Drifting away

Out to sea

Apart or together

we cannot breathe
Only need

Each other, or another

Hearts entangled

never free

if we close our eyes
Can we just be at peace

Silently longing

Lying beneath the sky

just for a moment

For every lover

is a fighter

[Emo_Angel]

Secrets are for people,
That have something worth
Hiding
Truth reveals itself
In layers
And those you think
You know may hide
Worlds beneath their words


Where do you think
'The Heart' is?
And what do you think
Of its purpose?
Does it mean the world
To you?
Or are you feeling
'Not worth it'?

It's time to spread your
Wings and fly
To a place
You've longed to be
A place where
You belong
You can be
All you dreamed

[Mz. Hyde]

Underneath the eyes
A soul, a smile
She is never
Alive and breathing
Kicking, screaming
Exhale
Give the world

A kiss goodbye

Butterfly wings
To hold you

[Evil Muffin Overlord]

If you don't, have my back, why'd you tell me you loved me?
If it all, fades to black, why are the stars as they seem?
If all the stars, in the sky, called you today
Would you follow, and run away?
I know you would, if I came, and I stayed, by your side
If you knew, all along, why'd you wait till now to tell me?
If you said, you don't lie, what proof would I believe?
If these walls, are all I see, will I run away
Even when you, are far away?
You know I wouldn't, know I can't
Even for a life of chance
Another word, another day
Another song, another way
All the battles, in my head
Cannot die, until your dead.
And so, we live on.

[MisplacedObject]

Looking into the mirror, what do I see?
I see a girl, who's forced behind the glass
I see who she is, and who she wants to be
I see the person I could be

I see her screaming, I hear her plea
She wants out, she wants to be fee
Her voice is broken, she's swallowed glass
It doesn't deter her, she won't be brought to her knee

Looking into the mirror, what do I see?
I see a girl, I see what I want to be
I try my best to set her free

But a stone is thrown, and the glass breaks
The girls disappears, and I fall to my knees
Beside me lies the stone,
Beside me lies society.....

[TheIdiotNextDoor]

I liked that one, MisplacedObject!
Especially this part

Her voice is broken, she's swallowed glass

[Mz. Hyde]

Metal keys scratch
The raw bones of his skeleton
Doomed to walk the earth forever
Joints painful, glass bottles breaking
Ear assaulting sound
His eye sockets are hollow
His heart is empty
Each breath in his mechanical chest
Rattles through
Making him grimace
He cannot scream, for his voice ceased to exist centuries ago
He does not live, dream
There is no hope
Society told him that he could live
Forever and a day

He is not the only one who
Accepted the invitation to immortality
For there are many more
Soulless skeletons like him
Who cannot die, but cannot live
They are simply lost
Somewhere in between

The skeleton of a little boy
No family, no home

Can you imagine?

[Tanetane]

Oh my eyes, gray,
has sought out day,
but try as I may,
I only found clouds
Stretching for miles,
somber and mild,
shadowing the living, the proud

And cyan streaked ice,
seemingly nice,
though spiked and structured very strange,
Oh I wait to see to if it will change,
but it never dares it drip,
and I fear I may slip

So I will stay in this place,
so never a living soul may see my face,
I am not much more than a gasp,
of a life who was gone and walked past,
who took the form of something never warm.

I admit, I am pale,
my mind derailed,
long time ago,
Can't help but shiver,
for my breath delivers,
something very cold

They said, in life,
I was very much like a cat,
Hunting for people like I was hunting rats,
but I didn't much understand, that a human
Shouldn't be played with like dead mice,
And now I bare this ghostly cold ice...

But I am a flame bright, I am the moonlight
I have a tail of twisted wire a lit with fire
Is it not true, is it not right,
that truth as a shrew, comes barring blight,
so it came and marked me, so all can see,
what a monstrous and ugly creature I can be

Take a look at my massive chains,
take a peak of my viscious fangs.
Come and see how strange,
how mutated, how derranged,
I... Am... And that might never change.


Oh, is that truly ice you felt?
Do you think that I would melt,
did you conspire to throw me in fire,
and watch embers seize me,
You wanted to end me, if it was that easy,
we'll... I'm sorry to say, it's not that way

[Mz. Hyde]

Bones
A hollow echo
At peace beneath the sea
Another world
Slips through my fingers
Falling
Joining the skeletons
On the ocean floor
Broken

[comcom123]

Staying util the stroke of midnight
Clincking glasses
Sips of champagne
Happy new year.
