Please ... Don't ...The sun's shining and the sky is clear
and you wish that you weren't here
Anymore, no part of this world, of this life
You're trapped in darkness and the way out
Of it is death, there's no doubt
But the alluring whispers of the sharp knife

When you drive in your car down the road
You dream of your last abode
And your eyes search for a tree to crash into
Every bridge's a chance to jump down
Each river tempts you to drown
In it, you climb high buildings not for the view

How can I make you stay here with me
When you try so hard to flee
From life's pain and the darkness and the sorrow?
Still I'm begging at your feet to stay
Not to
Veterans are in my Heart and SoulVeterans – they are in my heart and soul
Whether they listen to rap or rock and roll
Veterans, they are all the same at heart
Even my mama and daddy played their part

Strong at heart, bold in nature, but still kind
Fighting until their last words are signed
Losing their limbs, their friends, their life
All to bring an end to this horrible strife

These Veterans I do so love for what they do
For freedom, there is nothing they won't go through
They will fight until they are finally called home
Be that home with their family or the twilight zone

And so I get rather riled up when they aren't respected
Do you know how much we'd be affe
Commission - Dirty SecretA house so splendid and fine
A house you proudly call "Mine"
Yet I spy with my little eye ...
But behind the facade: rotten wood
Skeletons in closets shut for good

At heart you are oh so pure
The just's sleep is your's for sure
But still my little eye does spy...
Do you have sweet dreams, my dear, at night
While you did leave me with hurt and fright?

A gentleman and a sir
You believe that's what you are
And I hear with my little ear...
All of the silent cries you blocked out
So long you don't even hear me shout

Keep pretending, go ahead
Yet your secret still isn't dead
I'm alive and won't disappear
A haunting ghost I don't w
Oh you singing chimesOh, you sad sad chimes stop singing
This awful tune of grief
For him the bell tolled and now's ringing
You mourn for my fiancé's thief
He paid for his crime with his life
My gun took his away
The woman I love will be my wife
So sad chimes, sing joyfully today

Oh you mourning chimes do sing on
And I will sing along
For him to grim death's sad melody
The victim of jelousy
My love for him became his doom
By the gun of my groom
Like the smoke his life faded away
Oh, you sad sad chimes sing on today

Oh you sad sad chimes will you fade
Today's a day of joy
Since at dawn two men met at the glade
And dead is who me does cloy
Starless NightI miss the stars and seeing them for who they are,
I miss the moon, who was so white sometimes she was blue.
I miss the dreams of sailing on void black seas.
But all I have now is a blood red moon,
and stars that barley show and are so very dull.
Never OnceNever once did I think that I'd be like those other girls
That I'd want to get married and have a baby with curls
And though I want it so much, who wants to stand there?
Who wants to hold me and run their hands through my hair?

I never thought I'd want to actually get married some day
That I'd want to stand up front and throw back a bouquet
But I shall wait for that day, to stand up there with my man
I'll wait to have a house, a family, maybe one of those vans

In the darkness, he'll take me in his arms and we'll dance
I do want all of it, so someday I will take that chance
But for right now I will wait for someone that really cares
Frightful MeetingShe ran into the woods alone
Until she reached an ancient stone
A forgotten giant's ashen bone
Overgrown by moss and firs
Where there was the love of hers

But not joy guided her today
Not happiness showed her the way
As rain fell from a sky led gray
Saltwater ran down her face
When she reached their meeting place

Adorned with a ruby red stain
A body awaited her slain
Causing such unbearable pain
Whom she'd given her heart to
Now had his own cut in two

Jelousy, the bitter passion
This cruel scenery did fashion
Where he ended up as ashen
and cold as the stone and sky
Made the loved girl want to die
Heart AttackWhat have I done,
To alienate myself from her?
What do I do,
Now that I am... invisible?

It's like I can't breathe,
The world's closing in on me,
And I'm trapped
With nowhere to go.

I haven't seen her smile
For several days now,
Nor have I heard
Her angelic voice.

I'm breaking inside,
Clinging to the walls of the past,
Trying to grasp onto something,
Before I die...

Is this what it feels like,
To lose my mind,
Or is this what they call,
A heart attack?
In the EndIn the end we are all sacks of meat.
The holier-than-thou saints and the scum of the earth,
The pioneers of industry and the useless dregs of humanity,
We all share the same fate in death.

For all the good we do, for all our hard work, what do we get?
We're dumped in a nice little cherrywood box,
Tossed in the ground and covered in dirt,
And that's if they don't decide to burn us and put our ashes in a jar.

