    Ok. Now now this should be better to explain now after the first one already running..

    This is the second of six contests. All using titles taken from the three Fall Out Boy albums.
    I will be judging each contest separately, so there will be winners and HM's who will receive comments and then there will be an overall top three when all the contests are done who will win the biggest prizes.

    Now you don't have to enter all six contests to win the top prize, (although you will have a bigger chance) You just have to blow me away with your talent. =)

    ----------------------------------------------------------

    Each contest will have twenty titles. The first two will be from the first album, the second two from the second album and the last two from the third album. So i will be using a lot of titles to choose from =)

    ----------------------------------------------------------

    Not a lot of rules..

    1) Try not to swear, it's allowed but no over the top cursing.
    2) Try to keep profanity to a minimum. I don't mind it but don't write a porno, lol
    3) If you write a specific format, explain it when you're finished
    4) Can be old or new, i don't mind but impress me =)
    5) Max of three poems per person and a max of three poets per titles (towards the end, this may be increased so keep an eye out if a title you like is full)
    6) Have fun.

    I Wish I was as Invisible as You Make Me Feel {ACROSTIC}

    If ever I had felt alone, today

    Was the day. You made me feel like
    I wasn't even there; like you never
    Saw me standing there
    Holding out my hand to be saved.

    I felt so invisible.

    Weren't you the one who
    Asked me to be yours,
    Saying you want more than just a fling?

    Aren't you the on who
    Said to me that

    I am everything you want in a woman? And
    Now, you pretend that what we had has
    Vanished into thin air.
    I no longer exist to you do I? Your
    Savage,
    Insensitive,
    Brutalness has
    Left me wishing that I had never
    Even been born.

    After all the things you've
    Said and done, I believed that

    Your words would
    One day come true.
    Unfortunately that was never to be.

    My heart has been violently
    Abused by someone who I thought would
    Keep it safe,
    Even when the skies turned black.

    My soul was destroyed by you,
    Even though I somehow knew it would be. I

    Feel as if I am invisible. The
    End has come way too soon. I believed this would be an
    Endless love. But it was a stupid thing to hope for. You have
    Left me wishing I was as invisible as you make me feel.

    Take this to your grave and i'll take it to mine.

    Just a few last words to calm my soul.
    I'm aware the truth shall set me free.
    So, here it goes; one last time, darling:

    Words aren't enough to tell you, what you mean to me.
    The pain that I felt the day you left me,
    and the joy that overcame me the day we began.

    It's as if it all happens for a reason, all but this - that is.
    The feelings I feel as of now - they're just agonizing pain.
    tearing me apart, ruining all that I barely have left.

    Like a scavenger searching for something more than I have.
    because, that's what I am but a wreck living on the streets,
    Beliving there's someone, something - somehow it's out there.

    I can feel it from my toes to my finger tips, and I'm just so sorry
    that the someone, something - somehow isn't you.
    I've prayed each night for it all to be a facade, a truthful lie.
    filled with bliss and love, the joy that overcame me that day -

    And, I wish to feel it again, somehow, someday I know I will.
    But I pray to god it's with you, the love of my life.
    I can't, I never will love someone the way that I have loved you.

    But, it seems as if I'm lost, broken this very day; left with nothing
    Yet, I still promise you my life, my soul -until the very end.
    So, darling let's leave it at that, nothing more to be said.
    Just, take this to your grave, and I'll take it to mine.

    Reinventing the wheel to run myself over

    The seconds ticking backwards inside the head
    outlined with yellow shades of withered moments
    slowly kill tattered sweetness of dreams,
    awaking the mockingbirds to wave starless requiems.
    Imagination's running between sunflowers and insects.

    Depraved games are coming back to haunt me,
    entwining with diseases and foreseen catastrophes;
    tired eyes long to be exiled of twisted perception
    while the heart echoes sorrow within every beat.
    My footsteps lead to bloodstained gallows.

