Unloved, Always
I have never been in love.
I have never felt butterflies dancing in my stomach as the room stands still.
I have never found eyes to be entranced by,
Or a face to memorize,
Or a voice that sounds like sweet music to only me.
I haven’t had that moment of clarity when your life feels perfect
That moment when you can’t imagine another day without them.
I haven’t had any of it.
All I have is wanting.
I want a person to come into my life and stay.
I want to be able to look at them and say "I love you" and mean it.
I want to be...

The Dance
I waved them goodbye,
A pang in my heart as my family and friends left.
Arms wrapped around me, filling the empty hole inside.
I smiled.
He turned me,
Pulling me into his arms as we danced across the room.
Twists and turns,
Smiles, and laughter.
He dances me away from the window, deep into my home.
He twirls me,
Until my back is to him.
His arms wrapped around me,
Using his strength to hold me close.
He's backing into a dark corner,
He feels cold,
Pulling me further away from the light.
I...

I Don't Love You Anymore
I don’t love you anymore.
Maybe this came upon you when you decided to be absent in my childhood. I decided you were absent when all I can remember is you being there for my sixth birthday.
That’s it, that’s the only memory I have of you, and even then it’s small.
And maybe, I discovered this when all you would do is call me names, or tease me too often.
Maybe that’s why I’ve built up these walls, these walls that surround my heart that has softened,
But that shouldn’t happen with Father and Daughter, oh no, the father should be the reason these walls fall, not...

Where Will My Secrets Take Me?
I sway left and right,
The stars all so bright.
I’m all alone,
Chilled down to the bone.
My eyes close,
All my secrets,
No one knows.
Help me I whisper
And with one hit,
I whimper.
Goodbye
The stars all so bright.
I’m all alone,
Chilled down to the bone.
My eyes close,
All my secrets,
No one knows.
Help me I whisper
And with one hit,
I whimper.
Goodbye

What Would They Care If I Disappear?
I’m in the safety of my house, the comfort of my room...it is anything but.
A man, a man who is unclear is running toward me, a child, with a knife in a dark alleyway where no one can see me or hear my screams.
As this man gets closer and closer to me, I can see who it is.
But not who, what it is.
I can see that it’s not a person, but depression. Now it may seem crazy, but depression is running at me and all I can do is stand still.
I can’t breathe, I can’t move, I can’t blink.
All I see is the knife with my name on it.
I thought I escaped this,...

Help Signs
Animals dying
People trying
We are all crying
Birds falling
And yet we still don't see.
We hear Mother Nature's calls and pleas for help
We see her warning signs, her writing that she needs help,
And yet we close our eyes and cover our ears
And ignore her.
We keep to ourselves, we don't help anyone but ourselves.
And maybe we help the ones who we love, or maybe there are people who do help others,
But only of the same species.
We don't help Mother Nature.
We twiddle our thumbs as we watch animals and plants die...

The Wall
This wall.
This damn wall.
It has nothing on it, it has no color, no pictures, just a white wall.
I stare at it for hours a day, waiting and waiting for something.
That something, I don't know what it is.
But this wall, it shows what I am.
It shows all my emotions, it replays my memories,
But not the good ones, oh no it only plays the bad ones.
It replays all the hurt and anger from my life and I HAVE to watch it,
Otherwise, I'm living a lie.
I could turn my back and tell myself a lie that the bad moments don't exist,
But oh no, that...

Welcome Darkness
I sit on the bed, just staring at my wall,
I can't help but feel ashamed, upset, hurt.
It feels like I've taken a fall.
And yet as I'm staring at this wall,
A new feeling washes over me, a feeling I haven't felt in a while.
I feel anguish power over my senses, my hands at my face.
On the inside, I'm trying to claw my way out.
I am trying to replenish my thirst for happiness with the sand of despair.
I am trying to make all this grief leave me with only me as a weapon when it has knives and guns.
What am I doing?
Why am I here?
I haven't...
I can't help but feel ashamed, upset, hurt.
It feels like I've taken a fall.
And yet as I'm staring at this wall,
A new feeling washes over me, a feeling I haven't felt in a while.
I feel anguish power over my senses, my hands at my face.
On the inside, I'm trying to claw my way out.
I am trying to replenish my thirst for happiness with the sand of despair.
I am trying to make all this grief leave me with only me as a weapon when it has knives and guns.
What am I doing?
Why am I here?

The Darkness
Demons are everywhere,
All they do is hunt you,
There is almost nothing left, but a single ray of light.
It's weak, and around it is darkness, fear, anger.
A lot of things fill the dark, scary things.
They are monsters, tearing each thing that comes across its' path.
Making each ray of light diminish until all that's left is the darkness.
Waiting and waiting for that ray of light to go out so they can suppress the good.
Maybe that light will stay, and maybe it will grow stronger,
Maybe that light will be able to start other rays, ...

God's View
I sit here,
Watching as my creations prosper,
As these creatures roam the ends of the Earth.
Then my greatest creation,
Man.
Man is powerful, fearless, brave.
Yet all they do is bring terror and rain death upon the planet.
My greatest creation is killing my other creations, abusing them, torturing them.
I need to stop this before my planet goes down to ruins,
I need to create someone strong enough, powerful enough to listen.
Man is grand,
But at what cost should I let them continue this path?
I need to guide them to...

Hunter and The Bird
The bird sings,
It sings its heart out,
But then a hunter emerges,
A gun in its hands.
The bird doesn't notice this until BANG!
The music stops,
And all is silent.
It sings its heart out,
But then a hunter emerges,
A gun in its hands.
The bird doesn't notice this until BANG!
The music stops,
And all is silent.
