Couldn't SeeTake it all
Its what you had
That is now gone
You couldn't care
I wouldn't dare
To think you'd care all along!

Brokenhearted
Shattered
Why should it matter
(to you)
Such a mad hatter
(oh yeah)
And it pursues my anger
Over how I thought
I'd see something special
In you...

So Brokenhearted
(all because of you, all you)

I hate the fact
Of how I put my trust
In what remained so lost
And without a cause
sought after some other lust!

(such a lost cause and now I'm)

Brokenhearted
Shattered (shattered!)
why should it matter
(to you)
Such a mad hatter
(oh, oh yeah!)
And it makes me sadder
Over how I thought
I'd see some

WaitingStories long spoken of a maiden fair,
In eternal slumber, eternal wait,
Encircled by thorns in long hidden lair,
A monstrous creature’s unparalleled bait.

With all the trappings of wealth and splendour,
Beauty manifest, blade edge keen and bright,
He rode forth in the name of his ardour,
To reveal to all the truth of love’s might.

No foe could withstand the strength of his fist,
The cut of his sword was poised not to miss,
In majestic victory none could resist,
He’d awaken his bride with love’s first kiss.

So rode he forth in most princely fashion,
His banners unfurled and wedding plans laid,
Heed

Murderer

You shot me without using a gun
You stabbed me without using a knife
By breaking my heart you murdered me
And left me without a life

I have now suffocated
And I don’t want to breathe
My life is forever dead
When you’re not with me

I guess I shall be dark
When once I was sunny
I never thought it was possible
But now I am a walking mummy

Forever to walk without a purpose
Along the appointed sands
And I bet if you took a look
You would see my blood is on your hands

You shot me without using a gun
You stabbed me without using a knife
You foul murderer, you killed me
And left me to never rest in peace.

Broken HeartWhy does love hurt?
Why does something that is supposed to be so sweet
Leave you wounded
Battered and broken
Shattered
Yet still wanting
Wanting what hurt you in the first place

Why does a heart
Make the body feel such strong emotions
Leave you open
Giving anything
Everything
And not caring
If you get it returned in full

Love is addicting
Like that drug you know is bad for you
You ache for it
Yearn and pine
Needing
Wanting to hear
The words I love you

But instead of that
You don’t hear what you want
You call out
Cry for emotion
Love
But your heart is alone
And you are left broken again

Super StitionsIt seems some sprite has run amok
And stolen from the world its luck.
Now under ladders danger waits
And black cats foretell a dismal fate.
If thirteen should sit to a repast,
For one the meal shall be his last.
Ears will burn when someone speaks,
Behind your step the stairwell creaks.
Something lurks beneath your bed,
Crazy thoughts will fill your head.
And should you wish for something good,
Forget not that you must touch wood.
Cross your fingers, hope to die,
Throw salt behind you to the sky.
Forget your fears, go into the light,
The doctor comes with coat of white.

Thoughts of a BoyThe first on and the last off
Every train of thought
Is the boy on my brain.

He operates my heartstrings
With a puppet master's skill
The unexpected turn of each next word
will tell my mood which way to swing.

How do you get out of danger...
...When it's inside your mind?

Distractions default
Because by both
Fact and fiction
Nothing compares
To his definition.
Like Bella's Edward
Or Bonnie's Clyde
My eyes see him
in every design.

Although always unwilling to fall
it's a nice feeling to hover on
between the air
before the blow
Uncertain when it may be
That I'll hit the floor.

And in my c

Good AdviceSave your advice, your helpful hints,
The bruises from your fingerprints are fading,
I’ve learnt the art of evading
Your self improvement tips.
In your eyes I’m always small,
I trip, I crawl, I fall into the gutter
And with every word you utter
You bid me stay where I belong.
Well man was granted heaven
Before he earnt himself a place in hell
Why should you care where I choose to dwell?
Shake your head in dismay,
I never do listen to what you say.
Leave me to dig myself out of my pit of sin.
Without you to push me in,
I might just clear it in one step.

Broken heart.Broken Heart.

When time passes by
I can still hear my words
I told you goodbye

When that time has passed
I realised that I broke you
Something that isn't repaired easily

Everytime I think of you
I remember it
I have really broken you

Yet this isn't the end
I want you to go on
Never stop trying

I may have left you
Still I won't walk away
Because I don't dislike you

Keep living, keep hope
You will survive
Not everything will come at once

Everytime you think of me
I hope I won't hurt you anymore
It's my last wish for you

crush.I am drawn to you - to be cliche -
like a moth to a flame and yet
there is nothing ordinary
about my ever-growing attraction
to the beautiful creature that is you

I wish I could paint a picture
of what I see when I look at you
sitting there across the table
or beside me in the car
as we wander off to our next
ever-spontaneous excursion

And in my mind I see it -
a portrait of a perfectly flawed
yet utterly gorgeous soul -
and its colors call to me
like a song not yet written
and I am inspired by your essence

I want to be the artist
that can capture your true beauty
and I want to be the author
that can express through w

Blank CanvasPeople all have expressions
Upon each and every face.
Yet you are like a canvas,
A blank one, without a trace
Of any emotions appearing upon
The surface that I see.
You are about as readable as
A water drop in the sea.

Mirror MirrorMirror Mirror,
All I can see
Is the girl inside
Who’s fairer than me

With blood red lips
And Ebony hair
With snow white skin
Bringing me despair

Her dark deep eyes
Are hiding her joy
I watch in rage
As she talks with that boy

Mirror Mirror
So high on the wall
Help me destroy her
Once and for all.

first kissWe lean in
noses bump,
teeth clash.
A variety of new sensations
secluded in a corner.