    The reinventions of acridness became overwhelming
    with every breath colored like fallacies of deceptions.
    Burden laid on the soul cannot be burned down again
    (the flames stifle under the floods of tears).
    I'm begging for one more hour of serene ignorance.

    Curse On Your Lips (Hope They Taste of Me Forever)

    Forever used to be,
    Now a distant thought,
    There was no holding on,
    No matter how I fought.

    Each day your eyes grew weaker,
    I knew you didn't care,
    I blamed myself for everything,
    My mind in disrepair.

    But now I'm thinking clearly,
    Seeing all you hide,
    Drinking in your madness,
    I hex those lips that lied.

    Always shall they yearn,
    And taste my subtle breath,
    Never to forget,
    Your final thought in death.

    If you get to heaven,
    By the gates you'll wait,
    In hopes I will forgive you,
    And forevers not too late.

    I wish I was as invisible as you make me feel

    Ponder the rhythms of my running feet
    through the fogs painted with frequencies
    of delicate distances; Forgive my ignorance

    but I can't find the words for this state of mind...
    ...traces of insecurities corrupt numbed tongue
    forcing me to drown in the sea of mute smiles.

    Tribulations overcome fatal fantasies molding them
    into cold substance of this pastel morning-
    our eyes meet over woods of facial expressions;

    Endless questions burn blocked mind, compress innerness
    with complex labyrinth of absurdities; breathing slows down
    as you walk through my thoughts, turning the head away.

    Between Your Smiles & Regrets

    Serenity has fallen over me,
    I am neither here nor there,
    His nor hers,
    I am nothing.

    Energy floating on the mist,
    The world cascades away,
    Flowing over the edge of the universe,
    Beyond my sight.

    No sadness or fear as I watch it go,
    No happiness,
    No regret,
    Just peace...

    Alone,
    A world of silence,
    The construction of wisdom,
    Moments of insight.

    Destruction would be letting go,
    Letting go of that freedom,
    Relinquishing the solace,
    Dependent on fallacies.

    World or no world,
    You are never alone,
    Each being possessing,
    A world within themselves.

    Too often unexplored,
    Taken for granted,
    Feared,
    There should be no fear in truth.

    When I Go I Will Forget Everything About You

    A clean break was what I was hoping for;
    I couldn't hold onto these feelings anymore.
    Moving would be hard, but I knew it was right,
    I could keep losing this useless fight.

    So I pack my treasures carefully away,
    The memories flood back to each special day:
    Christmas, Valentine's, and each day in between -
    Each sharing the secrets no one has seen.

    I smile with the laughs as I pack the things -
    I had forgotten how much happiness you bring.
    Each "I love you" holds onto something we had -
    But then it was time to relive the bad.

    You broke my heart when you said we were done,
    We were once two, now I'm just one.
    You left me for her, how I almost forgot!
    You said you'd always love me but I think not.

    But before I left, I did something I'll never regret;
    I gave you something, just so you'd never forget.
    I kissed you again, for the very last time -
    It felt so good that for one second, you were mine.

    With resolve in my eyes and a smile on my face,
    I was able to let go of this place.
    I laughed as I knew exactly what to do:
    When I Go I Will Forget Everything About You

    Take this to your grave and I'll take it to mine.

    Plethora of lies estranged from the insipid stare of your eyes,
    taunting my tender sentiments and our porcelain minds.
    The arrant violence between us left caustic aspersions,
    which fervently masticate the abode of our deceptions.

    Castigate these ample tears invoking ardent sorrows,
    which stalk my footsteps and linger endlessly in shadows.
    Replacing flagrant longing with scar-stained eulogy,
    we are lost in the lovelorn of our arcane purgatory.

    The breath of your face sets me into lucid euphoria,
    diverting my secrecy upon a curse to remember.
    Tonight we reside in ephemeral Elysium,
    before the dawn of a dream ends our elusive requiem.

