Damont i want to try i put this one in.

title life alone.

Waking up to this life alone
a sad story so many times told
without a lover without a care
but you wish you had a love there
taking a hot shower but cold inside
waiting for your baby to enter but no one comes by
getting dress was the good part
she always took it off later
now its just a burden to yourself
missing your baby who always played the host
now you turn and kiss the air goodbye
forgetting she not there and apart of you dies
you continue on the whole day just going for the ride
get home hoping to change the tides
you listen to your messages no one has left
missing the voice that your warm heart felt
getting ready for bed is next in line
go to your room no woman to find
under your covers you lie at night
and wait til the sun shed light
only to relive this dreadful life all over again
till something or someone brings change

Sorry, I decided to go for this one. I like it better. ^.^

"Another Fallen Cry"

This juliet was bleeding,
Her soul's bright fire dim.
In a life of sorrows,
It was either sink or swim.

On the shore she saw him,
A romeo, prince of the night.
Against all odds she reached out,
And turned from garnish light.

Then he pulled her from the tide,
Saved the dying maid.
She afraid to love him,
And yet by her side he stayed.

With blind faith she followed,
Into his shadow she fell.
Seduced by black and velvet,
Drunk of passion's spell.

A day spent long in bliss,
A moment meant so much.
And no more was this juliet,
Starved from love's sweet touch.

Then the darkness overcame,
In silence he left her there.
Never saw her tears fall,
Or heard her heartstrings tear.

Left alone in pain,
Once again she did bleed.
Shackled by other's power,
Longing to be freed.

Once again, yet time was short,
In twisted fate they met.
In shaded seconds spent together,
Yet no where did they get.

Again ripped apart by time,
And distance seals the fate.
Now all this juilet feels,
Is pain, despair, and hate.

She cries without a tear shed,
She lives without a soul.
She curses the one she loves now,
For everything he stole.

'I love you' she did long to hear,
But these were words he never said,
And now this juliet lays weeping,
And wishes she were dead.

Happy Valentine's Day Dear.
How Long it's been since we met.
On this day sixty-two years past,
Yet a day i will never forget.

Reminiscing on the distant past,
Brings crystal tears to my eyes.
Remembering that paper heart,
Seems to always make me cry.

You were such a beauty, perfection it's true.
Hair smooth and silky, the color of fire
Porcelain skin, and deep sapphire eyes
You became the object of my desire.

Average i was, never given even a glance.
Not a Valentine had i received in a long while
But you came over, with a heart in your hand.
and left on my face a permanent smile.

With that paper heart, i was given a chance
To prove to the world what i could be
a man, a lover, a good husband and father
To be with you was my true, and only destiny.

Years ticked by, but our love stayed strong
Through every obstacle that got in our way
You were the perfect wife, the perfect mom
You were my support through every day.

So now the sparkling snow falls,
Around your silent, perfect grave
I'll see you soon, but till then
Have a Happy Valentine's Day

A Broken Child, A Broken Homeby Bryan

He sits here alone under his broken bed,
feeling the bruise on the back of his head.
His mom and dad are outside, yelling at each other,
he wished he had a new dad and a new mother.
His wish comes true as he sits there and hides,
his dad killed his mom, then he commits suicide.
So the boy is sent away, to a new mom and dad,
a new happy family, now he wont be so sad.
But his happiness is short, for now he finds,
that his new parents are bad, they're not so kind.
They beat on him just as his parents did before,
he hides again, begging for them to do it no more.
They yell at him all day, call him different names,
making him feel unloved, making him feel ashamed.
He tells other people, but they don't seem to care,
nobody tries to help him, there is nobody there.
He runs away from home, hoping to get away,
but the police find him walking near the end of the day.
They take him back home, to his hateful family
because nobody knows, there is nobody to see.
All that he has been through, all of the pain.
he is too scared, he doesn't know how to explain
so now he wishes he had a new mom and dad,
to take away the pain, so he wont be so sad.
His wish comes true, they write his name on a stone,
now he will stay with Jesus forever, now he is not alone.

I read a story in a newspaper and it made me cry, the boy goes from one abusive family to another until they finally go too far. So I want you to pray for every child that has to go through such abuse that maybe they will get a family that truly loves them.

Fallen Angel

Why do you spill those tears as you die,
My darling,
Sweet angel,
There's no need to cry.

I know that you love me,
Wish I were there,
So great is the burden,
Such heavy despair.

Your last dying breath,
Your very last thought,
Untouched by the lips,
Of the love that you sought.

The guilt that I hold,
Tears me apart,
It should have been me,
Instead of my heart.

I want to go back,
To relive that day,
To see my lost angel,
That God took away.

To look in those eyes,
Full of comfort and cheer,
To touch one last time,
All I held dear.

I don't think I'll make it,
The pains much to bear,
Without you beside me,
Life's going nowhere.

