[hometext] => #8 in my Avril series, inspired by Anything But Ordinary... and everyone I've ever loved who was fake. To anyone who's ever hidden the real you - *you cannot see the world behind closed eyes*
[bodytext] => Sometimes I see my face and I don't think that could be me
I'm falling so hard and I'm so afraid
Sometimes I scare myself when I see that knife in my hand
But I'm not strong enough to be that weak
I scream myself to sleep and I hate the sound of my fear
But not as much as I loathe the silence
The cadence of my own breath is enough to drive me mad
The thrill of death, it makes me feel alive
But it's not enough to breathe
When you don't have a reason to live
It's not enough to love me
If you can't make it believable
I lay here torn and bleeding
'Cause you ripped out my heart and left me
And I'm euphoric from your touch
Don't save me if it's enough to die
I'd rather walk through fire than live my life the way you would
'Cause you don't feel the wind the way I do
I've been to hell and back for love and I'd do it again
I've learned that I am me, and you are you
Nothing can change that and I hope you understand it's real
'Cause I can't love you if I don't know you
The mirror will break and the smoke will fade, where will you hide?
You cannot see the world behind closed eyes
I'm sorry for all I've done
'Cause I don't wanna bleed anymore
But I'm crying forever
And the crystal twilight cuts my eyes
I can't love like I used to
And I'd die just to see if you'd care
Sometimes I forget to breathe
I just wanna live for a reason
Step out of the shadows
Cry a broken tear if you can feel
Take off that ugly mask
Throw it to the wind and scream out loud
Open those rusted eyes
If you look you will see all that's real
Taste it, don't waste it
Never again, don't ever fake it
It's not enough to breathe
There's no motive to bleed
It's not enough to love
There's no shame in your tears
It's not enough to die
It's gonna be alright
If you'll only give me
A reason to live

There's so much here it is overwhelming to me. I can't digest it all. I love the imagery though---broken tear, rusted eyes. Some lovely stuff. Maybe I'll try again later. Too early to think that hard or feel that much. Sorry.

As little as I like what you have said to me so far I do enjoy your writing.
An Avril series? Intruguing. I will have to go look up the rest.
I really like how you wrote this. |

I don't like Avril Lavign a whole ton, but I can definately see the relationship between this poem and "Anything but ordinary". I love this--and I know exactly how you feel. I havn't yet found my reason either--and sometimes I feel like dying just to see if anyone would really care. You have to believe people care. Otherwise there is no point to our existance. Keep hanging on. I'm here if you ever feel like talking.
Great write!

great job! year, hang on in there for your self. you've got a talent, so don't let it go to waste. show this person that you're writing about that you are stronger than what you are now, and trust me, i know that its easier said than done. but when you've done it, you'll look back and laugh. good luck,
from deathdrop. |

First of the imagery was amazing.
'And the crystal twilight cuts my eyes' for example was unique and creative. One can tell you put in a lot of thought, emotion and energy in the poem. At first it seemed a little lengthy but when I read through it, it didnt seem all that long because it was such an absorbing read. Last of, its cool that you have a series for your poems. Pretty intresting. Good job to say the least. |

Whoa . . . somehow I missed this when you posted it.
Keeping certain things in mind, though, I'm sure you can figure out this poem's significance to me. One of those ones where it feels like someone's ripped the words that you'll never be able to say out of your throat and pinned them to paper. You seem to do that rather a lot, as it happens . . .
"The mirror will break and the smoke will fade, where will you hide?
You cannot see the world behind closed eyes"-- damn, Dee.
Just . . . damn.
