Valentine's Day love poem
In the moonlight shining down
Watching you look around
I quickly blurt out those dreaded words
“Will you be my valentine?”
Shyly as I look down
Not wanting to see you face
As I stare at the ground with a frown
Wondering if you’d be mine, Christopher Mace.
I feel you walking towards me
As I wait for the final blow
Wondering what will come to be,
If you’ll let your affection show.
“When will you learn to see,
Miss Erica Leigh?”
“That you are the one for me?
The one I need.”
Watching you look around

I feel you walking towards me
As I wait for the final blow
Wondering what will come to be,
If you’ll let your affection show.
“When will you learn to see,

Come, Part Two
Come, let us rejoice
And perhaps you will feel remorse
For the sin they have caused
For the pain you have endured.
Come, let us feast
Sitting next to these vile beasts
Who sit and chatter without a care
As if there is no pain for them to bear.
Come, let us not dawdle
For we have much to accomplish
For before this night is through
We will be part of something new.
Come; let us go to the grave
Our friend underneath is who we intend to save
Bring him up out of the ground
And remove that disgusting shroud.
Come,...
And perhaps you will feel remorse
For the sin they have caused
For the pain you have endured.
Come, let us feast
Sitting next to these vile beasts
Who sit and chatter without a care
As if there is no pain for them to bear.
Come, let us not dawdle
For we have much to accomplish
For before this night is through
We will be part of something new.
Come; let us go to the grave
Our friend underneath is who we intend to save
Bring him up out of the ground
And remove that disgusting shroud.

Come
Come, let’s lock the door
And let the ritual begin.
And even though I know it is a sin
it only makes me want it more.
So come, join in,
Even though this is a sin.
Let it be your last
And I hope you have a blast.
To begin this ritual let us get some things right.
To complete this will mean the end tonight.
After it you will see,
Just how ruthless we can be.
Come, don’t distress,
After this you may rest.
Nobody can harm you
For harm has already been done.
But come, it might just be fun.
So stay indoors, out...
And let the ritual begin.
And even though I know it is a sin
it only makes me want it more.
So come, join in,
Even though this is a sin.
Let it be your last
And I hope you have a blast.
To begin this ritual let us get some things right.
To complete this will mean the end tonight.
After it you will see,
Just how ruthless we can be.
Come, don’t distress,
After this you may rest.
Nobody can harm you
For harm has already been done.
But come, it might just be fun.
So stay indoors, out...

Don't even
Don't even try to tell me
that everything is my fault.
Don't push all the blame on me
When i don't deserve it.
When i do nothing wrong
you make something up.
When i make a mistake
you blow it out of proportion.
Like you haven't made plenty of mistakes
That i don't point out.
Don't even try to act all innocent
when you know you did something wrong.
I've done nothing wrong to deserve being treated the way you treat me.
You're pushing your luck...
But it's not like i'll do anything
I don't even care...
that everything is my fault.
Don't push all the blame on me
When i don't deserve it.
When i do nothing wrong
you make something up.
When i make a mistake
you blow it out of proportion.
Like you haven't made plenty of mistakes
That i don't point out.
Don't even try to act all innocent
when you know you did something wrong.
I've done nothing wrong to deserve being treated the way you treat me.
You're pushing your luck...
But it's not like i'll do anything
I don't even care...

together again
We're together again.
for the foreseeable future
Happy as could be..
At least you are.
Your entire family is so
Glad we're back together
Glad you're happy
Because apparently I brought you
Out of a depression
while I'm slowly falling into one.
but what does my happiness mean?
cant mean much if I can fake it.
Make everyone think everything is fine
And perfect.
so while you are smiling,
I'm dying on the inside
Yet nobody will ever know it..

