I dream my dreams in colours bright,
The joys of friends give sheer delight.
We dance and romp, and games we play,
Oh how they make my heart so gay.
But even if my love I woo,
It always ends, as all dreams do,
With darkness fast, they leave no clue,
In morning light, to prove it true.
The day begins as light creeps in
My little empty room.
Block the rays and turn my back,
Awakened much too soon.
For chance to sleep a little more,
Close the curtain and the door,
And maybe then, some peace of mind,
Within my pillow, I will find.
Comforts few, I soon arise,
In the light, I strain my eyes,
To see the same surprise,
Nothing. As
The birds that usually sing 'bout now,
Their songs have all gone quiet.
With a path to their Winter home,
They've taken wing to fly it.
The strings of lights now decorate,
The forward roof and wall.
Little things, to commemorate,
Some forgotten stall.
Pretty cards with pretty words,
Spoken long ago.
With images of happy things,
With images of snow.
Candy, pie, and danishes,
Made to warm the soul,
Now double-priced and ready-bagged,
And made for on the go.
'Merry Christmas' on the lips of everyone you meet,
Mere courtesy, just niceties, like 'How has been your week?"
Outside the stores they have a pot, and ring a little bell,
I loved the way you lied to me,
I loved the pain you caused,
You kept my heart all locked away,
I loved it when you set me free.
I loved when you said goodbye,
When you told me "don't say hi."
The day you left me alone,
And I was free to suffer, on my own.
I loved when you said we were friends no more,
That didn't burn me to my very core.
It made me smile, and laugh with joy,
As you treated my heart like a toy.
I loved the way you used to smile,
I loved the times we spent in that short while,
I loved you. I really did love you.
And yet you let me go.
Said I needed to grow.
And I outgrew you.
But I still love you.
And that's
Dancing in the darkness on a cold and foggy night,
Romancing with my demons on a night with little light.
Prancing with a happy face, proper and polite,
I wish they all could see me now, such a silly sight.
But tell me please, speak honesties, what you think of me.
Do you fear me when you're near me - does your blood just freeze?
It's my aim to please.
I'm now rid of all my fleas.
I'll even let you see.
Come close to me, oh please.
I want to hear you breathe.
And maybe you're the lucky one who's heart I will not cleave.
Maybe not - are you scared?
Don't look at how the others fared.
Torn to ribbons since they fled,
I gave them
Torn to pieces, what's inside?
Look in closely, I'll confide...
Darkness fills me, hate within,
Cruel desire to slay my kin.
Give me love, will kill if not,
Leave you die, leave you rot.
Give me what I want today,
You'll be free just while I say.
I would purr if I could,
It would do you: no good.
Only more is what I ask,
And fulfill you shall, this task.
You, my pet, you are mine,
I've gone so far to stay your mind,
Walk so blind, I will lead,
Ask me not, to be freed.
This, my need, you will fill,
If you don't, I will kill.
You my pill, swallowed whole,
You don't matter, 'till I'm full,
Then you, close, will I pull,
smile
Puppet strung by strings,
Not what you'd call free.
I smile, wave to you,
You'd never guess that's me.
I dance when I am pulled to,
I am what I should be.
I pull against the strings.
Oh, how I long to be free.
Days go by when I just cry.
For sweet release, how I try.
I cannot fly, but I can die.
Please... just let me die.
To cut the strings that bind me so,
I wish it were that easy.
If only I could let you know,
It's but a smile that frees me.
I was there when they left you.
With my comfort and my care,
freely could you cry;
wish they'd die.
I was there but to help.
I was there when you found another,
they should have been more true.
I saw your heart break;
your fist shake,
you told me you felt alone.
I was with you when your tears came;
by your side when you felt shame.
I put my heart out on the line,
every day, this choice is mine.
I am by your side when trouble's near.
Please worry not, for I am here.
As you wish, I'll do for you.
Like I said, I'm ever true.
Forever, in the days to come,
I choose, simply, to love you.
I'll never say how it hurt me,
every tim
Long ago, I layed these bones to rest.
Now I feel it again, as if behest
by unseen force,
supposed to have run it's course.
My eyes now sting with tears,
this had been gone, for years.
Stir my soul, move the limbs I thought I'd lost.
Cry for fear, tears of joy, this was once my cost.
The purest feel, I knew I'd found,
revelry, shook me to the ground.
Then these bones, old and dry,
They moved me so - I even cry!
Beside my soul, I found this flow.
