Dead Of A Heartbreak / How Can You Still Call Me Beautiful

With yesterday’s make-up
Smeared across her face
She shies away
From his loving embrace

“What’s wrong?” he asks
“Nothing, why?” she replies
“I just want to know why
Your make-up’s smeared under your eyes.”

“Oh, it’s nothing, don’t worry.
I’ll be alright.”
“No really, what’s wrong?”
What happened last night?”

She tries hard not to break down
Right in front of him
Her soul is shattered again
She tries to push the pain within

“You know I care, please tell me.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”
“No you’re not, you’re not okay
You’re feeding me a line.”

“If I were to talk to you
Would you really care?
After it’s all done,
Would you still be standing there?”

“Oh, honey! You know I do.
Why wouldn’t I be?
When ever have I not been?
It’s alright, you can tell me.”

“I love this boy, but he doesn’t care…”
“Are you sure about that?”
“I’m pretty sure; he never did.”
“Now, why would you say that?”

“Well, he lives too far away
He used to live near me
And we rarely talk anymore
It’s hard to deal with really.”

“Who was this boys?
Where has he gone?”
“No, I can’t tell you
My feelings are wrong.

He has robbed me of my beauty
Stole it from within
When I stopped seeing this boy
He took it away with him.”

“You know, I think you’re lying
Because you know I can tell
That looking through your eyes
You can see you’ve gone through hell.

You’ve been robbed of something, yes
But not what you speak of
Your beauty and grace are still there
So is your kindness and love.”

“How can you still call me beautiful
While I’m standing here a mess
My face looks so horrible
Plus, this torn and tattered dress?”

“Baby, you shine from within
Your beauty glows and shows
I can see past the make-up
To see the real eyes, lips, and nose.”

“You’re just saying that because you have to
Because you’re just trying to be nice
But this is too much to deal with
I can’t let this happen twice.”

“Sweetie stop…I love you dearly
You know this much is true.
I have always been there for you
And I really truly do.”

As she stood there stunned
Her knees began to shake
As she fell down to the floor
Her whole body began to quake

As he bent to pick her up
He noticed something wrong
Her eyes were staring upwards
Her gaze fixed just too long

He held his dying baby
As she slowly slipped away
“I love you and want to marry you…
I was going to propose Valentine’s Day.”

Through her last moments of life
She tried to tell him, with pain
That he was the boy she loved so dearly
But her efforts were in vain

Her body limping, without a soul
For as she slipped out of life
Her one last dream that couldn’t come true
Was just to be his wife

As her love held her body
That had once been so full
He whispered softly in her ear
“How could I not call you beautiful?”

After her funeral the very next day
The boy broke down and cried
She was his everything in his life
He didn’t want her to die

So as the boy walked home
A dove flew over his head
As he watched it silently
He remembered what she said

And as the boy looked down
To walk to his home
He thought he felt something funny
It’s origin, unknown

Then he saw it shining
Lying on the ground
Her favorite golden necklace
That he just had found

He wondered how it got there
But somehow, it led him home
Then he finally realized
That she had already known

She knew he loved her dearly
Of course she knew that was true
But he never even told her
“Baby, I really love you.”

As he sat upon his couch
The boy felt such an ache
His friends found him the next day
Dead of a heartbreak.

Well, that's it! Hope it works for this!

wow, all of these poems are good. makes me wanna cry! :) he he he he

Solitude

I never thought to bathe in solitude
Nor reflect a sigh into the starless night
An echo for an echo; Twinge for twinge
Beneath silence I waited there, waited still

I never thought to weep these tears
Nor melt in Vincent's twisted oil sight
His brush for brush; Sketch for sketch
Then waited ever more, waited there alone

And born under winter light, empty snow
To heal while sun slips through the white
Scarlet blush, lost scarlet blush faded soft
But still I waited for the kiss, waited silent

While in solitude

Shell of Me
By: Twisted Heart

It wasn't just a heart he broke
That day he said goodbye
He took away the trust I had
With his deceit and lies
He left me scarred and tainted
In this shell where I now live
Unable to believe again
And so hard to forgive.
I see him every once and awhile
He had no trouble moving on
Unlike this mass of emptiness
That I can't see beyond.
Each morning I awake to find
That I'm nowhere near healing
And even though I try so hard
I can't get past my feelings.
Each night I lay beside the pillow
Where he once laid his head
I ask the same old questions
But the answers left unsaid.
Was it me that turned away
And stopped him in his tracks
Maybe he thought he had no choice
But to leave and not look back.
Still questions haunt my memory
They bring me to my knees
And leave me in this lonely shell
With barely air to breathe.

Past

My ex hubby loved me,
I'm sure he did once.
But he played with my head,
and made me feel like a dunce.

Ten years of my life,
and three gorgeus kids later.
He cheated on me,
and became a traitor.

He messed around with my mate,
well a so called friend.
and together they broke me,
I thought I'd not mend.

Three years after that,
I loved once again.
Little did I know,
She'd cause even more pain.

Not just emotionally and mentally,
but physical too.
I'd be covered in bruises,
of black and blue.

