Heart Broken Competition

"Lonliness"

Loneliness is something I can't explain,
all I know is caused by love and pain.
To be left alone hurts so bad,
It makes us want what we had.
We feel left beside,
and we feel like having to hide.
We get sad, and can't do what we have to.
And the one who is causing the loneliness is you

X*x Forget Me x*X

Wake up and breathe,
You should be happy now, you're rid of me!
Smile and live again,
For you bare nothing, I hold the shame!

Laugh and flirt,
For she will never know of all the ones you've hurt!
Live and take her out,
For she has no reason, your honesty to doubt....

Forget me,
For you couldn't see,
See, all the damage carved into my heart,
For I am the victim of the love YOU tore apart!

Carry on with your life,
For this is not your battle, it's my strife.
Go out and make new friends,
For your life is not the life that will end!

Place her on a pedastel, Hold her high,
For she is not the girl you caused to cry!
Catch her when she falls for you,
For surely that is what you want her to do!

Forget me, I don't exist,
Like the blood that pumps from your heart to your wrists....
Forget me, I am nothing at all,
For I am shattered.... You never caught my fall!!!

Would You....

Would you listen if I broke down and cried?
I know you think so but my feelings are no lie.
I miss you, I really do
And I was hoping that if I missed you, you would miss me to!

Would you understand if I had the words to explain?
Explain all my emotions, fantasies, and all my pain.
I'm scared you really don't care
And it would kill me because that just isn't fair.

Would you forgive me if I asked you to?
I know I hurt you
But i hurt myself to
It just proves that the truth can cut you and make you bruised!

Would you love me if I loved you forever?
I can't remember when last you said did, oh wait you never,
Believe me I really do love you
And I was hoping that if I loved you, you would love me to!!

Would you remember me and place me in your fantasies?
Because It would mean so much,
If you would,
Love me like I wish you did!!!!

Why did you leave me like this?
by Tara Kay

I loved you the moment i met you,
Your eyes were the loveliest shade of blue.

You whisked me off my feet,
made my dreams come true.
I wish i told you enough,
how much i really loved you.

You went away on holiday,
i missed you in everyway.
I text you each night,
and rang you each morning.

I need to know why did you leave me like this?

I loved you with all my heart,
and i missed you when we were apart.

We never had a fight,
even when you were late home at night.
You went to work and never came back.
The doorbell rang that evening,
i couldn't get you on your phone.
I was sitting all alone.
The police gave me the news,
you had a car crash,
given you a right bash.
You didnt make it.
I cried and cried.

Why did you leave me like this?

Goodbye
by Tara Kay

So many days we spent together,
I thought that we'd be forever.

I cry for you feeling lost and lonely now
I cry for you you're still the one and only for me.
I can't work out what went wrong and How,
And all the love I had for you will never be free.

You are always and forever in my heart,
It is full of emptiness and long lasting Pain.
Each day that you and I are apart,
I wish you was here with me again.

I tell you, how my heart is broken too,
From any corner of the world, I let you know,
That I am still in love with you.
And I can never ever let you go.

Wasn't I always there for you and wasn't I good to you?
I guess you never even thought about how I would feel.
I know that everything I'm saying right now is so true,
And I know the love that is in my heart is forever real.

I think I'm better of moving away and dying,
Because I know that you and I will never be.
And I'm on my bended knee and I'm crying,
crying won't you come back to me.

I've given up trying to work this out,
So open up your ears a listen to what I have to say,
I don't want to have to shout,
But I know you wont listen any other way.

You are the one that I have loved forever,
And you are the one that broke my heart in two,
Because you and I cannot be together,
I just miss you.

You told me you loved me, you told me a lie,
This world of mine is so empty without our love,
You made me sad and made me cry,
And when I die I will be loving you from above.

I don't know how I can let go,
Stop my heart from missing you,
But all that I really know,
Is that everything that's in my heart is true.

The time has cone to move on,
I really can't work out why,
Your love for me has gone,
All I have to do is say goodbye.

