This is not goodbye
by Tabby

Crying by his bedside my tears flow endlessly
I held his hand so tightly never wanting to let go
Trying to not think about what is about to be
I look up at him trying to not let my sadness show

His eyes are closed his breathing is slow and heavy
I run my hands through his thick, dark, brown hair
His handsome face is so pale with the color gray
That I begin to cry even harder thinking it isn't fair

Sickness is taking my true love away from me
Draining away his energy happiness and light
But not stealing our love away from each other
That is the one thing that he was able to fight

His eyes slowly open and he turns toward me
He smiles a weak smile and touches my cheek
I feel myself breakdown and burst into sobs
trying to say don't die but I could no longer speak

he grabs my hand and pulls me to him
reaching for my face he brings me into a kiss
then he hugs me with such a weak embrace
I hug him so tight never wanting to end this

Suddenly he lets go I pull myself slowly up
He looks at me with such sadness in his eyes
"I love you sweetheart"he says to me
"I love you but there will be no goodbyes"

"I love you to" I sob into his shoulder
I lay on his chest hearing his heart as I cry
I feel his breathing slowly fade away
As i sob to myself I say "its ok this is not goodbye".....

I'll Be Your Slave

Here are the souvenirs of my life
My fight, my journey my death kissed strife

Branches of trees
And smiling, taunting leaves
Intangible dolls, glass coated
Hidden
Though plain for all to see
Concrete jungles, immense
Stiff
And Bittersweet cups of tea
Lavender blushed
Speeches hushed
No rapturous applause for me
Lollipops and sunshine
Beneath the lightning bolts

The sheets of this bed
Enclose me tightly
I am the child
In this glass coffin
The lilies overwhelm me
Like a jelly-eyed Frankenstein
Take me
Creatures of the Night

If you'll be my destiny
I'll be your slave

Unbroken

Ever wonder why my soul won't cry?
It's away from the world and all your lies
You try to break me and want me to die
But, like the tides of the moon, I'm still alive

My skin color tears at your mind
It begins to unravel over time
You try your best to break my pride
But the light of the Lord keeps me alive

In your head you seek to find
The answer to my demise
But no matter how you try
I'll be here, full and alive

What is it that makes you lie?
Makes you go off and lose your mind
If you could, you'd kill me at the drop of a dime
Forever I live, I'll eternally be alive

My heritage burns into your mind
Engraved forever in the sands of time
The sight of my color makes your anger cry
I laugh at you for I'll always be alive

All my years my color will eternally thrive
It's a symbol of what my ancestors survived
People such as you, no matter how you try
Cannot break me, I'll forever be alive

Photograph

Look at the girl
How she sits so still
Motionless in her depression
Not knowing her will

Silently watching
Eyes open wide
Never does she blink
So her feelings she doesn't hide

Shes looking through the glass
At the people that surround her
How they stare at her helplessly
Wishing she was there

But she just sits there silently
With the smile upon her face
To bad that its a mask
And she holds it firmly in place

That was in the past
As the scene sadly shows
In the photograph she will sit forever
With the sadness nobody knows

Save Yourself
(for anyone who's been abused)

This is your destiny
Your life is in your hand
This is your destiny
Its time to take a stand

This is your life
Destiny you control
This is your life
Watch the tale unfold

Every hit thrown
You forgave
Every broken child
You tried to save

A broken home
Couldn't hold you down
Living every day
Without a frown

Always a kind word
Though you recieve none
Full of courage and strength
While men had their fun

Enduring the screams
Pushes and shoves
Bruised and broken
You still give love

This is your destiny
Your life is in your hand
This is your destiny
Its time to take a stand

