Excuse my lack of enthusiasm
I guess my expectations were too high.
Everywhere I turn
Everything\'s the same:
Another innocent victim,
A pawn in a fucked up game.
Black and blue and bits of grey
It\'s always there,
It never goes away.
I close my eyes and try to see
What little hope you\'ve left for me
In a world so cold
So dark, alone.
I\'ve lost my light,
I\'ve lost my home.
Death, despair
The final curtain call.
I need to know -
Will you break my fall?
Hand in hand
Walking through this dream called life
It amazes me to think
I used to consider it a nightmare.
That was before I met my angel,
My beautiful saviour
Who filled my empty heart
With pure, undying love.
Smiles
Were always few and far between,
Now I can\'t seem to get rid of them!
I wouldn\'t want to, even if I could.
This feeling,
This glowing warmth
That travels through my veins,
Radiates and reflects
His beautiful soul.
He has given me the key -
I am still confused as to
Why he chose me to be
The keeper of his heart,
But I accept the job without complaint.
Lost for miles
In his crystal eyes,
I never want t
Time stands still
But goes way too fast -
In the blink of an eye
An hour has passed.
The night is long
[not near long enough]
Darkness rips out my insides
With my dreams that she crushed.
Push aside the sorrow;
I stare at the wall.
Something vital breaks
And the tears start to fall.
I try to think back
To when all this was gone.
It\'s too late now,
I\'ve been drowning too long.

Through My Eyes - 1-04-03
This feeling in my chest,
It won't disappear.
Razorblades and roses,
Nothing is clear.
My fist to her face.
Immaculate fear
Rising in my throat
It burns and it sears.
Sticks and stones
Bones reflected in mirrors.
Black-cloud sky,
Death is near.
The same thing happens
Year after year...
This hurts my heart
I want you here.
For a thousand miles all around, all she could see was the blinding white darkness. Her feet crept closer to the edge of the jagged cliff, plunging into nothingness. She blinked away the last specks of ivory, and her eyes focused. Had she been dreaming? No, her eyes had never closed. Slowly she became aware of a dull buzzing noise... it gradually grew and she recognized the sound of laughter. Her fiery green eyes examined the room more closely, and the specks became silk. Faces were smiling and dancing while the silk spun around them in vicious tornadoes. Their hollow black eyes never turned her way; the laughter never invited her in.
You never wanted this. It's one of those it-won't-happen-to-me situations. The model's pretty face smiles up at you from the page of your magazine and you think, "How disgusting," as your eyes take in every inch of her perfectly airbrushed body. Before you know it, they're everywhere: skeletons with blindingly white teeth and shimmering blonde hair, begging you to buy various perfumes and designer jeans. You catch yourself staring at your reflection a little longer, only wearing certain colours, and eating meals in smaller portions. You pinch your stomach and say to yourself, "I guess it couldn't hurt to lose a few pounds."
Everything become
I can't blame you for the harsh words
And I can't blame you for the anger,
But who will you run to the next time
That he breaks your heart?
I've learned my lesson,
Now you can learn yours.
I wasted six years of my life
Trying to make things work out -
What did you do?
You only offered your hand
When it was convenient to you.
[It was always about you]
If I tried to defend myself
Then instantly I was in the red.
Black and blue is all you ever gave,
Disguised as laughter and love.
I'm done.
This was dead years ago -
So what took us so long?
Take one last look at these eyes,
I'm sure you can see the torment you created
Mixing with the confusion and pain and broken dreams
Behind a sea of hazel green.
Look at these arms,
The ones I so foolishly held open time after time
As you skillfully branded them with shades of purple and red.
Then there are the scars not visible;
So many of your needle-tipped prevarications
Have found my heart to be a useful target.
The stars don't shine quite so radiantly anymore;
The night air is cold and unpleasant.
And yet, in this moment I am free from everything.
This is where I take control of my own life again,
I'm finally doing what I fe
All that I want
Is all that I need,
And all that I need
Is so far away.
My body physically aches -
My arms cry out into silence,
Begging to be filled.
All they find is emptiness;
It tears through my veins
And fills my lungs,
Clouds my brain until I explode -
The pain finally exiting in the form
Of tiny droplets giving way to rivers.
The earthquakes manifest my every muscle
And all I can do
Is let my consciousness give way
To hazy images, disappearing quickly.
Reminders that when I awake
I am left with nothing.
You are my everything,
But I have nothing.
go away
Frozen tears fall from my eyes
Two star crossed lovers
Buried in lies
I'm afraid
Of what I might be
Of our future
But what do I know?
I'm just a whore
Bound to your side
By unbreakable chains
Faithful for life
Suffocating.
I cannot breathe.
