HelloGoodbye Poetry (16)

I've been told I need to
learn to sell myself.

Well I don't trust you,
I've given up on wealth.

No amount of cars,money, or houses
could ever make me feel any less alone.

And as my friends have found their spouses
there's not a single number in my phone

That I can call when I'm feeling down
I'm pretending to be prince with a cardboard crown.

And now I know that it's too late
For our love to return and graduate
For it to grow
And for us to love
And for us to be loved
And for me to tell you
That no matter how far apart we are-

You'll always have a home here.

Falling in love is dangerous.
People say your feelings are preposterous.

Something lovely smiles at you from afar.
Then there's that twinkle in your eye, a little star.

And you'll talk and learn and love each other's habits.
Or crash and burn, let's face facts this-

Isn't promised as for ever, even if till death do us part is said.
I've been dreaming of my own forever,as I lay alone in our bed.

Call me what you like, you can call me what you will.
I'm only me.

I wish I could fly, oh what a thrill-
over all seven seas.

And they'll all tell me I'm an old soul and I'll find love somewhere.
Something I've always been told, but you were never there.

I hope that the last breaks your heart if you ever see it,
Close your eyes, breathe three times, then live it.

I was a fool to think that it could last
We started too soon, I fell too fast
Love's not as cut and dry as you think it is
It's sure as hell not something parents teach their kids.

Your humanity is showing
You've got so many heart's a' breaking

It's amazing how you're glowing
Now back down this river I'm floating- on.

I woke up at noon
Same old kind of day.

We re-met shortly after June
with so much to say.

She won my heart
in no time flat.

But now she's gone
and won't give it back.

Say I'm...over bearing.
So I guess I'm over bearing...

And I've been overhearing what you say...
And seeing what you've done.

I've lost all my will to pray...
Like a soldier with an empty gun.


So leave now...
just as fast you came.
Don't frown...
we both made our mistakes.

You're my one...
from forward of that day.
I tried so hard...
but never cut the cake.

I hope that this get's your attention
But who am I to fight for it?

I've sung almost every word I've ever written
But never made it back out of the pit.

Limbless I'm still crawling towards the answer
But I'm constantly distracted by the cancers.

If you're looking for
Someone with vision
I can't help you
I'm blind
I can't handle
The heat in this kitchen
But only if you'd open your eyes
You wouldn't believe, what you'd find.

I'm not lost or broken now
But I still hear the sounds
Of all their voices crying out

There's a love in me that won't be taken
No one will take it, I couldn't fake it.

But now this soul is breakin'
I just need to quit, to get over this.

So if you love someone one
You know who not to give up on
If you want someone
You know who you're fighting for.

To all of the women out there,
I love you.
To every man in the world,
I know you.

I love each and every one of you equal
But I need to travel this road alone
Like the world's great turtle.

So this'll be the last I write for awhile
I hope it made you smile
Now I'm all gone.
I'm all gone.

A song of mine.


Verse I:

Now that you're gone
everything's slowing down
I've got no pulse
did my heart just give out

Rigor mortis sets in
now I'm dropping to the ground
Palor mortis too
and everyone's just
passing me by
like nothing's wrong

at all...
at all...
at all...

Chorus:

I
know you don't believe me
When I
say that I'm in love with you
Please
lover
just say yes to me

I know I'm crazy
I know it's true

The things that I would do
just to be with you

But tonight
there's no way that I'll die for you , honey

Verse II:

You say that you don't want to be with me
yet say that
you have feelings
well feel all you want
you were the light
now I can't see

My temperature is dropping
algor mortis
My bloods all in my toes
livor mortis
No I wasn't prepared for this

Now my feelings are decomposing....


Chorus:

I
know you don't believe me
When I
say that I'm in love with you
Please
lover
just say yes to me

I know I'm crazy
I know it's true

The things that I would do
just to be with you

But tonight
there's no way that I'll die for you , honey


Break:

You're a sweet poison
like a cake soaked in bleach

No mental stability
you might be deadly I think

We got it all wrong today
and there's no tomorrow

Didn't want it this way
but time is only borrowed.

Another song.

Chorus:

I wish the sun
didn't have to rise with you
I'll be in love from sunset
till' sunrise

Verse I:

Before the sunset
I had no regrets
but right now

As we lay next to each other
I know I'll
never want another

Eye's wide open
in place we're frozen
and I can't think of
any other place
I'd rather be- no.

Chorus:

I wish the sun
didn't have to rise with you
I'll be in love from sunset
till' sunrise

Verse II:

Now as the sun rises
and I turn to stone
head to toe

I promise I won't ever falter
because I know right now
I've got be
strong enough for two
and in your eyes I see
where I want to be
now and forever

Bridge:

When this day ends
will we still be
what ever it is
that we are
you beautiful-
exploding star.

I'll love you from sunset till sunrise.

