    You Never Loved Me

    You never loved me
    I don't know how I never knew
    I've known you my whole life
    I've never known the real you
    Am I really that unlovable
    You just had to push me away
    You loved to see me hurt
    It's what you lived for everyday
    Every time I'd go visit
    You'd try to make me cry
    Still I held you dear in my heart
    I really don't know why
    The day I learned the truth
    My tears blinded out my sight
    I went through the day like a robot
    I was crying the whole night
    I haven't gone over in a while
    I'm giving you what you asked for
    A part of me hopes you've missed me
    Another wants to hate you forever
    Then you call and say you want me back in your life
    Even after you caused me so much pain
    And even though I may come back over
    My feelings toward you will stay the same

    The Chosen

    What storm of this world can make it tremble,
    this silhouette that I blindly follow.
    How absent the world seems, as I view it,
    black and alone, in the halflight of mist.

    I care for nothing, conflate dream and day.
    Such is my indifference, entwine them!
    A last sunset peers dimly through the mist,
    but it escapes me, I am truly blind.

    For a frozen moment, I stop in awe,
    we have come to the sea, how vast and dark.
    Sighs, for which hope is a stranger, the waves,
    they have not changed, they were thus in my dreams.

    Turn loose thy storms, Lord, we will outlast them.
    For us, your own blood, there will be no end.

    Darkto 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

    your life is full of uncertainty
    but i keep nagging a pity

    again and again...
    i expect you to understand..
    with a sound of offense
    without knowing where you stand.....

    even so, you always deny.....
    to say that important line
    with a soft white lie...
    or a saying i'm fine........

    Why has this happened?
    by Alyson

    My troubles are long gone
    Now I'm standing here
    In this desolate world
    Alone and abandoned

    All around me are the ruins
    Of once grand buildings
    Broken and shattered
    Until they no longer exist

    The harsh winds blow dust
    Across the face of this vast land
    Leaving the fields barren
    Where food no longer grows

    Most rivers have run dry
    Leaving behind cracked earth
    That screams in the night
    For help

    Tears slide silently down my cheeks
    As I look at what this worlds become
    Its no longer grand or beautiful
    But dry and unforgiving

    Why has this happened?
    I say its because of our sins
    All the wrongs that we've done
    And all the beliefs we've held against others

    *This holds a message can you find it?

    An hour ago...
    by J. Lau

    Please...
    Someone please...
    Please turn on the light.
    I see shadows moving around,
    But nothing appears quite the same.

    It's so dark in here,
    Why doesn't anyone turn on the light?
    What time is it now?
    I thought we just finished breakfast.
    Please answer me... Someone.

    I remember walking in the park,
    Just after my morning coffee.
    I remember it was a clear blue sky,
    I strolled along the thick green grass,
    And watching the children play.

    On my way back home,
    A car ran a red light and struck me.
    I remember so many people around me,
    Asking if I was alright.
    I remember telling them that I'm o.k.,
    Stood back up and walking back home.

    That was an hour ago...
    I know my eyes are as wide as they can be,
    But why can't I see?
    What is happening to me?
    Why is everything so dark and grey?

    Life was full of colors and joy only yesterday,
    Now it's dark and cold.
    Why did this happen to me?
    Images now exists only from my memories,
    ... just less then an hour ago.
    My life...
    Will never be the same...
    Anymore.

    Story of A Friend
    by: ~*Who Cares?*~

    Broken girl, empty heart and mind,
    Wishes she couldn't see you, wanting to be blind.
    Broken heart, best friend a razor,
    Doesn't like herself, so she becomes a poser.

    Bleeding wrists, from endless tears,
    That have remolded her through the years.
    Puffy cheeks, blood shot eyes,
    All because of your lies.

    Lost voice, cannot speak out,
    Sometimes wants to, but is overcome with doubt.
    Lost smiles, with so many fake laughs,
    Her depression has left the graph.