    The silence exchanged and affections too stubborn to be said,
    you are the iris of my heart and I will never let you fade.
    Embrace this ghastly feint of evading emotions,
    and let the abundant scars of frail regret be a distraction.

    Renegade the disguise that mask our prided ascendancy,
    revealing wistful tears enshrined by a heart of elegy.
    Depart form this illusive moment, out memories intertwined.
    Hush my dear, take this to your grave and I'll take it to mine.

  • mier

    I want to hate you half as much as I hate myself.

    Your cannibal gaze penetrates into my muted eyes,
    savoring the epitome of deceit in mock disguise.
    There is no more quiet feint or enlightened sympathy,
    I'd rather you taint my reflection with your hypocrisy.

    Let this felony of pretense burn and slide away,
    to unveil a vulnerable heart that silently fades astray.
    Embrace this misery that drapes over your smile,
    shut your eyes and allow the curtains to close for a while.

    The frisson of my emptiness replaced by abhorrence,
    slowly consumed by ascending abode of our ignorance.
    This morose lovelorn turns fervently into hostile enmity,
    after relishing your arrant act of verbal treachery.

    Your artifice reflects my face of shrouded desolation,
    mirrored by the perfidy that taunted our aversion.
    I can't find a single reason to consign forgiveness,
    when you have been so brutally thoughtless.

    With your imprudent affections, I let them impale.
    I furiously chided my odium for being so frail.
    After you drained my mere sanity until there's nothing left,
    I want to hate you half as much as I hate myself.

    I want to hate you half as much as I hate myself

    I was in love with a dream, lost the mind
    played with cliches that wildly pranced...
    promises were laid in porcelain bowls filled
    with bewitchments and lonesome madness.

    ...the story unfolded within your echoing laughter,
    tortured pupils with broken light of fairytales
    as my self-esteem melted in front of catastrophic beauty...

    I was captured within hateful visions of loneliness,
    trapped between walls of grasping silence...
    Disappointment recited lyrics of brutal defeat-
    "I want to hate you half as much as I hate myself"

    TITLE: Calm Before the Storm (Villanelle)
    BY: SarahDale

    Our souls intertwine as we taste the crisp of ocean dew
    Across the vast shoreline of heartfelt emotions
    Carefree and calm before the storm, like butterflies we flew

    Along the white sands of time, our love has eventually grew
    Strong winds gliding on our face, we remain sturdy and firm
    Our souls intertwine as we taste the crisp of ocean dew

    Blood red sun descends, severe warmth it blew
    Beneath the whirlpool of danger, we proceed with ignorance
    Carefree and calm before the storm, like butterflies we flew

    Waves crushing and wrecking sailing boats, only few
    Breeze getting colder, igniting our hearts loving passion
    Our souls intertwine as we taste the crisp of ocean dew

    I foresee no harm within your presence, one thing I knew
    Wrapped with your delicate arms, I feel secured and safe
    Carefree and calm before the storm, like butterflies we flew

    In the midst of looming death, along the air our names we drew
    Lacing each others hand with a love so vivid and forever true
    Our souls intertwine as we taste the crisp of ocean dew
    Carefree and calm before the storm, like butterflies we flew

    Take This to Your Grave and I'll Take it to Mine (Office Romance)

    When we started this,
    You said we had to keep it low.
    You said we had to ensure
    That not one single person knows.

    I've kept to your request,
    Although it has been difficult
    But I swear to you,
    Not a word, have my lips spilt.

    But why do we
    Have to run around and hide?
    I know I am just your "mistress" -
    Your little 'thing' on the side,

    But I don't care
    If the others at work know.
    I have fallen in love with you
    And it's something I want to show.

    An office romance -
    I guess it was never a good idea.
    Having the one you've fallen for
    Being so distant, but oh so near.

    You may be a director,
    But I get no financial gain from this!
    All I want is to taste
    The flavour of your lips.

