GREYscale-tears

It's overwhelming, all these feelings inside. I can't count all the times I've pretended and lied. I can't keep myself from thinking the things I do, And I can't help the fact that I'm so see-through. I'm surrounded by people I can't depend on, People who are fake and, when needed, are gone. I thought you'd be different, but evidently not. So, have I lived up to everything you've sought? I'm sorry for everything, but I can't apologize For how I feel, and hiding under this guise. The way I am now is all because of you, It's your fault for everything that I've gone through. I've fought for so long, all for your sake, But how much m

Your arms envelope me, pulling me to your chest. I breathe you in, laughing with unknown ease and your smile lights a thousand stars. My fingertips just touch your cheek and your eyes meet mine delving into my soul. I could stand like this forever, darling. Never tire, never. I slide my hands through your hair. My knees shake, legs go weak under your stare. Take me far away out onto the sea. Take me, love me and drown me in you. I turn deaf ears to the world's noise. I close my eyes to everyone else. You fill the thoughts in my fragile heart. You overthrow the numbness of my industrial mind and I call out for

When the blind man describes the dying sun as it is swallowed by great peaks, meet me beneath the gallows, the gallows, the gallows. When the deaf man sings a wondrous song, as the bells chime lightly, find me beneath the gallows, the gallows, the gallows. When the crippled man walks across deserts with not the slightest falter, seek me beneath the gallows, the gallows, the gallows. When the soldier returns from hell where he had smothered the beast, find me beneath the gallows, the gallows, the gallows. And when you forgive me, for all I have wrought, and for all I have betrayed, watch me die beneath the gallows,

Numb I lay down again My thoughts in bitter peace Of how I fear to fall in love Only to fall back on my needles sublime prick My majestic, enticing serpent of pleasure Her venom mending a broken heart And bringing beauty to my bloodstream Why be with anyone When their painfully addicting love Will never be eternal? I cannot bear the withdrawal I would rather die slowly, comfortably numb Detached from my minds emotional desires And the pain they always to bring Burden Bearer He is a man of ill-fate His shoes filled with cold, bitter stone His eyes filled with sullen guilt Another sleepless night A thousand more to come He

She's no idea of how much I care, and her pain I cannot bear. I'm hiding my pain behind a fake smile, because everyone finds my tears so vile. Will no one answer my silent screams, or will they continue haunting my darkened dreams? I put so much pressure on her, so much until everything is just a blur. I hate myself for everything I've done, give me a reason why I shouldn't, because I've got none. I try so hard but no one cares, even my family always compares. They tell me I'm beautiful, that I'm so divine, but I know underneath, they're always lying. I do my best, but I can never do anything right, I take what they give me, I'm oh so

His hand in mine and against my face. His lips press to mine with a farewell kiss. Already my heart longs for him. He brushses away my falling tears and tells me not to grieve. We hope as one for his life. That no blood may stain his hands. That he is triumphant where e'er he stands, but my soul weeps with morbid knowing that this look will be our last. I watch from the doorway as his face fades down the lane. I'll stand here still, up on this hill When it comes the time. The red sheen of the caller which strolls up to our home. 'I'm sorry, ma'am.' is all I hear Before the world disappears. His hand in mi

The crimson liquid flows through my hands and onto the bricks my heart bounces and lies pounding and thudding while I stare at its shuddering, withered form and listen to its anguished cries as it sputters "Love me... Love me..." The sky begins to weep the same red wine of my dying heart into the cracks of the long, narrow street whose shadows bow their heads in mourning while my heart screams the rain bruising it "Love me... Love me..." I turn down the dark alleyway and leave behind my abandoned labor with melancholic agony that brings me to bitter tears as I clatter away from the whisper of "Love me... Love me..."

Tired What is wrong with this world? Why is there so much hatred and anger? Why must the few good suffer? I can't take much more of it There is nothing for me at home I have no home No family Nothing I have but one spark of life yet But how for how long I don't know the answer to that question For if I lose it, what is to become of me I will simply fade into nothing, of this I'm sure Go with the other nobodies in this life Who will care to miss me? I'll tell you who…no one So filled with the darkness of this world Losing sight of the light I'm tired of fighting back So I will give myself to the eternal dark abyss And

If you really knew me you wouldn't have to ask. My favorite colors haven't changed in a year, And it's not to hard to guess that I like books. (I mean really you have seen my room.) And of course I'm gonna be snappy. (You try being me one week a month.) No, I don't like people that much. (I have ranted to you before.) And yes my past has left a scar. (I just don't make a habit of showing it off.) Would it really kill you to pay more attention. (You should have heard me those nights I cried myself to sleep. Comforted me even if I wouldn't explain why I was crying.) And you shouldn't have pestered me to go out and play when I wa

 This winding path I've chosen is hardly what I thought. The dreams I'd hoped of living, they are what they were not. I'm scared to let this happen, for fear that I should fall. I should be more open, but I cannot risk it all. I need someone to hold me, to tell me all is well. I wish someone would show me more heaven and less hell. I'd follow you forever if given half a chance. I'd sway with you forever if you'd teach me how to dance. I'll sit and watch the leaves fall as autumn closes in. I'm dreaming of you somewhere just waiting to begin.
