    Forgive me, I'll never forgive you

    We're no longer friends, we're no longer close.
    I used to deny but now I see the truth.
    You hate me, and I could say the same for myself.
    But it still hurts, a wound that can never be patched.

    So, farewell to friendship, goodbye to you.
    I'll always remember the times we had, us two.
    And I'll be forever pondering, who did wrong.
    If I was to fault, if it was I would should've made amends.

    But please promise me, "your former friend".
    To not go out of your way to ignore me.
    Stop giving me those cold hard stares.
    Move on and underneath it all, forgive me.

    *****

    How could I think of you; so kind?!
    What state was my mind in save insane?!
    You could never hurt a fly? AS IF!
    You made me tremble, you made me cry.

    Understand you're a monster,
    I was stupid enough to trust.
    I did nothing wrong, you're the one at fault.
    I'm ashamed to say we once were friends.

    I've started forgetting your name.
    Because every time its said, I hurt.
    But even if I try, I'll never forget what you did.
    And I hope you understand, Its you I'll never forgive.

    Life of the bottle
    by Lonely Romeo

    Drink from the bottle
    drink from the gun,
    all of my sentiments
    becoming undone.

    Drink from the bottle
    shot after shot,
    round after round
    all worries forgot.

    Drink from the bottle
    stager two steps,
    fall to the ground
    physically inept.

    Drink from the bottle
    as memories resume
    mistakes now forgotten
    the pain now consumes.

    Drink from the bottle
    finger on the trigger,
    bottom end up
    a life disfigured.

    Drink from the bottle
    a lifeless tomb,
    an inevitable depart
    is only assumed.

    Drink from the bottle
    and drift to sleep,
    the warmth now hides
    as darkness creeps.

    The heart finally slows,
    hand off the throttle,
    a painless escape;
    death by the bottle.

    It's not really a poem, but you DID say anything goes. If it's not okay, though, I understand.

    Shh, Little one, It's okay.
    by: Cayce

    [Shh, little one, it's okay.]
    Little shivers are continually shooting through my body. They're almost like my own personal lullaby coaxing me to sleep. Our hearts do flutter together like the wings of a butterfly. But, as I lay here tonight, on this cold, tiled, bathroom floor, I guess it doesn't matter.

    As these sins splash to the floor, my mind is in it's own race to see how many flashbacks it can reveal to my already fragile heart. Over and over, these flashbacks arrive, trying to drive me insane, but can you really drive a sociopath insane?

    Destructive words are screamed, limbs are flailing. Those horrid taboo thoughts of metallic liquid were clouding my head, again. Sometimes, I wish I could just shut my brain down, maybe, put a "back in five minutes" sign on it. [Press down harder. You want this. You need this]. Those voices are whispering to me again. I'm in a fit of passion so strong that the world around me blurs. Maybe, I've let out too many sins this time. Too many escaped. Do we need sin in our body? I didn't think so, but these black spots are getting awfully big.

    I think it's the sin that makes us human, but I want to be a goddess, so pure, so clean, so beautiful. Immortality, will we ever discover this secret? Will we ever be able to outsmart and deceive death?

    It's so beautiful how these silver sins seem to run together, rushing out like they've been trapped for so long. I saved them. I set them free. This art is making me forget your harsh, unwanted words. [That's right, sweetie, relish in the sweet flavor of hell. Bury the concern, but more importantly bury the love. You don't need him or anyone else. You just need me.]

    Laying here on this bathroom floor, I've opened my eyes. I'll drown myself in these mellifluous lies one day. Just ignore me when I scream for the truth, because really, I just want a lie.

    Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic

    by NyellMoonlight

    Ashy glances behind laced veils
    reveal inner thunders that crawl
    wearing cloaks weaved with storms-
    elegant body language whispers secrets.

    Music ignites motions, surreal-
    moving across the moonlit floors
    spinning within hues of outburst,
    swirling with such passion and grace.

    Drumbeats repaint soul
    with karmic, maroon and red ink
    writing the night away, laughing,
    as flowing attention heals wounds.

    Fingertips glide down the body
    hypnotizing traces of reasoning,
    complimenting ardent silhouette
    which sways amongst the stars.

    Every little thing she does is magic,
    dazzled by diamond fantasies,
    with silver glistening within pupils-
    elegant body language whispers secrets.

