I Tear My Heart OpenI tear my heart open.
For only you it will bleed.

My heart, as open as my mind.
Ready to accept you.
To cherish you.
To be consumed by you.

I tear my heart open,
My love. My desire.
For only you it will bleed.

Without you,
My heart bleeds from its depths.
With you,
My heart bleeds eternal devotion.

I tear my heart open.
For only you it will bleed.

Eyes bloodied.
Blinded by your lust.
Stricken with your want.
Your greed.

I tear my heart open...
For only you, it will bleed.

The QuietDo you see this body
With etched on lines framing my eyes
When I smile
Or frown
This extra luggage
Around my middle weighing me down
Pounds of flesh
Wide platypus feet
Gray that I try to hide
The windows of my soul are grimy
Teeth that are stained from too many cigarettes
And coffee
Hair that is chopped off short
So that I look like a boy
An eyebrow ring
Tattoos
See me
Not conforming
To a society that is starched white
With pleats
I am woman
I spit at injustice
Hear the voice that I speak
It comes from many years on this earth
I am more than this body
There is no truth to an unkind justice
Do not be blind

EmptinessFeeling empty...
Feeling cut off from everything else...
There's those times when
You just have to stand up,
Walk away, and be alone...

The little feeling
That something's missing.
The tug of loneliness
Pulling on the chain
Of the collar I'm wearing.

The shackles of dread
And despair keeping me
From running away...
The handcuffs of fear
Stopping me from fighting back.

There's nothing left to do
But to stand off
In the distance...
Staring blankly ahead
At the moving faces.

This empty shell doesn't
Feel pain...
It doesn't feel happiness...
But I know one thing...
This soul does.

I wish...
I wish...
I wish for someone

AddictedAddicted

I'm addicted to a drug
a drug so intense
that it doesn't make sense
a drug you don't easily get
a drug revealing regret

I'm addicted to a drug
a drug I need every day
a drug which makes me pay
a drug allowing my heart to feel
and ignoring things that are real

I'm addicted to a drug
a drug I'm starting to hate
but can't get off it, it's too late
a drug I finally regret taking
a drug which keeps my body heavily shaking

I'm addicted to a drug
a drug causing me immense pain
though it's just so little, simple and plain
a drug I traded for everything I had
a drug which can only be found inside my head

Lie To MeFingertips lace around my ribs
And pull at my skin
As my breath catches
At the coolness of your touch.

Calm these trembling hands
And hold them tight in yours.
I'll move my lips on yours
Just so you don't have to.

Hearts beat faster and
My breath shudders with insecurity.
Press my body close to yours
So I don't shatter into fragments.

Lie to me one more time.
Tangle your legs in mine,
Brush your lips along my neck.
Make me feel alive.

SeptemberI don't know why,
I still break down and cry,
At times I find myself,
Wanting to shout out for help,
I want to tell you that I love you, but I don't know,
I just don't know if what we had before is possible,

I hope that you'll always remember me,
And the good times that came to be,
Forget the arguments and the fights,
Step out of the shadows and walk into the light,

Maybe one day we'll talk again,
Forgive each other for our sins,
Until then I'll hold it all in,
Because sometimes it takes two to begin,

Honestly, I just want this month to be over,
As days go by I can feel my heart grow colder,
This would've been two years togeth

We Are StrongWe are strong.
We are amazing.
We are beautiful.
And no one can change that.

Who are we?
We are the outcasts.
The freaks.
The ones no one cares about.

Separate, we are powerless.
Powerless to anything they want to do.
But together, we are strong.
Stronger than the largest army.

Stronger than a crashing wave.
Faster than a hurricane.
More agile than the wind.
And smarter than... them.

Together, we are strong.
That's why they cast us aside,
To keep us from eacother.
But when we reach another...

We explode with power.
Minds joining together.
Breaking the walls set up
By those who keep us apart.

When we finally find eachot

Waiting For YouHere I stand,
Tears streaming down my face.
There you go...
Walking away...

Will I ever see you again?
You said you loved me...
I said I loved you back.
But here you go and leave me...

As I cry, I make a promise.
A promise to never leave.
To always be right here...
Waiting for you.

Crying, I lock my feet.
I won't move from this spot.
Because I'll be right here,
Waiting for you.

Can you see my pain,
The anguish from you leaving?
Because it's all welling up...
Begging you to stay.

But as you insist on moving on,
Heading off somewhere...
Remember that I love you,
And I'll be here, waiting.

