torturous, blackened hearts
by: erica anderson aka yourfool

woops i forgot the poem....Silver gates of a spiders weave
Save my love just for you
Thorns of a red rose, bring me to believe,
All love has its heartaches to go through.

Some say to move on with living,
Stop saving my soul for the one
That i cant have no matter my trying
To get him back, i must say, it's not fun.

Torturous, blackened hearts they posses;
To stop us from thriving in our hearts
They must not know how they suppress
My grievance is running off the charts

I've tried to pick the lock on this gate,
And attempted to love another
But the vibe just wasn't their, no fate
These binds just won't break for another...

The Chapters Vol. 1

Hate unwreaketh my house und home,
Let be the 'holy' one to flame unknown,
Poisoned gates awaits thee,
Stricken sabbath sendeth me

Seven days tormented I,
Mortal minutes passeth by,
Lit upon the wicked wick,
My hope melted like a candle stick

Let he who forceth my wreckoning,
Be burnt unto the earth,
Yet thee who accept my divinity,
Have riches of earths girth

Send forth your golden chariots,
And riders of the son,
But let be known false idol he,
My word it shall be done

As it is written

Why Does It Hurt
by Sarah Drew

Keeping this secret locked up
Never letting anyone know
I cry myself to at night

Why does it hurt so much to love you
It makes everyday harder to live

I'm only a spectator to your love
Watching you flirt with everyone else
Leaving me alone and left out

There is no space for me in your life
You have made that clear to me
You don't know my true feelings

You treat me like your little sister
As though nothing you say will hurt
You laugh at me and make up jokes

Why does it hurt so much to love you
I know it shouldn't but it does
I wish I could tell you how I feel

Deceit, Defeat....episode repeat

The wretched pain is growing with the crown of thorn,
The fire is naked and dancing to my skin,
The sun is beckoning to become reborn,
The guilt of this absence now lies me paper thin,

The spitful tongue of hate is whipping me to shreads,
The reeper lurks behind my door and knocks with joyful glee,
I walk upon this burning path where no-one should ever tread,
The acidy spit of my demons helps me to foresee,

The window I'm about to break through and crumble to the ground,
The bleeding I'm about to pursue,
The missing pieces will soon be found,
As I await my turn in the guilty que,

The rumours spread round my head,
The way the feeling wrapped me up and now I'm numb,
I walk upon the tightrope and await the tears to shead,
I've been added up and now just a sum,

Now to unleash everything and make them pay,
My wings are long gone and I'm about to fight deceit,
This is it I think as I plundge into everything I have to say,
That's it, this is my final defeat....

Brand new... And dark lol

Immortal

Mislead by the world,she follows the night
Creates her own path,creates her own sight.
Spirit so dim, bruised and broken.
Heart so cold,as hatred's token.
Bitter and tired,she wishes not to feel.
Bitter and tired, she's too torn to heal.

"Bring me to the darkness,
Where the living are dead.
Blind me of mortal fate,
That lie ahead.
Make my heart beat stop,
Let the blood run cold.
Oh demon who take over me,
Let the blood run cold."

With every footstep, on the ground,
She holds no fear, hears no sound.
Veins are bursting, a surge through her spine.
Her lungs fill with oxygen, one last time.

"Bring me to the darkness,
Where the living are dead...Let the blood run cold."

A LOOK INTO MY HEART
*********************
I'M LOOKING DEEP INTO MY HEART
PAIN AND SORROW ARE BEGINNING FROM THE START
MY LIFE , MY SOUL WERE SEPARATED APART
AND I'M JUST LIVING MY LIFE FROM THE START
-----------------------------------------------
HAPPINESS SEEMS SO FAR AWAY
LONELINESS SEEMS MY ONLY WAY
JOY IS LIKE A STAR IN THE SKY
SO FAR TO REACH EVEN IF I TRIED
SADNESS ALWAYS IN FRONT OF MY EYES
SO EASY TO GET IT WITHOUT NO SACRIFICE
--------------------------------------------------
MY MOMENTS OF JOY ARE LIKE MY MOMENTS OF FEAR
EVERY TIME I TRY TO REACH TO IT , IT JUST DISAPPEAR
ALL THE WAY WALKING WITH A WOUNDED HEART
AND THAT'S WHY I'LL TRY TO BEGIN A NEW LIFE FROM THE START
--------------------------------------------------
A NEW LIFE WITH NO PAIN OR SADNESS
I'LL TRY TO FILL IT ALL WITH HAPPINESS
I'LL TRY TO FIND MY TRUE LOVE PRINCESS
WHO WILL GET ME OUT OF THIS FORTRESS

Maybe
by Tara Kay

I've missed this one special guy,
He's hurt me bad and made me cry.
And I'm just waiting for that perfect day,
When maybe I can have him back in every way.

