~ Lay Me Down To Sleep

Lay me down to sleep
And steal my reality.
I'm far gone, too deep
Living inside every dream
Where you are always by me.

Just breathe,
Slow down my heart
That's beating just for you.
In waking I find I've lost hope
In life.

I'm in you too deep
But you're only a dream, so
Lay me down to sleep.

I'll take 2 and 3. :]

Welp here is mine. :]

Falling Snow
By: Jad

-Frozen teardrops fall-
A blanket of cold layers,
Encompassing us,
Covering the breathless earth
Pausing beauty in deadlock.

-Silent and sudden-
Voiceless yet sounds through the wind,
Is the falling snow.

Nice one Aussy :]

Then V.S. Now

Hey you,
remember me?
Please tell me that you do,
because, well, I remember you.
It's ok if you have forgotten me,
and it's fine if you don't recall.
I don't shine anymore,
I just seem to
fade out.
But-
You don't fade-
you don't disapear,
and poeple who shine that bright-
they-
they wouldn't remember me.
So, I understand.
I'm common.
Still-
Inside I'm perfect,
even to one such as you,
who can't even seem
to remember the person,
that once meant soo much to them

Good :]
Keep them coming.

Butterfly Oddquain, Haiku, Cinquain, Haiku.
(Double Haiku okay?)

Family?

Kin.
Mine I love
-Supposedly so -
Stupid are their behaviours.
Pigs;
ludicrous is their nature.
Comes home to a house -
a structure;
Home
he does not value.
Deceiving naive parents;
lying cunningly.
Guidance
they do not need
'cause 'adults they've become'.
Learn to be civilised, learn what
home means.
Youngest is teaching --
learn to love, please grow up.
What's your life become?

-AA
Hare Krishna.

Yes that's fine :)

Since not many people did this I will give you all two comments. I'm busy with school now but I will get them done.
