Brave Soul

Your teeth should never be stained red,
When the truth escapes
And secrets, through veins, are bled.

Let confidence swell above self-consciousness.
Avoid this life;
It has become our mess.

Do not let her take control,
Run from her reign.
A free spirit lurks within your soul.

Right Under My Nose

A kiss worth a million words,
Takes my breath away.
I'm speechless,
With a million things to say.

Maybe by the time I wake,
You'll realize your feelings?
They're no mistake.

With each word we grow closer,
With each smile my heart grows fonder.
Within months will you be mine?
Will you ever find the time?

Just stay here forever,
Cling to my lips.
If you'll love me someday,
I'll never say goodbye.

Brown hair to match your bright eyes,
A love so natural,
You never had to try.

You know you could have me;
In the blink of an eye.

All for One; All for You

You stress me out,
You make me cry,
But for you;
I am not willing to die.

Death takes no effort, 
No love,
Or compassion. 
Death is for cowards,
And you deserve only the best.

So for you,
I will live. 
Each day is for you, 
Each smile,
Each tear.

Life is much more frightening
When compared to death
But I can be brave,
For you

Regret at Eleven Eleven PM

What do you do 
When you can't get it right?
When each word you say
Results in a fight. 

What do you do when your love is so strong,
But the feeling is one-sided
And the actions are all wrong.

How do you live through so many days of pain,
When there is no hope,
Or potential for gain. 

Meet Me at the Intersection of Love and War

Let there be light,
Let there be war.
Forever there is fright
To acompany terror.
When covered by the cloak of night,
Question: what are we fighting for?

Does hate triumph over love?
Do good intentions follow bad decisions?
Will higher powers always live above?
Higher powers provoke visions,
But scarcely of love.

Good Foe Nothing

Quick strides through empty halls,
Harsh glares penetrate my skin.
Can they see what I am feeling?
Do they know the way I'm dealing?
She hasn't the slightest clue
Of what we do.
And the other hasn't the slightest idea.
Maybe ignorance is bliss for all parties involved?
Maybe she's just dumb.
An enemy is never beneficial;
Glares and giggles
Are powerful forces.
Maybe sticks and stones
Have the power to kill;
But it is words
That are sure to fulfill.
Pick your poision,
Whether it is "bitch" or "whore";
But know who you're dealing with,
So you don't receive much more.

Missing Embrace

Embracing every moment of silence,
The sound so pure.
The low murmur of life is distant.
The riveting echo
Of daily life,
It escapes my memory.
The quiet could be disturbed 
At any moment,
But for now,
I shall sit in the silence
And absorb its simplicity.
Far from the roar of life.
Such a beautiful lack of noise.
If only greed didn't ask for more.

Concealed in Storms

As I stand below this inundation,
Are they tears;
Or are they raindrops?
Only my umbrella could tell.
My feet stand
Above the forgiving floor.
The floor could never disclose,
Are they tears?
Or are they raindrops?
This secret is safely hidden,
Within the storm.

Around and Around

Hopeless circles 
We've traveled in since our dawn.
Lacking the bravery
To stand and be strong. 

To tell me how you feel,
Then to shoot me down.
Just keep going,
Around and around. 

Endless cycles
Of pain and regret. 
I'm tired of flying solo,
Let's make it a duet. 

To deny me the truth, 
To hollow a promise. 
Just keep hurting me;
Again and again.

Synonyms for Bliss

Just one smile from her
Means more to him
Than a thousand of my painfully sheded tears.
He'll care about her for years,
While I'm only a fleeting intrest.

Never will I mean to you,
What, to me, you do. 

Forever I'll be in your debt, 
But never in your heart. 
A million remedies
Could never teach me to forget.
For ignorance is bliss, 
And my life is bliss-less. 

A synonym for ignorance? 
A useful skill I lack.
Your name;
A simple four letter word,
If only it could bring ignorance to my ears. 

Even a being with an entire brain,
Cannot teach ignorance. 
For one cannot un-learn, 
And forgetting is impossible. 

Second Hand Pain

There is no voodoo in this experiment,
Only pain in this show,
A pain that we both see
But only you know.
The scars are shown upon my neck,
The promises we've made become a wreck,
The train we were on crashes, 
And i walk away from you
Lying in the ashes. 

Pinky Promise?

Silence, 
Never awkward 
But filled with beauty. 

Brutal honesty
Feels less brutal.

There is no pain 
Even in the tearful words you cry. 

I feel no need to hold back,
Even with secrets bubbling.

Looking into your eyes,
Never are they dull. 
A sparkle resides within. 

We both know you are beatiful,
And it pains me 
To hear you deny it. 

Don't ever frown, 
Don't let anyone get you down.

Your words have the power to sting, 
But sometimes they raise me higher. 

Could we stay in this moment forever? 
Will you never release me from your grasp?

Pinky promise? 

Less Than Love
