Hey I Don't know if we actually have to use the words or anything but i haven't if it's wrong i completely understand, just let me know

Sign My Fate

I loved you,
With everything I possessed-
And you stole it from me,
Now I have nothing left...
Just a mask and a broken heart
You didn't have punish me,
for loving you so much!
I don't see what was so wrong
About you and me being 'US'.
You know I watched you turn away
And it felt like,
someone was tearing at my bleeding flesh...
Like long bony hands of hate
Ripping my heart out of my chest!
I heard you tell you loved her,
Knowing I would hear.
The pain of hearing your hate,
Carves away my skin-
With a blunt acidic knife...
It carves away my dreams.
And I'm watching you live your life that way,
I'm watching the laugh and smile.
Then I'm looking at how worthless I've become-
Ho I hate the world so much.
Realizing we're over for good
Is more then my heart can take.
Here's my death certificate............
Sign it with my fate!

reserve me please!!!

Remember?

I remember how
Me and you
Used to be
Best friends

Back in preschool
Near the playground
Girl and boy
Just friends

I remember how you'd smile at me
And we'd play silly games
The sky so blue and never-ending
I wish it was still the same

Back when we were innocent
When we shared tools in the sand box
When we were so happy
Our minds as clear as the blue sky

What happened to those days
When girls and boys played games
Not like the ones we see these days
...do you remember?

reserv terra please! =]

