The Poets Outline
The Smiles so fake
Forget what they said
Its all so old
Its all been done before
Yea
We both know
I forgive you
For the pain
But not the intention
The sadness
The smiles so fake
Oh the smiles so fake
Dont waste your time
You already
Ravaged what was left
Of my mind
So stay out of my head
And P S dont try and
Bring me back up
From the dead
I forgive you
For being
The shadow of
My nightmares
The reason i was so scared
To trust at all
But now i ask
Where are you
Maybe because i am sorry
Maybe because i cannot sleep
Or dream
Maybe tonight
Ill count another 100 reasons why i miss you
And a 1000 more on why i dont
So dont waste your time
You already
Ravaged what was left
Of my mind
So stay out of my head
And P S dont try and
Bring me back up
From the dead
As i lie awake
And you lie again
Right to my face
I dont care on the outside
But you cut so deep
Internaly
I feel about ready
To explode
I check you wrists
Just to make sure its really you
I check the boots
To remember
How you stepped on my heart
And i check your eyes
To see the pain of a 1000 life times
Maybe its just pity...
Or maybe it was just pity then...
Dont waste your time
You already
Ravaged what was left
Of my mind
So stay out of my head
And P S dont try and
Bring me back up
From the dead
Just stop
I cant take
The smiles so fake
The damn smiles
So fake
The grin
The expression
The smiles so fake
The smiles so fake
The last dance
Save your faith
I dont need it
With me
Live your life
While your young
Dreams arent what they used to be
But you shot mine down so carelessly
Die like you lived
Dream like you were awake
And lose faith as if you had it to lose
Just dont give up the fight
So easily
Cuz we both know
This is the last dance
This is the last dance
It is the last time
Ill ask you to bother
To show up
And sneak out
And let your father be clueless
But maybe its too late
Dont turn out the lights
Unless your gonna
Light a candel
Dont look back
Unless you want to face your sorrow
Dreams arent what they used to be
But you shot mine down so carelessly
Die like you lived
Dream like you were awake
And lose faith as if you had it to lose
Just dont give up the fight
So easily
Cuz we both know
This is the last dance
This is the last dance
Yeah this is
The last dance
So so
Leave it alone
And live your life
This is the last dance
This is the last
Dance
Dance
Dance
This is your last chance
Dont let it slip by
Dont let it go
I know you only
Know what i told you to know
But dont let it go
This is
This
Is
The last dance.....
Happy holidays to the dead
Happy holidays to you
You old bag of bones
A few missing fingers
And a few maggots in your gut
Bones exposed
Being so old
But my friend
Happy holidays to you
Happy holidays
Old skeleton
In my closet
Where you rest
Never to attest
What happend
On that day
The judge will never
See another day
Once im through
So Happy holidays
Old skeleton
In my closet
Happy holidays to you
Happy holidays
Old zombie
Your missing limbs
And flesh patches
Accomponied by
You pet maggets
Which you cant spy
Through your old tattered coat
So Happy holidays
Old zombie
Happy holidays to you
Controversial in truth forgotten in death
This controversy
Its gonna overwhelm me
Oh please just hold me
I dont wanna go home alone again
Tonight
The scars
The burns
The not so forgotten
The controversy is gonna
Kill me
Just please let it be
The shutters snap and suddenly
Im alive again
The light shines
All eyes on me
And suddenly
Im home again
But plese
Dont turn off hte lights
Im afraid of what it might
Do to me
So please
Dont leave me here
Just keep me from myself
But dont try to fix me
Im not broken
Dont try to rip
These wounds
Back open
Its all been done
For so long
But i wont say so long
God forbid you are
Forgotten
The shutters snap
Lights flash
Tha stage
Curtains open
All eyes on me
Im alive
Lights out
Im alone
Awake but so asleep
Guess i died again
So please
Dont leave
This controversial
Truth
Might overwhelm me
Dont turn out the lights
The man who loved but not enough
Go oh go
Thats what you meant to do
Oh no
Did i misunderstand you
Let go
Of the grudges and labeled classes
