Lies

Mirror
By: ~deadlypoison695

Mirror, Mirror,
lie to me
and show me what
I want to see,
a world untouched,
un-harmed by love,
a world not cursed,
that soars above,
a world of warmth,
not cold as ice,
a world where hearts break once,
not twice.

Mirror, Mirror,
lie to me
and show me what
I wish to see,
a moonlit night,
not pouring rain,
tears cried for joy,
not cried for pain,
a peaceful life,
a brand-new slate,
a world where love
can't turn to hate.

Mirror, Mirror,
lie to me
and show me what
I hope to see,
a world where pain
cannot occur,
where tears don't make
my vision blur,
where happiness
can't drag me down,
and love won't try
to make me drown.

Mirror, Mirror,
lie to me
and show me what
I pray to see,
a place where I
won't need to feel,
where time and life
are not so real,
a place where I
don't need to think,
where into death
I'll never sink.

Mirror, Mirror,
lie to me
and show me what
I know can't be,
a world where death
is not a choice,
a place where I
can't hear her voice,
a world where cuts
don't bleed or scar,
where I can watch
life from afar,
a world where I
can hide away,
to die again
another day.

Now Mirror, Mirror,
lie to me
and show me what
I need to see
reflect a world
unlike my own
where what is real
is never known.

From me, To you.

Of Love
by ~Neko-Priestess

You have no idea how much I love you
It isn't a lie, only pure and true
It hurts when you forget me
I wish you could see
It hurts when you talk about your love for another
I only wish that I, not him, was your lover
I want to be with you, but you don't wish the same.
You don't need to worry because I'm not playing a game
When you are gone, I hurt.
If only you were mine to court.
When you are here it still hurts, because you are not mine
Even though I act on the outside that I'm fine
I wish I could hold you in my arms
And tell you of all of your charms
But I know that right is for another
and sadly, again, I'm not that lover
For the another you love
And he, I wish you wouldn't speak of
You have no idea how much I love you
And I swear it is only pure and true
I can't bear to tell you though
as it would be a low blow
If I did I believe it would ruin our friendship
If only I could both cry and get a grip
and I'd rather have you as a friend then nothing at all
And by you I shall, for you, stand still and tall.

Simple is good.

4 Months later - ExBF Edition
by ~LantisGaius

I miss you still
Through all this time
You left me all alone

We used to talk
We used to laugh
But now our friendships fading fast

I miss you
I care
And yes, I'll be here for you.

----------------------------------------------
This piece is a nod to ~averagejane’s poem... [link] I was suddenly inspired when I saw her work, and this is the outcome. It ain't my best work, but it's still a good piece in my opinion. I really liked her poem, I was somehow touched… Oh, and the title's a shoutout to Ne-Yo's So Sick (ExGF Edition) ^^; Hehehehe

Simple, short, sweet and direct. The basic components of a very nice poem. Kudos to ClaudiaCassanova, for this excellent piece of poetry. =)

A Song and A Poem

~Ooc: Literature
----------------------------------------------

This two pieces of fine literature really explains my situation right now...All the pain and tears, everything I'm trying to hide - That I'm still struggling with too much emotional baggage. I hate this feeling, and I'm desperately running away from it because it really hurts... Anyways, here's the pieces along with their authors.

Naghihintay (Link)
By: Jacob

Kelan bang makikita ng iyong mga mata
Kelan bang maririnig sayo na tayo na

[refrain]
Huwag mo akong sisihin kung ang lungkot ng aking damdamin
Bakit di mo akong subukan suyuin…suyuin

[Chorus]
Naghihintay, kahit parang wala pag-asa
Handa na, maghintay kahit pa may’ron kang iba
Bahala na, naghihintay ako na ika’y makasama
Kahit na, naghihintay
Kahit parang wala na

Bakit ba di mo buksan ang iyong mga mata
Nang ang oras natin ay di na masayang pa

[repeat refrain]
[repeat chorus twice]

Huwag mo akong sisihin
kung biglang sumuko ang damdamin
di mo kasi ako pinapansin

Suicide and Love doesn't mix
by: ~jazzyspazzy

Lying on the floor
Wishing I had died
Praying for those words
I should know will never come.

