Okay guys...i just realized all three of you are some of my favourite authors...now usually i judge all my contests myself...but i think it would be hard to stay unbiased this time. so, once all the poems are in...i'm going to ask a friend to help me judge if you're all okay with that?

Sorry about that, I never seen this before
today. I will try to get mine in ASAP.
Thanks for letting me go on, :D

I have been away for personal reasons and I still kinda am. I will try my hardest to get this done. if not, I apologize for it.

That's okay 'Manda!
Hope you're okay <3

I was hoping to have these done by tonight, but looks like I won`t. I`m really sorry. But, I will write them tomorrow and can have them in tomorrow. I just don`t know when tomorrow the deadline is, that`s all lol.

Here`s my dark one, love one will be in a bit later..

Move closer and whisper sweet tragedies to me,
Twist your wretched fingers around my neck,
Dig the scalpel into my skin; let the blood drip free,
And watch me fade to such a miserable wreck.

I`ll beg you to let me go, but hold on tight,
And watch me cry myself to sleep,
When it`s all over, you will feel just right,
So kiss my eyes and watch me weep.

Dig your yellow fingernails into my flesh,
And lick your lips as you trace your teeth,
Along my skin -- I taste so young, so damn fresh,
It`s no wonder what I must taste like underneath.

Punch me to the ground, hold me still,
And stab away at my beating heart,
Kill me and hide the evidence, you know the drill,
And you had me targeted since the start.

WHY GUD TIMES HAS TO COME TO AN END......
Tears flow down my cheeks again
another night I cry myself to sleep
remembering the love that I once had
and wanting the one man that I can't have.
Why did it have to end like this?

I try so hard to hold the tears inside
but every time I close my eyes
images and memories of him flash through my mind
and everywhere I look
there's something that reminds me of him.

Every sad love song I hear
makes me think of him and want to cry.
Every time I see his arm around her
the pain is doubled twice
and it almost bring me to my knees.

I'm tired of always having to be strong
so I curl myself up in a tiny ball
and as I hug myself I rock slowly back and forth,
the sobs slip out one by one
each one more violent and deep than the last.

I feel to much pain now
to hold it all in any longer
and finally I let it all run freely
down my face and through my body,
I hurt to much to really care if people see.

I never knew I could feel such deep love
and I didn't know I could hurt this deep,
people tell me time heals the wounds
but it's been three long months
and I still reach for him
and expect to hear his voice
when I pick up the phone.

He was my first true love
and the first I'd ever shared those things with
but for all that wonder and joy
he was also the one that taught my heart to bleed
and my soul to not trust another pretty word

MY SILENT TEARS....
Sorry for the tears,
that fell down my shattered cheek.
Sorry for the words that slurred,
for i just could not speak.

Sorry for the bloody blade,
that lies hidden in my room.
Sorry for the pain that i can't hide,
revealing my pitiful gloom.

Sorry for the smile faked,
as I attempt to hide my pain.
Sorry that I'm hurt by you,
and that theres nothing for you to gain.

But most of all I'm sorry,
you've learned nothing from this at all.
Just sit back and keep on watching,
these silent tears that fall.

^^ and the reason for posting those were... anyway. i'm going to extend this for a few days for manda and jenna. maybe til the 25th or round about then. xx

I'm back and I wrote a love one while I was away. I'll work on a dark one soon :]

Thanks

Makes Me Wonder Why I Won't Go Home Without You[Glosa Verse]

Lifehouse - First Time

We're both looking for something we've been afraid to find
It's easier to be broken; it's easier to hide
For once in my life, I'm scared to death
I'm taking a chance, letting you inside.
`````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

Love is just a word, until someone shows they care -
Someone who will listen and someone who'll be there.
You promised that you'd love me, and I believed it true -
Makes Me Wonder Why I Won't Go Home Without You.
Stuck to your side, but I really don't mind,
I trust in you, I've come to find.
It was hard at first, but now I've learned:
It's not always a fact that givers get burned.
I just can't get the thought of you from my mind.
"...We're both looking for something we've been afraid to find."

My heart tells me "Go For it" but my head says "Wait!"
I'm too far-gone now to begin to tempt Fate
I'm with you forever in whatever you do,
Makes Me Wonder Why I Won't Go Home Without You.
I was so afraid to love again, to let someone inside;
I was so afraid to relive all the tears that I had cried.
But you showed me you were different, in you, I could love;
That no matter what happened, you'd hold me higher above.
Terrified as I was, it was time that I tried.
"..It's easier to be broken; it's easier to hide."

I used to be the broken one, torn at the seams,
I used to believe in fairytales and dreams;
But I knew life was different, reality was true.
Makes Me Wonder Why I Won't Go Home Without You.
It was time to put my dreams to rest -
But to be honest, I was scared to death!
I was worried in what I would come to find,
But not I can't get the thought of you from my mind.
Looking at you, I'm here holding my breath
"...For once in my life, I'm scared to death"

So now, here we are, standing hand-in-hand -
I know no one but you would really understand.
You tell me you love me; I know it's still true.
Makes Me Wonder Why I Won't Go Home Without You.
No longer will I worry about how hard I tried,
No longer will my pillow catch my tears I cried.
I'm diving head first, without a care -
I'm letting myself go without a moment to spare.
This is different from each time I've tried.
"...I'm taking a chance, letting you inside."