"Empty Promises"

Empty Promises
Fill a void
All the trust you built
Uncaringly destroyed

You lied and cheated
And broke my heart
I should have pushed you away
From the very start

I was too naive
To see behind your eyes
I was the only one
To fall for your disguise

But now I know
It`s your loss not mine
I was more then you deserved
And without you I`ll be fine

You`re everything that`s nothing
A coward in cloak
When it comes to love
You`re the one to choke

You hide behind your games
And pretend you really feel
But you have no idea
Which feelings are for real

Is it in your blood
To lie and deceive
Is it instinct to prey on every girl
To wear her heart one her sleeve

You better watch your back
Because there will be day
When every girl you come across
Will see the games you play

Stop trying to make
All girls your own
Because you`re the one
To end up alone

Secret Code (revised 1/18/06)

I walk along these empty streets
Looking up at the cold, gray sky
Dreaming all but empty dreams
Doing this, I begin to cry

My soul is bleak
No one flashes me a glance
Why am I so meek?
When will I have my chance?

My eyes are glazed
My body seems hollow
I'm stuck in a maze
That I'm doomed to follow

My heart has cracked
This life is forlorn
Loving has been something I've lacked
I shall forever mourn

Does he love me?
Will he ever come around?
Can I ever make him see?
Am I even being sound?

He always makes me smile
He inspired me to write
Maybe I'm in denial
But he made me believe in love at first sight

He's like music playing in my head
I try to go on with the day
But I think of him instead
And when I'm around him, I never know what to say

I think back to the past,
To all the fun we had
I wish those days could last
Forever, so I'm never sad

My life is one big dream
I am lost and never found
And if I should scream
Would it even make a sound?

So I walk along this road
I shouldn't fret or pout
For love must be some secret code
I can't quite figure out

it's the same story
on a different page;

jokers can only laugh at themselves because
lovers only love someone else.

and i've seen you, the way
hands run over flesh, past desire and into
tomorrow; i've felt yesterday
and the many longings it satisfied,
but there comes a time-
absent of doubt lust guilt pain, and of course
love- where i'm no longer alone
like i was, then

there comes a time when jokers
are lovers, when secrets are shared
and lost and felt again, where
there's no difference between you and i
and we need not draw the line
as to who cares more, or what's
really worth it.

and its a hard line to draw; do we joke
about love, or should we live
in the present, must we walk away
just to see you laugh, or will you- laughing-
stay?

do we have to fake it,
just to make it real
so it won't ever hurt- or maybe
we shouldn't think of it as lost
whether or not
it will ever be felt again, even if-

it's not anything new;

the jokers laugh at anybody
else, and the lovers
hate. the sick live, the burdened
wait,
stars swallow emptiness and
liars sell us truth; the mad are locked
into the world, where their mind
opens
like a book;
always the same book,the same
characters, the same
cage.

False Hope
By: Amanda Bee

Why do I keep on deluding myself?
And why can’t I release this illusion?
For I know there will be no happy ever after
No heartwarming and fuzzy conclusion

No slow descent into an evening sunset
With fingers intimately intertwined
No romantic candle lit dinners
Served with crystal goblets of wine

I’ll find no roses strewn across my pillow
No softly whispered words of affection
No heart stopping gestures of romance
No days filled of timeless perfection

I’m sure Sleeping Beauty is wide awake now
And she’s probably crying on Cinderella’s shoulder
Weeping that Prince Charming broke her poor heart
As soon as the days of their honeymoon were over

Forget about a grand act of dedication
Or a declaration of tender sweet devotion
Oh how I wish that my head hadn’t been filled
With such an impossible and unattainable notion

Of a love that could endure until the end of time
Everlasting love, hmph…I scoff at thee
You continuously make fools out of the innocent masses
And now I’m begging you to set my heart free

Depart from the crevices of my throbbing brain
These promises of passion have left my mind tainted
Admit to your falsehoods and take away all
These whimsical pictures that you’ve meticulously painted

Disillusioned and utterly heartbroken
Teardrops tumble as I strive to cope
Holding up my chin through this sad reality
Determined to stop desperately clinging to false hope

Left-Handed Memory

I still recall that single day
Where, in bed, we both lay
The light falls in from the window above
Your bare skin glows from sun and love
Blue eyes stare into my soul
We embrace, and don't let go.

