Plastic Edges
So here is my poetry and possibly prose (I'm not sure if it's allowed or not) so I would love it if you read, commented, and critiqued.
Note that there is also some lyrics, so some verses might be repeated in pieces. |
The dove stole a glance through
The glass glistening in the sun She saw a human she once knew Trapped in a cage, locked up tight Begging for forgiveness for what it'd done But what harm did that human ever do? |
She sees her sad reflection
Through the bubble rising slowly Pop, they suddenly disappear Leaving no tracks behind She skipped through solid concrete Soft as grass between her toes Before she left, she erased the chalkboard Never to be found I miss that little girl Her smile never fake Red roses at her doorstep Dead and out of place |
Disguised white picket fences
Just painted black All the sane pretense All the same results Cookie cutter gory Just filed sharp All the same story All the same ending White puffy clouds just some more thunder All the same doubt All the same fear That's the way things are around here No one dates stray From the main road Everyone's the same here |
Something is not right here
Everything she said was never, ever true She spent all her time counting lies by two Just shut your mouth and hush, dear Tracing, losing feeling od all things near No matter what happens you will always lose Erasing from the chalkboard, everything she knew Her bud never really bloomed Collecting endless dew Given her liscense, she could never steer All this she sees through tears |
I've rebuilt this shelter
Though I can't fix the cracks Dust collects in the corners As they've turned their backs But the walls are still stable The roof is still there There's no doors or windows Not an ounce of outside to spare I'm sprawled on the floor I'm scrawled on the walls My energy has evaportated Too weak to even crawl I think of flying out of here Of smashing these bricks But like most things I've known This is not easily fixed So will you lend me your strength Your courage, your wings Then the joys of freedom will ring |
Go ahead
Roll the dice again Just one more time my friend Tempts the evil snake eyes Kiss everything goodbye Go ahead Waste it all away One, two, three months pay Com'on just one more game One more fortune down the drain |
And if I cried my heart out
Would you even care Things go torn between us And I can't run anywhere So you go on Forget me Forget the things you meant to me But I can't So I'll sing this song For every thought you never knew And if I died tomorrow Would you even care Lies got told between us You were never really there (for me) So I'll go on I'll hate you Hate the things you mean to me So I'll sing this song For every tear I've shed for you And if I loved you I know you wouldn't even care |
I'm tired of this prison cell
The nurse in my head's not well She's too busy running round Trying to fix my broken crown I should be the one out there Making all the rules Instead I'm stuck inside my head Just wishing to get out But you're the one who holds the key Don't be shy, come rescue me I'll be forever in your debt Until your last fated breath I can't stand these four walls They're holding me back from my call Just unlock those iron gates And leave me to my destined fate Hurry up and set me free So I can find the real me |
Are you hiding?
We all are I built myself a fort For excitement I jump from its walls I learned to accept the fall I never expected someone to catch me But I was wrong And know I've fallen for you Are you afraid? We all are Fear of the future And my own two hands I know I can't meet everyone's demands Then you came along And my life was no longer bland And now I fear losing you Are you real? They all claim to be I didn't believe I have trouble with trust The misery seemss to be a must Then a miracle happened And you became all I could think of And now I believe you Most of them aren't What you might think Underneath the seams We're really falling apart We need someone to sew us back together I need someone like you |
I can you feel my heart break
Just from standing next to you Can you feel my earth quake Everytime you say 'I love you too' Don't you know what's at stake If my wish does come true I'm standing here with arms outstretched I hope you'll catch me when I descend We're terrified and shaking Past being scared But where ever you wil roam I will follow you there |
The air smelt of heartbreak
My lips tasted fake Their venom sparkled in the light You were infected from the start I cake myself in make-up Attempting to hide my inner hideousness The monster smiled at me in the mirror Why couldn't you believe me when I warned you? (Why couldn't you see her too?) I turn the knob, feeling the water pummel against my skin (Oh how I wish it had been raining bullets instead) I didn't remove the mess on my face I was hoping it would streak down my cheeks to replace my absence of tears Even with the storm over, my eyes themselves had darkened Just hours ago I sat with you Though neither of us were truly there Merely two empty exo-skeletons knotted together in the master web (Though I'm starting to suspect that you had planned this all along) I stared into your eyes and they shone with love But I could not see myself reflected in them You held me close and told me that you loved me It always took me a moment to respond Said that you never wanted to lose me But that last embrace felt like goodbye Whenever you announced your dedication to me I felt what I mistook as a pang of love in my chest But I know now that it was an anticipation of guilt Because deep down, I always knew I would end up doing this to you For I am selfish and weak My heart fell with a thud and sank (It was just full of lead anyways) By now I've dedicated quite a few poems in your name I'm sorry to conclude that this one contains the most truth |
