Shadow Fiend
D Jan 2014
In the dead of night
When the lights are out,
And the world is asleep,
It's a wonderful sound.

Hear the softness around you,
The light crackle and pop!
Its finally quiet--
Though one voice doesn't stop.

It leaves a faint echo
That doesn't easily fade.
Instead, grows in its intensity
Little by little each day.

I call him my friend
Born out of the shadows.
Or is he the fiend,
Waiting to devour

My mind, body, and soul?
Hes coming quite close
For in the dead of night,
There are things I still don't know..

They lurk along the darkened walls
Plotting with twisted faces
Longing to reach out and touch me
And leave their cursed places

But oh, my shadow friend,
You greedy little thing!
He lets none close enough
For I to feel them breathe.

And he'll hover so near me,
Right above my lonely bed,
Whispering softly in my ear-
He's getting to my head..

And just when I decide
To give his words a chance,
The sun starts to rise.
I'm free again at last!

Oh, my shadow friend,
You torment my mind why?
Is it of loneliness? Love?
Or are you just waiting for me to die?

Slowly and surely,
I'll wither away
Then and only then,
*I'll finally let you stay

Liquid Stone
D Jan 2014
"You're so stupid,"*

Not two feet away
I stand still, motionless before you
Leaving the stretch of loneliness
Between us

"And worthless!"

My hands reach forward
To cut off the words I know true,
To stop the rush of air to your lungs
But between us

"I hate you!"

Instead of your warm flesh,
My fingers only caress
In a desperate attempt to ****, the liquid stone
Between us

*"It's me.."
Whenever I look at myself, I can't help but call myself down on everything.. Its a habit I should break, but its too hard and I know I'm not strong enough to change. So I guess I'll keep at it. Gotta give me points for dedication to something..

Missed My Bus
D Dec 2013
I said I wanted to go
But I didn't really want to leave
What I wanted was for you to make me stay
I just wanted to believe

That you could really love me
Someone as weird and utterly normal as I
That you could care enough about me
To not let me leave with that sort of goodbye

But then you stepped aside
Let me pass you, out the door
And I couldn't stop the tears from falling
Once my foot hit the snow

You just let me leave you
After all the drama, all the fight
I couldnt--wouldnt-- believe it
It just wasnt right.

My thoughts were like a tornado
Destroying from within
What happened to us in there?
And was I going to let it win?

Sure I was upset,
But being away for even a minute
It was killing me already
How could I stand to even last it?

So I turned around,
Leaving every shred of pride behind
God, was I ever stupid
And out of my **** mind

He wouldn't want me back,
Right after he gave me up?
But if he really did like me,
Coming back would be enough

He'll forgive me and I, him.
And if he doesnt, I dont care!
I'll turn back and walk away--
Thats when I saw you standing there

Smiling a knowing smile
Just across the street
I couldn't help the flutter of my heart
You were as lovely as could be

I walked to you then,
Slowly, head bowed
I stopped in front of you
Not sure what to do now

You wrapped me in your arms
And suddenly I knew
Everything would be okay
Because you loved me and I, you.

**** all the years spent wasting my time
Playing childish games always ending with lies
Because I'm so sick of this crap you call friendship--
What kind of best friend makes another feel like ****?

*Eat ****, horse faced *******!
Sorry for the, uh... nevermind. I'm not sorry.

Maybe..
D Dec 2013
In the past five years
We've had some good memories
We'd laugh at our mistakes
And then make some more

But this past year
I've been thinking
That maybe, just maybe
It's time to let go

You've been a good friend to me
At least for the most part
When you're not poking fun
At my every flaw

You've been growing ever colder
Not caring when you pushed
To the very limits, went to far
And shattered my heart
I'll probably come back and edit this just bc it *****/ sorry.

Love and Hate
D Dec 2013
I love how we share the same insecurities
I love how you don't even know
I love the way your eyes shine when you really smile

                                                    I love a lot of you, but not all

I hate how you think all of life is meaningless
I hate how that implies we are too
I hate that you think you could ever lose me to someone else

                                                    *I hate a lot of things, but never you

Freedoms 3

To sleep is to be free
Free from all the stress
Caused by too much of this
****** up reality called
Life
I wish there was a way to live in our dreams forever. But not our nightmares.. those don't count. Because nightmares are just the byproduct of reality seeping into our  peaceful innocence and corrupting it.
D Dec 2013
I know this is really stupid
And probably sort of weird
But though I know I'll see you in a day
It feels like 100 years

I can't seem to shake this feeling
I've tried every distraction in the book
But every time I've finished reading
You're in my thoughts-- everywhere that I look

I know I'm really stupid
And definitely sort of weird
But I miss you like ******* crazy
I cant wait a day; a month; a year

I don't want to distract myself anymore
No, thats not what I need in the slightest
What I want-- wrong-- What I need
Is you, my star that shines the brightest

                                        So come to me my dear
                                   Don't make me wait any longer
                               I know this isn't our decision to make
                             But please, I'm not getting any smarter

You know that I'm pretty stupid
Especially when I'm acting this weird
But Isn't that what love makes us do?
It'll only get worse through the years

So lets not make this difficult
Lets not wait for anyones approval
Lets do this now and not waste a second
Lets run off and conquer the world

*Together?
Shut up. Shut up! Shutupshutupshutupshutupshutupshutupshutupshutupshutupshutupshutupshutup!!! My head hurts and I can't think with you yelling at my from inside like that! ... Just.. please, shut up?