hurt
I hurt you..
I know I did and I'm sorry
But you hurt me to
you keep texting me..
Reminding me of all the mistakes I made
I'm drowning in a sea of my own tears
in my misery..
everyone wont leave me alone
Someone in your family keeps telling me I'm hurting you
But I know I am
I don't need the reminders
I want to stop this
But I know I'll never hear the end of it.
I know I did and I'm sorry

work for it.
Work for love
don't just let it go.
You have to fight for it
Not lie down in defeat.
if its worth it
you will fight.
Through the ugliest fights
The dryest tears.
The most true love
Is the kind that goes through the worst fights
And they get hurt so much..
But they don't let go.
They work for each other
Because what they want in this world
is each other.
To stay together.
so instead of quitting and throwing it away
They work for it
And the greatest kind of love is their reward.
the best kind of love has to be worked...
don't just let it go.
You have to fight for it
Not lie down in defeat.
if its worth it
you will fight.
Through the ugliest fights

living for?
When you're laying in bed
at night
In the dark.
all alone.
You start to think.
what am I living for?
thinking thinking
Over thinking.
Some people
in the daytime
seem like it.
but in the cold ruthless night
The truth comes out.
The person- that one special person-
Suddenly is'nt so special..
You see the hurt up close and personnel
The hurt they've done to you
And the hurt you've done to them..
Accusing you of everything
Though you've done nothing wrong..
Not trusting you ever..
And you're sitting their tears...
at night
In the dark.

worth it?
Have you ever had the feeling
That trying has suddenly become to
Hard?
that nothing motivates you
To even want to get out of
Bed in the morning?
that you figured life would become
Easier..
To end it
With a slice of a blade
The bang of a gun
Or swallowing just enough pills
To succumb to the darkness
Of a deep sleep
to last forever.
A note? For a last goodbye?
Or nothing but memories
Of people who knew you?
A reason of explanation
or the mystery to lie
forever unknown?
That trying has suddenly become to
Hard?
that nothing motivates you
To even want to get out of
Bed in the morning?

Easier..

With a slice of a blade

Or swallowing just enough pills
To succumb to the darkness
Of a deep sleep
to last forever.

screw life..
Have you ever wanted to
Cry yourself
To sleep?
Drown yourself
In your own tears
Your demise
Never being good
Enough
Never being strong
Enough
Never being anything
anyone wants
or needs.
You don't feel
loved.
feels like nobody cares.
Why?
because nobody probably does.
Personal problems?
Keep 'em to yourself.
Whine to people?
Think they care?
Cause in life you are dead
Lucky to find one person
Who gives a shit and
Means it and doesn't
hurt you.
Cry yourself
To sleep?
Drown yourself
In your own tears
Your demise
Never being good

listen..
Alright.
I do not need to here lip
From you.
Do not
Get a freaking attitude with me
I will get one right back
And get away from
You because there is
More shit coming out
Of your mouth than your ass.
Don't give me your assumptions
do not talk bad about the people
I care for.
If you're going to get a big head
don't do it in front of me
Cause one: I don't care
And two: I do not need to stand around
and listen to your annoying voice
Insulting me and thinking
you know every freaking detail about me.
So shut your mouth...
I do not need to here lip
From you.
Do not
Get a freaking attitude with me
I will get one right back
And get away from
You because there is
More shit coming out
Of your mouth than your ass.
Don't give me your assumptions
do not talk bad about the people
I care for.
If you're going to get a big head
don't do it in front of me
Cause one: I don't care
And two: I do not need to stand around
and listen to your annoying voice
Insulting me and thinking
you know every freaking detail about me.
So shut your mouth...

Le Power
I have the power to crush you
in seconds.
Yet i haven't.
I have the power to destroy
your heart if i wanted.
But i don't.
I got your heart
b.r.o.k.e.n.
Crumbled to

s.
I have the power to hurt you
in almost all ways possible.
Yet i do not. Because i also
have the power to fix it.
Make it brand new.
Fix it when you never thought
it could be.
I can put the
pieces
back together.
I have both the power to help or hurt you
but i choose to help
you. Over all i am nothing...
in seconds.
Yet i haven't.
I have the power to destroy
your heart if i wanted.
