regret

Without Pardon

10-2-11

Well I'm not waiting for an apology that sticks

For repentance of wrongdoing

Well I'll have rotted and my bones will crumble

But that word still wont fall from your lips

Seasons may pass but never realization

Our bodies deteriorating slowly

These hearts weary beyond years

So I just lick these wounds in silence

You continue on in self-righteous dignity

You won't bother asking and theres no intention

I won't be granting absolution

dirt

Folder: 
word crank

dirt and dust; and stains and rust
they say we’re so breakable
but we rarely break.
we just get dirtier.
covered in stains.

dirt and dust and stains and rust
our gears are strained from grime we’ve collected
heart songs run ragged
and love we’ve rejected
angered clashes,
now our edges are jagged
and cut others so that they bleed.

dirt and dust and butchered trust
smeared across our souls
we hide these spots, these god damnable spots
and bruises that simply wont fade.

blood and tears and true to life fears
if we’d break, we’d have to stop
and that’d be all the damage we’d done.

no we’re not breakable
we just can’t get clean

Shadows of Regret

Walking through life our shadows in step.
Sometimes they follow,
Sometimes they lead.
The regrets of our lives,
Our pasts, beside us.
Like a shadow, they follow.
And sometimes they lead.
The few, are fortunate beings.
Sometimes the light hits, just so.
There is no shadow at all.

Clever Name

Folder: 
Fails at writting

I wish you could see,
Why this can't be.
I struggled for years,
Then fell so easily.
Then its like it doesn't matter at all,
You watching me fall,
My feet hit the ground
My head hit the wall.
I recall the day when it all started to fade.
It doesn't "burn like an iron"
It cuts like a blade.
Now I am living a lie,
I really don't try.
But everytime he calls,
I want to break down and cry.
Because he has not trust in me,
No faith,
No sympathy.
It very hard to believe that I did what I did,
But I wish you could see,
I'm not some little kid.
I have thoughts,
I have dreams,
I'm more deep than you see me.
Usually I make right choices,
I just did something I didn't mean.
And if I could,
I would go back and change everything.
Right from the moment I learned that guy's name.
I would've said no,
I would've let him go.
That just goes to show,
I thought he had a second chance,
Turn his fall to a dance,
Well he ended up falling again and dragging me with him.

Clever is a state of mind.
Sometimes our head takes flight,
There's a fine line between wrong and right.
I'm breaking down inside.
Not knowing what to do next,
I take my fears in my hands and hold them close.
Not like I planned, but what can I do?
I am losing controll.

Clever thoughts,
A clever brain or is it crazy instead?
All I really need now is somewhere to hang my head.
The boy stole my heart,
Stole my name.
Next he put it to shame.
Now he's sitting there observing me suffer in pain.
Meanwhile he calls and asks if I'm ok,
Well what do you expect me to say?
I mean if you people haven't noticed,
I think I got played.

The boy stole my heart and my name.
Then put it to shame,
I'm losing controll.

Invincible

Folder: 
Deep in Depression

Believe it or not,
There's a place to stop,
After so much sorrow.
A point where you go completely numb.
Every once in a while,
The world comes by trying to knock me down again.
But I don't shread a tear,
For I have nothing to fear.
Nothing to lose,
Nothing to gain.
Some people wonder why and how I don't cry,
But I don't feel an ounce of pain.

Nothing even hurts anymore,
Because I have nothing left.
I lost everything that was worth suffering.
Now I'm starting again,
Maybe its for the best...
But you can't hurt me now,
Because I have nothing left.

I sat back in the "safe zone"
Playing it all wrong, leaving out all rest.
I got sedated,
I was over rated,
I turned down what was best.

Now I'm standing here
With frozen tears that won't roll down my face.
Sometimes I wonder why,
I even tried,
I wish I could leave this place.

The cards I played were a dangerous game,
Now I lost everything
And I'm to blame.
I had no principles,
Thought I was invincible,
Now I sit alone feeling nothing.

But you can't hurt me now,
Because I have nothing left,
You can't hurt me now...

I don't believe you're gone

I haven’t seen you in a long time
But I’d still recognize
Your sweet face,
Your happy smile,
And your laughing eyes

I haven’t seen you in a long time
But still your heart I’d know
Your heart -
your heart Amy,
the warmest I’ve ever known.

I haven’t seen you in a long time
But I’ll offer up a prayer
you should know
that I will keep forever
All the memories we share

I haven’t seen you in a long time,
But look, a photo you gave me when we were young!
You’re arm wrapped around my shoulder…
Now in my room,
The photo of us is hung.

I haven’t seen you in a long time,
But remember when I was new?
You showed me around, and showed me kindness
And I thought,
the nicest girl in the class is definitely, undeniably you

I haven’t seen you in a long time
- well, actually that’s a lie
I’m so, so very sorry,
I once saw you,
But didn’t say stop to say goodbye

I haven’t seen you in a long time,
But it’s still hard to accept
That death cannot be reversed
And for you, your friends and family
I have often wept

I haven’t seen you in a long time
There’s no way to explain the guilt I feel,
the emptiness, the absolute hole in my heart
that only you can fill
Amy, it’s going to take a long time to heal

I haven’t seen you in a long time,
But you’re messing with my head
I’m trying, really trying to accept
That the girl who was always full of life,
Is prematurely dead.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

To Amy
You really did light up a room when you came in. I wish we could have talked one last time.
Love Zoe

You should take your dirty words
Go tell them to someone else
Everything you say hurts
I'd rather be by myself

I will not stay with you
I will not wait for you
I am not your back up plan
I'll resist as much as I can
You'll just use me for yourself
Lies will no longer help
You no longer have my trust
Go ahead, cry if you must

You had us all fooled
Or maybe it was just me
Your words they overruled
Predictions that came to be
There are things I regret
There are mistakes I made
I wish I could forget
I wish I could erase
All this pain I've come to feel
All these scars that haven't healed.

I have shame.
I am to blame.
The time has come to pay.
The memory won't go away.

Disperse the pain
Nothing is left in these veins.
No stress and complete loneliness.
