When I'm Gone Please

Xx When I'm Gone xX

When I'm gone will you miss the way
I stroked your hair at night?
Will you miss the way I held your hand
And gripped your fingers tight

When I'm gone will you miss all
The little things we share?
The inside jokes and comfy nights
Will it be too much to bear?

When I'm gone will you miss how
I used to kiss your lips
The way I'd pull you close to me
With my hands upon your hips?

When I'm gone will you miss "us"
And the relationship we had?
All the memories we shared
Will you miss them like mad?

When I'm gone will you miss me
And the love we had together?
Cos you know I'll miss you just as much
And I'd wait for you forever

Cutains Close (Acrostic)

C ourage, it takes courage to stand on stage
U nbelievable are the jitters you get from
R unning around backstage
T rying to get ready for your scene
A lready your turn
I nstantly you're stressed
N o one can see you shaking
S till your nerves are shot

C urtains close
L aughter erupts from inside your stomach
O nly this is laughter caused by nerves not humour
S tanding centre stage, taking a bow, the crowd
erupts in
E ndless applause

Ok im going to go for lose yourself please, thanks xx

Lose yourself

Enrage and
Disengage. Then
count the days till I
meet the legal drinking age.

But I stopped doing that long ago,
Now my own name I don't even know.
And the liquid I found,
Replaced the dreaded sound,
And the fluid cure,
Gives me a reason to drink more.

The ringing chink,
Replaces the need to think
And the stench around my tongue
Has been there far too long.
The droplets gliding are reminiscent,
The faint memory, I'm afraid, isn't.

The past is all I seek to escape,
Bend me and break me,
Twist me into a new shape.

I'm hidden and changed
I'm beyond recognition.
My history's estranged
I've distorted cognition.

So I try to remember oneself,
And realise that I've lost myself.
I search for what is hidden,
But my identity's forbidden.

hope this is ok,xx

"Like Toy Soliders," please. =]

xTheEcstasyOfSuicidex

Can I reserve, When I'm Gone? Thanks.

I'll also have "curtains close". =) thanks

Alright.
The poems have been great so far.
:]

Plz reserve me, "Guilty Conscience"

thnx (I took out some of the stanzas b/c it's sort of long)

__++__
Guilty Conscience

This time, I won't screw up my soft heart,
I'll make it impossible, until every nail and bolt,
Sinks into the very image of love, an art,
I've depicted, with love to fill the mold.

To say hello alone makes me feel brave,
I see you stare at me, as if I am a crazy moron,
We don't know each other as I wave,
And you are a perfectly sane, normal person.

I know this is awkward, vicious, troublesome,
But if I told you the truth, would you listen?
I know that I can be quite bothersome,
But I'm doing it for a reason.

I had a friend, whom I loved with all my heart,
Held it in for four whole years of torture,
A single smile tore me half apart,
My feelings were in failure.

I let him have another girl, let him hold her,
Though he said he didn't love her then,
I thought I would know better,
I hooked them up, for I'm his friend.

I gave up on him, it took forever,
Inside my bubble, I discovered it true,
To my heart, so fragile, I never,
Thought I'd feel for you.

You changed me; I never felt,
So focused on one person, and now,
That my past feelings have been dealt,
I'm wondering how.

You feel for someone else, like them so much,
Like you've never liked someone before,
The thing is, it's you that makes me blush,
Though you like her, it's you that I adore.

I don't know right now, my feelings are astray,
I wish I could say the truth,
But when you're near, all I can ever say,
Is "Hello", and "How are you?"

The kiss [Acrostic]
By Sarah Elliott

Trembling lips
Heavenly taste
Emerging together

Kiss me now
In the rain
Soft and
Sweetly now my dear

Acrostic Poetry is where the first letter of each line spells a word, usually using the same words as in the title.

I'm gonna switch and take Like Toy Soldiers

^^^
I all ready reserved that. =/ Sorry...

xTheEcstasyOfSuicidex

Rule number 7 Sheena dear! :]

Recently updated.
Loving everyone's poems so far.
This is going to be tough to judge.
Peace, yo :]

When I'm Gone

When I'm gone
You know you'll have missed me
Your heart is dancing in the sun
And your mind is weary

Although we've stayed close
It's time to leave
Your fire has burned me
You've lied, decieved

When I'm gone
You'll appreciate me
For once in your life
You'll be able to go free

I'm leaving now
Don't cry over recreated
Dreams and wishes
That never were appreciated

When you're gone
I know I won't miss you
You'll leave like that
Forgetting your issues