Maybe he'll crash through my walls again,
Maybe he'll say that he'll be there for me,
My whole worlds just like a chain,
He's got me in his clutches and I can't break free.

He said his arms would always hold me,
He said his lips were mine alone to kiss,
Now after all the things he told me,
I wish it wouldn't end like this.

He made me see how lovely life could be,
Maybe now I think that hope has really gone,
Here is the lonely me,
I wish I knew if I was wrong.

Maybe the heart that comes apart finally mends forever,
Even if him and I are not together.

In Time

The distance is tearing me apart,
But I'm gonna listen to my heart.
Here is where I'm gonna stay,
In your arms I will always lay.

I'm gonna hold on strong,
No matter how long.
You'll always be mine,
We'll be together in time.

When will that be?
Don't be asking me,
All that I know,
Is that I love you so.

I'm gonna hold on to you,
While you whisper, "I love you too."
In your arms I'll cry,
"I don't wanna say goodbye."

X*xRemember Mex*x
by ShadowedPhoenix

Remember me? I am that voice,
that you fought to keep away.
The voice that speaks the truth,
yet you refuse to believe what i say!
Remember me? I'm that reoccurring voice,
the one that speaks to help you out-
By speaking the truth and letting you know,
what to do when your lonely, in love or in doubt!
I am the one that never leaves
When others turn away.
The one that listens and prays...
that you understand me someday.
Remember me? The voice when your alone
The one when you cry late at night_
I am the voice,
that comforts you after the fight!
Hello...remember me? I am that voice-
you fought to keep away.....
...I don't know why....
Because I am a voice and I am YOU!!

His warm embrace

Warm embrace, sweet face
Shining so bright, a beautiful sight
15 years ago, He told me I had to go
To somewhere else I didn't know
I was in tears
Couldn't think of being away
For many many years
He cleaned my tears
Put his hand on my heart
And told me: I will always
Be here. so near.
And smiled. A smile I'll never forget.
Then I came here
Forgot his face throughout the years
But I know he's here
With me through thick & thin
I have no fear. Trying to be my best
Knowing here I'm just a guest
Missing his warm embrace, sweet face
Shining so bright, a beautiful sight

By Marjan Nouhnejad

My sweet inspration

Come down my sweet inspiration
And give me back my beloved leisure
I swear I pledge you my allegiance
Please take pity on this d*mb creature.

I live in a d*mn world of repetition
So tell me how can I not write the same
What do you say? stop condemning me!
Why do you say my excuses are lame.

My life contains just love and hate
About our f**king egoism nation
But I do my best to change myself
So please bless me my sweet inspiration.

suzie!!!! i would love to enter in ur contest

here is

"stitches"

I sit here stitching up the tatters of my soul
Try to repair this ripped and shredded heart
I cry over these ruined works I had spent a lifetime on
Yet it only took a week for you to rip them apart

My silver needle again pierces through
The needle born of the lies you spun me
I feel a prick on my finger, a drop of blood forms
Even now your lies can still cut me

The thread dives down and emerges again
A thread woven of my wasted love
The thread when new was as white as snow
But now is grey, like an aged turtle dove

This heart and soul that I sit mending
Are washed with my tears as I cry
They embrace the thread and rejoice in the needle
And spread until not an inch is left dry

Washed with my tears and pierced with your lies
And darned with love's wasted thread
My soul feels as thin in my arms as rice paper
My heart is heavy as lead

but is marjans poem, i bit over 20 lines? its a great poem by the way

Eternal Sleep
by Alyson

This pain is to much
I wish it would end
My life is horrible
The blade is my friend

As it presses against my flesh
It creates a cavern so deep
It allows the red waters to flow
Casting me into an eternal sleep

Hey Guys, You're all submitting some really kick ass stuff here!!! i'm totally loving it. Marjan, unfortunately, yes, your poem is over 20 lines, but i would really really love for u to still be apart of my contest as you are definately high in my ranking with "His warm embrace".
Would it be possible for you to join two lines to make one? like "warm embrace, sweet face
shining so bright, a beautiful sight"

I'd be really grateful if you could. keep writing people, only 6 days left!!!!! lol

Rock on, Suzie

thanks for telling me. I'll do that.

much love to all,
marjan

What is the defenition of love,
is something i ask myself,
well love has no meaning at all,
it defers from hand to hand.

for one it can mean,
butterflies in your stomache,
and the speed of your heart,
for another itcan mean,
a haven of protection,
a flame in the darkness.

different poeple see love,
as so many different things,
so the definition of love lies,
not in a dictionary but deep inside your heart.