This is your life
Destiny you control
This is your life
Save your tattered soul

My journey
by Marjan

Now that I let the words out of the cage
Let them flow freely on this page
The sun is setting
And it's getting dark
Soon, up so high in the sky
The stars will spark
Starting my wander around the world
Walking on this earth that is way too cold
On my foot, I cross the land
A little lamp in my hand
A coat to keep me warm
Shoes to keep away the harm
I keep going on and on
Sometimes walk and sometimes run
Until a far away town I can see
Where under a bridge, there's a family
I feel ashamed
At the sight of a little boy
That his shirt is his only joy
Taking off my coat
I wrap it around him
A smile is the only thing I receive
Which is the best gift one can ever give
I keep going
Strong winds, freezing weather
Go back home. That's better.
Warm blankets, hot coffee
This a voice keeps telling me.
Not paying attention,
I keep going
With my lamp, trying to spread light
At this dark icy night
Somewhere, there's a woman
With unspoken words
Locked up inside her
She doesn't have any shoes to wear
Taking off mine, I give them to her
She looks at me with her shining eyes
In them, rest her silent cries
I pat her on the back
& disappear at the night so black
Deep wounds, thorny bushes on the ground
Utmost peace I have finally found
With a smiling face, I enter the next city
I have come to help humanity
A child at the side of a grave
For her father she craves
Sitting beside her for some seconds
After a while, we become friends
Trying to ease her pain
Being a shelter for her in the rain
At the end, I give her a hug
Then disappear in the fog
Tired but happy I return
A big lesson I have learned
Now, I'm completely blind
Leaving my lamp behind
For the little girl I have met, wants to
Have a journey around the world too.

Love In Your Eyes

On a day when I’m down and out
you pick me up like no one else.
You grab my hand in your’s,
you look at me and tell me this...

I’ll love you today
I’ll love you tomorrow gone.
I’ll be here till the day begone,
Just close your eyes and think.
It’ll be me in your mind,
I’ll have you in mine.

I look back deep in your eyes and think,
I can’t believe God would give something as precious as this.
I pray to keep this with me forever more.
I look back deep in your eyes and say...

I’ll love you today,
I’ll love you tomorrow gone.
I’ll be here till the day begone,
Just close your eyes and think.
You’ll be in mine as me in your’s.

"You've made my life perfect"

Several loves had,
And several loves lost,
I was giving up on love,
The pain too high a cost.

But then you entered my life,
And you filled me with mirth.
I thought I was nothing,
But you gave me worth.

You showed me love,
When I needed it the most.
Of which, thats a feat,
That not many can boast.

You stood by my side,
When I needed a friend,
And I know you will be here,
Until the end.

And now we're together,
We're as happy as can be.
You're more than just my girlfriend,
Your everything to me..

I feel so close you to,
I love you soo much,
Close yet so far,
I long to feel your soft touch,

I cant wait for the day,
That I get to be with you,
I constantly think,
Of all that we could do.

I love you Brittany,
you are my life,
and I cannot wait,
until the day you're my wife.

Probably wont win, but i figured hey, ive never participated in any of these competitions in all the years ive been here, figured i might as well try! :)

I'm me^^
by "-"ciñdy"-"

I'm a shy little girl
Who knows from head to heart
I'm in my little world
Everything is a good start

I'm quite a silent child
That everybody knows
Everytime i just smiled
As time pass and goes

I'm a little innocent girl
With such warm emotions
In my little world
I'm filled with devotion

I'm just a sweet little child
With no fears or dought
I'm just a little girl
Love is the only thing i cannot live without

I will always love you
by Tara-Kay

I love you every day,
I'm dreaming of you every night,
And there is something I got to say,
As I hold you here in my arms so tight,
I will always love you.

There is no one in this world who will love me like you do,
And No-one will ever tear us apart.
I hope to spend all my life with you,
Each and every night you will be right here inside my heart.

I just can't bear the thought of you not in my world forever,
I never thought my life could change with just one kiss.
Now I am smiling because we are together,
And I hope deep in my heart you and I will always be like this.

I had always wondered if dreams could come true,
There's not a day in my life that I doubt if we belong.
I am dreaming now that you and I live our whole live through,
And that is one feeling deep down so strong.

Your eyes are a beautiful shade of green,
When I look so deep inside,
I just realise that you are the most amazing guy I've ever seen,
And you are the one I want to lay each night beside.

I will be dreaming my dreams with you,
They will be the best times I have ever had,
And each day that comes will be new,
And every day I will be so glad.

I will be glad that I have found someone so amazing,
Someone I want to be with till the end of time,
And when I see you I will be gazing,
Gazing at you because you are mine.

Loving you is so easy,
It's just as simple as writing your name,
And being right here with you is making me queasy,
Each and every day is the same.

I love you every day,
I'm dreaming of you every night,
And there is something I got to say,
As I hold you here in my arms so tight,
I will always love you.