    I want to feel your arms
    Wrapped tightly around me.
    I want to hold you now,
    For everyone to see.

    But I have stuck to my promise,
    Like you've asked me to.
    If you swear to take this to your grave,
    I'll take it to mine too.

    Thank Your Lucky Stars That Everything I Wish For Will Never Come True

    After everything we went through, all the pain you caused
    You're fortunate I haven't made you pay dearly in blood
    Every time I close my eyes, picture your disgusting smile
    And I'm so overcome with rage I can barely think straight

    Picturing your body lying completely still in front of me
    Your eyes wide, unseeing; body as cold as you are now
    Imagining satisfaction I'd feel to erase your existence
    Visualizing hands around your neck, there'd be no higher pleasure

    For all the suffering you caused, made me feel I was going insane
    Yet all the time you were constantly professing your love for me
    Every word that you uttered was just another spiteful lie
    Taking delight in knowing I was falling hook line and sinker

    But I'm telling you now darling, one day I'll have revenge
    And you'll finally pay for everything that you did to me
    Just be grateful that the one thing I wish for the most
    Is the one thing that will fortunately never come true

    Tell Me You're Sorry With A Straight Face

    Seems every single day you're apologizing
    Yet I'm still dubious about your words
    For you can't even look me in the eyes
    And enjoy it immensely when I hurt

    Seems every time I'm yelling at you
    You're laughing right in my face
    No longer do you claim to love me
    In your life and heart I have no place

    Yet you're still uttering those words
    Like they'll magically fix everything
    Never caring about the pain I feel
    Or all of the tears that you bring

    Can't you show any compassion
    Instead of only anger and distaste
    Prove that once you did care for me
    Apologize to me with a straight face

    Loaded Words and Loaded Friends are Loaded Guns to Our Heads [Triquatrain]

    At the count of three we`ll hold our breath, fight this down to the death;
    Let the gunpowder rise and the tears dry so that we can see:
    Loaded words and loaded friends, they`re loaded guns to our heads;
    And I let your excuses take down the very best of me.

    Through tired eyes it`s hard to see, the people we used to be;
    So innocent and carefree, we hadn`t met the world yet,
    But people come and people go, it`s a fact that we all know;
    Unwilling to risk your unscathed back, you put me out like a cigarette.

    High as hell I look to a picture carefully framed, a memory left unnamed;
    But the smoke will clear and my head will pound,
    Actions come with consequences I know, so I`ll be the first to go;
    Because you couldn`t accept the real person that you found.

    The roads we`ve walked on, they`re tainted with the blood we`ve drawn;
    We took it all in vain, throwing fuel on this fire,
    But I`m not ashamed of who I`ve become, you win some and you lose some;
    And I`d rather lose a friend than win a liar.

    I Still Know The Way To Make Your Makeup Run

    {And as mascara stains your cheeks...I smile.}

    Didn't you realize that eventually one day, sweetheart
    Someone would tire of your idiotic stories and games?
    That maybe one day, someone would do something
    And make you appreciate that "paybacks a b.itch?"

    If only you'd realized, you wouldn't be in this mess
    Look at that; you're drowning, didn't you learn to swim?
    The boot's on the other foot, you've become the toy
    And oh how it amuses me to make you so ashamed

    Look, I'm taking so much pleasure in your pain
    Enjoying the fact you have no idea I'm causing it all
    Whispering false words of comfort when you weep
    Inside I'm reveling in the fact you're falling apart

    Shouldn't play games with someone who can play better
    You never stopped to think about that did you, honey?
    Oh isn't it a shame you've fallen into your own deceit
    Can you see the surface yet, do you know which way is up?

    I'm guessing that the answer is no, you have no idea
    It's a dangerous seductive game in the world of betrayal
    But I guess you just never thought that far ahead
    Oh sweetheart, don't you wish you'd learned to swim now?
