Bad Day.
by BriBri

Eyes desiccated from crying abounding, unsaltened tears.
Telling me you’re going to walk away from me.
Even after all these boundless affectionate years.
Boisterousness shouting, things being pulverized.

One argument after the other, will they ever end?
I can’t take all of this affliction anymore, baby
All I do lately is sit and contemplate as my tears descend
Don’t pack your stuff, baby.. Don’t go

I know I have made my own mistakes.
And innumerable I haven’t learned from.
But I’ll unquestionably do whatever it takes.
I’ll change my ways, as long as you stay.

We always work through these things.
Cos that’s how much we adore each other.
Stronger affection, is what it brings
Baby, it’s just another bad day.

-- Lol.. Idk, i don't really like it. But yeah. it's all i could think of.. soyeah. Enjoy. x

Yayyyyyy, the first poem on my first contest :] I'm so excited hehe... However I am not going to comment on any of the poems submitted until the contest is finished :P

Can i have "I have nothing"

lmao that sounded weird

im not sure if i'll be able to do it tho i have alot of homework right now...and exams are like 2 weeks away so...ya i might get one in at the end if im free...but im going to need a break so i might get one in in a few days

When Im Gone
Condescending;Heart;

Hope This Works For You;; If not let me know.

Crowded around a casket
of a life so far from gone
they morn with open minds
as a life has been withdrawn

Her beauty descended before her time,
a choice made by only she
After choosing to take her life
From what she'd never be

She had struggled with her sanity
for years before this day
she had tried to leave but quietly
from a life of disarray

She wondered if her death
could be the answer to her pain
and the questions she had asked
but never heard again

She wondered if they'd miss her
in they way she would miss them
hoping they could forgive her
for the lives she did condemn

But She never did give up
Just grew weary of trying
After holding in so much hurt
And never truly crying

She and I have grown together
because we are truly one
As Ive been far from over done

I've watched them drop their caskets
And i cant help but feel forgone
hoping they will miss me
they day when Im gone

I'll take
'Almost Had It All'
please.
Thank you. :]

Xx The Long Goodbye xX

I've known for a while that the end is near
Everybody has tried to make that very clear
It seems nowadays all I seem to do is cry
Torturing myself during this long goodbye

I don't want to see you in this pain anymore
It's killing me slowly, much worse than before
Because now I know there's nothing I can do
I hope I have the strength to get me through

You're the women who brought me up from a child
When I was low, it was your number I dialled
But now you're being taken away from me
Leaving me alone to sift through the debris

Life is so unfair, taking you away so soon
I need you more than the stars and the moon
But it feels like I'm swimming up against the tide
I love you so much Nan, I need you by my side

But I don't want to see you live like this
So with one last 'I love you' and a goodbye kiss
I'll miss you so much but I just want you to know
I love you Nanna... and it's ok to let go ©

*Gem*

(I know it doesn't seem to have a happy ending but just knowing she's at peace and in no pain is enough for me. I hope it's okay to enter cos this poem means a lot)

Here mine...i had fun...but if its not good please know i did it at like 1:30 in the morning :(

I have nothing(in my shallow mind)

In my shallow mind,
I have everything I need,
In my shallow mind,
I have what it takes to succeed,

In my shallow mind,
I wish to just let go,
In my shallow mind,
I want to sink too low,

But In my shallow mind,
When I am not high,
I finally come to realize,
Im only living a lie,

In my shallow mind,
I can end this life,
In my shallow mind,
I only care about my knife,

In my shallow mind,
Its taking its toll,
In my shallow mind,
I have all control,

But In my shallow mind,
Of all things, I wish I knew,
I have nothing,
If I am without you
-----------------------------------------------------------
When i finished this...i read it and was like...that last verse doesnt seem happy..cuz im like...i have nothing if i am without you...in a poem about like...suicide or whatever..sounds like i could be talking about a knife that he wants to be with...

but its not soo...ya...

can i reserve " i don't want to talk about it" please!! thanx!!

*Shawte*

reserved for You Shawte :] thanks

Good job everybody ;]

can i have without you please?
thanks:)

welp im done already lol its not very good but i tried.

Without You

Alone and cold, out in the rain,
You left me here to die in this pain.
You broke up with me, 3 times in a row,
Because I just couldn’t let me true feelings show.

You broke my heart, left me to cry,
Cried for 3 days after you said goodbye.
Almost killed myself, because I was without you,
I loved you even though we were through.

A month of so later, you called me again,
But I figured you just needed to talk to a friend.
So I listened to your worries, lent a hand,
Then destiny happened, you re-became my man.

At first I thought this would just be take four,
And everything would be the same as before.
But you sweet talked me, and spent time with me,
Then you said we ARE meant to be.

~*Who Cares?*~
(He Does)
if this isnt right lemme know

*I Don't Want To Talk About It*

Don't act like you care.
Don't ask about my bruises, because
I don't want to talk about it.

I know you want to know.
You need to trust me though,
You don't want to hear about it.

I have no one to talk to.
No one understands, but
You want to talk about it.

I need someone to be there.
I think I might need you, so now
I want to talk about it.

We've gotten so much closer.
We know when something happens,
We always want to talk about it.

We've been together for years.
Go ahead, ask me about Us,
I want to tell you everything about it.

*Shawte*
i kno this isn't my best...
but i like it, so grrrr ;-P

Come on peeps... there's 8 spots left... Do me proud... take the titles and write 'til your hearts content :]... there's still 2 weeks left... I need a boost right now, and the winners will get a big boost from me too

Please reserve: It Must Have Been Love But...

for me :) I'd appreciate it! Thank you!