You'd been hurt before
But I've been hurt
(and worse)
My heart has healed
And it wants you
Something yours will never do

I see you
and I smile inside
I leave you
and I die inside

The way my heart stops beating
The way my chest starts heaving
The way I cry
"I hate my life"
The way I suddenly realize
The only way to survive
To close my eyes
Pull the trigger
Bring my life to a tragic end.

Gazing at you from above
My eyes fill with tears of love
They spill down upon your face

I wish I could be that tear
The one last time I could touch you
Instead of feeling my heart break

Searching for you at my funeral
Knowing that you won't be there
Seeing you, so far away
I wander over
Stare at you
To finally hear the words
I've always wanted you to say:
"Oh god I love you."
"Oh God I miss you"
Then I suddenly realize
The only way to survive
To turn away and say good bye
Is to think of how I had to die
For you to say you loved me.

Fate/Stay Night

~Ooc: Literature
----------------------------------------------

"I am the bone of my sword.
Steel is my body, and fire is my blood.
I have created over a thousand blades.
Unknown to death.
Nor known to life.
Have withstood pain to create many weapons.
Yet, those hands will never hold anything.
So as I pray, "Unlimited Blade Works."

I have always played Magic:The Gathering CCG, but in terms of story, L5R just rocks my world. I really love the setting, and the writers are really superb.

Kudos to Legend of the Five Rings Writers, namely Shawn Carman, Nancy Sauer and others! :D

Desperate

~Ooc: Literature
----------------------------------------------

Desperate
By: ~LantisGaius (101206)

How does love feel?
What does it mean...
Why do we love?
Is there a reason?

I lived for a while
and I will die in a bit -
I have journeyed far
just to feel this 'Love'

Why does people look for it?
To also sate their curiosity?
To be able to understand?
Or to be understood?

I thought I saw Love
Just a glimpse, Just a peek
I marvelled at her beauty
but is this true love?

How do you know,
How would you compare -
Is this feeling truly 'Love',
or is it just purely lust?

They say to 'Love' is to be happy
that Love is right
but why do I doubt?
but why does it hurt?

Is love real?
Is it just a figment of imagination?
a haven for dreamers,
just a glimmer of hope?

Yes, I am desperate
for I feel I'm being left out
How can everyone talk about love?
Why is it, can I not relate?

----------------------------------------------
Prove to me that love exists. ~ Me

Its only
You
On my lips
Not her.

Its only

Not her

In my heart
Not her

Its only
You
For me
Not her.

A Purpose-Driven Life

~Ooc: Literature
----------------------------------------------

I'm currently reading Rick Warren's A Purpose-driven Life. I thought it was a self-help book, and boy was I surprised. It was very very theological. It makes me question my long standing beliefs (Here and Here). Its a really great book, and the writing are so well done, Its refreshing. I highly recommend this book to everyone who's spiritually deprived and lost in life. That ryhmes. I also recommend it to my close friend Edwin, but I don't know how to give it to him.

He's becoming an aethist. I wonder I spelled that right. But anyway, my friend Edwin's on a False Path. I wish I can help, but I can't. He's really tight-lipped about personal matters. Just look at his writings here. I know, they're wonderful pieces of literature, but the message is quite true.

*sigh* I hate it when I know the problem but can't do anything about it...
----------------------------------------------
That's a lot of links. Very Emo post too. And I just love BoA's Long Time No See. ^^ Happy Birthday Bestfriend!

Procrastination Sucks.

~Ooc: Literature
----------------------------------------------

So, I wrote all about it. Me, and Aubrey and my feelings and all. I compiled it all in a simplistic short story. Comment on it, okay?

Btw, here's the description:

Procrastination Hurts. by ~LantisGaius

What? I'm just saying it hurts. I waited for too long, and now I fear I've lost her forever. *sigh*

I hate this. Right now, my head is beating me around shouting 'TORPE KA KASI!'. I'm not 'torpe'. At least not before I met her. I became really afraid that I might lose her friendship when I try to court her. She's not exactly looking for a boyfriend. *sigh*

I'm not proud of what happened, but as they say: "Learn from the mistakes of others, coz you won't live long enough to make all of them." Oh, and Paz Marquez Benitez' Dead Stars is also a good read. Too good in fact, that in hindsight, even looked prophetic provided the things that happened to me recently. T_T
