Invisibletake a deep breathe and count to ten .

what just happened ... will never happen again .

your hands start to tremble; the sink is cold .

you tell yourself you are strong; you are bold .

don't look in the mirror and stare .

this isn't right ... this isn't fair .

don't think about it too much, or you'll go insane .

tears and blood make their way down the drain .

what just happened ... to me ?

why do you feel so gross and dirty ?

feeling so worthless and wasted .

so unloved , abandoned, and tasted .

having given them everything, every part .

why did they turn, and break your heart ?

The EscapistIt is really insomnia
If you're keeping me awake?
Is it the infatuation
That made me start to shake?
Is it so peculiar
If you make me feel brand new?
Is it some kind of obsession
That I have with you?

I watch you when I feel lonely
Is that so wrong?
I think of you when they hurt me
So what if that's all day long?
You make me feel so happy
What if that's all I have?
Should that be taken away
Just because it sounds mad?

Because right now in real life
There's no happily ever after
When I see something I don't like
I can't just skip the chapter
Or quickly press fast forward
On a TV remote control
Real life is but a wound
And you help fill the h

Lucifer and VisitorThe Devil mourned his homeland lost

Upon a stone in exile deep

Beneath the great Earth’s hardened crust

Where fires rage inside the sea

Much too far for father sky

To see the rock where The Devil lie

As he lamented, sullen, weary

Expression that of sorrow true

A Thing appeared, and very clearly

Cracked the gates of Lucifer’s tomb

The grin that danced upon his face

Found hell to be the quaintest place

The thing approached and asked him kindly,

“Why do you mourn your banishment?

All the land above I do see

But I’ve never seen an armament

So well hidden from my mighty eyes

Which see all things as they liv

SanctuarySanctuary
I don't know you enough
To even know your last name
But I do know that you've had it rough
As I have felt the same
But you've suffered more in your distress
Making my past sorrows
Seem nothing more than a jest
Knowing atonement heralds tomorrow
Even so, I know the pain
And the committal to aid
In my heart has lain
Of course, if you desire it made
My heart, I swear, broke
When I heard of your troubled emotions
And the stress driving you to provoke
And this stayed in my notion
Maybe I could give comfort
Make the past easier to overlook
Together, rid of our contorts
And be each other's retreating nooks.

AnimalsWe’re animals, we’re beasts who prey
Upon the weak who fear our stay
Its natural to feast and slay
Their hearts bleed in our jowls

We all wear masks and masquerade
As decent creatures, folks who pray
But deep inside, our demons play
Beneath cowardice cowls

The others claim to know the way
Those neutered, tamed, trained to obey
Condemning us for what we say
Look down at us with scowls

They lock our voices in a cage
Restrictions bind, we’re blind with rage
Liberate yourselves, you slaves
Let free your hungry howls

To the vermin calling me scoundrel
I will not heel, I will not bow
You’ll hear the hatred in my growl

Hard love runs down the drain

My Lonely LoveWipe off your tears
and hold your head high
get rid of your fears
and heave your biggest sigh
Oh, my lonely love

Alone in a crowded room
Feeling so scared
The shadow of isolation looms
and it feels like they don't care
My lonely love

Remembering the times
when it was just us
Sorrow, with its sweetest rhymes
think of it as you must
My lonely love

Crying alone at night
wondering what you did
hearing them fight
when you were only a kid
my lonely love

Told that you were ugly
that you were not good enough
they will just never see
That they weren't all that tough
my lonely love

When it feels as though your soul is gone
And your heart is broken

GenderGender was complicated
for me at least.

Unlike the others
it wasn't so black
or white
more like
a very large scale
filled with shades
of confusion.

Male?
Not exactly.

Female?
Not quite.

I wanted the
broad shoulders
that men obtained
by nature. I ached
for the clavicles
that showed whether
you were average
or thin.
I desired the chiseled jaw,
the strong arms
that could make
any girl feel
safe,
the deep voice that
could make her
swoon with
the right words.

However,
I longed for
the graceful walk
that females could master
so naturally.
The soft voice
that could make any man
question his feelings.
I needed the long fingers
that woul

Notes and LettersI wrote a note the other day,
And with it shared my feelings.
I've tried to have it other ways,
But they seem to be congealing.

I loved the stars when I was young;
The first word of mine was "light".
Of happy thoughts, I once had none,
But now the world's more bright.

I feel too much frustration,
I need to be more calm.
I drown in hesitation,
Too scared to sing my song.

I never was the kind of child
I wish I could have been.
At times I've been more meek and mild,
But later I learned to sin.