When you return,
For I know you

Do I Matter?Do I even matter anymore?
He's abandoned me...
She's left me for dead.
They've beaten me down again...
Remind me why I'm still here...

I'm just a humble being
With simple beginnings...
And yet everyone hates me.
Why is this...?
I did nothing wrong.

They don't seem to notice
The skills I possess...
I'm better than some of them,
But the rest take no notice.
I'm an outcast in this land.

I'm the one survivalist
Who still roams this land...
Searching for a place to call
My own. A place...
Where I'm accepted.

But for now... I roam.
Roam free, no one beside me.
But do I even matter...
Do I matter anymore?
Because I don't see

Monster Or NotMonster or not...
Would you still accept me?
If I turned insane...
Would you still be with me?
Because it might happen one day...

These... marks on the table...
Were they from me?
Those cuts on my wrists...
Did I make them...?
What's happening to me?

Every day I wake up
And notice something new.
Be it something about me...
Or something about you.
And it's fascinating.

When it's me...
When I'm the one who's different.
I often wonder...
What's happening...?
What's wrong with me...?

But when it's you...
You seem more distanced.
Distracted... always...
Spacing out, twirling your hair.
And it worries me.

Would you continue

Notice MeNotice me...
Sitting here,
Eyes closed,
Tears flowing.

I'm down here...
Down in pain.
You can't see
All of my scars.

My pain is different.
It's not physical
Like those cuts and bruises.
So you can help...

You can help
Take the pain away.
By being there for me;
By being the one who loves me.

Please take the pain away...
It's unbearable...
But if you can't...
If the pain can't be driven of...

Please at least...
Notice me.

in my handsseems there's something more to this
but you just roll over and pretend this
is just another page to another chapter
written in a book, once finished, will no longer matter

i came for something
what brought me to this room?
lost and oblivious, i stare at you
silent, words drown in our defunct home

if i could borrow another minute
and apologize, i'd never be able to replace
the look in your eyes, when our love died
when our love died
in my hands

i've put everything in this world down
set it all aside, i have nothing but myself
and that's enough to break me down
faithless and hopeless, i see all the wrong faces

TemptedOne day,
The devil tried to tempt me.
Tempt me into something I didn't want.
I asked to not be hurt,
I asked to be left alone.
Instead the devil pushed himself on me.
He wanted me to become vulnerable.
He wanted to see me hurt.

But his overwhelming powers,
Were more then I could stand.
He temped me to join him,
In my very own hell.

He got under my skin,
Knowing things about me that most people don't.
He made me care,
When I shut my heart off to everyone.

One day he found someone better than I,
And he left me to be,
With my broken heart,
And with all of my secrets,
I had nothing left.

I came back up to the surface,
And ha

A Lesson Never LearnedAs the beaten,
Battered,
Exhausted old man
Bow for forgiveness...

He already knew...
There wouldn't be any.
The griffon that stood
Before him did so with a presence.

Unlike the rest of it's kind,
This griffon commands the souls
Of mortals, leading them through
The lives they lead today.

And as he look down upon
The battered man...
He knew what must be done.
Knew the punishment to be served.

For a lesson never learned...
Can not go without
A fitting end at the hands...
Or rather... talons...

Of the teacher.

32. GoodbyeI am not available
I can't take your call
The phones broken
Smashed against the wall

The lines been cut
I couldn't pay the bill
I can't dial your number
The ring is too shrill

The buttons are all gone
I can't see straight
The cords tangled up
I picked it up too late

I can't talk to you
I have a bad connection
Your breaking up
Go in a different direction

I guess this is farewell
I guess this is goodbye
The cell towers have been knocked down
And my cells about to die

EmbraceThe first embrace...
The most magical
And heartwarming experience...
To be in the arms
Of the one you love.

But that...
That one embrace...
With that one person...
May never come...
For one like me...

This hard shell
Around my soul
Is not tender enough
To allow such nicety...
To show my feelings...

The cocoon of skin,
Flesh and blood,
Blood and bone...
Incapable of holding...
Unable to be held...

The only embrace,
I fear this body will have...
Is that with death...
But...
Would that really be so bad...?

EmptyI feel empty...
Void of life,
Void of meaning...
Half of what I should be...

There's only half...
Half of me in this shell.
The rest...
Is void of life...

This cry for help
Rings off deaf ears...
And bounces around
Here with me.

I hope my search...
For the one who completes me...
Comes to an end soon...
Because this shell is cold.

Half empty...
I float around,
For there is room enough
For me to do such...

But that one person...
The one to make me whole...
Will fill the void,
And keep me warm.