You're there in my dreams,
You're there when I wake,
But still I can't touch you,
How much can I take?

Pick me up fallen angel,
What do I do,
Left behind and I'm drowning,
Dying for you.

I'm sorry, dear, that I was so cruel
Now that you're missing, I am the fool
I'm terrified that you endured pain
Just so I could be a little vain

Teasing, destructing, even though you couldn't understand me
I made it so hard for you to accept me as family
When we got you, I promised, I would love you forever
Your smelly breath, claws, and collar of leather

As your sickness set in and your legs gave out
Only Mother could cry, only she could shout
We didn't understand, we thought you'd be here for a while
What we didn't understand, was that we were in denial

It killed you in a week, this terrible disease
No surgery could be done, the vet wasn't pleased
We cried for hours, it just didn't make sense
Your disease was brought upon you at our expence

As you are now gone, please do me a favor?
Sample a bone of every flavor
Stay in your little box, carved from a tree
And Precious Savanah, lay on the mantle for me

Teddy Knows my secrets:
a poem dedicated to my grandfather

She whispered secrets in his ear
ones she knew that he would keep
her grandpa promised to keep her safe
now she cries herself to sleep

Grandpa gave her, her first teddy bear
when she was 1 day old
he promised that it would protect her
it's secrets go untold

Teddy knew her secrets
through his ears to grandpas heart
it was like she told him everything
no matter how far apart

As he was in the hospital
teddy gave kisses to his cheek
followed by laughs and giggles
with not even a word to speak

A teddy to protect him
she put it next to his bed
hoping again, to keep him safe
one more kiss to his forehead

He said to her "please take it home,
I don't want for them to lose it"
so she took it then and held it close
in her arms he was a perfect fit

She held it close, every night
praying for him to get better
every night, she continued to write
another line of her letter

But I guess she asked too much from god
for he didn't answer her prayers
he took her grandpa away from her
and left her with only tears

She whispered one more secret
"I love you grandpa" is all she said
4 last words and 1 more tear drop
1 last kiss upon his head

She whispered secrets in Teddy's ears
ones she knew that he would keep
her grandpa promised to protect her
now she cries herself to sleep

The Girl And The Grave

She sat
On a stone
With nothing
But her thoughts
To accompany her.

It was odd
For a girl of her age
To stand at a grave day by day,
Somtimes she would even
Sneak in
And sleep
Next to him.

A year had passed,
Yet still she came to visit.
Some would ask "why",
While others ignored it,
But,
No matter what the weather
She would always visit that grave,
Over and over,
And over again.

Someone once asked her;
Why she visited the tomb everyday,
To which she replied;
Gravely,
A sad distant smle
Briefly crossing her face,
"I promised."

Hevean Needed a Hero (Collab)
by Italian Stallion and Brittney Schmelter

Tonight I lay,
Upon the moonlight.
Searching for the one,
That left my sight.

The trees whisper softly,
His name, they beckon
The wind catches it,
Flowing and moving on.

All alone, no one but me
Sitting here unable to see.
Tears fill my eyes,
Why did it have to be me.

Pain collides hard with my soul,
Pure anguish consumes me,
I throw my head back,
Letting out an aching scream.

It echos through the night,
And it echos through my heart
In there is a missing piece,
When you left you took that part.

Examining the picturesque stars
Wishing I was the one to die,
Life's not worth living without you,
To be happy would be to live a lie.

They said, your life was over
That it was your time to go,
But still, I can't understand,
I don't think I will ever know.

Hours I spend: alone and isolated,
The pain, a throbbing ache inside
Despair my constant companion
Haunting memories, I cannot hide

A thought suddenly dawn's upon me
Just as the moon starts to fade below
My question is finally answered:
"I guess Heaven Needed A Hero"

I'm in. (:

There's Not Much I Can Recall With Certainty.

The light bulb's died, there's no much light,
the picture's fell through-out the night.
There's glass about this hard wood floor,
and tears to stain the auburn door.
Not much to hold anything in,
if a flood would soon, somehow begin.
And, I'm not sure if there's much I can recall with certainty,
the feelings I shall feel for eternity.
I can't seem to get past the emotions you've dealt,
they're all so real, each one I've felt.
I'm trying so hard to get out of darkness,
but I'm stuck here lying on top of a mess.

And, I'm searching for more than I ever did know,
fighting to win a battle so far over, with nothing to show.

Thats 10 so far
correct me If i am wrong
^_^
11 to go
and thats one per person
keep em coming

Ana

The wind blew her hair,
Left butterfly kisses on her cheek.
Everything grew quiet;
Twas Ana's turn to speak.

"Stupid girl, I've returned.
Still hate yourself?
Thin is more important
than good health."

