FALLING ANGEL 3
{ THE FINAL CUT }
********************
AN ANGEL
DO YOU THINK ??!!
YOU'RE NOT ONE OF THEM ...
HUMAN .. AFTER ALL THAT !!
WHAT ARE YOU SAYING ?!
I LOST MY MIND .. NO BELIEVE ME PLEASE NO
JUST HEAR MY STORY AND YOU WiLL KNOW ..
...PLEASE
----------------------------------------
ALL OF MY LIFE I'VE BEEN A LONELY SOUL
I GUESS I WAS A LITTLE OUT OF CONTROL
I LOVED ALL THE PEOPLE WHO WERE CLOSE TO ME
AND I'M SURE IF YOU KNEW THEM ALL YOU WOULD DISAGREE
BUT WHAT CAN I DO WITH MY BIG PURE HEART ??
IT MUST HAVE HAD ALL THE FORGIVENESS IN THIS BLOODY WORLD
----------------------------------------
AFTER SOMETIME I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG
MAYBE WITH ME OR WITH PEOPLE OR WE BOTH ALONG
I HEAR THEIR WHISPERS , I HEAR THEIR TALK
AS IF MY WHOLE LIFE IN THEIR EYES WAS A JOKE
TO HELP AND UNDERSTAND AND GIVE MY FRIEND THE HAND
TO FORGIVE AND TRY WITHOUT KNOWING THE REASON WHY
----------------------------------------
BUT YOU SEE , THEY THOUGHT I'M TOTALLY INSANE
I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHY OR KNOWING WHY IS ALSO A SIN
I FELT DEPRESSED , I FELT SO SAD
AND EVERY TIME I THINK OF THIS IT DRIVES ME MAD
WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH ALL THESE CRAZY PEOPLE AROUND??
SHOULD I JUST WALK AWAY OR TRY TO MAKE THEM UNDERSTAND
----------------------------------------
THAT OUR WORLD IS REALLY A BEAUTIFUL PLACE
IF WE JUST LET LOVE GROW DEEPER IN OUR HUMAN RACE
IF WE JUST CHOOSE TO DO THE RIGHT AND AVOID THE WRONG
THAT WOULD BE THE FIRST STEP TO WALK IN THE SAME WAY ALONG
----------------------------------------
IF JUST WE OPENED OUR EYES TO SEE THE BEAUTY OF OUR UNIVERSE
WOULDN'T IT CONVINCE US TO THINK AND MAKE US REVERSE
THE WAY WE LIVED AND LIVING OUR LIVES
WE CAN MAKE EVERYTHING WE WANT WITH NO SACRIFICE
WE CAN KILL GREED AND REPLACE IT WITH LOVE
WE CAN MAKE USE OF ALL THE GIFTS FROM GOD ABOVE
----------------------------------------
WELL , NO ONE LISTENED TO ME AND NO ONE CARED
NO ONE REALIZED THAT THE FATE OF THIS WORLD LIES IN OUR HAND
NO ONE BELIEVED THAT I WAS AN ANGEL FROM THE SKY
AND THAT'S WHY I'M TELLING YOU THIS LITTLE STORY OF MINE
----------------------------------------
YOU CAN SAY YES BUT I'LL KNOW IT WOULD BE A LIE
PEOPLE LIKE YOU CAN'T SOLVE THAT PROBLEM OF MINE
SO JUST LET ME GO BACK TO MY SMALL BLACK CELL
SO THAT WOULD BE NO ONE ELSE I CAN TELL
MY STORY THAT TURNED MY LIFE TO HELL
BUT I'LL REMEMBER IT UNTIL THE DAY I DIE OR YOU WILL
----------------------------------------

**ok, here's my poem. i wrote it last year,and it doesn't rhyme well in some places, but it's still important to me, and it's still true.**

broken

your words slice through me
sharp as a knife
my blissful happiness is gone
because of this strife
each day is the same
you break me, then put me back together
i'll go in my room to hide
when i come out, you act like you don't remember
you don't see how hurt i am
even though it's so clear
and no matter how many times i cry
you don't see a single tear
you don't understand how much pain you cause me
you'll never understand my sorrow
you don't know how many times i pray
that it'll be better tomorrow
but it'll never be better
for when i think there's finally peace
it's all torn away
it comes to a cease
i end up broken
just like before
all the suffering i've gone through
i'll go through once more
i wish you'd stop this yelling
it makes me feel like such a failure
you don't realize what you're doing
my life is becoming my nightmare
my memories are haunting me
i'm restless every night
i cannot fall asleep
all i can do is cry
the next day you come up to me
you put me together again
then you say you're sorry
and you think you've been forgiven
but there's something different now
something is not right
for a piece of me is missing
one that's beyond your sight
i feel like all my true happiness is gone
i'm in this deep depression
but nobody will ever know this
for i'm lying and pretending
i'll never show how i really feel
unless you're someone i trust
you'll never see a single tear shed
in public my pain turns to dust
but no matter what i lead you to believe
inside i am crying silently
for i know if things keep going this way
my nightmare will become my reality

