And he'll fly right on by
As you stand on your stage
You thought you had his heart
But you just had a page
Of his life, now he's gone,
And you should lose some tears
Because you took him for granted
For years and for years
And when he's your first choice
Then he will not choose you,
He'll choose to be alone
Or find somebody new
Who would never treat him
Like her backup for-sure
But love him for the things
That you always ignored
And he will become the man
That you meet in your dreams
While you slowly unravel
And tear at the seams
And become someone new
Who you don't even get
And someone that this boy
Can quickly forget
You should smile more
when I see you around.
Your smile lights your eyes up,
but when I see you frown
I wonder what is going on
behind your yellow glasses;
if you're mean or if you're shy
or if it's just your classes.
I'd like to get to know you
and hear what you have to say,
but I'm not sure if your glare
is to makes strangers stay away.
Love kiss
6/26/2009
We were in an ocean of jade,
Holding hands and jumping waves,
Treading together in time,
And I thought that we were happy.
Sometimes we took a breath,
And went under,
A semester.
But I could see you through the green
And you were smiling at me.
The water was so warm then,
In our blood was ceaseless summer.
Slowly I started to get cold,
And I couldn't feel your warmth.
I did not know what to do.
I still saw you smiling,
But I thought that I was drowning.
I thought that you produced the cold,
So I tried to let go of you.
You promised we would float,
That you would warm me up again.
You left without a wa
The world is very big, I'm told.
I'm inclined to believe that they're right.
Responsibility scares me, and people make me nervous.
I'm only happy when I am just one.
Alone on my plane, refusing to intersect,
I control my safety and my smiles.
If the big world was ending, and people were running,
I'd be at their head, pulling only myself.
When there is you, I love twirling round you,
I love dipping into your consciousness.
Being an us rather than an I is nice,
Comforting, new, and kind of strange.
But when the winds are blowing,
And the purple clouds gathering,
My hand will slip from yours,
As I run.
That's just me.
You re
My mind is blank.
I decided to write you something for our anniversary,
And nothing spills out.
Guess you'll be getting prose instead, my dear.
I doubt any poetry will be happening here.
Still what to write?
Thinking of your charms, I think first of you arms,
And how warmly they hold me.
Next your eyes.
*Falls on ground and dies*
Staring and blinking and winking and squinting.
Sleeping and batting and measuring and misting.
I like next your voice.
Ringing but low, and the box is enclosed
In the throat.
Warm to the kiss.
Vibrating with laughs.
Riptide
My head is brushing substrate. Sand against
My neck tickles or burns. My ankles may
Be kissing salty foam. Cannot commence
Attempts to save myself, I sail away.
Perhaps I like this loss of power. Fate
Does not want me to lead this dance. Alone
And mercilessly twisting, I have ate
And drank the surf until the twirling groans
Of waves demanded back what I'd consumed,
And out it came direction sent unknown.
I surface, kicking still, from pull of moon,
Appendages drawn shoreward on their own.
My eyes both burned from salt and tears, but yet,
I half-wish I'd become the bride of depths.
July, July
July, July,
How far you lie
Behind me.
July, July,
How much has changed
Since we two fell?
July, July,
'Twas you and I,
Who conspired so.
July, you're gone.
July, I've finally left you.
July, I'm back to January.
July, July,
It didn't die.
I am sick and bitter.
July, July,
Come back, July,
To do the whole thing over.
July, July,
Under the sky,
May I merge then with now?
July, you sting.
July, you haunt.
July, I am confused.
July, July,
You don't go by
Like a good month aught to.
July, July,
You burned me, July.
You're coming up again.
July, July,
I'll say goodbye,
And never have a chance.
July,
Loved You
I loved you like a brother,
And you loved me like a cat.
I loved you like a best friend,
But I'm nobody's pet.
I loved you like a petty crush,
And you loved me like a head case.
I loved you like a first boyfriend,
Tiptoeing from base to base.
I loved you like an inspiration,
And you loved me like someone else.
I loved you with a heart not mine,
Simply envied on its shelf.
I loved you like a possession,
And you loved me like a queen.
I loved you with every bit of half a heart,
Not knowing how much you'd seen.
Boil
Decked out in gaudy makeup,
Product of tanning beds and hair straighteners.
Doll-sized clothes on a big-boned girl.
Anyone else I see it on; I pity their reflection.
But you, I saw you with curly hair,
Naked eyes, and an ethnic browning.
You were beautiful as a little girl.
If stripped away of your endorsements,
I bet you would shine through.
I knew you as a little girl.
I remember the strangest details.
Upon finding you a woman, I boil.
Teapot full of dancing molecules,
Wanting to rush the surface.
Our jargon feels natural in my heart.
I am naïve enough to think
It will come back in an instant.
The heart of the littl
How shall I acquaint us two in this introductory breath?
I am human, therefore call me dark harbinger of death.
True, my talent now lies dormant within this blood-soaked heart,
But my mind churns through the subtleties of this neglected, primal art.
It matters not that my hands have never siphoned air,
Because my hands, my head, my heart is capable, I simply do not dare.
The laws, stipulations, imposed morals shackling my breed
Help most fight the instincts we are convinced we'll never heed.
But a slip of the tongue, a skip of the brain, I could greet my legacy.
Mirroring your own, this is the killer inside of me.
And he'll fly right on by
As you stand on your stage
You thought you had his heart
But you just had a page
Of his life, now he's gone,
And you should lose some tears
Because you took him for granted
For years and for years
And when he's your first choice
Then he will not choose you,
He'll choose to be alone
Or find somebody new
Who would never treat him
Like her backup for-sure
But love him for the things
That you always ignored
And he will become the man
That you meet in your dreams
While you slowly unravel
And tear at the seams
And become someone new
Who you don't even get
And someone that this boy
Can quickly forget

