No I'm not sleeping.
But I'm not awake.
Won't open my eyes,
As this new day breaks.
I'm in that transitional,
Space in between.
Where everything's fine,
Even if it's a dream.
I breathe in and out,
But I'm not alive.
I can't open my heart,
If I want to survive.
Existing in nothingness,
Not fit to be.
Fuck, aren't you glad,
That you are not me.
Am I adverse to some happiness?
Am I afraid now to smile?
Am I so sure that I'll fall to the floor,
That my instincts say, 'Now! Run a mile.'
Am I quite sure that it's working.
Am I convinced this is right?
Am I devout in my wavering doubt,
Or is this why I can't sleep at night.
Am I immune to their staring?
Am I prepared as they vent?
Am I inclined to say what's on my mind,
Or shall I just take a chance and relent?
Do I believe your intentions,
Are as pure as you would indicate.
Or am just waiting and thus hesitating,
To end this before it's too late.

Dead on the floor
I am smiling, but it means nothing.
That wonder has gone from my soul.
I'm living each day like a robot.
Going through motions but not feeling whole.
I'm working, but not for my own ends.
I'm trying so hard to keep up.
I'm hiding just how I am dying.
And how all that I haves' not enough.
I'm acting like everything's normal.
I'm helping them get through their day.
But ask me if I want some assistance.
And I will send you on your way.
I'm hoping this feeling will end soon.
And things just go back as before.
But if you ever have trouble locating me.
I'm most likely dead on the floor.
Suddenly it's very real,
Excrutiating loss.
Sorrow like bereavement,
Counting up the cost.
Dressing up and dressing down,
How we faked our laughter.
Tell me again why you were there,
Such a becautiful disaster.
Listening then to them confess,
Never judging, what a mess.
Hoping for some empathy,
None forthcoming, dim-witted me.
No more obtuse, midnight trysts.
One who loves, One slits his writs.
One pretends they've mutual diversions.
One who shocks with strange perversions.
One so twisted, he'll never mend,
One who never was a friend.
One so bitter…..but weren't they all.
As we roamed the hallowed Hall.
Bring it back, just bring it back,
That wonderful elation.
That came from merely seeing your name,
Or simple conversation.
I cannot stand this heavy heart,
Though I know it will pass.
These days are bleak, I want them gone,
Before my heart returns to glass.
Ice corrupts the edges.
Puck rears his ugly head.
I want to laugh and grin again.
Not wish that I were dead.
My fetid veins pulsating,
With anger, hurt and spite.
Something….please….get me through this,
And show me I was right.