Chorus:

I wish the sun
didn't have to rise with you
I'll be in love from sunset
till' sunrise

Break:

One day together
and the moon steals away our time

It's three below out
with embers falling from the sky

It's not some random
meteor shower
It's heaven letting me now
I'm meant to be-with you.

Trying so hard to explain myself
but I live a life of mysteries.

I'm doing the best with the hand I've been dealt
But my heart's are still hiding- you're not getting me.

It feels as though someone has clubbed me in my sleep
and I just want to stay in bed today.

The ace of spades has always been hidden with me
I save it for when it's not such a bright and sunny day.

If you're as confused as I
Then we shouldn't move forward

If you're convinced our world will die
Then we shouldn't move forward

Life's not full of rainbows and gum drops
It's full of the lessons and miseries to be learned.

I told them to grab a couple more mops
this prize isn't what you've earned.

This is a song I'm going to be recording quite soon, hope you enjoy.

Verse I:

You're a criminal
of the mind,

what a story
you can tell.

Stop and stare
wasting time,

this life's so boring
can't you tell?

Bridge:

Who am I?
I've tried to ask myself.

Who are you?
As you're undressing yourself.

Who are we?
To decide this couldn't last.

Who are they?
Running towards us from the past.


Verse II:

What's it gonna take
to get you off my mind?

You're unsure
I can tell.

Don't you know
we're running out of time?

Only seconds left
with so much to tell.



Bridge:

Who am I?
I've tried to ask myself.

Who are you?
As you're undressing yourself.

Who are we?
To decide this couldn't last.

Who are they?
Running towards us from the past.

Bridge:

There's a dot
on a watch
A ticking
to a clock
We don't care
for the things bought
There's a sickness
caught
But no lesson taught

Me eyes will wait
on this space
for many more days
Until you return
But these skies won't fake-
Happy this morn'.

Bridge:

Who am I?
I've tried to ask myself.

Who are you?
As you're undressing yourself.

Who are we?
To decide this couldn't last.

Who are they?
Running towards us from the past.

Another song I've recently written.

Chorus:

When these iridescent light's die down
And all these ghosts come out
Hearing oh so scary sounds
As all our clocks wind down

Through the dark, I'll find you
Over it all, I'll love you

Verse I:

The way your hair shines
in the sun
how your eyes pierce through me
like a sniper's gun
The way your hips sway
from side to side
How that pretty heart
let's me inside

I like it all
I like you
Oh...
I like you.

Chorus:

When these iridescent light's die down
And all these ghosts come out
Hearing oh so scary sounds
As all our clocks wind down

Through the dark, I'll find you
Over it all, I'll love you

Verse:

You make me the happiest person alive
And with every word you say

You've got me feeling so alive
So baby please just say

That you love me too
That you need me too
That you want me too
All I think of is you
Just say this back to me
And I'd marry you.

Chorus:

When these iridescent light's die down
And all these ghosts come out
Hearing oh so scary sounds
As all our clocks wind down

Through the dark, I'll find you
Over it all, I'll love you

End:

And oh-
I'm not exactly sure what love is
or what it's supposed to feel like
But I know right now
This just feels oh so right- now

Isn't it amazing how,
Even though your smile's out and about-

There's no one stopping to look at you,
Like everything you've done came too soon?

You pour out your heart with paper and pen,
But they've got the ideals of a child.

We all look for love every now and then,
And fall hard once in awhile.

But while I'm smiling at you, you're smiling at him.
And when I'm kissing you... you're thinking of him.

I could write a million songs with you for the topic...
Just for you to tell me... that's not it-

That's not what you want, that's not what you need.
You said you loved me... so I set you free.

Fly free,pretty dove... I'll miss you.

But even with our love so estranged,
Like a broken fret on a guitar...

There's no love here left to claim,
There's no air on mars.

Like crystal tears leaking down this devil's face
I couldn't feel more out of place

I miss the open air and that place I lay my head
I've got consequences to deal with since I made my bed

The fireflies light up the sky tonight
And here I am with out my jar again

The moonlight awakens all that spends the night with me
So won't you stay here with me?

I'd be your knight in battle-worn armor
You'd be my fairy tale princess

This is love, no more lore
So I feel the need to confess-

When your sun is coming up
And my moon begins to sleep

Just know that I can still see you...

Seeing your sun is more than enough
I hope my moon helps you sleep...
tonight.

I'm still dreaming... I'm with you.
As long as I'm dreaming, I'm with you.

I was asked by a man sitting at the bus stop
If you could have one power, what would it be?

I replied I wish that I could make all of time stop
That way everything would stay as I see.

I can feel the earth start to tremble
And the waves are crushing the shore

I was told that our soul is just a thimble
It only protects us from our core.

So... follow me down to the place where things stay still
And where people have no will

The world is still beautiful
If only I were in control.

I would save everything as it is...
We could stay like this...

Frozen in time, forever.