I cannot live
A twisted fairy tale
I need you chained to my side
Faithful for life

Justifying Eternal Boundaries
I can laugh for the first time in years;
Lingering on my face is a genuine smile.
Of all the people in my life, you mean the most.
Vacant emotions no longer plague me,
Everything seems brighter.
Years will come and go quickly,
Opening new and challenging doors for us -
Understand that I will always love you.
January held so many promises;
Our love reached the next level.
Sweet details shall survive in my memory,
I couldn't forget them if I tried.
A lifetime with you is all I'll ever need -
Happiness abounds, and I am content.
Eternally in your debt,
This glow around my heart will never fade.
Hollow is replaced and I am full.
My heart relocated itself
To the pit of my stomach.
Nine teardrops descend
The pale pink of my flesh.
Your eyes
Are the window to my soul,
All my desires mapped out
And mirrored
In those lovely radiating orbs.
Tell me - when you close them,
Can you feel my every thought?
There's a nightmare festering
Deep inside somewhere...
I can sense the tingling array
of shades, of the most vibrant
Grey.
Your whispered warning,
Barely audible over the
Thundering rain outside,
Pierced the frigid air
And parted a path of warmth
Straight to where my heart now lay.
Invisible strings
Helped hoist it back up
Into the ivory cell of my che
Broken down
And out of shape.
Twisted dreams,
Shattered fate.
Tearfully rejecting
Harrowing bliss,
Settling instead for love that exists.
A heart to hold,
A hand to touch.
A life to ruin,
A soul to crush.
Darkness falls,
And so do I;
You left abruptly
Without a 'goodbye'.
Skeletal fingers
Charm me through sleep,
Protecting me now
From the deceptions you speak.
Maybe Tomorrow-I will be fine by tinkerbelle, literature
Literature
Maybe Tomorrow-I will be fine
Cut into my pain
Make it all go away
Drink it up
Get through one more day
Hide the needle
Hide the knife
Hide the flame
Save my life
Hold my hand
One more time
Maybe tomorrow
I will be fine
My heart is blue
My blood is red
Scary thoughts pounding
In my head
Melancholy mind
Depressed fingers
Grasping nothing
But the trigger
Push it harder
Until it bursts
Raining down
On a world of hurt
"Don't do it"
Says the hypocrite with the knife in her hand.
"You have so much to live for, please understand
I know that you hurt, but listen to me
It'll all go away, why can't you see?
Pain is not eternal, it soon will end.
Your mom doesn't hate you, broken friendships will mend."
She then walks away with a smile on her face,
Once at a safe distance a frown takes its place.
A tear in her eye, she is unable to cope;
As her heart races faster, she loses all hope.
Not able to take the advice that she gives,
She realizes she has no reason to live.
The entire scene witnessed by a sky full of stars,
The hypocrite lay mangled, her bo
I need to feel the comfort
That comes with all this pain,
I need ot feel the sunshine
That frees me from this rain.
I need to feel your touch
But I'll settle for the sound.
I need to put my feet
Back on the solid ground.
I need to dry these tears
I've cried for endless nights.
I need to spread these tired wings,
Smile...
And take flight.
Sixteen Years of Wasted Space by tinkerbelle, literature
Literature
Sixteen Years of Wasted Space
Infinite hollow is all that remains -
Sixteen years of wasted space.
Salty water on my cut up face
Burns the past into my brain.
How much torture must I sustain?
I watch as dusk fades into night,
Pondering what the next day brings -
Perhaps the same old, same old things.
The grueling dark extinguishes my light.
I wonder - have I done anything right?
Leave me here with the words I bleed,
And leave my wounds forever be.
I must learn to watch myself,
Carefully darting in and out between your thorny touch.
Your loving words engulf me in a hazy seafoam mist, forever lost.
Out of the corner of my mind, I see a set of piercing radiant eyes.
They never meet my gaze, because they do not in fact know I exist.
I catch you numerous times stealing glances in their direction -
Perhaps in the same fashion in which you stole my heart.
Is it really worth it?
Is seeing my pain written in bloody English
Really fucking worth it?
I could fill an ocean with my saltwater tears,
And I could fill a library with your broken promises.
A dark fog silently creeps
Past the window,
Through the door,
Over the covers,
And finaly into my heart.
The joyous melodies of amorous quantities
Slow to a quiet steady drone.
Is this death?
No, it is the sound
Of the vessel which gives me life.
The very thing that is killing me
Day by fucking day.
Things haven't been the greatest lately. Yet, surprisingly, I'm okay. A lot of tears have fallen, but I can still find the energy to smile every once in awhile, and that's what's getting me through.
Hope everyone has a nice holiday season.. I'm a little bitter towards it all, but only because I work at a store in the mall and am subjected to the "bad" side of the holidays every day.
