You left me and i dont know why.
You never explained why you left me.
And every night i began to cry,
and i lost everything i could ever see.

You were my friend,
and I miss you every day.
I thought you'd be here till the end,
and be my friend in every way.

There isnt a day that goes by,
when i realise that you made me smile.
And you said you'd be here until i die,
and now you were here for a little while.

What happened to us,
What did we do wrong.
I know i'm making such as fuss,
but i think of you all day long.

I want you hear to look out for me.
Hold me close when i am sad.
The pain i feel is all you see,
and i bet you are very glad.

You hurt me once and dont do it again,
i'm sorry for being your friend,
i have to get rid of all this pain,
and help my heart to mend

I lost her by: Tim Bradshaw

The phone rang late one night,
I couldn't believe my ears.
They said my love was hit by a car,
And I exploded into tears.

They rushed her to the hospital,
That's where I seen her.
I wanted to take her pain away,
I wanted to be the cure.

They said she wasn't conscious,
But I knew she heard me.
I told her everything would be okay,
As I prayed upon my knees.

I sat beside her for two days,
Waiting for her to open her eyes
So we could talk one more time,
And she could watch the sun rise.

The doctor came and said it's time,
They said sorry but it's true.
Its time to pull the plug on her,
It was the only thing to do.

So I said please let me,
It's the least that I could do.
Baby rest in peace I'll be there soon,
And don't ever forget that I'll always love you.

"Apart of me"

For the longest time
My lips were sealed
But my deepest secret
Now revealed

I always wondered
Deep inside
How life would be
By a fathers side

I wish I knew
At least your name
I wish I knew
Just who to blame

I blame myself
I feel as though
It`s all my fault
You didn`t watch me grow

Was I not good enough
To make you stay
Am I the reason
You walked away

You deprived me
Of a fathers love
You deprived me
Of a loving fathers hug

I went through life
Acting as if I didn`t care
That you, my father
Were never there

It bothered me inside
In my heart I knew I was sad
That to me you`re a stranger
The father I never had

Deep in my heart
To fate I plea
To see the man
That is one half apart of me.

Without You

I'm closing my eyes, grasping thin air.
You're nowhere around, why aren't you here?
I scream ever loudly, crying my plea,
Unbreak my heart, come back to me.
But I know there's no difference, in the wind's direction.
Never again will I see perfection.
Because without you, walls tumble down.
Without your voice echoe, I hear no sound.
The world can't spin, my heart only bleeds.
Heaven has robbed me of everything I need.
I wander alone, through hell's icy path,
Only surviving, on memories of the past.
My fingers still moving, in hopes to hold yours,
My mind still searching, through mist it explores.
I need to reach you, I don't believe you're gone.
You said you'd never leave me,I can't move on.
God cannot take you, for with you is my soul.
I cannot breathe, when life's reason, he stole.
I can't help but wonder, if you loved me too...
Is it safe to assume, that our love was true?
And if I am right, if our hearts felt the same,
Than why did you leave me, in such agony and pain.
Return to me please, my tears are running out.
I'm thirsting for water, in this loveless drought.
There is only one, whom I was meant to be,
Together forever, just you and me.
Eye's still closed, empty hands feared.
I see a smile on your face, but it soon disappears.
In my mind you linger, and it will never forget.
Pieces of my heart, will find healing yet.
I'll find you one day, I know that I will.
And sweet angel please know, that I love you still.

RIDERS OF NO MERCY

Soldiers on the oceans waves
Horses with white main
Riders dressed in cruelest black
We're flowers to be slain

Droplets of the darkest red
Form in the clouds of grey
Brooding for a war of worlds
Where it was always day

Innocent as we may be
They come to fight with valour
In this pure and coloured world
On us the blood will shower

Take a stand against our ways
Battle brings no peace
Even when there's none to fight
The killing doesn't cease

Cut us down and pile us up
In fire our souls die
Rising up with bloodstained smoke
Into the darkened sky

What have you gained by massacre
Of our fragile race?
Like the joker of the pack
We still laugh in your face.

