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.

Ending the Pain
by Alyson

A girl sits by her window
Blade in hand
Staring out across her yard
Trying to decide what to do

Should she end her pain?
With this question rushing through her head
She moved the blade tword her arm
Hoping for peace

Pressing it against her flesh
She watches how the red blood flows
Feeling the tension leave
Welcoming the peace

Now she feels dizzy
The blood hasn't stopped
Its still flowing down her arm
Into the puddle on the floor

She knows what is coming
Theres no going back
So she walks to her bed
And lays down

Her head hits the pillow
And she closes her eyes
While taking deep breaths
She welcomes death

As the darkness surrounds her
She thinks of him
As she pictures his face
The cause of all her pain

She takes one last breath
The darkness consuming her
The pain is ceasing
Then theres nothing

So, I hear you're going out with someone new,
I guess this means we are forever through.
I bet before you know it, I'll just be a memory,
You won't remember a single thing about me.

I never thought the love flame would die,
At least not so soon, but I guess this is goodbye.
So much for getting married, when I turn 18,
But I'll remember everything, from the Rams to the color green.

I knew a lot about you, that I never told,
And I never will, for any amount of gold.
Think back to before we went out,
How when we were together I'd never pout.

We might've been just friends, but we saw eachother a lot,
You never made me cry, but the happiness was shot.
I can't believe I spent the last week,
Writing the perfect letter of words I couldn't speak.

I was up day and night,
Writing in the dark and light.
It's a good thing I checked your myspace,
Before I sent the message, wow what a waste!

I got no sleep, and for what?
To find out it's too late, and the door is shut.
Well, have a nice day, say hi to your girlfriend,
for me, and tell her you'll love her until the end,

Like you did to me...

(i don;t know if this is what u meant by sad, but this was the longest poem i had that was any good....so if its not right then whatever)

NO ITS GOOD I DONT CARE IF YOU HAVE SHORT ONES BUT I PREFER LONG ONES!

In My Dreams
by Sarah Drew

I fall asleep
I start to dream
My thoughts are deep

I see him there
He walks over to me
He runs his fingers through my hair

He looks into my eyes
I look back into his
My heart flies

He smiles at me
And kisses my cheek
I'm filled up with glee

He takes my hand
We begin to walk
We here music from a distant band

It's beginning to become light
Our time together is almost over
I'm filled with fright

He smiles and says goodbye
He walks away from me
I begin to cry

Our time is done
It's all over for me
That's it for all the fun

I'm now awake
Tears are rolling down my face
I begin to shake

It's over now
I'll get over this dream
I just don't know how

~* When Love Hurts *~

Have you ever cried so hard,
that you couldn't breathe,
have you ever had someone stab you in the back,
and laugh as they watch you bleed?
have you ever loved someone so much, but they never understood?
have you ever been abused for being bad,
when you were trying so hard to be good?
have you ever cried a billion tears,
asking God "why?",
and do you know how it feels to fall asleep at night,
wishing you would die?
have you ever had a man take your innocence, and throw it out the door?
and you live each day in fear,
wondering if he'll come back for more...
have you ever had a girl threaten to take your life,
and you try not to show your fear,
but it hurts too bad to hide?
have you ever been thrown against a wall, with a gun held to your head?
and those words whispered in your ear that say,
if you fight me you'll be dead...
have you ever thought you could trust someone, but they just throw you around,
and you try so hard to hold back the tears, as you hit the ground?
have you ever watched your sister lie in front of you,
and slowly fade away?
and you're just too young to understand, she won't be there the next day?
have you ever watched your best friend get shot, outside your favorite store?
have you ever overdosed on drugs,
because you just couldn't take anymore?
do you really know what it feels like,
to have your heart get burned?
have you ever left your house,
unsure if you'll return?
have you ever looked to the stars at night,
and prayed for the pain to end?
begging please just take it away,
and the next day you feel it again?
have you ever been so far away,
from the only one you ever loved?
but she tells you just hold on,
and you love her too much, you just can't give up?
have you ever told yourself to hold on,
please don't fall apart?
have you ever really listened,
to a young girl's broken heart?
do yo know how hard it is,
for me to face another day?
if you don't then tell me why,
you treat me this way?
have yo ever felt the pain i have,
do you know how i feel?
have yo ever thought about your past,
and just wished it wasn't real?
have you ever been face to face with rape,
and you can't pull away?
do you know how it feels when you can't move,
you just let him have his way?
and you can't think, can't even breathe,
don't even get a chance to fight,
and everytime you think about that night,
all you wanna do is cry...
have you ever watched your mom,
fall farther and farther away from your kiss?
and you wonder why it had to be her,
why is life like this?
have you ever screamed for help,
wishing someone would hear?
but no one hears your cries,
no one sees your tears...
have you ever been through,
all the things i've been through?
if you haven't then tell me why,
you treat me like you do...

