[Java]

Stopping to rest in a foggy daze
I let my mind wander within a maze
Wondering if we were all alone in the universe

I paused to think of bears in the woods
Thought too of fallen trees in the woods
Wondering if the universe could exist if unperceived

Thinking, out of sight and out of mind
I wondered what else there was to find
Pondering if mere existance depends on life’s witness

Turning the shell we live in inside out
Onwards to finding out what it was all about
I saw but could not explain, understood without words

[*cowboy*style*]

I hope that you could find it
Somewhere in your loving heart to forgive me
The first few times I felt like a stranger ere
It seems I lost all my past worries
All of my memories
And even all of my fears

I was swept away
But I didn't even feel you enter
And it seems that everytime I'm alone
My mind shows faded pictures of only you

I know that this all might sound a bit crazy
But when its you, I don't have a care
It was always you that made me so aware
And now my senses are on

Nothing else could switch me on
It was you all the while

Nothing can stop me
I'm on...automatic
There's no return
While I'm on...automatic

His laugh was contagious,
And I found myself
smiling
in spite of everything.

"Can I come over tomorrow?"

I'd ask once more.
Selfishly I'd keep you.
And time after time
you'd open your door.

If only to raise my self worth.
If only to be allowed to love myself,
and in so many ways you helped.
In neverending ways
did you stop
the inevitable.

My self destruction.
My retaliation
against life.
And never once
did you ask for payment.
My thank you's have run dry.
But you only nod and smile
knowing
that I
was savable with time.

[Lizzyborden02]

Trying to find release
You cut.
Dripping red upon the floor.
Does that make it easier
to face each day?
As if the drugs weren't enough.
For a few moments,
Numbing pain...
Making you forget,
Seemingly.
Unlike the stains
A cruel reminder.

[Lizzyborden02]

Empty.
Like so many faces
that feign understanding.
Please don't join them.
I'm not afraid of death
just terrified of living.
Like a child
crying out and needing
Help.

But the bottle's never full,
and the body's ever hollow.
The tears keep raining down
but release never follows.

And if only I could
keep intact.
If only the sadness
would spring from my skin,
maybe I'd come alive within,
and the darkness wouldn't seem
so near.
Nor my wrath wrapped in fear,
and I'd welcome
instead of shun
the light that lifts me....
till i remain no longer
empty.

[Lizzyborden02]

Solitude
How you comfort me
Lonliness
My only love
And because misery loves company
Eagerly
You play the part
And I seek you out
When you are unavailable
And I mourn your presence
When you are unavoidable

How funny

That these barren hands
Offer nothing
Yet I claw the dirt for more
If only to be denied
By mud and stone

How sad

That I continue my feast
On your plastic fruit
Unable to grasp
Why I'm forever hungry
And I wonder
How I've survived thus far

How,
Regardless,
I've come to last
This long
And despite the crowds
I'm still alone

[Lizzyborden02]

sorry....i think i got carried away

*runs off*

Fly Along
Written by Ashley Tilus

This can't be true
This - you and me
Sharing deeper feelings and fantasies
I tell you all that no one can realize
I'm so awake, I'm so alive

I got your number from that email
So straightforward with no details
I wonder how this untyipical fling would last
This experience shines from those in the past

Those phrases
They just linger
With their added extra verbs
Your confessions
So descriptive
With so many particular words
You tell me over again that
You wanna see me and
Emotions fall like rain as
I fly along with you

The sound of your voice
Was just sweet music to me
Like lilting keyboard notes
Half-spoken words you said to me

Emotions fall like rain
As I fly along with you.
