I actually am more of a Coheed and Cambria fan... I saw them play in Austin last weekend. They did a phenomenal job...their set was 2 1/2 hours! It was amazing. Totally worth every penny and all the sweat that got on me from the people standing around me at 3rd row center :D

Who Can Measure Love?
By Devon Riggan

They taught her love hurts;
love is pain,
robbing her of innocence
With their masquerade, their game.
But who can measure love...
Its depth, its width, its height?
She searched the whole world over
Hoping there was more to life.

At last she found herself at the river's edge
staring at her own reflection,
It was then she felt her heart swell
with self love and affection.
She let the wind wipe clean her memory...
the current wash away her affliction.
Again she thought,
Who can measure love,
its depth, its width, its height?
She searched the whole world over
never dreaming it'd be herself she'd find,
Now knowing there is more to life.

For her love knows no conditions,
It is precious, priceless, and cannot
be measured.
Cannot be captured or bound.
When she looked within herself,
True unconditional love was found.
For who can measure love,
its depth, its width, its height.
She searched the whole world over
and found there is more to life than strife.

I filled up at $2.93 in San Antonio on Sunday

Thank you, msteddybear :)

Thanks =]

I used the symbol tool in word and copied it over. But I believe you can also do it by holding the ALT key and pressing 0169 on the number pad (only the number pad keys will work for it)

I wrote this after an ex cheated on me..so...I was a bit angry. It has passed, lol..

Violence
By Devon Riggan

Shattered glass upon the floor
Much like the shattered heart you left behind
My broken heart, my broken trust
And all the violence left inside

I pound my fists upon the walls
Scream aloud that you shall die
For breaking me, for leaving me
With all this violence left inside

Pouring rain streams down my face
Lightning flashes through my eyes
Everything is centered now
On all this violence left inside

And then I see you
And I can hear you
As you try hopelessly
To scream

But you are mine
No one can hear you
As I tear you apart
By the seams

Bleeding corpse upon the floor
Where shattered glass you once could find
My bloodied hands, my avenged soul
And still this violence left inside

Faces
Devon Riggan

…complex and intricate lines define the many places

where time and experience share an integrated stasis

slowed by the infinitesimal pathways uncovering a design

to fashion and mold the intricate character as a classic wine

yet many hide behind the cloak of a persona common

in the nature protecting the fragilities of bruised egos fallen

to several devices that perpetuate concealing misguided deeds

with the conceit and the deception growing wildly as weeds

only to wonder if the reality of truth is at a mythical end

giving credence to a manifest destiny one can no longer bend

then comes the realization that time has consumed life's stages

with the arrow of existence captivated in human wages…

Aww, thanks :)

Thanks :) and I write poetry a lot, yes.

I have been for the last 6 or 7 years.. just a way to get my thoughts and feelings out :)

No Place for Me
Devon Riggan

To change life
into narrow strips,
a sarcastic smile,
hanging at acid lips
it must be what it is,
a scale of harvest,
no kind of fruit to miss,
no dream, no wish,
a yawn of answers,
easy to fulfill,
sweet imagination,
there to kill,
only reality,
hard and clear,
at the tv, the news;
tasteless sensation,
blood and fear,
roll the thoughts
over every tear,
drink away
what isn't there;
the love, the warmth,
the fantasy,
at narrow roads,
nothing is free,
it will never be,
a place for me.

Thank you :) I have a bunch more. I was bored and saw some people posting their poetry so I decided I would. =]

Inside the Mirror
By Devon Riggan


She looks at her own reflection
Staring with eyes of inspection
Flaws is all she's able to see
A smile inside unable to be set free

But I see her as if inside the mirror
Looking at her hold back tears
A beautiful heart and beautiful face
Feeling like she has no place
But so many who would die to be
The person whom she can not see

The one I look at from inside
The sorrow she is unable to hide
She's beautiful in every possible way
If she'd only learn to live in today

Golden heart with invisible scars
Her happiness locked behind bars
A weak knee ready to lean
A closed mouth ready to scream
A frigid heart afraid to break
Because this time it might not recuperate
Destined eyes with a history of cries
Confront her and there are only lies

Why can't she live the life she dreams
Or finally let out her held back screams
Why can't she smile at herself
Just forget the tomorrow and live without fear..

Why can't she just see what I see;
Looking at her from inside the mirror.

Yessss :D I have 1,2 and 3. Beat the first two on expert, and almost 3. I've got tier 8 left to do plus the last boss song :)
