In order to avoid long posts, please just don't quote me, and only use the title of the poem.

BBL

Don't trip and fall
Don't jump from here
Don't hurt yourself
Because everytime
I feel the pain you do
My heart beats in your hands
My soul whisps around your neck
I can see my love in your eyes
And it makes me feel so stupid
To trust you with everything that I am
But, you don't feel that way, do you?
You keep telling me that I have you
I've never felt my heart tied and bound like this
I've never recalled ever being happy of being committed
Keep it.
Keep everything I've given you
Keep my feelings and my sheepish glances
Your family seems to like me well enough
Do you think they'd mind us being that close?
But that look...
It's almost saying
"Shutup and kiss me...
or these tears will break through."

Black Dove

I hate you, I enjoy your pain
I rejoice when you sin, as if dancing in the rain
I hate when you are happy, I need you to stop
I need you to run, so I'll be on top
I hate you, I am you
Just the dark, the part that hides from view
I really hate because you love
I hate you...
As peaceful as a dove

Blue

Since I'm obviously overreacting,
When you won't just call me back
When I leave you seven million messages
Hoping you still give a damn

Since I'm obviously overreacting,
When I cry at night alone
When I wish I was just about anyone else
Waiting for just that one moment
To say 'I'm over you.'

Since I'm obviously overreacting
When I saw your tongue halfway down his throat
I really hope you are proud of yourself
All I want is for you two to just choke

I hope his arms are warm
I hope his smile is too
'cause I'll be so cold to you, b***h.
You'll be blue...blue...blue.
Since I'm obviously overreacting.


Brittle Edge

The wolf pack bays at the rising sun
Luna watches her silver mirror
The night is not yet done
Yet to me, nothing is clearer
Sitting on the seashore
Our hands touch
Our lips brush
Gentle embrace
Face to face
Perfect tomorrow
Right on the brink


Camera Lens

I love you
You love me
But you still leave me
Alone, barren, desolate
I try so hard to remember and forget
So hard to kiss and
Not want you more
Even so,
How well can you fake a smile?


Deep

If I love you
Don't you think
I should give you a chance
And not deny how I feel
But the second you get involved
It becomes impossible for me
I struggle for hours to find
The courage to say how I feel
But no matter what
It's never the truth
What you never know
Is that I'll love you deeper
Than you can ever see
Until time stops, and my heart
When the blood freezes in my veins
I'll feel as if I could never admit
How much I can care for you
And you don't even get it
No matter how deep the scars go
I'll love you, even if it hurts
No matter how deep...


Figuratively Speaking

A man layed down his figurative head
And rested well on his figurative bed
The figurative woman
Took her knife and stabbed him viciously
Figuratively, of course
The figurative blood stopped in his veins
And his eyes won't ever open again
The figurative night gave way
To figurative day
And by and by
In the figurative sky
The world was essentially
The same
The moral of the figurative story is that;
Life is short
and
Murder is deadly.


Forgotten Flower

If I cried
Would you dry my tears?
If I fell
Would you pick me up?
If I loved you
Would you love me back?
Because if you wouldn?t
I think that this is a waste of time
Like sand to the wind
Just another memory
Tossed to the side
Forlorn for hope
I need your love
To never get it
Is like to deny
The lotus of its water
Now I see you
But not as how I wish
You can?t love me back
Let my petals wilt
And I will die

I Am who I Am

I'm a poet, I never claimed to be more than someone who can use a fancy flip of tounge to catch your eye.
I'm a friend, open to the feelings of my comrades.
I'm a lover, endlessly quabbling within myself for the courage to ask.
I'm a dreamer, constantly hoping for a better tommorrow.
I'm a realist, evermore driving other's hopes into the ground to boost myself.
I'm a charmer, to dethrone a man is a great misdead to royalty.
I fall, I pick myself up.
I cry, and dry my own tears.
I soar, and crash on my own.
I still want him, because, he seems to complete me.
We understand with no uncertainty we love eachother.


I'd Love To

I'd love to bottle the words and acid I spit so readily
I'd love to take and cut you out of every memory
I'd love to break every single bone inside of me
I'd love to fight against whatever I was born to be
I'd love to kill this wretched beast that lives inside my head
Because there's nothing better to the world than seeing me dead
I'd love to take the tome of history and separate the you and I
I'd love to have laughed every time you made me cry
I'd love to take an ornate dagger and plunge it in my heart
You know these are just the words I say, you know it's just the art

I'd love to make you know how you make me feel
I'd love to tell you how now I know I'm real
I'd love to tell you plainly how much I friggin' care
Even though, quite plainly, I'd rather be there
I'd love to make you someday, somehow see
How very much you mean to me.
I get angry and write words that I really don't mean
But I'd rather be the most loving boy that you have ever seen.