Up 'till now, I didn't know,
this piece of puzzle was lost away,
thrown aside with the rest of my decay.
None I missed, my longing subdued,
remove all that even dare allude,
the way
I just want to cry into your arms tonight
Nothing else at all, just hold me tight.
I want to cry
I'm scared I'll die
Alone
I feel lost and afraid
Smaller, like I'll fade
Away
To be elsewhere
With one who does care.
I could feel cheer
If they would come here.
I will be the bestest of friend,
Loving, loyal, kind to the end,
But no one wants me, I'm not 'just right,'
I'm a push-over, so I put up no fight.
I miss you even though you stand here
Because I cannot feel that we are near.
Silly as it seems, I just want to hear
That one thing for which I never may ask.
I cannot live grey
Only black of the night
Or the light of the day
Two extremes-
The only means
I'll live by
Either that or I lie
Seeking my purpose
Or losing my feeling
Striking for vengence
And having my justice
Or searching for honor
And having my healing
I cannot live grey
Nor the light of the day
Will cause me to sway
To night to stay
My light, taken away.
I cannot live grey.
Where are you now?
I pray to be with you,
Though I cannot see how.
Wish the same too!
Cast me aside?
I say I can't abide.
I lied.
Follow through - Remember.
You promised me that you would.
Or is my mind playing tricks?
Smouldered to an ember.
My fire for you lacks wood.
Do you mess with me for kicks?
Silent treatment?
Your message has been sent,
Get bent.
Where are you now?
I pray to be with you,
Though I cannot see how.
Wish the same too!
Please?
Does it delight when causing pain?
Is its smile filled with vain?
It's just another soul,
Despite its being black as coal.
Is its joy in taking life?
Does it revel in causing strife?
Despite its being black as coal,
It's just another soul.
Shadows fill its heart with cheer,
But I stand up and do not fear.
"Vile creature of the night,
Get thee out of my sight!"
Defiance swells on either side,
Now's my move, I will not hide.
Strike for vengeance, make it pay,
Crush its evil with light of day.
"Suffer now ye filthy thing,
While my vengeance I doth bring.
Know the fury of this light,
I will always fight for right."
It's my joy
I can't make all your hurts go away.
I can't give all I want to give.
I can't say what I want to say.
I can't live how I want to live.
I can't cure all disease
nor save all rain-forest trees.
I can't end crime and rampant hate,
but I won't leave it all to fate.
I can be your friend,
that love won't end.
I can share your load,
whatever life may bode.
Vexed though I may be,
I feel more than free.
To have no limits by choosing hate,
To rip my life from the hands of fate.
I can take a shot that was meant for you,
I can assure you I would do it too.
I can stand for what is right,
and I can endure this fight.
I can't do all I wa
Tiny smile, full of cheer,
I know different when I hold you near.
You've cried your share
if not more than fair.
Eyes of innocence
you've had ever since.
A sweet, silly face;
a dance to your pace.
I can't help but smile
at your light wit and wile.
You touched my heart
and I've seen your soul.
It's almost an art,
yet we play no role.
So hard to say
why you are this way.
You have known my pain,
eyes darkened by profane.
But you've cried your share,
if not more than fair.
Eyes of innocence
you've had ever since.
Why have you left me?
For only a moment
you've been gone
I love you,
why can't you stay?
Please, it hurts!
I don't wanna cry.
I want your voice
to tell me of you.
I wish you'd listen
to the words I never say.
If I have no meaning
why do I feel you so close?
You've touched my heart,
and I don't even know why!
Just stupid little me,
I shouldn't go so deep,
but I do! I hurt.
Not your fault,
it's mine, all mine,
my choice, my love, my pain.
Maybe I'm just impatient.
Won't you love me too?
'Till then, I'll just wait.
No, I won't regret it,
I've done the right thing,
Haven't I?
[rant]
I am really sick of people who don't know what love really means. Those idiots who assume everything has something to do with sex.
Love is a deep, unconditional commitment to the well being and happiness of the ones you love. NOT the desire to 'score' with them. That's lust.
You can truly love those of the other gender, and same gender and have no romantic relationship with either.
Love is more than just friendship, as friendship does not imply unconditional commitment.
Yes, one may have friends they are committed to, no matter what. Those who they care deeply for, and will never abandon. Know what? That's love.
I love many of my

Special thanks to !Ryokox (https://www.deviantart.com/ryokox) for this one.
Thanks. Hopefully it's the good sort of amazing and not the 'Oh my god, how could someone write this bad' amazing.
Either way it makes me smile, really.
