Roses are red,

Violets are blue

I have a STD

Now so do you.

 

OR (random love crap i found online so i wouldnt get yelled at)

 

You're the one I can't live without

This fact is true, I have no doubt
I love the way you smile at me
I love the way together we're free
You may be strange and slightly loony
But all this means nothing to me
Because you are who you are
And I can see your beauty
Inside and out
Which is what threw me

When everyday I see you
Till then I cannot wait
To know what we will go through
Are in the hands of fate
The first time that I saw you
I knew I must steal your heart
I hope that it's mine for ever
And that we never do part

You are the one I love the most
And to this here fact I propose a toast;
May we grow old and still have fun
Because I love you and my heart you've won
 

[JunBug]

Haha i was about to do this with your poem 

[JunBug]

I cannot live with you,
It would be life,
And life is over there
Behind the shelf

 

The sexton keeps the key to,
Putting up
Our life, his porcelain,
Like a cup

Discarded of the housewife,
Quaint or broken;
A newer Sevres pleases,
Old ones crack.

I could not die with you,
For one must wait
To shut the other's gaze down,
You could not.

And I, could I stand by
And see you freeze,
Without my right of frost,
Death's privilege?

Nor could I rise with you,
Because your face
Would put out Jesus'.
That new grace

Glow plain and foreign
On my homesick eye,
Except that you, than he
Shone closer by.

In the immortal words of Sean Daley, who won the award for worst lyricist of all time...

"Yeah I got some last words, fuck all y'all!
Stop writin' raps and go play volleyball."

 

-- Atmosphere - "Trying to Find a Balance"

 

I'll meet you all on the beach to play volleyball.

Billy Ray was a preacher's son
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
When they gathered around and started talkin'
That's when Billy would take me walkin'
Out through the back yard we'd go walkin'
Then he'd look into my eyes
Lord knows, to my surprise

 

The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, ooh, yes he was

 

Bein' good isn't always easy
No matter how hard I try
When he started sweet-talkin' to me
He'd come'n tell me "Everything is all right"
He'd kiss and tell me "Everything is all right"
Can I get away again tonight?

 

 

How well I remember
The look that was in his eyes
Stealin' kisses from me on the sly
Takin' time to make time
Tellin' me that he's all mine
Learnin' from each other's knowin'
Lookin' to see how much we've grown

hehe... I would totally post up my high school poetry jk No-way... anyways "Come Join the Murder" - The Forest Rangers

 

 

There's a blackbird perched outside my window
I hear him calling
I hear him sing
He burns me with his eyes of gold to embers
He sees all my sins
He reads my soul

One day that bird he spoke to me
Like Martin Luther
Like Pericles

Come join the murder
Come fly with black
We'll give you freedom
From the human trap
Come join the murder
Soar on my wings
You'll touch the hand of God
And He'll make you king
And He'll make you king

[Esmee]

Do not run from emptiness.

It is your life ridding itself from the mess it has collected.

Once you are empty, you can begin filling it up with the good you find.

[Loki]

There's an old topic just like this buried somewhere...and its quite big i think.

 

Anyway, what sort of topic like this ever goes without atleast one song or poem about suicide?

 

I tried to fall in it again
My friends took bets and disappeared
They mime their sighing violins
I think I'll wait another year

I want my chest pressed to your chest
My nervous systems interfere
Ten or eleven months have passed
I think I'll wait another year

This weather turns my tricks to rust
I am a lousy engineer
The winter makes things hard enough
I think I'll wait another year

Plus I'm only twenty-six years old
My grandma died at eighty-three
That's lots of time if I don't smoke
I think I'll wait another year

I'm not as callous as you think
I barely breath when you are near
It's not as bad when I don't drink
I think I'll wait another year

I have my new Bill Hicks CD
I have my friends and my career
I'm getting smaller by degrees
You said you'd help me disappear

But that could take forever
I think I'll wait another year
It'll be the best year ever
I think I'll wait another year
Can't we just wait together?
You bring the smokes, I'll bring the beer
I think I'll wait another year

What is love?