Without Your Body:

I slept through it and then i never met you, but it's okay because we've bought clocks elsewhere. and How the birds chirp and the ticks tock; the fist hands that broken song, into our blood already boiling. A calm washes over me and i'm each bead of your voice, magnetized to some center. Gravity lies between; it's relative. Like the size of your interest or the feeling diminished; relish it. Song after song until our strings turn to nooses and our finger's slowly slip the knot. Step outside your box and cover the graves in shadows so that flowers won't grow - Turn ur smile up, emanate warmth to the touch, crushing bones to dust. Sever the bonds and strip the oak so that we're soaked in more than polite. Politeness that'sa blind figure draped in your movements; where intent thus far remains obscure. I swear it's magical-icious, this tragedy struck through broken bridges and whispering listlessness. A thrifty spend but, dont mention it: I've already written your will, forged your existence in fake chrome reflecting plastic toy-play guns. Lipping twice the power of electricity on in a vacant mind, the dust swallows the air and no longer can i breathe but we both remember promised another full fit never stop it just keep it closer wear it in your sockets so your eyes can get some rest within your pockets so your hands can stop the throbbing and your ache can fill the airway - you know,
without your body.

History's Forgotten Past
by HansRik

History's Forgotten Past

The fragile existence sounds in the wind,
As a shattered memory.

Decaying history,
Overridden by the crows' prelude to Death
In an empty realm of dark, intangible instruments.

The storms whisper of a pitiable past,
An artificial present withering away into a
Futile future.

The rainy rampage collapses into infinity-
A mystery dissolving like ice:

Life.

'Tis here, the old Story is told:
We are all made of stardust,

An accident in the history of the universe.
An explosion (a mistake) that formed the infinite possibilities of randomness.
But we are all One, we are Naught.

We are all made of stardust; we are all made of History.

These ethereal realities never cease to implode
Within the vastness of emptiness.

Eternity exists in one second's thought; the Totality, in my palm.

"My crying eyes"

Bleeding values of my undying love
My heart fears for its feeling
Feeling of love and hope
The feeling of being needed
Make it last forever
This thought merged by people around me
Telling me it cant last
Just live in the moment
But the moment is lost in tears
Scared of tomorrow
Scared of being alone
With no one to hold
Look at me and see my bleeding heart
With holes running deep
Filled with timid feelings
I need you to remind me
That`s its all ok
You`re the only one who can
Only you, the love of my life
Can cure my crying eyes.

She perches on a bridge arms stretched high
Ignoring the murmurings of passers by
She leaps into space as if she can fly
And she falls

She dives down deep into the blue sea
She swims deeper though burning her lungs may be
Down and down she swims, gliding smooth and free
And she drowns

She lights a burning pyre, and the flames touch the sky
She watches the smoke spiralling on high
She steps up onto the fuel, brittle and dry
And she burns

She murmurs and rustles in her heavy sleep
A scarred arm slides out under the white sheet
fractures of sky, flames and water deep
And she dreams

The Red Death

"The Red Death" stalks this land,
Many know it, Many could,
Walk with your bible in hand,
Let God's word speak the way it should.

Slowly overcoming the un-innocent,
Burning those who are not true,
The ones who refuse to repent,
Right for God is what they wont do.

If you find yourself with a loss of breath
With a loss of words for the lord,
Coming for you is "The Red Death",
Closing off heavens door.

"The Red Death" is hell,
Running your life with sin,
And if innocence is what you sell,
Then it's eating you from within.

Sometimes I wonder...
by J. Lau

If everything happened for a reason,
What purpose did I serve,
When I entered into your life?

Am I just a stranger?
Who happened to be his best friend,
And knew all that happened between you and him?

Am I simply a friend?
Who you were comfortable with,
And had absolutely no feelings for?

Am I the comforter I once described?
Who was there by your side,
And comforts you when you cry?

Am I your guardian angel?
Who guards and help you,
When you needed most?

Am I the soul mate that you need?
Who shared all your joy and sorrows,
And a true friend you can count upon?

Am I the passing cloud?
That happened to be there,
And slowly disappears when the sky clears up?

Am I the rainbow in the sky?
That brings you joy for that brief moment,
And fades away when the sun shines again?

Am I the white Christmas?
That happens only on occasion,
And fulfills a part of your life when all else fails?

Or am I the destined one?
Who will love and cherish you,
For the rest of our lives?

Sometimes I wonder...
How I got myself tangled,
In this complicated situation.

But one thing for sure,
That makes all that I wondered,
Not at all important,
Is that I know... I love you so.

everytime...