~Rain

Btw the poem below is really long :)

It Must Have Been Love But...

Love at second sight
Can make you feel quite blind
Running 'way you find
The world you left behind

It must have been love, but
It felt like more...
If that's truly possible
Then the truth is undeniable

The way you would whisper
With honesty in your answers
The madness of being childish
No longer drowning in our sadness

It must have been love, but
It felt like more
If that's truly possible
Then the truth is undeniable

I remember those sweet days
When you'd look my way
Just to smile;
I'm glad I had a chance

To be there for you,
'Cause you were there for me
I hope our bond stays strong
For eternity

The way we'd link arms
Sing like crazy fools
Isn't it weird how the days pass by
As they come and go in front of you?

It must have been love, but
It felt like more...
If that's truly possible
Then the truth is undeniable

I felt it in my heart
A rose growing
The thorns softened at your touch
You touched me with your love

Did you feel it in yours?
A butterfly, flying
Emerging from its darkening
Coccoon; breaking free from its ebbings

Did you see us flying,
Up into the sky
Free from our cages
Singing with all our might?

It must have been love, but
It felt like more...
If that's truly possible
Then the truth is undeniable

Today I picked up a seashell
And handed it to you
It may be a dream, but still
Some dreams ~do~ come true

One day, I want to
Walk with you in the sand
Leave behind footsteps
And just hold your hand

I don't care if we're just friends
Our lives won't cease to blend
But one day, I want to hold you
In my arms; way past the end

It must have been love, but
It felt like more...
If that's truly possible
Then the truth is undeniable

I want to show you off
To my family overseas
Show them that you are
The only one for me

Well done everybody so far :]

7 titles left and still 2 weeks to go... Come on peeps :]

I'm entering for the "how do I live"
Although it doesn't seem like a happy ending it is they are together again.....

I'm lost in the darkness all around
But without you I don't want to be found
A bitter cold fills the air
It's almost more than my lungs can bear
And is it worth it to make it through
I don't think it is, it's without you

I don't know what I'm doing anymore
I can't find what I'm living for
Tell me, how can I go on
It's hardest now that you're all gone

The ice reflects a picture
An image that reminds me of you
Your lips make shapes but I can't hear
Over the white silence ringing in my ears
You catch me in your arms
And press your frozen lips to mine
You're here now and everything's okay
I'm happy- together we'll slip away

Thanks Sarah :]

6 titles left

ill try to make one tonight or tommorrow, sorry.

apologies not necassary.... still got until the 31st January :]

donna, can I have missing you? Idk if I can get it done, but I will try!!

♣ Ciao

Of course Ciao :] Thanks Hun

Almost had it all.

Twinkle twinkle, oh my sweet little star.
I watched you fall, oh so far.
You lost your sparkle, but gained a soul.
A heart to complete you, to make you whole.
You yet stand tall, above the rest.
The constant pouding within your chest.
One beat, two beat, three beat, four
Promise now you'll never ask for more.

The thoughts that wilt within your heart.
The tears that fall, and tear you apart.
Happiness is what I wanted to bring,
Yet, facades soon became the fling.
Your dreams are drifting way too far,
along with the memory of who you are.
You've forgotten the reason I gave you this life.
And, taken the road that's given you strife.

From star to angel, in just a day
My guiding light, point the way
It seems forever is not enough
The roads get dark and sometime tough.
The hills tend to get too steep,
and the valleys way too deep.
The light that lifts you after the fall,
Showing you, you almost had it all.

As you stand in the presence.
You feel your hearts delieverence.
Your fears lift away,
As you're here to stay.
You've left it all behind,
to somewhere you'll never again find.
You now have it all,
As your glory stands a million feet tall.

I had help with this poem..
By a friend named Kenneth.
Soooo, yeah. Lol. :|

hiya donna! Sorry I've been so busy with 5 major tests in school and I've been sick. But I wrote mine! =]

Missing You

I'm missing the way you used to be
I'm missing the way you treated me
Now the alcohol makes you feel whole
Eating away at the corners of your soul
Haunting the days and exposing the nights
Showing your fears and loving your frights
Can't you see what it's doing to you?
Making you think we're lies and it's true
No amount can kill you pain now
You just let the drops slowly rain down
Each drop, slowly killing us all
Inebriated, you laugh as we fall
How could you rip us apart at the seams
We were once so close, we were a team
Now we're alone, all for one and one for none
I want you to come back and say, "I'm alright hun."
But now you're gone, it took you away
Killing your mind so you have nothing to say
One day you'll see what was the right thing to do
But until then, I'll just stop Missing You

*`*`*`*`*
Happy Ending: I gave up on trying to make her see that what she was doing was wrong and I am moving on with my life. I understand that her life is what she wants to make of it, and if she doesn't want my help, I'm moving on to a healthier relationship. =]
btw, this isn't real...

♥Ciao

I did my best, Donna. Things have been happening, as you know, and I'm just not writing to my best ability again... yet. Forgive me. I hope you like it.

All That You Have Is Your Soul

All that you have is your soul,
Covered in white and covered in gold.
Sip in all the ugly deceit,
Press in gently after defeat.
Cry to your soul, it will hear,
Of all your sorrows and intrigate fears.
Hold on close to what you now possess,
And to one soul one may confess.
All that you have is your soul,
Covered in white and covered in gold.