Even when you loud
And hard to reach,
I still love you
Even when you get things wrong,
I long for it all

Tell me how to prove
That without you,
I'm nothing
Tell me how to say
In a weird way you've made me fall

After Midnight I Wonder
D Dec 2013
Am I in love? I like to think I am.
Otherwise I wouldn't know
How to categorize these feelings I'm having.
Just the thought of his smile, his eyes, his voice
Brings an overwhelming happiness --
One I have no choice
But to embrace gratefully
Seeing as it saved me, obviously,
From a fate much worse.

Being alone -scratch that -
At having never known
You, I wouldn't know it,
But it would drive me insane.
And insanity isn't a game
I take too kindly to playing.
Bottom line, all I'm saying
Is that you make my life better
By simply existing
By filling up that empty space
I never knew was missing.

*I love you

Jealousy is the only bitch
D Dec 2013
Whoever the other girls [are] is,
She better know that I'm pretty ******* ******
And that if she ever tried to steal what's rightfully mine
I just hope she knows I'll send her flying back through time
Just so she can witness every kiss and caress ever shared between us
**** that ***** who thinks she could just walk in here and come between us

*Its just not ******* happening *****
D Dec 2013
You're everything I wish to be
And I'm nothing at all
You're everything I'll ever need
And I'm nothing you'll ever want

And sure, you say you love me now,
But what about tomorrow?
What happens when we go back to school
And everyone's cold stares follow?

I'm scared --Scared of losing you
To someone else's selfish desires
But for now, listen when I call you in the dark
Be my lover --Be my fire

Keep me warm in the cold the late nights bring
Shed your light down upon me,
Show me the paths I must take to your heart
So that I may steal it for myself
Because I know that if it isn't me,
It'll be someone else
A thought I cannot comprehend enough
To even write about

I guess what I'm trying to say
Is this

I don't care how many glances get shot our way
It doesn't matter if your mind changes
And it's okay to make many mistakes
As long as its we who face them

Be my lover --Be my fire
Be my everything and know
That you are my selfish desire
And nothing I'm ever letting go
D Nov 2013
Pull me close
Into your arms
Don't let me go
Keep me safe and warm

Hold me tightly
In your arms
Stars shine brightly
Guiding us from harm

My Love ♥
D Nov 2013
My love
Is as sweet as honey
In my favorite raspberry tea
My love
Is as warm and comforting
As a fire during winter could be
My loves
Happiness is great
It sings sweet melodies
My love
Knows no boundries
Holds no limits for its hopes and dreams

My love
Is one of a kind
Though it doesn't stand alone
You stand there by its side
Holding me close, keeping me warm
My love
Has not yet spoken
So you have not yet heard
The eight
Letters I've been thinking--
Three syllables, three words

You
D Nov 2013
You
You're mood swings,
Side to side,
Back and forth
Like the seas coming
Tide

And it's only a matter
Of time
Before another wave
Rolls in
I'm lying vulnerable
On the shore,
Cool water brushes
Skin

But where my body lies,
Exposed to the sky,
The sun chooses to hide
Rays do not shine,

It sends not warmth
To battle the cold,
There is no more fire  
Burning inside my soul  

I'm numb

Without you here
Its like a tidal wave of depression
Knowing your near
It keeps getting worse by the second

I'd much rather suffer on the days
you turn your cheek to me,
Then ever be apart from you on the days
Where I long to caress your cheek

That the reason I'm still living now,
Is all because you said "Hello."

We kiss and it's rough-- I like it, you see.
It reminds me that all the pain inside
Isn't as bad as I make it seem.

It reminds me I'm still alive, still breathing, you know?
That though my mind is in auto pilot,
My body still lives on.

I just wish I didn't like it so much, then maybe I could stop,
But that something stirring inside me head screams,
"No! You can't quit our drug!"

And you are my drug-- that's exactly what this is.
I've come to crave you like an addict
Does his next fix.

When I'm on you my thoughts are clouded, wrong.
It feels as though I'm flying high--
But only for so long.

Then the high slips away and suddenly I'm free falling.
No parachute, spiralling down--
It's your name I'm calling.

But no one ever said your addictions answer back.
Instead they sit smug and smiling,
Plotting their next attack.

Between Us
D Nov 2013
I'm creating distance
Between us,

You don't know it's there,
But you can feel it--
The tension
Building it the air

Between us.

Is It You I Asked For?
D Nov 2013
This is what I wanted--what I want, right?
To be held close with no escape
Tightly in the night?

With the stars desire burning above,
His once tender kisses turn into something rough.
What use to be soft nipping on his part,
Becomes wild, animalistic bites of love.

He tells me to stop fighting
And give in to his touch.
I yield to his voice,
My own lost in the rush
Of my heart beating against my chest,

My soft flesh against his--
This isn't what I wanted,
But you cannot change what already is.

— The End —