And never
Look down on me
Be ashamed of me
Have less clarity
You cant afford such mistakes
But id have your back
Till death do us part
So go ahead
Shine so i can take my part
In your shadow
In your shadows so dark
Just let me be
In my insecurities
Just let me go
Let there be peace
As i stand
In your shadow
Let there be love
In the light which
Shines you on
To your ever closening goal
To forget me
Let there be peace
As i stand
In your shadow
I dare you to live
How you wanted
Before i
Slowed you down
It was your last dance
Free of
My pessimistic ideals
So whats the deal
Why not finish the job
Another day
I dare you to live how you wanted
Before i slowed you down
Let there be peace
As i stand
In your shadow
Let there be love
In the light which
Shines you on
To your ever closening goal
To forget me
Let there be peace
As i stand
In your shadow
Let go of your heart
Let go of your pride
Let go of what makes you mine
Let go of your pain
Let go of your pessimistic ideals
That i unintentionaly put into you
That i sorrowfuly made you
The doll in the courner
Look at her frown
From the black paint
From the one
Who loved her but not enough
To let her be who she is.......
It’s hard to say
Its hard to say
This all
Makes my feelings
Go astray
I swear its all
Burning me away
A fuse
To a bomb
So carefuly made
We took a walk
Just like every night
But it wasnt the same
I said i loved her
She said shed rather go
I wished i could of apologized
And held her close
I dont think i wouldve
Been able to let go
Ohh ohh ohh
Its hard to say
This all
Makes my feelings
Go astray
I swear its all
Burning me away
A fuse
To a bomb
So carefuly made
I think its time
For me to go
You lied
It wont be alright
I woudlve screamed
I was so close
But then i just let go
Ohh ohh ohh
Its hard to say
This all
Makes my feelings
Go astray
I swear its all
Burning me away
A fuse
To a bomb
So carefuly made
You were a friend of mine
I had no motive
So why call it a crime
Oh come on
You were a friend of mine
I did all i could
And stood in the shadow
While you shined
So come on
Oh come on
Ohh ohh ohh
Its hard to say
This all
Makes my feelings
Go astray
I swear its all
Burning me away
A fuse
To a bomb
So carefuly made
Its hard to face the world
Its hard to say
This all
Makes my feelings
Go astray
I swear its all
Burning me away
A fuse
To a bomb
So carefuly made
Its hard to say
Let me go away
Im tired of having
To face your warped
Worlds
Your warped
Logics
Your insane
Your burning me away
Let me go
Away
My mistake
Make the mistake
Come on you only human
Leave some room for error
While your young
Youths slip by so carelessly
To their
Young problems
So aimlessly
Make your mistakes
While you can afford it
But ill help you out
Of this one
After all we both know
I owe ya one
Theres no where else to run
Family of 15 and they just had
One more son
But ive never seen
Such working hard people
Live so
Carelessly
They live so poor in monatary
So rich in love
A feeling long gone from me
Make your mistakes
While you can afford it
But ill help you out
Of this one
After all we both know
I owe ya one
Im a bit harsh
But im no soldier
Ive got soul
But im no hard worker
Just your everday
Person wandering by
So aimlessly
And theyll all
Make the same mistakes
That i did
The same mistakes
That i did
Never mind what ive done
Never mind what ive done
Never trust your heart
If you cant hold on
For long
Make your mistakes
While you can afford it
But ill help you out
Of this one
After all we both know
I owe ya one
No motive no crime
You couldnt scream
Not while i held you so close
You cloud hear my hreat beat
As i devulged my very
Heart and soul
And when i said i love you
You just let go
I just cant take this
I have nowhere to go
You were the last person
I had to turn to
But then you let go
So what would you have wanted to know
Oh come on
What was it you really had to know
Oh come on
Oh come on
There is no motive
There is no crime
Dont worry about me
Ill be fine
There is no motive
There is no crime
Oh come on
Oh come on
Ohh ohh no
You came back
And i whispered in your ear
I know what your doing here
I know you too well
