Why am I with you?"Why am I with you?"
A question you seem to ask a lot
Many answers can fall under

Was it your face?
The way you laugh?
How you look for the best of me?

Is it your personally?
The way that we are different in many ways but we still work it out
But yet on a deeper level are the same

Is it that I still love you?
Even when my heart is fill with anger or when I was just cranky
I still try to see though and think back to the girl that was so innocent

Beginnings were rough for us
You know that, I know that
It is good to have reminder once in a while that we still care to one another

But now I walk alone on this road of broken dreams
Where
Nightmares Kill FaithWaking up late at night
Crying because you have no sight,
Darkness whistles like a piercing screech
And your ears wish to hear the sound of speech.

They wish they could hear those special words,
"It will be okay you'll be saved by the lord"
But really you will lay there so cold and alone
Learning that when it's over there will be no home.

You fall back to sleep and your eyes become heavy
The nightmare comes back and the tears break the levy,
You cry and you wish that sleep would soon come
But as long as you feel there is no hope
You'll sit there lifeless and tie up the rope.
BurialThe mud caked my fingernails.
My hair slipped from inside my hood,
blowing across my face.
The wind shifted the leaves on the ground—
a collage of yellow, red, and brown—
and the earth crawled around me.
The rain fell hard
and the wet grass grabbed at my ankles.

The hole I dug with my own two hands
was between two trees where you and I
used to sit and talk about superheroes,
videogames and high school bullies.
I thought the location fit.

I pulled from my coat pocket
the heart necklace you gave me
the year before you said goodbye
and drove off, leaving skid marks
on the vacant street.
I dropped my heart into
How Dare You?How Dare you suck out the strength in my limbs?
How Dare you distract me in lectures with a look,
A flicker of interest?
How Dare you smile knowingly at me, as broadly
As the ocean?
How Dare you know I'd do anything for you?
How Dare you wring my heart in my chest ruthlessly,
And make my cheeks burn?
How Dare you call my name, your tongue tethering to it
As if it were your own?

How Dare you?

How Dare you entice my ears with your jokes, your laugh? "You get to hear my
Droning voce," you say as you glance my way.
How Dare you twist my emotions into a salad of anxiety
And anticipation?
How Dare you holster down that which is sava
Safe and SoundI remember tears streaming down your face
When I said, I'll never let you go
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, Don't leave me here alone
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight

How could I have been so stupid? How could I have been so dumb? How could I forget? I lay slumped in the hallway. Tears fell down my pale face from my bright blue eyes. He knocked on the door and came in. His perfect lips formed an 'O' shape as he saw my state. His arms wrapped around me instantly and he whispered in my long blonde hair "I'm never going to let you go. I promise it's going to be okay." I held my hand open
I'm afraidI'm afraid

I'm afraid of failure,
Of disappointing,
Seeing those ashamed looks on their faces,
Because I know I'm not good enough,
I'm afraid, very afraid,

I'm afraid of speaking my mind,
For I know that others will ruthlessly speak theirs,
And I know their words are going to hurt me,
But I won't have the heart to hurt them back,
I'm afraid, very afraid,

I'm afraid of the future,
Because I don't know where I shall be,
Or what I shall do,
I'm still trying to piece my puzzle together,
I'm afraid, very afraid,

I'm afraid of success,
For with this comes jealousy,
And with jealousy comes lust for hurt,
Nothing good can possibly
HopeHope is just the lies
I tell myself
Hope tells me tomorrow
Will be better then today
So I don't cry myself to sleep
Hope whispers that next time
I'll do things right
When I only make it worse
Hope says that everything will be alright
When I know it won't be
Hope promises that there is a perfect
Person for me and that one day
I'll find that person
Hope shouts that one day
I'll do great things
And will always be rememebered
So that I'll never truely die
Hope sings of a better place
When there isn't one
Hope mocks that it could be worse
But most of the time
I'd do anything to not be me
Hope is merely a lie
But that's oka
Before she says goodbyeBefore she says goodbye
Slam the door in my face
And a dozen roses laying on the floor

Before she says goodbye
I told her I loved her
But it was too late, she already hung up

Before she says goodbye
Give her a kiss
To make up the times that you made her cried

Before she says goodbye
She said we were made for each other
But she let go and fell into pieces

Before she says goodbye
I wanted a second chance
To hold you in my arms once again

Before she says goodbye
She asked you
"Why you even try anymore? It is unless, you can't get back what you already loss."

Before she says goodbye

Poem: Hold OnHold On

I heard you crying last night
Did you stop trying last night?
You scream there is nothing left
You say there is nothing inside

You used to fly up so high
But you fell to pieces in the sky
You let go of your faith
And threw away your dreams
Try and find something left for us

I'll turn the lights out
Sleep for tonight
I have to leave,
So goodbye
You have to face this alone
You need to build your strength
You lost faith in me
And gave up
You know there is nothing
Left of us

You say it's too late
And nothing hurts
The feelings will come
And some will burn
But some will heal
If you keep strong
You won't hurt anymo
FearOpen your eyes to face your fears.
let your heart sill, don't despair

Deep inside, you know you can't hide
danger hangs around, side by side.

You want to call for help, but... who?
No one is coming to rescue you.

You'll have to face, you'll have to fight,
deal with the shadows of the night,

be the winner of the game
- while mysterious voices utter your name.

