I think I need more titles lol. I'll post some more ASAP

Apologize please.

Apologize

This time you apologize,
And expect me to believe it.
Just what do you think I am?
Some sort of ignorant fool?

Accept it I do not.
Accept it I do not.

Words fall from your lips,
But words can't fill these holes.
Bullet wounds stain my emotions,
Just like your unbeating heart.

Believe it I do not.
Believe it I do not.

Plastered walls are a reminder,
Of the pain brought into this space.
Tension rises once more.
You know that we can't live like this.

Forgive I do not.
Love I do not.

Just Missed The Train.

Her hearts on the run,
pushing ahead the rest.
Burning off calories,
while beating the rest.
It knows the consequences,
what will come.
But, for some odd reason
it won't stop, it's not done.

It's fighting for it's right,
to continue beating.
And, searching for a life,
can't you hear it pleading?
It knows the consequences,
what will come.
But, for some odd reason
it won't stop, it's not done.

It just missed the train,
it stopped for a rest.
Burning off no calories
while losing to the rest.
Can't you see it bleeding,
deep inside, it's dying.
Can't you see it hurting,
deep inside, it's crying.

Slow and steady,
oh how true. . .
this heart just lost,
to an unfaithful you.
It just missed the train,
now left shattered and broken,
what a joke, what a joke;
a joke left unspoken.

Pls reserve me, "He Doesn't Even Know"

Title:He Doesn't Even Know
Style: Ottava Rima
Author: Kristi H.

I look into the eyes,
That empty into lakes,
Which seem to run dry,
Attempting to escape.
I see how he makes my,
Fragile, small, heart break.
I stare and watch him laugh,
As the seconds seem to pass.

He makes me want to cry,
As bitter jealousy hates;
I used to wonder why,
The world invented fate.
The minutes tick on by,
As a best friend wakes today.
But I stand near the grass,
As my world walks past.

It seems this moment's right,
To get to school today.
We must get to class on time,
Without a moment's waste.
The thoughts within my mind,
Are circling out of place.
I let this moment last,
As time with him goes fast.

-------
The Ottava Rima stanza in English consists of eight iambic lines, usually iambic pentameters. Each stanza consists of three rhymes following the rhyme scheme a-b-a-b-a-b-c-c.

14. Some Kind Of Miracle
{RESERVED} SlaveToTheMusic

Hey sorry I just noticed this, but it wasn't me wh reserved this title it was the person below me just to let you know =]

*edit*

Don't Play That Song

Compositions of a thousand heartfelt violins,
Played within an orchestra of forbidden melody
As flutes create a beat dancing within the soul,
Symphony's murder my eyes for tears I cannot control,
Listening to the lyrics, which replay my memory's.

Visions blurred from the sound of sweetest keys,
As lyrics bury my heart, in a graveyard with you,
Flutes mixed with the strings of an acoustic,
Within chorus my thoughts I can no longer subdue,
As colored rose petals fall onto the darkened floor.

Music betrays the heart strings with broken harmony,
As I whisper a long quietly with such sorrowing words,
Another autumn day drifts along with chords of love,
Though I do not feel them, whilst glancing at above,
As I think to myself, Please don't play that song

Mm.

I'll also take ;;

All Falls Down.
Addiction.

(:

Can I Have A Kiss

Can I have a kiss,
Before I cut your throat,
And spill your bitter blood,
For every lie you wrote.

And every word you spoke,
That spun your web of lies,
Is all that you will hear,
As I say my last goodbyes.

Your skin it feels so smooth,
As you tremble at my touch,
I thought you loved me baby?
Loved me oh so much.

Your honey turned to poison,
Nothing here is sweet,
As you lay there dying,
Crying in the street.

Your flesh is turning white,
The light is fading fast,
I told you you'd regret it,
This time would be your last.

So let me taste those lips,
One more time before you're gone,
Darling don't forget me,
When your burning and forgone.

