This tightness in my chest
The one that gives away your presence
How I can just be with you
And somehow
Everything will be alright
These chills that crawl on my skin
When you cross my mind
That look in your eyes
The one that tells me
You wouldn't want to be anywhere else
Those kisses that start in my lips
And head straight to my toes
The electric current makes my heart leap
You don't even need words
To tell me you love me
And if you love me half as much
As I love you
Then the road may be bumpy
And we may shed a few tears
But I think you already know
That I'll always be here
Thick, gray liquid
melts down the slide
pouring into a mold
Beginning to resemble
something real
Before it hardens
becoming permanent
they can change it
shape it, until the concrete
settles just the way they want
The sludge hardens overnight
into it's permanent bed
Deviants sneak up
feeling tricky and they
leave their mark for good
The brand new structure
everyone marvels at
Solid and comforting
representing a safe journey
until it's taken for granted
Time wears it away
Pieces erode into dust
No one notices
Until construction begins again
And she finds someone new
to be her concrete
It should have been raining that night. Thats how it always is in the movies. Its always raining when her universe falls apart. But it wasnt. That day the skies were clear and the air was warm. She had spent the day with her girl friends soaking up the sun in her bikini and laughing. The day had been perfect. That night was muggy, the last remains of August spilling over into the first days of September. The sky was preparing to rain, but it wasnt. In the movies, the director will fast forward through most of it, highlighting the most dramatic points. We wont work. I will always love you.

The Great Escape
The words tumble from my lips
Fall through the air
Weave their harmony
They can't escape fast enough
My voice rises higher and higher
I scream at the top of my lungs
Telling the empty room everything I am
The burning in my throat never ceases
I
can't
stop
now
Not when I have so much left to say
Black words bounce off white walls
Hurtling around the small room
A whirlwind pulling me apart
Trapping me within their thoughts
The chaos I have become
Trails through my hair
drips off my skin
Burns my eyes
Words stacked on top of each other
pile around my feet
Trapping my feet
I'm not going anywhere until I sort them all out
I want to cry and scream
fit the pieces back inside of me
I'm scared of this emo theme
Why won't the memories let me be?
Accidental words climb out of my mouth
The cherished secrets thrown about
I want to run away, to flee to the south
To leaved behind the anguished shout
All I hear is my pulse racing
hammering the inside of my skull
You'll catch me in my room, pacing
A caged tiger, my stripes are dull
Black and orange run together
Creating this muddy, unclear color
Thanks to this stormy weather
The gloom making once clear lines duller
I used to know where I stood
Before the ground disappeared, now I'm falling
I used to know
Do you remember me? by yellow-stickie-note, literature
Literature
Do you remember me?
I hope you still remember me
Now that I'm no longer in your life
I wish I could still be the last thing you see
when you close your eyes at night
I know I still remember you
Even though you're no longer here
When I stare into the inky black and blue
You're the only one on my mind
Now that you have new friends
and you're in a new place
I hope we don't have to end
That I still get a phone call from you
Can I still tell you everything on my mind?
Will you even listen to the words I write?
Or will I call you one day and find
That you don't even remember my name.
Try to blend in. Plain black tank top, light colored jeans. Ive washed off the brightly colored my ink that littered my arm. I hide behind a thick black line of eyeliner further darkening my eyes with mascara. I cant do anything about my hair, the pitch-black strands will stick out no matter what, its not like anyone else at school has hair like mine. Everyone else has shades of blonde, red and brown. I tug a lock into my face attempting to hide my pale skin. I stare at the almost luminescent sheen my skin has to it and I think of everyone elses perfect tan or naturally darker skin. Not a lot I can do there either. I e
Damn tired of waiting
Damn scared to ask
Words want to come
But there's nothing worth saying
You're burning away at me
Eating my heart
Acid mauling my mind
Words straining to be set free
Are you waiting for a certain sign?
How clear do I have to make it?
Scream in your ear?
Will you be mine?