Old nemesis of mine
There is no motive
There is no crime
I know you too well
Old nemesis of mine
So come on
Oh come on
Ohh ohh oh oh
The dark spire
Spire Spire
Up you turn
Your edges twisted
Torches set afire
Skulls left to burn
The staircase
Encasing around and around
Many go up
No one ever comes down
And its that fear
That has struck
Into the towns that surround
Your pikes and edges
Wind blowing against them
The undead sound
Their horns in answer
To the smell of decay
That the dark spire bares
When merchants pass it
They ask who cares
But the lives lost
On its grounds below
Have a million and one
Souls all with a story
To show
The millionth and first soul
Belongs to me
I hung myself from the tower
For all to see
To show that many a man
Has fallen before it
And not you nor I
Shall be the last
To fall in its long shadow acast
The Dark Spire
It binds me still to this world
With its smell
Its edges
Flaming skulls
And pikes
Not for anyone
Of the living likes
So i sit here all alone
Waiting for the rope to decay
And drop my bones
Life in Hollywood
Its hollywood baby
They say im never going down
All theose one hit wonders
Smug faces
And smirks
They dont even know how it works
They build you up and then they
Burn you down
Trust me youll never make it
Its tincil town
Its hollywood
And baby your going down
You get drunk
And act like you dont care
Its hollywood
And baby your down
Its hollywood
And baby your down
Your in the club
Acting like you know how to dance
I gurentee your going down
But they dont care
Oh boy your going down
Trust me youll never make it
Its tincil town
Its holly wood and your goin down
Its hollywood
And baby your going down
You get drunk
And act like you dont care
Its hollywood
And baby your down
Its hollywood
And baby your down
You cant stop
This motion its been this way
For years
You waste your life in hollywood
Your fifteen minutes are up
Give it up its hollywood
Its hollywood
And baby your going down
You get drunk
And act like you dont care
Its hollywood
And baby your down
Its hollywood
And baby your down
AlmostWhatIWant
When i pretend
I can be what ever i want to be
Always what i wanted to be
Never what you wanted to see
Never the one who was gonna fit in
But i think for now
Ill just pretend
Cuz
You know you can only use
What you want to use
When your in my real head
Let go
Im gonna push back now
Until you let me go
Im taking back life
Ill never be alone
With these voices
In my head
Guess it was always
Just me
Almost what I wanted
Never what you saw in me
I couldnt see it
Though you swore it was in me
You needed it to be there
So you could have your iron control over me
But maybe now ill just wait and bleed
Maybe you should just go
Let go
Im gonna push back now
Until you let me go
Im taking back life
Ill never be alone
With these voices
In my head
Guess it was always
Just me
Push me away
Let me get my distance
I think now is when
I need my space
When i can look at you
And experiance
Such distaste
So
Let go
Im gonna push back now
Until you let me go
Im taking back life
Ill never be alone
With these voices
In my head
Guess it was always
Just me
Forget the memories
It never happend
Forget the love
It never existed
Forget your life
Becuase it was always mine
To give to you
Im sorry? No.
Am i sorry no
Im sorry
No
[Verse 1]
I wish you couldve known that
I wouldve fought back
Id rather of fell back
And hit the floor
Rather then feel that
And have it brought back every
Time i look at you
I warned you and ill only do it once more
Your apologies are deadly
[chorus]
I woke up today
Its all the same
Am i sorry no
Sorry
No
Ive been used
And abused
But now
Im just confused
Am i sorry no
Sorry
No
[Verse 2]
You shouldve known
I feel too
And although i met you
It doesnt mean i know you
And just because you know me
Doesnt mean you could be me
So just leave me
With my head down
[Chorus]
I woke up today
Its all the same
Am i sorry no
Sorry
No
Ive been used
And abused
But now
Im just confused
Am i sorry no
Sorry
No
[Bridge]
You can ask
How i feel
And if
I really drowned
In this shame
But i wont say a word
No
Ill just leave with my head down....