The phone rings, startles me from my memory
Life goes on, forever, without you and me.

Her last words
by Just-take-my-heart-i-want-you-to-have-it

He lifts his eyes
as she runs to him
she is crying
but why he isn't sure
the he sees another person
chasing her, why?
she reaches him
holding her, she begs him to save her
"just wait, he won't hurt you"
"oh but he will," she cries
"the one you should run from is me"
opening his mouth
revealing his fangs
she gives out a scream
"oh please someone help me!"
it rings through the forest
for those are truly
her last words

*don't know if you could say that this is a broken heart poem but if not don't worry about it*

It's Over

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Ive cried one million
Tears for you

Wondering if youll return
To this place in my heart
Where did our love go
Love that was there from the start

Our love was perfect
In the beginning
No one could touch us
My head was spinning

But now you left me
Here all alone
No letters or smiles
Or calls on the phone

Since we broke up
I havent been the same
Since that horrible day
I dont want to hear your name

Even though you hurt me
Im still in love with you
It may sound crazy
But I dont want anybody new

Boy you were my everything
Everyday Id think of you
Each day youd be reminded
How much I love you

Everyday Id get so happy
Just to see your face
But know it seems my heart
Has somehow been misplaced

When you told me it was over
I though I would die
I broke down in the hallway
And I started to cry

I can never love anyone
The way I love you
My friends tell me about other guys
But I wouldnt put them above you

I though you were perfect
I thought you were the one
I thought wed last forever
But you said it was done

I dont think I can stand this pain
You made me a lot less stronger
Im dying of a broken heart
And I cant hold on much longer

The Heartbreaker

He'll steal your heart
But he'll break it
You think you can never be apart
But you won't make it

He'll captivate you with his smile
Just to turn you down
You'll be in love all the while
But he'll make you frown

He'll smile at you to get you to come
But then he'll make you cry
He'll make you look really dumb
He'll make you want to die

He'll make you wish you've never spoken
He'll make you ache for his touch
Because girls, my heart is broken
And it hurts so much!

Time to choose (part 1)
by: Tim Bradshaw

The time has come for you to decide,
I can not live this life no more.
You need to choose who you love,
Or I'm walking out the door.

You tell me you love me,
But you run back to him,
I feel like my chances with you,
Are becoming so very slim.

I know you care about me a lot,
I can see it in your eyes,
But still you go back to him,
And I'm sick and tired of lies.

So here's your choice me or him,
It's time for you to choose,
I am okay with what you want,
But without me you'll lose.

I just can't seem to understand,
What is going through your head.
I have just been going along,
With everything that you have said.

So I hope you make your choice soon,
Or I can assure you I will be gone.
And if you decide to leave me,
I don't think I could move on.

idk if this is what u mean..but if it isnt just send me a message and ill change it...

~So Much For Love~
By: ~*Who Cares?*~

So, I hear you're going out with someone new,
I guess this means we are forever through.
I bet before you know it, I'll just be a memory,
You won't remember a single thing about me.
I never thought the love flame would die,
At least not so soon, but I guess this is goodbye.
So much for getting married, when I turn 18,
But I'll remember everything, from the Rams to the color green.
I knew a lot about you, that I never told,
And I never will, for any amount of gold.
Think back to before we went out,
How when we were together I'd never pout.
We might've been just friends, but we saw eachother a lot,
You never made me cry, but the happiness was shot.
I can't believe I spent the last week,
Writing the perfect letter of words I couldn't speak.
I was up day and night,
Writing in the dark and light.
It's a good thing I checked your myspace,
Before I sent the message, wow what a waste!
I got no sleep, and for what?
To find out it's too late, and the door is shut.
Well, have a nice day, say hi to your girlfriend,
for me, and tell her you'll love her until the end,
Like you did to me...

