Gabe's Poems... and stuff

All separated, none have titles, I don't really care about criticism or not, I just posted them here because I could, make any assumptions you want about them.

As I stand on the edge
My thoughts stray to life
No more worth than stepping off this ledge
Taking along the strife
____________________________________________________________________________________
Breaking down, bleeding

I cry for the god who lives in mystery

what kind of life have I been leading?
I hear the true words, ignorance is bliss, and I wanted to be free
______________________________________________________________________
Take me now, down this road
Don’t tell me what the future will hold
I have a heavy burden to unload
I am tired of doing what I was told.

We sit; in our hands we sip our tea with lime

We watch as this world burns
Sleeping tight and nice in our bed
While the violence in the world turns
Until it changes our small world into dread

Then you see the real life
You look out the window into the ashes
Why did you never expect this strife?
With all the fights, scuffles, and bashes

It was only a matter of time.

Why do I look out at the sky?
Why do I envy that one cloud?
Is it because we all have to die?
Fate hides me in its shroud.

One word can break or make
One word can be the sweetest
A life it can save or take
One word can be what we detest

Stray from me now
There is nothing left
I’ll stay and bow
Blame you not for this theft

Tall and proud you stand
I look down as you step
Your face hidden, my face bland
Away and away you are swept


Temptation becomes your lore
You take a breath as the feeling dies
Seduction will engulf you
Along with the following lies

So say what you will
Tell me what you shall
I’ll become the run of the mill
You’ll become the fame and fortune gal

But as you leave I look
Your face, its beauty surpasses all
One glance was all it took
I gave you a locket to open and call

When you were in danger
When you were in fear
You would open the locket, no stranger
Beside you to support, I would appear

As the challenges arrive
We hold up our heads
Fear is what we will deprive
Fighting until we’re back in our beds

The challenges end
A moment’s reprieve
Yet there are still things to which we must tend
Peace seems so difficult to achieve





We stand on the edge
Turning back to see our wins, our losses
Do we step toward the ledge?
The ground covers itself with many coloured mosses

We hurry toward the end of this trial
The gate begins to close
A vision shows the hopeful Isle
We finally make it through, the first sight; a rose

As we celebrate our victory
We realize what it took
Our losses quite contradictory
The wins were what we would overlook

Is my presence something benign?

I stand in the doorway
Simply seeing and hearing
What won’t end today
And will never cease in being

And I only stand
Your yells and cries
For so long in this land
One day, I’ll leave the lies

Be free from the betrayal
Away from the hypocrisy
Hands held high, I catch the hail
My tolerance is what you don’t see

When it is time to leave
Will I be ready?
Will you continue to grieve?
I stand my ground one more time, steady

Now as she walks in through the doorway, she removes her porcelain mask. Her two faces show, perfectly aligned, one horrid and one divine. <-(IDK what this is, I guess it fits into the "stuff" part)

I don’t know what I’m doing
I don’t want to let this go through
These frail broken pieces I am gluing
For once, I want to know what to do

At times I feel like it’s a thread
Tearing slowly every minute and day
This moronic, mad novel I’ve read
I throw it with me into the bay

When I feel like it’s over
When I don’t want to go
Now I hold my hands up higher
This is what I want to know

Will I pass, will I fail?
My life seems to be bored of me
Savoring these pieces so frail
I’ll never let go, I’ll never let it be

Though my mind and heart say so
Though it seems right
I still tell myself ‘no’
All through the night

Will I ever let go?
My tired arms are slipping
Or will it just take me too low
My entire body is tipping

I could never leave it
Let alone cast away
The torch so brightly lit
That shows my way

And the fire grows weary
As my mind grows weak
The torch goes out with my feelings dreary
Now I go, and play this blind game of hide-and-seek
With a future that looks ever so bleak