I wonder, sometimes, whose life I'm living,
Whose soul endows this frame.
I blunder, sometimes, when what they give me
Doesn't match my name.

For tho

Whence To WhereYou surprise me and confuse me,
And make me love you more.
The brightness may undo me,
The darkness I adore.

There's so much grey,
And so much pain
That brings rejuvenation.
I fall and sink,
But then I blink
Before illumination.

Whence to where is what I asked,
But much is coming clear.
My sadness fading here at last,
And with it all my fears.

You've brought me out,
How can I count
The times you've soothed my soul?
From where I was,
You may become
The star that leads me home.

Light and dark will mold and mix
Till grey is what I see.
A calming sight that seems to fix
What once was wrong with me.

The LiarWhen I found out the truth
The filthy thing under the bed
I screamed and howled
And learned to hate;

For the truth was biting
Bitter and cold
Like a burning hailstorm
That I wished had never unfold

I kept a secret
Told a lie
I spoke words of hatred
Felt something wilt and die

The world was faux
An unattainable fantasy
Hopes were fed to monsters
In my blood that cried blasphemy

I don't think you knew
Because you'd hate me if you did
To know our common blood was false
Of me, you'd surely rid

So I cut you off first
Then you'd never have the chance
To look under the bed
And pierce me through with a lance

I destroyed you first
So I'd not be

Last Day, Last LightDarkness surrounds
Black of darkest night
Not a sound
Last day, last light

A flame flickering to life
Hovering at the cigerette’s end
Only in my head is there strife
Left with my thoughts to fend

Slow drag to kill the pain
What’s there left to do?
The sky dark with storm’s rain
Our society so skewed

We can only realize this
The true power of hatred’s bite
Ignorance is truly bliss
Last day, last light

I hear them draw close
The demons in heart and head
Every weakness, they know
Across a meek world they spread

From the wound red emerges
My time is short, I have no fight
Pulses of pain surges
Last day, last light

anymore feelings to give--
for that, I'm sorry.

In tribute to a friendFORGET

To forget a promise made
To forget a heart in pain
To forget a friendship's fade
To forget attempts in vain

To forget the start
To forget the bloody end
To forget what breaks a heart
To forget about about a friend

To forget what you had
To forget what you lost
To forget why she's mad
To forget cruelty's cost

To forget a monster's sins
To forget an artist's layers
To forget the bloody skins
To forget silenced prayers

To forget a line of lies
To forget what most would hide
To forget a horrid cry
To forget who's heart will bide

Please forget
Forget to have known
Forget to have been shown
Forget everything,
You are not alone

13. MisfortuneYou took the vow,
You said you would.
By all accounts,
Your word was good.
You loved me,
That much was clear.
And I loved you.
You know that, dear.
So please explain,
Why did you leave?
So much pain,
With no reprieve.
Did our love end?
Not on my side.
Was it pretend?
Or has it died?
Alli know, I'm
A single mom
With two young kids.
I miss you, Tom.

Moon's Curse 2 - Chapter 18: My Raven

Damien's P.O.V.

Just look at me now… broken, drunk, barely conscious and aware of my surroundings. The only thing I was aware of was that I was thrown out of a bar and tossed into a dark, dirty alley way. As I sat in the dark I took a last gulp of my drink I began to reminisce about her, my dear Raven.

I can perfectly remember that night, but almost nothing before. What drew me to her? Why did I save her? I still don't know but I'm glad I did. I remember that night so clearly, when I rescued her from that killer. At first, she stared at me, frighten she was. At first she questioned me hesitantly. Who am I? What am I? I remembered I did

Moon's Curse 2 - Chapter 17: Misguided Views

Koumori's P.O.V.

"Jinx, I need you to apply pressure on his wound," said the young human urgently. Suddenly the full-fledge demon girl, named Jinx, came by my side and pressed a rag against my wound. I was a bit conscious and aware of my surroundings. "Jinx, keep pressing on his wound, I'm going to go get some supplies," said the human hurriedly as she left. I stared weakly at Jinx, something puzzled me about her. She is a full-fledged demon, they're supposed to be sadistic, evil beings incapable of showing compassion for others, yet, she implored to her friends to help me even though just a few days ago we were enemies.

"Why are you so nic

Moon's Curse 2 - Chapter 16: Take a Chance

Third Person P.O.V.

Kane was finally been able to escape the underworld and make it to the human realm. Koumori began to gain consciousness and opened his eyes.

"Ugh! Kane? Where are we?" questioned Koumori, still in a daze.

"We're in the human world," answered Kane still keeping up his pace.

"The human world?! But – Raven… we have to go back!" argued Koumori.

