~~GOT A NEW ONE~~

Memories Broke and Bleeding

It's sucking the life from me
Reaching in with fists of pain
Clenching at my tender heart
Only hurt insides remain.
Tarnished promises, broken dreams
Within this empty shell
I sit in darkened labor
In misery is were I dwell.
No hope is brought to linger
It's all been wiped away
By actions of a notion
Who placed me here, in love's decay.
Now lonely are the words you said
A victim of your making
All the happiness I gave
Sitting here and wasting.
Like rotted fruit upon the vine
The stench, too much to bare
My soul is slowly dying
It's lost in time somewhere.

hope this is ok

You Need to Eat
By: ~*Who Cares?*~

Baggy, blood-shot eyes,
Stains from tears cried.
Sore throat, messed up mouth,
But let's take our gaze south.

Skinny tummy, nothing there,
People always point and stare.
"You need to eat," they say,
Food goes in, but doesn't stay.

Goes out with friends, eats a lot,
Comes home, loses all she's got.
Looking in the mirror, put to shame,
"I'm so fat!" is said, screaming in vain.

Counselors try and help, no avail,
Barred in her prison with no bail.
"You need to eat!" is all that's heard,
Now can't stop the mutiny that's occurred.

Only 98 pounds, but still trying to lose,
Giving in to drugs and booze.
She slits her wrists and writes a note,
Dies right there next to her final quote:

"Here I am, no longer for you to see,
'You need to eat' 4 words that describe me.
I'm sick of you all, caring too much,
Now you'll never again feel my soft touch"

-Gods' Will.-

The bombs of yesterday, pulsing in my ears,
the mechanical soldiers of today, going away for years.
Lives on the line, deaths all around,
slipping in and out of bombs, implanted in the ground.

Cities up in smoke, children fleeing from the empty streets,
warcrafts armed and ready, gathering in fleets.
With a gun slung over his arm, he wipes the sweat off of his brow,
lowers his head in misery, remembering his vow.

Fighting for his country, a man of honor,
tears falling down, encrusting to his armor.
He gets down on his knees, prays to the almighty lord,
and as he said "a'men", the skies roared.

Planes falling from every which way he turned,
pilots up in smoke, falling as they burned.
Lives are ending, hearts are slain,
and he remembered his words so vain.

He told his wife and kids he'd return again someday,
and now for his family, he did pray.
he sprints across the field, running for his life,
and at the bang, all he heard was the voice of his wife.

She told him she loved him, and she would see him again,
But the only place she saw him was the news on channel ten.
Her eyes shot open, her heart skipped a beat,
her husband had just died in defeat.

She took the kids to her sisters, told her to take care of them for a while,
kissed them all good-bye with but one last smile.
She went home and layed upon her bed,
took her husbands' gun, and put it to her head.

The tears rolled down, as her eyes shut tight,
and she knew in no time that everything would be alright.
For thy heavenly father, in all of his grace,
will rejoin the lovers, with a smile on his face.

And written in blood, was her good-bye,
to her children who could see her in the sky.
Heaven gained another angel today, one by the name of Jill,
and it all came together, with the help of Gods' will.

Children Abuse {CinqTroisDecaLa Rhyme}

Silent songs of horror display through freezing children's veins,
Many darkened pitied nights among the saddened days remain,
Telling the stories of a child's lost, broken, battered soul,
Whispering as the child fails because of the darkened cold.
Listen closely to this child's scared cries out among the earth,
They struggle to be heard through other cries in the universe,
Realizing their lost hopes and single chance at life was a curse,
Beckoning as the tragedy creeps closer, creating pain,
Settling with the thoughts that won't stop - they are sunk in too low,
The battered children never found, on that night, what they were worth.

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

The CinqTroisDecaLa Rhyme, a form created by Laura Lamarca, consists of one 10-lined stanza.
The rhyme scheme for this form is AABBCCCABC and a syllable count of each line is 15.

Thru The Eyes Of A Child.

I'm awake now
lying in my bed

Momma and daddy are fighting again
I've covered my head, yet that doesn't work
I can still hear their every word.

my brother's awake
he takes my hand
because we're both
afraid of the backlash from daddy's hand.

Mommy please
don't let daddy get mad
we don't want to be
another punching bag.

Daddy please don't call mommy that
after all she did what you asked.
Momma's crying now
daddy has left.
He must really be mad
from the things that he said.

I just thank God
my brothers and I are in bed
I know this sounds bad
sometimes I wish that my daddy was dead.

It wasn't always like this you see
Daddy used to be nice to my brothers and me
Then one day he went to work
Mommy said that day his head got hurt.