"Broken Hearts"

You've gone on to someone new.
You've got me feeling down.
Made me want to end my life.
Just to end this frown.

You said you only broke my heart,
But how can that be true?
You said things would get better.
But I'm still in love with you.

You said other people break people's,
Hearts every single day.
And how are you such a horrible person?
By living life this way.

Sadly you didn't break my heart.
You stole it in my sleep.
You still have it to this day.
You're stabbing it softly as I speak

It takes a very special girl,
To make me feel this Weak.
I thought I was stronger then this.
But you've made my heart so meek.

Why is it I pray for death?
How can this even be?
Dear Lord, Please take my life soon,
Living in hell is killing me.

You will never be able to go back,
From all the things you've said.
A cut on my wrist for every lie.
Someday you'll make me dead.

My Chance
by Randy East

I'm so exited,
I just cant wait
exhilarated
I see the gate

Ive waited forever
for this chance
I turn around for
one last glance

I put my hands up
to send good byes
tears of joy
swell up my eyes

With every blink
a new tears trace
I think about
my mothers face

I can not wait
to feel her care
and from that point
a life we'll share

I continued on
and as I walked
The gate swung shut
and suddenly locked

I turned around
in my surprise
and saw the sorrow
in everyones eyes

Not ten feet away
I hit the floor,
agony, despair,
and so much more

The gates
of Heaven had
shut me in,
a victim to

...ABORTION

The Silent Phone
By: sammie

I sit here alone
And wait for you to call
Even though I know you wont.
The silence brings tears to my eyes
And slowly but surely I begin to cry.
I think of what your doing
And I'm wondering
If I have even crossed your mind at all to day.
But I wont give up hope...
I wait, and wait, and wait.
Still the phone is silent.
On nights like tonight
I almost hate the stars for
Glowing and reminding me of you.
I pick up the phone to
Make sure its still on,
And of course it is,
How silly of me?
I wonder to myself
If you hurt me so
How can i still be in love with you?
But then i remember
All the good times we've shared
And I'm wishing
It could be like that still.
The night is passing by
And I would lose
All sense of time
If it wasn't for the steady ticking of the clock...
As minutes become hours
In this night that seems endless,
I slowly cry myself to sleep...

Why I Cry
By: sammie

So deep and sweet
Is the sound of your voice,
I fell in love with you
I didn't have a choice.
We walked together
The two of us a perfect pair,
But then we broke apart
And you were never there.
You told me that you loved me
I knew that you were lying,
But I couldn't let you go
So we continued trying.
Even though things got better
It still felt very wrong,
Then I started wondering
If in your heart I'd ever belong.
Although in the end
It was I who said goodbye,
At night when I go to bed
Your the reason why I cry.

Ok, well I have sooo many of these poems so it was really hard to pick which one I wanted to enter. I have decided on an older one I wrote a while ago, and a newer one I wrote not too long ago lol. Hope you enjoy them. Excellent work to everyone before me, and most likely after me, best of luck :).

Have You Ever...

Have you ever lost a loved one
Said goobye instead of goodnight?
Have you looked into their eyes
To find that love was no longer alite?

Have you ever loved so dearly
That you could not live without
Only to be left alone,
Left feeling empty, and with doubt.

Have you ever feared the worst
But hoped for the best
Only to be let down entirely
Shutdown and put to rest.

Have you watched the one person
Whom you loved and adored
The only one you trusted
In the whole wide world

Betray your trust and love
Leave you broken hearted
Tear down everything you've ever known
And so gracefully, parted.

Well thanks to you my love
I have been through all of these
You've tooken my whole life with you
Yet to my heart you hold The keys

I don't know why,
And I can't explain it
But my love for you
Is infinate

------

My Last Goodbye

This lonely heart is brutally shattered.
A pressure builds from no blood spattered.
My chest aching,
I can't stand the pain.
I gave you my love, and with you it remains.

