Together We Belong
I have plenty of reasons why
we probably shouldn't be together
but I only need one reason
to want to be with you forever
I know we have our issues
and sometimes we don't get along
yet we can get through anything
because baby, together we belong
I can feel it in my heart
how much you really care
and as long as you're around
you know I will always be there
They can say what they want
about how we're not meant to be
but no one can take away
the love shared between you and me
Do you ever feel as if this life
is just a pathetic everlasting game
that you can't escape from
no matter how fast you run
or where it is that you hide?
Well guess what? It's not.
You always have to keep on going,
keep moving forward
in the dark of night
or the light of day
because if you don't,
it's over for you.
Too bad.
Nobody's gonna waste their time
cryin' over you or your ignorance.
Everyone's too busy trying to make change
in the free world
or to make themselves perfect
But for what?
A pointless reward of power maybe?
Nobody's original, they're all here for the same things.
That's just the way it is,
humans were c
I stand here atop the smooth dirt
with rocks, flowers, and grass all around.
I look up at the stars
and catch a glimpse of you next to me in the moonlight.
I feel the warmth of your body press around me.
I see the moon reflected in your soothing eyes
and I begin to lose myself,
but I know that everything is allright
because you are with me now.
Nothing can go wrong.
This world
lost to despair
frightened by the unknown
controlled by hate.
These people
selfish and egotistical
virtually alone
starved of love.
The atmosphere
polluted by waste
drowning in anger
suffocating from the scent of death.
Yet we stand here
doing nothing about it
being mere byproducts of our own society.
Never to Fly Again by bearerofbitterness, literature
Literature
Never to Fly Again
I soar through the air
with the wind blowing through my wings
and the tops of the trees brushing my wingtips,
a warm thermal pushing me higher.
With my superb hearing
I pick up the sound of a click
and the blast of a gunshot
as a bullet hurtles toward me.
I hopelessly try to dodge,
but get hit in the breast.
The steady flapping of my wings is halted
as pain courses through my body.
Next, I'm plummeting toward the earth
and I think to myself,
"Why is it always the innocent?"
I take my last breath, never to fly again.
Every day that goes by
feels like another year.
Months of waiting
seem to never end.
Counting down hours
only makes time appear to have stopped.
So many nights go by
but there's always many more to come.
Being away from you
could literally kill me.
To tell you that I love you
just doesn't quite say it.
But for now,
it's all that I can do.
So babe, I just thought you should know:
I love you.
The thunder of society,
with all it's little monkeys
running to get out of the rain,
stands still as a cat.
A cat that is watching
as humans rush around in $50 jeans
saying words like "shat"
and spreading around false gossip
about some meaningless person named pat,
or teasing a helpless child
about being lazy and fat.
No one ever has the time
to watch as a leaf turns orange
and falls to the soft, trodden-on earth.
Everyone's too concerned
with creating a fire out of their lives
to observe a sunrise
and watch as the sky turns light blue.
People just don't realize what's really important
until they are about to die.
But an
You kiss me on the head as you hold me tight
and tell me everything will be okay.
All you need is some space and time
so I let myself play along with your words.
I already know that all your pathetic reasons are lies
but you tell me to believe you
so I say that I do.
It is apparent that you don't quite realize
just how much pain and sorrow you're putting me through.
Or it could even be that you don't care
because it's obvious you're not interested
in my heart or my mind.
I look into your serene eyes
searching for some small trace of truth
but I find absolutely nothing.
Warm tears begin to slide down my face
and I wonder, why
Standing here
on this lonely dirt road.
I tell myself
I must keep going,
fighting,
pushing away the deafening silence
that is slowly enveloping me,
drowning me.
A dog barks from the south
as I'm standing here;
waiting.
Snow glistens
on the ground around me,
frigid and wet.
Is anybody going to come for me?
The sun is going down now.
Probably only two hours of daylight left.
I'm almost to the point of apathy,
when a rumbling in the dirt floor
gives me a tincture of hope;
A hope that I don't have to wait anymore.
But I have no choice.
As I look
into the dense trees around me,
I get lost in my own perfidious thoughts,
w
