Your life's far too lonely for you
Can't stand the silence, the sorrow
Home too full of ghosts of memories
Cold and dead tomorrows.

If you stay out till dawn then you won't go home cold
With noise and lights you'll feel warmer.....
The wine makes you talk a little faster
The wine makes you think a little slower
Think a little too slow.

Just drink it down
It'll ease the pain
Don't think, just do
So what if it's the same?
It drives you to the edge
Takes you so high?
So what if it's too far?
At least you'll enjoy tonight.

At least you'll forget life.

Too-friendly smile; light close touch
Take away the thoughts of the girl you once had.
If you drown your conscience enough, well then.
You can erase the warning bells in your head.

The glass goes down like nothing else
Pretty soon you can forget yourself.
From bar to bed, you go too fast.
Till more memories are all that's left.
All that's left.

Just drink it down
It'll ease the pain
Don't think, just do
So what if it's the same?
It drives you to the edge
Takes you so high?
So what if it's too far?
At least you'll enjoy tonight.

At least you'll forget your life.

There's no way to forget
Too much regret.
Drink it all in
Lose who you are
Won't have to face yourself
In the mirror anymore.
Forget it all
Who you once were.

Just take this down
It'll ease the pain.
Don't think, just do
So what if it's the same?
Driven to the edge
Taken too high to fall
So what if it's too far?
At least you won't remember.

At least you'll forget life.

So that's how you know that you're still alive
When your body still writhes in pain.
It's only poetry when they say
A broken heart just keeps on beating.

Taking each day at a time is impossible
When those days are a thousand years at a time.
You ripped out my soul and you knew it too
Don't pretend you regret your lie.

Well you stabbed me through the heart
And left me there to die.
You drove me to it, boy
Eternal suicide.

Thought my hold on life was strong enough
To bear anything you'd dish out.
Well surprise surprise. You can cut any chain
If you hack at it enough.

Thought I'd stick around
Coz boy, you're one of a kind.
But I flat-out refuse to live
If this is what my life is like.

Each day is impossible
When it's a thousand years at a time.
You made me love you and knew exactly what you were doing too
Don't pretend you regret your lie.

Well you stabbed me through the heart
And left me there to die.
You drove me to it, boy.
Enjoy the suicide.

You smiled through your teeth as you kissed her in front of me
Watching me the whole time.
Like you knew you kissed me, so tenderly
As the skies beckon.....(suicide)....

You've left me conclusively already.
Don't pretend you regret my life.

Well you stabbed me through the heart
And left me there to die.
Are you surprised that I finished the job?
Just give me one last lie.

A lie like that night when I laid in your arms
And you told me that you were mine.
And you dare feel guilt that I refuse to live like this.
So write my epitaph.
You took my life.

(So there's this site called Twitter, and it's very inspirational...it is very inspirational because of many things! And this poem that I am posting is inspired by a certain status from a certain random person found on this Twitter site.)

I love you enough to let you come up and hug me from behind.
I love you enough to give you the reasons behind the tears I cry.
I love you a poke and a kiss on the cheek and a falling star.
I love you when I'm in your arms and when you're far too far.
To let you between my fingers like they say in that romance song.
To let you keep your hair short even though I love it long.
To let you keep on screwing up my life and making me a mess
I wouldn't if I didn't love--but I love you enough for that!

I love you enough to put up with your weirdness and annoying little quirks.
I love you enough to give you a second chance even when you're a jerk.
I love you enough to let you into every aspect of my life.
To let you in further than anyone has gone into the recesses of my heart.
I love you enough to fight the urge to protect myself and run
I love you enough to make this work when I don't wanna stick around.
To open myself up again and show you all my scars.
To trust you won't abuse the power you hold and put a new one in my heart.

I love you enough to let myself be completely me
To hold deep philosophical conversations or be all-out crazy
To delicately dance the waltz or bop around to the Cupid Shuffle
To laugh at nothing and everything that isn't even laughable.

I love you enough to forgive you for messing with my mind.
For driving me wild when you chase me, tickle me, kiss me at random times.
To let you make me a different person who's simultaneously simply me--
For bringing out the best and worst and accepting it like it's your cup of tea.
I love you enough to let you explore every part of me
Even though it makes me feel so vulnerable, so scared, coz you hold my every key.
You break me down, you build me up, you make me such a wreck--
I wouldn't put up with it if I didn't love---but I love you enough for that!

To say I was gone--like glass shards in my throat.
But I had to go when staying was tearing you up.
Changing you somehow from who you used to be.
Never thought you'd go just like that when it tore the heart out of me.

You were happier without me, or at least you told me so
I would've stayed forever if you'd asked; hadn't made me go.
The only thing that moved you was when I ran to hide
The tears I couldn't stop staining my breast--as painful as blood to cry.

Before you left you turned to say
Are you gonna be okay?

Oh sure it's fine I'll be all right
I like sleeping alone at night.
Don't feel like you should be guilty at all
You only said you'd stay no matter what.
Don't feel like you should have any regrets.
You only broke my once-whole heart.

There once was no one else but you and me
But you took even the memories.
Casual indifference where loving obsession once stood
Cold cruel space between every old warm hug.