Written In The Stars

Stellar light shimmers upon the glance of apex,
While charms hold no beauty except sweet name,
The sun shall melt upon the heat of such heart,
As two souls ignite dancing upon scentless flame,
Sunrise will be adored though dread by darkness,
For tangles of my heart strings will not be tame.

Galaxy's shine as the moon carves lushest passion,
Gold lights entwine to remember cupids loving pride,
Romance of lovers to be written within the stars,
As spirits of beauty gently form and collide,
Painting emotion to cherish under moonlit skies,
Whilst Amor and guardians of love secretly confide.

Can I have..

*ME*

Till when do we have time?
15th november?

All Falls Down.

My hopes arising higher than the sky,
I can feel your breath upon my skin -
It's been so long since I could even dream of
breathing your smell in.

How wonderful it feels to hold you closely,
remember your lovely touch that so wonderfully
fills my soul with beauty and calmness -
if only this weren't another fantasy.

As I let you go, I know it's impossible.
For you've changed, taken yourself away.
And all falls down right beside my hope -
I've found out the truth today.

No longer can I save myself from heartbreak,
it's already won over my heart, darling.
With a world abandoned, deepening in fear -
a world of love now spiraling.

15th November yes Kitten

Can I do Some Trust please? thanks. (revised; didn't copy all of the way)

Some Trust:

People, flawless people,
I wish I was one.
But there's no such thing,
That's why the world's undone.
Lies are spoken,
Mistakes are made,
Trust turns invisible,
That's why love will fade.

I need one more chance,
So that our love will dance.
Part was your fault,
You wouldn't open you heart's vault
For me.
All that's needed for this to work,
Is some trust.

I've done things right,
I've done things wrong,
That is life,
And that is love's song.
Accept my flaws,
I've accepted yours,
Don't forget me,
Or it will make the rain pour.

I need one more chance,
So that our love will dance.
Part was your fault,
You wouldn't open you heart's vault
For me.
All that's needed for this to work,
Is some trust.

I surrender.

Fought attraction for so long
Terrified of being ripped apart
Feelings growing every day
Yet trying to protect my heart

Snuck right under my guard
Barriers came crashing down
Mind yelling to take a step back
Heart screaming love's been found

Despite all of my best efforts
Kept pushing your way back in
Each and every day I fought
Growing emotions within

Seems I just couldn't win
'Cause now you hold the key
The key to my fragile heart
So please treat it gently

Finally I'm giving up fighting
These emotions I can't control
Now handing myself over
My heart, body and soul.

...I surrender.

* Beautiful disaster*

Caught in a moment of highlighted imperfection
where I can't draw better than I did before-
still, imagining your pale smile, teasingly darkened,
help me portray divine black eyes in blurred hues;

Hated is this melody written with phoenix's feathers
instead bloody notes; repetitions murder allurements.
Voice closes up fragile membranes around the body
taking the breath away, staining bright soul.

My thoughts flow through your beautiful disaster
still, I can't clearly picture your pedestal of ice;
Maybe I'll define undefined choices again,
scream with your voice and ornament secret meanings.

More than words... more than chaos in the mind
cloaked with liquid damnation, left for eternity.
Addiction distracts crystallized temptations...
...perception's twisted by vividness of your wings.

Completely out of my mind tonight I am,
leaving your heretic darkness to grow wildly in the heart;
More than words... more than tainted perfection;
my thoughts flow through your beautiful disaster.

Too soon to say goodbye

There's still so much time
It's too soon to say goodbye
Don't worry it won't be late
What's the hurry to make me cry

I was there for so long
Now "I'm leaving" is what you say
Oh my beautiful sunshine
I'm getting more hopeless day by day

No matter how hard I try
I can't get used to the thought
Though you hurt me so badly
I can't see the things life thaught

And now when you're leaving me
I feel much weaker than ever
I was wrong one more time
This wasn't gonna last forever

So give me a little more time
It's too soon to say goodbye
I'll promise to get over you
Or at least I will try.