    The Life Neglected: A Walk Through Our Future Past

    This life neglected,
    Before its' end.
    Rip down the walls
    This Earthen prison, bare
    Those who come, beware
    Be very ware.

    Dead flowers,
    Crushed 'neath scarred feet
    Shards of broken glass,
    Cutting deep
    Mirror of revealing cracks,
    A hidden destiny

    Pictures of old,
    Crumbling to ash,
    These lives of
    Stories never told
    A waiting fate behind
    The smiling faces

    Vines entwined
    Choking gnarled trees,
    Dead leaves hiding
    What lies beneath
    The life neglected
    Before its' end.

    Ardent Wolf and Frozen Wanderer

    by DarkSpirit

    I'm raised in a library
    yet, I am afraid
    of every lethal script
    that glided down your frigid lips.

    Open the book of life
    and tear every bloody letter
    which swims between colossal absurdities.
    Guide me, guide me longly
    because, somehow I'm, after all,
    totally alone.

    I collect screams through the mornings
    when I played a part of metal leader;
    darkened fires in my eyes
    merged with purified souls.

    Open the book of life
    and tear every bloody letter
    which swims between colossal absurdities.
    Guide me, guide me longly
    because, somehow I'm, after all,
    totally alone.

    This dream will never end-
    the past is projector of the wounds
    and I hate, hate these
    covers of hereditable madness.
    I live a life like hanged cat-
    not alive nor dead I make mistake
    while the sun is a target of contempt.

    Beautiful, nameless faces
    hold my hands while I
    for their skin don't care.
    I am a traitor of honor,
    played a priest, dishonoring gods-
    I'm a exiled beast within humans body
    who builds his life on empty foundations.

    Open the book of life
    and tear every bloody letter
    which swims between colossal absurdities.
    Guide me, guide me longly
    because, somehow I'm, after all,
    totally alone.

    Fear's Comeuppance
    By: Brittney Schmelter

    Long twisted fingers stroking up and down your spine
    His cold lips brushing against your ear, shivers arise
    Dark brown eyes keep you entranced making you blind
    Slowly his hand creeps down your leg then up your thigh.

    Moaning he moves his mouth nibbling across your skin
    You remain motionless, unable to breath, unable to stop
    Feeling his breath on your neck makes your world spin
    Outside you've surrendered, inside slides a teardrop.

    Rough hands press down, you finally feel emotion: fear.
    On top of you he stares deeply into your innocent eyes.
    He leans foreword and speaks quietly but enough to hear:
    "Nascentes mormur. Postatem obscuri lateris nescitis."

    Twining his fingers in yours, there's no chance of rescue.
    Trailing his long tongue down to your neck from your ear.
    He bites above your heart, it threatens to burst from you
    Looming above you he continues, but the end never nears.

    Eternity seems to pass, yet the future still remains ahead
    He lays down beside you and twirls a finger along your skin.
    Emotion starts to choke you, inside you're filled with dread.
    You yearn for comfort and love, but its only you and him.

    He pulls you closer and though you hate him, you relax.
    While crying on his chest, he gently smooths your hair.
    He pulls you into his lap and your body quickly reacts.
    You shudder violently, its all more than just a nightmare.

    Trapped in the field of dreams you and him lay together.
    A part of you loves him, and the other loathes his being.
    Never can you leave, caged inside with him forever.
    Constantly saying: "I wish I could only be dreaming."

    Nascentes mormur. Postatem obscuri lateris nescitis.

    From the moment we are born, we die.
    You don't know the power of the darkside.

    --------------------------------

    Broken Heart

    Your soft voice
    Your gentle touch
    I wonder if you know
    You mean this much
    I remember when we met
    Those first spoken words
    You captured my heart
    As if it were a bird
    That moment changed my life
    You helped me get rid of any strife
    We were so happy together
    I thought you would be mine forever
    Now you say we're drifting apart
    Why are you trying to rip my heart out?
    We shared so much together
    I can never forget
    When I look back
    I know I will not regret

    The Truth Was Embedded In Our Lies.
    by Vulgar Sympathy

    I can't walk these empty halls without hearing those words slip past your quivering lips;
    Along with a bunch of insincere apologies, which I'm almost positive I've heard before.
    But that's okay.
    One more lie can't hurt, so we can just toss it into the fire along with everything else that's beautiful.
    I need a band-aid or two, hell maybe three or four, because there's a feeling that old wounds are being rehashed. And I don't like it. Not at all.
    Your feet keep walking all over me, but that's okay because I suspect that I'm doing the same.
    And I won't lie: there's so much blame but I'll admit that I feel the slightest bit better when I place it all on you.

