you know,
they say oxygen
though vital to life
is ultimately its very destructor.

you see,
it burns us from the inside
out
we willingly take it in
let it slowly ravage our bodies
and seep its poison into our precious vessels
so when we leave this celestial orb
we're still left grasping
for one last breath.

so in a way,
i guess i could say i need you like i need oxygen.

i'm too tired
   to even think
i've burned all my memories of you
and i am now focusing on
       self-love.

War
The man has fallen
To the poor family who have lost a beloved.
The destruction that was caused
Leaves a scar on the country.
The struggle, pain and loss
All result to power, money and control.
May the heavens bless the fallen heros
Who no one shall forget.
And forgive the ones at fault
For I only pray that they are forgiven.

Sorry

Sorry for the things I have done,
The tears I have caused to fall
Stuff I have said wasn't meant at all.
All my regrets add up to one hundred and one.
This can't be put into words that are said,
So i put it in this poem instead.

A truth that gets hidden from life
Makes you wanna go back in time
A lie that's exposed makes em cry
Everyday right through the night
People spread it all over the world
The lie exposed becomes gossip
The truth be told is honest
But people stretch it
A bit too much is it?

Your lies you say are so old
The truth is the actual core within
The sugar coating makes it cold
When your lies are so paper thin
It makes my sight so blur
But at least it gets clearer
When those lies are so paper thin

Here we go again, waitin' for the end
To begin, it is taking so long
So why would you turn a lie and bend
It so it would seem fascinating?
But right back at you comes
Someone sad, broken hearted, all coz

The light is on, I'm all fired
The night is young, you're a liar
At least what you say won't be what you mean
Coz all you say, everyday, lies that are paper thin
We all pull faces, have new names, even wear braces
We are too ashamed, we are too scared to tie our laces

Coz all you say
Everyday, a lie new
To me and you
Yet all I want
Is for you to tell
The truth

Your lies hide who you are
Your lies act as your facade
Your lies bamboozle all of us
Your lies cross-question your aquaitances

**coz your lies are paper thin
Its transparent
Good for all to see
How you've lied to me
Yet now you'll have to clean
At least you'll have to begin
AGAIN
This is to all those who have lied just to hurt me and punish me. At least in the end I know who all my real friends are. ***** you people who lied to me!!

Oh my goodness gracious me oh!**

Oh, can't you see it
That new, New boyfriend
Oh no, DID you hear that
Their fairytale had ended

People talk and talk and talk
They say things they don't know about
I try to hide all the lies
But they bring it up
Every single time

Hey boy, are you blind
Can you not realise
This treasure you've found

Hey boy, could you wait for me
After school, coz I need to talk
To you
To you

Mouth to ear
It's all over here
.I'm shocked bamboozled
Never know you'd do it

Listen to all the storylines
They differ from each person

Did you hear the news
They went outta town

They had to get outta here
Away from all this
Articles and stones
MAY break my bones
But you will never
Hurry me with your lies

It's time to bury the skeletons
Of my old past
Lock the door
Throw the key away
I don't want you near me

Yeah, all this happens coz
People talk and talk and talk...
Firstly this poem is dedicated to all the gospels and pumped and snitches of the world, as I carry on I speak of hope these hipsters start to turn innocent truths into hurtful rumours and then I speak of how a girl would want to impress this boy she's been liking for a long time, but the rumours begin to ruin the relationship.just to clear their heads they leave for a while to get a rest and think things through.when they come to a decision they decide to end up just as friends realising that a relationship would just complicate things, and I the end, her crush, longterm crush, just got friend zoned...epic sadness

I want to write a poem
that brings the girl
with the stone eyes
to tears
that will melt away
her barrier of misery
like a butter mint
in the mouth

I want to write a poem
that gives the man with
permanent frown lines
and worn leather skin
a sparkle in his eye
and fulfillment in his breath

I want to write a poem
that makes the heartbeat
a little bit louder
or softer
or stronger
or momentarily
skip

I want to write a poem
that allures people into
staying up until 4 am
searching for others alike
that will give them
the same kind of clarity
in this very cloudy world