Stumbelina's Back.
Tempted then to run away,
Not sure if it's right.
Is it worth the trepidation?
To have peace of mind each night.
Barriers are back in place,
No chance they're coming down.
If you are looking for mind meld,
You're in the wrong part of town.
Stumbelina's back in charge,
This time she's staying put.
She only opens up her mouth,
So that she can change foot.
No man is an Island,
But this girl is for sure.
No point in trying to reach her now,
You'll only be ignored.
No matter what she shows you,
It will not be what's real.
Her faith once broken hard to mend.
It's just the way she feels.
Eyes wide open
Heart closed shut
One more time kicked in the gut.
Sitting pretty?
Got it all?
You must be kidding, see me fall.
Overacted,
Ghosts begone,
Titania to your Oberon.
Such confusion,
It will pass.
Once enamoured of an ass.
Is it too much,
When all is done.
For just one friend to rely upon?
My decision - Why does it hurt by Breaking-The-Girl, literature
Literature
My decision - Why does it hurt
I've been having a little trouble
Getting over you
I've tried sleepless nights, Cheap Red Wine,
The messed up things I do.
If I'd had any inclination
Of where your talents lay
I'd have turned around before I came
And been better off that way
It's like looking through a window pane
With glass all full of cracks
Staring at the blue above
I see it staring back.
I've thought endlessly about the end
And all the things we said
And this constant inability
To purge you from my head
I'm not saying that I want you back
Nor do I want you gone
All I want is to exist
Without you being the one.
My fool on the hill. by Breaking-The-Girl, literature
Literature
My fool on the hill.
Afraid and alone sat my fool on the hill
No end to his questions, he's asking them still
Tormentor Tormented for that is my will
For he is completely alone.
With quivering heartbeat he looks to the skies
Aeons of torture will dance in his eyes
But none of this world will heed to his cries
For he is completely alone.
With mind in such torment, he falls to his knees
Nobody will hearken to his angst ridden pleas
He cries out for mercy to earth, wind and trees
For his completely alone.
"Take me then Satan," my fool meekly offers.
"I have enough sinners so why should I bother?"
Wander eternity void of another
For you are completely
The sky was crying softly when I heard you'd gone away
Everyone was sorry then, but what else could they say
No one there could understand, when we were only friends
That I stood there clutching broken heart
That pain will never end
So I stood there on the edge of time
I tried to take it in
Another soul was skyward bound
A new life must begin
All the things I wish I'd said
Like shadows in my mind
Keep telling me at every chance
We have so little time.
Moon fell from the sky – you were gone
Nothing left to make me carry on
You could have told me you would end it all
But sometimes …. Sometimes …. Even Angels fall.
If I had been there on your darkest night
Could I have done something to make it right
Suddenly I feel so very small
Sometimes … Sometimes…. Even Angels fall
Now there is emptiness where there was pain
Things surrounding me are not the same
I tried to heal myself but SCREW IT ALL
Sometimes …. Sometimes …. Even Angels fall.
Hour Ran Into Hour by Breaking-The-Girl, literature
Literature
Hour Ran Into Hour
The night had gone, but daybreak would not follow.
Yesterday, by some bittersweet alchemy, would merge with empty tomorrow
And leave me void of reason to be.
But then to waken and sense that you are there
Too far away to touch
Yet being touched by you constantly
Beginning to let go feels like losing myself all over again
But fleetingly I see some hope
Which for now, is the first step to freedom
Come and lay down by my side
I know this could be our last goodnight
Don't protect me with your lies
Remember I can see your eyes
It's not me that sees you leave
Or wipes the tears upon her sleeve
In fact my heart can't quite believe
Just what happens when two souls deceive.
As the daybreak filters through
The curtains closed last night by you
No one outside would have a clue
Just what the pain of love can do
How come every love song
Always starts the same
You get someone getting helpless
When they hear someone's name
When the stars have fallen
No more tears to cry
You just lie there wondering
How to live your life
There may be heartache and tears in your eye
Nothing ever comes of telling so many lies
And if tomorrow the sun doesn't shine
At least I'll know I've tried and maybe some day you'll be mine.
Love takes no explaining
What is there to say
You could try forever
But words get in the way
There's only tomorrow
Yesterday is pain
What never was has ended
And will never be again.
There may be heartache and tears in your eye
I hope this passes soon by Breaking-The-Girl, literature
Literature
I hope this passes soon
I wish I didn't know you
I wish we'd never met
So bad this evening
The worst I've had it yet
Sometimes it's better when nobody knows your name
Sitting underneath the moon again.
Call it intuition
Or maybe second sight
I had a premonition
Of the way I'd feel tonight
One moment perfect but it never stays the same
Sitting underneath the moon again
I can hear you breathing
I can feel your pain
Not quite believing
I'm leaving you again
Should I tell you or just let you guess my name
Sitting underneath the moon again
Screwed on Screwed Up by Breaking-The-Girl, literature
Literature
Screwed on Screwed Up
Got my head screwed on – but my minds screwed up
There's a crack in the pavement that looks a lot like my heart
But you don't know because everything looks fine to you
And all that's blue is my eyes
There's a clock on the wall that eats away at my life
And you can't see but I just feel it slip away
And all that's red is my mind
There's a picture I carry of people I once knew
But one by one they disappear and fade away
And all that's yellow is my nerve
There's a longing inside me I know I can't fulfil
Gradually I know this need will disappear
And all that's left is black and white
Am I adverse to some happiness?
Am I afraid now to smile?
Am I so sure that I'll fall to the floor,
That my instincts say, 'Now! Run a mile.'
Am I quite sure that it's working.
Am I convinced this is right?
Am I devout in my wavering doubt,
Or is this why I can't sleep at night.
Am I immune to their staring?
Am I prepared as they vent?
Am I inclined to say what's on my mind,
Or shall I just take a chance and relent?
Do I believe your intentions,
Are as pure as you would indicate.
Or am just waiting and thus hesitating,
To end this before it's too late.
All my world belongs to you,
I am yours, it's true,
But they don't know your name.
Life isn't worth it when your not here,
I'd give anything for you to be near,
But they don't know you name.
I love you more then words can say,
We'll be together forever someday,
But they don't know your name.
Sweet words you speak light the air,
What others say I no longer care,
But they don't know your name.
Over and over you make me smile,
So life no longer seems a trial,
But they don't know your name.
Nothing matters but my love for you,
Someday they will know that too,
But they don't know your name.

Hey :)
Mood has improved slightly, but still having slightly murderous tendencies. :rage:
Anyways….
A 'friend' of mine is going away for a while soon and they just gave me a song to sort of 'remember' :roll: them by. Overly dramatic ;) but I love the song….not sure about the 'friend' Some of you may have heard of the band, some of you may not be into this sort of breathy, girly lyrics, but if you get the chance to listen to something called 'Country Mile' by a band called 'Camera Obscura' give it a try :D
Hopefully the poetry will get less angsty soon.
