growing. By: kazoekirenai. You were born within broken love, the first of dreaming of something that wasn't real in the eyes of another used and washed away in the silence of the tomorrow you weren't promised You were an innocent, wanting to be loved as you did, full of light, full of hope, that which nothing could break in your eyes, was broken all around you and inside- knowing not what to believe, you became sickened, empty, running to hide within it, losing yourself and the sunshine- the smile in the mirrors, the pictures- they all lied to you knowing not what to believe, you gave up the past and the future, as well as tod

Will you teach me? By me for you Thinking of you, I've forgotten how to sleep Apologies sink in the shallows like dreams that will never reach And the truth beckons me from the depths, but maybe I'm afraid because I dont know how to swim just yet.. [Will you teach me? I'm ready to learn how] Wishing I could tell you goodnight, but tonight I sleep alone tears taking your spot on the pillow Even the waning moon makes a fool of me But I'm using it, too, only watching and waiting for it to become the sun In hope love will find its way into the morn That light never dies I won't let you believe those lies Will you teach me how to swim now? I'

Weakness. By: Kurokushiroku. What's happening to me? Why do I always start feeling this way? I am really still not ready? The green monster rears his face... HOW CAN HE STILL BE HERE?!??! I thought I was stronger than this already... but now I'm afraid I will hurt the feelings of the one I've come to hold dear.... should I run? just keep running alone...? but how far will I get.. with these broken legs..? what happened to all the light I felt... all the thoughts that brought me to the future instead of the past... seems like before this monster they stand no chance... as she's already becoming just another part of my past... I don't

Melt. By: dizzy delay. I don't have the aptitude to pretend Let's go get lost in a mine field of words and sounds and watch the world burn around us a brilliant red beneath the brilliant blue- eyes on you in a place where time loses meaning and we forget everything we thought we'd known; the absurdities the world has us trenched in Let's just strip bare and be ourselves Memories will be just like old movies we've seen enough times to already know how they end.. Breathe to start anew I swear- I'll hold your hand if you're afraid When the world tells us to be machines, let's just melt away because I want to keep these feelings no matter

Someone real. By: Kurokushiroku. Bled a thousand lies just to touch the truth burning in my weakness and my sin come so close only to have my face shoved against the glass of a world I can no longer see through only emptiness consumes - this space before me  that doesn't seem all too real anymore ..I can hear them humming.. ...I can hear them plotting... I listened to the angels  what they say such pretty things such petty actions; misguided in the clouds of a land that only knows of the moon the sun quivers in the distance like a raindrop trying to find its balance from the fall like myself each time I try to get up again backwards, o

Monster. By: Kuroku. I'm no saint maybe I need a real sinner to ruin me rip the bandages off my face reveal the open lock on my heart nothing sacred held but the darkness left in the wake of lies eerily, my comfort wraps around distracted eyes letting me believe I'm innocent oh, how ignorance is bliss.. thought I knew it all thought I had it under control but I'm just a monster beneath the mess waiting to be broken again,again,again screaming for memories that could only remain memories and dreams that could only remain dreams Cold, I'm lying in the cage I put myself in- any blood spilt is the work of my faults but if it must be so, then l

Digress. By: Kuroku. I'm zooming in to the big picture, yet I'm still so far off center, gotta look a little closer, to find the reason behind tears and a smile- sometimes we forget, maybe we're not all that different- have you ever wondered what it would be like to fly? I sure have- every day of my gravity-bound life, always floating back down, when I try to reach the sky, and time melts in the clouds, as the sun sinks to the ground, saying goodnight, - I've been dreaming of a perfect world, maybe that's why I get so angry when nothing goes like I thought it would, but then again, expectations are all a part of our imagination running wild

A jaded, beautiful lie. By: Kuroku. You're so beautiful.. I start to hate it the lie that drives me blind relying on eyes that can no longer see what is real but even my heart can tell.. in pieces, I hold the portrait of you so beautiful on the outside yet so rotten from within broken I look away, like a canary that can no longer sing it seems so useless a skill, when the one I want to hear will never understand desperate to reclaim truth, I reach for the cheeks I thought to be petals- now just as cold as glass or metal lens the frames of which, I can never look through the same again it seems like before I knew you, you were perfect but

Chiisai Hanashi. By: Mr. Feather What's left after we've exhausted the stars..? Just the broken crest of an opened chest with a heart left out for auction a treasure in the cold yet the one who found it will not claim it as their own and I question how much of a fool I could be to fall again- to this same old misery when I spoke of light and now only darkness stirs at my side (so) what do we do after we've exhausted the stars? every story we write with them as the source of light just lullaby's to a lonely soul's moans when no warmth remains only to be stolen so soon after it came close we lie the nights away and drain the sun dry smo
