Its Always Yours ...But Yours Was Never Mine
I apologize
I know its wrong
I should have moved on
But I cant seem to let go

I am helpless and I know
But this is too much to endure
My heart is broken and left beat less
My soul is frozen and shattered to pieces

I cant stop thinking
Though its been too long
But how can I forget a love so strong ?
Your memory still lingers
Which makes the pain worse

I gave up my heart for you
And what did I get in return ?
A hollow that struck me to the core
I sacrificed for you
And you still don't know

Desensetized
I cant feel anymore
Everything is gone with you
My existence my being
Along with the truth
And it tears me apart that you will never know
How much ache you really caused
But what can I do ?
When I can't tell the reasons I did for you
I am forced to pretend that I did not know what to do
And I have no right to feel blue.

But tell me now
How can I live through this for another day ?
Will this hurt ever go away ?
Will time heal this soreness ?
Or will I live in this whirl for the rest of my time ?

Your silence proves your betrayal.
Your heart was never mine.
You left without a goodbye.
Your silence proves your treachery.
It proves my agony.

Cold voices

Cold voices
Overshadow
A weary mind
Full of doubt,
And grief
For the man
Whom she
Loves
Will never
Love her so,

And she doubts
Her self-confidence,
Her voice is weak
From praying,
Her knees tremble,
For she knelt
On them all night
Long,
Her head aches,
For these voices
They shout
In cold monotones,
They say
Prejudiced things
That hurt her
And she dies
A little more
Inside.

She wonders
Whether it will
Ever be over,
For she wishes
For her life to end,
She wants to
Rid her mind
Of painful moments
And words, unkind.

She knows that
His love for her
Will never ever be,
For she is only one
To the world,
One to him,
But not THE one,
She is a person,
Striving to make
The best of humanity,

But the longer
She strives,
The longer
She waits,
For she never
Knows that he
May have been ready
For her,
A long time ago,
And she missed that
Chance,
And now he misses
That chance,
For he does not
Understand
What these cruel voices
Say,

He does not
Understand
That she does not
Realize or recognize
Subtle love,
That may have once been,
That may one day be,
That will never be
For he loves another

And these cold voices
Laugh
And tease,
For she will never
Feel his touch,
Know his kiss,
Learn his fears,
She will never
Experience his love

For she is only one
In a world full of others,
Brimming with
Keen, skilfull minds.
She is just about
Ready to give up,
To let go,
To commit the final act
That will save her soul,

I am almost ready
To die,
For you...

Fear's Comeuppance

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 breathe, 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 forword 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.

A Shadow at Sunset
by KindlyUnspoken

His black silhouette was a shadow
Against the beginning sunset.
The waves snaked up to his feet,
Gripping him, holding him tight.
He did not want to leave.

He thought that, maybe,
If he looked far enough out to sea,
Could he possibly see his future?
He hoped so, since any minute now
The sea would be just that.

He peeled off his jacket and smelled it:
An image of his mother crept into his mind.
As the last remaining fragments of
Her perfume still lingered on the fabric;
She had hugged him goodbye.

His shoes were perfectly polished;
Brand new, only bought yesterday.
It was a waste, really.
Along with his socks and trousers,
He placed them in the sand.

He didn't look back as he walked.
The water was cold, freezing even,
But he didn't care.
He didn't much like the heat,
Especially at night.

Heaven

by Gertrude

Still looking in the clouds
wondering if they are soft
whispering in the air
wishing that i was in heaven

cold air passes
grieving for someone
remembering the times we are together
watching the clouds to move

still asking God
why he let you go
shedding tears for you
because i totally missing you

but i have to accept the fact
that this is my Destiny
both of us will be apart
but in my heart you will always stay

and know it would come a time
that you and i will be together
again and again
now and forever

The past, the love, the memories.
(acrostic)

Time has passed, leaves have fallen,
Hearts are asunder, tears drop slowly.
Elusive love, is it still here, darling?

Pictures in my mind are still so vivid
Are they doing to blanch with time?
Seems our bliss used to have no limit
Two souls are now covered with rime

Time has passed, leaves have fallen,
Hearts are asunder, tears drop slowly.
Elusive love, is it still here, darling?

