    Starlight

    The road dark and desolate like her mind
    A silver heart and thorn-less rose on a chain
    Lying warmly on her center of her collarbone
    Tucked under her crimson red shirt and jacket
    Tonight wasn't the reason it belonged there
    It was her loyal and hidden tribute he earned
    The vehicle slowed and stopped in a clearing
    In her drunken passion she saw him watching
    When the symbol of his true love for her
    Glimmered reassuringly in the beautiful starlight

    Why was he so effortlessly following the tracks
    That were left unmade in the woods they toured
    Her openly unmeaning offer of herself was enough
    For the truth in her actions shone as bright as bark
    To him she was everything, to her he was a memory
    That she just couldn't recall under tonights power
    The reason he glided amongst trees without crashing
    Meant her lost love and betrayal finally caught him
    He wasn't a mirage, or a dream, he watched her
    Leaving the blood of his heart to glimmer in starlight

    Asleep she lay with him haunting her confused state
    Making her aware that something couldn't fit
    The traitor next to her was not the one she wished
    The heart on her chest reminded her of his fatal cry
    Yet he couldn't be dead because he was still breathing
    Beside her he lay smiling warmly as he dreamed
    Wait! That wasn't the one she longed for at all
    She thought about all that she drank and wished
    That he would wait for her somewhere for her love
    All the lone stranger saw were bodies and a knife
    Cold and lonely glimmering in the hopeful starlight

    "New Beginnings"

    Everything was perfect with us,
    I knew we would last a lifetime.
    You're the perfect one for me,
    The only one that I want.

    But now I know it's not happening,
    Since the day you said, "It's over."
    My heart was torn into pieces,
    When you said, "I don't love you."

    Now I have to move on with my life,
    This horrible life without you.
    It's gonna be hard to move on,
    But my strength will keep me going.

    One day you'll realize what you left,
    When you realize how much I really care.
    But by then it will be too late,
    Because you will out of my life.

    "My Eternity"

    Since the first day I saw you,
    I knew you were the one.
    Everyday that passes by,
    You keep me strong.

    Those sweet words you say,
    Stay deep inside my heart.
    You're the love of my life,
    The only one I live for.

    I'm proud to say you're my man,
    We'll be together for eternity.
    There will never be anyone else,
    Who makes me happy like you do.

    No flaws seen,
    No lies spoke,
    Nothing hides beneth,
    Her hopes,
    Head held high,
    She speaks her mind,
    So kind,
    Yet mean,
    To hard to believe,
    She is perfect,
    Yet near imperfect,
    She's stuck in time,
    And she start's to find flaws,
    She start's to tell lies,
    She notice's that no one has perfection inside,

    "Angel"
    By: Briana Coulter

    He says she's an angel,
    but nobody ever sees.
    No one gives her the time of day,
    to show them what she can be.

    She says he's an angel,
    but nobody knows who he is.
    No one really cares,
    about the achievements of his.

    They're both angels,
    lost together in this life.
    They're inspiration for each other,
    to put down the knife.

    He says she's his angel,
    the one for all time.
    She'll be there for him,
    until the end of the line.

    She says he's her angel,
    the one she can't be without.
    He's loved her from the beginning,
    there was never any doubt.

    They're both angels,
    lost together in this life.
    They're inspiration for each other,
    to put down the knife.

    He says she's the angel,
    that's he's opened up his heart for.
    She looked into his eyes,
    and walked in the door.

    She says he's the angel,
    who'll rid her of her fears.
    He's the only one,
    who's ever wiped away the tears.

    They're both angels,
    lost together in this life.
    They're inspiration for each other,
    to put down the knife.

    Btw, where you make posts for no reason other then you're bored and no one is joining in your contest, that is called unnecessary bumping and you could get your thread locked because of it. just thought I'd let you know :)

    Stained Glass

    Staring through the stained glass
    [Of lost memories and dead thoughts]
    All the while thinking of you,
    Of all the happiness you brought...

    Looking through the stained glass
    [As you rewrite your life's sorry tale,]
    Pen poised, bright eyes a-glimmer
    As you forget the ones who failed...

    Watching sorrowfully through the glass,
    [Which is stained with blood, and cracked,]
    As your maid brings in the yellowed letter,
    Containing the memories which flood back...

    You remember all those old times together
    Of games, good fun, jokes and quiet smiles,
    [With the malice and the hatred always hiding,
    Always waiting, always hating, all the while...]

    You remember how you betrayed us all
    With a glittery smile and a little wave,
    [Did you think that ALL of us would forget
    Your dreams, your hopes, your suspicious ways?]

    Well, obviously, we didn't ALL forget completely,
    Because I've come back for you, haven't I?
    [But, just so you really know what you're dealing with,
    All I remember of you are your lying lips and face that I despise...]

    Glaring silently through the cold stained glass,
    As you re-apply your wonderful, deceitful smile,
    [Just so you know, so you're not surprised
    I'm going to be waiting for you for a while...]

    "Perfection" [Triquatrain]
    By: Briana Coulter

    She's breaking down, she hides her frown.
    But they all see perfection.
    Deep inside she's broken, and too soft spoken.
    She refuses to show affection.

    She acts alright, she'll smile so bright.
    But truthfully she's not even here.
    Just one more time, this isn't a crime.
    She won't cry another tear.

    She can't do it all, she'll tape the note to the wall.
    As the blood flows down her arm.
    This is all she knew, they had not a clue.
    She continues her self harm.

    She'll be fine, it's the end of the line.
    They've lost their teenage perfection.
    Her secrets were kept well, not a soul she did tell.
    No one paid her enough attention.

    **A triquatrain is a style of writing that takes on the following pattern:

    a, a
    b
    c, c
    b

    d, d
    e
    f, f
    e

    g, g
    h
    i, i
    h

    j, j
    k
    l, l
    k

    & so on.. -- repeated letters signify rhymes.

    The Tomb

    Locked inside this cold, dark place,
    Where nothing warms you through,
    A heart still beats inside a chest,
    Though death's your dream come true.

    Buried deep beneath the pain,
    Of all you've loved and lost,
    The happiness you just can't see,
    Cloaked behind the frost.

    Frozen tears of bitterness,
    That melt into the mind,
    Tainting life, the sweetest fruit,
    We ever come to find.

    Lips have known the taste of love,
    Eyes have seen what's real,
    Hands of warmth have touched the soul,
    You try so, to conceal.

    This one moment steals it all,
    You give in to the fear,
    You shy away from everything,
    That wishes to come near.

    Buried in a lonely grave,
    You dug inside your mind,
    Haunted by the misery,
    You just won't leave behind.

    Angel, please.

  • NyellMoonlight

    **Angel**

    This dawn holds fractured triumph of beauty
    within magnificence of cyan eyes;
    masquerade signifies my baleful defeat-
    once hopelessly immortal, built of fractured starlight,
    now endlessly bound to garments of your soul.

    Tranquility dies;
    yet, concepts of sentiments sketch serene notions.

    Temptations dress like heinous beasts;
    mourn over my weakness, my zealot angel,
    for galaxies of sorrow overtake reality,
    until I can only hear your heartbeat.