GOOD SO FAR!!!!

A LOST SOUL
************
THIS IS A REAL STORY FROM OUR REAL LIFE
OF MEN AND WOMEN WHO FOUGHT TO SURVIVE
OF A MAN AND A WOMAN WHO LOVED SO HARD
OF COUNTRIES AND CITIES EXIST IN THIS WORLD
****************************
IT'S LIKE A JOKE WHEN YOU SEE HOW LIFE IS IRONIC
COUNTRIES FALL WHILE OTHERS GROW IN THE SPEED OF A SUPERSONIC
JUST LIKE THAT LOVE WE KNOW FROM THE FIRST SIGHT
WHEN IT HITS THE HEART THERE IS NO WHERE TO RUN , THERE IS NO WHERE TO HIDE
****************************
THEY WERE YOUNG LIKE ANGELS LIVING THEIR LIFE
WITH DREAMS AND HOPES TO BECOME WHAT THEY LIKE
THEIR LIFE THEN WAS SO PURE FILLED WITH HAPPINESS
THEY NEVER FELT TOGETHER THE TASTE OF LONELINESS
****************************
YEARS AND YEARS HAS PASSED THEM BY
AND THEIR LOVE STILL GROW NO MATTER WHAT THEY TRY
TO STOP THEIR FEELINGS WAS REALLY IMPOSSIBLE
EVEN DEATH CAN'T MAKE THEM UNREACHABLE
****************************
THEY GREW UP AND BECAME WOMAN AND MAN
AND THEY STARTED TO BUILD THEIR FUTURE HAND BY HAND
BUT LIFE ISN'T ALWAYS SHINNING AND BRIGHT
IT ALSO HAS A DARK SIDE CALLED NIGHT
****************************
SUDDENLY THEIR COUNTRY WAS UNDER ATTACK
BY A NATION WHOSE HEART WAS COLORED WITH BLACK
THEY BETRAYED ALL THE PEACE PROMISED BY THEM
AND CHANGED THEIR VIEW FROM LIGHT TO SHADOWED DIM
****************************
HE HAD TO LEAVE HER TO JOIN THE ARMY
TO SERVE HIS COUNTRY AND FIGHT FOR VICTORY
SHE WAS AFRAID , SHE WILL NEVER SEE HIS FACE
WHICH ONE DAY WAS FILLED WITH HAPPINESS BUT NOW PAIN AND DISGRACE
****************************
ON THE DAY HE WAS LEAVING HE GAVE HER A BIG HUG
AS SHE WAS KISSING HIM AND WISHING HIM THE BEST OF LUCK
HER HEART WAS TORN APART WITH SO MUCH PAIN
WITH A FLOOD OF TEARS MIXED WITH THE DROPS OF THE COLD RAIN
****************************
SHE LOOKED AROUND AND WONDERED WHY LIFE IS CRUEL ?!!
WHY DESTINY MUST HAPPEN , WHY WE CAN'T OVERRULE??!!
BUT SOMETHING IN HER HEART TOLD HER TO BE STRONG
CAUSE THE LOVE OF HER LIFE WON'T BE AWAY FOR SO LONG.

4 DAYS LEEEEFFFTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GREAT SO FAR BUT I NEED MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How the Past is Never Forgotten

We always talked as friends,
Flirted as lovers, but
Your girlfriend didn't know
The difference.
Time went by, we grew apart.
You graduated, started working.
My next year in class was lonely,
For I didn't have you by my side.
We didn't play ball anymore,
We didn't see each other at school.
I moved so we didn't live in
The same town, I couldn't run
Into you while you were at work.
Time went by, I'd forgotten
About you. Friends and I
Went to have a good time
Forget about our problems.
But when we ran into you
It brought back so many memories.
We sat in the front row,
Just to sit together.
You kept flirting with me, I
Was thinking of old times.
But just like the past
You never knew how I
Felt about you.