She pushed me and punched me,
strangled and bit.
She'd go from so loving,
into a frenzied fit.

Here excuse always the same,
'It's PMT.'
Like that would make right,
her head butting me.

Booted me in the face,
and the back of my head.
I left her for fear,
that I'd end up dead.

Two relationships down,
heartbroken, head sore.
I vowed never to fall,
in love anymore.

Thou God cast and bend me hard
Adorn me with unbreaking will
Set me aside to test my strength
Watch my footprints in plain thrill

My Coat of Arms symbol honor and pride
Bounding every task amongst my soul
Unable to break from pain-staking time
I struggle in humility to gain control

Pressure bearing upon my shoulders
As tremors and flashes fall unto my brain
Every"quiting" notion haunts my pale dreams
Blurring every answer in unwanting pain

My strength and pride yields agony
Allowing torture to inscribe on me
Showing discomforts of losing my skills
Forcing the truth so I may agree

I've tried to call it quits and that it's over
But disappointment interlopes in every way
So Still I tread this descending path
Staring as my bleak breaking soul decay

Remember My Tears
by ♥ .J.є.ѕ.ѕ.у. ♥

{...Remember My Tears...}

Elegantly falling over smooth cheeks
Destroying perfectly polished makeup
Sparkling lightly like scattered diamonds
Cutting deep canyons into soft pale skin..

{...Remember My Tears...}

Falling relentlessly like sapphire waterfalls
Smudging dark blood around saddened eyes
Carefully outlining their emerald coloring
Releasing all pain from within in salty drops..

{...Remember My Tears...}

Glowing delicately under the pale moon
Leaving black streams to flow across my face
Slowly washing away the dirt from my life
Remember my tears, because you created them..

Disaster

A ticking bomb is what I am...
Cause in an instant I hit ya, with a WHAM!

You thought I was perfect in a sense,
But in reality I am nothing but a dense.

My love should be locked away forever...
So I couldn't cause any more hurt ever!

A convent seems where I should be,
Because no relationship deserves me.

I regret all the pain I have caused you...
Cause hurting you is not what I wanted to do!

I could kick my self in the a** for this,
Knowing it takes more than just the piss.

The thought of losing you cause of my arrogance...
Makes me wish I could take my self presence!

Doing what is right for me is what I have been told,
But that doesn't help me as my life starts to unfold.

One by one; tear after tear begins to fall,
With the thought of a new surrounding wall.

Walls have always been a part of my life...
Not just as a challenge but more as a strife!

You truly deserve better than me,
But for some reason that is not what you see.

I have a friend, lover, and angel all wrapped in one...
My one thought is constant, "What have I done?!"

Understand, This is a Dream
by †!♪~*`Bryce Dressler`*~♪!†

Finding happiness in his sleep,
that life doesnt supply.
The pain that continually bears down,
never releasing
never easing.
Pulling him deeper
into a further slumber,
hiding him away from the world.
He doesnt realize in his dreams
everything is unrealistic,
his happiness and joy
when he wakes,
exists no more.
Lost in a reality
of depression and fantasies
waiting for nightfall
when he lives again...

((my first poem in like 2 months, sorry bout that))

all are great!!!!! :)

Until I herd her voice

By David Marshall

I felt so happy,
Until I herd her voice.
It brings back memories.
It brings back pain.
All I hear is rejection.
All I feel is rejection.
All I fear is rejection.
I hear her voice,
and I'm afraid to love again.
The world's against me.
All hope is pushed back.
Sorrow overflowing.
I can't balance my heart any more.
Her pride overthrows her feelings.
leaving me to my own.
She attempts to prove to me in words,
and fails with a sense of pride still left,
and a tear in my eye with a broken heart.
These feelings are released with no where to go.
I'm rejected and replaced with pride.
From the soul who can not control their decisions.
I'm left shattered and un attended to..
Not enough faith to live on.
When you look to the sky, you hope to find stars.
When you look to the ocean, you hope to see fish.
When you look for a forest, you hope to find trees.
When you look into their heart, you hope to find love.
But once you lose your hope.
you lose your sight,
and love turns to sorrow as sorrow slowly ends your fate.
The stars are gone,
The trees die.
The fish disappear,
and you still can't cry.
I felt so happy,
Until I herd her voice.
Her rejection.

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.

wow! i'm damn impressed!

Caged Animal With A Blade
by *tinyheart*

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.

i think ur poem (concealed) is really kool. all of u guys poem are great!

by John (Mr. Whuppy)

What a soldier must go through
(from personal experience)

Its now been five long years
since this bloody war began
and everyone's reduced
to being less than man
the civvies just don't know
what a soldier must go through
that's why he must turn off
deny whatever's true
to kill a man is awful
but it must be done
to kill or just to be killed
until the battles won
to watch your best friends head blow up
right in front of you
to hear the screams of grown up men
whilst their guts do spew
to see a river red with blood
to feel your feet sink in the mud
to wish your mom could hold your hand
will they ever understand
what a soldier must go through

wow kool! keep it up ppl!

can I change mine?
I have a new one I did tonight...