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

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

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

The things in my Dreams
by Alyson

Horrid little monster under my bed
Teeth worn sharp and eyes glowing red
Awake at night in the shadows of my room
Filling my dreams with impending doom

Eight legged fiend upon my wall
Building webs along the hall
Creeping around in the dead of night
Filling my dreams with unescapable fright

Blood sucking creature out side my door
Loves the way the red blood pours
Watches me as I sleep alone in the dark
Filling my dreams with a horrible mark

These are the things that haunt my dreams

Blackest Winter

She steps through the snow
It's the day she must go.
The wind blows violently, she pulls her jacket close
Today she must journey to the one she loves most.

The snow flies down from the tree tops above
She's already cold, this is more than enough
To try to handle but she just can't hang on
These winter months seem to just drag on.

She wonders to herself if they'd find her body if she froze
She wonders if they'd miss her, she wonders if they'd know
That she had died but she realizes there's no one left
To care about her, and the loniness weighs on her chest.

She nears a wooden cabin, deep in the trees
She stops at the door, falls quickly to her knees
You see she never gave up, she found her destination
But the door is shut. He forgot her and had forgotten her salvation.

A tear rolls down her cheek, freezes on her skin
The wind blows colder, but she keeps up her chin
She stands back up, doesn't bother knocking on the door
She knows that he doesn't live there any more.

She walks back to where she started, a place far away
She rids herself of memories from that horrid day
Her pride stoped her from knocking, now she'll never know
He was there, waiting, staying inside from the snow.

She
by Marjan

She’s a sweet girl aged eighteen
Not so fat, not so thin
Full of life, full of light
The things she does make you bright
***
always happy, never sad
her laughter makes you glad
backing away all the clouds
she’s the one that makes you proud
***
Though she’s clever, so generous
She still seems so courteous
Without any overstatement
She’s really really intelligent
***
my best friend, the best listener
she’s so… good. I count on her.
Teaching favors her a lot
If you’ve any problem in your
lesson you don’t have to ask her a lot.
***
she loves to study mathematics
solving problems, making theories
she’s my sister by my luck
she always asks me to talk
***
Always smiling, she likes to encourage
She’s the one that gives you courage
Brightening up, kicking out all the stress
She’s the one that clears the mess
***
her hair black, her eyes brown
she’s like a queen with a crown
her laughing eyes not like the rest
she’s my sister, Maryam, the best.

DEAD AS OUR LOVE FOR EACH OTHER

Distorted faces, black and white
Riddled with self hate
Gruesome Nightmares choke our dreams
And blood showers our faith

Lilly's of the purest white
Bare tendrils of the frost
Rotten stumps that were once trees
We know not what we've lost

A lifetime suffered tombed in stone
That cracks when we are hurt
Another shattered heart, left cold
And still nothing we've learnt

Contorted hope and bleeding wrists
Now try wield your sword
Frozen steel with hints of rust
Forgiveness ask thy lord

A thousand times we've fought for life
And built withstanding walls
Only now to be destroyed
for what builds up has got to fall

*even if i don't win anything, thanks for reading it, i tried so hard to write one i hadn't published already for this contest*

Showing Love in Many Ways

Looking back at my past
There’s no way I could’ve made it
Without you in my life, by my side
Making everything right.

There have been others before you
But no one comes as close as you do.
You’ve shown me so much love
Unlike anyone else ever has.

You show you’re love in many different ways
You’ve held me close in your arms
Kissed my lips so tenderly
And just stayed with me when I needed you.

How could I ever repay you
For all you’ve done for me?
The only thing that comes to mind
Is do the same you’ve done for me.

I’ll show my love in many different ways
I’ll hold you close in my arms
Kiss your lips so tenderly
And just stay with you when you need me.

Being with you makes me feel special
Lying in your arms, I’m safe
No one could ever harm me
Just as long as I stay in your arms.

As you lean your head on me
I smooth back your hair, and kiss your forehead
Holding onto you, I never let go
Caressing your face, you fall asleep next to me.

We show our love in many different ways
We hold each other in our arms
Kiss each other’s lips so tenderly
And stay together for all time.

As i look into the midnight sky
i wonder are you seeing what i see?
the midnight air gives me chills
as your face comes close to mine

the midnight moon is looking at me
do you see it
does it look at you

i remember that winter day
you stole my heart
and i stole your's away

i have that same feeling
do you have it too

i look at the moon
is it looking at you?

*could you guys give some ideas for a title Please" :)

My Last Goodbye

This lonely heart is brutally shattered.
A pressure builds from no blood spattered.
My chest aching,
I can't stand the pain.
I gave you my love, and with you it remains.

A bitter storm rages deep inside.
Hot acid rain are the tears that I cry.
My eyes are burning,
I've cried far too long.
You've left me feeling, like I can't go on.

