Half my Heart
Here is my heart
It's been broken in two
One for me
And one for you
And though I know you shan't
Keep it safe
At least I have half
To keep me sane
During these lonely nights
And darkened days
This is my mind
It's torn in two
Partially by me
Mostly by you
You took ahold of my head
And bashed it apart
But at least I still
Have half my heart
During these lonely nights
And darkened days
There is the night
Come to take me away
On a tortured sleep
As on this bed I lay
I think about you
How you caused me to break
And I write a letter
To whoever will take
Half my heart
During these lonely nights
And darkened days
Sonnet II
If I asked you to take a stroll with me,
would you come along? I want to play a
game with you that requires honesty.
This kind of challenge scares people away.
By the time that we are done you will know
of intimacies and secrets unknown
to my acquaintances and I will know
more of you than you care to share. That moan,
was it fear or desire? Do you care
that I am interested in knowing you
intimately? Does that give you a scare?
Remember, I will give myself to you.
Come, take my hand. Let me possess your soul.
Overlook the fact that I am a troll…
When she awakens in the morning
She passes the demon in the kitchen
The one that wears a mask like a human face
When she goes to school
She passes the monsters in the hall
The ones that have fake hearts made of lace
When she goes home
After classes are done
When day turns to noon
She thinks to herself
When born into darkness
Does one fear the moon?
When she gets home
She passes the demon in the bedroom
The one that rests on a bed made of gold
When she reaches her own room
She listens to the monster next door
The one that smiles but has a heart that is cold
When she lays on her bed
After the demons have been laid to rest
When noon turns to night
She thinks to herself
When born into darkness
Does one fear the light?
When these days turn into years
She still thinks to herself
The one question she's asked a hundred times
The question about the darkness, the fear
The moon, the night
And are her demons truly real, or are they just
a trick
of the
light?
Lonely Sacrifice
I finally understand
Why those lyrics are filled
With so much pain
And why
When I look out the window
All I expect is rain
When I was little
I always wondered
About my first heartbreak
But never would I have thought
It'd be this way for you or me
The countless times
You have ran through my head
And the tears that I have shed
I build my life around you
On you
For you
I climb so high only to fall
And all I see
Is you looking at me
As my body shatters
Like a porcelain doll
I am swimming and shouting
Calling for your help
But you're too far to hear
As the water swallows me
And all my fear
Can't you see
I'd do anything for you and me
But no
The heat is blinding you
As I burn within
I fight to find a way out
I shout and I shout
Begging you to help me out
But my cries become a nuisance
My shrieks a pain
As the cinders burn me away
My fingernails are bloody
As I try to climb the walls
And the only word to pass my lips Isn't for me at all
I say one word
As I try to climb out of this hell
That I'm in
One word for you and that is to
Run
Run away from here
So you now longer have to see
Run away from me
Because we can no longer be
Yes I love you
This is true indeed
But since I love you
I must set you free
Because the worst thing for me
Is if I had to see
My nightmares coming true
Of me hurting you
So run
Run away from me
The fire has me
It has twisted me
Run
Before I burn you too
I will turn to ash
Then to dust
As the wind carries me away
As I tumble and as I fall
I will still try to call for you
But you are gone
You have ran
And I will be alone again
As I settle on the sand
I will let the waves take me
I will not fight
And I will welcome death
When it is in sight
As I look up at my once blue sky
My last thought will be of you
And how I never got to say
Goodbye
I love you
Beneath the masks, underneath the skin
that's lying time after time
Instead of a heart and veins and blood
there's a radioactive glowing core
An engine revving and motor oil flowing
through black and yellow tubes
My rib cage is made of twisted iron
My lungs are made of rusty tin
With each step that I dare to take
A voice tells me to stop
To shut myself down,
To rip out my metal heart
To burn
burn
burn
burn.
Because I am not human
I do not feel
I am made of copper joints and silver screws
rubbery wires and aluminum ribbon
Painted pretty colors and given fake jewels
Every word uttered from my silicon lips
Is fake
Like me
And though I know
I am worthless
And though I know
I'm made of iron and steel
I feel trapped inside my tiny cage
I'm screaming
I'm screaming
Can't you hear me?
I thought I was showing it in my grin
And my laugh
Can't you see I'm broken?
“AN ASPIE’S LIFE”
An Aspie's life in the spectrum shouldn't go unnoticed, or misunderstood.
I may be awkward, and lack expression; but I'm not trying to
be difficult, or act out for attention.
There's a deep place in my heart where I store my special interest;
they give me peace along with reminding myself of who I am inside.
Every day I hear sirens, honking, chatter and several other noises overwhelm my sensitive ears.
Distinctive scents, passing through my nasal passages at unpredictable moments.
There's more for me to discover about myself, and the surrounding world. I will strive to be the best possible version of myself in life!
An Aspie's life.
