I wrote this one.October is...
October is the liveliest month
The leaves, skipping and scattering on the ground
in the wind, the wind blowing so perfectly, whispering
through my hair, he roar in my ears, filled
with nothingness but the hum of nature
Their branches, black lace against a stormy, windy sky
The windows, unfortunately shut, keeping
out the sweet, crisp air
The sun never shines quite as strongly in Autumn, and yet
it has more clarity and light then any other time
Autumn arrives when the air bites
and snaps when you breath through your nose and
the chills give life and beauty
The summer is not dying, the world is beginning,
with a clear, stormy earth
Summer is not over and gone, summer is not dying, dying, a new
life of cool, dry, gray, stormy light will surpass
even the most sunny azure sky
The cold night, the stars splayed across the sky
like so many diamonds,
the clouds, fluffy and white, given light by the moon, who
wants them to have a turn and lighting up the night sky
The moon, a hanging orb of silverly brilliance,
watching the trick-or-treaters, as if to shield them
from darkness, and giving then light to illuminate the night
and let then see their exhilaration through a sparkling veil
The woods and nights are full of magic,
the death of October celebrated in a whirlwind night
of friendship, laughter and a supernatural joy
I shall post a link when I get my poems on my profile...
Mod
His, He, Her, Me
I led a simple life
I was the simple steak knife
In a drawer with the forks
With the spoons, and two corks
Everyday I got thinner
While cutting HIS dinner
But I was still sharp
Though I'd started to warp
My use was still good
And my use would remain as it should
And then there was one day,
Three corks were thrown away
Into my box shaped drawer,
And I saw another cork fly to the floor.
I was grabbed from behind,
HE had lost his mind
And HE chased HER 'round
'Til she fell on the ground
HIS intent was plain,
That I was useful again,
As I felt a slash like none before
I saw HER crawl away to the door
But to no avail,
No I would not fail
My use was my life, don't you see?
So I did what was bid, just for HE
And while I was being rinsed for no reason
HE realized that he had committed high treason
I was dropped to the tile
And in that while
As she lay on the floor
It was then that I realized I was useful no more.
Caitlin
I wrote you a letter
But it got lost in the mail
I wrote you an E-Mail
But to no avail
I wrote you a poem
But somehow it was wrong
I wrote you another
But called it a song
I gave you my love
But you didn't care
And when I needed you
Most, you weren't there
I tried not to hurt you
Though you made it hard
Instead on your Birthday
I got you a card
I cry when I think of you
But I get through the day
I gave you my heart
But you threw it away
Love
Well here it is, you better listen up if you care
It doesn't matter cause I know you don't
You just feel bad for me, that's all
Well I don't want your false sympathy!
So just listen to the soft pitter patter
Of the silent music of the night
Cause while you may say everything'll be alright
It's only cause things are with you
So maybe you haven't been through the pain
Or you forgot, it was washed away like the rain
It ain't bittersweet just bitter
And you know it is
And even if you did know me, you still wouldn't care
What's so sunny about the sunflower
They still have a dark center
It's like the heart of mankind
We all want to be needed and wanted
But we're all too scared to give
Because it's always the same, all hurt and no gain
And you know it is
Cause like I said no one wants to give
Only to get
And we never forget
That's why we won't give
Cause we remember the pain
The crying in the rain
Red eyes and red faces
But this ain't about you, it's about me,
But wait I'm just like you,
Don't you see?
Huh, you wouldn't think so would you?
Cause you don't care
You can't see past what I say
To my soul
Where the truth lies
And only those few may enter
But those who are allowed
Are the ones that don't care
The ones I can trust are the ones that aren't there
So just hug me and hold me tight
Because that's all I've ever wanted
Is to feel alright
To have someone there AND someone that cares
But I guess I'm not going to find it here
So just leave me alone,
There's nobody home
The doors locked
And they key hidden deep
So only the best will hear me weep
Good luck being the one
They're always the same
One minute they're helping
And the next I'm going insane
So don't try to comfort me cause it won't work
And you won't
So it doesn't matter
Just leave me alone
I can take care of myself
I can deal with it myself
I can do it myself
All alone on my own
I don't need a sidekick or a best friend
And this is where this story ends.