[TeddieWestside]

If I was a prophet...

 

If I was a saint...

 

If I was sent her, to bury your pain...

 

Would I be different, would I belong?

[JunBug]

Our embrace lasted too long.

We loved right down to the bone.   

I hear the bones grind, I see   

our two skeletons.

 

Now I am waiting

till you leave, till

the clatter of your shoes

is heard no more. Now, silence.

 

Tonight I am going to sleep alone   

on the bedclothes of purity.

Aloneness

is the first hygienic measure.   

Aloneness

will enlarge the walls of the room,   

I will open the window

and the large, frosty air will enter,   

healthy as tragedy.

Human thoughts will enter

and human concerns,

misfortune of others, saintliness of others.   

They will converse softly and sternly.

 

Do not come anymore.   

I am an animal   

very rarely.

[JunBug]

Smile

 

Like a bread without the spreadin'.
Like a mattress without beddin',
Like a cart without a hoss,
Like a door without a latchstring,
Like a dry an' barren creed bed-
Is the face without a smile.
Like a house without a dooryard,
Like a clock without a mainspring,
That will never tell the hour;
A thing that sort o' makes yo' feel
A hunger all the while-
Oh, the saddest sight that ever was
Is a face without a smile!
The face of man was built for smiles,
An' thereby he is blest
Above the critters of the field,
The birds an' all the rest;
He's just a little lower
Than the angels in the skies,
An' the reason is that he can smile;
Therein his glory lies!
So smile an' don't forget to smile,
An' smile, an' smile ag'in
'Twill help you all along the way,
An' cheer you mile by mile;
An' so, whatever is your lot,
Jes' smile, an' smile, an' smile.

I am not Emo
I’m not a Goth
I’m perfectly normal
But I know what it feels to be lost
Stuck in the crowd
Can’t hear a sound
Feels like I’m pushed back in the distance
Can’t come out
Do people see? 
Do they believe? 
Or am I just crazy from being lonely? 


The words burst from my lips as I scream
But the people around me don’t seem to hear a thing
Am I invisible? Am I going crazy? 
The world is acting like they don’t know about me
Am I forgotten? Am I just crazy? 
Am I just lost? Am I just lonely? 
Somebody hear me
Somebody save me

I check my phone, nobody calls
I can’t help, but feeling so forgot
I put on a show, nobody knows
Where did all the people I used to love, go? 
I see a face, forgot its name
But they don’t seem to recognize me, anyway
All of my friends are with somebody else
And now I’m sitting here all by myself
(All by myself) 

The words burst from my lips as I scream
(From my lips, as I scream) 
But the people around me don’t seem to hear a thing
(But the people, don’t hear a thing) 
Am I invisible? Am I going crazy? 
(Am I invisible? Am I going crazy?) 
The world is acting like they don’t know about me
(Acting like, don’t know about me) 
Am I forgotten? Am I going crazy? 
(Am I forgotten? Am I going crazy?) 
Am I just lost? Am I just lonely? 
(Am I just lost, maybe I’m lonely) 
Somebody hear me
(Somebody near me) 
Somebody save me
(Somebody save me) 
Or am I just crazy? 
Or am I just crazy? 
(Maybe, oh maybe) 

I took a chance, got sick of the burn
There’s no need of me, to feel so undeserved
People walk by, I try to say hi
But they even try to talk to me, why? 
Is it my face? Is it my name? 
Or am I just overreacting, and going insane? 
I know they see me, I know they see me
So why are they leaving? 
Why did they leave me? 

