Hear the Melody in Me

Poems



Slowly Dying

My heart is red,
But inside dead.
My face is glad,
But I'm only sad.
These words I hear,
Are oh so near.
But it's clear.
They're not toward me.
They do not see,
I am not,
Who you
want me to be.
I'm sadly crying,
and slowly dying


Confused

My heart is yearning,

but The world keeps turning.

Will it even miss me?

I know that I was wrong,

and he keeps telling me.

That I'm not worth it,

I'm not the first,

girl he'd want to choose.

My friends are dropping,

my heart is hopping,

out, out to you

I hate this feeling,

but you keep reeling,

me in, for the kill.

You'll drop me so fast,

because u are the best,

at leaving me the bill


The people that aren't there

Why can't you see me, clearly?

You nearly killed me,

Why won't you look into my eyes.

I was slowly healing,

I was, slowly dealing,

with the problems that made me cry!

I know I'm not the best,

why can't I just forget,

your words telling me to die!

Your telling me to die.

So I cry. I cry,

to the people that aren't there.


The good in me

All of my friend left me,

out in the rain,

waiting to laugh at my pain.

They faces, full with glee,

the sing so happily.

Why can't I sing with them?

I feel so out of place,

I wish someone would just

Replace, my ugly face.

My feet are hurting,

from turning and turning.

Trying to face you.

You knew it all along

you knew that it,had

always belonged to me.

But my heart is weakening,

and I'm still seeking,

for anything good,

in me.


Tears

The blood,

inside my,

burning heart,

The place,

inside,

my yearning,

face,

Is it,

deserving?

Deserving, of you?

The words,

you whisper,

in my ear,

Why can't,

You tell me

them, more clear?

I can't,

hear you...

I'm not,

near you.

The time,

you said,

it was,

all fine,

had cost,

me,

a million dimes,

but it doesn't

matter.

My heart is,

shattered.

These tears,

racing down,

my face,

they're clearly,

stating,

that I'm,

A disgrace,

to all of,

mankind.


Words

The noises,

that we say.

The word games,

That we play.

The places,

of today.

The shaken,

yesterday.

The new things,

that we learn,

It's finally,

my turn.

The money,

that we earn.

Is it worth it?

Sounds are noises,

Noises are words.

Everyone,

wants to be heard.

But do,

we really,

care?

Or are words,

just there.


Love

Love is,

something,

we feel.

But how,

Do we know it's

Real?
We all,

have to deal,

with pain,

it brings.

Our hearts,

cannot hold,

as long as,

we want them

to.

I know,

I should,

just go.

But I can't,

No,

I don't.

I wait,

for it,

to break.

Because I know,

I know I can,

Take the pain...


Sorrow

The rain,

hitting me hard.

It's hitting fast,

like race cars.

But,

I don't really,

care.

Rain just has,

to be,

there.

And rain,

brings sorrow,

and sorrow,

brings tomorrow.

Tomorrow,

brings yesterday,

And yesterday,

isn't today.

So smile,

in the darkest.

So grin,

When your parking,

your rusted,

car.

And laugh,

when your not,

satisfied,

and try,

so stop,

all these lies.

And maybe,

you can,

save some,

lives.

Because,

Sorrow brings,

tomorrow....


I try,

and I try,

And I cry,

And I cry,

And I die,

And I die,

And I keep,

dying inside.

And I hide,

and I hide,

From the past,

oh so fast.

And I know,

and I know,

where to go,

where to go,

To get home,

to get home.

Where nothing is right,

But I keep,

Yes I keep,

Trying..


Done

Because I know.

I've always known,

every begging has an end.

I've known it all along.

My time is up,

the bell has just rung.

And I know,

I've just begun.

But I am done....