Love(Ya I know it has the same title, it's a different love)
So let's turn the page one more time.
We don't need to rehearse, I know the first verse
and you know all the lines.
When will I finally learn to let you go,
I just don't know,
I know you couldn't stay
it's not my fault anyway.
So let's just leave things be, all of us,
though I can never be free.
I know you might not know,
but we could have had a chance
if not for your decision,
but I'll never forget that slow dance.
When will you ask me?
Maybe when I finally stop searching.
Light
Don't go.
Oh no.
Is it wrong or right?
Been challenged by your thoughts and actions.
It's so hard to tell what's good and what's bad
cause we're all going mad
in this suicide chaos attraction.
Oh it looks good right,
so let's just go tonight,
you sure look right,
but it's only an illusion to you
to confuse your mind,
and you'll get left behind in your fight
Dark
Ya, 'cause that makes you wrong in more ways than one.
Do you really exist?
I know you do, you don't want to.
It's a half and half, lose lose.
Who decides what's right?
Don't be stupid, he's not smarther,
watch his foolishness,
after all,
"innocence is bliss".
From My Head
What does it take for you to notice?
For you to notice me,
For you to notice that I need you
That I can't let you go
And why can't I?
Why can't I let you go?
What draws me to you, more than anyone else?
I just want to be friends, and that's all
I want you to call me back, answer an E-Mail
Hear your voice
And that you're okay
But you don't care
At least you don't seem too
And I don't want to tell you how I feel
Not that it would change things if I did
You wouldn't understand
Just like everyone else.
You don't know what I go through
But neither does anyone else
So it doesn't really matter
Except, I care that you don't care, that you're not there
That you don't understand
And you don't even try
So I just need to let you go
No matter how hard it is
'They' were right when they said to let you go
I didn't want to
And I still don't
Well, now I've changed my mind and so I do
I just need to forget about you!
Like I did with everyone else
Because it doesn't matter
Why am I so attracted to you?
Just in a friendly way, nothing more
I know you're busy
But is that just an excuse to say that you don't care?
I guess that's what it seems like
So I'll just accept defeat
But I'll never let you go
No not fully
I'll still keep your number in my phone
And I might just send you a text when I'm alone
Not that you'll answer, so it doesn't (really) matter
I've got to let you go, no matter how hard it is
It'll make things like life easier for both of us
I won't bother you anymore
And I'll let you go so I can keep on living
It's not like we're close
Or that we ever were
Except that one night in the car
When we had fun and we just talked
And that's all
And that's all I want to do
Is just talk with you
And we can talk about you
And not me
Because I guess I'm just a nuisance, you see
I guess that's how you see me
But you won't see this
And I won't show you, though it crossed my mind
Not that you'd care if I did
So tonights the night I said I'd let go
But, like it's that easy
So tonight will be the first step to a new year
A year of forgetting you
And forgetting the past
Living for the future
Because, what else is there?
The beautiful memories turn bitter
And just when I start to laugh they make me cry
Because you're not here anymore
And neither is anyone else
And no one understands
They never did.
They never cared.
And they still don't.
All my friends are here.
In this computer
On this phone
Texts and E-Mails and Chat Boxes is how I socialize
Because there's no one else who's here anymore
But I try to tell myself about the two that stayed behind
But they're both busy
One works
One has kids
They're both married
So they're busy
And here I am gone
For two whole months
With a TV and a comp and nothing to do
And it doesn't even matter, nothing about you
So here's to the new year that I never meant this to be about
I'll go hang out
With one of the other two
Forget the awkwardness
I need to get out of the house
To socialize with people I can see
What the heck is wrong with me?!
I know there is...
But I won't tell you
Because, like I said, no one understands
I mean, I know some of you do
Or you'll say you will
Just because you have your stupid false sympathy
But you're not here
You can't see
What being alone
Does to me.
