The Mistake

She chose to walk alone.
Though others wondered why.
Refused to look before her,
Kept eyes cast upwards,
Towards the sky.

She didn’t have companions.
No need for earthly things.
Only wanted freedom,
From what she felt were puppet strings.

She longed to be a bird.
That she might fly away.
She pitied every blade of grass
For planted they would stay.

She longed to be a flame.
That brightly danced alone.
Felt jealous of the steam
That made the air its only home.

Some say she wished too hard.
Some say she wished too long.
But we awoke one autumn day
To find that she was gone.

Some say she wished too hard.
Some say she wished too long.
But we awoke one autumn day
To find that she was gone.

The trees, they say, stood witness.
The sky refused to tell.
But someone who had seen it
Said the story played out well.

She spread her arms out wide.
Breathed in the break of dawn.
She just let go of all she held…

And then she was gone.

Love Lost

Love is the taste of his kiss
the scent of his shirt
The things that you miss

Love is the pain that you feel when he’s gone
When he’s left you alone
When his world has withdrawn

Love is the wind
So fleeting and unkind
As it’s taken away
As he leaves you behind

What Is This Thing You Call “Love”?

What is this thing called love
I have not heard of it before.
Can you eat it?
Can you smell it?
What is this thing called love?
Can you tell me what it is?

Now that I know what it is
I wish I did not
This so-called love
It is not the money that this world revolves around
Nay
It is this horrid word called “love”
Love…
That word sickens me to no end
I do not believe in that word
Nor do I want to
That word “love” does not exist

When you say you love someone,
you do not mean it
You only say it to get what you want
Love does not exist
It is “lust” you talk about my dear friend

Sealed Feelings

Submitted by xXHeartHeartbreakerXx

I’ve sealed away my feelings that were in my heart
And with that the clouds have began to spread
My feelings will just take me back to the start
The feelings will just jumble up the thoughts in my head

My feelings of you are included
My feelings always get in the way of my thoughts
I tried to fight my feelings for you back
I’ve fought very hard, but I have not lost

I know I have barely won
I realize that they are leaking out
But at least I can keep them back some
Just do not begin to pout
If I cannot be the one
For you to love

Confused

My mind says I don’t love you
But my heart says I do
My body doesn’t know what to think
But I think it says I hate you
Because of what you do to me

(No!)I’m so confused
I don’t now what to think anymore
I don’t know if I love you or hate you
I can’t think straight anymore
I hate you, I love you
I don’t really know
All I know is that I’m so confused

((this part is whispered))How do I know I love you (love you)?
My mind is a maze (a maze)
Except once you enter you can’t get out (can’t get out)
My heart is covered with a haze (a haze)
Don’t try to save me
I’m already dead (already dead)
But it’s not like you would even try to

((this part is sung)) I’ve decided
I think I don’t need you
But I actually do
These are such hard times
For me (For me)
I can’t decide what I want

(No!) I’m so confused
I don’t now what to think anymore
I don’t know if I love you or hate you
I can’t think straight anymore
I hate you, I love you
I don’t really know
All I know is that I’m so confused

I don’t think I’ll ever figure this out
And if I ever do
It’s not like I would tell you
So just stay in your sugar-coated world
And leave me in my hell-risen mine
