Goodbye for now, Goodbye for laterThe Goodbye for now hurts me
And it is for your pleasure alone you see
For you are the only one who gains
And your heart he'll "Forever" Keep

But little did you know my dear
that you weren't the only one
Now your sitting there all alone
while they are together on the run

The Goodbye for later hurts us both
For as you try to come to me
I am forced to pull up the courage
To tell you its just not to be

Because if you were willing to leave me
for someone who you barely knew
then i know that you would do it again
And then i can no longer blame you.

So cry on my shoulder if you need to
I never said we couldn't be friends
but as far as love is

Where have you gone?You promised to have my back
When everything went to hell
You promised to stand beside me
And catch me before I fell

But where are you now?
Where are you now?

You said you would be my friend
And that I would never be alone
You said You would always be there
And make my broken house a home

But where are you now?
Where are you now?

You told me just trust and believe
And I swear on my life that I had
You told me you'd make everything okay
So I trusted that things wouldn't go bad

But where are you now?
Where are you now?

So Now I sit and fight this alone
I have no use for you anymore
I will find another to make my house a home
Someone who w

An ode to a certain beautyThere's a certain beauty
That has captured my eye
Her friendship would behoove me
I can not pass her by

She may not be pencil thin
but to me, that is okay
She won't be taken by the wind
So her body I will not trade.

She may not be Americas top model
but there's no doubt that she is fine
The space between our eyes like tunnels
Their beauty traveling into my mind.

She may not be the next Einstein
But she is smart enough for me
She says the right thing at the right time
And puts my heart at ease

She may not be perfect to others
but everyone makes mistakes
The only real crime she has ever mustered
Was the taking of my heart today

She may n

I wish my eyes were a mirrorI wish my eyes were a mirror
so you can see you as i see
your heart was crushed by an image
built by a cruel society

I wish my eyes were a mirror
So that i may help you to believe
that what they say is lies
and show you how you are to me

I wish my Heart could speak clearer
to help you understand
that you are the only person
that can fill my empty hands

I wish i could be your savior
Wipe away your fresh tears
i would gently say i love you
as i hold you through the years

And i wish my soul was a healer
to undo all of the pain
Make all their hostile efforts
finally end in vain

But to you im just a stranger
or "Just friends a

Shed a tear for the Marine

Shed a tear for the Marine
for he is not allowed to cry
He's as tough as he can be
And they're never allowed to hide

Shed a tear for the Marine
for when the world is calling
They are the first ones to the field
To fight for those that have fallen

I shed a tear for my Marine
For he means the world to me
And I feel safer now at night
Knowing he's watching over me

Shed a tear for the Marine
For time doesn't fly by
Three long months in Paris Island
And he's a Marine until he dies

So Shed a tear for the Marine
For he is not allowed to cry
He is more than just a soldier
He is a friend to all mankind

ReunitedIt's been too long
Since I held your hand
Since I've seen your face
Since I was your man

It's been so hard
Without seeing your face
Without hearing your voice
Feeling your warm embrace

It's been so sad
Without seeing your smile
That brightened my day
Made me feel like a child

It feels so good
To have you back again
To have your hands in mine
To feel like we're back then

It feels like heaven
Now that you're by my side
Now that you're in my arms
Now that you're in my life

It feels Like perfection
Since we are together
I can't tell if it's real
but I hope it's forever.

#Another-Poetry-Group 's Challenge: Accepted!How exactly do you make me feel?
All of my mental wounds you healed.
Miles away, you may be
But you feel so close to me still.

I get butterflies when we speak
I’ll be even worse when we meet.
You make my heart skip several beats
Yet I’m falling for you like I tripped on the street.

And though I feel as if you deserve better
Ill be here for you and defend you whenever
Because if you agree we can find love together
And if you choose not we can stay best friends forever.

The River bankWhen I'm down I like to tell myself
Everything will be okay
But when it just becomes a lie to myself
I take a walk down to the river bank

When I'm there I just watch the water flow
and feel envy for it's simplicity
Why does it get to lie around all day
Whilst life comes and tortures me

Then I think to myself everything has it's place
And every dog will truly have it's day
I may not be able to bite back right now
but i must build up the courage to stay

Stand strong in the face of pure aggravation
Stand strong when I am feeling weak
Stand strong because the very river that i had envied
Continues to push itself to reach it's peak

So I walk a

The one who loved you the most (Goodbye)I suppose that i played all my cards
And still it has ended like this
but somehow im able to smile
even though you chose to be his

Do you remember not to long ago
We hung out all day at the park
you told me to "never stop writing"
and one day id be loved for my art

Well this is my last one to you
Anymore would fail to reach your ears
And it hurts to have to say goodbye
After all of our prosperous years

But I suppose that love really changes us
Hell, you changed me more everyday
You shown me what it's like to have a purpose
and to not be the one cast astray

But through all this I still find a smile
Because i know now that this is your choi

To fight a losing battleYou've been acting funny lately
Is everything alright?
Don't you tell me that it's nothing
I see you toss n turn all night

You know I would give you anything
I'd bleed to make you smile
But if you're busy pointing fingers
I'll refuse to stand on trial

I'll walk away from everything
If you tell me that it makes it all better
I was here when life went to hell
And I stayed faithful through all weather

You're Killing me (Killing me)
You're Killing me

You ask me why I still fight
I don't know the answer
I'm trying to believe that We'll change

You tell me that I'm uptight
But you're not any better
No matter what I'm always to blame

So perfect

To Abandon a broken HeartYou treat me like a monster
Left me all alone
The Phantom in your picture
Just searching for a home

You tell me that I'm nothing
Not so hard to believe
You told me that you love me
But that I can not see

I let my perfect guard down
Some how I let you in
I didn't mean to bug you
I just wanted a friend

Now You and everyone else
Will be driven away
I'll just remain by myself
I'll never be okay...

