Re: My writing .. er .. things


Hidden

You pass me by
So carelessly
You've made the choice
Not to see
See me, that is
See all that I am
I'm so well hidden
By many things
Shadows, light
Lies, truth
Hate, love
Death, life
The barrier is too thick to distinguish them all
And these are the most obvious
The most used
The most viewed
They cover me completely
Hiding me well
Keeping me hidden
In my own mind
Lost in myself
For an eternity
Or so it seems
An infinite solitude
An infinite silence
An infinite nirvana
For the voices in my head have abandoned me
Keeping me alone
And hidden..
I'm as silent as that mind
And I move no more, no less
I've been taken over
Even though I am alone
And hidden..
Taken over by the souls of the night
Their call seduced me into this shallow trance
And I like it
Being hidden, that is
No one bothers
No one cares
I am all to myself
And by myself
It's better that way
So then no one has to take their precious time to notice me
Oh no,
Heaven forbid anyone should do that
So I am just me, myself, and I
Hidden perfectly in the folds of all that I am
Good...

Re: My writing .. er .. things


I can't see it all
I can't feel it all
I don't know what it takes
The time is ticking slower now
And it's written in my face

It slowly eats away
At every last bit
Consuming every piece
And yet at
The same time
It's a horrible release

I sit there alone
Staring down the clock
Wishing it move quicker
The pain sears
Into my mind
With every last faint 'ticker'

I wait here
For one small word
Or any bit of acknowledgement
But if it's meant that
I'll never get it
Every minute is one wasted and spent

I'm Still Here

I'm not going to let you do this to yourself
I told you once before, and once is enough
Stop trying to act so powerful
I won't laugh, let your emotions flow
You cant hang onto them forever, they'd swallow all of you
It's hard to do, this I know
No, I won't let you block this...
The pain is immence, I can just tell
I'm not stupid you know
Talk to me, let me in
I could help you try to win
This battle with yourself has gotton severe
And I'm still here, I'm still here...
You can't throw me away or push me aside
I'm just trying to help you keep all that you've got
So stop it, stop doing this to yourself
Stand back and open your eyes
Start to ascend the truth from the lies
Prove to yourself that there is something there
Something that's worth keeping alive
Because I know there is...
I'm still here

Sadness. What is it exactly?
Is it a gateway to something even more horrible?
Could be
Depends on what you make of it
Horror. Happiness. Tragedy. Light.
They're all options to make your life worse, or better
Sometimes it just feels like something's missing
You feel hollow, like something isn't there
But you need it, or you feel you do, to make you happy again, or for the first time
Some people have been swallowed up by their own darkness
Sometimes it makes you feel like you're invisible, just an onlooker to the show of life
Just standing there
Doing nothing
Letting life pass you by so carelessly
It slips from your grasp and you fall
You fall into the depths of darkness, the depths of sadness, the depths of immortality
And you stay there locked up in your emotions, if you're lucky to have any
You feel safe inside yourself, alone, in your own world
It's easier then, or it feels that way
That hollow space has been filled, temporarily
You chose what you chose, and there's no turning back

Knowing


I sit here thinking about you
Over, and over
Thoughts of you run through my head non-stop
I long to tell you those words that haunt my mind everyday

I know I can't
I know I shouldn't
I know I wouldn't

I know I should
I know I want to
I know I could

But I don't

I fear the worst
I always have
I always will

I know I should take a chance
Even if you accept it and then throw it aside

But I won't

I can't bring myself to do it
For your sake, and mine

It pains me inside whenever I think of you
Knowing you'll never know
Knowing what I'm keeping back
Knowing that I should open up myself to you

But I don't

Loving You


Every passing day
I miss you more and more
In every single way
My heart feels like its torn

It feels like you're gone
You left me here to die
I lie here on the floor
You didn't even say good-bye

My own tears surround me
Every single one has a reason
Everything that you've done for me
Ended up in a hopeless treason

I can't believe this happened
My world feels numb and hollow
Without you here by my side
My life feels like it's been swallowed

I Wish I Could


I wish that I could tell you
Tell you the way I feel
But that would just hurt more
More than it already does
It's just so tempting to speak those three words
The three words that could change everything
I can't and I won't
I'm terrified to
Scared of what might be said in responce
Scared of what might happen after
Scared of losing you
That is what I fear most
Losing you...
Then those words would never be heard
I would regret not saying a thing
Not letting you in on my own little secret
I'd be scared even more
My stomach would ache like it already does
My world would tumble down greatly
I would be waiting for the hell to freeze over
But it would just burn harder...

Time


Slowly moving ahead
Gradually slipping away
Growing older with every passing second
Taking us to a new day

With every one
It sheds a new light
It could be full of happiness
It could be full of fright

The only way we will find out
The only way we will know
Is just to sit patiently
And wait, to go

To go ahead with life
To go ahead without
To leave what yesterday left behind
Without a single doubt

So come on, and take my hand
We'll flee this space in time
And move ahead, to another
And let our lives unwind

Erin i have to say when i read your poems i am blown away by the talent, they flow so well and all have a meaning yet when i read them i can associate them with something that happened in my life. They are well written and you really are a natural poet keep it up i still love that one the best though 'i'm still here' its a great poem