My journey
by Marjan

Now that I let the words out of the cage
Let them flow freely on this page
The sun is setting
And it's getting dark
Soon, up so high in the sky
The stars will spark
Starting my wander around the world
Walking on this earth that is way too cold
On my foot, I cross the land
A little lamp in my hand
A coat to keep me warm
Shoes to keep away the harm
I keep going on and on
Sometimes walk and sometimes run
Until a far away town I can see
Where under a bridge, there's a family
I feel ashamed
At the sight of a little boy
That his shirt is his only joy
Taking off my coat
I wrap it around him
A smile is the only thing I receive
Which is the best gift one can ever give
I keep going
Strong winds, freezing weather
Go back home. That's better.
Warm blankets, hot coffee
This a voice keeps telling me.
Not paying attention,
I keep going
With my lamp, trying to spread light
At this dark icy night
Somewhere, there's a woman
With unspoken words
Locked up inside her
She doesn't have any shoes to wear
Taking off mine, I give them to her
She looks at me with her shining eyes
In them, rest her silent cries
I pat her on the back
& disappear at the night so black
Deep wounds, thorny bushes on the ground
Utmost peace I have finally found
With a smiling face, I enter the next city
I have come to help humanity
A child at the side of a grave
For her father she craves
Sitting beside her for some seconds
After a while, we become friends
Trying to ease her pain
Being a shelter for her in the rain
At the end, I give her a hug
Then disappear in the fog
Tired but happy I return
A big lesson I have learned
Now, I'm completely blind
Leaving my lamp behind
For the little girl I have met, wants to
Have a journey around the world too.

1:00 AM
By -*N3mA*-

It's almost 1:00 AM
And I'm still awake
Before I go to sleep
Theres a risk I want to take

It's my heart
telling me "don't stop"
And my mind says
"theres still some hope"

To describe our love
is harder than I thought
into this love
only us were caught

your love is something
i'll never forget
falling for you is something
I'll never regret

your smile to me
means the whole world
your loving heart
is the thing I want to hold

your love words
inspire me so much
and it makes me shiver
feeling your hand touch

our souls
will fly high
we'll forget the pain
that made us cry

I'll be with you
In the thick and the thin
And I promise you
To never give in

I'll hold you in my arms
even more than eternity
I'll be your soulmate
forever and you'll see

just call my name
if theres something you need
I'll show you the way
But I'll follow and you lead

when you're depressed
I'll take your pain away
when you say you love me
I'll say I'll love you forever and day!

I'm waiting for you ... where are you?

----------------------------------------------------

How did i lose you?
I keep asking myself,
I did everything right,
But i did everything wrong..

Gazing into your Hazel eyes,
Tears pouring from mine,
you tell me its over,
but i cannot believe.

You told me love is everlasting,
That we'd be together forever,
But you must've thought otherwise,
when you chose him over me.

I'm sorry i couldn't help you,
That i couldn't take away the pain,
That i couldn't be there for you,
That i couldn't be the one.

You lock yourself away, hidden from me,
I try to break in, but you just say leave,
I tell you i'll always be here, that i'll never leave,
but then you leave me, just as i find the key.

I'm waiting for you ... where are you?
Love means being there for the one you love,
but you have someone else now to be there,
and i have no-one.

"Get over her" They said.
Shes not worth all the pain she caused you,
I was over her, i thought i was forever,
But i love her, and i cannot tell her.

I Love you. I would do anything for you,
but you don't need me anymore, you have someone else to care for you,
And i don't have anyone.

The Suicide Act

I walk down a dark hallway
And look all around
I glance at the floor
Theres blood on the ground

I continue to walk
Never missing a step
I continue to think of
All the secrets they kept

I'm stumbling along know
I don't know where to go
I look at my arms
And the stories they show

I'm following the blood trail
It ends at a room
Don't want to go in there
It feels to much like doom

I take a breath now
I open the door
The sight before me
Causes the tears to pour

I don't know whats happening
That can't be me
I open my mouth
Desperately trying to scream

Theres blood on the bed
And blood on the floor
I'm on the bed
I can see from the door

I glance at my arms
How transparent they look
Then I look at the bed
The life that I took

The tears come harder
I sink to the floor
I glance at my body
Then run out the door

I never stop running
I never glance back
Forever I'm part of
The Suicide Act

My poem is called "Falling Into Oblivion"

or the love of you
You dont know how to feel
Not liking them for the struggle
Only for them wanting you first.