    You've twisted my words just like you twisted this world -
    and I'm still standing here as a chaotic mess wondering what I'm looking for.
    Because it's not you. It never was.
    You were just a misleading truth that took too much trouble in dragging me down from my cloud.
    When I was capable of surviving on my own. I swear.
    And some may look at this as another poem to add to list, with a bunch of jumbled words and hidden meanings...
    But the truth is: I don't need you. I never did.

    Shame No More

    Eyes that tell the truth,
    Lips that tell the lies,
    Inside, lost and abandoned,
    Each day a piece of her dies.

    She looks and sees this person,
    She doesn't know who she's become,
    Once so strong and beautiful,
    But she feels her time is done.

    She must move on from here,
    Leave her past behind,
    Use the pain to lift her up,
    And free her lonely mind.

    No longer will she be a victim,
    Or shy from her reflection,
    Hurt is just a part of life,
    From that there's no protection.

    She'll lose the shame, she's come to learn,
    And pride will take its place,
    She'll take the time to live and love,
    Find a warm embrace.

    She'll find those eyes that tell the truth,
    And lips that tell no lies,
    She'll pack her bags, moving on,
    And say no last good byes.

    She'll leave behind the hurtful words,
    And fists that stole her will,
    She'll find the courage to never look back,
    The strength to climb that hill.

    The mirror will no longer shame her,
    The bruises all have gone,
    She'll find her path and walk it,
    As sure as night turns into dawn.

    Submission

    The chill spreads throughout my body,
    his fingers are crawling up my side,
    tracing dark circles in my scarred skin,
    like spiders as they move higher, leaving nowhere left to hide.

    I think I must be melting into the pleasure of his hands,
    a drug echoing throughout my tortured shell, a new game to play,
    numbing the pain and slowing the tears,
    giving me blissful heaven instead of hell, a thread starting to fray.

    His touch starts to grow faster, more urgent,
    trailing purple lines of fire through my mind,
    I gasp, the flames flowing into my throat and lungs,
    my skin burning, our bodies entwined.

    Whispers come hazily through my ears,
    poison slowly feeding acid flame,
    the pain returning much too strongly,
    my sanity twisting, never to be the same.

    I try to fight his darkness,
    as it overcomes my tongue,
    slowing my ravaged thoughts and brain,
    yet I wait eagerly for what I am to become.

    A snarl, a roar, a scream of pain, escaping from my mouth,
    my charred body changing from its ugly, human shape,
    a animal hunger born from the relentless tears that were inside,
    from this creature breaking out, I know there's no escape.

    The wind laments, saddened by the choking smell of death,
    but it only fuels the red, and I'm tearing at my own flesh,
    his eyes are flashing wildly as they brim with alien light,
    looking at his hands and mine, I'm surprised to see them mesh.

    A dance begins, a ceremony,
    in the flickering of the heat,
    my blood spurting to the blackened ground,
    and we both stop so we can eat.

    I drink it in, this elixir of life,
    it's essence soothing to my sores,
    the cuts on my wrist burning but I just lick them in dismay,
    this hunger to consume myself, filling my burning core.

    His teeth are sharp, so beautiful, as they reach for my bare neck,
    and my mouth looks longingly for his, plunging into fiery vein,
    I drink, saturating myself with this new color, as he does the same to me,
    like butterflies, or tigers, creatures never to be tamed.

    I think, I must be melting, into the pleasure of his fangs,
    a drug shattering my brain as I slowly fall away,
    surrendering to bliss, forever, the gorgeous darkness of his eyes,
    my hands entwined with his...the thread already starting to decay.

    Life and death

    When you see your life flash before your eyes
    and you realize how much you enjoy life
    you make a decision to either live or die
    and you cheat death one more time
    or you accept fate and won't do the crime
    you learn to value the sweet scent of a fruit
    and the sight of just looking at loot

    its when your in the darkness
    and you think your about to die
    that you wish you saw the light
    you learn what you should have in life

    don't take for granted your next meal
    and the next sight you see
    because remember
    there are blind and people who can't eat
    there are people called the dead that breathe
    they die inside and lost value on life
    don't let this be your strife

    Rejection vs. Sympathy

    Don't worry about me,
    It's all for {your} sake.
    I'd save the "Oh!"'s for oxygen,
    {If} you knew what was best.

