"Moon hangs round, a blade over my head,
Reminds me what to do before I'm dead.
Night consumes light and all I dread.
Reminds me what to do before I'm dead."
-- Before I'm Dead. By:Kidney Thieves
======================================

Before I'm dead.

Before I'm dead I must make a list.
Stating everything that would be missed,
Showing my death it would consist.
Knowing that I will forever not be missed.

Darkness is what I crave for now,
The light my body will no longer allow,
For death is to be displayed like the prow,
The beauty of dying my body will surely allow.

Moon hangs round, a blade over my head,
Reminds me what to do before I'm dead.
Night consumes light and all I dread.
Reminds me what to do before I'm dead.

Now is the time for this great ending,
My final breath is the only thing pending,
And hell is where I will be attending.
My soul is what they are pending.

Hmm. Thanks for mentioning that. It's okay, I forgot to state that I did want them together. But I'll still count yours the way it is.

"Take On The World"
by: Briana Coulter

We realize that we are two of a kind, so we breathe as one.
We can take on this world until our final day has been done.
Everything pauses as our love moves faster than light.
Nothing will ever hold us back, whether it is day or night.

As the city crumbles, I see that there's nothing left behind.
As we lay here together, I feel your heart beat with mine.
With time standing still, here is where we've always been.
Well, there goes the world and we're right in the middle again.

If we want to get out, we have no choice but to move quick.
As you read my mind, you say, "this place makes me sick".
They say we're supposed to feel at home, but this is a war-zone.
This is our chance, so our trip we are unable to postpone.

We'll fight until our final day, and ignore people who cannot trust.
The only thing we need to survive is each other, that's a must.
I cannot do this without you by my side, so I won't ever let go.
Our passion to live and for one another is not at all a show.

**"As the city crumbles I see that there's nothing left behind.
As we lay here together I feel your heart beat with mine.
With time standing still, here is where we've always been.
Well, there goes the world and we're right in the middle again."

-- "In The Middle" by Theory Of A Deadman**

"Say this world is not so shallow"

The Remedy~Abandoned Pools

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Scratch The Surface

You see me
But it doesn't last
The smile
Such a thoughtless cast

Returned, it's not
Just icy glare
Brought on by
The cross I bear

Friendly spirit
Rejected look
Rarely favoured
Never shook

Unafraid
To make a choice
What others question
I rejoice

A cover's
But a glimpse inside
One step
Into a persons stride

Say this world
Is not so shallow
Afraid to swim
Hearts so sallow

Swallow down
Your foolish pride
Deeper waters
Where we hide

Hatred seeks
What you don't know
What you can't see
Or we don't show

A friendly smile
A little wave
Return them once
Do something brave

Please reserve me a spot.

(Name change -> Kristi to Hearts)

"C'est ma faute
si l'on est si loin l'un de l'autre." -KYO

English translation:
It's my fault
If one is so far from the other.
~~~~~~~~~

I never talked to you
When I should have.
Didn't take the time
To listen up
Because you pushed me away.

You would tell me,
That you didn't push.
Did not prod.
But who was I to believe?

Especially you --
My own blood,
Telling me
That I would die
And live
With the devil.

Who was I to believe?
You, my own blood
Reached for me
As I shielded my eyes.

C'est ma faute
si l'on est si loin l'un de l'autre.
It's my fault
If one is so far from the other.

You didn't reach
With a warm grasp.
It was cold, shaking,
Trembling with rage and fear.
Who was I to believe?
You could not hurt me.

C'est ma faute
si l'on est si loin l'un de l'autre.
It's my fault
If one is so far from the other.

I'm going to have to unreserve, sorry

Lyrics from AFI's song Ether (new EP song)
"I open my mouth and drink down the sea,
You'd drown in me"
I also stole the title off another song on the new EP, but that isn't included in the lyrics part.

100 Words

It isn't just a party joke anymore, is it?
The girl with the tear tattooed on her cheek,
She can be your trophy, sitting at your feet.
Collecting dust until it suits you to revisit.

All the while you can watch the world as
I open my mouth and drink down the sea,
I told you that you'd drown in me
You walk the grounds that no one else has.

Fascinated by stars and what's beyond,
We both know we weren't meant for here
What can you do when the end is near?
Try fighting against a rock solid bond.

Reminder: You have one week left to get your poems in.

Due date: Saturday, August 16th.

*Four spots still open if anyone else is interested in joining.*

Reserve me, please. :)

Reserve please :]

*Missing*

What if I never wake up again?
Will you miss me then?
Will you be sad 'cause my life passed by?
Or you'll pretend that you're stranger and you won't even cry?

What if I just go and leave you alone?
Will you beg me to stay?
Will you look for me every day?
Or you'll just let me go without any word to say?

Will you try to make things right?
Are you longing to see me tonight?
Won't you call me and say that you want me back,
And that you're sorry 'cause you coloured my life in black?

But..
You won't cry for my absence, I know -
You forgot me long ago.
Am I that unimportant...?
Am I so insignificant...?
Isn't someone missing me?

Thank you. But can you please post a little note that tells me what part of the lyrics you used and what song. Thanks.

Oh sorry,I forgot...
"You won't cry for my absence, I know -
You forgot me long ago.
Am I that unimportant...?
Am I so insignificant...?
Isn't someone missing me?"
