank.
My life just sank
A taste of fate.

Tear after tear, wanting to just disappear.

Memories becoming blank.

The insomniac heart
In amongst the sleepless hour
Where a pensive thought persists
Where are you my hearts companion
To aid me to a peaceful sleep
Time tortures the tired mind
And all my thoughts are of you
Silently I hold off tears
I miss you, wish you were here
I lay awake staring into nothing
Imagine what a conversation with you
Could do to ease my worried heart
Sleepless in all its anxiety
My heart and I wait for you
And waiting seems eternal
As though to never end
A sleepless heart and a restless mind
And my thoughts are of you
I miss you,...

Scars
Maybe to you the scars mean nothing
but to me they mean I’m still alive.
When the blood was flowing
all I wanted was death.
Then I passed out and thought
it was over and I would be happy at last.
I guess I didn’t cut deep enough
or in the right spot.
I still woke up in this hell I call home.
Back to everyday life
where I cant do anything rite,
everything’s my fault,
your still gone,
I still miss you,
and cant have you here.
This place we call home is nothing but disgrace,
full of disappointment, ...
but to me they mean I’m still alive.

I remember
I remember when I was a little kid
gazing at the beautiful blue sky
pondering what I will be like when I'm older"
I hope I'm not a asshole to anyone."
As I grew from being a little kid to a grown teenage
I wonder if my wish was true
I never thought of myself as an asshole
I really haven't made me an image
I'm just me
I remember walking to the fields
laying in the green grass
looking up in the beautiful blue ocean
wondering if I'm as sweet as everyone says
The sun puts on its smile and says
"Your one...
gazing at the beautiful blue sky
pondering what I will be like when I'm older"
I hope I'm not a asshole to anyone."

Give Me a Reason
Give me a reason
and pretend that this is all real
Give me a reason
why i should stay round
Give me a reason
and try to hide my tears
Give me a reason
that I will actually believe
Give me a reason
that I should forgive you
Is it to wrong
to being able to know the truth?
Apparently I cant even speak
for I have to always be quiet
Oh well
I'm breaking the silence
Give me a reason
that you love me
Give me a reason
why you gave me a second chance
Give me a reason
why you broke my heart several times...

As I sit and Look in the Rain
As i sit and look at the rain,
tears roll down my eyes,
There is some pain in my heart that bleeds,
and my life longs to cease and suffice...
I do not want to live any more,
but don't know why my heart goes on,
I still wonder why there is this distance,
and I still wonder what went wrong...
My senses have diminished,
and maybe my end is near,
but me losing you my love,
is still my greatest fear...
I know we had our time,
when the sun used to shine,
the stars would sparkle and sing all night long,
birds...

Ready to Go
I'm sorry if I'm keeping you here
I'm sorry if you want me to let go
obviously your ready to move on
But Im not ready for you to go
But really its not my choice if you stay
I understand why you must leave
But why so soon?
We just started to know each other
I'm sorry if all you want to do is leave
I'll just get out of your way
and watch another heart walk out of my life
But its wasn't my decision
You were ready to go
I'm sorry if you want me to let go
obviously your ready to move on
But Im not ready for you to go
But really its not my choice if you stay
I understand why you must leave
But why so soon?
We just started to know each other

and watch another heart walk out of my life
But its wasn't my decision
