Can it just be a sad poem?

Okay, well I'll post one now. If it doesn't fit in with the rules, just say so. =)

----------------------------------------------------

No Evidence.

Weak violated shattered heart,
Ripped into shreds; pulled apart.
Evil demon who creeps at night,
Stole innocence without a fight.

Bruises, cuts, scars or burns?
No evidence to prove the wrong.
Shortened air; unable to breathe,
Too much force; she isn't strong.

Strange voices echo in her mind,
Reminding of what's left behind.
Weak violated shattered heart,
Ripped into shreds; pulled apart.

Broken, torn, completely alone,
No evidence to prove the wrong.
Physical abuse at it's very best,
But puzzle pieces don't belong.

Evil demon who creeps at night,
Stole innocence without a fight.
Proud he was; so unbelievable,
Mind and soul's now unreachable.

No evidence to prove the wrong,
While simple words can be spoken,
Forceful actions is what's strong.

Tears Under The Willow Tree

Sitting under an old willow tree
She carefully wipes away her tears
And cradles her broken heart
This is one of her worst fears..

The memories of the day he left
Still linger in her wounded mind
The denial, the fear, and the pain
Are all that’s left behind..

Slowly her emerald eyes fill with tears
Everything in her life is starting to blur
Her brain is telling her to forget him
But her heart just wont let her..

No matter how hard she tries
The love she cannot forget
It has surged through her heart
Since the very first day they met..

hope you like it.. :)

great work.

KEEP IT COMING PEOPLE!!!!

~Postpartum Deport~

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~

Goodbye my Lover

I guess this is goodbye, although not in my heart,
Said you'd never leave me, yet now we are apart.
You said you'd love me until the day I die,
Promising never to hurt me, never to make me cry.

Look at us now, just two faces among the crowd,
Thought you loved me, but this was not allowed.
Now I sit here, alone crying in my bed,
Yet I can't get our image out of my head.

Goodbye my lover, this is now the end,
No more hanging out, no longer my best friend.
Goodbye sweetie, love you although you're gone,
Now I guess it's time, for me to just move on.

I remember a time, way back when we were young,
"We Belong Together" is what we always sung.
Now look at us, can't even talk anymore,
Yet you took my heart when you walked out the door.

Told me on the phone, how one day we'd be wed,
Now not a word spoken, all love has completely fled.
Can't get over, what you said to me that night,
Let me just say, you and I, never again will be alright.

Goodbye my lover, this seems to be the end,
Still can't believe I lost my very best friend.
Goodbye sweetie, love you though you're gone,
In my heart you'll always be there, but it's time to move on.

Black Roses
by Sarah Drew

Black roses sitting on my nightstand
Slowly wilting to nothing
Along with my heart

These black roses
Never knew they would be
My goodbye present

He left a note along side the bouquet
He told me our love was through
He was only playing a game

My poor heart meant nothing
Not to him, not to his hidden girlfriend
They kept their secret for so long

Sneaking around behind my back
They had their secret
They played their games

It is all over with us now
But still, he wants to be friends
I do not understand it all

He says he was playing a game
With my now broken heart
Yet, he still wants to remain close

He cheated on me, with my best friend
He says he still loves me
But I know it is just a lie

I do not care anymore
I will play along with this little charade
He can have his fun for now

In the end I will be victorious
He can play games, but I will play mine
Just wait and see what happens next

He broke my heart
I will break his neck
As I tell him thanks for the roses

Great everyone.
5 down 10 to go.

True Love?
by †!♪~*`Bryce Dressler`*~♪!†

He loved the girl,
The one who took his heart.
A beautiful face,
That tore him apart.

She manipulated,
And deceived.
But her love for him,
He wanted to believe.

He looked away,
Ignored the lies.
Because he loved the girl,
that made him cry.

She made him smile,
She made him cry.
Without her now,
He would surely die.

But she didnt know,
she played her little game.
Not knowing every second,
It was bringing more pain.

This boy loved,
This girl played,
He actually believed,
this girl would stay.

He thought he was,
The luckiest man in the world,
To have the one of his dreams,
The most beautiful girl.

Until a fateful day,
when he finally saw.
His true love,
Begin to withdraw.

A simple kiss,
then another one after.
He watched her beautiful face
as it filled with laughter.

Completely torn apart,
His heart ripped from his chest.
For him to leave,
Would be for the best.

He wrote his note,
While he cried and he bled.
To let the world know,
Why he had fled.

He sharpened the knife,
He cried his last tear.
And took his own life
For the love that was so dear.

Caged Animal With A Blade
by XxXLaurenxXx

Caged in this dark prison
my only relief: a rusted blade
and the memories of the beauty and light
will forever fade

the cage I'm in is made of your love,
your hate, your pain, and your lies
they've trapped me here for my whole life
and even after i die

this murderous pain and suffering
it is what you've done to my soul
and its being torn apart piece by piece
it'll never again be whole

this cage of death is your love
and this wretched blade is mine
its the only pain i can cause
theres a heart beneath those lines

this razor blade opens the truth
though it seems as though only my skin
it breaks through this barren cage
and shows whats truly within.

feelings mean nothing in this prison
i am but an animal caged and forgotten
only this animal has been torn apart
and has been left cold and rotten

this razor cuts away the dead flesh
and shows whats truly there inside
but this lovely gift comes with a price
and emotions whats denied.

please let me out of this prison
i have exposed my every thought
but still I'm locked up in this prison
even though i am overwrought.

Great work to everyone who has posted.
I'm loving all of it. It's gonna be hard to judge, but there's still time if more people want to enter.

We Were Walking...

