Through all the darkness and sadness
I kept you in my heart
Always thinking of you
Wondering if you were thinking of me
Hoping that you were…
And…
You thought of me which makes it seem so much less dark inside me

I Want To Die
theidiotmanifesto:
On days like today, When everything seems Ever so white in its void, And angels would impale Their hearts upon devil tears. As the emotion of a million Is shattered and burned, Turned to comet’s dust And swallowed by the dirty. Love no longer tastes beautiful When scars remind us of What it was to touch yesterday.
Bleed
myinkstainedheart:
My skin is not pale
my blood is crimson,
but if you would take a blade
and cut through my chest you’d see,
my blood is crimson,
my heart is pallid, sickly.
And here I lacerate my pen,
like I would lacerate my vein open,
because I need ample convincing,
I’m not as dead as I think,
I still feel something.

It hides inside her, enslaved to the bars of a cage, wants to be free, won’t break the chains. Convincing herself she prefers the dark, when could fly away faster than an avalanche. Incentive desire for things she’s never done, but dreads nothing more than to travel the unknown. She knows she has to change her ways, no need to be afraid of a penultimate fate. Full of life and...

My dearest Juliet
I have been but a humble slave to your beauty,
From the first moment our eyes met.
You were my shining light,
In my dark days.
My love for you has consumed me,
Where all that is left is you.
Our love could never be,
Always obstructed from blossoming.
It was poisoned,
It is ruined.
It is clear that we cannot ever freely be together.
Alas I cannot live in a world where you...
Glance
mysearchforwisdom:
Passive passion,
Activated, with a look,
That look, that baited hook,
Takes, every word from a poets book,
Mashes all the passion into one dreamy eyed glance.
That thousand hour stare,
Peering through blades of hair,
Giving my heart into your care,
If not but moments flouting int he air.
A blink and a flash,
And the glance is lost behind,
Turned lash,

Regret
The day that your heart stopped beating
A hole was ripped into my soul that left me raw and aching
At the exact moment you left this Earth
I was unaware of your departure
I was foolishly preoccupied with childish conquests
It breaks me that I was so oblivious to your departing
Unimaginable that I was so detached from this fact
The truth…
It has haunted me ever since that fateful...

Things I never said
I never said I loved you enough
I never told you that you where my hero, my comfort, my support
I was your biggest fan, your little girl
How I looked up at you in wonder
You always made me feel special and important
There was nothing you couldn’t do and nothing you couldn’t fix or make
I never told you how wonderful you were or how special you were to me
I never told you how lucky I was to have...

I am ravaged and consumed,
By this unquenchable,
Thirst for you.
Parched and cracked,
Scarred and brittle,
I await your rain.
With my arms outstretched,
Turning circles, headward sky,
I catch as many drops as I can.
Soak through my skin,
Because inside me,
Isnt close enough.

Repression
I push it all down
Keep it locked up inside
Its screaming on the inside, begging to be let loose
It hurts to keep it in
The chaotic disorder of it all scares me
It makes me anxious
If I let it out I’m not sure what will be brought to the surface
So much suffering and hurt lays hidden away
Silently eating away at my conscious and sanity

Didn’t need you to rescue me
Didn’t need you to promise me a tomorrow or a happy ever after
Didn’t need you judging me or my reasoning… or the lack thereof.
I needed you to be there for me, really be there for me
I needed to know that you would be my anchor
I needed to know that I could have your heart in good time, no matter how selfish that seemed.
That would have made all the difference...

I close my eyes and you’re staring right at me
Your eyes pierce my flesh and touch my soul
You see right through me, you see the real me
Your voice echoes in my head filling me with pure bliss
Your presence is electric and I find myself struggling to breathe
Every thought I have is consumed by you

Somewhere between sunrise and sunset I came undone
I was left standing with my heart in my hands… bleeding
Somewhere along the way I lost myself
I gave too much, maybe I gave it all
You can lay the blame at my feet
I will accept the consequences for my selfish deeds
The only one left to blame and resent is myself
You can walk away unaffected, knowing your conscience is clear
But I will still...

Sunflower
Beautiful sunflower
At first glimpse,
You stand tall in magnificent splendour
Basking in the sunlight
Gently spreading your petals to catch all the glorious sunlight
Fixated on the sun always following it obediently
As the sun sets you become withdrawn and wilted
Petals hanging despondently with your face turned down and hiding away from the world
Losing sight of the sun has taken away your...

I should have run when I had the chance
Given myself a way out
If I run now you run with me
I cannot escape your hold over me now
You have become an inseparable part of me and I am irrevocably obsessed with you
You’ve possessed my heart and I cannot see you ever letting me go free
I want you to know
one thing.
You know how this is:

Love and all its beauty
One of the single most beautiful things I have ever read, has been the poem by Elizabeth Barrett Browning “How do I love thee?”. It has remained one of my most beloved poems of all times (well during my 24 almost 25 years of existence) and its beautiful words is truly amazing and inspiring. To but find a person that can inspire such feelings of unconditional love…

You have to take the good with the bad, smile with the sad, love what you got...
Everything has its beauty but not everyone sees it.
