    Hiding Behind.
    =================

    Have you ever noticed me
    hiding behind the scenes?
    Did I ever tell you,
    that you're the answer to my dreams?

    When will I get the courage
    to walk over to you and smile?
    Will I ever actually think
    that I am finally worth your while?

    Will you ever notice me?
    Or must I make the first move?
    What would your friends think of me?
    Would they welcome me or disapprove?

    Why should I hide my feelings for you?
    Can't I just announce how I really feel?
    When will I get the courage
    to let my emotions been revealed?

    Why I am asking myself these questions?
    Am I starting to lose my mind?
    Will I never have the courage to ask
    Or will I keep finding myself hiding behind?

    Questionable Questions.

    Will you tell me of your life
    and every single movement?
    Could you speak of things unnoticed,
    like the very breathe you take?

    Should not you remember the days,
    of which you longed for love?
    Can't you recall what she looked like.
    Brown hair or blonde?
    Blue eyes or green?

    Since when did you forget
    that I'm the woman of your dreams?
    Can't you tell I smell like her?
    Did the details contain memories?

    Love, will you tell me of your heart
    and all the things you've failed at?
    Would you speak to me in fondness,
    or push away my words? My actions?
    What about my questions?

    Oh, can't you find out for me,
    if the love we share is true?
    Or do I seem a bit controlling?
    Am I far too much for you?

    Mother's Anonymous

    Am I not the one you know,
    The voice that heralds your worth,
    Established in your shadow,
    Did I not conceive you at birth?

    And was I not your purest lover,
    When you felt alone and scared,
    And I held close you and brother,
    Did I not seem well prepared?

    Tell me unfaithful child,
    Where did I lose you?
    Did I hold you too close and mild?
    Or was it my worth sanctioned in your smile?

    When last did I look upon you?
    When first did my love annoy you?
    Son will you continue your scold,
    Will this be forty years alone in the cold?

    Shall I revel in the memory of you my boy?
    Shall I toast with your ghostly manner?
    Was it Jim or Evan you thought brought me joy?
    Or was it Jack, or when I got them all together?

    Cheers my son, and happy New years from your drunken mother,
    Oh, and when you get the chance, will you please say hello to your absent brother?

    Thank's you guys

    Quietly Versed next time could you please just edit your post instead of reposting it. I ended up reading your poem three times.

    Other than that everybody here has done a swell job, it will be hard to pick one winner.

    Poems new or old don't matter. Repitition is a slight annoyance, but I'll live

    This contest is going to be sooooo much fun.

    Are You Still There?
    (Commencing Poem Naow)

    Is this a challenge -
    Or just a game?
    Are we strangers
    Or rather, the same?

    Did I tell you who I once was?
    May I tell you, what you may be?
    Is it so bad,
    That you are, in fact, me?
    Am I talking to a mirror here?
    Or a brick wall?
    Are you listening--

    Will you listen, please?

    Are you a mirror?
    Or have I fallen from the edge?
    Is my sanity intact?
    Or not...?
    Do I forget?

    Did I tell you my name?
    Or was it that I forgot my own?
    If I did could you remind me?
    Have you ever known?

    Are you me,
    Or am I you,
    Is this false,
    Or is this true,
    Was I asking questions that made sense once?
    Was I ever half a human not a convulted whole?
    Or a hole?
    Is this mirror standing here;

    Will the answers
    ever.
    become..
    clear...
    ?

    ((I hope this'll do; I just wrote it in about six or seven minutes because I really liked your prompt. Hope it's OK!))

    Read My Mind
    by Ashleigh Skye

    Do you really love me?
    do you seriously care?
    does your heart beat for me,
    or is it afraid to share?

    Is your tongue as tied as mine,
    or is it flapping free?
    do your eyes cry out at night,
    cause your arms aren't holding me?

    Does your mind flare up with rage,
    every time someone looks my way?
    and every time my eyes find you,
    do you forget what you're going to say?

    Does the world fade when I look your way?
    or do these things only happen to me?
    are we doomed to never know?
    is this our destiny?

    If I

    If I told you I love you
    Would you believe me?
    If an offer emanated
    Would you decieve me?
    If I held you tight to me
    Would you push me away?
    If I told you I needed you
    Would you choose to stay?
    If I cried and yelled out for you
    Would you answer my shouts?
    If I was lost and confused
    Would you banish my doubts?
    If I kissed your ripe lips
    Would you take me home?
    Or if I did kiss your lips
    Would you leave me all alone?

    I really like this idea for a contest, something I haven't seen before. I like the restrictions, restrictions breed creativity. Here is my poem, it's called my end.

    So is this where we are now?
    Is this where we want to be?
    Are we charming our way out of
    Something we fail to see?

    Is it a poem made of questions?
    Can it be something more than that?
    Could you look and me and smile?
    No, can I have my money back?

    Is it just me, or do you taste metal?
    Does the heat of it burn your skin?
    Do you sit back with a bottle of something
    Pretend you're not the weakest sin?

    Are we looking in the mirror now?
    Two of us, or one at a time?
    Do you sit back and scream away
    At another decorated mime?

    Can you hear the sounds of echos
    In that empty heart of yours?
    Can you hear the sound of poison
    Dripping through your pores?

    Do you think that we both know?
    Have you thought of an answer yet?
    I was wondering, could you tell me?
    How much was I worth the bet?

    Reader, Reader, can you hear me?
    Would you die for a friend?
    Do you know my answer to the final question?
    Did you know that here's my end?

  • xToBeWithYoux

    This is "Can You...?" I hope it's suitable :)

    Can you see the pain inside,
    In the tears behind my eyes,
    Waiting 'til the next heartbreak
    To escape their worthless lives?

    Can you feel the lump in my throat,
    So when I speak I begin to choke,
    On my words that want to forget,
    My proud voice then a feeble croak?

    Can you hear the beat of my heart,
    Its irregular rhythm oh so true,
    Of each time you walked into my life,
    Stopping each time I think of you?

    Can you read the thoughts of my mind,
    The cries of agony and screams of pain,
    With dreams and nightmares morphing as one,
    Always the same with a coffin in the rain?

    Can you plan your way out,
    Before the night gets too late,
    Because if you have got this far,
    Did you think of your fate?
