    "Hold Me"
    by: Briana Coulter

    Hold me tight, through the night.
    Please don't ever let me go.
    Sing to me, sing so sweetly.
    This is the best love I'll ever know.

    I love you, and everything you do.
    Just stay here with me tonight.
    Say you love me, and here you'll be.
    With me until the morning light.

    Our love is best, forget the rest.
    We were made for each other.
    You know it's true, and I do, too.
    I know we'll never find another.

    Hold me tight, through the night.
    Please don't ever let me go.
    Sing to me, sing so sweetly.
    This is the best love I'll ever know.

    "Echoes"
    by: Cyber_Saiyan

    Echoes ring through my head
    Reminding me our your voice
    Wondering what the future could have been
    And if I made the right choice.

    Echoes bounce around in my heart
    Filling it with sorrow
    Wondering when the pain will end
    If I have bitten off more than I can swallow.

    Echoes vibrate in my veins
    Carried inside my blood
    Knowing I left the best part of my life
    Preparing for the emotional flood.

    Echoes still hurt
    Deep down inside
    Certain I have made the wrong decision
    Reminding me of all the times I cried.

    Echoes torment my thinking
    Trying to grasp what I have done
    Knowing we are better apart
    Doesn't help my desperate situation.

    The echoes will stop someday
    And my heart will finally be free
    Thank you for the love you gave
    But you deserve better than me.

    Reserve: Hold Me

  • Cyber Saiyan
    16 years ago

    Hold me

    Tonight belongs to us
    Sharing the lives we have united
    Listen closely to my body
    Your appeal has made it excited.

    Glimpse into my heart
    And search through my soul
    Without the emotions you give me
    Neither of them would be whole.

    You complete my life
    Filling the empty void
    Envisioning my life without you
    I see a life destroyed.

    If you live a thousand lives
    You will never fully understand
    How you have enriched my life
    Making me a better man.

    So hold me now
    Hold on to me tight
    Let the bonds of marriage grow stronger
    As we share our feelings tonight.

    IF I WERE TO DIE TONIGHT

    So tell me mother, if I were to die tonight
    Would you regret yelling at me all those times?
    Or would it be easier to see me die?
    Would your tears be enough to mend what I feel inside?
    And make me rise from the mire I am at?

    Would you cry a tear, if I were to die tonight
    Instead of loving words to soothe my broken heart
    For I have lost the right to know who my father was
    Yet you fed me with your lies and fake smiles
    So tell me mother, if I were to die tonight

    Would it give you sorrow, if I were to die tonight
    Would it touch your heart and you would love me at last?
    Would it make you look back and remember the times?
    How every night I wanted to hug you tight?
    What I got instead is your cold back

    Now remember, if I were to die tonight
    For my heart is weary and I am in deep sorrow
    Resonance of your words hurt me every time
    You wanted me to die even if I'm not supposed to
    However, I want you to know

    It would solve my problems, if I were to die tonight
    No matter how much you may hate me
    No matter how much you screwed my life
    No matter how many scars you have left me
    I would still die tonight, just to see your smile back

    And for my contentment, please don't forget to smile...before you say goodbye...

    Great titles, really hard to chose!

    I will have "If I Were To Die Tonight" and "Not On My Own".

    Thanks a bunch!

  • xXxemzxXx
    16 years ago

    Hey can i plz reserve "Not On My Own" thanks heaps

  • xXxemzxXx
    16 years ago

    "Not On My Own"

    Not on my own...
    Is how I wish to be,
    In a room full of friends,
    Surrounding me...

    Is it too much to ask for?
    Just a little love...
    That's the question I ask,
    Mainly to the man up above...

    People call me a loner,
    For I am always by myself...
    As they say these things,
    They don't know the pain that is felt...

    I feel my life is slipping...
    Through a hollow crack in the ground...
    I search for a friend but with no one special in mind,
    But there is a problem I come across, No one is around

  • NyellMoonlight
    16 years ago

    Reserve "Oblivion" please :)

  • NyellMoonlight
    16 years ago

    Oblivion

    Ornamented with purple flowers
    obscure silhouette, unearthly,
    rested above the spirals of clouds.
    I cherished a frozen tear,
    crucified between the spectacles,
    for the last day of the Apocalypse
    enacts behind the gates of Eden.

    Ninth death echoed
    within every grain of sand,
    for our deity was a cat,
    amphibious totem
    spotted with the blood of demons.

    Ornamented with purple flowers
    obscure silhouette, unearthly,
    poisoned thunderstorms of anathemas.
    I succumbed to the last keystroke,
    locked twixt the ghouls of a golden cage,
    with chimeras that infected the abyss
    smudged across your paradise.