I miss you, I miss you, but you don't even care
Yeah, I left, like a woman; did you take it like a man?
We used to talk for hours; haven't seen you for months.
I can't even remember your taste on my tongue.

Before you left you turned to say
Are you gonna be okay?

Oh sure it's fine I'll be all right
I like sleeping alone at night.
Don't feel like you are guilty at all
You only said you'd stay through it all.
Don't feel like you should have any regret.
You only broke me to the core of my heart.

(Based on...my own self! :p  Not really. Well kind of. It's a longish story.)

I've felt this way so many times.
Sometimes you run away
Not to leave, but to see who'll chase you
And bring you back home again.
I curse at you only because the love chokes my mind.
I say nothing when I should speak
Coz I'd rather cut off my tongue
Than risk saying anything that might possibly give you grief.
I pretend nothing's wrong
Because I want to know that you know me so well
That you can figure it out on your own.
I'm maddening, impossible, confusing to even myself
Coz I love you so much you drive me wild
I don't know what to do.
You're expected to fulfill me.
You're expected to contradict me.
You're expected to know when to speak and when to hold me and let me cry.
It's hopeless, this game, this love-wracked list of rules.
We've all lost before we've begun.
But I know how that feels
Love.
To run away and still want to be caught.

That first day knocked the breath out of me
With your maddening smile and your little red heels
So friendly and open but so hard to get
Never thought you could be all I'd want.

Marry me
As I stand here today for all of my life.
Sleep with me
Tonight and for a thousand million nights.
Laugh with me
As I tickle you by my side.
Love me
For I will never never ever regret making you my wife.
I love thee.

You push me over the edge like no one I've ever known
You move the tumult inside of me with as much strength as the clear moon.
Drive me crazy, make me high, but there's no one I'd rather instead.
An open book with as many intricacies as the ocean's depths.

Marry me
This day and all the days of my life
Sleep with me
Tonight and for a thousand million nights.
Laugh with me
Everytime I hold you so close my side.
Love me
For if you say yes I'll never make you regret becoming my wife.
I love thee.

(Sort of stole inspiration for this one from a friend's status...something about ceilings and love. :p )

So I tore her from the sky
As she lay dying upon the stars.
The blood of her cried unto heaven
As she fell into my arms.
Porcelain mask cracked in two
Black polish chipping away.
The stars left her spirit alone
As though she fell to stay.
It hurts, it hurts, dear God, it hurts
But it's proof I'm still alive.
Is that really any better though?
I'd rather be with her and die.

I'd rather join her in the skies.

We fought through fire and water
Sometimes we talked through the night.
Won the battle that was the hardest
By refusing to yield to the demons inside.
Let her go, you filth
For this one, she is mine.
Come hell or high water
You will not touch her again.
Bring on your wiles and shifty ways
Come on and finish the job.
So you think you can tear her to pieces?
Well try then. Bring it on.
You hurt her when I was absent
And stuck her till she wept
Well I'm home now. You can't hurt her again.
Not if I stick you first.
Through the blazes of hell and the forges of fire
I only thought of her warmth.
Through the drought of the last drop in our canteens
She absorbed my mind more than thirst.
He thought I did it for victory
For fate, for the greater good.
But the truth is the millions of people I saved
Meant less to me than this rose.
With death spouting around us
And fire on my heels
The ribbons broke me more than swords
And burned my eyes with tears.
If I fight for him, and I fight for them,
And this one's for the Shire
If they asked me if I loved you
My lips would doom me to be a liar.
But in years away I still hope for you
And my heart cannot be untrue.
It will never change, regardless your response, darling.
I love you. So much.
Do you?

(This is written as a romance, but the truth is, a lot of this works for friendship too. [Ignore the looks requirements and the kids part, but yeah. :p ] Back rubs, adoration, and safety are a valued quality in any close relationship, romantic or otherwise.)

Someone who will tolerate Regency flicks
And who has dark curly hair.
Someone who shows mercy
But who always does what's fair.

Someone who can take care of me
Give me a safe and stable home.
Whom I and any children can always depend on
Who won't let me sleep alone.

Someone who will hold me and protect me
Every day of my life.
Someone who will never ever regret
Making me his wife.

Is there somebody like that out there?
Is there someone someday who will love me?
Somewhere?

Who will tease me and tickle me
But defend me fiercely to the world.
Someone with eyes so beautiful
Someone who gives back rubs.

Who will laugh as I color on the walls with my kids
And put up with me singing all the time.
Someone who wants a huge rambling castle too
Who'll enjoy my silly scribbling rhymes.

Someone who won't resent my stupidity
In constantly trusting most everyone in my life.
Who won't view the world through rose-colored glasses
So he can comfort me when people lash out and make me cry.

Someone whom I can make truly happy
Whom they're happy to come home to.
Tell me if you're listening
Coz all I want is
You.

A rose bears a thousand swords
To protect her blossoms from hurt.
But I'd rather have you protecting me
Holding me safe from the dark of this world.

Two penguins, once met, stay true for life
And keep the other from cold.
But a thousand penguins will leave their mate
Before you leave me here alone.

You're warmer than the sun
And leave me more storm-tossed than the sea.
Take me, hold me, don't let me go.
Be my penguin.
Stay here with me.
