The EdgeI hate you for no reason,
You love me for a lie,
Yet we can't seem to move forward,
Despite how hard we try.
Our relationship is too far gone,
Now our friendship's on the edge.
You say that doesn't matter,
There's no way we'll leave this ledge.
How can I rely on you?
How do I earn your trust?
How can we convince ourselves
That we're not the best for us?
Tattered, torn, and broken.
Fraying strings on your guitar.
So much less than we could be
But all we ever are.
A wish upon a lonely star,
A simple phrase, "good night."
No matter what we do, it seems
Everything is never right.
My thoughts are just a jumbled mess.

They never are, but your willingnessThey never are, but your willingness to discuss the price is a very generous perspective. Its to bad that the airlines, hotels, and commerce is not so flexible with their prices.
You have free staff to offer books etc..? Does that mean your staff doesn’t get paid, or that you are giving them away, the books that is..
Indeed some information is good, and some should be free, but it is the experience that leaves a lasting impression. The knowledge and pictures are always free for anyone that has an interest and the internet.
I’ll let this one ad slide, but again, this is a ad free zone

FossilizedLiving proof of fossils alive,
and no horseshoe-crab am I.
Nor, inhabitable harsh compression of plates,
residing under humid marsh-scapes.
I mold into the walls, as chalky old coal.
But I am no mineral, no era.
I am not, Mesozoic.
Through the ages
Iron
Bronze
silver, gold and heroic.
I remain a still-life; and no Iduna's apples would retain my youth
No magic fountains, or time devices, or wrist watches.
I am the machine of time.
The watcher, omnipotent, the wise.
But
no God am I

The ShadowIn the celestial night of June,
Which was gilded by the rays of moon
I stood by the window, inhaling air,
The fresh air of the night so fair
As my gaze has roamed the hill,
I sat myself on the window sill
The breeze of summer gave a chill
And my gaze has stood now still
On the grassfield a shadow I saw,
Swaying as the wind has blown
I pried my eyes but haven't seen
Who that shadow might have been
With an eyeblink, the shadow ceased
And my fear has then deceased
I turned around with intent to rest,
Before I felt a forceful wrest!
Then I faced the shadow seen,
How abhorring it has been!
Its scream echoed in my ear
As it held me perilously near
Its grip was strong, the omen ill,
As it brought me to the window sill
I screamed and shouted, fought and lost
Through the window I've been tossed!
As I waited for life's ending
And the death was now impending,
I hit the ground, but the pain was lacking,
Neither the skull nor bones were cracking
My eyes have opened, fear was present,

What I Seei look into the silver mirror,
and see the abysmal grey reflected back,
a shade i have grown all to accustomed to,
staring into my eyes i see no light there,
looking at my pale skin i see no life there,
looking at my blank expression i see past the mask,
i see how the tears run bitter down my face,
the color fades from my cheeks,
and the skin beneath my eyes grows dark,
all alone in this melancholy world,
no companion to comfort me save for my shadow,
who stands there silently mocking me,
i fear this mask has become part of me,
i turn the lights off and walk away,
i keep walking for that is my strength,
through the rain and the pain,

Daddy DearestBeing in your position while I grew,
I want to know, were you afraid, are you afraid,
When you held me as I cried tears so new?
You were there, but then you were gone, and in your leave I prayed
I wanted my Daddy there, a solid presence, not a specter fleeting, flickering out.
Daddy dearest, did I do some wrong?
You said you wanted to be a part of my life
Yet, when I see you, you’re nothing more than an empty face in a peopled throng.
I love you so, and always will, I’ll forget all the pain you caused, mental strife.
But where are you now?
All the months I try to open the lines of communication
Where did you go? Why have you u Daddy Dearest by ~Hawk-Moth

I'm living twice in one life
I'm feeling empty, a hole
I'm feeling sharp, like a knife
I'm growing fast, I'm too old
A deadly game that I'm in
there's no life within
I cannot die, I can't live
and here again I begin
The impossible
here it's possible!
I fight alone with my sword
I'm feeling down, so cold
I have the power, I hold
I'm here alone, not a word
I hear a voice, who is he?
There's no one looking for me
I don't believe what I see
I cannot feel, yet I'm free!
The impossible
here it's possible!
I'm lying down in daze
I feel asleep, but I'm awake

