4/6 FOB - Ends 1st Jan '08

Ok. Should be alot easier now! lol

This is the fourth (phew) 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.

Which Came First? Music Or The Misery

Who turned the radio on?
My heart breaking to a melody,
Nimble fingers,
Strumming tears.

Was there always a song,
Or is this where music came from?
Heart ripping,
Euphoric,
Love.

We all know,
We've all felt,
We've all heard,
Such prophetic compositions.

A song for every feeling,
But to be remembered,
For that you must evoke passion,
Brilliant memories.

Life is our rhythm of creation,
All things grow,
And experience molds them,
Music is an outlet.

Sweet release,
Disconnect,
Or reconnect,
A jack of all trades.

I don't know if I hurt more,
But those words gave me comfort,
To know someone felt my pain,
And understood.

Anguish was my mistress,
But music,
Oh sweet music,
She was my savior.

I know this hurts, it was meant to, please.

Thanks

Josie

Someone Old, No One New, Feeling Borrowed, Always Blue

My heart is empty,
Scarred by my past,
Forgotten loves,
Singeing my horizon.

A reminder of what was,
And what cannot be,
Alone in my mind,
Sorrow drips from my eyes.

Hopes and dreams,
Drenched in defeat,
I wander to loneliness,
My friend,
My confidant.

I held my head high once,
Before I knew the stinging loss,
A heart manipulated,
Blinded by emotion.

Take it all,
I have myself,
My aching, learning,
Burning,
Self.

No Matter What They Say; Dont Believe A Word

Laying idle, you're fading fast,
A refugee to this mist,
The world a witness to your crimes,
Your mind begins to twist.

The stars are falling down from heaven,
Your body holds no soul,
Your dying conscience knows no shame,
You have no self control.

You find it strange how all has changed,
Yet life somehow remains,
Haunted by the ghosts of past,
Bound by invisible chains.

We praise these Gods we can not see,
Pray out of desire,
Unaware how far we're slipping,
Alone amidst the fire.

We burn for freedom, we burn for death,
Dying for every cause,
Watch our neighbour with suspicious eyes,
And dance upon his flaws.

Love never wanted me but I took it anyway.

And, I set the clock back one hour,
awaiting the time we promised to meet.
I sat and sat- preceding your arrival -
but you were an hour late.

I don't know the feeling that's lurking within,
but it's grasping my life, colliding with sin.
Burdens are true, a small part of life;
but what's the use when I can't have you.

I've tried and I've tried way too many times,
burnt down the skyscrapers tickling my feet.
For, I've floated abruptly away, my darling.
Far from your arms, my dreams crashing down.

And, I promised myself a house on the hill,
with a white picked fence and curves that would kill.
A husband to cherish and children to hold;
though, love never wanted me but I took it anyway.

I Know This Hurts, it was Meant to.

"Can't buy me love",
Does that ring a bell?
The Beatles sang it,
So you should know it well.

Those words are the
Story of my young life.
For some reason you seem to think
You can pay away all my strife.

Your money means nothing
In my dismal world of pain.
Your money cannot buy
Sunshine through the pouring rain.

When will you
Turn around to see
Just what it is
That you're doing to me?

Will you ever understand
That my love cannot be bought?
Or is it a lesson that, as a child,
You were never taught?

I know it must be hard to be
A 'loving parent' all the time,
But why do you always pretend to be someone else's
And never mine?

I have never understood
Your definition of 'love' and 'affection'
I think I'd feel more at home
Getting a lethal injection.

You've never known
Anything about me.
I've been living a lie
And you refuse to see.

Each time I share
A piece of myself with you,
You just ignore everything -
I guess you don't know what else to do.

But when the day comes
That I am gone,
For you to finally understand,
I don't think it'll take long.

You'll finally see that your money
Can't buy you love,
But by then it'll be too late -
My spirit will be represented by a white dove.

Your secrets our and the best part is it isn't even a good one
Take our tears and put them on ice

xx

I know this hurts, it was meant to.

Arcane whispers exchanged in between suffocated breaths,
impeding twilight that sets in the iris of your tired wraths.
Broken words, splintered hearts writhed upon static memory,
blinded by the ardent tears that flow so easily.

I sleep in burning distress with the absence of a light,
no words could spell this unnamed feeling that burns so trite.
End this tragedy, this fallacy, we'll fade before the dawn.
Twist my swollen fears and smile, you've won.

Silently trapped in our inner frisson at sixes and sevens,
your hollow laughter tried desperately to break the fervent silence.
Your smile seems so far away when you are right here,
and I can taste the smothering scent of your cremated tears.

You elucidate the ample lies of your blinded secrecy,
but I can't understand the verity you gave and I'm sorry.
You can't escape this abyss you carved out of your despair,
and you can't force me to see what is never there.

Tonight is the beginning of everything we tried so hard to forget,
estranged from all we ever said and all we ever had.
I can't go back to feeling the same way about you.
Honey, I know this hurts, it was meant to.

Mailing letters to addresses in ghosttown

Incantations burn pages filled with bleakness
on the edge- where the enliven spectacles
merge with stunning words of blissful pain.
My heart stays trapped within eternal spell.

Barriers fall as we walk into unknown,
with sighs of pleasure entwined with sorrowful screams,
and tears glide down the stained face
glowing and reflecting inner disdain.

I let the emotions to lead my pencil through this
endlessly obscure, cursed letter.
Consolation comes, shape- shifting amongst clouds,
teasing memories to come and dance between the stars.

Colorful illusions... where have you gone?
(and why, why wouldn't you take me there?)
Why did all celestial hues play parts of grotesque blackness,
sealed within another fractured heartbeat?

I'm mailing those notes to ghosts over emerald ocean,
pleading for clemency, for pieces of lively miracles
that will arise from the graves of stifling phoenix's fire.

Trying To Forget Everything That Isn't You

Nothing I could say could mean anything more
Than the words I couldn't say as you walked out the door.
I choked on the syllables of the stupid words -
Wishing to God that maybe somehow you heard.
But I'll mix myself just another numbing drink;
Hoping it'll kill my sense enough to think.
But every sip just makes it that much harder -
And I don't know if I can go much farther.
I'm just trying to make myself remember more,
But it's causing me to wind up passing out on the floor.
The "escape from reality" kills me that much quicker,
Faster than anything could - even the liquor.
I'm trying to drown out all the old memories;
I'm only concentrating on the you and me -
But just look at the hypocrite I've slowly become,
The alcohol dulls my senses until I'm completely numb.
After all the fights and all the screams,
I'm the one who screw up her dreams.
After I told you now to, look who has the empty bottles,
And now I'm hooked on drinks like Vodka and Full Throttle.
I just couldn't imagine that you would ever leave,
It's something I'm still not ready to believe.
I watched you walk out the door, but I couldn't stop you -
Your image swirled around and there was nothing I could do.
Through a drunken stare, I saw you one last time;
I could never imagine what the following hours would leave behind.
While I finished yet another bottle, you got into your car,
You drove around for hours but you never got very far.
By the time you stopped, I was too far gone to even care -
Yet, when I found out, it was too much for me to bear.
They knocked on my door and they told me the news,
I knew then and there, there was a decision to choose.
I couldn't let the only thing to come between us kill me too,
But when you are addicted, there's nothing you can do.
So I had my last glass of Scottish Whiskey -
Hoping that no one would really miss me.
I carved your name onto my death wish,
As I blew your picture my last goodbye kiss.
As my last thoughts came and went on through,
I realized I was Trying To Forget Everything That Isn't You