[Chorus]
I woke up today
Its all the same
Am i sorry no
Sorry
No
Ive been used
And abused
But now
Im just confused
Am i sorry no
Sorry
No
No im not sorry, No....
Shot Down
I saw you falling
I shouldve ran and caught you
Maybe this is payback
Maybe this is
Just a little more then i can take
Touch me and i might brake
I saw you going down down
Spinin around
Not knowing what to say
I wouldve been there to catch you
But then i realised i might regret you
I saw you going down down
Spinin around
And baby it was hectic
I shouldve been there to catch you
But god forbid i regret you
Seems like yesterday
We were all sure where to go
Maybe i dont know
God im just unsure
Let it go go
As i let you go
Spin to the ground
Maybe the darkness
Will take you away
I saw you going down down
Spinin around
Not knowing what to say
I wouldve been there to catch you
But then i realised i might regret you
I saw you going down down
Spinin around
And baby it was hectic
I shouldve been there to catch you
But god forbid i regret you
Maybe i can get you
Maybe you still havent hit the ground
And maybe im the one spinin
Or maybe im just a bullet
Send to you
Now take the trigger and pull it
Youll go down
While your spinin around
And maybe i cant stand it
Maybe im just a bullet
Sent to you
Now take the trigger and pull it
Down down
Shot down
Down down
Shot down
Now take the trigger and pull it
[B]And The Poets Looking Glass...[/B] (second book)
To kill the queen
Our time together
Was not a relation ship
But a doom
Contract bound by that perfume
That radiated when you entered the room
Yet my expression was pure gloom
The bangle braclets as your
Thousand trumpets
To signal all attention
And watch as the noise grew
So when you entered the room
You felt better
Because all eyes were on you
Your boots black
Bound by leather so smooth
Your face white
As the paper i used
To signal my distress
To those far away
Although you presumed
I was happy just watching you
The eye shadow
Blacker then my shadow
At high noon
The nets on your arms
Entwined and never
Flawed by a hole
That might presume
To release to the world
A true sight of you
So i ask
Please dont presume
That perfume
Those boots
The makeup
Would make you
Any less of the emotional
Murderer that we all knew
You killed us inside
And it just showed through
I swore on my own grave
As looked it over to presume
That id be the one
To kill you
Down in the street
Down in the street
Feels like its gonna enclose
Trying to re push open
This envelop
Feeling nothing
While trying to come back up from the dead
The unknown voices in the back of my head
Feels so hard but
Just as lightly i tread
Though you took the wrong way what i meant
Nothing worse then all the time when i try to come up
Back from the dead
Dwown in the streets
That voice still in the back of my head
Although i feel betrayed
The sun still went down
Although the writing in stone
Has been made
It all fell down
From that voice in the back of my head
Im just so paranoid
Paranoid
So void
Void
I feel so betrayed
It all fell down
I feel so betrayed
It all goes down
The infernos been made
It all fell
Down
Down
Down
Down
I feel the lights been
Drained
The suns gone down
Down in the streets
the lights all been drained
Though because of your betrayel
I finally have the right
To feel this ashamed
The salvation and the cure: Truth’s Martyrs
Cure:
Ive got no honesty
Got nothin left to say
Its already unfolded
So just let it be
This way
Forget about
The things you took
The emotional peril
That shook
You all the way
To the bone
Trust youll be ok
One way or another
You werent coming home
In the first place
But i guess its not worth
Asking why
Wasnt i reason enough?