    But apparently you don't.
    You've got {me} wrapped up in this,
    A web of lies, anger, and confusion.
    I'm waiting for the {perfect} moment.

    And, {obviously}, you can't see that.
    You just see the outside.
    You want me to wait? Fine, I will.
    But if the moment passes you by, sorry.

    {You're} the one who gave instruction.
    I never said I'd reject it,
    I {said} I'd give an answer by Thursday.
    42 hours isn't {too} long of a wait, is it?

    Sorry, "sweetie" but I'd rather give you less
    Than what you want, instead of signing my name.
    Like you said, "It's not permanent,"
    Was that a {hint} of sarcasm? Of course.

    I'm getting a sense you're getting tired,
    Of all these requirements and pronouns,
    But it's you {vs.} my heart {vs.} popular demand.
    And tomorrow {might} just make a difference.

    ----
    Oh, What A Wonderful World

    The <> marks in front of sentences mean a person is speaking from the past. Just thought I'd put that in there. :].
    --------------------------------------------------------

    I remember telling you it was okay to cry, but you were ugly when doing it.

    I've always said to myself, "Oh, what a wonderful world." Then I met you.

    The tears on your face are speaking louder than you've spoken in years. Please, just take my hand. It's just another risk you'll have to be willing to take.

    I know the mirror looks nothing like how you feel, but Baby, I'm the same way. And you have to realize that mirror can't see your soul like I can.

    <How can you understand when I'm the one to blame? I make mistakes you don't know about.

    The answer is: Yes, I'm insane,> You had pleaded with me; I remember the choke in your voice. Please, tell me those aren't tears . . .

    <But that never mattered when I alone was the one to blame.>

    You had said this with sadness and sarcasm in your voice. I also remember -- as brightly as the sun is shining now -- you had a glimmer in your eye like you thought I had been judging you.

    //I'm not judging you now.
    //You look beautiful.

    I had smirked at those eyes at that time. That glimmer in your now noncontagious eyes had burned like a chemical fire, and I thought I'd never loose my smile. You then narrowed those dangerous eyes as if you were intimidating.

    //You are now. And as if telling you could bring your breath back again -- I did loose that smile.

    I remember those words like you had said them yesterday and maybe it was just yesterday. However, since you've left, the tears have never been the same. Somehow they're more bitter -- saltier, perhaps -- and they burn at the eyes. They're burning even now, as I take this hour glass back a bit.

    <What's giving up if you're already lost?>

    And as a quiet after thought:

    <Some of us don't mind it, being lost.>

    I wish I could have seen the real contemplation within your eyes. But I hadn't. Now, as I replay every aspect of your eyes in my head, I see it. I wish at that time I could have taught you how to sing . . . I've wished before I could teach the world to sing, but I always thought we'd all be out of tune. Now, I realize we're all just singing separate notes to a very minor chord.

    You could have sang the world I taught you.

    But you didn't.

    Instead, you wrote lies on your paper, so simple and lined.
    And then you sang:
    "She puts the bullet right through her head ----

    ----it goes right through me."

    You Love Me [Not]

    Beautiful lies twirling to pupils exposed.
    You love me, you love me NOT.
    Lively footsteps chanting to what awaits
    You and I [FOREVER], disengaged.

    Shadows of your painted walls;
    Deep-bruised my broken soul.
    Broken vows mutedly proclaimed
    As crystal tears are [now] freed.

    East and nightfall will unite,
    Mist of my haggard heart
    -Now says, inhale the exuberance;
    Of your sweetest DEATH [never to reunite].

    Life without love, a battle destined to fall.
    [Nothing but] Fools baseless fears
    [Must be drown] For all time.
    I see you in distress, I [Now] smile.

    Soaring Into the Sun

    "Don't fly too close to the sun my child,
    Your wings will melt and burn."
    This may be a lesson
    That I, myself should learn.

    The big bright burning ball of flame,
    Ablaze with your beaming grin.
    Lures me to my certain end,
    And calls me from within.

    I cannot resist answering,
    Its tempting invitation.
    Its promises of happiness,
    A forever of elation.

    I must get closer to the flames,
    To feel their blistering heat.
    To feel their warmth upon my skin,
    So deadly yet so sweet.