"I will not embrace you, Ana.
I'm so much stronger than that!
But i could use your help, i guess,
Since I'm so fcuking fat."

"You were afraid last time,
But you loved me too.
Tell me child,
What is food?"

"Food is the source that hides our bones.
Consumes our time and our soul.
By eating food
we are not whole."

"Stupid girl!
It's more than that!
It's the source
That's made you fat!!

You left me last time."
"I know i did."
"You ate food!
that I forbid!

You're thinking of food."
"No I'm not."
"Something greasy;
Something hot!"

"I would never eat that!
It's horribly digested.
those fattening foods,
that are calorie infested."

"Just remember,
Eating is a sin.
If you die,
You'll die thin."

Being thin is more important
than good health.
From the inside out
She's killing herself.

Ana controls
Everything she does.
Ana has changed
Everything she was.

"Starvation is control;
Control is tough.
Bones are beautiful;
When thin isn't enough."

She tells herself this
When she thinks about food.
Repeating in her mind
Food is no good.

"Ana! Ana!
You'd be so proud.
I'm almost down
To 90 pounds!"

"My job is done.
I'll get out of your head.
Now I'll hand you over
To good old E.D."

I am in let me find a really good one

No worries.
10 left.
keep em coming.

^_^

Just a little girl

You touched me when I was a kid
to make matters worse
you took advantage
of the fact I needed love.
I can't believe you did what you did.
You came back again like a curse
to take advantage
of my love.

Time and time again
you hurt me and used me
for your sick pleasure.
It saddens me to think
of you trying this again.
I want to be free
of your pressure.

So I sit and drink
to try and erase what you did.
I am glad you are away
long away from here
so I may have peace.
I wish I could have hid
or ran far away.
You whispered in my ear
"Give me a piece."

I try to drown
out your voice with booze
and heavy rock tunes.
I just become a clown.
Your voice is toxic ooze.
I should be watching cartoons
instead of having a battle to fight
every single night.

Since then many years
have past not my fears
They stay
never to stray or go away.
Till the day
comes that they say
your dead and gone
it won't be done.
I am stuck with this frown
till you let me be on my own.

8 left. Then ill read them all and post the winners. Thanks everyone. Xx

Oh, What A Wonderful World

I remember telling you it was okay to cry, but you were ugly when doing it.

I've always said to myself, "Oh, what a wonderful world." Then I met you.

The tears on your face are speaking louder than you've spoken in years. Please, just take my hand. It's just another risk you'll have to be willing to take.

I know the mirror looks nothing like how you feel, but Baby, I'm the same way. And you have to realize that mirror can't see your soul like I can.

<How can you understand when I'm the one to blame? I make mistakes you don't know about.

The answer is: Yes, I'm insane,> You had pleaded with me; I remember the choke in your voice. Please, tell me those aren't tears . . .

<But that never mattered when I alone was the one to blame.>

You had said this with sadness and sarcasm in your voice. I also remember -- as brightly as the sun is shining now -- you had a glimmer in your eye like you thought I had been judging you.

//I'm not judging you now.
//You look beautiful.

I had smirked at those eyes at that time. That glimmer in your now noncontagious eyes had burned like a chemical fire, and I thought I'd never loose my smile. You then narrowed those dangerous eyes as if you were intimidating.

//You are now. And as if telling you could bring your breath back again -- I did loose that smile.

I remember those words like you had said them yesterday and maybe it was just yesterday. However, since you've left, the tears have never been the same. Somehow they're more bitter -- saltier, perhaps -- and they burn at the eyes. They're burning even now, as I take this hour glass back a bit.

<What's giving up if you're already lost?>

And as a quiet after thought:

<Some of us don't mind it, being lost.>

I wish I could have seen the real contemplation within your eyes. But I hadn't. Now, as I replay every aspect of your eyes in my head, I see it. I wish at that time I could have taught you how to sing . . . I've wished before I could teach the world to sing, but I always thought we'd all be out of tune. Now, I realize we're all just singing separate notes to a very minor chord.

You could have sang the world I taught you.

But you didn't.

Instead, you wrote lies on your paper, so simple and lined.
And then you sang:
"She puts the bullet right through her head ----

----it goes right through me."

Resurrect Bronze Butterflies

Weakly, for drained I am of every strength,
reach my tattered hands toward the sun,
for butterflies, and birds of white,
fly freely in the daytime light.

When I was a small shy child,
I used to sit alone outside,
I'd breathe so silently you see,
the butterflies would land on me.

Like whispers in my tearstained heart,
they'd fly around, bright rainbows in the sky,
they'd kiss my cuts, my scrapes,
healing the bruises of no shape.

They'd leave magic sparkles on my broken skin,
giving me happy memories of what could never be,
laughing, they'd tell me it's allright,
they're encouragement lasting through every night.