Salvation:
Come now
I think were a little old for that
The unexplained
Um hmm um hmms
Pretending nothing needs to be said
Come now
Come now
I thought we were over that
Cure:
Salvation salvation
My friend and partner
You have been
But dont try to put a new spin
On a subject older
Then both you and I
We dont need to talk anymore
We both know
The reason was I
Salvation:
Cure
You self absorbed biznatch
I knew you would pull something like this
A scape goat of your own
Made for yourself
Stop multiplying the guilt
Just accept yourself
The reason was not you or I
There was no spin
And who keeps track of time?
Young old its all the same
Maybe only I know your true name
Cure:
Salvation
You know me too well
After all
We shared eternity together
In hell
But let it be
Because im alright
I accepted guilt
But i thought you might
Try to make this all about you
So shutup you old shrew
There is no multiplying
I accept
To the terms of our agreement
One hundred percent
Truth:
There was no agreement
No fight no blame
No guilt no honesty
For i am the one to blame
I am truth
What makes you cringe
I make you who you are
Gentleman or biznatch
Your name was truth
They called you devine
A god in your own right
The fear to all
Mortal and not
Each and every night
To sacre the children
Before they go to rest
Only to again wake
Your name a sound
So feared
The earth itself
Might quake
Your power undisputed
By all below you
By by your side
Did not exist
There was only
Below
Your name was truth
Grabbing the world
By its root
And cast aside
The lies
Behind which
We all hide
The money
That we all mise
To someday hope
To sit back
And before we die
Watch the world struggle
Through its lies
Just as we did
Time after time
Father and son
Father father put down the belt
Father father you always smelt
Of the beer and cigaretts
That you said made you better
You told me son
Youll never get any better
Youll be the worst of them all
Dont even try i know youll fall
Son son your hatred burns
Son son im sorry for the cigarett burns
And bottles i threw
But luckily missed
I set you up to fail
But now look at this
Son son you now sway from a rope
Son son you made me lose even more hope
For humanity
And its ability to over come
But i always asked why
You chose to hang yourself
From the tree
Where the tree house
Used to be
And yet i asked why
Father father i look down on you now
Father father are you that dence?
I hung myself
From that tree
For my reason to be forthright
Hence i must explain it now
It was the tree
Of the tree house
Made by you and me
The only thing we did together
Father father you and me
The controlling father
Just a dream?
I dont think so old friend
too many days long past
too many times you fell
too many times i wanted to ask
But even more times you perjected a no
You didnt like the idea
from the start that was
the black of hte boots
the cut of the wrists
the pentagrams on her neck
white faced
eyes blacked
a style all her own
a beauty in her own right
But you couldnt let her be
now could you?
A controling father
You didnt want to face it
a title you earned
but a cake so bitter
you never wanted to taste it
you went to the doctor
to see what he could give you
thats when you went too far
Or did you?
The fake fangs she wanted for christmas
for when she would go out with her friends
To places unknown
and comeback when who knows when
but you couldnt take it
Now could you?
Im sure if you gave it a chance
youd understand pretty well
individuality is not some phase or spell
Its what lives inside us all
The things the make us stand when others fall
What seperates you from me
Is i realise this is reality
So i dont think so
not just a dream my friend
Never just a dream
For her sake
let it never
Be just a dream....
Fallen
All i want to know
Is why it fell down
The floor covered
In your self glory crowns
Seems like your done backing down
Maybe now
It wont fall down
This house is not a home
But a tomb
Seems like a stand still
Scince you left your room
Out the window
Trying to avoid the mood
Of overwhelming sorrow
Maybe thatll change your tune
You were so accustomed
To a darkening mood
The cuts on wrists
The Black of your boots
If it all falls down soon
Why not just
Go into the closet
And hope to catch a fadeing sent
Of that haunting perfume
Your bracelets clanked
Signaling your approach
Into the room
That damned sent still
Clutching
Spelling my doom
I hope youll turn around soon
And notice
Ive been
Running after you
Way back when
You buried me
Though i expected
You cared for me
Though i didnt know
The tears you shed for me
And i didnt know
You wouldve
Bled for me
That’s what I’d call it
Poisin lips
and a
Deadly Kiss
Now thats what id call
Love
A dagger
Full of blood
A life
So pain stained
Now thats what id call
Hardship
You and me
Our lives
The problems
And good things too
Now thats what id call
A relationship
The world
And its problems
The People
And their troubles
Now thats what id call
Sorrow
Your love
My Pain
Your sweet smile
My bitter attitude
So stained
Now thats what id call
Opposites attract
The justification
Of one
The judgement
Made by many
Now thats what id call
Bull shiz's justice
Your opinion of me
My opinion of you
The worlds opinion of Us
I dont know what to call that....
