My Guardian Angel
Oscar
[Dark]

I stand here protected, as one guarded child.
I sit alone safely, where nothing is wild.
Never been in danger, never in harm's way.
and all of life's challenges, waited at bay.

i have always been happy, for I've never felt pain.
my angel stands by me through sun snow and rain.
she is always smiling. and a smile she receives.
she tricks enemies away, or is it me she deceives?

I have always been guarded, and so never in fear.
and I stay locked up always, year after year.
have not seen a human, for she said they are bad
and even though i am healthy, i remain sad.

have i been missing out, is there much more to life,
could i someday have children and maybe a wife?
I must see it for myself, no longer can i wait.
i must be fragile, for fear is a human trait.

i wanted the experience, yet she locked me in.
i tried to run away, but she will always win.
I'm stuck here forever, i cry through the night.
and for the first time ever, i am feeling fright.

so long's gone by now, i still am stuck here.
i now cry every night, for real life is so near.
but here i shall stay, until my final breath.
so is she My Guardian Angel, or my Angel of Death.

these are great so good keep them up xxx alex xxx

My Rose

I have a rose
It can be two colors:
Lush red for when I'm happy, and
Modest black for when I'm sad

I want someone I can't have
My rose is always black because of that
I fell so hard for her
Knowing full well that I might not have her

She is the only possible way that my rose will change to red
Until then I will always walk this earth alone
Wanting your heart to be mine
And mine yours

Sometimes, I think of you as my rose:
My beautiful rose
Whether it be red or black, it is still beautiful
I don't know why I think this of you
Apparently I have some feelings for you
Enough to think of you as my beautiful rose

When we're under the cloudless midnight sky,
The moonlight casts shadows upon our faces
They light up in perfection
Because, I'm beginning to realize, you are my rose

I have a rose
It can be two colors:
Lush red for when I'm happy, and
Modest black for when I'm sad

Black Rainbow
By: Twisted Heart

The twisted spirals curved in the sky
Among the thunder of the storm
The lightning pierces jagged fingers
Into its humbled lifeless form.

Upon the wicked night it crashes
No color lingers in its path
Broken pieces of shattered light
Bow before the fierce attack.

In distance comes the torrid rain
To splash against the angry sphere
Meager strikes in weak defense
Among the blades of deadly tears.

It slices through the veins of bondage
And curves once more in shadow's caste
Taking the strength of those around it
To rise above the littered path.

Black arches of a shadow lingers
To claim witness to the skies of gray
And calm the harried stars of valor
With streaks of darkness on display

I Can't Lie... It Hurts Like Hell
[sad/lost love]

[I can't lie... It hurts like hell]

Our love was great, guess it was wrong.
I for You did not belong.
You did what was right, It'll be okay.
In time we'll both find our own way.
Thank You for the time we had.
For that opportunity I am so glad.

[I can't lie... It hurts like hell]

I know You never wanted to cause me pain.
You tried your hardest to refrain.
In the long run, we'd have hurt more.
Right now it's killing that's for sure.
I wish You happiness as a friend.
Hoping your heartache's soon to mend.

[I can't lie... It hurts like hell]

I know You're hurting just like me.
Guess this is how it's meant to be.
Broken hearts and shattered dreams.
Are not easy by any means.
Thanks for your honesty and being true.
Thanks for the chance of loving You.

[I can't lie... It hurts like hell]

Jealousy
**sad*

Jealousy

I now have time to think,
Jealousy was eat away inside of me.
I hated her smile because it was so unique,
I felt as her beauty was beyond me.

Her hair was wavy like to her the sea belong,
and it time my bitterness found me all alone.

Her laughter was like the birds songs on a hot summer day. I try ignore her but the sound of laughter wouldn’t go away.

She had everything I wanted and more. She confident, I had doubts. She had faith things
would work out. She had a heart that could dry
up the rain, but I had a heart full of pain.

She had everything I wanted and more, it was like someone took away my joy. Jealousy enter this empty heart of mines.

Bitterness, loneliness became a crime in time I l ost my soul and mine.I hated her laughter it sounded so sweet. I hated her smile because it was so unique, enviousness now was apart of me jealousy committed a crime not me.

Jealousy committed a crime that destroy her, but jealousy stabbed me with many pains. And before I die I saw what took away my joy that once lived inside.

Jealousy, jealousy what a crime.

I Still Stand Tall

I was waitressing down at the diner
When a man in a wheelchair came in
He had to be in his late sixties
And I felt I should cater to him

He saw the pity hanging in my eyes
The compassion I felt in my heart
But I didn't get the response I thought
This man would surely impart

He said, "I know what you're thinking.
'Cause I used to feel the same way.
I'd lay in my bed, shout out orders
To feel some pride, someway.

But I've learned to deal with this problem
I've had my fair share of falls
And though you can't see it outside,
Inside I still stand tall.

Maybe these two legs of my own
Will never hold me up again
But I hold a pride no one will know,
And I can take it on the chin.

My legs may not work quite right
But my brain is sharp and quick
So until that part of me dies
I don't think I'm all that sick."

