Sing To MeA veritable waste
In an unknown atmosphere …
A long and empty space
Between what is gone and what remains here.

A fear I never knew
Yet feel deep down, completely
Encapsulated, and brand new.
A delicate balance, imprisoned so freely.

And what is left to do
But to hear your voice again?
Ringing clear, sounding so true -
A lilting solo that just began.

A common courtesy,
A loving, charitable stance.
Sing to me so graciously
And give me just one more chance.

Endlessly, I feel you -
Please take me by the hand.
Grace me with that voice, do,
And leave me not to this land

Of violence and make-believe,
I dare not share this woe.
We should

What You're worthWhat is then the worth of time?
An instant, an hour, a night and day,
Moments with you are ever sublime,
For these what price shall I pay?
As sun melts to rain and day to night
Whispers continue by star shines that keep,
On darkest of days each mutter my light,
Arcane confidences in heart held deep,
Never left, never lost, never taken by years,
Seconds tick on and eternally reside
In bottled up laughs and waterless tears,
Their importance greater than oceans wide.
Every second you breathe, you smile, you live,
Is one that for nothing I’d ever give.

What Should Never BeYou were the warmth
I never knew could burn so
you were the familiar
who never woke as I turned to go

I was the protection
I never knew I could trust
you were the temptation
I thought of as anything but lust

Now here is this doubt
I never saw coming to me
There once was wisdom
but that has been usurped easily

An ease of hand there
that I never could expect
fingers tracing on me
the new boundary lines to respect

But you with those lips
I never dreamed to feel softly
and me with these shackles
you never wanted to give in to me

You were the wrong dream
the one with all the broken parts
but I was gone in the light
after you had found my fa

Our LoveI raise my hand to yours.
Our love will open doors.
My love is yours truly.
My heart yours to keep.

Our love will open doors.
Will you be mine?
My heart yours to keep.
Our love will let us shine.

Will you be mine?
Without you I will weep.
Our love will let us shine.
Or let me hear that final beep.

-HeartlessTales

Reflecting HeartsOur smiles reflected
In each other's eyes.
And our heart's danced
In each other's gaze.

Yours was the smile
That made me laugh.
Yours, the laugh
At which I hid my blush

What was it you were asking
In each glance at me?
What were your eyes wanting
Each time they questioned me?

Could it have been
The right time?
Could you have been
The right one?

But before it had even started
You had walked away.
Before it had even begun
I felt it slip away.

Because your heart was empty
When mine was full.
Your heart was miles away
When mine lay at your door.

Learning to FlyWe are the wretched ones
Without purpose or name
The ones the whole world shuns
Who suffer spite and shame

And we know solitude
Like a dear old friend
Without a parachute
We fell to meet our end

But maybe you and I
Could plummet hand in hand
And find some way to fly
Yes, maybe even land

ExpectationsHe wasn't what you thought he'd be.
Sometimes the looks are all you see.
Your expectations soared up high.
And now to him you feel a tie.

Your heart at times, turns the other way.
Your pains, you wish, would go away.
You want to tell him, yet don't know what to say.
You feel it's a game that you don't want to play.

To get away would be a pleasure.
The extent of your problems, you cannot measure.
Whoever said that love is pain.
Today my respect has truly gained.

MissingI do know why I'm missing you,
Because soon enough isn't soon.
I do know why the starlight calls,
Your voice echoes through moon lit halls,
I close my eyes are dreamers do.

Id say, it's as if you some how knew,
That my dreams brought me back to you.
Your name written here on the wall,
I am in love,

I wake from me dreams far to soon,
And soon I wont know what to do,
But thoughts of you are above all,
and I sit here patiently awaiting the call,
Then sleep once more dreaming anew,

I am in love.

If Only You Knew...You come to me like shadow,
A whisper on the wind.
I know not where you're going...
I care not whom you've been.

You haunt my waking hours,
Alight my darkened dreams...
I think you're my obsession,
At least, that's how it seems.

I watch for you to see me,
I wait for you to know...
Without comprehension,
My feelings seem to grow.

I want for you to hold me,
I need to feel you near...
Give anything to know your scent...
Or for, your voice, to hear.

A thousand times I've pictured,
The moment in my mind
In my arms...the love that you,
So desperate, seek to find.

Too shy, am I, to tell you...
But how I wish you knew...
How much my...every mome

The First LetterAs I read your letter I held my breath
Every word pulled my heart from my chest
I can't wait until you read what I wrote
This might be cheesy but you float my boat
Filling me up with much needed happiness
I know at Boot Camp you'll do your best
Here I'll stay until you come for me
I believe in out love, Baby
So do your sit ups and your crunches
While all of us here miss you bunches

To My SweetheartOnce upon a time,
In a land not so far away,
there was a teenaged girl
wondering if she should stay.

She faked a smile each morning
and no one seemed to see,
that within that happy façade
she held such misery.

Until the day she met someone
who changed her mind for good;
though how that person found her,
she never understood.

Each day they talked for hours
and that happy feeling grew
until the day they finally met,
and her heart jumped high and flew.

She wanted so much to hold your hand,
to hug you tight and say
the happy things you made her feel
most every given day.

But she bit her lip each passing hour,
held her breath and hoped

The Flame of the Cold WarThe evil of our past fire
Led to possibly our last desire.
It’s ironic that the heat of our passion
Led to war in the coldest fashion.

The Man of Winter built this wall
One strong enough to never fall.
You on side and me on the other
Dear God, I miss you, brother.

