Can't you see the scars
The internal and external
Can't you see how she hides her wrist
She tried to get rid of pain with more pain
So why do you still taunt her
She has been through enough already
Shouldn't you treat her better than others
She needs to be nurtured
Not tortured
My parents bought a little two-bedroom house when they first got married. It was run down, falling apart, but most importantly: cheap.
Two years later, my mother fell pregnant with me. She immediately abandoned her job for some plaster and paint and set about decorating the untouched spare room. She splashed pastel yellow across the walls, replaced the dingy carpet and kitted out the room with furniture.
Sixteen years after my birth, and the yellow paint is flaking off the walls revealing the kiwi green beneath. I can peel back the corners of the carpet to reveal the worn underlay and half rotten floorboards. I can examine the fringe of my
The rain soaked through his thin socks and he left faint footprints along the cracked concrete as he stumbled past the blinking neon signs of 24 hour corner shops, the puddles of water reflecting their garish hue across his face. Cold night air clung to his damp t-shirt, moulding it to his arms and back. But he didn't feel the chill. He didn't feel anymore. His mind was too preoccupied with emptiness. Overhead, the sky was a crazy blend of purple-grey mud, effectively blocking the moons attempts to shine through. The streets were deserted, except for him and a scrawny dog. Though the dog wasn't much in the way of company anyway, expectantly b
She tries to catch his eye
He walks right on by
She stares at him consistently
His gaze makes her so weak
His head turns her way
She quickly looks away
His eyes lock on hers
She shakes she has no nerve
When he's around her she's just another girl
When she's around him her stomach completely twirls
He has no idea what he does to her
Around him she's crazy for sure
She stares and smiles, gets lost in his eyes
He simply waves he's not too wise
She drops every single hint in the world
He's so oblivious to this lovesick crazy girl
Open your eyes boy she's nuts about you
Open your eyes boy you're all she wants
Open your eyes boy y
I feel trapped
I feel lost
The world around me captures me
This town....it suffocates me
The walls of this place cave the longer I stay
And the harder it is to breathe
I need to escape and fast
Or I will forever be crushed under the restraints of this place
I can feel myself dying
My heart as it's crying
My body weakens with every tear that escapes my eye
My face cringes at every shatter of the heart that is heard
Over and over again
I'm an outcast to this place
I don't belong here
I gravitate towards the other misfits, oddballs, the weirdos
I love them, all off them
They piece back together the shattered heart
But two have
Tears of Blood by Collateral-Damage666, literature

Tears of Blood
Tears of blood
Stream down my face.
I try to hide them
But they spread
Like a plague.
The pain is showing
All over my body.
The redness of blood,
Like a poisoned apple,
Has stained my skin.
My nails are caked
With the forgotten tears
Of those from the past
When I still cried
These tears of blood.
The red sinks into my hair,
Dying it the color of death.
I cannot escape it.
It is always there
Like a drunken tattoo.
Make these stop
I'm drowning in blood
The red sea is up to my chin
If I let out a scream,
I will drown and cease to exist.
Maybe that's the best.
The wind blows a cold breeze to me
lost and cold
But there you are, standing there waiting
I was looking lost, it was cold outside. The whiskey rocks how you caught my eye.
I step forward, smiling
beaming, loving
I was happy once again.
My red lips painted, dressed up in black. I needed something to bring me back.
But there was something wrong
Something different
You couldn't hide it
You knew the play and we danced all night. But something wasn't right.
You took me in your arms
held me tight
warmth filled up inside me
You said you love me
You don't call and you won't admit. The lies you spin for your power trip.
We both laugh

Why Won't You Love Me Back?
I kiss you softly,
Savoring your taste.
I scrape my teeth
Down your neck,
But you don't even moan.
I brush your hair away
And kiss you on the forehead
Before pulling you close to me.
You don't respond.
You don't even blink.
You just sit there as I caress you,
I want more,
I would love more.
But you don't give back,
You can't give back.
Because there's a hole
In your chest
Where your heart
Has been ripped out.
You are dead
And I'm left loving
Your cold corpse.
And I take a deep breath into reality
I glance at you and fall to my knees
Oh will you please be with me
You're my obsession
My undeniable addiction
I can never sleep at night
Because you strut across my mind
Your lustful whisper makes me high
This sensation I dare not deny
Will you hold me oh so tight?
Will you make this feel alright?
Will you please be mine tonight?
You're up it's your very first kiss
And you're thinking just how perfect it is
You walk down the hall hand in hand
Thinking about your future plans
But then three months later
When you face is coated with tears
You fought and he has walked out
You know that he's no longer here
And you try so hard just to get hurt
You fight so long just to get burnt
The feeling, the rush
Just to get pushed and shoved
I guess that's why they call it a crush
You've found someone much better
And he's everything you hoped he would be
When your gone he writes a letter
Saying baby it is just you and me
But then he leaves for some girl
And it's once
