I'm sitting here at the table
Watching myself drown, drown, drown
I always thought I'd be able
This life wouldn't kick me down, down, down
I'm laying prone on the concrete
These voices are much too loud
This bottle tastes like defeat
I'm just another face in the crowd
And now this heart feels so empty
I just want to scream, scream, scream
You say my chances were plenty
This has to be a dream, dream, dream
You know I'd make you my world
But now I just don't have a choice
This blatant nightmare unfurled
I'm crying out with no voice
And now I find myself choking
But I just don't seem to care, care, care
My pleas just weren't though provoking
He's taken away my air, air, air
I'll try to move on without you
But that won't stop the pain that I feel
I wish your love I could renew
Your breath I wish I could steal
Yet I sit here with these bottles
Bottles of empty dreams, dreams, dreams
In time this glass neck I'll throttle
I'm splitting at the seams, seams, seams
But at this time I'm not ready
These wounds will take time to heal
Someday soon I'll be steady
Inside I still want to feel
Watching myself drown, drown, drown
I always thought I'd be able
This life wouldn't kick me down, down, down
I'm laying prone on the concrete
These voices are much too loud
This bottle tastes like defeat
I'm just another face in the crowd
And now this heart feels so empty
I just want to scream, scream, scream
You say my chances were plenty
This has to be a dream, dream, dream
You know I'd make you my world
But now I just don't have a choice
This blatant nightmare unfurled
I'm crying out with no voice
And now I find myself choking
But I just don't seem to care, care, care
My pleas just weren't though provoking
He's taken away my air, air, air
I'll try to move on without you
But that won't stop the pain that I feel
I wish your love I could renew
Your breath I wish I could steal
Yet I sit here with these bottles
Bottles of empty dreams, dreams, dreams
In time this glass neck I'll throttle
I'm splitting at the seams, seams, seams
But at this time I'm not ready
These wounds will take time to heal
Someday soon I'll be steady
Inside I still want to feel

The Death Within Life
Raging Seas
Dark skies
Endless tears
Cold fires
That is what life is.
No fairy godmothers
or knights in shining armor.
Only witches and cauldrons
recipes for disaster.
There are no three wishes
or steeds that fly.
No hero, no powers,
certainly no rewinds.
Life is but time
flowing forward.
Spent by little moments
we call ours.
It is never enough,
not once.
Fragments engraved
they're left to remain.
Not even our mind, our knowledge
can prolong our hours.
To live them as they come
seconds remembered, never forgotten.
To let them pass
by our envy and our pride.
No wonder we are fools
both then and now.
Not one of us

Streets
Say goodbye to the streets for me,
Because I won't be seeing them again.
Tell them how I loved their noise,
How it kept me from sleeping at night.
The way they took me away when I ran,
It was so calm when they subdued me,
Took away my thoughts when I couldn't.
Tell them I will be missing them so,
Because nobody knew me like they did.
Say I will remember them forever.

Promise Me
If I tied you to a tree
Told you to stay if you love me
Would I some day return to see
Your skeleton still there for me
Or would you be like everybody
And just abandon me?
If I beat you, almost to death
But then nursed you back to health
Would you love me like your breath
Or view me as the theft to your soul wealth?
If I tied you to a tree
Begged you to never leave me
Would you still try to get free
Never wanting to be near me
Or would you wait and see
If you're the one for me?
If I broke your bones,
Struck you with stones,
Then left you alone,
Would your heart still be my home?
If I tied you to a tree
Commanded you to wa

I honestly don't know where I intended to go with this poem. It just came out of nowhere, and went on an uncontrolled rampage. It flowed perfectly for me, and looking back on it I can see that the connection between stanza's is still pretty good overall. All in all, another poem I am happy with.
I do know I was influenced by the song "Goin Down" by Three Days Grace, but the odd thing is, I wasn't even listening to it. I just had the music in my head. Especially the first stanza, very similar to the opening verses of the song. I find it odd looking back, but I don't really mind. It helped me put together another poem.
I hope you like it.