The words burst from my lips as I scream
(From my lips, as I scream) 
But the people around me don’t seem to hear a thing
(People around me, don’t hear a thing) 
Am I invisible? Am I going crazy? 
(Am I invisible? Am I going crazy?) 
The world is acting like they don’t know about me
(Acting like, don’t know about me) 
Am I forgotten? Am I going crazy? 
(Am I forgotten? Am I going crazy?) 
Am I just lost? Am I just lonely? 
(Am I? , maybe I’m lonely) 
Somebody hear me
(Somebody near me) 
Somebody save me
(Somebody please save me) 
Or am I just crazy? 
Or am I just crazy? 
(Maybe, oh just maybe) 


Live life they say, it’s the only you’ve got
But how can you live? How can you give? 
If there’s nothing you’ve got
Well I’ve got myself, and I’ve got my dreams
But I guess I’ll just have to live them separately
Stuck in the shadow, I need someone else
How can I get them to notice me, so I won’t be by myself? 
Do you hear? 
Do you see? 
Or am I just another nobody, who has nothing? (nothing) 

The words burst from my lips as I scream
(From my lips, as I scream) 
But the people around me don’t seem to hear a thing
(People around me, don’t hear a thing) 
Am I invisible? Am I going crazy? 
(Am I invisible? Am I going crazy?) 
The world is acting like they don’t know about me
(Acting like, they don’t know me) 
Am I forgotten? Am I going crazy? 
(Am I forgotten? Am I going crazy?) 
Am I just lost? Am I just lonely? 
(Am I just lost, maybe I’m lonely) 
Somebody hear me
(Somebody near me) 
Somebody save me
(Somebody save me) 
Or am I just crazy? 
Or am I just crazy? 
(Maybe, oh maybe just maybe) 

When I cry, I only cry to myself
I’m alone; I wish I had somebody else
Oh
When I cry, I only cry to myself
I’m alone; I wish I had somebody else
Oh
When I cry, I only cry to myself
I’m alone; I wish I had somebody else

The words burst from my lips as I scream
(From my lips, as I scream) 
But the people around me don’t seem to hear a thing
(People around me, don’t hear a thing) 
Am I invisible? Am I going crazy? 
(Am I invisible? Am I going crazy?) 
The world is acting like they don’t know about me
(Acting like, they don’t know me) 
Am I forgotten? Am I going crazy? 
(Am I forgotten? Am I going crazy?) 
Am I just lost? Am I just lonely? 
(Am I just lost, maybe I’m lonely) 
Somebody hear me
(Somebody near me) 
Somebody save me
(Somebody save me) 
Or am I just crazy? 
(Am I crazy?) 
Or am I just crazy? 
(Maybe, oh maybe) 
Just maybe


Maybe I’m crazy
(Save me) 
Maybe I’m crazy
(Don’t forget me) 
Maybe I’m crazy
(Don’t go baby no) 
Maybe I’m crazy
Just maybe
Maybe

Close your eyes

Let me tell you the reasons why
Think you're one of a kind
Here's to you
The one that I suppose is true
Do what you got to do
You're one of a kind
Thank god your mine

 

You're an angel dressed in armor
You're the fair in every fight
You're my life and my safe harbor
Where the sun sets every night
And if my love is blind
I don't want to see the light
It's your beauty that betrays you
Your smile gives you away
'Cause you're made of strength and mercy
And my soul is yours to save
And when this much is true
When my world was dark and blue
I know the only one who rescued me was you

 

Close your eyes
Let me tell you all the reasons why
You're never going to have to cry
Because you're one of a kind
Yeah here's to you
The one that always poses true
You always do what you got to do babe
Because you're one of a kind

 

When your luck was down in me
I know I'm finally free
So I tell you gratefully
Yes you'll be in my heart
Is yours to keep

 

Close your eyes
Let me tell you all the reasons why
You're never going to have to cry
Because you're one of a kind
Yeah here's to you
You're the one that always poses true
You always do what you got to do babe
Because you're one of a kind

 

You're the reason why I'm breathing
With a little look my way
You're the reason that I'm feeling
It's finally safe to stay
