Fabulous gifts wrapped in fancy paper
That of which, they say, is not for the leper
Especially goodies made in copper
They're for the rich and everyone they call 'proper'
Candy canes and christmas trees
Are all there is to see inside homes safe from the breeze
But they're not for the beggars that are left to freeze
Outside the streets in clothes full of grease
Worry not, it's not Christmas that way
Envy them not, and pray the night away
Christmas is not for glamour as they say
It's for the people who're content and pray
The ones with no supper, but never hungry
The ones with no clothes, but never cold
The ones with no riches, bu
I wish to see ourselves outlasting every sweet couple out there thinking that they'll have forever, but they won't. 'Cause forever's only for those who see the truth. And the truth isn't seen by the eyes of those who love. 'Cause they only see what they want to see and not what their eyes can see.

I remember telling you that relationships only last because of compromise, but you said no, saying that we would last with having only love and nothing else. I didn't believe in that theory of yours until the end, 'cause those kinds of things only happen in fairy tales; and we're not in one.
It was a good thing though, 'cause you also sai
This isn't a poem
This is merely a thought
Cut in lines
Do not mistake
Something for something else
I am no poet, god no
I'm just some girl
Scribbling on paper
The evils that her mind
Speaks of at night
It keeps me awake
As if they need me for sex
This is not a poem
I am not a poet
Writing thoughts cut
In l i n e s doesn't make
You a p o e t
As bright as the sunshine our hopes are
A day filled with peace passed without much notice
So let's embrace every passing hour
For we rapidly bloom like the flowers in springtime
Summer twilights signal adventures
As we venture innocently into the dark
We stumble and fumble towards things that injures
Ignorant of the fire that's to start in a spark
It's trifling how consequences arrive so fast
For we now fall like the brown leaves of Fall
Dried and decayed, we are withered due to our past
We are burned for responding to the flame's call
We shiver relentlessly for the coldness of snow envelops us
Our ashes left asunder in the free
I want to smoke, to waste my life away.
I want to drink, to drown myself in alcohol and go out of control.
I want to get high, to feel free for once.
I want to have sex, to feel desired and used.
But these things aren't for us to do, or so they say.
They believe that the wasted and worthless are the only ones who do this.
Outlaws as they call them. The dirty people who know no good.
One small move from a tender lamb makes it an outlaw, and then excluded from the flock.
Fitting one's self to another's standards is worse than having AIDS my dear.
So I'd rather be that girl instead of your barbie doll.

OfBrokenHearts + WiltedDreams
I lay motionless with no notion to stir
As I watch you leave your trace silently on my chest
My will to evade has left me, leaving me only fear
Fear of losing you, one of the things I had best
I am left with tears to mourn for this scar
As I listen to your footsteps towards the door
It struck me then that this wasn't really meant to go far
It was only a fantasy, a mere delusion of a girl in love of whom Fate caught in a lure
My heart was broken by the same boy twice
Of how I let him be, I have not a clue
They say love is always incorporated with lies
But what that meant, left me in woe
Struggling in the darkness just to see the li
"Do you know why she's dying?"
"Do you?"
"Because I broke her heart. God, I feel so fucking bad about that."
"No she's stronger than most I know. She's dying because you told her to."
"What? No, that doesn't even make sense."
"Think about it. She would do anything, for you."

You were nineteen and fell for the girl with the ballet toes and unreliable heart. You were a robot, programed to say her name every time you were asked a question. And when you urged your feelings to a breaking point, you found her standing outside your door with an i-love-you note and a field of asymmetrical freckles. That was all you needed to get down on one