All of my trust, bestowed upon you.
Those three words, this fool believed true.
Entrapped within,
Is my heart and soul.
I know you don't love me, but all of me you hold.

I can't bear any longer to hear your name.
I hate that I still love you the same.
Memory hurts,
I need to forget.
I'd never have fallen, if we hadn't met.

Shredded are the pictures of you that I had.
As I hold every piece in the palms of my hands.
Blow one last kiss,
Moan one last cry.
I guess this is it... My last goodbye.

just-take-my-heart-i-want-you-to-have-it :
A suggestion for A tiltle might be 'Midnight' or maybe 'The Moon' or something along those lines.

The Boy Who Loved
by Tortured Soul

There was once a boy who loved
He was happy and joyful
He had everything he wanted
He was in love with the most beautiful girl

But one day that all changed
She got into a car accident
She died because she got hit by drunk drivers

After that day the boy stopped loving
He had no feeling of happiness
He started to see everything as wicked

He began to hate everyone
Life didn't feel like living anymore
And so, the boy who loved
Took his own life

~* The Broken Mirror *~

She lies on the bathroom floor with a piece of mirror in her hand,
She doesn't remember how she got there, she doesn't understand.

Why she hit the mirror, why her blood was on the floor,
She doesn't understand why, or what she's fighting for.

She doesn't seem to remember why she cried all night,
Why is it that she fought you, why is it that she fights.

As she stared at the broken mirror, and her blood upon the floor.
She finally seems to realize why her mum was at the door.

She saw her own blood, like she never thought it'd be red.
She saw the broken mirror, and wished she would be dead.

Her mom started crying and fell to her knees,
As she watched her baby dying, finally at ease.

I am sorry I have not been perfect,
During my eighteen years of life.
I am sorry you think I am anorexic,
And that I live life by a knife.
I am sorry I am not the same little girl,
That I was a short time ago.
I am sorry that I feel so much pain inside,
And that you have yet to see me grow.
I am sorry you must look into these cold eyes,
And that I have no confidence left to spare.
I am sorry that I like being away from you,
And that you hate the clothes I wear.
I am sorry for keeping things from you,
And for all my self-destruction.
I am sorry for making you yell at me,
And for causing you have that reaction.
I am sorry for all the times I have sided with Dad,
And for not feeling a bit of guilt.
I am sorry for being the reason you damaged,
The relationship we could have built.
I am sorry for using your best kitchen knife,
To slit my wrist for the first time.
I am sorry for making time spent with me,
Have to feel like a crime.
I am sorry for not giving you hugs when you want them,
And I am sorry for resenting you.
I am sorry for not having the same beliefs,
And for always making you argue.
I am sorry I do not like you,
And that I cannot forget things you have said.
I am sorry that each and every day,
Those words go through my head.
I am sorry for never calling,
And that I do not miss you at all.
I am sorry you had to see me at my worst,
Sorry you had to see me fall.
I am sorry I am not the perfect daughter,
And that I am not who you thought I would be.
I am sorry, mother, for letting you down,
I am so sorry for being me.

Silent memories
by Tabby

(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

The Fight That Change Our Lives

I hear the yelling and screaming
I feel the vibrations of the banging
I hear the screams of bad words coming
From your mouth
I hear you say I am leaving and not coming back
You cant leave just like that you have kids
What are you going to do for the kids?
How do you think we will feel?
Bet you dont even care
Care that I am hear crying
Care that you are about to walk out of 4 different
Kids life
But you didnt even think that we needed you
That we loved you
You leave with out saying bye
Hear I am the oldest child
Your first daughter
Crying cause you are walking out my life
Then you see me running after you
Yelling mommy dont leave please dont leave me
You stop and say Jenn I love you and all your brothers and sisters
Dont forget that
You drive off and just leave me crying
Do you really love me?
Cause if you did you will not have left me
Now hear I am and Im needing a mom
We all need a mom
How is Gillian and Chloe going to grow up?
With out a mom to go to
Am I supposed to take that role?
The role of a mother when I am not ready
I walk back in the house and I look at daddy
I see he is crying just sitting on the sofa and crying
I bet you did not even know that this man loved you
Loved you enough that the next thing I know is that
He was getting in the car coming after you
That day you did not come back
But please do know that he is still looking
Looking for you; he has not stopped and its been
Over a year
Mom where ever you are he wont stop looking for you
Mom you were wrong to leave I was not ready for this mother job
I was not ready to be on my own with out a mother
You were wrong when you said that dad did not love you
He does love you and thats why he is out till this day looking for you
Mom we all love and miss you and we all hate that you left but we all
Forgave you so please come back come back for the kids come back for dad
Do it for the family I dont want the role of a mother when I am still in need
For a mother and Gillian and Chloe including me needs our real mother around
We need you mom cant you see that we all miss and love and forgave you for leaving but now we need you around I hope you see this poem because its coming from my hart and all I can say now is
PLEASE COME BACK WE NEED YOU
