"My final goodbye"

He walks into his house,
checks the mail box on the way,
It is always empty,
yet he checks it every day.

But today is different,
now there is a letter there,
It is adressed to him,
Theres tension in the air

He walks up to his house,
with the letter in his hand,
He sits down on a bench.
Why now? He doesn't understand.

He knows whos the sender,
He knows it is from her.
She'll tell him about how shes doing,
missing how things were.

He can't believe she even dared,
didn't she remember it?
She broke up with him,
She just said she wanted to quit.

He knows now she wants him back,
but she should have gone away,
Now he can't stop thinking of her,
Shes in his mind every day.

He walks into the house, his room,
Grabbes a paper and pen,
He sits down by his desk,
thinking of her again.

The letter is still untouched,
he doesn't want to know,
He knows she'll say the same thing,
"Darling I miss you so."

He writes and writes,
the words come like fire,
She askes her to stop,
Stop this burning desire.

"Honey I don't want you back,
I think you do know why.
I can't hold on to this anymore,
This is my final goodbye"

Great Job!!! Keep em coming!!!

Mistakes

People say that I'm making mistakes
But sometimes I just like to feel good
It's not like I am throwing life away
And I've been doing the best I could

Behind all these shivers and shakes
I am feeling so right on the inside
I couldn't quit now if I really wanted to
But it's not like I've never even tried

Deep down I know this is so wrong
And slowly I feel my body shut down
It's only your voice that can save me
But I go back when you're not around

I only wish that I could finally be saved
From over and over making mistakes
For once I am starting to realize
The toll that my already weak body takes

I can see that you are trying to help
You're the only one that believes in me
You've been through this once before
And you know what I feel, you can see

You reach out, but I am fading away
Last chance to save my body as it breaks
It is sneaking up on me finally I see
Feeling good was just a bunch of mistakes

*I sort of wrote this about Mimi... from Rent.

hehe, just thouht I should mention i have a poem title 'Final Goodbye' lol but I'll write a poem shortly

Im in the middle of writting "nobody knows it but me".. can i reserve or no?

~Best Friends~

Night and day I question
The world
Night and day
I sometime
Grow with sorrow.
If it was not for you
I do not think I would be here
If it was not for you
I do not think
I would smile.

Thank you for
Every thing
You are my love,
My heart,
My world,
My soul,

Best friends
To the end
I am proud to say.
I know we may
Not like each other
At times this you know,
But we are Best Friends
So that is okay.

Through thick and thin
We have come out alive.
We have battle through
Many dangers
And past many test.
Our friendship is stronger
And nothing will brake
The bond that
We have created.
Best friends we are
Best friends to the end.

im gonna no longer reserve "nobody knows it but me."!!!

Uncontrollable Lies
----------------------------

Shattered dreams, and silent smoke
Rises from the fiery floor
Flames, symbols, of lost hope
And I don't like you anymore

Building blocks of endless time
Lie among the ruins of peace
Drenched in blood, my faithless crime
My failing mind has lost belief

Forever more, I'll hold the stain
Scar of a drunken memory
Stalked by this inner pain
The world is now my enemy

Losing sense of right and wrong
As all trace of pity dies
In a place I don't belong
Controlled by uncontrollable lies

Peace. [Sole]

All poems are great so far!!! Keep em coming!!!

Daddy's Girl

"I'm sorry I was so bad"
Tears stream from her eyes
"This is my fault"
Rain pours from the sky

Shuddering in the cold
"I'm sorry, so sorry"
Wind smacks her in the face
"It's all because of me"

"Daddy, can you hear me?"
She gripps the picture tight
"Come back, please..."
Her cries go unheard in the night

Rain runs along the streets
"You're still my world"
Pounding down around her
"Am I still your little girl?"

"Am I still daddy's girl?"
Memories flash all around
"Do you forgive me?"
Getting closer to the ground

Falling into pools of mud
"Why, Daddy, Why?"
Sobbing uncontrollably
"Daddy, why did you die?"

Great Job!! Come on people WRITE!!!!

~Nobody Knows It But Me~

A relationship bound by the court,
two parents yearning to abort.
One child's postpartum deport,
a life, from the start, out of sorts.

The help of two elders, they sought,
a custody battle, never fought.
Drug addict parents, got caught,
important lessons, never taught.

A baby that was left behind,
consequences of a legal bind.
A lifestyle of a different kind,
viewpoints from a distorted mind.

