My 15th birthday
by ~Łost ₣airy~

Today is my birthday,
But I don't feel happy,
Instead I'm crying,
Because you've hurt me.

Did I scares you,
That you don't even dare,
Talking to me,
And wishing me a happy birthday.

I don't know why,
You have to be so mean,
I thought we were friends,
And so that's what I thought.

I'm suppose to be happy,
This very day,
The day I was born,
And be grateful that I live till this day.

But that's not what in my mind,
You hurt me so much,
With your words and action,
But you can't even say a simple sorry.

I wish I'm not here,
This very minute,
Cause you never cares,
What I really feels.

Even if I'm dead,
Right now,
In front of you,
Will you say you're sorry.

I know you won't,
You will only think that I'm stupid,
For killing myself,
Just because I love you.

I am what I am right now,
Is because of you,
If it wasn't for you,
I will not have suffered.

How can you say,
You have nothing to do,
With all my tears and my fears,
When it all happen just when I love you.

A mistake I made has costs me this,
to be without your tender kiss.
A lie so stupid, an untruth been told.
Just give me your hand, to let me hold.
Making this better is what I'll do.
Just remember my love is true.
I'm sorry for hurting you, I know I was wrong.
My love for you, will always go on.
I let you down, and hurt you bad.
I never meant to make you sad.
You gave me the option, to love or leave it.
I'm still here, so please believe it.
I want you back, more than ever.
Love is like a floating feather.
You never know which way it's going.
Our young love will keep on growing.
Like a rose, beautiful, divine.
I just want you to be mine.
To keep to myself, I want to be greedy.
When it comes to you, I'm very needy.
Needy of your love and care.
To be without you, I cannot bare.
A broke heart, that may not mend.
To fix it for you, I assure to tend.
Every mistake, I pledge to right.
I can't go through another sleepless night.
One more chance I ask to obtain.
And one more chance I hope to gain.
I stayed up late to write you this.
To let you know, you're the one I've missed.

The Elegy of the Lovers
by HansRik

I cannot say in words how much I've loved
For words help not t'express the lover's wish.
Canst thou not see the pain of being unloved?
Or more the languid dolence we anguish?

Now I have lost yon opportunity,
The fire of love has burned this heart of mine
Crying, waning, yonder atrocities
Committed for love, for this thought of thine.

But I shall make myself an oak that stands
Upon thy doors and howls thy name fore'er.
And nevermore this pain will understand,
The love I have for thee, my dear girl.

The hills that sing and dream about thy love
Think not that they shall be eroded, yea,
The willows chant their elegy forgone,
And rot in fetid, rancid ideals.

And walkest thou in vainest thoughts and lies,
Laughing at the trees and hills that, for you, died.
Waiting for mine heart to expire its last sighs.

How beautiful thou seem'st outside,
The sun is but a phantom by thy side.

But nay!

Thy soul is cruel and cold, like the darkest night.

Stuck On A Love....

I'm head over heels in a love I can't describe,
The man that I'm in love with has a wife.
Why didn't he just tell me that a life with me is a fantasy?
I break down and cry as he pleads.....
I didn't think it would be this way,
I didn't really love her;
she got pregnant too soon
And wanted me to stay.
I got stuck on a love that grew too strong,
The sight of her beauty in my arms didn't take that long.
But what should I do?
I'm so confused,
Should I tell him that it's over were through,
Should I tell him to leave the woman of his life that's only 2?
Now I'm stuck on a love that grew too strong.
What should I do?

Righteous and true, he vows to protect all in his view.

He is a teacher and a warrior, he seldom becomes a follower.

His sword shines brilliantly when all is dark, and in the good people he leaves his righteous mark.

He helps when there are those in need, whether to give advice or to the poor he feeds.

His armor shimmers in the light, he is not afraid to fight.

No one knows fear, for they know the paladin is near.

But no one is truly safe in his protection, for he attracts bad attention.

When there is a light of hope to take claim, evil comes like moths to a flame.

Evil appeared one dark day, and the paladin stepped up to say,

"Where evil appears, I will always be near.

Surrender yourselves, or steel yourselves.

Either way, justice will put you away."

The paladin fought heroically, but lost dramatically.

Upon defeat he collapsed in exhaustion, and all wept for his eminent destruction.

The deadly sinner did not kill him quickly, he wanted him to suffer immensely.

The sinner Aron then stripped him of his shimmering armor, and along with it his valor.

Aron took his shining sword and tossed it away, without it the paladin could feel dismay.

Aron then tied the paladin to a stake, and watched him burn for no sake.

The paladin was gone forever, but he they would always remember.

*The paladin is not any kind of god, he's a paladin, and a paladin is a follower of justice and chivalry*

Unanswered Questions
by †Anthony†

When is OK to forget?
When can I release this pain?
The pain i felt,
When my heart was riped apart.
It's somewhat funny
How I've let this rule my life.
Talking to a broken photo
Of us is all I've had.
Asking, Why have you done this?
When will I wake up from this dream?
How will I go on with this hurt?
Who will rescue my mind from it's darkness?
I took on your sin to save your soul.
And you took it back but left some,
Enough for me to be damned,
Damned to this personal hell.
The poetry of a heartbroken soul,
Trying to be strong inside
The body of this weak, pitiful boy.
Too young to want to die,
To old to crave to turn back time.
And the questions in my head for you,
They will never be answered,
Because you are ashamed of me,
To be associated with one who cannot deal.
This is not a dream,
This is not a fantasy,
This is not an illusion.
I am trapped in reality.
Cold, heartless, dark, reality.

Thanks I Hope I Do Well!!!