Ok I know this one sucks but I didn't really have much time to work on it so that's the reason.. :)

20. Bleeding Love, please :)

This is my revised version of

Behind These Hazel Eyes

Once there was an innocence behind these hazel eyes,
Now replaced by lessons I too late realized.
When I started thinking with my heart, and not with my own head,
Disaster finally caught up to the place my ways had led.
Now I'm plagued with memories burned into my brain.
So deep the scars, though healed, can still sometimes cause me pain.
Some days I feel fine. I won't let the past drag me down.
Other times it takes all I've got to turn my thoughts around.
Though I thought I burned those bridges, I still have many friends
Willing to walk on planks I know I must have singed.
I feel it so unfair when I still stumble from my ways
Wishing I was perfect, and could make no mistakes.
But I tell myself it's a block, one day that I'll beat
And I can't get over it, if I don't get back on my feet.

By: *ME*

May I reserve "Bleeding Love"?

Dirty Little Secret

You held my head beneath water,
Let me gasp for a breath of air,
Told me it would all blow over,
And you`d get me out of there.

You looked into my eyes and lied,
As you wiped away my falling tears,
Held me close, as I died in your arms;
And you chased away my fears.

Stone by stone, you tore down,
The wall I built around my heart,
And line by line, you pushed me,
So that you could break me apart.

With a smile, you held my hand,
Leading me down this path with you,
But you abandoned me here,
Leaving me with the stories you drew.

You left me, mouth taped shut,
In the memory of your past,
I`m just your dirty little secret,
And forever is fading fast.

[If this is confusing at all, it is about falling for a guy who keeps you a secret]

Xx Because Of You xX

Because of you...
A world that was once black and white
Has been splashed with every colour
Under the sun
A rainbow of different shades
This isn't the work of rose tinted glasses
This is something real...

Because of you...
I wake up each and every morning
With a huge smile on my face
Because I know i've recieved...
The greatest gift in the world
A gift that was free yet i wouldn't exchange it
For all the gold in the world

Because of you...
I feel like the world is my oyster
I've left my shell
And found my pearl
I feel I can do anything I set my mind to...
Because you're pushing me
To be the best I can be...
You believe in me

Because of you...
I don't fall apart at every little thing
An argument doesn't mean
The end of the world
We still love each other
It makes us stronger

Because of you...
I can look in the mirror
And smile.
For the first time in my life
I love myself for who I am
All because you love me

Because of you...
The make-up, the hair products
And the fancy clothes can take a backseat
I can wake up in the morning
With tangled hair and a bare face
And you still kiss me good morning
And call me beautiful

Because of you...
There's no longer a need to put on an act
I can let the real me shine through
Safe in the knowledge that...
Thats why you love me

Because of you...
I am no longer afraid of the future
I can look forward with a smile on my face
Because no matter what
You're there... holding my hand

Because of you...
I feel more confident in myself
In my potential
I feel beautiful
Fulfilled
Loved

Because of you...
I finally know what true love actually is...
Something thats imperfect... that you see perfectly
Something that only comes along
Once in a lifetime
Something that you grab hold of with both hands
That you never let go of
It stays with you forever

Because of you...
I found true love
I found my imperfect person...
Who is perfect for me
I found you
I love you

Xx Sober xX

You come home again in the early morning
Reeking of another woman's perfume
Burst into the bedroom with no warning
Just how many beers did you consume?

I said don't come to my place tonight
Just please call me when you're sober
Cos when you're drunk I can't stand the sight
And I just pray for it all to be over

You get drunk and start to do stupid stuff
Start your flirting with countless girls
Did you ever think that I might have enough
And your world will slowly unfurl?

Cos it's true, I can't take it anymore
I've been out and I've found someone new
Someone who doesn't throw me to the floor
And is honest, faithful and true

So after cheating and blaming the booze
You have only yourself to blame
You saw me with him and your ego got bruised
It must be exhausting to lose your own game