Not a witch, a werewolf, a ghost...
This is exactly what you fear the most,

much scarier than all the rest.
You feel your heart heavy in your chest.

Enveloped in dread, you feel like blind,
someone is playing with your mind.

Then you know, you don't have a clue,

AliveThey pointed and laughed at her,
Because she smiled between each second,
Because she laughed between each page,
Because she danced between each step.

They laughed, and they stared,
Because they didn’t understand
The jokes she heard in the birds’ songs,
She happiness she found in every note.

They didn’t hear the lullaby
That the wind sang with each breeze,
Or the stories the trees told
With every rustling leave.

The relief at having survived
Yet another night, another day.
The joy at being outside
Of the hospital’s gloomy walls.

They didn’t know the fear
And the sorrow she had suffered,
When her parents had
ExcusesAs I rise from my grave,
The place you had thought of
As my eternal resting place,
I see you turn pale with shock
Mumbling inextinguishable words.

Excuses flowing out of your mouth
As a river races
To leave behind the mountain
That gifted him with life.

Because you know the question
That rules my mind and heart,
That forces me to return
To the cold, bloody world
That I thought I'd left forever.

Was the fight worth my death?
Mine, and all those others,
Whose corpses still scatter the fields,
Unrecognizable skulls and bones
Soon to be buried without a name.

Of course, you answer,
Not once meeting my eyes.
The fight was imp
Pride of a Nationfear coalesced with doubt, crystallizing in the pit of her
stomach—intestines rotting with hatred, she prayed as
the men passed by, eyes tightened against winter winds
while drums beat to a somber march…her heart dropped,
cerulean blood pooling around the soles of her feet, hidden
from the oxygen filled air none of them could help but breathe
as the torches’ fire filled the sky and knapsacks overran with
precious goods…flee the city, they all did, with the pride of Russia
behind them, their homes lay as ashes and towns known only by
their wooden signs…snow shrouded the land and covered the people

One Day It'll Make SenseI hope that one day it'll all make sense,

But until then I'm stuck living in the past-tense,

This isn't my choice, it's against my will,

Because I can't tell my brain how to feel,

They say we grow from our life experiences,

But I'm struggling to do that, in all seriousness,

People tell me that I have a beautiful skill,

That I can make one feel my mind by words that are real,

But lately I find it to be more of a burden,

Thoughts that I can't stop from turning,

One day...I hope not so far away,

I just may...actually make it, to their dismay.

Hold OnSeems like nobody cares anymore
Days go by and I am stuck in the same place as yesterday
Locked in this cage

In a endless loop of disappointment and lost
All I can do is to hold to the dream
Just hold on and believe

I know the road is hard but a day will come
Today may be long but tomorrow will come
I just need to hold and believe

Weeks have gone by
I still hold on
To that dream

But that dream went up into flames
I thought it will never turned this way
But all I can do is to hold on

What is left of me?
What I can pull out of this rubble?
Burned up in flames

A lifetime of effort, gone in a flash
I feel no pain or numbness
Just feel
There is a PlaceThere is a place
A special place, where plans are crashed and
Dreams come true

A place where
I would want to be forever
But I can't reach it

I see it everyday
I can't move closer
Because I am trapped

Trapped within my own memories
Moments of pain and suffering
Would it ever end?

I can't do this alone
But then you appear
With a smile on your face every time

Always wondered what made you happy
Till you told me
"I am happy because you make me happy."

You hugged me for a long time
What ran though my mind started to make sense
My pain and suffering was drifting away

There was someone who care enough
Someone who want
She Will Be LovedShe was only sixteen beautiful as can be
She had some trouble with herself
Who she was and what to change about her?
People were there to help
But no one wanted to step up  

I walked for miles and miles,
Just for you to see her smile  
But I know deep down you didn't loved me
She is cold as can be
I know someday you will accept me

Everyday spend waiting
Trying to make her love me but nothing
Looking at her, in her eyes just to see if she had a change of heart
And ask her if she loved me
And she said
"I don't love"

A tear ran down my face, a broken heart
I wanted to lift up her eyes  
But

Wait For Me

:iconjjwkv:

Do you see the world in different colours ? Or do you see the world in black and grey?
Alone in your thoughts
How many others have stand where you are today?

Just wait for me now
A safe return is all I want
Break from all these chains

All these roads that I have taken led me to nowhere
Left me here standing at life's edge
There is just one thing left to ask, just wait for me

Broken mirrors can't hide from my shame
It has been years
Shattered into a million pieces
Wait for me there is still time

I haven't gotten back on my feet
I have hit rock bottom
The only way now is to go up
Please wait for me

But I will ask you once more,
Will you wait for me?
Only time could tell

Down into a deep spiral
There is no turning back
Just driving myself into a grave
Won't you wait for me?

Will there be a hand to save?
Or just turn a blind eye to my call?
And I shall wait for your answer
:iconjjwkv:
Just wait for me...

Here's a bit of technical stuff that should be fixed: in the third line, it should be stood, not stand :P. And in the ending, where it says "Will there be a hand to save? Or just turn a blind eye to my call?" in my opinion you should make the tenses and grammar structure (or whatever the term is) the same. Parallelism.

Other than that, I like it :)

I keep reading this poem over and over again and I discover new things each time! I really love this, it describes hidden feelings, it's emotional, but it's still the truth.
