and thank you for finishing the last round you posted

Creature plz

Creature

even in the depths of my mind
i never knew
someone, anyone, could hold this loathing
nothing matches it
this hate
it's unbreakable

i didn't think i could hate
hate something so much
until i get cold from the ferocity
of this...this feeling
why?
why me?

it's so cold
i cannot breathe, it suffocates my mind
my heart, body, what is wrong?
it's me isn't it.
i'm wrong
just freezing myself

floating in this endless darkness
every light gets snuffed out
i cannot stand it
no longer
but i can't escape
these pools of darkness

surrounding me
eating away at me
until i no longer exist
this cold, cold hatred
turned towards myself
i cannot love what i will become

can anyone?
unloved is this creature
crawling across the floor
squish it, break it
until it can no longer cry
make this creature happy

for no one can love a monster
not even the world
erase it from this world
take pity,
forget what needs to be forgotten
her tears will fall no more.

"My Fork in the Road, Your Knife in my Back", thank you muchly. =)

In lieu of ex's and oh's may I please have your private war.......Thank you and sorry for any confusion.

Your Private War

Biting tongue in two
With bitter words unspoken
Hatred boiling deep
Your ties that bind lay broken

Voices in your head
Rule out your common sense
Desperate measures of a man
Is your lone defense

Holy water thinner
Than our blood was thick
Absurd to burn a candle
When there is no wick

Fighting off the urges
Succumbing to attack
Private war, your hell
Everything fades to black

My Fork in the Road, Your Knife in my Back
by SecludedSerendipity

I was driving down the loneliest road I'd ever driven,
As my word changed to Hell, from a delicate serene Heaven.
Realisation fell upon me, as I knew I had to make
A decision of a future, which showed of burning heartache.

That shining silver knife which you held up so high,
Sliced right through my back as my world fell from the sky.
You pleaded and you begged for forgiveness of your sins,
Now I'm torn into turmoil, don't now where I end nor begin.

A decision lays ahead of me, should you stay or should you go;
It breaks my heart even further when I say I do not know.
I'm broken and I'm scarred, little beauty inside remains,
And I can't help but feel that I'm the one to blame.

Ex's and Oh's

There's this sad love song that everyone knows -
The words, the melody; it's quite sad and slow.
The pain-filled chorus is like a long-held sigh -
Each word just trying to prolong the inevitable goodbye.

It's just like a black and white movie from years past -
Each of them trying so hard to make love last;
But life throws curves balls and sometimes, you're out,
You're stuck all alone with tears cast about.

So she signs her letters with Ex's and Oh's -
Trying so hard, yet everyone knows.
They know she's hurting but they just don't care,
She is forced to live her life on a prayer.

"Goodbye, My Love." is about all she could say -
It wasn't her fault that she had to walk away.
With tears down her cheeks, she takes a last glance -
Her one last shot at an almost romance.

You watch her, counting each step that she takes;
Wishing and willing her to see this mistake.
But in a few minutes, she's disappeared from sight,
As you crumble to the ground, too heartbroken to fight.

So she signs her letters with Ex's and Oh's -
Trying so hard, yet everyone knows.
They know she's hurting but they just don't care,
She is forced to live her life on a prayer

She's settled down now, in a place far away -
Her mind keeps traveling back to that day.
The day she was forced to leave her love behind -
Now she can't get the thought of him from her mind.

The letters she writes you are filled with such sorrow -
You are never sure if she will live for tomorrow.
She's fighting a war no one was meant to fight -
You know it is wrong, but to her, it is right.

Your baby left on that airplane, so many months ago,
It seems like time is ticking by so slow.
The letters are few and so far in between -
You're just wondering what her virgin eyes have seen.

The fighting she's seeing is nothing compared
To the nights all alone when she's cold and she's scared.
She could never tell you what she's really feeling;
So she prays to God that somehow, you are dealing.

So she signs her letters with Ex's and Oh's -
Trying so hard, yet everyone knows.
They know she's hurting but they just don't care,
She is forced to live her life on a prayer.

One day, hopefully soon, she'll be back in your arms -
Away from the fighting and away from all harm;
But for now, she's lost to the world no one really knows -
As she signs her last letter with Ex's and Oh's.

This is supposed to be over end of tonight... I may extend it one more day. PM`s are going out to those who do not have theirs in.