Mother in FaerunThere was a woman living in a land that couldn't be missed
I'd be remissed to admit that such a plight could even exist
but in this land, full of demons, monsters and sickness
I have to wonder how different our life is compared to all this
the woman was fragile, weak
clothes tattered
head down all meek
holding her sickly baby tightly
a kiss upon his cheek
the day, like all days, she's finding scraps to eat
she tells her boy not to cry, but it's she who weeps
weeping, weeping, "dry your tears mom, I'm sleeping"
"I know, child, I know, but these harsh winds is steady creeping,
streets of people peeing
other people beating
on each other

Let's Go (On A Journey)Let’s Go (On A Journey)
I had a wonderful time the other night, it was something to behold,
Where someone close to me, told me to get up and at ‘em,
So we could, “Get up and on a journey together, something we’ll remember till we’re old,”
“But I don’t know, I mean…..I barely know what’s happenin’!”
She smiles, grabs my hand and pulls me off of the couch,
“Don’t worry about it, let’s just go, we’ll be back later,”
“I’m not really feelin’ this idea, man; and I hate to sound like a grouch—“
“Stop! We’re going, so stop whining ‘cause I’m gonna make you feel better,”
I sigh and roll my eyes as we step out of my front door,
“C’mon man……..Where are we even going?”
“Let’s just say it has………..a shore,”

The Eldritch Song For The 'Witch'.Within dusty walls of the hoary abode,
The sonance of the eldritch ode.
Betwixt thorny vines and long-dead trees,
I feel that glacial November's breeze
Kissing my nape renders my body aquiver,
The stream of dark magic strong as a river.
Slight contempt, I haven't dreamt.
Little wanton witch that settled there.
Eradication is only way of salvation,
Soon we'll be free of despair.
Under the cloak of night I snuck into,
This sinister den of pleasures askew,
I saw plethora of herbs, unknown to me.
Bizarre books written in unheard-of signs,
You couldn't read even far beyond Dead Sea...
And so I went to her perverse chamber,

The Poem That Faith WroteWe sit, 344 miles separate,
on beds piled high with wrinkled clothes,
paper remnants, and books we know we should read
but still haven’t, and through the programming
of modern technology, Faith says
“I miss my friends
and my sanity. Or whatever I had
when I didn’t give a flying fuck about anything.”
We’ve been here before,
playing Ryan Adams songs,
but each time the sadness is crisp and sharp
like a new tattoo over the tender bones of your ribcage,
so I promise her we’re going on a roadtrip to Florida
in my ‘97 Civic with its sagging headliner
and worn-out clutch,
and that I’ll write it into my The Poem That Faith Wrote by ~oracle-of-nonsense

It's been six months.
Please tell me, am I in luck?
A while, since my ship had sunk.
All my fault, and now i'm fucked.

It's been a while.
Great blue sea, for many miles.
Trapped alone, on deserted isle.
Poseidon, with who I had trifled.
Dear,

It's been too long.
Uncharted beach, I don't belong.
Sailed you to sea, I did you wrong.
But kudos to you,
help has come along.
Dear,

Help! I plead!
In the sea, I bob and weave.
I swam I tried.
Torn away, in riptide.
Is anyone out there? Left alive?
To-and-fro, I waddle and bobble.

Outcast Until You
I was an outcast until the day I met you,
As soon as we first talked, I suddenly knew.
Those dreams I once had, so bold and naïve,
Were nothing compared to you, who I suddenly need.
I have struggles with saying everything that I feel,
Which is why I’m confused with what you think is my appeal.
You love me, I can tell by the way you treat me,
I love you, all of you, you stubborn boy don’t you see.
I often times seem to draw way back,
But the truth is that it scares me how little you lack.
I can’t seem to ever free my mind from memories of us,
Every time that we’ve laughed, every given shush.
So the sad thing is, I h Outcast Until You by *WildlyWickedArt