A family separated by years in time,
a life with a different rhythm and rhyme.
Two people, making up for another's crime,
always living off of their last dime.

A difficult situation from the start,
a unique picture, of an unpopular art.
A family, nearly torn apart,
two grandparents, certainly, off the charts.

An unwanted boy, now full grown,
held together by seams, left un-sewn.
Approaching life with a whole different tone,
hoping, some day, to live life on his own.

~Sean Dohr~

-This poem is about my parents leaving me when I was young and my grandparents raising me, something that only few of my friends know about.

SCARED OF BEING ALONE by dhaval

The weather beaten garden clock betrays some laziness
The once precise hands have now grown rhythm-less

The laced hammock sways beneath the winking stars
And the silver moonlight floods the dale of flowers

But something strikes my heart as I lie in that light
Enveloped in the velvet silence of this queer night

The dancing flame of fire still burns the candle wick
The bottle of cherry wine lies smashed by my drunken kick

The wind is steady; blows strong without a change
But somehow this heart of mine has never felt as strange

But now my thoughts chase each other to victory
And I finally understand the cause of my misery

On this very hammock she used to be in my embrace
I used to kiss her till she fell asleep, exhaling on my face

On this quiescent trail we had patted smiling flowers
Formed imaginary hearts by joining the radiant stars

Between these very hills our winter moons had sunk
We’d break the wine bottles each time we got drunk

The butterflies had blushed upon seeing our first kiss
Laying on the fresh-cut grass, enclosed in a smitten mist

And now I lie, drunk, with wine and memories of two
I hope missing her is not something I must get used to

The air of strangeness transforms to a glacial breath
This new life of loneliness is in fact a living death

The wind puts out the candle, darkness adds to gloom
Even the gusts now bring the rosy scent of her perfume

And as it intoxicates me, my eyes turn to scour
I look around for her, until I realize she is afar

But every time a star falls, this heart of mine believes
It searches for her, once again, amidst the mocking breeze...

IM SORRY

Im sorry you cant see me,
Or gently touch my skin,
Or even give me kisses,
I feel your pain within.

Im sorry you cant hold me,
Or watch me when I sleep,
All you have are memories,
And photos that you keep.

Im sorry im not with you,
To help around the house,
Or even laugh when you have run,
Because you seen a mouse.

Im sorry your not laughing,
Or smiling as you did,
All this turmoil deep inside,
You've kept it all well hid.

But most of all im sorry,
That God took me away,
Cause everyday I hear you cry,
Theres nothing I can say.

Im sorry im an angel,
You know that I still care,
I always promise mummy,
For you I will be there.

Very touching^^

good job

Thank you very much tammy.

Never knowing the truth~Emma

I believed in a karma,
That we get what we give,
I believed we had a theory,
And so I continue to live,

I believed in you,
I believed in the afterlife,
I believed your words and meanings,
Then I believed relief in a knife,

I believed I was self-centered,
Only because you told me so,
I believed I was seeking attention,
For you let me know,

My tears I believed were weak,
For you saw and spoke,
I believed my poetry was pathetic,
As you breathed it in to me as I woke,

I believed my life was spared,
For I had an angel here with me,
I even told you, but you never cared,
You kicked me blind when I could not see,

I resent my old beliefs,
That I was last to know,
I was cheated of a God,
So I let 'The Bible' go,

The sins you had made,
Condemned the end of now,
The pain from every side of me,
I spoke through tears, how?

I believe now an end,
Of the evil spread inside,
You said you only spoke the truth,
Of this I believe you lied.

This is from a past relationship, Im not sure if this is going to stay related to only one person but for now it is.
If it seems to suck thats because i wrote from inside not from what i think you'll like and want to care about.
so I end by saying.
Good Luck.
And I hope you find love for someone, and have it equally returned.
And to those who've cheated on someone that loves you, you're pathetic.

Thank you and goodnight.
~Emma

I Couldn't Ask for More

i needed your love
those caressing words
those enveloping hugs and
passionate kisses but
i couldnt ask for more

you helped me with my unhappy life
my failing schoolwork and hating friends
whenever i was alone, lonely in my room
you came to me, to talk me through it
you made sure that i wasnt afraid in my lonliness
and so they kept away from me,
because you spoke for me,
you were always there and
i couldnt ask for more

seeing you made my heart jump
whenever you came to see me
i wished it was as a lover
but you came with her, your darling
and even though i ached for your touch
and inside i was crying
for the fearing of losing you but
i couldn't ask for more