    Tears of blood, streak her face,
    She gives up in this race!
    Tears of loss, tears of sadness,
    Thinking people couldn't really care less!

    She goes off to die, alone and in pain,
    At her funeral they state she wasn't sane.
    She knows that she was, she just gave up with life,
    So she used her friend Mr. Knife.

    Shadow of Arabian Night
    By Ipsita Bose

    Her melancholic voice echoes through the dessert
    Her feet tap on the sand
    The dark gloom of Arabia survives in her soul
    Yet each night she starts a new journey on this land

    Songs of joy, love and happiness
    She sings softly under her veil
    But the somber side of her who can see?
    Who can tell her heart is stale?

    Her words, softly sung
    Reaches far across to the sea
    But no one can hear her desires
    No one can hear what she really wants to be

    On a dark night
    Her lonely soul started to wander
    So with the winds she walked along
    Only to find out that her lover no longer wants her

    On her long walk back
    She remembered old memories, some happy and some sad
    Her heart filled with pain
    And the thought of losing the only love she ever had

    On that night, her eyes had filled an ocean
    But no one could see a single drop of tear
    In her world of darkness
    She screamed with pain yet no one could hear

    She hid her black colored heart with a smile
    Yet the the feeling of happiness on her face was absent
    She sung night and day
    Hoping that the pain gifted from him would keep silent

    From then on each night she would start her journey
    The only companion being her shadow
    In search of another man who would color her heart red
    And the feeling of love he would show

    Not exactly sure how depressing this is.. but i thought it was sad enough...

    Killer: Love
    by Even roses have thorns

    She looks into his eyes
    seeing his every thought
    he knows she's doing it
    quietly he tells her, he loves her
    she smiles looking around
    no one knows but them
    she tells him she is in love, also
    only her eyes show it
    but she will never tell who
    the boy thinks they love each other
    slowly they drift,
    her real love never known
    Now with words she tells him,
    I've never loved you!
    off she runs
    afraid of what could happen
    dumbfounded he follows
    looking for answers
    she turns down an alleyway
    when he reaches it no one is there
    looking around for the love he lost
    finding her no where he leaves
    now traveling home he begins to cry,
    you left me, i should have known
    everyone that i love leaves
    but there is one,
    the only friend i have
    he returns home,
    a small little shack,
    he picks up the silver
    his only friend
    it touches his arm
    cringing, he presses down
    seeing the blood
    smiling, pressing harder
    this is my last breath
    he shouts, as he slowly
    fades away

    Valentine's Day
    by Even roses have thorns

    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

    No one knows
    by Latasha

    Her son is crying,
    As she paints her face.
    She is getting ready for another night.
    Her son screams mommy don't leave.
    As she kisses him and leaves out the door.
    Her name is not known,
    She is only known for her services.
    No one cares she has son to feed,
    They only care that she pleases them.
    Her tender body quievers,
    As strange men touch it.
    She wonders how she has gotten to this place...
    The place where no one knows who she really is not even herself.
    She use to be a cheerleader,
    The class president,
    Every girls envy,
    She was beautifu,
    And wanted by many.
    But now she is gone to a place,
    Where no one really knows.
    We just see her face as she walks into another cheap motel.
    What went so different?
    How did this change?
    Tears shimmer down her face,
    As she walks home after each night,
    With no more then 20 dollars in her pocket.
    She says this will last until tonight,
    When it happens all over again.

    Another Statistic?

    Another teenage girl spends
    her time locked in her room.
    Wiping tears from her eyes
    while damning the whole world.

    She refuses to look at her
    reflection in the mirror.
    Afraid to see.

    There are bruises in her memory
    and not engraved on her skin.
    Memories that make her want
    to collapse and shun herself.

    She has bite marks on
    her tongue from the words
    she didn’t say.

    To most people, she’s just
    another statistic in a world of facts.
    Where people just see her
    as another number.
    Not a pretty face.