A bitter storm rages deep inside.
Hot acid rain are the tears that I cry.
My eyes are burning,
I've cried far too long.
You've left me feeling, like I can't go on.

All of my trust, bestowed upon you.
Those three words, this fool believed true.
Entrapped within,
Is my heart and soul.
I know you don't love me, but all of me you hold.

I can't bear any longer to hear your name.
I hate that I still love you the same.
Memory hurts,
I need to forget.
I'd never have fallen, if we hadn't met.

Shredded are the pictures of you that I had.
As I hold every piece in the palms of my hands.
Blow one last kiss,
Moan one last cry.
I guess this is it... My last goodbye.

What If

When you love someone
You better say it
After you leave
you'll never know
When you'll see each other again.

If he leaves
And you never did tell him
Because you think
You'll have another chance.
Think again,
You could never see him again.

I think about
What if I'd just told him
Would we still be together
Even though the world
Is trying to keep us apart.

One More Time

You were more than a cousin,
More than just a relative.
You were a good friend,
Someone I could count on.

I took for granted you'd be there.
I never thought, what if?
Then with just on shot,
You were gone forever.

Your life was taken within minutes,
Time that we all wish,
We could go back and change.
Time we wish we could erase.

Holidays are now different.
A time we used to look forward to,
Is now a time where
We just try to get through it.

I can't begin to explain
How much I miss you.
I wish I could go back
And see you one more time.

Remi's Poem
By: Sarah Drew

Every time I think of him
My soul is slowly being tortured

I know he never loved me
I know he never will
I can never see him again

He has my heart
He won't give it back
He has stolen my happiness
He has hidden it from me

Everyday I die a bit more
Nothing will ever be the same
He was my first love
I can't stop these feelings

Everywhere I turn
Everything I do
Everyone I meet
All remind me of him

It's been forever
And I still have all of eternity to go
Feeling broken and unloved

What Is Happiness
By: Sarah Drew

What is happiness
I don't see it anymore
It's been gone for such a long time
It went straight out the door
Along with you

Now when I turn around
You aren't there
Holding my hand
Telling me that you love me

What is happiness
It's been lost for so long
It's been burried deep underground

My happiness is gone
So very far away
I used to know happiness
That has all changed
Now all I know is sadness
And depression

My happiness has flown away
It's gone to the ends of the earth
Now I never have one good day

I wish I could remember what happiness was

dark to me now

No more do the stars brightly glimmer
Happiness in my life I will no more allow
No more do streams under moonlight glitter
No more to me does the wide sea shimmer
To me the sun itself is dimmer
For all is dark to me now

Since the day the life flew out of thee
Only weeks after we had made our vow
All thoughts of life deserted me
Life itself lost all meaning to me
The joys in this world I no longer can see
For all is dark to me now

Each day as I sorrowfully waken
Wishing I was with you somehow
For by God you have been taken
I am left desolate, alone and forsaken
My faith has been so surely shaken
For all is dark to me now

Now my body lies broken
Forever is it dark for me now
For my heart it has been broken
For my soul it has been broken
So desperate steps I have taken
With you forever I will be now

stitches

I sit here stitching up the tatters of my soul
Try to repair this ripped and shredded heart
I cry over these ruined works I had spent a lifetime on
Yet it only took a week for you to rip them apart

My silver needle again pierces through
The needle born of the lies you spun me
I feel a prick on my finger, a drop of blood forms
Even now your lies can still cut me

The thread dives down and emerges again
A thread woven of my wasted love
The thread when new was as white as snow
But now is grey, like an aged turtle dove

This heart and soul that I sit mending
Are washed with my tears as I cry
They embrace the thread and rejoice in the needle
And spread until not an inch is left dry

Washed with my tears and pierced with your lies
And darned with love's wasted thread
My soul feels as thin in my arms as rice paper
My heart is heavy as lead

Pain Within

I love you, but you won't take me back,
I did something i shouldn't have,
I broke up with you because it was the best thing to do,
But now i can't stop thinking about you.

I think about the good times we had,
And now i feel very mad,
I should of told you this before,
And now i love you even more.