At the rate that I'm going, I can't just stand by
So I'll just take a ladder and climb to the sky Step by step, ring by ring I'll move further away from everything But even on cloud nine I still have my tears Afraid of falling back down to my fears The way I've been living, I feel like a ghost Wandering around miserably, with no antidote With nothing to dull the thoughts of my mind When it all comes down, at least I can say that I tried |
Like a stain glass window
With nothing there He could shatter to pieces Yet feel no despair Lost are his feelings No where to be found It's a miracle he still lives on When all his emotions lay gone Numb is the pain and dry are the tears Dull is his mind, and unknown are his fears Try as he might, he can't replace Those feelings that neve existed But I know, deep down in his soul He lies alone brokem and twisted Sometimes its better to pretend to be deaf to the answer When in reality, it rings as clear as a bell Like a stain glass window With something actually there He could shatter to pieces Yet hide his despair Lost are his feelings But can surely be found It's a miracle he still lives on When all his emotions seem gone I saw through his mask Maybe he has a heart afterall |
skin crawling to escape
nothing but your voice can make that scream go off in my mind i cant think, no i cant find myself anymore in this mess struggling just to forget these dreadful events ever happened that smells of foul burning ashes reeks of the dead, the tortured soul you eyes flashed red then went dull claws stretched forward to rip out more flesh, white to the bone i wish i couldve better known myself before this fate on this fatal date then slowly i awoke just to find it was all a joke my eyes opened, bloodshot stare right in front of me, the real nightmare *Note: This poem was meant to be written without punctuation for effect, not because I simply neglected to use proper punctition |
Let's make history
A silent scream in time record me n the books So they can see I tried Write down all the facts Nothing but the lies Misjudge me and move on So they can't see I tried No amount of knowledge Will be enough To save yourself To fix you up You're already miles from repair You fall dowm and lose again When all's messed up Why should you even care Let's play irony You can be the knife I'll be te skin So they can see the slice Paint a picture in dark crimson But it won't affect the dice Show off the stitches So they can't see my life No amount of medication Will be enough To save yourself To fix you up You're already miles from repair You fall dowm and lose again When all's messed up Why should you even care |
Tainted windows
cover up the All time lows, oh Foggy mirrors hide the beast And the fear It's time to shatter all the glass There's no turning back The city lights are calling our names So we can't delay No time to waste Wilted roses Strewn on the floor Still hold their pose Trails of tears Marked by All the years It's time to throw away the past There's no turning back The future is calling out our names So we can't delay No time to waste *Note: I'm sorry for the repetition of the verse, it is more of lyrics |
You fall, I follow
Like two peas in a pod, We both get eaten and swallowed Together Two footsteps One after the other We both trip and fall into the depths Together Our fates intertwined Knotted and tangled tight We both got twisted inside Together |
Two souls, two fates
Ond bond just waiting to break As your web of lies grew thicker You wound me up and pulled the trigger It's a little late for regrets now You can call it what you will But while you were flattened in battle I was the pme to rise above, to prevail I watched as you ran ahead Only to be bounced back again It really is a shame That there can only be on winnner in this game You can call it what you will But while you flattened in the battle I was the one to rise above, to prevail Suprised by this outcome? So am I But when the rain (when the pain) came down I got soaked, while you ran inside It's a little late for regrets now Look who got the upper hand It pays to play in the dirt rarther than the sand You might get a little messy, but that's exacttly the plan You can call it what you will But while you were so caught up in your haste I kept a steady pace and slowly won the race While you read the definitions straight from the book But while you marched right on through And keot a tidy trail I explored around, I learned how to prevail It's way too late for regrets now |
When everything I've been fed and taught
