  Love can suffocate

  

  By forget_me_not, Chesapeake, VA

  Beautiful broken winged butterfly, trapped in his tightly grasped hands. It tries to escape, but the air will soon run out. life slipping through his fingers like grains of sand. Intertwined fingers muffle every desperate shout. It abruptly drops. When running about, thoughts of the beautiful butte...

  No one

  

  By forget_me_not, Chesapeake, VA

  darkness surrounds me. no movement. no voices. no sound. silence. I scream, yet no noise escapes my mouth. emptiness. I can't hear anything. my heart beat has faded. my breathing as well. nothing. I run. now knowing where I'm running to. nowhere. life no longer exsists. wher...

  Not ready

  

  By forget_me_not, Chesapeake, VA

  What would you think, if you only knew. Exactly how I feel about you. All alone I could cry forever. Sometimes I have to hold myself together. Sometimes I don't wanna see you, but often your all that I see. I ponder in my silence, can it ever be? You're everywhere I look,...

  Afraid

  

  By forget_me_not, Chesapeake, VA

  The truth is that I'm afraid to be happy because whenever something brings me any kind of happiness it's snatched away from me like I don't deserve it. Maybe thats why I was afraid to love you because if I did, I just know you would leave me, like you did. Just walked out of ...

  The tale of the sun.

  

  By forget_me_not, Chesapeake, VA

  I see the girl on her tricycle peddling down the sidewalk. I see the mailman with an armful of mail. I see the little boy drawing pictures with his chalk. I see the house down the street that is for sale. I see the mother cooking dinner for her kids. I see the father return home after deploymen...

  Dreams

  

  By forget_me_not, Chesapeake, VA

  Dreams are made to escape the world around you. Relief from all the pain that surrounds you. Your eyes close as the light becomes faint. Your mind like a canvas which upon you can paint. Dreams can make you smile, scream, laugh or even cry. But it can all disappear in the blink of an eye. So dre...

  Clean

  

  By forget_me_not, Chesapeake, VA

  I thought I could just ran away. I startin' runnin' but I started to stray. Thought about you for so long now I've lost my mind. Had my eyes closed for so long that now I'm blind. Everyday I tell myself that I hate you but in my heart I know that's not tr...

  Eternity

  

  By forget_me_not, Chesapeake, VA

  The world on my shoulders cause much strain. How long must i suffer from all of this pain? When you die where do you go? I gaze into the sky yearning to know. A leaf falls from a tree in a formation of it's own design. I question myself was that a sign. It was silent as the moment stopp...

  Going down

  

  By forget_me_not, Chesapeake, VA

  I try to deny the words that were just spoken. I grab my chest for my heart was just broken. Your words like a dagger piercing my soul. I fall to my knees, I lose all control. I can not see. For a veil of tears has blinded me. I hear each step as you begin to walk away. I grab your hea...

  Friendship is...

  

  By forget_me_not, Chesapeake, VA

  Friendship is a yellow rose. Give it care as it grows. But if the rose you forget. If the rose you neglect. The rose will droop, sulk, and cry. Then the rose will surely die. The petals will fall, with faded heart. And our friendship will fall apart. We depended on what had stayed. but now ...

  Jump.

  

  By forget_me_not, Chesapeake, VA

  I look down upon the unforgiving world below.   Wondering if I should really go.   The voices in my head are shouting, but I can't hear a word. Maybe I wouldn't fall, I'd fly like a bird. Let go of all the pain, all the shame. ...

  Drowning in the flood

  

  By forget_me_not, Chesapeake, VA

    My heart lie broken, shattered on the floor. It couldn't possibly hurt anymore. I scramble to pick up the pieces, but the jagged edges cut so deep. Down to the ground the blood begins to seep. Red oozing from my hands, the pain unbearable, I fall to my knees. Someone end this excrushat...

  just cry

  

  By forget_me_not, Chesapeake, VA

  I hold my breath. I close my eyes. I try, but the tears refuse to stop. now I'm drowning in my misery. I begin to lose all feeling. If only my heart were numb. If only, I could just stop crying. If the pain would go away. maybe I'd continue. but the water is rising. It far too la...
