Ode to my Love

Pain, Sorrow, Heartache, Grief
Joy, Ecstacy, Happiness : Love
The feelings I have
When I think of You

In me you arouse
My deepest desires
To love you
To hold you
For you to be mine

My heart it beats
Like a thousand soldiers
Marching away with my soul

Whenever I'm near you
My head feels light
My knees feel weak
And my sould feels strong

My feelings mix
'Till my head it spins
I've just go to have your love

My mind is numb
I feel so dumb
Whenever we even exchange greetings
I feel so strongly, yet cannot express
The love I feel for you

Fun

Poke him, taunt him
Make him feel a fool
He'll understand it must be done
It's only harmless fun

He loves her, he said so
He sent her a card
He thinks that he can have romance
Of that there is no chance

He is intelligent, but ugly
Both ugly and fat
Give him sorrow, never joy
For he is just an ugly fat boy

To me he is a nothing
He has no feelings or pride
He is sad, that's how he should be
Because he is different from me

Life

Life is a void
A deep all encompassing blackness, empty of all emotion
Pinpricks of hope dot this bleakest of landscapes
Like stars in a clear night sky
But, like the stars, they are forever out of reach

Life is corrupted
Corruption like cancer
A slowly encroaching force, flowing freely in the veins of us all
Leading to hatred and ridicule
Leading to the outcast of others
Taking the life and replacing it with a void

Pain is all
All is pain
Never a release
Never a light or hope
Only pain

We all live a lie
A lie about love and happiness
The emotions that are felt
But are never returned
And leave only pain

Life is a void
A deep all encompassing blackness, empty of all emotion
Pinpricks of hope dot this bleakest of landscapes
Like stars in a clear night sky
But, like the stars, they are forever out of reach

Untitled One

My life it was so empty
So devoid of anything real
The emotions you called forth from me
From so deep down in my soul
Were ones I thought I would never feel

But still I am so lonely
And depression rules my life
Because I live in the knowledge
That what I feel for you, you will never feel with me
And this brings me nought but strife

Merely a glance at you
Will set my soul afire
But I feel melancholy simultaneously
For I know we could never realy talk as friends
And this is my deepest desire

Why must we be so different
Why can't you feel the same?
I wish just for one day
You could know the exhultation I feel
Whenever I hear your name

Untitled Two

Continual nightmare
That's my world
Never does it end

But this is no dream
I cannot awake
My heart will never mend
