Break

It's a sharp crack in the air
The grain splits down the middle
A thin line that resembles ruptured cement during an earthquake emerging
A violent tremble pierces the air
If I had the strength to make it through another day,
Maybe I would.
But today I'm too weak to even cry.
Trust me, I've tried.
If I had the hope that life might improve,
Maybe I'd pray.
Searching for a way to see.
Reaching out for some kind of mercy.
Kneeling before God, I plead,
Please awaken me from this dream.
Searching for something about which to dream.
As your birthday approaches,
The tears get harder to hold back,
As I look back on my motives,
Remembering when my heart was in tact.
That day that I broke your heart,
I also destroyed mine,
I’m hoping after sunrise
you’ll come back and say you’ve realized
that the tethered string around your heart is unraveling
I know it’s late and early too
but 3am is when I think of you
and oh I feel a lot about the way I fell and fell for you
it seems as if the world around me
Clouds, the molecules within them
like crystal beads of regret.
They left one another alone for too long
and they cried themselves into a snowstorm.
What have I done?
He is restless without my touch.
He needs constant reassurance.
Is there no faith that I can give him?
I have done no wrong.
No reason t thing of another.
Stress eats me whole.
If only life was as easy to handle as a pile of laundry.
It builds up and up, but a quick load or two will shrink it back down.
And then all that is left is the warm smell of lavender soap and an empty basket.
A quarter of years I know you,
From day one you showed me your love is true.
You swore that you’ll bring me stars
I believed you and til now you didn’t cause me scar
Oh the sight of the summer breeze,
I wish to only be with the sea.
The sea breaks upon the rocks, like my heart when he talks.
All I wish is to be seen, by the the man who is my dream.
hola pequeño árbolcito.
si caigo sobre ti, será crítico,
si te doblo seguramente romperás,
Pero debes leer en tu díptico
si lo sobrevives un poco más,
crecerás un poco más fuerte,
Empty words on empty screens,
A silent generation screams
Behind the masks of pleasant faces,
Witty pictures, clever phrases,
We break, we cry,
We sob, we fight,
And segregated, rot and die,
Today, you were with me.
You laughed when I laughed,
we thought alike so often.
Yet you seemed different,
sad about, something.
I wanted to ask you, but we're still being repaired.
What's that I hear
The finals has came to a halt
No more studying
A rest for my utter taught
A time for peace and thinking
A break from it all
A time for fun and cooking
Be able to consider
"Small dreams fade fast
But that's okay
'Cause it was never meant
To go that way
Even those who smile
Got one foot in the grave
But you couldn't see
That the happiness was fake
But still
She, falling in love before
and he, to depart without
a bye so good
darkened Her heart from red
to gray and further to black
it was as if death
I stared fear in the eyes and asked it how was its day our staring match, lastedfor about five minutes and I refused to look away I am bigger I am not afraid I said, as I trembled in my legs
Skin can break
bones can shatter
but words will forever ffill the air.
Unbreakable
filled with power.
They win wars
and stop hate.
They can be used for greatness.
People often realize
they can endure more
than they thought they could
when enduring becomes the only option.
But sometimes-
when people can't endure-
they break.
break a little,
A narrow mind needs not to dream
And I want a dreamer to dream with me.
So, before we part, it's this you must know:
You were a fanciful one, as far as dreams go.
I gave up a lot
To pursue this love
But now it seems
That I was blind and dumb
I dedicated my life
My entire childhood
To pursue a dream
No one sees and no one can find
What I hide beneath this facade of mine
Constantly wanting for what cannot be
Constantly wishing for a better school,
A better life,
And better friends
The heart beats like a thousand drums
When in the face of inquiry to another
A yearning soul heard over melodious hums
Life is unfair
The adults all preach it
But it takes so long for you to believe it
You ride the waves
Until the board breaks
In that moment, the warm breeze floated across my face.
The tears were trying not to come.
Your eyes gleam of realization when my words flowed out.
The stars shown as we were close.
I hit you up on the phone.
For once you're alone.
Invite you to the parade,
despite our world being gray.
Have you wrapped around my finger,
except I don't.
A whispering breeze rolls through
a quiet neighbourhood.
A chord giggles from the rooftops
of a busy downtown.
All is gone...
All is vacant...
With nothing but a Blank canvas
left to paint.
Rules.
Are meant to be broken.
Promises.
Are meant to be kept.
Secrets.
Are meant to be told.
Friendships.
Are meant for you to hold.
Relationships.
Aren't always perfect.
When the voice of a distant cry
Wriggles under the paper prison you began
I start to grow into another skin
Yet, as soon as you turn your head towards me
The world slowly grows dead
Catch your breathe
Release your break
Causeless scars
Relentless fate.
How to spread your wings
when bogged down with living
Not a living you prefer
But one that is chained
Beating within a hollow shell,it's pulse sends me racing.
There's life still living in a tattered soul,no death will I be facing.
The fire is lit, I feel its warmth,I walk a thin line; pacing.
It’s summertime and everyone’s free
Taking life easy and drinking sweet tea
Hearts being broken yeah it’s the season
Girls dropping boys for no apparent reason
Boys leaving girls
You look at me with eyes that
Don't know the truth
You look at me with eyes that
Will not acknowledge the truth
Because the truth is,
I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you and,
She'll always know
A flick of the wrist
An expression of surprise
Nods, and eye contact
Baldness and balding
Business dress
Causal
Ties and dress shirts,
Attention to detail
Plead pants and shined shoes
You’re distant, a behavior I wouldn’t usually accept
The thought of you has consumed my mind
Confusion arises, I have yet to truly witness your emotions
Please don’t leave me dangling, only to fall
I left thee
in the waters
of my cold
and crashing words
they descended on you-
dark and foaming-
as the world’s most bitter storm
how dare you say good-bye!
how dare you leave me to rot!
My sorrow
Like a tidal wave of pain,
Pounding me so hard
Its difficult to stay sane.
The tumbling chaos of my soul,
Burst up and fill my eyes
And for a moment all i can see is darkness.