    And where strangers
    swear that the same thing
    would never happen.

    She’s got scars on her heart.
    She’s numb and nervous.
    She’s just another statistic.

    She was me.

    Bullet

    He seems so unhappy
    Something is on his mind
    His life so miserable
    It seems since the beginning of time

    The world passes by hastily
    Leaving him with father time
    He's trying to catch up
    Lest he fails and dies

    He looks at me with such distance
    Death is in his eyes
    The life he once knew
    Has met its demise

    Sadness has become the home
    His shelter from misery
    His soul hidden from the world
    Kept secret from all who seek to see

    I have found his happiness
    I can help his sorrow come to an end
    It all begins with this gun
    And ends with a bullet through my head

    Did You See Me, Daddy?
    by â—Š Atomic â—Š

    Did you see me, daddy?

    I just took my first few steps,
    -My chubby legs almost gave away.-

    Did you see me, daddy?

    Today was my first day of school,
    -Nobody invited your daughter to play.-

    Did you see me, daddy?

    I just got my first art award,
    -I painted a picture of a happy you.-

    Did you see me, daddy?

    I just performed right on stage,
    -You weren't anywhere in view.-

    Did you see me, daddy?

    I was introduced to drugs today,
    -You haven't said that it was wrong.-

    Did you see me, daddy?

    I fainted on my way to school,
    -You weren't there to make me strong.-

    Did you see me, daddy?

    I fought with a razor blade today,
    -I lost the fight without trying.-

    Did you see me, daddy?

    I was drowning in a pool of blood,
    -I had no idea that I was dying.-

    Did you see me, daddy?

    I cried at my own funeral,
    -I was the only one who attended.-

    Did you see me, daddy?

    I died with a smile on my face,
    -I wasn't as happy as I pretended.-

    Do you see me now, daddy?

    Wake Up

    "So when are you gonna wake up?
    And realize that you're living a lie
    Your life isn't picture perfect
    So why do you even try?"

    This is what her conscious is telling her
    She needs to listen in order to learn
    But its become a daily process
    And there's no place to turn.

    She doesn't want to be a fake
    Someone who covers her tears
    With her pretty broke smile
    She's hidden all of her fears

    She know she's depressed
    And it's not a weird chemical mixture
    Its not something you can fix
    When you're like a broken picture.

    "If I can be strong for my friends
    Without any showing any exposure
    Just maybe finally one day
    I can let go of my composure"

    Oh the lies she told herself
    Just to soothe her shattered soul
    She just couldn't face reality
    She couldn't take control

    She knows she has a problem
    But who could she confide in?
    NOt her mother or best friend
    She knew she couldn't win?

    She couldn't turn to anyone
    She was in this all alone
    She couldn't take the pain
    Her heart had turn to stone

    She had nothing to depend on
    Gave up on her hopes and dreams
    It was her aganist the world
    So it had seemed...

    LAST WORDS

    To die is one thing that she craves
    Her last remaining will
    Sure that once she's dead and gone
    There'll be no urge to kill

    Streaks of black run down her cheeks
    Silent as her grave
    Whispers of the blinded truth
    She's one they cannot save

    Tortured mind and broken soul
    A mess without a cause
    So many lives she could have had
    But someone locked he doors

    Only one path left for her
    Self inflicted pain
    Cutting was the only way
    She kept herself half sane

    Never let herself be loved
    It would hurt too much
    No one would stay with her
    Through hurt and tears and such

    16 years she has endured
    and never has been kissed
    her frozen heart begins to melt
    it pours out of her wrist

    "lie me on a bed of roses
    thorns and buds alike.
    That represents the way I lived
    To heaven now I'll hike"

    "My blood will fall just like the tears
    from pain inside and out
    and of the way I chose to die
    there never was a doubt"

    "I didn't bleed my body dry,
    or choke on crystal tears.
    I died because you broke my heart,
    I've loved you all these years"