..Goodbye

Send me awaySend me away
To a place not tracked my miles
I know you don't want me to stay
So maybe now you can finally smile

Send me away
Like everyone else has before you
I'll find a new place to lay
For what else is a broken man to do

Send me away
Yet again I will play as the fool
Tear up my heart just to play
Then toss me like a useless tool

Send me away
What more can you want from me
Your leaving my heart to decay
So just let go and leave me be

Send me away
Away so I can go back to being alone
Go back to being cast astray
And go back to a world without a home.

Trust issuesFor a moment your here
And the next your gone
Pleasant things that I feel
Never last that long

I don't know who to trust
Everyone disappears
Then I'll be all alone
Which is something I feared

But then you tell me your different
Won't treat me like the rest
but when I'm at my limits
Your loyalty failed the test

I'm not a devilish person
I always tried to be kind
But when the world runs on love
I guess I'll get left behind

Into the wild. (Part Two)Face to face
With cold blooded killers
And a Good mile
From some warmth and shelter

I Felt them close in
and I thought of it as the end
But I came so far
Too far to end up dead,

I sprint past the wolves
they dash right behind me
I can hear them getting closer
But there's something they failed to see

We were running on snow
I think covers a frozen lake
And the ice started to crack
With every step we'd make

Almost across
Sweat flowing down my face
They are howling loudly
motivating me to keep pace

Suddenly it cracks
The howling turning to cries
I leap and dive
Barely making it to the other side

I look back
and feel sorry for the beast
Bu

A Father's FarewellShh honey, don't cry
It's gonna be okay
Daddy's going away for awhile
But he'll be back to stay

No my little angel
You can't come this time
But I won't be gone long
Just something I have to find

Take care of your mother darlin'
She just doesn't understand
But watch the window in December
I'll be home as soon as i can

Take this, My necklace
A piece of me you won't forget
Wear it to help you sleep at night
When life fills you with fret

Now go, my dear child
Tell your mother I have gone
I won't be back tomorrow
But I won't be gone for long

Chapter 3: Into the badlands. Chapter 3: Into the badlands

We had escaped death for the most part, and it did not seem that they were following us. As we walked the landscape became more and more noticeably different. The vast amounts of snow that we walked on began to disappear. The cold air started to warm up, making me feel more comfortable. The trees began to come more alive, with full bushes of green atop them. Axel, who has never been this far away from his town, is in awe by the drastic changes made in nature. Frost, pauses for a moment to shake the melting snow off of his fur, and then jogs to catch up with us. A few miles along this forest we start hea

Chapter 2: Assault on the town.We rushed outside to the sound of men yelling and explosions going off. I expected to see guns similar to the ones I saw the guards had earlier. To my surprise I saw the militia gathering with swords, maces, bows and arrows, bats with knives at the end, harpoons, etc. “This is the kind of firepower we have to work with Axel?” I asked, staring blankly at the troops. “After the nuclear warfare of 2025, the empire snatched up most of the useful weaponry…” He quickly tapped my shoulder and moved towards the main gate, me and Frost following close behind and his guards tactically moving beside him. “Our militia

ProloguePrologue

In the year 2015, a terrorist organization called the Empire first makes itself known by doing a few small bombings all over the world. The leader of this organization secretly comes into power as the president of Russia. Within the next few years, several other countries unknowingly elect Empire leaders into power. By 2017, Russia, Japan, Brazil, France, Mexico, Germany, and Italy are all under Empire control. In the year 2019 the Empire begins its bloody crusade and begins invading countries. By October of the same year, most of Europe and Asia have fallen to the Empire. Having control of the Saudi Arabian oil, they had enough le

The truthBeing alone is how I live
Been this way since I was young
I watched the other children play
And heard the happy songs be sung

But I was exiled to myself
Expected to smile with my back to a wall
It takes a village to raise a child
But it seems they all just watched me fall

I heard the others make plans to hang
And I was never invited to be "in"
Not "in" amongst any of the crowds
as if my very presence was a sin

Those who do choose to have me around
Just call me depressed and tend to avoid me
I searched for someone to treat me as a friend
Someone who would be willing to set me free

But every time someone starts to show
That maybe i'm not a

Chapter 1: A rough beginning Chapter 1: A rough beginning

Cold. All I could remember at first was the cold. It covered my skin like the meat around my bones and filled my lungs with its thickness. I opened my eyes to a blanket of white all around me. I was amongst a very large field, possibly a road, engulfed by white. Trees stood boldly on either side of the area and multiple hills blocked my line of sight of the path ahead and behind me. Getting to my feet I realized I was ill prepared to be in this weather. A t-shirt, a hooded jacket, bandage like glove on my right hand, cargo pants and some boots, well, at least the boots would be useful. As I studie

Without you.

what is a twister without the wind?
What is a high-tide without the moon?
What is a fish without its school?
The result would be me when im not with you

The fish is alone, easy picking for prey
The water can not progress, it is stuck at bay
The twister would fade, just lost in the air
And so that is me, when you aren't there.
