Fuck it.
I've blown it,
All that I said.
The rules I laid down,
And the pact that I'd made.
Never,
I told myself,
Never again.
Line drawn,
Move on,
Find something new.
Never let it grab you,
And hold you, again.
Never let it use you,
Just walk away.
Say no,
Stop crying,
And put it away,
To the back of your mind,
And keep it locked up.
Then maybe,
For once,
They won't see it, again.
And scorn you,
And realise
How pathetic you are.
Sitting alone,
Writing 'poems' to no one.
Just to distract you from thinking about it
But this time,
It's not a blade,
Or some drug.
Instead, you've let yourself
Go fall in love.
Fuck it.
I've blown it,
All that I said.
The rules I laid down,
And the pact that I'd made.
Never,
I told myself,
Never again.
Line drawn,
Move on,
Find someone new.
We could all be great, you know
We could love and be loved as well,
But still, instead of loving
We're all just fucking hell.
And we could listen to all God says
And others who ring his bell
But instead we all ignore him
And we're all just fucking hell.
And we could all just follow him
And do just as he tells
Cos every time we sin against God
We're all just fucking hell.
We should sing for what he's done for us
Not curl up in our shell
Cos if we're ashamed of our awesome God
Then we're all just fucking hell.
Punishment here is nothing
Not even the worst jail cell
But if we're not careful, when we die
We'll all be fucking hell.
There's a perfect future for all of us
Where in his presence we dwell
But if no ones bumming heaven
Then we're all just fucking hell.
I remember when
So long ago
I would smile
At the thought of you
No tears
No fears
But you.
I remember when
So long ago
I couldn't be happier
Than when you were there
Nothing special
Nothing new
Just you.
I remember when
So long ago
I would hope
And dream
And there would be a chance
Of you.
And I remember when
So long ago
You gave a crap
About me
You weren't blind
To me.
That 'so long ago'
Wasn't long ago at all
How can everything change?
'Cos now the thought of you
Makes me cry
And it's all I can do
To avoid seeing you
And hopes are lost
And dreams are drowned.
Cos you've ignored me
And you've destroyed me.
But even though
Your name pulls out every last tear
I could never hate you
I could never hurt you
I could never blame you
Seeing you doesn't make me smile
But what good is a smile anyway?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OK, so that wasnt really a poem, just some ramblings. But hey.
When you tell me, at last, that the answer is no,
That nothing will change between me and you,
Don't worry about me
I'll laugh and I'll smile
And pretend I'll be happy as long as we're friends.
I'll act like the strong one,
I'll come out on top
I'll pretend i don't need you
More than anything else.
I wont show you how I
Cried myself to sleep
Right in the middle of the bloody day
Just so I didnt have to think about you
Just so I could dream that you hadn't said no.
I'll tell you I'm happy
As long as you are
After all,
It's just a teenage crush.
I'll tell you i'll get over you
And love someone else soon
And i'll hold back the tears
And choke back the sobs.
And then we'll go back and see the world
They'll never know youve just broken my heart
Just cos i could never be loved
The way I know that I loved you
They'll see me again,
The way that you do,
Calm, relaxed, not disappointed at all.
But you've said it now
You've told me no
And now you know, it's all an act
I'll cry myself to sleep
Every night from now oin
Cos neither of us, could ever really lie...
Leaning across an ocean when I’m leaning on your shoulder
Reaching across a crater when I reach to touch your hand.
Hugging around a mountain when I have to say goodbye to you
All the space between us, a lost, forgotten land.
I wish I believed in magic
That could make it disappear
I wish you knew how much it meant
To have you with me here.
And we are always talking, yet it always seems so silent,
And there’s always conversation, but never the right one
And all I want to do is tell you what you mean to me
But the vacuum that’s between us, swallows it, and it’s gone.
And you’re the only one, you know
Who can make my wish come true
And I don’t believe in magic
But I do believe in you.
Like a drug,
Like a raging addiction
Wanting, needing more
Each time I see you
Each time you're there
Makes me want to see you again
Makes me need you more
Every thing you do
Every word you say
Makes you just that little bit more perfect
Makes you the only thing i need
And each time its over
All i can think of is the next
The next time my addiction will be fed
The next time i see you
The next time i smile.