but when I see you frown

or if it's just your classes.

CLONES
Don't expect me to stay in your mental nitch
Don't expect too much of me you'll see that I'm a bitch
Plan gone off without much hitch
Kill the messenger, slaughter the snitch
All clones of the same perfect person
When they lived we don't know; they died long ago
It's everyone's sin not his sin or her sin
It's all the fault of John and Jane Doe
A perfect race stamped with a number
Each model different by a single digit
A conscience of mind frozen in synthesized slumber
If there was ever a personality, that clone surely hid it
So now we're all the same
A thousand years ago it was a different game
Now we all share the blame
LITTLE GIRL LOST
They look at you
Like you're helpless
They say
"Where's you mom and dad?"
You look at them
Like they're scary
You cry
Because you're sad
Cause they're bad people
Scary people
People out to hurt you
Bad people
Scary people
People who want to hurt you bad
Don't give in and never give up
Keep your chin up don't let them see the tears
Don't loose hope, we're coming for you soon
Keep your head down, they'll find out all your fears
Little girl, lost in this big old world
You know you're better than them
Just pretend to do what they do
You know soon we're coming for you
Don't you dare
Conform to them
Littl
While eating a snack
I had to quit,
And on the table
I had to leave it.
I did all my chores,
And, to life, got back
But still often thought
Of the unfinished snack.
Great it was then,
Before I was able,
To finish the treat
Still there on the table.
I've had other pleasures
Since I tried it last
But did so enjoy
This one in the past.
I tried it once more,
And it tasted the same.
To this little snack
I give much acclaim,
Though interrupted,
By life and by fate.
This little treat
Still does taste great!
Sadie's Cartography
She's so thin her entire surface area is vein-y blue. It's her ocean, and the continents stand out boldly against it.
Each continent is a different shade of the rainbow. Some are purple, some are green. It all depends on how old they are, and how painful.
It's been months since she's worn short-sleeves. She used to love dressing up, but now she only wears sweaters. Turtle necks. Extra large.
She comes over every day for a sympathetic shoulder. Her new girlfriend works, so she's not afraid of being caught.
She used to cry when she came to her haven. But now she just stares. Sometimes she manages a smile, but t

I am sorry that I am never on this site. I would appreciate any feedback, and will respond when I finally get on the site and read it, because I write when I have reason to, and I would like to be better at it someday.
Regarding people's comments on my poetry:
Geraldine: No, she is not a real person. I know people like her, pieces of the character that I created, and was able to base this on many different rumors, girls, and experiences. And a little prodding from my immagination that loves to make up characters.
The Call: It's not important why Jerome called! What matters is that Molly, though affected, did not just drop her whole life (which I spent most of the poem building up) to run back to him.
I stole it from Chris again. Oops. But she loves me far to much to put a stop to my theivery.
Step 1: Get your playlist together, put it on random, and play.
Step 2: Pick your favorite lines from the first 25 songs that play.
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song the lines come from.
Step 4: Cross out the songs when someone guesses correctly. Or, if you're technologically inept, bold them.
Sooo. yeah. Guess that tune.

Rush of blood, oh, and a little bit of pain
