Teaching Myself To Live (Teach Me To Drown's Poetry)

Ever regret something so mcuh...that you wanted to die?
Ever regret something so much....that you wanted live...



Leave me the alone
And we’ll forget everything we thought
Only because...
Its really what you want.
Get someone else to fall in the trap
It hurts more then you know
Its not the best way
To let go…
With a mirror in my hand
Shards showing their beauty
Leaving an unknown in the glass
And a blade…to keep you company
Just wait right there
And im sure I’ll come soon
Just give me some time
To fully think this through
there you are once again
Lying on the floor
Covered in your blood
Except for this time
You didn’t want me to call
They started your heart once...they will do it again
Please just let me go
And we can both run round the bends
with out a care in the world
We can have those awkward moments
When we both look at each other and see what we forgot
We can re live all those times we did crazy things
If only you would understand
How much you mean to me
And now that your permanitally blind…
You cannot see...
What you have done and what im going to do
Im gonna slide the razor cross my wrists
And lie down next to you…
Time to live the moments again
And these will be our last…
I left the world next to you
With a single regretting gasp.

Teach Me To Drown:

Silently Hiding

I tried to read between the lines
But there seemed to be no words

I just love something about that line, not sure what, but it's great.

and then you go through my back pack!?!?!?!?!

*shoves alex poetry journal and money into backpack* i suppose i could give it back...

Kite and the Key

i believe that everything
falls down to the ground
i belive that all my love
left with silent sound
i took what i called a heart
you broke it down to size
i shoved it in my pocket
and swallowed down the lies
cold and crisp like wind
harsh breath against my face
trying to hold onto water
and keep up my slowing pace
catapolting through my body
and leaving a jolted shock
finding the kite with a key
now i can open the lock
i run and throw the key away
i dont even want to see
the black hole that formed in my heart
and what you did to me

i like that last poem a lot!! =]

D.U.I

-Driving-

Headlights go on
Engines slightly gasp
Steering wheel
Resting in a light grasp

Swerving wildly
Through lines of red
100mph on the highway…
Of the living dead

Turn on the radio
Listen to the screams
Blink back cautiously
From the flashing high beams

Wheels roll on asphalt
Rubber burns through pores
Gripping so hard on the wheel
Leaving calices and sores

Lights go off, you can’t see
Gas petal hits the floor
Look around in darkness
Speed limit sign...hits the door

Dents dress the silver car
Shattered glass stains the street
Something’s stuck in my back
Slowing my heartbeat

I turn my head the opposite way
To see what I dearly dread
My killer is walking
Towards a soft ambulance bed


Up comes my aching body
I limp from the pain
Im just another pawn
In your twisted little game


Up comes my bloody thumb
And past goes a dead biker
I blame you for everything
I’m just another hitch-hiker.

I love your poetry Alex *hugs*

thanks!
*hugs*

ive been in a WICKED writers block lately
so sorry i havnt been posting much

Wow
that told a story, it was really emotional, really personal, you did a real good job
Very, very good, not blowing smoke, you're getting better and better