I'm Fine

This heart that beats in my chest isn't mine
I keep waving it off, say it's all fine
At night my fingers itch to touch your hair
And I always wake to find you aren't there
Paint me pictures of hatred and of spite
So I can sit there and smile all night
They can't see the world behind it, You see
Every night you say "I love you" to me
But I can't feel you in my arms right now
I'd do anything to see you, don't know how
Everything crashes in when you leave me
I need every inch of me just to see
Falling in love with you was what pressed
Me to fall in love with the very best
It pulled my beating heart out of my chest
This heart that beats in my chest isn't mine
But even though you aren't with me, I'm fine


It's Not Your Fault

I wanted someone to be with
But it's not your fault, I was the one who loved you.
I wanted someone to share who I am with
But it's not your fault, I was the one who loved you
I've dreamt many a night of your kiss, your touch.
But it's not your fault, I was the one who loved you
I've fallen and cannot raise, you help me rise from the ashes to fly again
But it's not your fault, I was the one who loved you
I fell in love with you, seeing you in my thoughts oh so often
But it's not your fault, I was the one who loved you
I told you how I felt, but you did not feel the same
But it's not your fault, I was the one who loved you
Your discomfort caused me to push you away
But it's not your fault, I was the one who loved you
Finally, you've grown to hate me, I am sure
But it's not your fault, I was the one who loved you


Loaded Gun Complex

Don't waste your time on me, I'm not worth the waste of breath.
Don't throw me the solution, because I won't get better for it.
Caught up with what you are, so I can't see who I am.
I just want a little bit of you tonight, hold me please.
I lied to you, how can you stand to see me?
I lied to you, how can you look at me?
I know I can't have you, but there might be a chance.
Put these words down,
Bang! There goes my indecision.
BANG! There goes my feelings for him.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Jealousy, Hatred, Aggression.
Bang! There go my tendencies to lie to you.
Spin the barrel and reload and I can shoot away all my problems.
Loaded gun, c**k it.
Pull the trigger, baby. Pull it and make my problems go away.


Luna, My friend; Sol, My foe

I don't want tonight to end
Don't let the sun rise
Taking in your scent
Take me away
Sobbing into your shoulder
Can't find the words
Don't leave me
It's so hard
I want you to catch me
I'm falling so quickly
I'm so in love with you
I don't want to live
Without you
Delicate strings break
I don't want tonight to end
Don't let the sun rise


Now...

When you left me
I thought you'd left forever
But I remember the day I found you
It was a dream come true
But now every time
I wake you are on my mind
If you left so long ago
Why does your presence linger and take control?
Now my every thought, every emotion tied to your tears
That is what you left to me the day you left
The day you left is the day I became an empty shell


Sadness

I saw him the other day, for the last time.
He died yesterday. I miss him...
He meant that anyone could be happy.
He meant that life is good.
He knew everything was alright.
I hope he knows I miss him...
I hope he knows I care...
I hope he knows I wish I was there, instead of him.
On the walk home just now, from his funeral.
I found a white angel feather, floating on the breeze.
And then a loss so profound brought me to my knees.
How could you be dead and gone? Leaving me alone.
How can you leave my heart like this, to cast itself in stone.
I suppose that's what happens when an angel cries.
I suppose that's what happens when everyone you love dies...


So Simple

Kiss my lips, hold me tight
Wrap me in warm love
We'll dive bravely into
The sea of ecstasy
Where the tempest will
Welcome our new endeavor
Another puzzle for us
It all seems so simple
But I kiss you,
The world takes on new detail
And at the same time dulls,
So far beyond comprehension
Maybe it's because I truly love you
That seed has grown
Into a true love


Tears of Rain

Let the rain wash away these tears...
Let the cold hold my body
Let my soul breathe for a new love
Let me relinquish my love for another
Let my tears disappear
My feelings fall away
Let me not care anymore, not about him
Let me fill myself with empty feelings of worry and hope
Let me forget him.
But I can't...I love him...
With every inch of my soul, every fiber of my being
I love him, until the end of time, Even if that means waiting


Why?

Why, every time I feel happy
Is it taken away?
Why, every time I feel loved
My heart stolen from me?
Into the dark night again
Searching for a true love
A love, to feel safe
To be at ease, pain free
Why must I lie,
To those who care?
Why do I see,
The world of truth?
Beneath this skin
Of deception and malevolence
Why must I dream of truth
And innocence and never be so?
Now I lay in my tears
Writing in my crimson ink
To wash out every memory of old
Let me die and be at peace
Let me die and be at peace

I love the imagery and power of your words. I also like that they're free verse. My favorite would probably be Figuratively Speaking or Loaded Gun Complex None of them seem forced or choppy to me, so that's very good. Keep writing, you've got an amazing talent. 3nodding