I remember that day i said good-bye,
I remember how you made me cry,
You hate me, it ain't a sin,
And now all i can say is,
I have pain from deep within.

When I found you I
thought my life had begun
When I lost you I thought my world was over

Now as I begin again I
realize by loving you I
gained and by losing you
I grew

Life and love are two separate things
Thank you for the lesson

A kiss on the lips
a sweet gentle sigh
an I'll love you forever
and I'll never say good-bye

your arms wrapped around me
a whisper in my ear
a promise to the gods
that you'd always be near

you thought i was asleep
so you whispered out your heart
you said you would die
if ever must we part

i was your one
your only and everything
to me these words
your sweet heart sang

i pretended to sleep
think I'd hear more
but you just kissed me softly
and my heart begin to soar

thats all you said
the first night you were there
you led me to believe
that you actually cared

but you hurt me
and brought tears to my eye
and soon i realized
those were just sweet lies

UNREQUITED LOVE!!!

“But I love you,” he cried,
wallowing gin the pain of what she just told him.
“I LOVE YOU,” “I LOVE YOU,” “I LOVE YOU,” “DAMMIT,”
she not paying him any attention, not listening, at all.
“I LOVE YOU,” even louder he cries, hoping that the loudness and emotion of his voice might sway her, make her see.
She turns away, taping her foot, impatiently, as if to say,
“GET AWAY!” “LEAVE ME ALONE!”
And with vigorous persistence, he echoes, “But I LOVE YOU!”
She begins to walk away.
And in a furious rush of emotion, he screams, “LEAVE!” “OK THEN,” “LEAVE!” “JUST LEAVE,”
While in his heart, once again, still saying, “I love you,” (fading out) “I love you,” (fading out) “I love you,” (fading out)...
And with one last, loud cry, his heart screams, longingly, “COME BACK!!!”
But her interest is just not there and no longer, is she able to hear his cries.
She fades into the distance, and he closes his heart to the pain...

Commentary: (This poem It is the aftermath of a heart shattering moment. When one (the man in this case) finds out that the one he loves doesn’t love him, as such, and maybe never really loved him, at all. She has come to realize that he’s not the one, for him she has no love there, and therefore must cut off all ties, no matter how much he begs, pleads, and confesses his love for her, no matter, how much it hurts him. It may be rather callous and savage to do as so, but to end things, permanently, this she must or risks leaving him faint glimmers of hope, so to snuff out all possible hope, she must crush him and crush all dreams of what they could have or could have had. All memories of things good, between them, that he did have must be tainted with the sour, rotten, toxic, taste of pain… His heart will be broken and he left devastated, but it’ll all be over, all hope killed, binds destroyed and ties severed!!!)

Valentine's Day
by Just-take-my-heart-i-want-you-to-have-it

They sit together
on the lover's holiday
cuddling, and smiling
acting lovey dovey
he knows she wants to die sometimes
she thinks there might be someone else
they part in their ways
he goes to the one he loves
she to the one that loves her
she holds the cold metal, his photo
crying why couldn't you love me
like the way you love her
she holds the blade closer
thinking "walk the sidewalk"
she gets closer to her want
he now feels her pain
leaving his lover
he runs down the road
now she is thinking "no turning back"
the blade "walks the sidewalk"
now turning, it "crosses the street"
he reaches her house
tears running down their eyes
she clutches the note
he clutches the nob
just a second too late
she lays there motionless
kneeling beside her
he reads the note
"we both can't get what we want"
he knows, though no one else does.
he now belongs to her
she got her wish
but he shall not
that was her happy ending
but his sorrowful beginning

Promises

You were always making promises
That you could never keep
You told me you loved me
But that was a lie
You told me I was the only one for you
But I knew that wasn't true
You talked about me behind my back
Telling your friends I was a loser
All you ever wanted
Was to get me in bed
Well, I'm not taking it anymore!
I can't take the lies!
I can't take the cheating!
I thought I loved you
But I guess that was a lie too!