I wish to climb
Climb
Climb
But thorns line the border
I hope they dull and coat with grime
As we get older

Now I wish to run
Run
Run
Until the cracked wall give way to sun

And I hope cement turns to glass
So that I can see that you’re okay.
And I wish to gaze into your eyes
Forever, on a never-ending day

But as I watch and a tear falls down my cheek,
I press my ha

Lyrical Deja vuSing me something new;
When everything is hard to bear
Sing a song that’ll surely last
Inaudible words fall upon deaf ears
Life trickles through a silent hourglass

Sing a song of sweetened hue;
Spin a tale that breaks the cast
A tasteful tune not heard before.
That does not revive the past

A song of colours red through blue;
Though life is hard and love is war
Unlike the strain of honeyed throats
A choir should be fresh and raw

Perhaps you have sung a song too few;
Avoid clichés, Shakespearean quotes
Tell me how you really feel
Something marvelled at by most

It’s well and truly overdue;
Rough waves or sweet birdsong
If the melody is strong, clear
This time I’ll sing along
Sing me something new.

Shall I compare thee to a winter's day?Shall I compare thee to a winter’s day?
You were as luminous as the glowing moon.
My heart is still now you have walked away,
Your glow has faded, you will see that soon.
Your heart was cold and still like frozen ice,
Your words as harsh as thrashing arctic winds,
Your love had my heart caught up in your vice,
But now all you see are my own few sins.
Your skin was flawless as the pure white snow,
Your soulful eyes are really frozen lakes,
That ice forbids your emotions to show,
And I still fear this caused your heart’s mistakes.
One day your fragile icy heart will crack,
And then you can be sure you will come back.

Stolen My HeartYou've stolen my heart and it's not fair.
You know if I could, I'd be there,
But the distance only brings me pain.
I almost feel like I'm going insane.
I don't know what I should do.
I feel like I'd be better without you.
To love someone that I could hold.
This computer screen's a little cold.
I love you more than I thought I could,
But the question is whether I should.
So many guys that want my heart,
But you had it from the very start.
And now that I know that we might be.
I could never give up that possibility.
I pretend it's not so obviously true.
I'd do anything to be with you.
I'd wait a year. I'd wait forever.
I just want us to be toge

It's not that I don't want to, I just can't.You're a shining star, and I know that's cliché,
That's really cliché,
But you are.
You're this—you're this ray of light
And it's so fucking bright that it almost hurts to look
But I can't stop looking.
You're a god-damned supernova,
And you're special, you're so, so special
You light up everything you touch,
You save everyone you love
And

And I'm nothing, really
I'm a speck of dust compared to you
I'm empty and numb
And all I do is ruin the things I touch
All I do is hurt everyone
I'm so fucked up; it's not even funny
Because I can't help it,
I can't help how messed up I am
And I'm ugly and unpleasant
And I don't want to

DrowningYou sit there and you're drowning in your sorrow
You don't know what's going on anymore
There's a war raging outside your door
Matching the one raging inside you
And between the two of them, there's nowhere left to go
You're drowning

Drowning in your heartache
Wondering where it went wrong, or
When it got this bad
You can't remember, you can't remember when you started to lose yourself
When the smiles turned into frowns
When you went from full to empty—
And it hurts, you're sore and you're tired,
So, so tired of the shit you live with
So tired of living in general
You're drowning

It's a lonely night every night
And you're a

Maybe that's what's worseOne upon a time, there were four children. They were grown, far into the ages of adulthood, but they were children. They carried bits of a child in them, clinging desperately to a corner of their hearts with a firm grip, unwilling to let go. They were children.

One was a fighter—grappling with his head and his hands to protect his heart that was left back home, back with his siblings and his wife. He graced himself with a uniform every morning and paroled his area, keeping it safe and sound so that no one he loved could be taken away from him, so that no one he needed would ever leave. He had the spirit of a soldier, always did. He washed th

Enoughyou used me, you know
took me by the heart and swung me around as if I were a rag doll
as if I couldn't feel anything
as if it didn't even matter if I did

but it hurt, my god did it hurt
it ripped at my chest and pulled at my skin
and I hurt, I hurt so bad
but at least I knew that I loved.

I knew that I loved you enough
because it broke open my insides until they were a bleeding, broken mess
and my cheeks were stained with tears and makeup
my eyes were puffy and so, so dull
and you called me beautiful
you said I looked so beautiful like this
empty and vacant and battered
so I let you do it again and again and
again

you calle

I Think I Might Need You

I think I might need you and the light that you bring but I'm out of control and I can't feel a thing. I can't feel a thing and it's making me sick I think I might need you but it's all just a trick It's all just a trick and alone here I'm sat There's no one around and it's cold in my flat It's cold in my flat and my knees keep on shaking There're ghosts in the walls and my heart keeps on breaking My heart keeps on breaking and it's sad that it's true I think I might need you but that's nothing new.

WELP
see I can't do, like, rhyming poetry well.
EVERYTHING I WRITE SOUNDS CORNY
/flips a table

but I kind of felt like stretching my brain a little bit away from the Marine Biology exam I'm cramming for

so I wrote this.

_{_{I hope it's not completely awful sos}}

Can't do rhyming well? Pish Posh, what a lie; this is brilliant! And a quick hint if you get stuck on a rhyme, there is this amazing rhyming dictionary I use online and as an app on my phone called b-rhymes. It comes in uber-handy. You should try it out.

~therainontheirparade Jan 8, 2013

It not completely awful at all!
It's just a different kind of rhyme format you've used, it's good though.

~therainontheirparade Dec 6, 2012

Ah! Thank you kindly. C':

I really appreciate it and I'm glad you thought it was good ;w;

Welcome.
All of your stuff is good! Even the bad stuff, viewed by someone else can be seen as good. So every piece is always great.