But drugs cant say no
Drugs cant choose not to be used
And drugs break people and hurt people and ruin their lives
But not you
No not you
You're a harmless drug
The best thing i can have
The best thing for me.
So the moment i wait for
Beyond the addiction
Is the day you say that you're mine and i'm yours
And at last
For once
I'll always be smiling
And you'll be there with me
And we'll always be high.
Living my life on imaginary clouds,
Wishing upon imaginary stars,
Looking forward to imaginary days
With imaginary laughter
And imaginary smiles
What will it take for something to be real?
For me to wish real wishes
And the stars be real too,
What will it take for you to see,
My imaginary future is all about you?
What will it take for you to see,
You're the only one who can make it come true?
But until that day when you make it all real,
When my imaginary future finally comes
I'l still be wishing for you deep in my heart
And living my life on imaginary clouds.
Go to the forest of lonliness
Where the wolves howl
But the birds dont sing
Where there is never day
Only darkest night
And every drop of rain
Is the harshest poison
Walk along the path of pain
To the clearing
By the stream of tears
Thats where i'll be.
See me curled up in my cage
Razor wire surrounding me
Beware the cratures that lurk near there
To guard and mock every tortured thing
Listen to my cries
You'll hear them
You'll see
But will you be the one to rescue me?
Like the monotonous black of a midnight sky; split by a blade of murderous lightening,
Like the daunting silence of a shadowy forest; broken by the howl of a hunting wolf,
Like a never-ending insomnious night; scattered with haunting, vicious nightmares,
Like years of hiding, fearing the worst; finally ended by ‘the worst’ coming true,
Like an endless summer of an eternal drought; dying into a cruel flood.
The pain inside,
The aching within,
And all you want is for it to stop,
But not all relief is good,
Not all relief is worth it.
Like a day of self-hate and loneliness and shame; until at last the sting of a razor blade.
Not all relief is good,
Not all relief is worth it.
"And your arm
I noticed
Has that still not healed?"
"Has what still not healed?
My wounds
Or my head"
The slits in my arm
Where the blood poured out
Along with my stress
My hate
And my fears.
Or the hole in my head
Where the good leaked out
And all that was left
Was betrayal
And loss.
The place in my head
Where good cannot live
That longs for the pain
The tears
And the blood.
Where the wounds in my arm
Seem right somehow,
Where even though i dont want it
I still need the pain.
"The answer is neither
They both are still there
Forever leaving the scars
And the pain'

I’m not gonna act like my life isn’t easy
But I'm not gonna say it don’t rain
I’m not gonna pour all my problems upon you
If only to spare you the pain
I’m not gonna say that I hate what you’ve become
But I’m not gonna say its ok
I'm not gonna blame you for all that has happened
Cos I no you’ll be doing the same
But if you could watch me cry at night
And feel just how it feels
Maybe then you’d realise how I can love you still
Despite all the hurting and despite all the pain
I will always love you and that will never change
I'm not gonna keep looking back on what you’ve done
Cos I no it will happen again
I'm not gonna try and fight all of my feelings
Cos I no that they wont go away
I'm not gonna expect you to know how I’m feeling
Cos it’s something I cannot explain
I’m not gonna tell you how much you have hurt me
Perhaps to save you from the shame
If you could watch me cry for you
And hear me as I pray
Maybe then you’d realise how I will always stay
Despite all the hurting and despite all the pain
I will always love you and that will never change
I’m not gonna try and hold you and help you
If you only push me away
I'm not gonna wait to be told I'm not wanted
Cos I no that’s just what u will say
But if you could watch me cry at night
And feel just how it feels
Maybe then you’d realise how I can love you still
Despite all the hurting and despite all the pain
I will always love you and that will never change
If you could watch me cry for you
And hear me as I pray
Maybe then you’d realise how I will always stay
Despite all the hurting and despite all the pain
I will always love you and that will never change
Secrets
Keeping a secret can end a life
Sharing a secret can save one
Finding out the truth about someone can send life into chaos
Finding out the truth about yourself can do worse.