And such is the fate we are all doomed to have,
Yes, this is what we have to look forward to.
Good, evil, rich, poor, famous, unknown,
None of that matters in the end.
We kill angelsWe take the kindness for granted when
We think that we deserve it but then
The angel we owe this to falls finally
We wonder aloud and we wonder why
And over the angel we broke we cry
Still we can't see we caused it initially

It's too easy to make angels fall
While wond'ring "Where are the angels all?"
It's so easy to push them over the edge
By demanding and taking it all, yet
We never give, never repay the debt
Tell me, what excuse do we have to allege?

Oh, leeches we are, vampires feeding
On angels' hearts, don't see they're needing
Kind words once in a while, arms to hold them, too
Why do we not tell them they are precious
I
You are the Moon and I the SunWe are two people
And yet we are one
You are the moon
And I am the sun

In a perfect circle we move
Without the other, we break
As the world crumbles around us
We know the the other is not fake

You are the moon and I the sun
And together we do beat as one
To my sisterLike a sister I do love you
The sister who never was mine
Older sister I look up to
My younger sister fair and fine
And you're more than a friend to me
My twin sister with diff'rent blood
We're seperated by the sea
But to you my heart does still spud

Sometimes I curse all of the miles
You and me thousands do divide
I want to witness all your smiles
Those which are born from deep inside
I cannot hold you when you cry
And I really wish that I could
Still a dreamer's mind does fly
And it'll be with you for good

And it brought this few lines to you
Written from deep within the heart
And each single word here is true
A wish from
I Miss My FriendYou know, I always thought you'd be my friend
I never thought what we had would ever end
But everything changed when I told you about him
And now everything is bleak and grey and grim

I took a risk and told you he likes me for who I am
And yet you couldn't so much as give a damn
You were mad that I was 'leaving you' for this boy
You made me feel like nothing more than a toy

I confided in you, felt safe with you, and I miss you
But whatever we had is apparently through
So you can ignore my pain and ignore my fear
Ignore how I happy and carefree I may appear

Don't look for my love for you lost that long ago
Because it is the truth
34. MoonOne night I was aked by the moon
If I am happy
I could not reply too soon
the answer's not easy
I should have simply said "yes" and leave the moon alone up there
But instead  I said "I don't know" and the moon began to stare

All I had wanted was to dream
And gaze at the sky
But now there was the moon's gleam
Demanding reasons why
Maybe I should have turned away, ignoring the bright moon, but
Its light filled my bedroom and my window blind refused to shut

So many time you looked at me
Longing in your eyes
I wonder if you're happy
Or if you need advise
But since you never said a word I finally did ask
Say, are you hap

Disassembling Happinesswhy do the two of you fight?
Your yells keep me up at night
And I'm really taking fright

Don't make me chose between you
Can't split my love for you in two
Please remeber this is my home, too

LALALA - I can't what you say
No more whispers to lure me away
We were happy, why can't we stay?

What are those men in suits here for?
Why did you lock up that door?
Why are shards laying on the floor?

I see the vase is broken apart
I'm sure that'll hit them hard
It was a gift, it had been my art

You say it's not may fault you're mad
While tearing down all that we had
How could your love go this bad?

I want one home and not two
Don't want to choose

68. Hero

:icondiluculi:

Dear Amanda,

I am sure you do not know me
I'm part of the masses, just another fan
Another of your followers on Twitter
Your time I do not want to fritter
So, please excuse this silly letter
Normally I write poetry way better
There is no aweseome picture I can
Gift you, just this poem. You see,

I fail amazingly to draw a straight line
All I can give you are words that rhyme
As a token of my admiration
Because you are my inspiration
Ever since the day I heard one song
-it was "Sing" - I love you all along
I saw you with "Evelyn Evelyn" that one time
And that evening became the heaven of mine

I cried reading your husband's report
About the Dresden Dolls Halloween concert
Because of joy and envy, a bit
I wished I could've been part of it
But now I had this chance once more
To see the artist I so adore
This letter is written by a fan, it's overt
Who wants to show you her love and support

Though I fear it became far too long
But maybe, mabye you still read on
It's hard to write these things to you
Because normally I never do
Writing teenage poetry letters or be
All fangirly about other heroes of me
Finally I say it, it won't be withdrawn
Amanda Palmer, my hero, you made me strong!

Thanks to your music I found the strength
To be myself and stopped trying to bend
Who I am, just to fit in
Fighting a fight I couldn't win
Now I am who I am and owe this to you
Thus you are my hero and idol, too
This letter now has to come to an end
Thank you for reading it despite its length!

Sincerely yours,
one of your fans
Diluculi

Probably not my best, but written from the heart.
I felt like I was 14 again when writing it, maybe even younger.
I normally don't do any kind of fanart at all.
so bear with me here ^_^
