    just a dreamer stuck in a nightmare



    Poetry

    you still haunt my heart

    I dreamt of you last night
    the bitterness of seeing you again stung
    like sault to an opened wound
    I was exposed
    my truest colors being one with the wind
    your truest smile still fresh in my memory

    In this nightmare
    you still loved me
    as I loved you
    it scared me
    the feeling of having my best friend back

    In the beginning
    I thought it was real
    then realization kicked in
    It was merely relived memories
    I still miss you sometimes

    When I awoken
    tears still fresh from emotion
    laid upon my face
    the melancholy taste still stung my heart
    I wanna forget about you again
    it hurts to remember
    how much you mean to me

    I cant help but wonder
    if the ghost of our happiness
    haunts you too

    love heartbreak dailylog log#5 tears depression sadness melancholy ghost memories past haunts wonder lov...

    Cant breath

    cant breath
    its happening again
    the ocean goes hightide
    my body refuses to move
    I sink into oblivion
    my tears become
    one with the ocean cries

    cant breath
    the stars take me into the night
    lost in the darkness
    frozen in space
    my tears refuse to leave my eyes
    they freeze in the night

    unwanted memories rush in

    this feeling is suffocating

    When the sun goes down

    It was clear
    but my vision was blurred 
    it right in front of me
    but to blind to see 
    was my eyes in the night 
    when the sun goes down

    the moon was my light
    but the moon wasn't in sight 
    not that night 

    everyone knows the truth 
    monsters only come to play
    when the sun goes down 
     
    tears fall 
    hearts break
    smiles fade 
    people change 
    when the sun goes down

    Time

    if only I could hold you close
    If only you would stay
    If only time would obey

    we fell in love
    we where one
    time brought us together...
    and tour us apart
    I just wish I had more time with you...

    Beautiful

    A single rose in a forest of lilies and daffodils
    a single beauty in a world of ugly
    afraid to show the world its beauty
    looking for love in a world full of hate
    closing doors in the way of fate
    running away from pain
    wearing reveling clothing so others love her
    a single rose growing with the lilies and daffodils
    hidden from the truth
    that she is beautiful

    stare

    something so filled with love and light
    terns into the night
    dark and hallow
    you just stare at the stars waiting for one to shoot you a wish
    you stare blankly at me no emotion
    emptiness covers your eyes and mouth keeping you
    unable to breath, unable to see, unable to speak
    the saddest truth is you let it take control
    you lost the battle because to you, there never was one
    there was never a fight because you gave up in the vary beginning
    and now you stare blankly into the night hoping one day a star will shoot you a wish
    no star will come, no day will shine, no moon will glow for someone who couldn't even fight for it and now you sit blankly and stare hoping they will fight for you....

    Unwanted list

    I don't want to be trapped any longer
    will I ever be freed from this cage?
    will I fly with the heavenly skies?
    or will I fall into the dark abyss that waits for me below?
    emotions as still as cloud now turn into blades
    cutting my wings making me plummet down
    to the unwanted list of abandoned children
    unable to be better
    unable to breath
    unable to see or hear
    unable to fly once more
    will another come to save us or will the blades cut their wings
    the angeles are afraid to fall
    and so they leave us, the children of abandonment to be stuck
    on the unwanted list.

    Truth

    now I lay my head to sleep
    and try to count the sheep
    but in my mind I scream and fight
    battles and wars keep me occupied
    the truth hurts but at least its not a lie
    you keep me from being free when you lie to me
    you add another chain to the ground and keep me from spreading my wings
    you cut my hope into pieces and let it die
    you bruise my body and watch me cry
    you leave me to die with every lie
    why not free me from this world of lies with the truth
    why chain me to this prison of dying hope and dying dreams
    preventing me from souring free.

    sadness follows

    me to the happiest of places and steals my smile
    she comes on birthdays and holidays
    she comes on regular days
    I say i'm alone but sadness is there
    she's the only thing that hasn't left
    she's stubborn
    and strong
    loneliness is sadness brother and stays the nights and days
    he's there when i'm in a crowd full of others
    he's there at parties
    and at family gatherings
    he's there even during the happiest of times
    depression is their mother and leads her ducklings to my heart
    where they rest and live there days and nights
    sadness follows, and her family joins.

    Seasons

    she's as beautiful as day and as mysterious as night
    her feelings change as does her leaves during fall
    the changing colors and emotions
    a great oak tree now feeling cold by winters embrace with no colorful leaves but instead branches that show her majestic story of pain, sorrow, and love
    she's a worrier, a soldier in this battle of life
    and then when the war of society and sin is over in spring she dances and rejoices with the winds and rain and sings the song of new begging that yet to come
    then finally she joins the sun and the clouds
    sharing her life with others during the days of summer
    she's a home for creatures big and small
    shes a shield of protection
    a mother caring for her child
    a bride preparing for her wedding day
    a slave enjoying freedom at last.

    I remember

    your smile
    your laugh
    your hugs
    your voice
    I remember
    our jokes
    our time
    our moments
    and I miss them so much
    I miss you

    Thank you

    For not filling my soul with your lies
    For finding the key and unlocking some of the chains that bind me
    For sharing your warmth with me in this cold world
    For your joy that shined the path to find my truest smile
    For shielding me from the arrows and blades with you kindness
    For healing some of my bruises with you laugh
    And for showing a bird how to finally fly, even with broken wings.

    Another time

    I wished for happiness once
    I wished for the truth
    for love
    and for freedom
    and I've sang the songs of sadness to the stars
    and yelled the words of anger to the sun
    and shed my tears with the moon
    they kept my secrets, my prayers, my life story
    and they kept my wishes
    they told me I could have them come true
    another time

    Jealousy

    never felt it so strongly till now
    I'm envious of her
    I don't understand why I feel this way
    I don't understand feelings much
    I typically block them out
    is this normal?
    why does it hurt to know that she fell for you?
    I never cared before
    so why now?
    why does it hurt to know I might lose you?
    I never cared before
    why am I so jealous of someone I don't know much about.

    deceiving sun

    It gave false hope and hidden nightmares within its rays
    It gave only lies threw the clouds and left the moon with the sad aftertaste or the truth
    The trees knew the truth yet they smiled back
    The birds still sang their songs even when the sun didn't sing it back
    When did the world prefer a lie?
    When did the moon hold so much sadness even in its most peaceful times?
    When did the sun deceive the dreamer?
    It was when the clouds begged for warmth,
    when they couldn't handle winters truth.

    I never

    I never once made you happy
    not once
    you smile of pity and not pride
    proud is something you'll never feel for me
    I tried, you know
    tried to be what you wanted
    but trying isn't enough is it?
    I never made you proud
    seems to me like I'm a disappointment no matter where I go
    its hard smiling all the time
    hoping you'll give me a real smile back
    its harder pretending everything is fine
    the weight of the world cant compare to the weight of this
    its heavy and cold
    my heart is tired
    shall it rest here for a little?
    I never once wanted or asked to be this way
    I never asked to hurt or to be hurt
    I never asked for pain
    but with love comes pain I suppose