Secret Code (revised 1/18/06)

I walk along these empty streets
Looking up at the cold, gray sky
Dreaming all but empty dreams
Doing this, I begin to cry

My soul is bleak
No one flashes me a glance
Why am I so meek?
When will I have my chance?

My eyes are glazed
My body seems hollow
I'm stuck in a maze
That I'm doomed to follow

My heart has cracked
This life is forlorn
Loving has been something I've lacked
I shall forever mourn

Does he love me?
Will he ever come around?
Can I ever make him see?
Am I even being sound?

He always makes me smile
He inspired me to write
Maybe I'm in denial
But he made me believe in love at first sight

He's like music playing in my head
I try to go on with the day
But I think of him instead
And when I'm around him, I never know what to say

I think back to the past,
To all the fun we had
I wish those days could last
Forever, so I'm never sad

My life is one big dream
I am lost and never found
And if I should scream
Would it even make a sound?

So I walk along this road
I shouldn't fret or pout
For love must be some secret code
I can't quite figure out

As i see that girl,
i wonder what troubles her so,
her head hangs low,
fear is evident in her eyes,
the pain showing through her smile.

i can see such sorrow and regret,
i can tell that its about a boy,
i can tell even through that smile,
she cared about him,
and he broke her heart.

it isn't all sorrow in her beautiful face,
there is also joy and hope,
and most of all the fight has not yet left her,
she isn't one to forget easily but she can see something,
the end of him.

in her eyes it is evident that she will soon forget him,
and even tho she has cannot care for another so soon,
she knows that soon she shall be able to feel for another,
she knows that the
one will soon be forgotten.

on her face is such sorrow and yet joy,
on her face is the pain of the past,
the pressure of the present,
and the hope she has for her futur,
all mixed in one.

however she is clever,
for no-one will see past her smile,
no one will hear the pain in her voice,
no one will see the sorrow in her eyes,
no one but me.

for you see as i look at this girl,
i come back to reality and realise,
that this girl is no stranger,
and her problems are not new to me,
for you see as i look into the mirror,
i realsie that, that girl is me

The Nature Of Sad Love
By: West

This fire for you burns through midnights power as all of time stops for a single eternal hour. Retaining the purest form of sadness, a spark of light flickers in the evening wind.

Whispers are heard of a never dying love. All so unknown to me yet clear to a world above. Rivers running red as the Sky's turn black. Now this death has come taking a lover never to be back.

As stars fall from the sky into the sun of the moon, her face remains in the morning blue. Unable to forget, a never ending reminder of those lips.

Single moments remain of a love that was stronger than the rain. This sadness makes the earth cry in pain. My heart does join in this emotional plain.

These visions of her face burn my mind like the bitter sweet sands of time. Thunder sends its bolts one after another, striking me further down.

Never to forget what once I had to lose to realize my truth. My reason of life, my reason to be was to have a single second with thee.

A Religious Affair (Villanelle)

My heart, a graveyard of lovers dead
My prayer mat is near the bedpost
What is my religion but a shrine to her bed?

Get me some food” my goddess lewdly said
A mere slave I am, addicted to beauty and sex
My heart, a graveyard of lovers dead.

A month ago I was truly in love, Cupid arrow stabbed
My heart fluttering, our love was developing but now
What is my religion but a shrine to her bed?

I gave her something men often dread
The power, O sweet power, once taken she changed
My heart, a graveyard of lovers dead.

Where is my food” she angrily said
I’m coming, my love” I calmly replied
What is my religion but a shrine to her bed?

Oh I miss those days, the days of a budding rapport
Now turned twisted, and became a master and slave liaison
My heart, a graveyard of lovers dead
What is my religion but a shrine to her bed?

All You Do Is Disappoint Me....

All you do is disappoint me,
I wake up everyday, realizing this,
How could it possibly be?

What did I do wrong?
What did I say?
It wasn't long,
That you chose to stay.

I hope you regret leaving,
From the lies you told,
And all the deceiving.

That's all you'll ever know,
Or ever do to people,
I'm glad you chose to go.

