Sanatorium

Ryutarou Arimura:










Ryutarou's soft voice fills my ears
my body turns numb and I can't think
his music once brought me to tears
when I felt as though I'd break
Sanatorium
my favorite song of all
makes me feel like I'll fall
a relaxing melody
and painstakingly true words
form to create lyrics I heard
it's impossible to listen to just once
makes me think of those who cut
a hauntingly beautiful song
that only he could produce
turning poetry into music
singing songs about abuse
happiness and sadness
songs that don't make sense
only in his mind
come out to expose all the lies

I Hate You

"I'm sorry" wasn't good enough
and it never will be
no matter how many times you say it to me
you're not anymore, are you?
I haven't heard it in over a year
and I'm still frustrated by your every little fear
your face disgusts me and your attitude is even worse
I can't believe I ever fell to your stupid curse
you knew all along, yet still didn't care
I always thought it wasn't fair
that you could turn the other way
and continue on with your day
like I wasn't important
how I felt didn't matter
that's okay though, because I've never felt better
now that I pushed you out of my life
your voice no longer cuts through me like a knife
I'm not affected by you anymore
and I'm glad that you've finally suffered like I did before
I hope your suffering continues until you can't take any more

Sestina

wondering if he truly cares
tears her apart inside
her mind races. jumbled thoughts all over
his only concern is with power
becoming better and stronger, he can't see past
and realize exactly how she feels

known as cold-hearted, but knows he feels
he doesn't like it, especially that he cares
everything he once thought and felt is in the past
anger and frustration boil inside
his entire life was about power
those urges will continue until it's over

never wants what they have to be over
drives him mad, making it hard to feel
if he should feel, let it be more power
not that he cares
because he's only ever been a killer inside
what exactly made her see past?

because she saw past
his old life was over
though, he doesn't feel empty inside
never did. it wasn't in his nature to feel
although she did, he could never say he cares
because doing so led to less power

he was not weak; he had plenty of power
that blinded him until he could no longer see past
the reason why anyone cares
thinking it over
angry about what he feels
she always knew what lay deep inside

he'd let her. she found her way inside
and, he'd forgotten about power
striving to be better for her. seeing how she feels
long gone is the past
all he once held is over
simply because he honestly cares

frightened that he cares, it's overwhelming inside
knowing they'll never be over fuels his power
to finally see past and realize what he feels

Childhood

My childhood television shows
all the various villains and heroes
from Dragon Ball Z
to Ren and Stimpy
all were my many favorites
watched by every 90s kid
the great prince Vegeta
and the clever witch, Sabrina
super saiyans and power rangers
no one could forget teenage mutant ninja turtles
rugrats, sagwa, barney
I always found Zuko pretty charming
the bad guys were the best
Zim, Vegeta, and joker; what a villain fest!
among them all, can you guess what I liked the most?
based all upon what I wrote?
I guarantee you've seen them all
It's the famous Dragon Ball 

Uruha-sama

(Yes, I actually wrote a poem about the gorgeous man..)

his luscious lips are insanely alluring
those beautiful and gentle, yet eagerly, enchanting eyes are so captivating
the sensual way his fingers move over guitar strings
and the not-so-great way he sings
a new hairstyle every month
from his makeup to his touch
they're both sanely soft
every feature and every quirk
only add elegance to his smile and smirk
no longer revealing that silky skin
it doesn't matter, it's not a sin
a quiet, yet deep, dark voice
hardly ever makes any noise
he's perfect in every patronizingly way
I wish I could meet him some day

What I find frustrating

I find it frustrating when my music's degraded
who cares if you can't understand it?
It may be in a different language, a different style
but, you're listening to that crappy R&B all the while
You find that inspiring?
or do you think it just sounds cool?
Whatever it is, I find it cruel
Yes, mine's understandable
it actually means something
It may be Japanese or Korean
but, at least it's loving
It's more inspiring to me than any American song out there
Because the Japanese have that kind of flair
