Pulling me from every side
Falling on the hot coals
I really wish that I could hide
Because everybody knows

Sometimes the shortest poems
               Hold the most meaning
                               And touch the most hearts....

You look me in the eye
Say you love me
That's a lie

Everydays a new issue
And you break me up
Just another crumpled tissue

You promise me sweet thing in my ear
Then tell me that they were fake
Everything that I hear
Is putting my feelings at stake

How could you **** me like this
When I give you everything
How can you shove me
When I just wanted you to see

But you're blind
And just won't listen
I wish that I could find

I hate that I am drowning
And you don't even care

I hate that my words aren't ryhming
Because I can't see or hear through my tears

And my hands are shaking
Because I hate knowing you're here

And that you can hear my sobs
And you just don't.... Care

You don't know my pain
You've never worn my chains
Only I bare my shame

You don't wage my fight
You can't cage my might
You don't walk in the night
With me....

You haven't felt my tears
You haven't faced my fears
You've never cheered
Me on...

You don't have to wear my scars
You don't gaze at my stars
And I don't know who you are
Anymore...

Sitting in my room
Blue walls facing white
I listened to a tune
To deafen out their fight
A mother and a daughter
No longer see eye to eye
Her mothers cries don't stop her
As she spouts out more lies
I wish that I could stop this
But I am powerless right now
I wish that I could fix this
But I really don't know how
I listen to the lyrics
He sings about his wife
About death and how he fears it
Since his wife took her own life
So sad this world has felt all this pain
And we simply feel a small part
But we burry deep all our shame
And we throw away all the bad into the earths heart
So quietly I'll swallow it down
Not so fast
Because I don't wont to drowned
Beneath this devouring past

I held a flower petal in my hand
And softly let it go
I watched it fly above the land
And wondered where it will go
Sadly I thought of the flower it used to be
And how I loved it so
I watched as the petal left without me
And left me here so low
I have a garden filled with flowers
I really shouldn't be sad
I have a million of them that I could shower
But I missed that one I had
Soft tears ***** my frosty green eyes
As I watch it blow away
So sad I wonder why
My flower couldn't stay

Ominous winds dancing on my bare arms
Fencing with anger to calm down my heart
Frozen winds help to blow away the harm
Searching for something that tears me apart
Looking through windows opaque with dark dust
Fighting with the curtains to close the blinds
Locking open doors, there's no one to trust
Secrets behind me I rather not find
Wind getting colder, cold I do not like
Missing the heat that used to warm my bones
Two things so different used to be alike
So separated in far apart homes
The parts that are broken are tossed away
In the dark casted shadow it will lay
