EngravedHe wrote his name on my heart
And claimed it as his own
My feelings, thoughts, opinions
They belonged to him

He took me under his control
Punished me when needed
Rewarded me when deserved
They told me to run away

But I couldn't
I couldn't
I loved him, see
Held me tight when I cried

When I was angry
When I was sad
When I was desperate
When I was hurting

He held me
He hit me
He kissed me
He bit me

But that's alright
Because he was as much mine
As I was his
Our names engraved on the other's soul

If Earth Ceases to TurnWhen hell freezes and heaven burns,
When mountains tumble and Earth ceases to turn,
Where will you stand?

When the oceans rise and wind roars,
When the walls tumble and each breath is war,
What will you do?

When madness descends and chaos reigns,
When the plight of man cannot remain,
How will you leave?

When the ground rolls and splits underfoot,
The forests and cities burn, covered with soot,
Will you run?

When screams can be heard under the falling sky
And the whole world looks out from dead-man’s eyes,
Who will you be?

SadnessSadness had always been an active resident in the places I had lived.
It swelled and breathed and scented the breeze like the dying petals of spring,
floating through open windowpanes and settling like dust on the empty shelves.
Sometimes it just appeared without visible entry like the cobwebs that roost in those corners you had thought so clean just a day ago. Or it unraveled in the morning dew and graced the cold spring skies, scattered like hundreds of wandering stars only visible in the light of a window.

It would melt into my morning tea, cooling the little tornadoes of cream and sugar that spun around my spoon and it would pass behi

Forbidden LoveStaring deep into your eyes I can see it
These feelings are so real they want to break free from my skin.
You can see right into me
I'm an open book to you.
Only You.
Your sky blue eyes pierce right to my heart
I could look into them all day.
But I cannot for love is forbidden.
And I know that this is love for they have taught me every feeling but this
It is more beautiful than any feeling I have ever felt
You take my hand and squeeze it tight
Knowing that they cannot erase our feelings
We hide together to talk all day
Afraid that they may find us
And wipe it away
But fear cannot destroy this feeling
I will break the law and L

LoveLet me love
Like the choice is mine
Don't choose my path
It's destined by the one above

Don't tell me yes or no
Just encourage me along the way
Don't say stop
Say go

Help me to think and be
But don't try to influence who I am
Don't try to correct my path
Just let me be me

You know I love you so
You know I always will
You know I mean forever
You know

Yet you still control my life
Every day the same old deal
Darling you're driving me insane
Depressed enough to take that knife

Thank you for attending
Please enjoy the appetizers
Everyone is happy
Even in the coffin, I am smiling

We stood at the altar
In the fresh aesthetics of spring
You took my hand in yours
And slid on that fateful ring

I wore a fair dress
Clothed in a flurry of white
The poison smile
On my wedding, the only blight

So beautiful it was
My dress stained red
Our passion unbidden
I took off your head

We promised love
Till death do us part
And it shall
For your head, take my heart

My dear, my darling
Forget me not
Honor our righteous vows
And love me till I rot

Blissfully content
We vowed forever
Let my love
Bury us together

Eternal sufferingshe looks at each tomb
she seeks the name of his first love

this man was nice and tender
he was aware of her past
he had never judged her crimes

kneeling before his grave, her hands immersed in this cursed land
she cries her sadness and her distress

I loved you, my angel
excuses me, I had not the choice
the abandonment was the only solution

Listen to the muttering of a dead heart~Lets just forget about each other
Lets walk separate paths down the road
If we go different ways we'll be better
And we won't have to act so icy cold

I'm starting to get used to
Being alone at night
I'm starting to get used to
Our difference in height

I don't really know your thoughts
I only know half of mine
But I like to pull away
And you don't seem to mind

Can I just keep my mouth shut though?
Can I keep going the way I am
With my head going through the clouds
And your feet firmly planted on land

I'm ready for an artificial life
And I'm ready for you to choose for yourself
I can't tell you to your face
But at least I am honest with mys

She Used to Love The RainIt's like winter.
Grey and quiet and distant.
It's all sharp edges and
there isn't anything beautiful
or soft.

Do you know the way the world falls silent?
Like holding your breath,
holding, holding...
Like not feeling oxygen grace your lungs
until the spring.