SILENT MEMORIES
(to those memories people keep silent we all have them)
Forgetting all those silent memories
That haunt the soul and mind
That corrupt the happy thoughts
That are usually so hard to find
Trying to keep them silent
Hoping they'll get lost
But sometimes their stronger
And happiness is all it costs
For memories you don't want
Such sacrifice you pay
To not feel that painful memory
You just want to go away
It seeps into your life unannounced
Like some kind of disease
As it eats away the happiness
That once used to ease
all the pain you have suffered
And the darkness that you see
all the loss of your happiness
is all caused by those silent memories

Fortunate as I
To have your love
You’re truly a godsend
That has fallen from above

I’m addicted to your lips
And your touch is temptation
I need you more then you know
Wanting you leaves me in anticipation

Us together, holds so many possibilities
Hold me tight in your warm embrace
On a silver platter I give to you
My heart covered in lace

Look into my eyes, tell me
That your heart is true
Always to love me
Like I love you

Too Late

She sits all alone
Huddled up in despair
Tears are rolling down her face
Her hope is leaving with each tear
She wonders what she's done
To deserve this cruel fate
She sits there misunderstood
When help comes it'll be too late
She takes the blade in her hand
Watches it gleam in the light
Slowly she raises it to her throat
Knowing she'll kill herself this night
Later on they'll find her
And realize their mistake
They could have helped this girl
But now it's too late

*no, this poem isn't true. just something i wrote when i was deppressed*

Our Path
by Just-take-my-heart-i-want-you-to-have-it

The loving light
of the moon
streams into my window
tears shine on my cheeks
after I was told to leave him alone
now wondering why
not wanting to listen
but here you are
here I am
our paths aren't clear
what should we do
once we step
we can't go back
all of the turns
are certainly final
we have separate paths
but maybe soon
our paths will merge
only time will tell

Because You Cared
by Dean Rands

I've been sad for so long
I've forgotten what happiness is like
And when I smile it just seems wrong
But surely sadness isnt right

Of this moment I forever dreamed
I wished, I hoped, I prayed
Nothing was as it seemed
Until you came, you helped, you stayed

I idolized you in every way
And found in you a special friend
Someone who always knew just what to say
And now I hope this will never end

For it is you that has released my pain
And help me smile a smile that is real
And feel some happiness once again
So now i'm not afraid to accept what I feel

Anyways I'll always owe you one
Or two or maybe three
Because of everything you've done
Because you cared for me

Darkness, spread across a canvas,
The sky without stars to be of service.
A midnight sky, without a moon,
All a Caterpillar sees in its cocoon.

Black, the color of anger and tears,
The color of sadness and fears.
A color so dark, it's the darkest of all,
The color that always seems to appall.

The color of hate, the color of death,
The color of life, without heartbeat or breath.
The color of rage, the hate, the madness,
The color that leads to eternal sadness.

Yet, my favorite color out of all of them,
The color that leaves you alone, to condemn.
The color of tears, that I've cried,
My favorite color, since I died.

-Slowly Slipping Away-

I lay in my bed all alone in the world
As I stare up at the ceiling
A silent tear falls down my cheek
I thought I'd gotten away from all my sorrows
And then just when I was beginning to look forward to tomorrow
All of my sorrows seem to flood back into my life
Making me feel as if I've been caught in a wave
And I am very slowly slipping away

I feel as if I'm forever trapped
Trapped in a sea of sorrows
I can only dream of being happy
Because deep in my heart I know that is something I will never be
No matter how hard I try
I just can't seem to escape my sorrows
That have become like a sea drowning me
And I am very slowly slipping away

Lonely park in September

A lonely leaf was caught by wind,
In autumn's grey September.
It flowed like silent cherubim,
for as long as I remember.

A single drop of tear I shed,
As leaf was in joyful stride -
The day was dismal, when the words I read
Of my lover's passing by.

Engraved in my soul, thy words are still
Deepening my blue
Now void remains that can't be filled,
I'm lost and so are you.

So I found myself being caught by wind
In early grey September.
And lost my little cherubim,
To things I can't remember.

-whoop already closed :p-