  • Twisted Heart

    Echoes, please

  • Twisted Heart

    Echoes
    By: Twisted Heart

    The rustle of forgotten words ring clear against the mind
    The thunder of a heartbeat's song lies stripped and so unkind
    A whisper verbrates in the soul then holds strong til the end
    Unclosed upon the moon tonight and so in need of friends

    A simple sound that rises high then sinks low in the wind
    Comes now in solace whimpers for time to take and mend
    The clash of mountains tarnished unstirred by winter's breeze
    Resounds the cry of broken hearts and also broken dreams.

    Against the moon we hide in fear the trueth of wishful souls
    The many times we cried for love but lost our tightened hold
    For life has dealt a hand of pain that seems so hard to face
    It leaves our heart in echoes without light or without grace.

    Still... sometimes in the heat of pain against the starry sky
    We hear the sound of hope and faith that somehow gets us by
    Another day we find the strength to face when all seems gone
    Within the heart of echoes we rise up and carry on.

    Date of closing extended for another week

  • TravisInABottle

    Echoes, please. : )

    [EDIT.]

    Squirm in murky lairs of hate --
    gasping, suffocation, intoxication --
    as the screams and bangs,
    moans and whispers from beyond your walls
    break through you, almost rhythmic,
    but somehow too loud to take.
    And she dances, dizzy,
    as she wanders long corridors and longer halls,
    not knowing where her feet took her but still following,
    till she reached a corner and gagged.
    As eyes shy away from it --
    Rotting, decaying, chest heaving --
    something that made for a female body.
    And as I moved closer, I smiled,
    just happy it wasn't a mirror reflection.
    Selfish. She glares, rotting further,
    her head tilting upward, questioning
    if what she's faced wasn't enough.

    Quiet, I only turn to follow
    the red that escapes her feet,
    to another room where
    the echoes of his screams and anger
    are more than what whispering walls can hold within.
    While in another sits a muttering child,
    breaking glass and lashing knives,
    not knowing what they're for,
    not knowing what he's for.
    Her son, her son who knew not where he is.
    And in part fear, part indifference
    I scrambled back to where I was,
    past the rocking chair that was never sat in,
    yet rocked with the storm that brew inside.
    I scrambled back, looking for light grilled wall to wall
    that windows didn't let in.

    And as fingers crawled, prodding, almost digging
    trying to make the tiniest hole that would let me escape,
    I found you, singing in the brightest shade of moonlight.
    Your songs muffling the screams,
    almost healing the wounds.
    Almost... If only I could touch you,
    if only I could sleep in your arms and forget
    the colors that stained the world.
    Forget the dark puddles they swam in,
    laced with oil, brushing only the surface,
    but the surface is all thats ever seen; ugly.
    And as I sob for the very first time,
    I wished the walls that made this feeble home
    would crumble...

  • Beautiful Forever

    If I read this post correctly, there is still one more slot for "Hold me" correct? So I would love more than anything to take that last slot.

    Depending on my mood, I'll take another one tomorrow morning as well. I'll have both submitted by 12pm US EST time. Thank you!

  • Poet on the Piano
    16 years ago

    Can I please unresrve? I'm sorry, I've been pretty busy, and I really can't come up with anything for the titles. Thanks for your understanding...

  • Beautiful Forever

    "Hold Me [Sestina]"

    Through all these torn emotions I believe,
    Love will find it's way to the surface,
    With arms to wrap tightly around her,
    I will become closer to her heart,
    Passionately I will convey my love,
    Until she sees how broken I've become,

    But what is a broken soul to become?
    So far gone it's lost the will to believe,
    And what is this passion called love?
    Broken inside but beautiful on the surface,
    So why do I try to open up my heart?
    Everything inside of me is screaming for her,

    All I've ever wanted was someone like her,
    She's the person I wish I could become,
    So beautiful with such a kind heart,
    Always confidant with the will to believe,
    Passion inside but nothing on the surface,
    The girl in which I want to fall in love,

    But who am I to try to fall in love?
    I'm not beautiful and kind like her,
    Does it matter what's on the surface?
    I'm full of potential in which I'll become,
    So what am I refusing to believe?
    That I could truly be pure of heart,

    We're both keeping feelings at heart,
    Trying our hardest not to fall in love,
    We're both lacking the will to believe,
    Misunderstanding that it's not me and her,
    We're both failing to see what we'll become,
    That two people is shown only on the surface,

    So these tears will run down my surface,
    As she holds me tightly against her heart,
    Intertwined as the lovers we have become,
    Holding tighter as I whisper, "I'm in love"
    Now it will never be just "me" and "her",
    As we hold on to what we want to believe,

    What we've become is one on the surface,
    Always believing she'll hold on to my heart,
    And that my love will only be for her...