    My wings may melt and I may fall,
    So long as you are there,
    To catch me when I fall from grace,
    Into the sun I'll dare.

    Infatuation

    Born in beauty,
    Caressing night,
    Within her eyes,
    Stars shine bright.

    No clouds in sight,
    We view the moon,
    Just out of reach,
    And gone too soon.

    The sun, my sweet,
    Does not compare,
    To the light,
    Your soul does bare.

    Supple lips,
    Rosy cheeks,
    The wind it whispers,
    As she speaks.

    The heart does flutter,
    Passion burns,
    When she leaves,
    And then returns.

    A subtle grace,
    I've come to know,
    Learned to love,
    And can't let go.

    Absolute Perfection

    If I was perfect
    Would you love me?
    if i started wasting away,
    Would you finally see?

    I hurt inside;
    it's not just a hunger pain.
    it's me hoping that one day
    you will remember my name.

    I am just another person
    that takes up precious space.
    If i purge a couple pounds,
    will you recognize my face?

    I am sorry for being this;
    A blatant disappointment.
    I will not breathe
    if i don't have your consent.

    I'll do what i can
    To make myself beautiful.
    To achieve absolute perfection...
    To be perfect is crucial.

    If thin is what you want,
    Then thin I shall be.
    I just want you to notice;
    I'm starving for you to see.

    You are perfect for me
    and I for you.
    If it means anything at all...
    I'm down to 102.

    Eating is a sign
    Of a true sinner.
    For you I will do anything...
    For you I will be thinner.

    Not Guilty
    ------------

    He walks to the stand
    And listens to the judge
    He's testifying now and
    Lying to the one above

    "I didn't hit her,
    So help me God.
    She's my daughter.
    I could never be that harsh!"

    I laughed when I heard him
    The judge glared at me
    The man's eyes went dim
    And I thought of what may soon be

    Maybe they'd listen
    Maybe they'd care
    Maybe they'd fix it
    Maybe it would all be swell

    He stood up
    And walked to his seat
    The judge called a recess
    And got to his feet

    An hour later
    I was back in that room
    We were called to order
    And I knew I was doomed

    The jury read the charges
    And I gripped my chair
    They paused for the answer
    And at them I glared

    "We find Dean*,
    Charged with abuse and child molestation.
    Not Guilty,
    Due to no evidence"

    I stood in a rage
    Ready to fight
    But my lawyer held me back
    With all of his might

    The man called my father
    Walked out of the door
    As I, his daughter
    Fell to the floor

    ROAD of DESTINY

    I feel the darkness of the night,
    the sun it never came.
    Running round in circles,
    so long that i remained,
    to be lost within the dark,
    free from light I fall.
    Please help me off this ride,
    unto the gods I call.

    Please just open up to me,
    . your arms of love serenity.
    My road traveled destiny.

    Bound by laws cast in blood,
    demons guard the gates.
    A walking soul of torment,
    of seething lust and hate.

    No way out I never saw,
    the hand that you put forth,
    With blinders on i turned away,
    and chose a different course.

    Please just open up to me,
    . your arms of love serenity.
    My road traveled destiny.

    The Swan and the Raven ((Sorry it's long >_<))

    Said the swan to the raven,
    "Come dance with me child
    I'll show you a new world
    Gentle and mild
    Come down from your branch friend
    An honour it be
    To join in sweet music with one such as me."

    'Ha!' croaked the raven, and cackled with glee,
    ''Why would I deign to mingle with thee?
    I have better to do
    Foolish lake child
    Than waste my time talking with you!"

    Ha-haa! Raven, up in your tree,
    The dance of the swan could set your black heart free,
    A-haa! Raven, foolish you be
    The white prince of the lake could have danced with thee!

    The nightingale listened
    He knew every word,
    A moderate, gentle, wisdom filled bird
    He flew to his friend
    The swift little wren
    And told the child what he had heard.

    Said the wren to woodpecker,
    'Here's what was told...'
    And recounted the tale of the raven so cold,
    The woodpecker listened
    With eyes made of gold
    To how the swan had been so bold.

    Ha-haa! Raven, a little bird said
    You could have escaped, but you scorned him instead,
    A-haa! Raven, what went through your head
    When you made the lake child feel no better than dead?

    The swan, bitter, swimming alone,
    With only a title, not even a throne,
    Thought, quiet, brooding and still
    Of why his fair raven rejected his skill.

