Yea yea most of these if not all are kinda about heartbreak.
anyway.

~1~
The petite frame of an angel
The voice that paints so blue
The sad piercing eyes

You found my weakness
You found my Achilles’ heel
You found the way in

Have my body to wear as armor
Have my fists to wield as weapons
Have my heart to never again be alone




~2~
You pull my mind away
With the tears that roll
Down your cheeks
My flesh a lifeless shell
Standing here like a statue
Collecting the raindrops
That fall from your eyes
My joints begin to rust
From the rivers you made
But my mind is adrift
I try to find a reason
For these waterfalls you cry
But the portrait remains dry
I can’t paint your thoughts
I can’t find the reasons
My mind begins to wander
You grip my shoulder
Burry your face
You pull me back
I wrap my arms around
Holding you through the night
Till the morning shines again
And the tears stop appearing
You never told me
What caused this state
But I think I know
It’s better to just know
You cried with me tonight





~3~
You found my weakness
Your tears break me down
like a waterfall on the stone below.
I could be fooling myself I guess
I don't want you to be alone

It's raining now
And I stand here for you
but you look the other way

Is it really you I want
Or am I wrong about this
Should I keep standing
Waiting for you to come

It's raining now
And I stand here for you
But you look the other way

It's raining now
And I stand alone
I stand alone





~4~
Every time I look up
and finally see
the sun begin to break
through those thick clouds
and shine just a little bit,
it seems to last
for only a minute or two.
And when the sun dips
behind the horizon
and night falls upon my head.
I can't find any stars in the sky
and even the moons glow
has dimmed beyond visibility
by this obstruction.
These clouds just seem
to stretch on forever,
and they are getting darker
every second
I'm here without you.



~5~
You, you will be dancing on my eyelids with an innocent smile.
And I, I will be joyous knowing it is you that dances in my dreams.



~6~
Everyday I try to forget the way I feel when I see her smile.
Everyday I try to forget how her giggle warms my soul.
Everyday I try to forget how she brightens my day with a simple hello.
Everyday I try to forget how lost I become in the beauty of her eyes.
Everyday I try to forget that I just want to hold her and protect her from the world.

Everyday I try.




~7~
I'm trading my jesters hat for a pair of shoes.
I wont look back and I wont turn around.
I'd rather walk alone then play the fool.



~8~
I don’t think I will ever be able to explain
why you make the butterflies in my stomach
flutter and my heart jump as if it was trying
to catch them, but this feeling is always there
whenever you are near. I don’t know if it is
your eyes, the way you smile, or a mixture
of everything about you.
But I do know that I will always be here for you.


~9~
I can’t get you out of my head
Could you tell me what’s real
So I can escape to my bed
And stop running in this wheel

These days I can’t see too well
So I need you to paint it clear
I don’t know if you can tell
You are my one and only fear


~10~
Inside the book of my life
The story of you and I
Is no more than a paragraph
Of weakly worded dialogue
And a tasteless twisted plot
When the story started
I was hoping for so much more
But I found out
This is nothing more
Than a tragedy
And I fear this chapter
Is coming to a close
So I ask of you
Will you come with me
And rewrite this story
I’m not looking for a happy ending
I’m looking for one that never ends

New short poem

If I a fly and you a spider I would gladly tangle in your web.
And as you wrap me up in your silky dinner plate,
I hope you let me keep the air residing in my lungs.
So I can say to you that I gladly offer you my fate.
And as you begin to devour your friendly meal,
I will simply smile even in this dreadful state.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Crimson life fleeting
Slowly from two small portals
The vampire’s dark kiss
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Golden vines ascend over the slope of her brow
Innocently obscuring the untamed flame in her eye
Gently caressing the prominence of her cheekbones
Kissing ever so lightly the supple ledge of her bottom lip
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am glad you let me stay,
And truly sorry to betray;
This was all a scheme,
So sleep and dream,
Gone is the day.

You have an angelic face,
And I admire your grace;
I will give you one last kiss,
Before bringing you the abyss,
And vanishing without a trace.

For it is time to feed,
And you are all that I need;
As you lie there and sleep,
Your soul I will reap,
Your veins carry my greed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I sit and wait for a single word
A tiny phrase of love or hate
A yes, a no, a maybe,
I would even be happy to hear
The end of any new conversation
Tell me to get lost, leave you be
Anything would be better
Than this silence that you so willingly
Swing like a sledge hammer at my face
Crushing my skull and dislodging my thoughts
Is it so much to ask, for even a whisper
A single solitary syllable
A lonely letter?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thanks for the comment. :D
The first was a haiku :p
and the third was a limerick traditional style aabba



new one, I dont like it much but I decided im going to write one a day like it or not. same with drawing. one picture a day like it or not.

I’ve been trying for days now to find the words
The words I wanted to give to you
Words that could change your direction
Words that would lead you by the hand to me
But it seems you’re gone and words won’t do
So I question if you were ever really here
Were you just an ornate illusion crafted in my lonely mind?
Were you nothing more than the ghost of my every desire?
These questions pelt my mind never wavering never subsiding
I can still see your face when I close my eyes
Eyes so large and full of life
Eyes so warm and brown
They wake me up like the coffee they resemble
An espresso shot of vigor and aspiration
Try to forget
Try to move on
Push your memory from my mind
And it claws back into my chest
I want you happy
I want you

Haha, thanks for the replies.
and yea there is a someone that most of the more recent ones are about.


I remember when I painted you a picture
I reproduced every shape and curve
Knowing I’d never match your grace
Hours passed and my pencil scratched
Each mark a wispy grey reflection
Each stroke a little piece of me
And now I sit back and think
Did you keep it close and dream?
Did you rip it apart and decorate the trash?

Something new.

Falling graceful

Falling directly towards the sky
Grasping what I can, it all breaks free
Nothing here keeps me on the ground long
The sky is opening, and it swallows me
Drifting in the darkest of the dark
No oxygen to keep my lungs inflated
Gravity grasps and pulls at my heels
Plummeting back through the atmosphere
My flesh scarred and my mind scorched
Everything is a crystal from here
Tiny and shiny so perfect so fine
But I’m not slowing in the slightest
The earth below my fatal foe
I tuck a coin in my lips for the ferry ride
Falling gracefully is something I never do
Falling graceful (EDIT)

Falling towards the sky again
Grasping to an anchor, always breaking free
Never keep my feet to the ground very long
The sky it opens up spews me out
Directionlessly drifting in the vacuum of a void
No oxygen to keep my lungs with air
Gravity tugs my shoe laces when I get to far
Dropping back through the atmosphere
Body burnt and battered, mind torn
Everything a crystal from this point on
Tiny, shiny, so fine, so perfect
Never slowing, ground growing
Tuck away a coin for the ferry ride
Falling gracefully is something I never do