Now, that you aren't in my life,
I'm more happier and calm,
And, I'm glad that I'm alive.

No Matter What I do....

No matter what I do,
You will never understand,
What I've been through.

No matter what I do,
You fake and pretend,
I will never trust you again.

No matter what I do,
I'm not good enough,
Especially for you.

No matter what I do,
Whenever I do my best,
I will always be depressed.

No matter what I do,
You will never understand,
What I've been through.

Promises that you made,
But failed to keep.
The sincerity in your voice,
Made me fall deep.

Words that you said,
Did you mean them or not?
I expected too much,
And deserved what I got.

What started as innocent,
Ended in pain.
The happiness you brought,
I could not maintain.

In times we didn't speak,
The reasons were not clear.
Despite what you did,
I will always be here.

The feelings rush back,
When I see you.
Secretly hoping,
That you feel it too.

I'm edging into this again,
Without any blinders on.
The last time this happened,
I blinked and you were gone.

I'm not expecting much this time,
Seems you like to let me down.
Say you like to see me smile,
Yet always make me frown.

I will just sit here waiting.
Will you notice what you use to see?
Beginning to think what he said was right,
You are just using me.

Knowing me, a sucker for pain,
I'll wait around anyway.
I will just be here hanging
Off every word you say.

Scars That Heal
by ~~Lindsay Woods~~

When you found that one person who makes you feel like your the only one in the room,

That one person who still sits beside you no matter what you have been through,

The one who asks you if your ok when you have done something wrong,

The one person who sings to you from the heart the most wonderful song,

When you found that one person who loves you for who you are,

The one person who will keep you from moving to far,

The one person that you look at and they always make you smile,

That is the one person who will make it all worth the while,

When you have found that person you will know from the start,

That is the one person you will always have in your heart.

When you find your one and only,

Tell them how you feel,

That is the one thing that they can do is make the scars heal.

Wishing you well...
by J. Lau

I got your mail.
I know my stance.
I need to distance,
To lessen your pain.
My presence reminds you
of memories you shared with him,
Which does not help you heal,
Your wounded heart and soul.

I feel your pain and sorrow,
More then you will ever know.
I worry about you,
But there's nothing more I can do.
How I wish I can go back in time,
And change everything til it's fine.

Somehow I wish that you will know,
That it was no less painful for me then you.
Fate maybe to blame,
In this ruthless game;
But casualties were not bound to two,
For I was there, right beside you.

I wish you happiness,
Should you be gone.
Far away from this lonely place,
Across the ocean where I will gaze.
How I wish that you will stay,
But wishing you well is all I pray.
When you come back healed and well,
Please don't forget this lonely heart,
Who wished you well
From the bottom of his heart.

Fate. ... that was never meant to be...
by J. Lau

If time cheated you from fate
and robbed you of the chance,
It may be destined
that it was never meant to be.

If circumstances created obstacles
that made you part your own ways,
It may be a lesson
that both will treasure for years to come.

The fact remains that feelings
that were once true and real
maybe something which will never fade...
If you truly cared about someone...

If you truly care about someone,
You will do anything to keep that person happy.
You will want to be there when you're needed
and worried when you're not.
You may mend situations without anyone knowing;
You may take care of things without ever placing claim.

You may hide your own personal feelings
and bury them deep inside you;
You may do or say things
that may contradict with your true feelings.
For you know deep down
that it's best for the situation and everyone.

You may need to keep focus
and overcrowd your emotions with logic.
You may force yourself to listen with a deaf man's ear
and see with a blind man's eyes.
You may find yourself riding an emotional roller coaster;
or you may find yourself so helpless and despair.
You may find yourself trapped in an emotional web,
not knowing what to do.
You may find yourself so down many of times,
asking yourself what you are doing.

But if you truly love someone,
and when the chapter finally comes to an end;
You may find it surprising,
that you are truly happy
for that someone you once had feelings for;
And that you have already forgotten
about your own pain and sorrows.
All will be worth it in the end...
if you truly loveD someone.
