Tangled Abstract Fallacy

Wandering through a land
only soar eyes can see
so lost in the memories of what used to be
I cry when I think of the past
knowing it will never feel that way again
Alone and helpless in my mind
I sit here not knowing where to run and hide
Reaching for that ecstasy;
which will only brighten maybe an hour of your life;
but still you pray for it not to end cause your old life will once again begin
Collapsing inside; I have fallen apart
no reason to live, yet i don't want to die
I'm just soo confused and want to cry.
A hurt so extreme
a pain so profound
these are the feelings I feel when anyone and everyone's around.
I feel this intense torment eating away at me inside
it grabs onto my heart; pulls at it and pulls at it
forcing me cry
Without knowing why; It has taken me
It has eaten me alive
The tears, athough a symbol of pain, are so innocent and pure,
Yet they are streaming down my eyes
I feel them glide along my cheek, and past my lips
With every step the tear takes it eats at my heart like you've been bitten by
a leech
They're not just tears of sadness,
tears of crying out for help
Telling God "I am hurting, PLEASE take me from this Hell"
Without realizing it I have involuntary been made to choose to think I should
die
I have done things that would cause me to
but I knew it and knew why
I do not want to die;
yet I'll go
My life is fading away, as the sun beats down on my face,
as the rain pours down from the sky
This is the contradiction of my life,
full of confusion
full of obscure discomfort
along with tangled visions
For I will soon be taken;
I see it coming
Hopefully this will be the end of all my sorrow;
my hidden pain, and
the endless torture that no-one understands;
that seems to remain
Good-bye's are hard yet I've been through the worst:
To say good-bye to your heart and watch it melt with fear
is about the hardest good-bye one could ever feel

I am unhappy
this I very know
SO lonely on the inside
unsure of where to go
Locked in a world where there is no key
inevitably no turning back
No-one to reach;
No-one to understand
How did my life become so obscure?
there's no-one who can help me anymore
So why must people judge me on the images i see?
They are my thoughts
deranged as they may be
When collaborating these thoughts
a dark hold appears
looking down this hole is the only way to keep me sane
For that is my future
my fate and my pain

What happens when you're at the end?
Is it what I'm feeling inside my body, inside my head?
Is all I hoped for in life deteriorating away in the air?
Turning to dust; dust to ashes;
my whole life is falling through my hands.
Negative thoughts cloud my mind,
run through my body, eat away at my insides.
Grasping for some sort of sanity, hoping I'll sleep tonight
But they keep on at me
I no longer can put up a fight.
Help me! Help me! she screams in pain,
but her voice is never heard by anyone--it's drowned out by the echoes in her brain
The only traces left of her are her tears--this is all that remains
Lying there she goes crazy,
out of her mind
Grasping for something, something sane that she can not find.
Forced to give in
'cause they've taken her mind, body, and soul.
Her whole body goes numb; Can not move, speak, or cry
She's lost control !!!
The only thing that is done is lie there feeling paralysed
from the bottom of her soul;
Forever emotionally left in a deep dark hole.

I felt it coming; Good-Bye

Pain in my head
Pain in my heart
it runs through my body tearing my insides apart
i've become so weak i fall to my knees
Sometimes i'm numb, my legs paralyzed, I can not breath
Hoping someone will help me soon
I lye in bed waiting in my room.
I cry & cry shedding tear after tear as I tell myself I need more beer.
As the tears turn my eye sight to a haze
I stare at the glass bottles in a gaze :
"Hmmm if I broke it, it would be sharp--as sharp as a knife, I could cut
myself, Die with just once slice & end my life"
Years go by and I contemplate this decision;
My life waiting out to complete the curses mission
Down in my room I stare at the glass
Starring for a while then I pick it up and --Slash
I let out a whimper then scream real loud
My parents run down the steps,
my mom opens my door and falls to the ground
They see me with tears pouring from each eye,
just lying up against my bed waiting to die.
My mom yells to my dad "Call 911"
But by the time they get here I was already dead in a puddle of blood.
My mother grabs me in her arms and prays to god up above
as my dad sighs " Didn't she know she was loved ?"
But no matter how many tears they cry, no matter what they do
and no matter what they say
can NEVER, and will NEVER bring me back - - - -
because their daughter died today!