Our shadows merge behind us
touching once, twice.
Does this mean to you
what it means to me?
I know I'm not your first
or the best
or most experienced.
But I'm here
sharing this moment with you,
saying thank you
for choosing me
and showing me what can happen
when two beings collide
soft and gently
with tender pressing moments.
I will remember this forever.

FearIrony is what comes to mind
When a common man finds an empty home
Enough to suit standards of evading the lonely
Seems awfully similar to how you said there was no room
In your deprived heart even though no one occupied it to
Begin with.

Love is the foulest of creatures
You always used to utter in my ear
Especially when enjoying the usual sickly
Thought piercing love songs blaring
Joyfully through rough speakers
You always remained dead to the word.

I. So undoubtedly filled with life and the taste of passion
Rung out my dearest lips in your direction all because
Something a grander scale from within you sang crystal
Clear, yet

perseveranceGive it your all
Attempt of strength
Before your knee's fall
Stay proud
Until you can longer carry
the weight

Bring all the might
Worked through strong spite
To those ideals before
A nervous heart
State your position
Shake away all hesitation

So If you get pushed down
Swallow the pain
Get back up again
(Get up again!)
If you're shoved around
Regain your footing
Stand your ground
(Stand your ground!)

Demeaning voices
Sway your composition
Remain true to the ultimate choice
The truth of believing the decision
They only try to put you down
Get anger going to make you unsound

WordsThe abandoned bench in the middle of the city
Raining torrential
Bags of all assortments waiting of the saving diety
Escaping the hurtful influential
The flaws detrimental

The night before
Struck past midnight
Going further and further into murder
More and more
An already broken heart
Now mangled with terrifying sores

Of all the sticks and stones
That break all the bones
Ever think about those words
Causing all the eternal to hurt?

The bitter bees that left the mouth
Lifted up and stung all around
Tore apart the skin
Eating away the soul within

The blade of a lyrical sword
Swung deep in the core
Bruising and bleeding

Words in SilenceWords of solemn misery
Flow swiftly from my pen,
With ease I can describe disease
And the fear that stalks all men.

Words of heavy judgement
Come quickly as I write,
And well can I with verse proclaim
How man abuses might.

But I am in a foreign field
Where joy as blossoms grow
And love lights up a glowing sky
With thoughts I do not know.

These rhymes do not flow easily
Nor can I understand
Why with words suppressed and lips compressed
My heart is in your hand.

You’ve taught to me a language new
Where feelings are unspoken
But felt through every glance you give
A bond we’ll keep unbroken.

EncircledThis circle is eternity
without start or end
to symbolise a love that lasts
revealed upon your hand.
This circle is a banner
wrapped around the vein
that leads to your beating heart
intending to remain.

This circle is a trifling thing
before these vows I give
to stand beside you this day forth
for all the days I live.
All the metaphors we use
to portray deeper meanings
can be uttered with one truth
that this is our beginning.

Peace by PieceBy nature, peace is fragile
And cautiously builds her nest,
Too easily sent to flight
By the smallest hurt or
Imagined slight.
Peace can seldom pass
The test of time,
She is not lured by hue or clime
To increase the days of her visit.

By nature, peace is transient,
More readily a memory than fact,
Peace is rarely found intact.

The language of men is mired with cracks
And our guard is always raised.
We strive to read every stance.
Each look, each frown, each glance
Can have a multitude of meanings,
Can give offense.
So we learn to excel at pretence.
To smile while feeling hurt inside,
To cast small cruelties to one si

Chelonia: Turtle of the SeaIt is harder for a rich man to get to Heaven
than for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle.

And hard too is it to choke
cut off from sight and sound and air,
trapped with shrimp in trawling nets
whilst they keep travelling unaware.

Yet greed can be assuaged not
and delicacies are seldom found
as sweet as that which hidden lies -
thus nest becomes a burial ground.

The arribada host once came,
a thousand shells gleamed on the sand,
now hundreds come up in their wake
while poachers wait upon the land.

Its body made an ornament
to shine above the glowing hearth,
Millennia of history laid
as memory beneath this earth.

Maybe TomorrowThe trees are heavy with blossoms,
they look beautiful na?
How can they not, when I’m here
to beautify this avenue.

See them turn towards me
in supplication, adoring,
like everybody else
they too desire a glimpse
of my esteemed self.

With just a little effort
the wind could dislodge
those waving petals
that they might dance.

The sun is warm today,
a glowing orb that mocks,
a ball thrown high
that hangs there with promise
but doesn’t deliver.

Someone with vision could reach it,
send it plunging to that final smash.
Why not me you ask?
I’m not in

ASHDreams can come true.
Sometimes.
And pacifists need not always be fools.
Once, out of a thousand attempts,
You might just find that needle in the haystack,
Or see a blue moon.
Perhaps your efforts will not have been in vain -
The villain could earn redemption.
Your friendship may withstand betrayal.

Together our linked hands
Can encompass a far greater region
Than we could hope for alone.

I reach out to touch you
As I fade to ash.
My questions have been answered.
I have strength enough to see beyond this ending.
Look to the hollow space within me,
Perha

Something started off so beautiful
But beauty fades
And beauty dies
Something started off so magical
But magic is
Only lies

I looked at you for moments
I’m bleeding now for days
Our paths have different bearings
We’ve gone our separate ways
I’ll walk my weary distance
On faith and time depend
That this aching void within me
Will someday meet its end

Ho yes, the void met its end. XD
I reckon that you should turn the white space on the preview image transparent. ^^ Will look nicer that way, methinks.

Such a chance encounter, I imagine, from the 'moments/days' bit. Like the author met a beautiful stranger and aches to see them again.

~ElairaHunter Oct 12, 2009

Very close to the answer. It's more about feeling a connection with someone but not even getting the opportunity to develop those feelings, kind of a relationship failing before it's had a chance of success.
