The Sound of Silence

A temptress of words
A well-worded poet
Finding the rhymes,
Dodging the bullets.
Flirting with danger
Knowing the price,
Following the road
Upon which he lies.
Learned an oath
Never forgotten
Leaves behind
A pretense of falseness.
Tripping over stones
Worn smooth by water,
Losing your path
Following darkness.
A battle not won,
A wound now forgotten
Not paid in full,
Still haven't gotten
The word and the new
Of the cities that fall
And the people that lose

And she cries
In the road less travelled and worn,
And she knows
That it's rather this than be torn.
She sees the world through
A different Looking-glass.
She sits in a place
No better than the last.
And she thinks that it'll be better
As she sits, rereads his letter.
Crystal clear tears drip down her face,
All the innocence gone from this place.
And she cries,
the sweetest tears are the thing
that makes her who she is,
And she cries.

You are sensitive, I am a Machine,
I've seen love die too many times
When it deserves to live.
We speak a different language
When we fight the ones we love,
So please, Forgive what I have done.
No, you can't stay mad at the setting sun.
I never told you,
But it's all in your goodbyes.
If you lie, you don't deserve
To have friends.
Ain't it pretty,
The way it fits together at night,
Planned perfection sought in my dreams.
I never said this was my Revolution
When I looked you in the eyes,
But I lied.


P.S. I didn't write this poem, I found it somewhere a few years ago, I can't remember where though. Anyhow, I loved it, and I wanted to post it,
Thanks

Does it take more to burn down a city
or build it up?
I'm breaking down the walls
To make a whole new city
Cause baby we can't grow without pain.
And maybe this isn't our love story
But we've all still got a lot of pain
And we're still breaking down those walls.
Maybe we're more fragile that we thought
But we've gotta be fragile to grow.
So burn down those walls,
Rebuild your city,
Because I know you wanna protect your heart,
Even when you're trying to
Tear down my walls.
They say Rome wasn't built in a day,
Just like burning down a city takes time.

So poetically inadequate.







Stiff fingers scrawl words,






Hearts race and chillbumps crawl,






No warmth on the soul.






No dreams, you took them all.






I’m picturing your smile






Flirting across your lips.






Are you thinking of me?






Or is she on your mind,






Your half-friend,






Ex-girlfriend, first love?






And I thought you’d sweep me






Off my feet, how wrong could I be.






No furtive smiles, no secrets






In your eyes?






You really have nothing to hide?






Why don’t I believe you.






It’s not like you’ve never lied.






My body is cold, lacking outer heat,






But if you were nearby,






You could be keeping me warm.






Roses wilt and fade,






Need I carry on this tirade?






Because diamonds always sparkle,






But I always seem to fade






Into black, into the back.






Has the ground never shook






Beneath your feet?






Would I be the first






To notice the brewing tempest?






Do you want me to be a






Beguiling temptress? Because






Being me does not seem to be






Attention grabbing.






And you think I’ve got






A heart made of stone,






But you’re so wrong, so blind,






And you’ve crossed a line.






So no more games, give me






Something more, hold me in






Your arms, not letting go.






Warm up my frozen skin,






Help me move again.






Kiss my lips, let me taste






What causes my heart to race.

I can almost taste it , you and me
The way your eyes settle on me
Seeing me, for real.
We're so close
But still so far.
Some twisted set of rules
Is what is holding you
Holding you back from me.
It's like a twisted dance
and I don't know the steps.
Because now that I know
I know the truth,
It makes it harder and
Harder to stay away.
Because I can't stay away from you...
You're better at that then me.
And when I see you looking at me,
My heart sings.
So baby, can't we get just a little bit closer?

I'm exhausted, but I love you guys, so I'll give you a post.


Your smell should linger on my skin, so I can always breathe you in.
You can always make me warm, even when you're not next to me.
You light this fire within my heart, and it feels like I could fall apart.
You can make me tremble, make me swoon, and you've got me eating out of the palm of your hand.
I wish you could be together but you don't seem to feel the same way.
I thought that we could be together, but you seem to be ignoring me.
I wish, I wish, but don't we all?
You should be with me, because I feel like I belong in your arms.
And it's been such a long time, and I'm so sick of waiting. Aren't I worth chasing?
I thought that there was something in me worth fighting for, but I guess I thought wrong.
My heart is broken, and I don't want it to be.
You promised you wouldn't hurt me,
Well guess what,
You did.

You don't even know how you make me feel
You make me think, yet you make me real
I'm glad I can be me
But the one thing that scares me
Is I trust you with everything
My life,
My secrets,
Everything there is to know about me,
I trust you with
Everything about you,
I trust you with.
That must mean something,
Maybe it means that I love you
But you wouldn't noticed me,
I'm just the girl you lend your hoodie to
Or put your hands on my face and look into my eyes.
I'm just the girl you joke about warming up,
Or putting your arm on top of mine,
Just to show me how warm you are.
But somewhere in there
amongst the hugs and the eye contact in the halls
I know I'm the only one you trust
And I take that to heart

Guess what, I'll never be good enough
I don't do anything right
I never look good enough
And I make dumb mistakes
I want you to love me the way I am
But sometimes it gets harder and harder
It's like I can't breathe
Like you're smothering me.
I know it's not your fault
You couldn't have known
But it gets harder every time
Sorry Dad