What miracles are made of
Dreams
Love
And a whole lot
Of pain
This is what miracles are made of
Lust
Want
And Need
This is what infactuation is made of
Self
Other
And desendant
This is what family is made of
Wild emotions
Insane actions
And Truth
This is what love is made of
Love
Life
Hapiness
Pain
Sorrow
Decit
Truth
Greed
Humanity
Atrocities
Wonders
Curiosity
This is what miracles are made of
Your lucky death could save you from me
You didnt belive me
When i said
Your lucky death
Could save you from me
This time
You laughed
Oh my friend
Whos laughing now
I have a grin
That must seem
So bitter sweet to you
But its all
I have
I was ready to kill you
But you werent mine to
Take away
From this world
Oh but my friend
Whos friends now?
And whos dead now?
You only live once
And that would be
Killing you now
If it could
But we both know better
Now dont we?
You didnt belive me
When i said
Your lucky death
Could save you from me
This time
You laughed
Oh my friend
Whos laughing now
I have a grin
That must seem
So bitter sweet to you
But its all
I have
Its all i have
To remember you by
Now...
Upsetting my happily ever after
Why not?
Do it again
You know you want to
Just give in
Dont worry about me
Im okay
Your the one
Who cuts her wrists
While looking at the mirror
With distaste
I loved the feel
Of your cold embrace
Comon do it again
Itll reset the pace
Do it again
And then get away from my face
Do it again
Make me feel again
Brake me again
Just let it happen again
Just like old times
Riding in to the sunset
But you have to upset
My hapily ever after
The childs laughter
My mother?
We'll blast her
But dont upset
My hapily ever after
Those black leather boots
Those meatal ring bracelets
That black eye liner
That white make up
A look
So easily labeled
Yet so hardly
Under stood
I bet youd take it back
If you could
So come on do it again
The fiendish ring
Of your scream
To echo the halls
To strike fear
Into the preps at the mall
To fill them all
With the fear
Not so small
So do it again
Just do it again
Dont hold back but dont
Upset
My
Hapliy
Ever
Just like old times
Riding in to the sunset
But you have to upset
My hapily ever after
The childs laughter
My mother?
We'll blast her
But dont upset
My hapily ever after
After.....
For what you did to me
From what you did to me
I swear ill do worse to you
You your gonna regret this
For the rest of your lifetime
I rmember when we met
You told me that if i worked harder
Then everyone else
Id get better and outshine
Even my greatest enimies
But the damage
You inflicted
To my pride
I swear
These wounds
Wont seem to heal
And i swore id take back
What you stole
You buried me
After you carried me
You put your knife in me
In the back that is
I let it happen
But not this time
My pride
Bled out of me
Along time ago
And now its you and me
And all the revenge
I can carry
That hole you put me in
Wasnt deep enough
That youll regret
But for now
I dare you to try
And hide from me
Although ill make you go
I will remember you
Living through that pain
Was the hardest part
But to the end
Ill remember you
I'm not going to lie. I didn't read all the poems but of the ones I did read, my favorite was the first one. I dont know why I think it has nice rythm. The only problem i see with it is
"I check you wrists
Just to make sure its really you
I check the boots"
I think thats supposed to say "your".
You should post your poetry on www.deviantart.com . If you do p/m me your account name/account hompage.
I didnt read them all eather there is way to many but I know wut u mean about the 1st one I like it too. Those are some nice poems you got