When I'm gone you'll love me
Because now I'm just a pawn
You're pushing me over the edge
You'll love me when I'm gone

~~~~~~~~~~
Hope this is okay!

Oh! I was reading #3 which says only one poem per person and I took that as titles, not you can't do more than one..
Um.. [Looks stupid.]
I didn't say anything. =]

Business
by HiddenxSoul

The office workers sit quietly around their desks
Lips pursed tightly, but their minds in disarray
Everybody knows of the secret life that lives here
Yet in their heads is where this mystery will stay

Him: deep brooding facial features drown him
And her: beautiful, yet unknowingly tainted
They each run different lives, appear happy
Yet these stories are unreal, just a picture painted

Their partners, holding them closest to the heart
Have no idea of their unfaithful treason
At home things appear perfect: such lies
They don't know the truth; never been given a reason

His wife, and her husband, holding up the marriage
Completely oblivious to the actions behind their backs
Yet the other one feels differently
The only thing they see are the ever growing cracks

Cracks in their marriage, cracks in the love
Blind their eyes from the feelings they once endured
They never knew that "Business" would be such fun
And without their partners knowing, they're left assured

They use each other for their own pleasures
And use their partners when they are there
Yet love has expired, it no longer exists
When one partner refuses to care

Remember.
This contest ends in May 3.
Keep the poems going :]

Can i reserve Without Me please? Thankyou. =D

Guilty consience please =]

Guilty Conscience

a conscience of the weak at heart
it tells you that you should act smart
but a conscience of the one with strength
tells you not to hold that length

its a do or die situation
because you just don't get that ventalation
to pull the trigger a guilty man
or to walk away when you know you can

to ruin someone else's life
with a gun, syringe or knife
has consequences on you aswel
it can turn your life into a hell

wether its to take advantage
or to take a hostage
its a decision wich you should know clearly
you want to look back and say 'i did this; nearly'

its that feeling in your stomache
when it actually starts to ache
thats when you know its wrong
that you should walk away strong.

Mockingbird

The sun shone bright through her window,
To the bird outside, she whispered a sweet hello,
Stretching, she'd get dressed to a beloved song,
Of a brown-backed Mockingbird all morning long.

Sunrise and sunset, that little bird would sit,
Singing its little heart out, it would not quit,
And the summer had passed, when September came,
The bird would mock a voice, calling a name.

Sitting and waiting, for the girl to come back home,
To whisper good morning, to a bird left all alone,
And the moving trucks came, carried her boxes away,
To a storage unit in town, labeled: "Jessica Gray."

And that Mockingbird bird, with tears in his brown eyes,
Still sat silently, waiting, from sunset to sunrise,
But in his old age, his final days were now gone -
And he had no audience there, for his final song.

I may change a few things by Thursday, will let you know if I do lol.

~*~"Curtains Close"~*~

The curtains open on the stage
I play my part so well
I play the audience's emotions
Under my enchanting spell

The music is playing loudly
I say my lines just right
I dance and sing with poise
Under the shining lights

The other characters and I
Interact with a joyful smile
If life was like this musical
It would be so worthwhile

The actors bow, the curtains close
And now I'm on my own
For this musical was just an act
And I'm still all alone.

Like Toy Soldiers {Quadruple Triquatrain}

Take lessons from winter, and take out that splinter,
Hold your head high and with might.
Bring a bite that scares, and a laugh that tears,
You are the Soldiers of this fight.

Tell the moon to grab on tight, with a hint -- be polite,
Share your dares, but don't tattle.
Tell your heart to stop crying, and your mind to stop lying;
This is the beginning of a battle.

Take lessons from winter, you're nothing but a splinter,
An annoying little h-ll.
Dig long and hard, but don't let down your petty guard,
Or you won't do too well.

Laugh while you kill, beckoning all your will,
You're much stronger than you think.
Take hold of your heart, though nasty and tart,
Will do you well in this battle over in a wink.

Ugh... I can't write anything for Like Toy Soldiers... I'm gonna have to take Without Me plz... Sorry for my indecisive-ness

Would like to reserve "Without Me", please.

Poem is short coming.

Thanks.

Without Me
By: Twisted Heart

In darkness you'll sit, maybe ask why
The place seems so empty
Tears well in your eyes

But do you remember, the day went away
My heart was a victim
By the games that you played.

It seems hopeless to ponder, you haven't a clue
The pain you inflicted
Was the most you could do.

Now you sit all alone, as belief settles in
Remembering the sound
of your words once again.

And shadows are cast, on the emptiness there
You hold to your tears
shaking your head in despair.

Was it just a reflection, of all that you knew
When you tore at my soul
As my heart broke in two.

You'll have time to wonder, maybe you'll see
That the loss you are feeling
Is life without me.

Without Me
By: XxJustYourAverageTeenageGirlxX

You know I had to
I had no choice
I will always love you
But you can live your life without me

You sat on her lap
You led her to our bed
You had it planned on your map
So you can live your life without me

You know I would never
Why did you do it?
Thinking you were clever
Now you can live your life without me

I sit and stare out the window
Almost in tears
But i am not going to cry over this blow
So you can live your life without me

Do not come running back
You will not be welcome
My world is not turning black
But you can live your life without me

My final words were clear
You cheated on me
If you are really that dear
You can live your life without me

You know I had to
I had no choice
I will always love you
But you can live your life without me

---------------NOT TRUE STORY-----------------------

This contest would end at 4:00 tommorow.
So get your poems turned in.
Good luck everyone :]

I'm having trubl writing for this... I'm really sorry for all the inconvienience ((sp?))