Everytime i go through that corridor
i still remember our steps, that have left after the rain
everytime i stand besides the road,everytime i sit on that chair
i remember what we have done

even though only words are shared
laugh and tears that have been shed
many times and too many memories we have curved on our time

everytime i open that book
i remember everything
you,him,them,have filled my days in this place
accompony,protect,play,teach,share love and stufffs,
cry,laugh,and life
everything landed on my mind

don't be afraid that you will be forgoten
don't be scared that my memory of you will be broken
i promise that it won't happen

even though our footsteps have been cleared
even though the road is no more
even though our chair have been moved
even though that book have been roten

my feeling towards you won't change
although the time has lapsed
through the wind,through the rain
i will always be,the way we were... the way we used to be

thanx friend,you have brought me fly to your world
to see any gorgeous moment
to know this world,meaning of life..
to feel the love,and spend abit happines with you
i love you.. till we meet later...
in heaven...

Under your wing
by My-name-was-too-long-so-now-i-have-this-one

Take me there
under your wing

with you and the doves

under your wing
with you i can fly
soar in the sky
i wish to be with you
and never leave your side

take me there
under your wing
now i can fly
by your side
my dream has come true
because i'm with you

take me there
under your wing

"Confused"

I tried to be everything,
I tried to be it all,
I tried to be perfect,
be there every time you call.

I tried to have the perfect body,
Took great time with makeup on my face,
I tried to be the pretty one,
I tried it for many, many days.

I tried to make you love me,
even though you don't,
I tried to make you talk to me,
even though you won't.

I tried it all because I wanted you,
Perfect I tried to be,
And it still didn't work,
so what so wrong with me?

-Things Change-

Sitting on her window sill
Reflecting on years past
She just can't help but laugh
As she watches the children play in the street
She remembers the days when she was one of them
But things change, nothing ever remains the same

Once upon a time
Her life was filled with make believe and lies
Like a fairy tale right out of a book
She once had a father and a caring mother
They were once a very happy family
But things change, nothing ever remains the same

She used to believe she was a princess
And that nothing could ever harm her
That the people she loved would live forever
Never to leave her side
That she'd always be daddy's little girl
But things change, nothing ever remains the same

She stopped believing all of these lies
The day her father died
No longer were her days filled with happiness and laughter
They were replaced with sadness and tears
She soon turned to the knife to help solve her problems
Things change, nothing ever remains the same

Her mother began drinking more
And by the end of every day she lay passed out on the floor
Leaving her little girl to care for herself
And showing her no love
So the girl cried herself to sleep every night
Things change, nothing ever remains the same

The little girl grew up wishing on a star
Hoping and praying things would get better
Weeks turned into months and months turned into years
The little girl's prayers continued to go unanswered
And she still cries herself to sleep every night
Things change, nothing ever remains the same

This little girl turns and looks into the mirror
And to her surprise the reflection she sees is me
I'm the girl with no father and an alcoholic for a mother
I'm the one dealing with depression
And the one who has a very deadly obsession
I'm the one praying my suffering ends

But each and every day my prayers go unanswered

-xlovelostx

I tried to forget you
and i tried to move on
but each time i see you
i dream, whereupon
my heart beats much faster
I'm trying to impress
i want you to love me
though its her you posses

we share many good times
and are still best of friends
every moment with you
ill treasure till the end
Ive found being "just friends"
is harder than it sounds
an hour with you
and I'm in love again!

by Alice

Taste of Blood

The ticking in your eyes calls your bluff
Feel free to die when you have had enough
Easy problems are breaking your back
Your life will be over when you attack

Make your move
Take a stand
Try to win
Ha Ha, like you can

See this war
Find this rule
Look into that mirror
You'll see you're a fool

In order to take me out you must act like a man
You still have to prove that you can
I see your might it compares to something
Only if something equals nothing

Time to figure
Begin to sin
Start to let
The blood spilling begin

Live for your suffer
Die for my revenge
Know that your life
Now comes to an end

Taste your own blood
Love your own fate
Swallow your damn pride
With your damn hate

Your last breath
A final stand
Last of all
Your last command

Knees in the blood
with your crying hopes
Wade in your sorrow
Bathe in your fear
Clear your mind
You don't belong here

Witness the moment of your failures succession.

wow - second thanks heaps that means alot to me
LOve, ALLY

Thanks so much!!!!!! I can't believe that I got third!