Daddy hit his head one morning
driving the bus
The hospital called
mommy left in a rush.

It was a three-car accident
outcome was sad.
Daddy now has brain damage
remains very mad.

I hear mommy coming
I better tuck back in bed
We don't want her to know
daddy is hitting us again.

--Sherry Lynn Hull Richardson

Danted By Truth

Languishing memories wandering,
With many distant solitude thoughts,
Painted pictures freezing over time,
Compelling lips to tie double knots.

Should I speak of truth?

No, I can't.

Carnage words forsaking emotions,
Immersing dilemmas beyond sight,
Daunted by truth in need of repairing,
Battling a constant contagious fight.

Should I just give up?

No, I can't.

Baffling days seem to be hopeless,
Mistakes carve into walls built around,
Scorching all pure, innocent beauty,
Framed portraits stay left on the ground.

Should I show my pain?

No, I can't.

Distracted faces turn and walk away,
Ashamed from unworthy familiar lies,
Rivalry's between false and honesty,
Go unheard along with tears she cries.

......I think I'm afraid of telling the truth.

Broken

Your words slice through me
sharp as a knife
my blissful happiness is gone
because of this strife
each day is the same
you break me, then put me back together
i'll go in my room to hide
when i come out, you act like you don't remember
you don't see how hurt i am
even though it's so clear
and no matter how many times i cry
you don't see a single tear
you don't understand how much pain you cause me
you'll never understand my sorrow
you don't know how many times i pray
that it'll be better tomorrow
but it'll never be better
for when i think there's finally peace
it's all torn away
it comes to a cease
i end up broken
just like before
all the suffering i've gone through
i'll go through once more
i wish you'd stop this yelling
it makes me feel like such a failure
you don't realize what you're doing
my life is becoming my nightmare
my memories are haunting me
i'm restless every night
i cannot fall asleep
all i can do is cry
the next day you come up to me
you put me together again
then you say you're sorry
and you think you've been forgiven
but there's something different now
something is not right
for a piece of me is missing
one that's beyond your sight
i feel like all my true happiness is gone
i'm in this deep depression
but nobody will ever know this
for i'm lying and pretending
i'll never show how i really feel
unless you're someone i trust
you'll never see a single tear shed
in public my pain turns to dust
but no matter what i lead you to believe
inside i am crying silently
for i know if things keep going this way
my nightmare will become my reality

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.

The night it all went down
by ŘÅÇĦ♥

A razor blade
A stained towel
Blood on the floor
and when they get there it is too late
all that is left
is blood stained notes on the floor to each of her friends
A young girl left dead.
Their emoitons in a tangle
and the room begins to swirl
She was mommys little Angel
And Daddys little girl

omg omg omg thats 10!!!!!!

OMG! That was fast!

NOW ITS 11!

October Rain

You don't know how you make me feel, standing here next to you. Knowing that I love you, and hoping you love me too. The dark purple sky, with clouds all around. As the soft rain falls on us, and we listen to it's sound.

I wish it would never end, this beautiful October rain, because when I'm with you, I can feel no pain. As we lay on the ground, staring up at a star. I think of all the good times, and how we've come so far.

Had I only just known, it would be our last night. If someone would have told me it would be your last sight. I never would have let you go, as we walked around, and listened to the wind blow.

However now i'm alone, you're simply a memory. forgotten by all, all of course except me. I kept you in my heart, but it just caused me pain. As I tried to hold on, I started going insane.

I want to be with you, want to see you anew. so i found out a way, to be with you real soon. and as i pick up this gun, and hold it up to my brain. i'll never forget, that this is my last October Rain.

Never Stopped Loving You....

Why did you leave me after all we had...
Why did you push me away...
Did you want me with you at all...
Why did leave me for another woman after i gave you everything..
Why did you get married to her when i told you how i felt....
Why did you forget about me...
I turned a teacher....
And i saw your kids everyday...
I was their favorite teacher....
I wish they were ours....
our kids...
Do you really love her??
Did you feel anything for me??
In my soul i am dead hoping to come back to life to see you once more.....
But now you notice me..
at Back to school night...
You started to talk to me more..
I loved it...
But your wife made you move...
I can't see your beautiful kids anymore...
nor you..
But why do you say that you truly loved me when I lay dying in your arms..
I couldn't handle it anymore....
You just not With me in my soul...
Why are you holding me saying that you care with all your heart..
But all i can say to you is that....
before i am gone from this world..
*whispers* i never stopped loving you....

Now it's 13...

Yay!