    The raven perched silent,
    Motionless 'till
    The woodpecker knocked on the tree with his bill,
    "Hark, raven, I come bearing news
    Your harsh mental blows left the swan with a bruise."
    Unmoved, the raven just cackled and spoke,
    "That idiot's ego is not mine to stroke!"
    The messenger cried "His heart you have broke!"
    "I do not care, woodpecker, let the fool choke."

    Ha-haa! Raven, empty and bound
    A wonderful paradise you could have found,
    A-haa! Raven, you'll never be sound,
    The bondage of sorrow is too tightly wound.

    Said the swan to the raven,
    "Come dance with me"
    Sliced down the reply before it was let free,
    "You have no choice, an order it be
    Come dance with me, raven
    With feathers of coal,
    Dance or I seperate body and soul."

    Ha-haa! Lake child, with words like a blade,
    Look at the wound in your love you have made,
    A-haa! Lake child, watch your heart fade
    You destroyed your soul with the death you just bade.

    So the nightingale a melody sung
    And danced the birds as through the forest it rung,
    The swords and the daggers caught in the wind,
    Darting and dipping, diving and ripping
    The little bird twittered although his heart stung.

    Ha-haa! Loveless, come meet your end
    The raven and swan bird who could never bend,
    A-haa! Loveless, watch your hearts rend,
    Caught on the thorns of a rose you can't tend.

    The nightingale silenced,
    The woodpecker still,
    The wren, she stared on as her eyes had their fill
    Of a snowy pure body
    Of drowned misery,
    And a motionless shadow, caught in its tree.

    Cliche Teen

    Fingers reaching down your throat
    Needing to make yourself choke
    Binge on food, pizza, doughnuts, cakes
    Eat until there's no more you can take
    Watch your weight start to drop down low
    See just how far your body can go
    Starve yourself for weeks, just waste away
    Have it all, yet you watch your life decay

    Make a tiny cut, just one or two
    Place razor on arm, slice it through
    Burn yourself, let skin feel the pain
    Cry and wonder if you're truly insane
    Razor's your friend, a sharp piece of glass
    Watch blood trickle down as your heart beats fast
    Lie about inner feelings, pretend all is well
    Don't let anyone know you're headed to hell
    Hide all the scars, never let them show
    Pain stays hidden though you're gonna blow

    Suffer in silence, never ask for someone's help
    Feeling you're insane cause of pain that you've felt
    Wake up each morning, plaster a smile on your face
    Thoughts stroll across your mind saying you've no place
    When people stop and ask, shrug and say I'm fine
    Even though you're thinking 'wish happiness was mine'
    So many ways to completely tear yourself up
    Not blaming yourself, but simple bad luck
    Tried one or two, so why not try them all
    No one cares, just another teen about to fall

    Smoke a couple joints, pop a couple pills
    When the bong bowls empty, ask for a refill
    Who gives a damn drugs are messing with your mind
    All you're thinking is 'how did I fall so far behind?'
    Your friends are getting worried, no longer know who you are
    But you think to them, you're just another fallen star

    Sit silently alone, in your hands an alcoholic drink
    Drinking so much you find it hard to think
    Pour glass after glass, all the time needing more
    Drink yourself into oblivion, not far to go
    Discard the glass, go straight for the bottle
    Recalling when you were the perfect role model
    Alcopops, cider, vodka, gin rum and beer
    try your hardest to drown all of your fears
    Who cares it's damaging your liver, kidneys and heart
    You're no longer whole anyway, but ripped apart

    Yeah, I've tried all of the above, in every way
    Spent so many days doing nothing but pray
    Listening to criticism and spiteful cold names
    Spent so many years feeling nothing but shame
    I've binged and starved, shoved fingers down my throat
    Lied about happiness when in fact my heart was broke
    It's true I cut and burned, made scars on my arms
    Wondering how I'd been driven to dangerous self harm
    Even perfected the most beautiful, lying smile
    When under the mask I was filled with guile

    Smoked countless joints, made myself completely numb
    Yet always wondering when happiness would come
    Drank to much, causing me to fight and shout
    Continued drinking to the point where I blacked out
    All these destructive ways, I've used to help me cope
    Never realizing it was these making me choke
    Simply stopped focusing on all my hopes and dreams
    Became my worst enemy, another cliche teen
    Yeah I've tried them all, blaming everything on bad luck
    Then I got over them, why? Because I grew up.

