Just Friends.

In him she found answers she was looking for, so she stopped asking questions.  In her, he found fire and freedom.  They walked to the edge and she jumped, without looking, into the deep blue.  He stopped, he paused, and decided that falling was not worth the risk of landing to hard.  She floated there for a while, but with no one there to help her swim the waves will eventually wash her away.  He starts to apologize, “I wish” but she dams up his words with her hands and her eyes, “don’t.”  He tries to fix things and make her smile, but wounded waters […]

Edna St. Vincent Millay

by QuixoticNomad
written by QuixoticNomad

Time does not bring relief; you all have lied

Who told me time would ease me of my pain!

I miss [her] in the weeping of rain;

I want [her] at the shrinking of the tide;

The old snows melt from every mountain-side,

And last year’s leaves are smoke in every lane;

But last year’s bitter loving must remain

Heaped on my heart, and my old thoughts abide.

There are a hundred places where I fear

To go, — so with [her] memory they brim.

And entering with relief some quiet place

Where never fell his foot or shone his face

I say, “There is no memory of [her] here!”

And so stand stricken, so remembering [her].

-Edna St. […]

¿And Should I be shocked now by the last thing you said?

by hellblau
written by hellblau

Today’s on fire, the sky is bleeding above me, and I am blistered.
I walk these lines of blasphemy, every day…

And still, like a bad star, I’m falling faster down to him,
He’s the only one who knows, what it is to burn

I feel diseased, ¿Is there no sympathy from the sun?
The sky’s still fire, but I am safe in here, from the world outside.

So tell me, ¿What’s the price to pay for glory?

Fuck.

by hellblau
written by hellblau

I don’t know why I’m still fucking trying.
2 weeks and counting when you don’t even try to text me. What the fuck.
I put the fucking sky at your feet and you do this to me? What the fuck.
I bought you things, I made something for your birthday. What the fuck.
I tried to call you, I tried to text you, I still do. What the fuck.
I mean what the fuck is wrong with you, You’re playing with my fucking feelings.
What the fuck.

I put the fucking world at your fucking feet. Fuck you.

And you know what else? Fuck you […]

Goodbye, Goodbye

by moonlitrose34
written by moonlitrose34

This isn’t anything special. It’s just a poem I wrote at 5 am. Even though it’s not that great, it describes my inner turmoil.

I want to talk about this pain,
That I’ve felt was always in vain,

Do you really not see,
What’s become of me?

On silent nights,
I always fight,

As tears run down my eyes,
Each teardrop breaking my ties,

My ties with this world,
As I am hurled,

Into this insanity,
Which will never set me free.

My teardrops slowly become red,
Food for the blade that I’ve fed.

They tell me that all will be well,
While I slowly rot away in this hell,

Could they not tell […]

Will It Ever End?

by suicidalflower
written by suicidalflower

Here I lay at 3am still trying to fall asleep.

The thoughts of suicide keep flooding into my mind. Prying at the walls of my skull. Screaming in my ears and telling me to kill myself. Though, I’ve tried it a few times. But my world never seemed to end.

Drink bleach; I’m rushed to the hospital.

Overdose; my body refused.

Climb to the top of a building; I’m afraid of heights.

People tell me that God put me here for a reason. But prove to me that this God exists and that he put me here for a reason. I am suffering in this madness. If this God supposedly […]

why r u still walking along?

by darkness_within
written by darkness_within

You r walking the street along,

alone in the darkness,

on your mind only your sadness,

you r walking the street along,

the railway comes closer,

but where is your sanity?

Were?

Your sanity is slowly slipping from your head now,

you r standing closer to the edge than you should be alowed.

You already realized it,

but why r u still walking along?

Life is empty & meaningless, without any/no purpose, Life is boring, empty! There is no meaning of life! fuck life, fuck reality !

Life is empty & meaningless, without any/no purpose, Life is boring, empty! There is no meaning of life! fuck life, fuck reality !

The more I grow up & learn after all these 32 years of my life, sadly, the more I feel hopeless especially for humanity / our humans species!
MAJORITY of people / humans beings / humanity are so damn shallow, superficial, vain, ignorant, stupid, fake, dirty, liars, etc etc.
I used to have so much HOPE for humanity , but now the hope is dwindling until it’s almost none !!
MOST people are sadly only concerned with vain, shallow, mundane “daily-life” & little […]

I love you

by hellblau
written by hellblau

Happy birthday to the most beautiful and unique person I’ve ever met, I really love you, you know I’ll give everything for you, I want you to be happy and be fine. I know your heart is broken but I swear I can fix it if you let me try. I can try to make you happy. I love you so much. I swear. I wish I had the courage to tell you all this instead of writing it down where you can’t read it. You’re such a beautiful pain that I crave everyday. Even tho I know I’m broken I know that love can […]

Linger with me now, thou Beauty

by three.moons
written by three.moons

This is not my own, but it’s so beautiful, wanted to share….

 

Linger now with me, thou Beauty,
On the sharp archaic shore.
Surely ’tis a wastrel’s duty
And the gods could ask no more.
If thou lingerest when I linger,
If thou tread’st the stones I tread,
Thou wilt stay my spirit’s hunger
And dispel the dreams I dread.

Come thou, love, my own, my only,
Through the battlements of Groan;
Lingering becomes so lonely
When one lingers on one’s own.

I have lingered in the cloisters
Of the Northern Wing at night,
As the sky unclasped its oysters
On the midnight pearls of light;
For the […]

Marbles

by Skeleton100
written by Skeleton100

Glass marbles,

Spiraling over the floor,

Blue, green, red.

Some are retrieved

And put in a shiny jar.

Others fall down vents

Or collect dust under the sofa.

One is gulped down by the rat-haired dog.

 

My question:  Do the prettiest marbles end up in the shiny jar?

Life is not fair / unfair. there is always winners & losers. I’m a loser, so why can’t I / losers just commit suicide?

by niki
written by niki

Life is not fair.
Life is unfair.

there is always winners & losers.
there will always be winner & loser.
so why can’t I / losers just commit suicide?
rather than they keep living chasing & fixing all their way too many losses, which is probably too late anyway too.
and usually losers can’t win / can never win against winners anyway .. even the “start” is already too late!!

This is the harsh truth / fact / reality .

Reality / Real life / Real world is very LIMITING / LIMITED in what we can & can’t do !
We are limited by money […]

My thoughts

by alex
written by alex

Why cant i go a day without thinking of killing myself? Its like a constant struggle to continue to live in this world. Everything is just so meaningless to me now. Is there even a real point to continue living and moving forward or are we just fooling oursleves when we say “it will get better”.

When i use to try and ask for help to stop these thoughts people only made it worse by telling me there is something wrong with me and i should go to a therapist but all they would do is put me on pills. I dont wanna go on […]

“Welcome to Hell”

by The_Nobody_
written by The_Nobody_

oh Yay! There’s another baby on its way today.
As she swims around in her mothers womb, if only
she knew that it was too soon. For her mommy was
taking too much med. Now everyone had to stare blank ahead.
As you lie there in your sweet baby bed going through overdose
they waited for the doctor to diagnose when we could take you home. Two
weeks pass and you’re no longer left alone.
As you’re carried into the doors of life,
“Welcome to hell” the sign on the door should have said.
Reaching your destination will all be in your head. “Last call
for the train heading nowhere fast.” The memories you create […]