As you hide from the world
Saying you don’t care what people think
But you do
More than anything
You don’t care what people think about the front you put on to the world
Because you know that no one can touch you when that is what they see, you will always have a comeback
But inside is a child
Cowering from the world
Cowering from what she never wants to be involved with
But the front she puts up
Wants to
And will be
So deeply involved with it,
It will send her life into ruins.
The secret of yourself
Never shared.
How can you know what it is like to betray yourself?
To give in to the thing you despise
And not despise yourself for it.
‘It was just a mistake’
They say
‘Try to forgive yourself for it’
But you can’t,
Because you know that what you did was completely deliberate
And now impossible to erase.
Tearing through flesh where before you had coated others with armour,
Even against their will
Crying and screaming where before you had blocked others’ tears and gagged their quietest murmurs
Taking for advantage that they will give you sympathy
Because you had once given it to them
Expecting them to stand by you
Even though you once abandoned them
Betrayal, Hate, Pain, fear, despair
The worst emotions and the ones you cannot escape
Ok, boring as this is, i have decided that this diary is gonna be for my poems and songs and crap.
so ther are gonna be quite a few entries that i put in today, and then theyl appear on rare occasiobns wen im inspired enough to rite something
xHUGx
Helpless
Helpless pointless and useless
How else can you feel?
This is not an ordinary situation
Not many see their best friend destroying herself in front of their very eyes
Completely unable to do anything
Where anything you do makes it worse
Anything you say pushes you further and further apart.
How can you not feel like you do not belong?
Like you have no part in her life
No matter how many times she says you do.
Because you have no comprehension of how much hurt she experiences
How much pain each day causes
How she could possibly go as far as she does to feel better.
All you can want to do is help
But often she doesn’t want it
She is set firmly in her ways.
You try to tell her how much you care
How you would do anything for her
But she can’t receive it
She can’t receive the help you offer.
You hope to make a difference
To be the one to truly help
But eventually your existence fades
You just blend in
Become a part of ordinary life
Like every other person who has tried and failed to end her suffering…
There she sits, no one sees her,
They hear her murmur but do not care.
No one sees how she bleeds and cries,
Her soul battered and bare.
And she knows she has not just cried,
She has torn her own flesh and ripped out her hair.
But still they walk past; they do not see her,
No, they just do not care.
She always takes it out on herself,
Her arms and legs now coated in scars.
And no one has noticed this lost lonely girl
With soul battered and bare.
Again and again she picks up the blade
Again and again No one knows why.
She doesn’t know that what she is doing is wrong
She can’t see through her tearful eyes.
Her thoughts concealed inside her head
No-one knows the sound of her voice
Her best friend is the blood she pours each day
Battered and bare not by her own choice.
I lie in bed
Awake
Staring at the broken ceiling
A surge of guilt and fear and worry hits me like a slap across the face
It doesn’t want me to sleep
It doesn’t want me to get on with my life and forget it all
It hits me again
But I won’t let it control me
I won’t let him control me
Not this time.
He doesn’t deserve my tears, he doesn’t deserve my thoughts.
I tell myself that he never cared
That he used me as a poor distraction from his empty life,
And that helps me to sleep
That helps me to forget.
He will not control me as he did before
I will
And soon he will be all he deserves to be
An unwanted memory.
If you are carrying me through this, why am I still stumbling?
If you are holding me so tightly, why am I still falling?
If you are strengthening me, why am I weaker than ever?
If you rid me of all my sins, why do they still haunt me?
If you are all around me, why do I feel so alone?
If you are lifting my feet from the floor, why are they still blistering?
If you answer every prayer, why do I feel so ignored?
If you love me so much, why do I feel so abandoned?
If you make life so much better, why is it worse than ever before?
If you abolish all pain, why does it hurt so much?
If you are inside me, why do I feel so empty?
If you want me to believe you are there, why won’t you let me see you?
If you want me to talk to you, why won’t you talk to me?
If you hear all I say, why can you not hear my screams?
If you are the light of the world, why is it all so dark?
If you are holding my hand, why is it so empty?
If you protect me from evil, why is it all I am?
If all I have to do is believe …why am I still here, asking?