It was all lies All lies Give me one good reason Why I should even try Even try I thought you'd be there with me Through thick and thin So I though But I guess you didn't have What it takes to stick it out 'til the end So I guess It's true I might've been living in pain Living in pain But I'm sure that I was more sane Than you Maybe we weren't really destined But it's okay cause I've learned my lesson I was much better on my own I should've known Better So far I've mended my torn heart And celebrated the time we spent apart Who would've believed this would happen to us Stupid me for accepting your fake trust Remember you're the one who put this on yourself Put this on yourself Maybe you should've thought before you spoke Before you spoke But it's too late I already know it was all a hoax All a hoax Now I'm drowning in my returning fears Returning fears But it's better than wasted tears Over you Maybe we weren't really ever destined But it's okay because I've learned my lesson I'm so much better off on my own I should've known, better So far I've mended my torn heart And celebrated the time we spent apart Who would've believed this would happen to us Stupid me for accepting your fake trust Forever isn't as long as it used to be i hoped you've learned your lesson Thanks for adding to increasing atrophy So far I've mended my torn heart And celebrated the time we spent apart Who would've believed this would happen to us Stupid me for accepting your fake trust When everything I've been fed and taught It was all lies All, it was all lies |
School, another worrd for my distraction
Because I know that I'll never meet your satisfaction I try to focus on other things in life But then I'm home again and forced to open up my mind My thoughts that I was avoiding catch up And now I have to face the truth I'll never be good enough for you No matter how hard I try You will always have another standing in my way But I don't have the strength to push or shove I guess I'm just not good enough Your life pulshes forward unaffected You'll never know how your words made me feel Not what you said, but you didn'y mention Didn't really seem to care, can't see the rising tension Sure I'll pretend to smile And you'll return the grin and think I'm fine Unaware that it's a lie But I'll let you think that If it makes it easier for your happiness And now I have to face the truth I'll never be good enough for you No matter how hard I try You will always have another standing in my way But I don't have the strength to push or shove I guess I'm just not good enough I know that I've run out of time So much for being fine |
Wishes fade, promises break
For every action you fo A consequence you must take It's hard to believe That you used to be there for me I've noticed lately that it seems I'm the only one whose pain won't recede Cause I've had these notions deep down in my soul Visions of a world where truth was all told Drifting and fading are hopes for the future When all else is lost What is the point Of searching for some unkwnown belief Friendships will crumble And lies will be told How long til the chaos unfolds? |
Rambled words
That I cannot hear I wish you the best Hope you don't die Drenched in your own tears Uttered excuses The walls close in When will you understand You're being eaten alive Faster than you can mend Wasted apoligies I'm not the person You should apoligize to Look in the mirror Staring back is the one Laugh it off Pretend your fine But don't forget Your own body Ends up paying for your crimes |
A life so wasted
A life so misued A life that I certainly wouldn't approve All those lies that you live with All that trust you can't recliam Your train of though ran off-course again Please don't go Back away from that line you almost crossed Don't give in yet, all hope is not lost Cause I'm here for you I'll fight your battles that you can't survive on your own I'll protect you from those feelings that the world doesn't know I'm willing to bend til I break just to see you smile Cause I care for you And I can't stand to see that pain on your face I'll help you find your way A life so wasted A life so misused A life that I've lived before All those lies that I lived with All that trust I couldn't recliam I'm trying to help you get back on your feet again Please don't go Together we'll jump over that like that you nearly crossed We'll run around in circles but not get lost Cause we're in this together I'll fight beside you in battles that you can't survive on your own I'll share with you those feelings that the world doesn't know I'm wiling to bend til I break just to see you smile Cause I care for you And I can't stand to see that same pain on your face Your life is my stencil, from which I trace Oh please don't go Cause I care, I care for you And I can't stand to see that grief on your face Your life is my stencil, that I will never erase I'm here to help you find your way Find your way home |
Oh sorry, I dented you again
Sorry, I was just following the trend But I promise, no more lame excuses I know now that haste makes you useless It was my mistake this time For letting it get this far It's my fault for not tryinh When I could've stopped this all Now I don't expect You to fprgive me I used to live just beneath the surface When pleasing you was my sole purpose But I broke through the tension I no longer need your redemption It was my mistake this time For letting it get this far It's my fault for not tryinh When I could've stopped this all Oh sorry, I bent you again Sorry, I was just defying the trend But I promise, no more lame excuses I know now that waiting makes you useless It was your mistake this time For letting it get this far It's your fault for not tryinh When you could've stopped this all And now you expect Me to forgive you It's okay, we all make mistakes sometimes |