I thought to myself, "what a guy"
He keeps giving life his all
I'll never forget his words that day
"Inside I still stand tall."

*This is about Courage In making it Thgough tough problems without knowing if anything really matters. and Trying to Understand about What You Believe.

Heavenly Father Above.
Whats this thing called love?
Please explain to me, these things i cannot bare..

How can i feel this way,
Like i can't make it through the day.
If you're there why can't you seem to help?

They say you made us all
But Then Why have you made us fall
How could you do this to those you say you love?

So heavenly father above,
Show me this thing called love,
For i have never felt this emotion before..

Are you who they say?
Are you able, to change my fate?
Can you alter what i was 'destined' to be?

Take me away from here,
Help my thoughts to clear,
That is, only if you truly are what they say.

Please!
Show me...
the truth..
i can't stand,
not knowing what to believe..

Please!
Show me...
what is real..
i must know
if you are what i perceive... You To Be......

This decision, must me made,
will you help me through the day?
or will instead you turn the other cheek?

*just so you know this poem is written to a song. lol. so its got a kinda weird rhythm.. lol

Hope you like it. =]

Fate
by ŘÅÇĦ♥
- sad love-

I don't know how to explain
this feeling I have for you
Some would call it love
but I call it fate.
It started so well
and ended in tragedy
It's just another story of a girl
who fell a little to hard
for the wrong guy.
And got caught up
for something she thought was real
just like everyone else he let her down
and their love slowly faded away.
until he didn't know her anymore.

Imperfection
by ŘÅÇĦ♥
-life-
Young,Rich Girl
driving along in her gorgeous car
Dressed to impress
Guys are honking at her
And everyone that sees her thinks
she's perfect
When she's so broken inside
Her friends talk about her
She's too "fat"
She's not pretty enough
As she realizes her imperfections she starts to hate herself.

Now In place of her jewrey is wrist bands,
to cover all her scars and cuts
In place of her Prada shirt is a hottopic shirt,
that covers all her insecurity
In Place of her beautiful smile is a fake one,
that everyone sees through
She just choses to not notice.

FALL

My two worlds collide
it led into a big fight
me not knowing which side to decide
this war inside it's making me evil, dark,sad
it's annoying me, it's making me mad
I'm the only judge here
who to choose?
my heart it's ripping
it was valuable to someone
now it's cheap
i ask myself what have i done?!
why did i let this feeling come between us like walls?!?
now no one is to catch me when i fall
i would fall straight to the ground
no one hearing not a sound
i go straight to hell
as the heaven expelled me
told me what i did
hurt people's feelings
not caring
as i land in the house of Satan
my body got fried
even my two worlds inside
i can hear myself screaming
i couldn't hear my heart beating
myself dying
in front of Satan
laughing wickedly
and said "you little poor baby, why couldn't you see those sayings, those thoughts you were telling the people. hurting them so bad. especially your love one! HA HA HA"
inside me i yelled "NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" crying.........

Turn Off the Stars

Free into the world underneath
Into the world rarely seen
Into the world of true life
Search can not find in the light
Come when the moon can excite
Come when the moon and sun meet time

(Chorus)
Please turn off the stars in the sky
Turn off the sun it's too bright
Darkness is best covered in moonlight
Please stop the wind in the trees
Stop the churning of seas
Listen to the midnight's heartbeat
Turn off the stars, turn off the stars

Echo these words bounce off my tongue
Into the midnight sun
Don't you hear its call of response
Beauty that which intoxicates
Can't be explained during day
It just tricks and taunts

(Chorus)
Please turn off the stars in the sky
Turn down the sun it's too bright
Darkness is best covered in moonlight
Please stop the wind in the trees
Stop the churning of seas
Listen to the midnight's heartbeat
Turn off the stars, turn off the stars

Please, please
Turn off the stars
Turn off the light
Turn off the stars
And make sure your alright
Turn off the stars
Turn off the light
Turn off the stars
And make sure it's held tight

Turn off the stars
Turn off the light
Turn off the stars
And make sure your alright
Turn off the stars
Turn off the light
Turn off the stars
And make sure it's held tight

(Chorus)
Please turn off the stars in the sky
Turn down the sun it's too bright
Darkness is best covered in moonlight
Please stop the wind in the trees
Stop the churning of seas
Listen to the midnight's heartbeat
Turn off the stars, turn off the stars

Blackened Red Rose
by: Ciao

A Blackened Red Rose lies upon her white chest
While she silently slips into an eternal night’s rest
Her black-laced dress tied up a little too tight
But don’t worry about her; she’ll be all right.

She lies there so peacefully; you almost can’t help but stare
It’s like her lifeless body, isn’t really lying there
You go to reach for her hands, but their touch is so cold
You replace them back on her chest, over the rose she holds

Lying so peacefully, you could never help but to guess
Her final form would leave you possessed
You try to smile but your efforts are in vain
You try to hold back tears, but they’re causing you pain

A Blackened Red Rose lies peacefully on her chest
While she silently slips into an eternal night’s rest
You know that you’ll never see her again
So you walk away not knowing what might have been

"Awake among Ancient Green trees"
by ~Angel of Secrets~

I fall asleep under a big cosy blanket,
And I let myself soar.
I already know the path to my paradise,
cause I've already been there before.

