Okay okay sorry about that Who Cares. It's yours not talee's now. Tee hee, sorry about that, really.

I am the Killer

Trembling hands of a perplexed mind
Holding onto a gleaming knife
An Instant shock from a past rewind
Dripping blood from fallen life

Night reveals its ominous threats in disguise
My gun falls to the stained red ground
Clenching my fists before I began to realize
The sudden silence in the sound

Bedtime is nothing but of painful dreams
Those dangling arms from those ropes
Killing me inside with those pleading screams
Watching, those eyes, dimming away hope

I am the killer of the dark night and day
Possessed, yet don't know exactly why
No matter what anyone seem to say
I lust to watch a human being die

Into the Blinding Light

Hello my dear, don’t be afraid,
Take my hand as you being to fade.
I’ve come to take you, to heaven above,
Where you can feel happiness and love.

Don’t be scared, your family is fine,
You still get to see them, one last time.
Although they can’t see you, they’ll say bye,
Don’t feel bad, as you watch them cry.

Grab on now, as we walk into the blinding light,
Don’t let go of my hand, hold on tight.
Don’t turn back keep walking ahead,
It’s time to go to heaven, got you are dead.

Ok, we’re here, welcome to heaven so grand,
Please feel free to let go of my hand.
See the angles fly around, and your family smile and wave,
The way to the gates, is golden paved.

I turn to her, "I don't want to be dead!
Is this just a dream made up by my head?
Please, I want to go back, please I beg you,
I'm too young my life can't be through!"

I wake up, it was just a dream,
I was hit by a bus, I remember I heard a scream.
People gathered around, crying and getting help,
Now I can’t move my legs, as I let out a yelp.

They come in, and say I barely lived through the night,
But luckily I lived, for I didn’t see the buses blinding light.
They were surprised; I should’ve died,
But luckily for me, I had an angel take my stride.

~*Who Cares?*~

~*`Cross out the eyes`*~

Cross out the eyes
so you cant see
all the pain
you've done to me.

The lies, the tears,
the sleepless nights.
All in hope
we'd be all right.

The torture I endured
to be here today.
Is worth more to me
than three words can say.

But is it all worth it?
To be so proud.
Of a life so low
and a love not allowed.

The pain built up
I slowly began to die.
Only put to sleep
by the sounds of my cries.

To be the end of every joke
the reason for every fight.
The reason i want to die
each and every night.

Cross out my eyes
so I can't see.
All the pain
that I brought upon me.

{Wow really, really bad. I'm sorry. I'll try to like fix it later.}

Wow, I feel bad now. I didn't realise you wanted it who cares, I'm sooooo sorry, =( I feel terrible now..

If you wanna write that one instead aswell or something, You can. I don't mind. I just feel really bad now. I didn't read your post. =(

no go ahead i already wrote a new 1. i dun mind:D i just wanted 2 make a scene. just write it have fun make it good:D

Hmm. Okay.. Well.. I'm done.

xX[. Where The Circle Ends .]Xx

Driving down an endless road,
Passing by Fields of despair.
Tall soldiers are standing strong,
With there arms open to care.

There's sunlight rays peaking through,
The moist, Dark, And gloomy sky.
Directions are on the signs,
Telling me where, When and why.

Running along the fence line,
My barrier to freedom.
How do I get over it?
And what will be the outcome?

Around and around I go,
With the ones I call my friends.
And through those tall gates from hell,
That's where the circle ends.

Autumn Leaves Revisited

I sit back and close my eyes
The sweet aroma of pine
Floats with the breeze
Around my face

I take a deep breathe
Open my hazel eyes
And take in the beauty

The golden leaves
Flutter in the gentle wind
Gracefully falling from
The thick branches

The flowers
Just starting
To say goodbye
Close up and get ready
For another
Long, peaceful sleep

And as I gaze
At the picture in front of me
My hands start to move
Across the paper

Capturing every detail
Every uniqueness..
The beauty before me
Appearing slowly on my paper

It hangs on the pale wall
Of my warm home
So that I can remember
That long ago day
When I revisited
The beautiful spot
And carefully drew my picture..

Keep them coming ^_^.

Running From The Rain (extra-long acoustic!)

Rain splashes
Umbrellas unfurl
Numberous
Numbers are
In puddles
Never
Getting wet

Feet scurrying
Roses laughing, wet
Old shoelaces breaking
Mothers carrying babies

The sidewalk is gray
Happy children splash their boots
Every animal is screaming, running or joining

Raccoons eat leftovers
Apples are washed
Indigo skies
New earth

9 more..ugh so many come on pplz!

~Autobiography Of A Nation~

Our world is moving backward,
fighting wars from in the past.
Worrying about biological warfare,
when our president should be gassed.

Slitting wrists is now in style,
among the youth of this decade.
It's like your life can't be complete,
without drugs and getting laid.

Even child abuse is on the rise,
sick parents who like to molest.
In order to become a parent,
you should have to pass a test.

People even question faith,
within the Christian world,
just because deranged priests,
molested little boys and girls.

There are so many idiots,
among the world today.
So many stupid optimists,
that are always acting gay.

I'm so sick of all their lies,
and all their forced beliefs.
I can't be happy with this world,
so I'll partake in the devil's feast.

May i reserve standing on the edge of summer?thanks!

Standing on the edge of summer

Standing on the edge of summer
Expecting the fresh breeze
My yearning heart
Is longing to dance in your embrace at ease

Standing on the edge of summer
Looking forward to the cool rain
My scorching heart
Is dying for your caress maybe in vain

Standing on the edge of summer
With a soul aching
I’ve been waiting here too long
Even the flowers withering

Still, standing on the edge of summer
Awaiting the mysterious drifter
Maybe it will evaporate again like water
I could still feel the warmth hither and thither
