waisting me
time is just not right
and all the things
I'm losing tonight
are not worth the time I've spent

in a funny sort of way
not angered by a moment
take a glance from the backseat
I'm still waving
goodbye, goodbye

such a great little me
the teeth were kind of big
but no one could resist
such a cute little kid
a mind like dragonflys

you, over there
I'm lackluster and jaded
what do you think of that?
anything at all?
sorry to inconvenience you

just a desperate little me
trapped within a bubble
floating from the ground
not knowing to be scared
not caring where I'm found

empty all over again
the me I knew I was
filled was I, once
with spurious emotions
but now I know

love is something I will never find

...................................

I know you see the world
know that it is there
beside the mind I own
beyond these eyes

inklings of a truth
I wish I never knew
wished so fervently
think it might come true

blast it all away
everything I own
these hands, this heart
a pitiful soul

I wish to be alone
just for a little while
such a daft idea
aren't we all...

alone?

........................................

we've all got it figured out
its beating like a drum
the twists and turns our wary hearts
make in this placid space
we dance and croon
our merry ways
through all the grandest things
the little parts we leave behind
just mindless banter really

I'm searching for a lover
though love is not my goal
I use the term quite loosely
as loosely as this hole
I used to call a soul
its emptiness is beautiful
when filled with worldly goods...

I was a brilliant mind
at one point or another
such eloquence I had
I'd weave a tapestry
inside the minds of all
who'd listen to my words
but they have left me here
a darkened room without
the sound of life...

such a pretty face
it went with anything
the tragedy of it
to be as ugly as myself
I was something once
the world, it beat me down
victimized, decayed
my mind is slipping too
might I spend the night

with you?

The Infinity:

Will I survive this bitter nightmare?
Are you going to be there every time I fall?
Or step out of the way
And watch me die?
Crashing on the floor
Burning and fading to dust
This fairytale is ending
The full moon is desending
I see your eyes one last time
And slowly drift into the infinity

Tremble within shaking palms
push into sands, remaining calm
the water swirls, the wind blows strong
and still they stand, arm in arm
chanting loud, eyes upward cast
dreams of the future, thoughts of the past
a frightful scream, screamed their last
once the water came and the water passed
the land torn up, the sea drunk dry
fell the heavens from the sky
and without a chance, they're left there to die
natures game gone with a sigh
one last breath, and one last gust
as they cried, the winds they hushed
moved along, moved away they must
for no longer the earth could they trust
She cut them down and struck them bare
such a beautiful dreamer, laying there
her heart no longer trembles, it wouldn't dare
the weathers eased now, no more pain to share.

Kind of a bunch of random poems here...just feeling reflective, I guess.

Bringing life to a lost cause,
Finding shelter under the wings
of memories long forgotten
by those who first made them.

Trying to remember,
Yet never forgetting,
That the lives lost
and prices paid
were each for a lesson,
were each for a reason.

Burning within are desires,
One so pure as to wash away
all the dirt hidden inside,
but one so dark as to seek out
every bit of light within one's soul,
snuffing out all hopes of survival...

My mind a flurry of activity,
Buzzing through all of my life,
Like seeing a slide show ten times,
But only catching glimpses of it,
Remembering the fleeting moments.
Moments of anger, depression, lonliness,
Moments of love, of joy, of hapiness,
All coming together to bring one thing:
The human soul, unique, ever-changing,
touched by the fleeting moments of emotion.

After all,
What is life but
fleeting moments
on the wings of angels?

How strange it is
That a set of syllables
Can set your heart
hurting
wanting
laughing
crying
How strange are these things
That tell us what we are
and what will be
The language of the heart
And the language of our mind
different, different
And for I, why can't I
be a stranger to the heart?
For I speak the language of the mind
With a foreign accent
And one set of syllables
Sets my heart beating
fleeting
leaping
weeping
or last of all...sleeping...

I've been here for so long
a sedentary nobody
no calling to hold on
no face to call my own
a backpack filled with diversion
away from here, I'm not gone yet

they all look at me
some just stop and stare
I know I'm beatiful
on the outside
how do you feel looking in?
how does my soul taste to you?

they've had me for so long
and nothing has been done
no use for me
no risque games
and never just a smile
I'm here for something else

I'll stay no longer than I'm needed
'til fate hands me my papers
its been so very long, you see
but today I finally saw
the view from the front seat
and I had to spend a grin

it was worth a smirk, after all...

Life

It pours through your veins,
May drive you insane,
It's puzzles confuse your brain.

It makes you want to sing,
can be compared to a ring,
everyone is like a puppet on a string.

At first it twinkles,
but with age you sprinkle,
your skin begins to wrinkle.

Includes jokes on feminity,
and lack of masculinity,
these things will go on for all eternity.

I made 2 today! ^^:

The spoiled rich bastards want it all
They don't know that greed's their fall
Thoughtless and cruel when it comes to charity
Selfish and vain without a sign of clarity
Puts themselves before others and think they're hot
Isn't it hard to be what we know you're not?
Their life's based on money and they spit on the poor
because they think they're big because they have more
But after all is done and they've been beat
they'll be the ones penniless on the streets.

And the other:

Here I stand at the edge of a knife
I thought it was time to end my life
Thought there wasn't anyone there I could love
thought I'd take this pain to the skies above
Thought I'd never make it on my own
Thought I'd forever be alone
But then I remember those who want me to stay
Those who don't want me to feel this way
Those who have saved me many times before
Those who are friends I cherish and adore
I realize how life would change should I be dead
I realize there's more to be done and more to be said
I remember this and put down the blade
My loneliness and despair begin to fade
I realize I'm not alone, I'll live another day
I think that from here things will be okay
So long as those I remembered are there in the long run
I'll know my search for someone to love is not yet done.

Cloud Strife · 01-18-2005, 12:38 PM

She looks into those empty eyes,
And listens to those empty lies,
telling herself that he's still there,
Telling herself that he still cares...

But the light is gone now (it's not coming back,)
The darkness is here now (it's truly pitch black)
But she sticks with him now...(she stays by his side)
She thinks that he's there...(she's along for the ride)

She finally breaks down, comes face to face
with truth: He doesn't care...what a disgrace.
She turns away now, from those empty eyes,
And her ears become deaf to those empty lies.

BlackMageGirl! · 01-18-2005, 03:45 PM

Think of me in that white winter...
Before we said goodbye you promised me
that you would not be gone...
But you said goodbye
Remember me fondly, as you smiled and said goodbye
If you ever find what you're looking for...
I hope you will be happy...with me not by your side
I shall remember and shut away what might have been
Then someday...I will not think of you
Flowers fade...
Colors wane...
And you promised that you would think of me
...will I be waiting in that white winter...?

For you handed back to me
Something that you didn't need
The key to my heart, you returned
And all that's left are the footprints
Made in the ground, slowly filling up
From the falling snow...