But now... I reach my hands up to their wings,
my mind blank of color, yearning happiness,
most of them fly away, so fast in fear,
yet one is fallen, staying near.

I call to it, a broken being,
hoping that something could love me,
but as my fingers brush it's crooked wings,
the ashes of a fire sings.

A pile of dust, is all that's left,
of the gorgeous creature there used to be,
please make another, just for me,
one out of bronze, that can fly free.

For a golden butterfly of bronze,
cannot break so easily as ones of light,
so please give me one that can fly,
a little girl didn't want to be alone when she'd cry.

Only 5 to go!
cannot wait to judge my 1st contest ^_^

keep em comin!

Tower of Dreams

by NyellMoonlight

Yellow, withered leaves murmur haunting chords,
where new life's beginning old drags down in puddles,
memories consume heart plunged in wet dirt,
as the words are playing with rhyming numbers...
...out of tune, but oh, so sweet...

Trials of past float over bridges once destroyed,
well- known paths mystified by stunning confessions;
dreams unfold under the pillow
behind iron doors with thousand unbreakable locks
bringing back smiling face of ragged yesterdays.

Silhouettes of summers dance out of reach,
calling out the tears to show me what is real;
a temple is being built under my feet
while our hands, through blazing membranes, meet.
... you visited me in my sleep.

BESLAN.

The leaves fall slowly with a rustling sound
To the roof of the school, and you feel
In the air all the screams, all pain and wounds
That this place has experiences 3 years ago.

Their first day in school, they'd waited for it
Little innocent kids smiling, so happy, oh God.
Their parents so glad and proud of their kids....
The monsters who did it had a heart made of mud.

They occupied the school, started killing the kids,
Kept them inside for 3 days, guns ready to shoot
Three days of death, three endless days of fears,
When the life of a kid depend on terrorists' moods.

It happened 3 years ago, September, 1st
Three eternal days till September, 3rd
Why? What had these kids done to pay such cost?
To pay with their lives? What's happened to the world?

RIP

This poem is dedicated to the Beslan kids who died in the terror act in 2004. The school was occupied by terrorists for 3 days and they killed lots of the kids.

A bird

Your photo can't replace you sight
Your letter can't replace your words
I wish I could hold your hand tonight
I wish we weren't asunder any more

Two countries like different worlds
It's hard for me to look at the world map
Someday I'll turn into a little white bird
And fly a million miles to get to your state

And then I'll fly right to your window
At the darkest night you will see me
No fear, I will land on your finger
Feeling you is my only dream

But days pass by, separation is never ending
I'm still hoping every single day.
And every day brings me a letter, sweet and tender
But once on your profile I see a pic of your new girlfriend

That day was sunny, but it seemed like storm
Thunder, lightening, heart into smithereens
A window is open... It was the last song
Of a crying bird with broken wings

This bird was my love
I'm silent yet
But I'm alive

Forgive me, I'll never forgive you.

We're no longer friends, we're no longer close.
I used to deny but now I see the truth.
You hate me, and I could say the same for myself.
But it still hurts, a wound that can never be patched.

So, farewell to friendship, goodbye to you.
I'll always remember the times we had, us two.
And I'll be forever pondering, who did wrong.
If I was to fault, if it was I would should've made amends.

But please promise me, "your former friend".
To not go out of your way to ignore me.
Stop giving me those cold hard stares.
Move on and underneath it all, forgive me.

*****

How could I think of you; so kind?!
What state was my mind in save insane?!
You could never hurt a fly? AS IF!
You made me tremble, you made me cry.

Understand you're a monster,
I was stupid enough to trust.
I did nothing wrong, you're the one at fault.
I'm ashamed to say we once were friends.

I've started forgetting your name.
Because every time its said, I hurt.
But even if I try, I'll never forget what you did.
And I hope you understand, Its you I'll never forgive.

POLAROID

JUST TWO SPOTS LEFT PEOPLE!

Mommy, Daddy murders

I was injured plentiful times
I tried to stand up tall
I have committed several crimes
There’s nothing left for me at all

My father hates me and hates my mother
I and my mom are hurt
Father, why do you have to treat us like dirt?!

I unbolt my bedroom door
I hear a loud scream
It’s my mother!
I wish I can wake up from this awful dream,
I lock the door and,
Hide in the closet
Father is trying to kill mom!

I hear a drop
Tears roll down my eyes
I have to make this stop
What if mother dies?!

What can I do...?
The hatred in father’s heart grew
Father I wont never believe you
The words you said "I love you"
Because none of it was true

Everything went silent...
I unlock the door
I see mother and father lying on the floor

Dad is having his last breath
Mom’s heart stopped pounding
Mother had her death

What shall I do alone?!!
I pick up the knife
I slit my vein
I took away my life
With every bit of pain...

Awesome people
thanks so much
I will let you guys know the results ASAP