***I changed my poem. Same topic, just different poem.

This is definitely not my best.. But it means a lot to me. It brings -me- to tears everytime I read it. I hope you enjoy it and can feel the emotion.
--------------------------------------
Rusting bells chime in a towered distance,
Sounding quietly against the night's resistance,
Picking up sounds you will beg to escape;
Screams to be heard is a prisoner of rape.

Eight- thousand stars cry out to help the victim.
Around the stars night grows cold; ice storm falls numb
Trying to speak of a treacherous tale.
Knowing it can't speak, the wind begins to wail.

Bells shudder and chime, cracking under the screams,
Reaching out to save the withered, lost dreams.

Snow falls loudly; for the victim needed to hush;
The night turns away in utter disgust.
The snow dashing over icing, streaming tears,
The man of a thousand words creates our fears.

As ringing bells chime in a towered distance,
Breaking the creeping silence for an instant.

With a shuttering cry the night gives away,
To whisper of the tragic tales to the day.
The day then lurches out, crying in dismay,
About the withered lies; bloodied they lay.

As the man takes a soul that is only half there,
Silence over takes the tolling bells that stare.
Of this terrible dream that does not protest,
Those who do not dream certainly are blessed.

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

Understanding: It is about someone being raped and all of nature is protesting it... But it was only a dream.

xDarkSuicidex

sure u can change it. and i'm sorry about the poem^ watever happened......it's ok......wat i want here is not THE BEST but a poem that will make me cry, feel the feelings u got wen u wrote this poem, ok?

Unchained

You, my hooded falcon,
Once creened promises of love,
Enjoyed being touched by my hand

But I should have known
I could never keep you here
Child of the skies

So I cut your jesses
Unbound your lovely wings
And let you soar away to freedom

You never once looked back

So glad to be free of me, and my constrictions
So happy to turn your back and fly
So joyful of your new beginning

Was I that horrible?

The memories I once treasured seem so distant
And I no longer know if they're true
My beloved

I won't chain you, so I let you go
But that doesn't stop my tears

A soft trill from the sky caught my attention
A quick glimpse of your shining eyes
Whispering goodbye

ok thank you, I just wrote that one last night and wanted to use it...so I went ahead and switched it, thanks for allowing me to do that...

Kill Me

You fucking bastard
Look what you did
Why don’t you kill me
Let my bloody death
Be upon your raging hands?

Why did you stop?
Can you not see
There is still life
Breathing within me?

Why can’t you kill me
Or else let me be?
Can you not tell
I am past broken
From your beatings?

My right shoulder
Seems to be your favorite
But then again
Since my surgery
You know that it is my weakest

Another fist in my back
Across the face I take another smack
Here a jib there a jab
It feels as though another bone has cracked

Please, Father, hear me beg
Let this be it
Let me take my last breath
Please, Father, I plea to thee
Let this son of a bitch
Hurry and murder me.

~Harsh Words~

Harsh words go straight to the heart,
She knew it would happen right from the start.
Everything was wrong not one thing right,
Her life turned around after that one fight.

Innocent words not meant to do harm,
But deep down inside she was not so calm.
You would never think one person could cause this,
But everything she felt, everyone would miss.

One cold night when she was alone,
Thinking and worrying as she held the phone.
Should she call him and solve there fight,
Or sit there sad and alone all that night.

She sat staring into her life, what had gone so wrong,
As she listened over and over to there very own song.
Smiles, laughs no one thought there relationship would end like this,
But she will always remember that very last kiss.

All she wanted was the pain to end,
So she picked up knife thinking the scars would mend.
How wrong she was as she fell to the floor,
But the love they had will last forever more.

Scarred Without You

As I stare into this photograph,
Tears of pain, burn my cheeks,
As I cry for you, my darling friend.
My heartaches, you meant so much.
It is not fair, you were too young,
You were supposed to live forever.
I never got to say a proper goodbye,
And as each day passes,
My heart bruises more.
Every night I lye on your grave,
My tears soak into the ground,
Down to you.
Why did this happen?
You never did anything wrong.
Why cant the innocent ever last?
My heart is scarred,
Without you by my side.

*for my dear friend, Willandra. love him sooooooo much and forever i will..!!!!*
xoxo

ur welcome crazyandsweet!

May I enter please? I wrote this..last week.

The Price

"Have you heard? Shes gone!"
Suicides the price,
to finally get her classmates,
to talk about her nice.

"Pack her things up neat!"
Their driven by the money,
her parents sold her off,
Aren't their actions funny?

"No more watching that darkish girl!"
Shes restored her teacher's sanity.
Sit far back, don't say a word,
her gift to humanity.

"My beautiful girl is gone!"
Her loving boy is hurt.
He trys to keep a straight face,
as tears run down his shirt.

"I trusted you above everyone!"
Her best friend sobs at night.
Seeing her buddy covered in blood,
was just to much of a sight.

"I don't think I can go on!"
Her last words to us all.
But now if she were here she'd warn,
don't ever let your hopes fall.

"The world is an unfair place!"
It seems either way you loose,
stay alive or kill yourself,
which one will you choose?

wow, a lot of emotions and dialogue, great job!