~zomb
My body feels like lead
I'd rather be in bed
Nothing can besaid
About the aching exhaustion I feel
Shaking from my lack of sleep
Collapsing in a human heap
All my energy has seeped
into where i lay to rest
Can't keep my eyes open
Through all my classes I'm hoping
That I can keep on coping
With this pure exhaustion
~zomb
I accidentily cut myself today and as i was watching the blood well up, I thought 'Wow, human's are extremely fragile vessles.' So anyway, with this thought came 'Maybe we need to evolve to become more resilient.' In my Biology class we're doing reports on environmental issues. Mine was overpopulation and someone else's was global warming. In my research I found that becasue of overpopulatin there is less food going around so babies are being born with more and more defects, also casued by polution, which relates to global warming. I was thinking, with global warming there will be natrual disaters, which will kill 1000s maybe even millions. B
pathetic romantic by yellow-stickie-note, literature
Literature
pathetic romantic
He makes me happy
he makes me sad
he makes me feel amazing
he makes me feel useless
He twists my emotions
he breaks my heart
he bends my soul
he mends my spirit
Hes a shattered mirror
that reflects me whole
He holds me close
he avoids my looks
He drives me crazy
he keeps me sane
he makes me want scream
but i can't let anyone hear it
I want to tell him all my secrets
I want to keep them close
I want him to never know
I want to know his secrets
I want him to stay out of my head
My thoughts revolve around him
And i just don't see
why i'm so attracted
Abandon, alone
left behind with no one to hear
me screaming
crying
praying for dying
letting the dark take hold
putting on my happy face
for the people passing me by
waiting for someone to turn around
the sign says one way
break the rules for once
just don't leave me here
to struggle along
with this fear weighing me down
my nightmare finally come true
caught in a web
lost on an island
barricaded in on all sides
collapsing, relapsing
I try to say I don't care
but I'm so scared
scrambling to grab something
someone
Pretending I'm fine
slowly falling into hysteria
wishing someone would see
theres something wrong
despret
Crack, snap, crinkle, crumble
'Be patient and prosperity will come knocking at your door.'
The wise slip of paper said
and nothing more
But I have to wonder
How patient do I have to be?
What prosperity?
Does it mean the same to me?
The vague implications
that everyone sees
that everyone gets
relates
connects
resents
Does everyone have it coming?
Am I as unique as I thought?
Can I stand out?
The way I want?
I pitch ideas
and no one responds
I speak my mind
but to everyone else
it goes beyond
I live my petty life
and I have to wonder
I can be patient
but for how much longer?
~zomb
burning up
collapsing inward
fighting to keep the words in
keep my life together
head spinning
stretched thin
collapsing before its time
no time for sleep
im in way to deep
to get out now
im dont know how
itd just be to hard
ill keep on going
but i dont know for how long
ill have to sleep some time
just not now
i cant afford it now
busy
way to busy for one person
accomplishments are what i need now
but will my body survive
will my mind stay whole?
we already know im insane
but how much will remain
once im free of restraining walls
pulling myself up
takes a lot of strength
i used it all to get halfway up quickly
no
wishing for night
praying for flight
reaching up beyond the clouds
getting away from suffocating crowds
breaking free of all my walls
leaving behind the deafening halls
keeping myself relativly sane
hoping that my mind will remain
untouched and whole
repairing a shattered soul
pulling out of a bottomless revine
nothing is quite what it seems
hoping that i still make sense
hoping i can finally get some rest
maybe the struggle will finally end
and my angels will fianlly send
something down that i can grasp
a friendly hand i can clasp
finally done with all my screaming
finally falling in the land of the dreaming
~zomb
I miss those summer days
when nothing was serious,
but every moment meant the world to me.
Warm nights,
loitering at the train station.
Sunny afternoons,
walking to no where.
I miss those summer days
when your smile was brighter than the open sky,
and your eyes held all the secrets in the world,
reflecting each bird and cloud
that passed over our heads.
I want to go back to when we were perfectly content
with sitting in the grass,
holding hands,
and watching the night pass by.
I miss laughing until we can't breathe,
and bantering over silly things
only because we have nothing better to do.
I'd gladly go back to the day we g
My name was Emily. I don't know what to call myself now. Of all the nick names I've had over the years Zombie is the best I can think of that suits me now. Not because it's what I most resemble, though I'm sure I do at some points, it's becasue it's the farthest name from what people used to know me as. Because Emily is too normal, naive, pure, innocent. For now, Zombie works, though I'm sure I'll shed this shell too, eventually. Only because I'm riding this continuous downward spiral into morbidity, into apathy. That is my eventual goal. To be numb, free from all mortal emotion. I don't know why I clung to my pain for so long, I suppose I us
Yo! My English teacher wants me to enter a poetry contest. I have to submit three poems, do you guys think you could pick your favorite three? that would be most helpful =]]
I feel like you kicked me in the face. I really dont think time could have done anything to prevent this. No matter how long it was. i had to be replaced eventually, and no matter if it was now or a year from now it would still hurt to see that you no longer consider me a "top friend". i guess i was mistaken when i thought we were still close. i guess i really am just sex to you. sorry for the misconception.
Everyone has someone in their life who does not have a degree in teaching, but still manages to teach them something, or at least make them think beyond their comfort levels. More often than not this person is both hated and respected. My teacher makes me so uncomfortable to the point where I want to walk away and never see him again. But out of respect and caring what he thinks of me as a person, I don't. I detest how he can make feel. How next to him I feel like the most insignificant person ever. But, I look forward to conversations with him and I'm constantly trying to prove my worth to him. At the same time I don't want to appear stupid,