Lights of our happiness are turning off
Oh I can't hear birds singing our song
Violins don't sound like sounded before
Eternity soon has turned out to be gone

Time has passed, leaves have fallen,
Hearts are asunder, tears drop slowly.
Elusive love, is it still here, darling?

Million miles away from here you are
Even though you promised me forever,
Million miles has turned out to be too far.
Oh even though I remember your arms
Roses in my heart have started to wither
Is this in the sky a falling star?
Eh, I wish we could have been together
Seems though it is too late now.

The Right Kind Of Wrong

Tempest looks of you ignites a spark in the dark
A wildest obsession to a heart that is love-struck
Nothing can surpass sweetness smell of serenity
As you to me, I am to you, against love's misery

Who can quite foretell, to what life one must lead
When two destined souls dominated what's ahead
For no matter how they falter what we really have
Time of our re-encounter will be greater than love

A ballad continues on silently soothing our hearts
The right kind of wrong is to hear a parent's sobs
Take forth these cherished memories everywhere
On the wings of faith I'll be seeking you out there

Even if I am certain to lose that path leads to you
There will be the way you will make for me I know
A heart so true up in the sky will always be aglow
My heart, I surrender to you, forever will be true

Our Boat
by boywitnodreams

There was a time when all I had was a board
At times I was shocked I stayed alive on it
When the ocean tossed me around like a rag doll
And at times it was like I was flying in the air

Eventually I made that board into a raft
But it still wasn't much protection from the storms
I shivered from the cold day after day all alone
Slowly started to give up hope in the ocean of emotions

And then she suddenly entered my life
Magically turning my raft into a battleship
No longer afraid of the sea or those who sail it
Ready and able to defend myself from my attackers

She's my ammunition for retaliations
She's my fuel constantly driving on past my limits
She's my armor keeping me protected from others
She's my queen for whom I fight to the death for

We look out for each other on this sea
Whether it's real, mental, emotions, or something else
The sea is now a safe place for us to journey
As long as we have each other to drive the other on

Invisability

No one will ever understand

What its like to be the one left out

The one let down

And the one forgot about

No one will ever understand what its like

To be the one with no place

The one with the door slamed in your face

The one with a heart full of shame and disgrace

The one with the frown apon their face

And they wont know what its like to be

The one with the tears that role cheeks

The one that wishes to speak their mind

To be the noticed this time

Or understand how much soul went into this ryme

Most of all no one that will never know what its like to be unknown like me!

Invisability...

Learning To Fly With Broken Wings

I was just another fallen angel
Wings drooped upon the floor
There's no beauty to them
They're worth nothing anymore

Places where the utmost beauty were
Now the holes of pain reside
There's no feelings left anymore
Nothing more to hide

How much longer until this stops
The pain, the hurt subsides
When can this stop feeling wrong
When can I stop dying inside

I have to pick myself up
To make this all go away
Patch up the holes in my wings
And learn how to fly again

I may not have the perfect wings
I've always wished for and adored
But I'll have to work with what I got
And show them, my life means more

I won't let myself fall anymore
Won't let them see me cry
I'll prove them wrong, I'll get back up
And teach these broken wings to fly.

Only a Dream?

With honor in his heart
and rage in his hands
he will fight for his country
in the Mideastern sands

there he will see the ghosts
surviving shadows of a nightmare
ashes from corpses that forever stays
and haunt to our very last days

but dear soldier you shall nothing feel
you are just a machine so don't forget
to proudly kill all enemies
cause your patriotism needs to be fed

but who dares to speak inside your head?
the one that screams for the war to end
"Go home soldier, I warn you now...
Wake up son, it's time to defend"

our soldier opens his eyes
feels the warmth of his fathers essence
thank God, for this was only a dream...
and that he is safe in his fathers presence

he KNOWS that this was just a dream
and that war is far from what he felt
a patriot he is and will always be
that feeling will in his heart forever be held

though still the dream haunts his mind
while finish packing his military bag
all thoughts disappears, when he feels the glow
the glow from his countries mother-flag
