Love Love is a puzzle, Within a puzzle With a rare resolution, And various painful endings. Love is knowing why Not how or when But why/ you feel The way you do Love is unsureness For rareley returned equally It leaves you confused And disallusioned Love brings you to darkness Solitude; Quiet. Love is so commonly felt, But so rarely returned/ for real Lies and scams Formed to better vanity Leave the world Unstable and cold Love is instability, Insecurity, Insainity. Why do we love/ love? ------------------------- Masks A smile on the outside, Pain hidden deep within She lives her life playing a roll, That is slowly slipping away She has so many masks With each different person She reaches for another For so long she has done this That she is starting to get them mixed up She's so confused. She's spent so much time, Playing rolls and using masks, That she cannot rememebr What she's really like inside. She spends her darkest moments Locked up and afraid Crying tears of helplessness She is so lost. She tries to drop the act, And throw away the masks, But it hurts so badly. She feels naked and alone, She can't go on. --------------------------- Fly I wish/ to fly Past the madness/ and confusion Past the chaos/ and dillusion Past the bitter/ and the sweet And those mistakes, I shan't repeat. Past hearts broken/ and loves lost The bitter souls, at righteous cost. To my beginning, my very start The very root, of my battered heart. I wish/ to fly... ----------------------- Emotionless Feeling The pain I feel right now; The emptiness, It leaves me hollow Without emotion, Without feeling I feel as though my eyes are finally open And I just wish it would all go away; I'm numb. I'm a machine; Paralized of the mind, The heart, and the soul. On the outside, Looking in on myself. I wish I could wake up From this terrible dream I walk through each day A series of motions, Each done without feeling, Or knowing. I wish to sleep, And never awake And for as much as I feel, It is as if it were true So quiet I remain, But inside, I am screaming; Screaming in terror Screaming in pain I don't know which, Or if there is a difference, At all. I reach out, But my hands do not move. I am slowly dying Piece by piece, I am losing sensation All I see is darkness Emptiness. Cold; Solitude. A smile masks my terror But what do I fear? I long to cry out, "Help me! Please, save me!" But the words are not there. I try to explain To bring meaning, To it all But all I can manage, is fear; Fear of my soul, Fear of my heart Sheer terror of things unknown It's so dark No light in reach I feel so trapped Please save me. Nobody hears, Not even I. I grasp at emotions I'm starved for pain, Loss, hurt; Something. I feel, nothing. I am dead, Or might as well be For I cannot feel, And no longer care. I lie down, In cold darkness The moon my only salvation I feel understanding, In it's emptiness. I wish to reach out to you, But you are not here; I am alone. The emotionless drum, Of daily routine Have become lifeless, And unfeeling. I reach for the blade "I need to feel..." I hesitate, One more chance, For someone to help me; But only I can save myself, And I don't care enough, To even try. The razor reaches my wrist, "I long for pain, I need something, someone." But it's too late. I slice, Two even swipes; Pain. A quick feeling of pleasure, Before the pain takes over. I fall to the floor, "I can feel, but where are you?" Silence. Darkness. Cold; It's over.