I will do the same
As best as I can...
Filling their void
Within their shell...

Holding them close
When the need comfort...

What Did I Do?

What did I do...
To have to sit here
And suffer...
Without you here
To comfort me...?

Did I make you mad?
Scare you away?
I didn't mean to hurt you
If I ever did
Such a thing...

But I sit here now...
In pain and suffering...
Having my soul burn away
Bit by painful bit...
And doing nothing.

On the outside...
I may seem fine.
But I'm far from it...
I'm burning up inside...
Dying without a trace.

I've been scarred,
And it's just now showing.
The first time
I've recognized this...
This internal wound...

There's so much pain...
That I don't know why...
Why I'm even still here...
Still alive...
And not six feet under...

DeathDeath...
It takes us all...
Makes us all prisoners
In the end...

Nothing we can do,
As humans or as beings,
Can avoid such a fate
As dying to whatever.

Death...
Sweeps over us all.
Young... old...
Big... Small...

Death doesn't care.
It takes who it does
For no reason.
But maybe...

Maybe there's a method
To Death's madness.
Payback for what someone did
In a previous life...

Or maybe,
For something they did
In that life.
No one can say for certain...

But one thing that
Anyone can say...
Is that Death take us all...
One day, we all fall.

That day may not be today.
It may not be tomorrow.
But when that day comes,

LiesLies...
Every word you say...
Every word...
You've ever said...

Lies, all of them.
Nothing you've said
Has been the truth.
And yet...

You expect me
To trust you?
What do you take me for,
A fool?

I've been cheated on,
Lied to,
And scarred far too much
To know a lier.

There's not a single gram
Of truth on your words.
Nothing but your
Petty little lies.

They can't save you
Now that I've exposed you.
Everyone knows now,
And they won't trust you.

No one will,
Not after what you've done.
Because behind your lies,
You've nothing to back them up.

Strip them away,
And you're nothing.
Nothing but a scared coward
Ready to

It's Easier To Cry In The RainIt's easier to cry
In the rain...
Because I'm broken,
And the drops
Hide my pain...

With every step I take,
Another crack appears.
With every breath I take,
Another scar appears...
Is this what you want?

I'm broken...
Useless...
Not worthy of anything.
A figment of what
I used to be.

I used to be able
To stand every day.
Stand tall and strong,
Ready to tackle the day...
But not anymore...

Over time...
I've been beaten...
I've been scarred...
Cuts and bruises appeared,
And their ghosts never left.

I'm here, crumpled...
Crying in the rain...
Dying in the rain...
And no one seems
To be interested in helping...

Won't

My Sanity

by ~WildFangWolf, Sep 14, 2012, 4:00:44 PM
Literature / Poetry / Emotional / Free Verse

The matter of my sanity
Is nothing for you to yearn.
Just something for me to know,
And for you to learn.

My mind is cracking,
The flaws becoming apparent.
My soul is shattering...
Splitting me into nothing.

But my bonds...
They hold me together.
They keep me stable...
Under control.

Like a light
In the darkest night,
They lead me to where
I should take residence.

Sheltering my soul,
My mind and my heart
From the evils forces at work...
Saving me from utter destruction.

My twin and my love,
The strongest of them all.
Holding me up
While I don't let them fall.

The matter of my sanity
Is nothing for you to yearn...
Just something for me to know,
And for you to learn.

Even though sometimes
I don't know where I stand...

I can always look around,
And see the ones I love.

With a smile on my face
And a passion in my heart...

The strength in my spirit
Even when I'm falling apart...

I can always be with them,
No matter where our shells lie.

So whatever happens,
Whenever time stops...

We never have to say goodbye.

Wrote this in my Geometry class today... *woo*

Could really focus on class the first 10-15 minutes, so this came out.
I already have a good grasp on what we're learning, even though we've only been going over it a day or so (angle pairs and whatnot).

*Safe-As-Houses Sep 14, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Love this... Very sweet! I really like the rhyming scheme at the beginning... I kinda wish it was like that all the way through, but that's probably my obsessive compulsive tendencies getting the better of me, hahaha! AWESOME LAST LINE, TOO.

~WildFangWolf Sep 14, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Thanks.

And... well... rhyming is just something that either comes or doesn't. If you try to force it... you're just going to end up messing with your natural flow.

*Safe-As-Houses Sep 14, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Yep!

True enough, sir.

Another person that writes in Geometry!

I really enjoyed your poem! It's well-written, and has a nice theme. Great work!

~WildFangWolf Sep 14, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Thank you, so much.

You're welcome!