As I walk the road, I can see myself,
My life, as pictures in frames.
I see people I met a long time ago,
but I can't remember their names.

The road is almost finished,
The path is taking an end.
I walk into my very best dream,
Where I don't have to fake or pretend.

I can just lie there, in the grass,
Let my mind just flow.
I can feel the cold grass touch me gently,
as I feel the wind blow.

Here, I have my paradise,
I can fly among the lovely breeze.
Here I can rest my very soul,
and awake among the Ancient Green trees.

Pillars of Snake Tongues

Snake tongues inscribed on words
flowing over thin paper glass rims
Drowning neighboring sly whispers
Star light, start bright, let it dim

Classic Bedtime stories rot to dust
Soft Blankets crumpled in little hands
Ticking clocks merge with crackling rust
As a long ago plague haunt the lands

Brother against brother as the Bible says
Trust falls, trust hates, trust none at all
What the old sins has been is now what it is
Small things evolve and holds us enthral

Rumors scratched upon every slamming door
Curtains are drawn in shame and dispute
Giant pillars with carved snakes stand before
What once was friendship now bathed as mute

A couple more and this contest will end :):)

i know its sad but its very different i do believe.

Never Be Free
by Lauren:x.x

She cries her eyes out
wanting, waiting everso patiently
for a prince to rescue her,
from this isolated,insanity.

but her pain is unknown.
never seen -she is
never heard- she is.
her cries are muffled,
by the facade of lies
her alter ego has weaved.

she sits alone weeping,
dreaming
of this prince she needs
Tall, pale, and
with many a scar on his face..
he will slay her demons.
the demons which are haunting her,
gnawing at her,
Killing her.

in her dreams she lives,
roams free of these chains of deciet.
she wanders the mountains of love,
happiness, lust, joy and friendship.
then she wakes-

still in this pitch balck room.
her self has dimmed the lights.,
her face cant be seen, too many scars,
not beautiful at all..

so her pain is unknown, her cries are ignored.
and she waits..
for this prince that will never come.
she wakes, from a nightmare..
in the wretched room..

she will never be free.

the other self has taken control
has taken revenge, for the pain she was inflicted upon.
so she lives, within this girl's dreams.

and This pain is known..
but only to the girl-
her prince that will never come-
because he lives within.

and she will never be free.

wow lotta spam i had to go through to get this...

ok here's mine..hope it fits
Ghosts Don't Cry
-Sad-

Walking around, aimless, lost in the crowd.
Trying to be heard, but the noises are so loud.
After a long day, coming home to fights,
Not getting a word in edgewise; lonely nights.

Welcome to my life, I'm only a ghost,
Not noticed by many, ignored by most.
Often want to break down, and want to die,
Or cry my eyes out, but ghosts don't cry.

Finally a little freedom, out with friends,
But ignored by you, the pain never ends.
Love shown one way, yet hate the other,
Then the time comes to see my mother.

I see her only a little, yet important I'm not,
Complaining and yelling, making cheeks hot.
Talking to her boyfriend for an hour it seems,
Actually spending time with HER is just a dream.

Welcome to my life, a ghost I'll remain,
Many ignore me, many don't know my name.
Often I want to break down, but when I try,
I recall that one thing, ghosts don't cry.

Discovering The Light
by мιѕѕ.нυggαвℓє ♥

Feeling her way slowly through the darkness
Discovering light amongst the ghostly black
Saying goodbye to all her sorrows and pains
Climbing out of the hole, getting back on track..

Goodness sparkles from her longed for destination
Transparent hands lift her from the clinging evil
Removing each thorn; finally smelling the petals
Throwing all her fears and obsessions into upheaval..

Removing the secrets that keep her so tightly bound
Relief slowly spreads as feelings are at last set free
Tears containing wasted time roll down tender cheeks
Repairing the cracks in her soul, getting rid of thee..

Stain
*Sad*

Stain like stained glass, hurt by love and burn by my past. I now know how it feel to lose your way, I know cause of your mistakes. Tears are running like waterfalls, trusting you Is the reason I took this tragic fall.

No words could express my pain, It sit here like a picture in a frame. Broken Into two, feeling lost and wrap up in you.
Your words rip through me like sharp blades, In my face the pain Is display.

I can’t bare to continue living with you, but Is willing to die without you. Trap and caught up by the thoughts of being alone, that why I continue to call your arms my home.

Being with you is like holding on to a rope, and knowing I will fall if I ever let go. The times we spent together is filled with stormy weather. I never wanted this, but somehow without I’m sick.

Dying to belong, and so afraid of being alone. I sit and sometimes ask where did I go wrong? Was I not kiss as a little girl? Or not taught I deserve care? Why do I accept the pain you afflict? I guess because I’m stain by love and truly lovesick.