By Tormented

I am in love
You are in Love
So what things have come to be?
I am not unfaithful
You are not unfaithful
So why do we hold so much against eachother?
W were walking together
So what caused these distances between us?
We dont even know
Where we are headed?

My heart is immersed in pain
My eyes are filled with tears
This season of lonliness
Isolates me from my path
We had dreamt of achieving our goal together
But now our paths are different
Even as we walked together
I wonder how we lost our way?

Anyone else want to enter????

Hush

Metronome heart marked,
Binding indentured leash,
Talon doubt fractured eye,
Blinded morale inside,

Secluded prints soiled,
Crude unadorned skin,
Thirst craved fingertips,
Traced the spinal cord,

........Hush. It's our secret.
.........We must never tell.

Grieved rejected-Stained,
Mourned crestfallen sight,
Lacerated soul distressed,
Blackout-Lost recollection,

Impaired beyound belief,
Invaded thoughts pound,
A Bruised skelatal frame,
Find no fault, this I pray,

........Hush. It's our secret.
.........We must never tell.

Great Work to everyone.

KEEP THE POEMS COMING!!!
THERE ARE ONLY 6 SPOTS LEFT!!!

~What's Left Of Me~

Are you finished making fun of me?
Do you wish to pick your
Teeth with my bones?
Leave me here to rote
Leave me alone and
Gather what’s left of me.

Bloody tears role
Down my cheeks
My wrist sliced so
Deep no feeling is
Left in my slender hand.

I wish to lie here by myself
I have nothing left to loose,
I lost this battle
Which I call life
I will not travel
With you tonight.

In the shadows
Is were I lay
Cold and damp
No faint whisper
In my ear.
Hollow my heart
Does feel,
Can you see my
Soul in the gateway
Of my eyes?

What’s left of me
Is not so great
I am only a child
That feels no pain.
Pick on me as much
As you like
Treat me with no respect
I am hollow inside.
Do not worry for
I feel not pain
This is all
what’s left of me.

Nothing too special
Nothing too great
Hear me sigh
As I slip away
For I have
Nothing left inside of me.
Hollow in my heart
The gateway is closed,
This is all that’s
What’s left of me.

My Story

I have this story I tell
When someone asks why
I put myself through hell
Or why I wanna die

It all started one day
Way back in the 6th grade
Thats when I had my first encounter
With my lovely little blade

It was one of those days
Where you regret everything you say
Where nothing goes your way
Just another normal day

The day I learned how unforgiving
God can trully be
And all the spite and hate he was saving
Just to give to me

It was around lunchtime
When I was called to the office
And was told about a crime
That was full of passion and malice

Earlier that morning
My father hit bottom
And started drinking and swearing
Pretty soon mother began yelling
So father started shouting
And before either of them knew it
They were face to face, fist fighting
Mother was scratching, bitting, and slapping
Father was hitting, kicking, and laughing

Father got tired
And grabbed a knife
He slashed up his wife
And brutally ended her life

He left the knife in the sink
And wrote a confession in ink
Then left without a blink

I've never seen him since
But still I slit my wrist
And try to hide the evidence
That I'd rather not exist

Can i withdraw???

Cuz you guys are GOOD in fact you r GREAT!!!

You shouldn't withdraw.
but I guess if you must you can.

y would u withdraw? whtas the worst thatll happen? u dont place? woot?

The Sun's Failing Doom

Heaven blazes our eyes,
We stand still in sacrifice,
Autumn sings her lullaby,
We take it in as Heaven cries.

The sun sings a mournful tune,
He shines over butterfully tombs.
Darkness arises with the coming moon;
He's the reason for the sun's failing doom.

The stars gather around in surprise,
They watch aghast as the sun quickly hides,
They watch closely as the moon comes to defy,
Witnessing silently as the burning sun dies.

*If this isn't what you were looking for, please tell me and I'll get a different poem... But I liked this one and thought it fit since it was a 'dark' poem.

You Will Kill Me!!!!!!!

I'm sorry for all those things I said,
But I am not a fool!
I can see right through you're act,
Through your declared love,
And what makes it worse-
Is she doesn't even care!
She would NOT, for one second think about the damage,
The damage she inflicted on your heart.
She would laugh at your tears,
But I would not!
You had your chance, you threw it away
Maybe you'll regret it,
Maybe you won't,
But I won't be around to see!
I wish things ended a different way.
I hope you still get everything you wanted
But this is me closing the door,
This is me TRYING to walk away!
Just know you could have easily had me,
But you chose her
Someone who'll never love the way I do,
Although I suppose you'll never love me like you love her!

I suppose you never loved me
And that's ok!
I'm ending this today,
Time will change!!!!
And one day I will breathe without you
Because I cannot let you kill me!!!!!

Mirror, Mirror

How long must I wait?
A couple more beers,
And it’s me he won’t date?
He wants to take this slow,
But I really need to know,

Do you really love me,
Or are you looking for some ass?
With how you been acting,
I really don’t need to ask.

This room is filled with smoke,
Like my head filled with recants
I know my heart broke,
When he took off my pants.

How many times are we going to do this.
Before you tell me you love me,
I hope that you feel it with every kiss,
And that you’ll never put someone above me.

My friends keep saying,
That he will never change,
But I keep praying,
That this is not a game,

You got me down on my knees,
What are you waiting for?
I hate it when you put it in,
I feel so much like a whore.

How can I live this way?
Holding on to you,
When I know letting you go away,
Is the best thing to do.

I leave you behind,
And head to the bathroom,
Half moonshined,
Covered in toxic fumes,

I looked in the mirror
And asked for help,
When I saw the reflection,
Of someone else.

Whoops, I forgot the title. It's 'Mirror, Mirror.'

No i changed my mind im not withdrawing anymore.