It never would of happened
The sky would of fallen into oblivion
Your like a never changing season
When all comes down to reality
Its all fine for nothing
You'll never get to really feel
Fake love is all youll get to know

If you never change
Youll never grow
Youll never feel
Youll never know

Love comes at a price
To costly for what you want
So fake loves all youll ever know.
Taking what you can get
Liking them Cause they liked you first
You never liked them from the beginning
Just to have someone to simply hold.

Atleast I know, and could care less,
What it does to my heart, to feel.
Even if I breakdown, atleast I have felt.
Feeling true love, knowing whats real

For the love of you,
Your like a never changing season
The leaves never falling down
Your heart stays the same all year round
Never feeling pain, feeling nothing in fact
They like you when youre lonely
You dont like the effort involved
Liking them for the simplicity of having to hold
Not liking the bold,
your heart, so cold.

Atleast I now, and could care less,
What it does to my heart, to feel.
Even if I breakdown, atleast I have felt.
Feeling true love, knowing whats real.

If you never change,
Youll never grow
Youll never feel
Youll never know

For the love of you
I hope the sky falls to oblivion.

Woops the first word of my Poem is suppost to say "For" not "or" lol. just thought id clear it up

I see a lonely girl,
she is smiling,
to all she looks happy,
but to me she looks sad,
for i can see past the smile,
to the broken heart within.

she laughs out loud,
but cries inside,
her smile never fails,
but within she dies.

in front of others,
she hides,
as one described,
in her cloak of beauty
she stands straight,
and seems alright,
the belle of the ball,
never looses a fight.

in her lonely hell however,
her beautiful face is adorned with tears,
her eyes tell a tale filled with pain,
her body trembles,
and her heart breaks,
her smile disappears and is replaced with a deep sorrow never seen before.

when she faces the world,
she does not brake,
no one sees past her laugh,
no one sees her hidden lies.

but alone she has no weapon,
no reason to hide her fears,
she lets it all go,
she lets it all out,
she lets her heart bleed,
and lets herself drown.

i look at this beautiful, lost girl,
whose hope has been shattered and thrown away,
whose feelings have been played with,
whose heart has been torn,
and i understand her fears and pains.

no one shall ever see past her smile,
within her beauty she hides her lies,
she says I'm fine again and again,
and everyone is fooled by her clever game.

everyone that is but the girl and me,
for we are both one in all means,
i am looking in a lake of sorrow,
at me stares back my reflection,
no one knows our fears,
just ourselves,
and as i realize that she is but my reflection,
i walk away.

i walk away knowing that one day it shall get better,
i walk away with the first glimmers of hope coming through,
and i walk away knowing if i give up,
i will end up in that pool of sorrow,
from which no joy come,
no one drinks from,
and all stay away from.

i walk away knowing that the fight has not been lost.

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

The angels fly
the mermaids swim
they come by
do you want one of them?

if you could only say one word
and have the perfect person
would it be love?
or just a thing

would you choose beauty
even if she was black inside?
or would you choose another
with the heart of gold

if this world only saw the outside
how would it be
men would be used for their money and things
and women for their sex and thrills

count your blessings and bid goodbye
this would will soon crumble and die
if only there was magic
we would all live in peace