Autumn is all warm colors and cold winds,
but it all fades in a week or two.
And then the rain comes.
The rain that you wish was snow.
The rain that drips from barren branches
and collects in mud puddles that never
really sink into the frozen ground.
The rain that makes you remember
what you wish it made you forget.
The rain...

It's like missing you.

Missing you, an

Calm Before the StormKeep your ears open.
Keep your eyes peeled.
Do you see the stampede
penetrating the field?

It's coming for you
and for all you hold dear.
But just look through its walls-
Do you not see fear?

I hear the wind howl.
It rustles the leaves.
It sways the brittle branches
on the half-barren trees.

The enemy is coming forward.
I'm afraid it can see
my future, my whole life,
and all that's inside of me.

Just light a match
if the power goes out.
You will survive this,
I haven't a doubt.

I wish you good luck,
for I must leave now.
I swear I'll return,
I solemnly vow.

The night is all black.
the lights have gone dead.
I'm lighting a match..
See?

Dying to be BeautifulDying to be beautiful
How far does it go
How deep can it get
How dark can it pull

When nothing holds you together
But layers of makeup on sunken cheeks
And your bones so frail they
Shatter from sobbing
Your heart so weak
You cannot risk loving

Your world so painful,
Through gray misty eyes
From the outline of ribs
To the protruding bone spines
I clearly see, you’re dying
Yes, dying to be beautiful

I wish somebody would tell you
The secret of beauty
It comes from the heart
The inside out
Not the outside in

But still how far will you go
How deep will you get
How dark will you go
Until you realize
You’re dying
Just to be

ConfessionsMy throat is choking
Closing shut at the thought of these words
I'm choking on myself and I can't breathe

Although you're far away
I can still imagine you here
Where these words would choke me to silence

Tonight I'll use these fingertips
And send these thoughts intentionally
I'll rebuild what I've destroyed
I'll be better than I was before

With the Princess in her Glass CastleIn a snowball
out of time;
wandering the roads
of her shawl
and her hair,
paved with
wild cocoa and thyme,
I am searching
for a rescue,
not hers,
but mine.
Like the snowflake
looking for home
after its silent ball
in her stare.

Because I Could NotBecause I Could Not

Because I could not say,
such trite retorts.
To the summer tides
Which were your eyes.

Because Madame Sosostris
Played your tarot, The
'emotionally hanged
Pyramus' (who actually
believes such tripe?)

Because Orans's prison
Set you loose, & I accepted
The tender disguise. That was the
summer tides, which were your eyes.
You said smugly (back then, 'cutely'),
"Oed' und leer das Meer"
(I thought I could delude the situation;
"you love Eliot as well?")

Facing the cruelest month, who is
Always breeding and leaving
mixed memories of lilacs, of dreary
Rain, and gray attempts to
Bring an end to such cere

No More LightThis dream has become a reality
The once imaginary pain has become real
Kneeling before the altar I scream
The dead pull me apart

They tear at my memories
Twisting reality
Slowly I can see all the dead people walk.
They have come back for me

I did not ask for this pain
The pain that the dead have brought
Life no longer shines in this dark world of pain
Pain created by my mind

The time is soon when I will be consumed
End it all with a quick twist
The graceful blade across a trembling wrist
It is much too late for redemption.

This lifeless body marches with the dead.
Bleeding out all the pain of tomorrow.

Rain

by ~unusedEmotion, Oct 24, 2012, 9:54:52 PM
Literature / Poetry / Nature / Free Verse

Rain trickles down my window pane
Sparkling glass
Crying diamond tears

Walking down the lane
Frozen in time
Like an old photograph

Bright colors, subdued with nostalgia
Glistening dewdrops
Kiss the flowers' velvet dresses

A fresh breeze
Swirls around me in a whirlwind of
Hope and love

I inhale the dreams that died
Buried under the hard ground
That the new rain has unearthed

I dance with abandon
Childish laughter bubbles up like a spring
As I vivaciously stomp through a stagnant puddle

Life breathes around me
As I spin and twirl
Smiling as the sun begins to shine on me

Parting through grey clouds
It beams at me with its gorgeous rays
And we say goodbye to the remnants of the vanishing rain

Goodbye and
Thank you
Rain

rain off the pavement and the
mist it creates