"You've lost a lot of blood! I need to get you help, Koumori! We'll go back for her when you're well!" explains Kane. Koumori couldn't argue with Kane, he merely sighed.

"Alright, but please hurry," whispered Koumori.

Kane quickly rushed to probably the only people that

Moon's Curse 2 - Chapter 15: Retaliation

Third Person P.O.V.

Akaotome and her remaining subordinates retreated back to their hideout to regroup. Kira and Rantou treated themselves from the gruesome injuries left by Kane's massive strength. While they tended to their wounds, Akaotome plotted a way to save her plan from falling apart.

Two of her subordinates have escaped with two key components: Raven and the spell book. By now, both Koumori and Kane probably have caught up with Raven and escaped the underworld…

"Kira!" called out Akaotome. Kira finishes up bandaging his wounds and joins her.

"Yes, what is it?" questions Kira.

"I need you to sneak through the border and esca

Focused Around You

by ~Shiore-Hikaru, Feb 26, 2012, 12:28:10 AM
Literature / Poetry / Emotional / Traditional Fixed Forms

Planted the seeds of my infatuation in dead soil
These feelings taking root and beginning to coil
Around my heart choking with its thorny hold
Leaving me hollow my blood turning cold

What a foolish and selfish wish that I truly desire
For you to mend my broken heart and lift my spirit higher
Maybe I thought you'd be the one to save me from myself
What a silly thought right, it's my fault I make my own hell

What was it about you that I fell for anyway?
Was it a physical lust or your personality so fey?
Honestly you seemed to care the most whether I was alive or dead
But in reality I mistook your kindness; it was all in my head

I know in my mind that it would never happen, me and you
But my heart seems to be deaf; it doesn't want to listen to
The harsh reality and the fact that you are just my friend
And nothing more, to me it seems my heart will never mend

I seem to dwell on this matter but I can't help it
These words are for you and they don't seem to quit
No matter how hard I try to write something new
I end up focusing everything around you

For the very sight of you secretly pains me
Of having false fantasies plague my dreams nightly
But I've seen what harm I've done, how broken you are inside
So I'll continue as your friend and try to put my own pain aside

Not sure honestly what to say. I keep telling myself not to do this anymore but a part of me must be deaf or at least hard of hearing. Why do I seem to dwell and continue in my self pity I'll never know. I thought I had closure, I guess I'm not strong enough to move on. It's ridiculous... Sadness fuels these words, nurturing it to grow into a rose that just continues to stab my heart with its thorns. Why do I do this to myself? Don't mind the lengthy description I'm just rambling with my inner thoughts.

~Roguelioness9 Mar 1, 2012 Student Writer

I understand completely, and I definately identify with this, because I'm in love with my best friend, who doesn't love me back, and never will, yet I can't leave it all be. This poem is great, I love it, it says everything perfectly.

~Shiore-Hikaru Mar 1, 2012 Student Writer

Thank you for the comment I appreciate that others can empathize with what I'm going through. It's a bit comforting, thank you. I hope things work out for you.

~EmperorHadrian Feb 28, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Wow. This describes everything just perfectly, or so I see it as that. This is very powerful and rich with emotion. I think this one really lays your heart out, not all of it definitely, but it certainly lets the reader see the sort of "plague" which pains you. You're doing this for a reason, we just don't seem to know why! Anyway, I think this one is marvelous.

~Shiore-Hikaru Feb 28, 2012 Student Writer

thank you for the compliment I appreciate it ^^
Sometimes I dont know my own reason for writing these poems I just do.

~EmperorHadrian Feb 29, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

You're welcome! Well, I'm sure the oracle didn't know her reasons for the prophecies she told if she truly was in touch with Apollo or Dionysus. Nevertheless, they had such a profound effect upon those who heard them.

~Shiore-Hikaru Feb 29, 2012 Student Writer

you're too kind i'm not worth such praise but thanx ^^

~EmperorHadrian Feb 29, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Of course you are worth such praise! You are, as my close friend Florian would say, a brilliantasmic person.

~Shiore-Hikaru Feb 29, 2012 Student Writer

Well thank you for your kind words >0<!

~EmperorHadrian Mar 1, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

You're welcome!

~niraj-gupta Feb 26, 2012

nice couplets you have going here. sometimes i know and most the time i dont even realize when i m focusing on one person always.. lol.. and i to tend to wallow in self pity. and most problems we ever have are brought onto ourselves. "... save me from myself"
well said friend.

as a response of self pity could you take a look at one of my recent poems.. its called "slowly or quickly"
but only if you feel like it