♥ Ciao

Can I use the old poem I wrote for this exact contest..? I hope it's ok...
`````````````````````````````````````````

Memories.

Memories parade the dancing sky,
Open fields lay silent to hear their song,
Humming softly to the pinking clouds,
Wishing orage setting suns could be prolonged.

The boy's finger nail deep within chipping paint,
He glances back at the broken hinged door,
Praying everything to have happiness and peace,
Unlike his playhouse which now has holes in the floor.

Sighing to himself, such a gentle sweet sigh,
Looking around at the quietly chirping bird,
Wishing he could sing louder, louder,
So finally his soft, sweet voice could be heard.

But, another time he'd tell his sad, sad story,
As the trees sigh with him, with serene birds,
When everything was so peaceful, so blessed,
He will sing his slow ballad until his voice is heard.

can I reserve

Sandbox
By: Twisted Heart

The tears are an oasis inside my heart of stone
Littered with the sands of time as I trudge alone

Hampered by the burden of a dream that lost its glow
Floundering persistence of a life I used to know.

Within the depths of bottled love, a heart cries out in pain
As it sits in desert lands, waiting for the rain.

To quench my soul with a mist, of a lucid storm
Something to remind me of feeling loves sweet warmth.

Would I find a comfort of a distant fantasy
Within the winds that blow the sands for eternity.

Or am I now and forever doomed, to the desert's hand
That blanket this old broken soul with its endless sand.

ShadowedPheonix- I do prefer the words being used but no you do not need the direct words in the poem- you have him and her… girl or boy… and a few others that will work for this. You do have enough in this poem.

xTheEcstasyOfSuicidex- sense this poem was from my other contest that was a flop I will allow you to use this poem.

Thank you everyone who already has their poem in.

Reserves have until the end of January.

reserve pls!

Thank you, dear. I appreciate it.. I wouldn't have time to write another...Thank you. =]

xTheEcstasyOfSuicidex

Star Dust and Love

Love is simple and easy to do
When it comes to me loving you
Days can go by, and tears can fall
But I'll still love you through it all
Beauty will fade as time goes on
Yet love given years remains strong
Flowers will bloom and seasons pass
But you and I will forever last
Withering petals and fallen leaves
Can witness our love eternally
Like the white glitter dust on the stars
I'll be your light no matter how far
That dust that shines all the way here
Will be a reminder our love's held dear
You are my one, together we shall be
Yes you have me for an eternity

Someone To Love Me

I'm sick of all my problems
Being thrown back in my face
All the pain and all the hurt
I just want it to be erased

I want to be the normal one
Without a care in the world
The one who you’d like to date
The one you call “your girl”

I’m sick of all the rumors
All the lousy heartaches
I wish they’d all just disappear
There’s not much more I can take

If my tears were a river
It’d run right through my soul
Cutting me in half
So that I could never be whole

My eyes are getting tired
Of constantly being wet
How could all of this happen
How could you forget

I want to be the girl
Who’s not looked at as a fool
Who walks around with her head up high
And has all the friends in school

I’m sick of my mask
That I’m forced to hide behind
I know that some don’t care
But there are more of those who mind

I try to do what’s right and
It bothers me when I care
About everyone else but me
They make me feel so bare

If I could have one wish
I wish that it could be
To have the dream I dreamt last night
That I had Someone To Love Me

♥ Ciao =]

These Porcelain Tears
Bryan

The sun sets on her Porcelain Face,
tears rolls down her cheeks in such disgrace.
For a love that was forgotten, no one really cares,
the pain she shows, is too much for her to bare.

Writing her final note, no one around to see,
what shes been through, how hard life can be.
So she sits on her bed, with a pen and some paper,
waiting on her Prince Charming to come and save her.

She writes down her feelings, each and every day,
hoping her true love will come and take her pain away.
Wait as she might, her Prince Charming never shows,
writing down her feelings, but the torture never goes.

So she swallows the pills, lays the bottle by the bed,
and finishes writing her note, this is what it said.
"If my Prince Charming finds this, don't have any fear,
I will die here now with these Porcelain Tears."

Reserve me.

-Jenna.

thanx bryan :)

Streets of Shame.

Pitter-patter,
Torture rings out,
Armies gather in the streets,
In the streets of red.
Red blood from severed hearts,
A life line torn amongst men,
With armor slung over their shoulders,
And weapons guarding their plastic masks.
Brainwashed societies gather,
In coffee shops and bakeries,
In beauty parlors and super markets,
Subways and airports;
"Did you hear?"
Of course they heard.
Everyone knows the news,
Of another fallen man,
Alone in the deceitful streets,
Painted red like the bleeding roses thorn,
Placed on top a decaying casket.
And his family mourns in black,
With porcelain tears shattering,
Shattering on the faceless concrete,
Of one more fallen soldier.
But his men stand their guard,
In honor of those fallen.
Pitter-patter,
The rain drips down,
Onto pale faces come Judgment Day,
In the streets of shame.

so how many people can actually enter this contest...?
and i will try to have a poem up for you soon..try to get one before this weekend

Crimson kiss
by Silhouette, of something unimaginable

Watching as she sleeps
he slowly opens the window,
in he slips, she shifts under the cover.
with the wind blowing at his back
he wakes her from the slumber
she lifts her eyes to his
she starts to scream, but stops
now seeing clearer she knows it is him
"i thought you were dead
you left me, i cried myself to sleep
weeks and weeks have passed
and you are here now, how?"
"yes i did die, however i have a new life,
with a crimson passion,
would you ever want to join me?"
"as a child of the night?
why of course i would
but how, and my family?"
"forget them, my love,
come be with me,
i can give you the crimson kiss"
"my family will miss me,"
"but you can see them my dear,
anytime don't you love me?"
"yes, but can you make it quick
and painless for me?"
"yes my love it will be painless."
and with a tear in her eye
she said good bye to her family
he touched her neck with the crimson kiss

I LOVE YOU

i love you
she said
as he walks away with nothing to say to her
making her feel like she is the one to blame
when really it was him
he made up all the lies
he was the one who made all those mistake that he can never change
he threw everything away
on some girl he don't even no
she was willing to forgiving him
she was willing to start again
but he told no more and let go of her hand
we need to see other people
he said
tears round down her face
she turned and looked away
i forgave you for all the mistakes
why do we have to end this way
he turned and looked at her
he don't say a word at first
they just looked at each other with watering eyes
then he said
the girl i cheated on you with is pregnant
they both just looked at each other
then he started to cry
i love you he said
but this time
she was the one who walked away with nothing to say

Jump Into the Blue

I caught a glimpse of an angel
But slowly she fade out
But now I think about her eyes

Teary eyes
Fill the night skies
Fill your insides
And now I want
Those eyes to haunt
Her words to taunt

Don't forget me when I'm gone
I'm here but carry on
And don't forget to rewrite this song

(Chorus)
Jump into the blue
Jump into you
Jump into the blue
Jump right through
Jump into the blue

Passing by
The skies to high
No wings to fly
Quick way out
No need to shout
Just turn around

Just turn to face me
Your mission is complete
My angels wings are full of concrete

(Chorus)
Jump into the blue
Jump into you
Jump into the blue
Jump right through
Jump into the blue

Into her eyes
Into her eyes
Into her eyes
Into her eyes

(Chorus)
Jump into the blue
Jump into you
Jump into the blue
Jump right through
Jump into the blue

I caught a glimpse of an angel
But slowly she fade out
But now I think about her eyes

I beleive this meets the qualifications. Thank you.

Basilisk

She whispers symphonies of sound
Forked tongue, golden crowned
Venom in her astringent kiss
Slithering silence, exhaling hiss

Eyes of flame and fiery abyss
A hellish glint, stares never miss
Dark beauty in a final breath
Slit-pupil eyes foretelling death

Scales of silver and emerald green
An armored tomb of glossy sheen
Monstrous grip, hunger driven
Sting and torture, victim given

She softly sings a song of doom
Tears swelling from each iris bloom
Beast of burden, she is condemned
Solitude seeming her best of friend

For vengeance satisfies but little
When shields of valor so very brittle
In coiled sleep, she seeks serenity
Simply to wake, existence infinity