    It Only Hurts When I'm Breathing.
    by Sociopathetic xLolax

    Understand how you suffocate me,
    and the pain you put me through.
    It only hurts when I'm breathing,
    Your scent kills if I'm next to you.

    Just leave me the hell alone
    the air is just to much to take
    one more breath of your scent
    and my lungs will surely break

    Get the hell away from me!
    Why don't you, can't you realize:
    You've intoxicated the atmosphere,
    With your f------ putrid lies.

    You're giving me f------ cancer
    Through what's left of my soul.
    What's worse is what you took,
    and how my innocence you stole.

    It only hurts when I'm breathing..
    But I can survive without breath,
    So f--- you and everything you did,
    Your actions will not cause my death.

    Tomorrow, and tomorrow and tomorrow

    Randomly I learned language of Gods
    and then cursed their names through the window,
    glowing silence leaked through my veins
    while I spoke with Rhamon and Stinger.

    Rhamon was the ghost of Undead
    he symbolically ate his victims
    and then he made bonfires
    and aimed at the sky with poisoned arrows.

    Stinger was a guitarist once broken inside
    he cut off his platinum hair and built a church,
    went to the islands and painted over shores;
    he was my idol and my guide through the dark.

    Tomorrow Rhamon will suffocate my entity
    and repair it with implements of fear.
    And tomorrow Stinger's sacraments will
    haunt me in my dreadful dreams.
    and tomorrow I'll die.

    Randomly I learned language of Gods
    and then cursed their names through the window,
    glowing silence leaked through my veins
    while I spoke with Rhamon and Stinger.

    Beautiful Sunday

    Blue skies watch as we lay below the trees
    The grass so cool beneath you and me

    A shimmering glint of sunlight swims through your eyes
    I couldn't help but stare into them as the day passed us by

    Your skin, sun kissed and dampened from the afternoon heat
    Left my lips feeling tender and my soul oh so sweet

    The tickle of your breath was enough to make me melt
    It was the most beautiful sensation I have ever felt

    That moment in time as our two souls became one
    Was when my soul praised God for what He had done

    And all these things I write because in fear, to you I cannot say
    But I promise, my love, never to forget that one beautiful Sunday

    Leaving A Letter...

    by TwistedAngel xx

    Rip the paper out the book
    grab a pen and take a look
    make sure no one sees me now
    I must write this, must write somehow

    start with a greeting to all who are near
    writing and trying not to shed any tears
    writing of memories hidden deep inside
    telling them just why I always wanted to hide

    finishing with goodbyes and a tender loving kiss
    to all those near and dear I will sorely miss
    fold it and write on the front, "to anyone who cares"
    leave it there, I walk away. We'll see just who dares

    grabbing the rope, i start hanging it high
    since no one is here, I can finally cry
    tie it in a knot, check it once, check it twice
    everyone thinks I always happy, super nice

    slipping my head in, feet tiptoe on the chair
    just one kick and I'll no longer be there
    all it will take it just one push, no more
    I am gone now, waiting behind that white door

    my lifeless body swings this way and that
    chair has fallen over, right next to the cat
    some people are coming, I can hear them right now
    door slowly opens, they begin to all howl

    they take my body and put it away
    they grab the letter and read it and say
    "Why did she do it? Why did she die?"
    that is something that I only know why

    they cry as my body is buried deep down
    they turn to each other, they all start to frown
    now I am gone, I am no longer there
    that is just something they'll have to bear

    So I am sorry, so sorry, that it all came to this
    and now my presence you'll gravely miss
    but now I am somewhere where I can be free
    somewhere where I can be me, happily.

    Tomorrow is the last day, so get them in everyone. (:

  • Teria

    24 more to go through, lol.
    I'm very glad there was this kind of turnout.

    I'll go ahead and tell prizes and how the judging will be done.

    First off I read the poem, then again outloud. I base my explanation [which is given for each poem] of who will/willnot win on how much I enjoyed the poem, grammical errors, the way it's set up, emotion, and the flow.

    It's hard to get above a 4/5 [in a contest] from me, very hard. So, if you're poem isn't great/excellent, then you won't get that rating. And, in the end the rating is what bases the winners.

    -

    Any person with anything above a 4/5 on their poem [out of the first four there is already 2] will get prizes.

    The prizes are the same for everyone with that score - 20 comments.
    EXCEPT for the [best] poem, which will get 40.