*i hope you enjoyed it*

FALLING ANGELS
{ THE BEGINNING }
*****************
TRUTH
WHAT IS THE TRUTH?
WHERE IS THE TRUTH?
WHAT IF THE TRUTH YOU KNEW WAS A LIE?
WHAT IF ALL THE PEOPLE YOU KNEW SAID GOODBYE?
DID YOU THINK THEY WERE GOING TO STAY?
DID YOU THINK THEY WERE GOING TO SAY I LOVE YOU SOMEDAY?
WELL THAT'S ALL NOW HAS GONE FAR AWAY
*****************************************
NOW YOUR LIFE IS ALL THAT YOU GOT
WALKING ALONG THE STREET THINKING THAT YOU CAN HOLD YOUR HEAD UP HIGH BUT YOU CAN NOT
CAUSE YOU ARE WALKING DOWN WITH A WOUNDED HEART
YOUR SOUL CAN'T BEGIN THE JOURNEY FROM THE START
AND YOU AND YOURSELF ARE SEPARATED APART
*************************************
YOU ARE AN ANGEL BUT NO ONE KNOWS
NO ONE BELIEVED YOU AND THE STORY GOES
YOU LOVED A WOMAN; DO YOU THINK THIS IS RIGHT?
YOU FELL TO EARTH BECAUSE IT WAS JUST TOO BRIGHT
BUT NOW YOU KNOW THAT YOU'VE BEEN FOOLED
BY THE WOMAN AND EARTH YOU WERE RULED THE LIGHT AND BRIGHTNESS HAS FADED AWAY
LEAVING YOU SUFFERING ALONG THE WAY
****************************************
YOUR EYES NOW CAN CLEARLY SEE
WHAT WAS LYING INSIDE OF ME
AND WHAT IF THE TRUTH THAT I NEVER TELL
WAS NOTHING BUT LIES AS WELL
YOUR HEART BROKE UP IN TEARS
AS IT WAS HOLDING ON FOR SO MANY YEARS
BUT NOW THE RIGHT TIME HAS COME
AND I SHALL TAKE BACK MY FREEDOM
***********************************
I LIED, YES, BUT FOR YOUR SAKE
I LOVED YOU MY ANGEL BUT YOU DID MISTAKE
TO LEAVE HEAVEN AND COME DOWN FOR ME
ONLY IF I KNEW I WOULD DISAGREE
LOVE WAS ALWAYS IN MY HEART
BUT SACRIFICE WILL BRAKE THAT APART
***********************************
I ALWAYS WANTED YOU BESIDE ME
I ALWAYS WANTED TO FEEL YOUR TENDER WORDS FOR ME
I ALWAYS WISHED THAT WE COULD ALWAYS BE TOGETHER
I WOULD WAIT FOR YOU FOR NOW AND EVER
BUT I GUESS YOU DIDN'T SEE ALL THAT CARE
IT SUDDENLY VANISHED IN THE AIR SOMEWHERE
MY VOICE WAS SO WEAK TO CALL YOUR NAME
AND YOU TURNED YOUR BACK LIKE YOU HAVE NEVER CAME.
***************************************

We were all sitting around a table
Setting out the meal we were to eat
When a gunshot echoed out around us
And brought us all to our feet

A woman burst through the doors
I only glanced for a second at her face
My eyes were drawn to the gun in her hand
And my heart started to race.

She started to walk towards our group
None of us moved, not knowing what to do
But all of us were surprised
When she levelled the gun at you

The blood drained from your face
As she called out for you to step out
You did as she commanded, trembling
When she held the gun to your head you knew not to shout

Crying, she still held the gun steady
Someone's mobile started to ring
She ignored the distraction and called out
"I'll tell you why I'm doing such a terrible thing"

"I was at a party with some friends one night
I was sober when I meet him
But after he had given me a lovely pink drink
The whole night in my mind went dim"

"But I was wide awake that morning
Wrapped in a sheet in his bed
He left his seed inside me
Now I'm a mother, but I'd rather be dead"

"So I'm hear to even up the score"
As she pushed her gun in your face
Unless someone will step forward
And I'll kill them in your place"

"Is there anyone here who will save you?
Who loves you enough to give up their life?
Any one who loves you that much?
Have you changed, stopped causing women strife?"

You look desperately at your girlfriend
That one you scorned me for
Your eyes look at her pleadingly
But she just stares that the floor

The trigger is pulled back and you close your eyes
It's clear that no one will save you
But I look at you, and remember how I feel
So I step forward, it's the only thing I could do

The gun is pulled back as the room gasps
No-one can believe their eyes
I was the last one they expected
After all, I had been feed all his lies

You stare at me not daring to believe
You can't believe what has occurred
You never expected this I can tell
You should have known I would have the last word

She looks up from her gun and smiles at you
"Maybe you've made a mistake my dear
I know your history with this man
You don't know what you're doing I fear..."

I shake my head and step forward again
She sighs "Well it's your call"
A shot rings out and at first I feel nothing
Then the pain drives me to the floor

She drops the gun and runs out the door
For what seems like an age all is still
I look at the hands I cupped over my heart
With my blood they are starting to fill

I look up at your face still staring at me
And your mouth forms the word "Why?"
The world around me dims as I whisper
"Because I love you." at this you start to cry

"I love you dispite what happend in our past
Dispite the love for me you lack.
I love you enough to give you this gift..."
the world stops, and all fades to black

Okay, the contest is over.
I've decided to pick the winners.