Disease
by Dean Rands

It tears me apart to say the words
To think the truth for just a second
Because then it's real - not a lie
And I'll have no choice but to forever cry

But still it's something I must face
And I must fight - win or lose
Because it's there - inside of me
Hidden in my skin - hard to see

I'm truly scared of what could be
Of what lurks beneath my skin
It may be hard for you to know
Thats because I cover it with a show

No one knew of my horrid secret
The thing I dreaded most
And then you appeared - came along
And spoke to me with hope's song

The lyrics came so loud and clear
Hold on, be strong, have hope
For that reason I trusted you
And that trust just grew and grew

I dont know where to next or if
This battle I will win
But you're here to keep me strong
And forever remind me or hope's song

I've said before how scared I am
How hope is hard for me to keep
But this I'll face just for you
My friend, my hero - It's true

I hear the clock as it slowly ticks
Shows me how time goes by
So not a minute should we waste
Let's get this over with - post haste

And if the news is really bad
I won't cry or break down
I'll fight it all the way
So next time I can save YOUR day

"Hope"

Why won`t they accept
The fact that I`m not she
The little girl
I used to be

That shy young girl
With a voice so small
Never said a word
But her smile said it all

The little girl
That stayed so tough
She never cried
When things got rough

The little girl
Who belongs to my past
The little girl
They said grew up so fast

As time went by
And life got bad
She felt she lost
The smile she had

She felt all alone
On her pillow she cried
Because apart of her
She knew had died

Soon her emotions
To much to take in
So she painted her wrists
With suicides sin

She almost gave up
Until one founding day
Her angel appeared
And convinced her to stay

He gave her the hope
She needed to find
He gave her the love
So sweet and so kind

I can`t thank him enough
For loving me the way that he does
For being the hope
That nobody else was.

i want to post a poem but it won't fit on the thing it will only post the majority

*what do you want me to do????*

A KISS OF DEATH COMES WITH TIME
by Just-take-my-heart-i-want-you-to-have-it

Once upon a time
I think it once was
How i miss that time
It was fall of innocence and wonder

In this time we share
The thoughts and love grows
How I wish you could stay
But it is not time for me to kill

Now time away calls
Into my deep sleep
My mind insecure falls
Words never to make a peep

In my deep dark sleep
I dream, I dream of that
Time with you as my keep
And you longed for my kiss

The kiss, as you said,
Was a kiss of love.
But my kiss wasn't one of love
But one of death.

You with your kiss
Came to make me yours
You took me and bound me
Forever kept as yours

Kiss me as I look at you
When you reach me
Time will stand still
We live on together

Together you and me
Forever just to be
Now let's believe
That together we can be free

Free just like we use to be
Your kiss that steals my breath
You try to see what is in me
I hide what I really long to say

Hiding the pain
The kiss that I gave
To the one I love
But oh how the one I love is dead.

A pain that was hid
A kiss for whom that died
A cage that I was placed in
A cage forged by pain and locked with a kiss

I sealed the cage you're in
But only your pain can open it
With your raging pain and anger
The lock will open releasing you

But my pain of iron
Sinking deep in my skin
Burning, Churning, Turning
My life is close to fin

I fear this cage of iron
Why my love did you die
I long to feel love again
I want to get out of pain

Pain, for the one I loved
Pain, to love again
I love too less but to love again
One like you

You kept me in pain
You did not know
A pain that will come again
A pain that won't go

Some where in time
I lost you in your cage
I had it sealed with a kiss of innocence
Release me with your rage

Fickle fat decides it so
So with the wind I must go
Away with water I do flow
Your kiss with parting it goes

This pain like cold fire
I long for this hard desire
My loving one is dead
How can I follow this path

The path that's set before me
Is one so hard to follow
I can't ever be able to see
One so lovely as you

I will sing sweet beauty
For I will go
Forever without you
I will always miss you

I want you to stay
You leave me and I cry
For if you leave my you will die
And die you will for i will kill thee

Your blood on my hands
Forever shall be
Pour it into cans
Psycho be free

AHHHH I run from the
Mirror for I can't look
There any more I try
To fly but I just fall

To be one like you
All my flaws and faults
Oh why can't I be perfect
The mirror shows the true me

Forever I will go
Far away from you
Death will come
Far away from you

Away from you I flee
But inside you're with me
Join my pain and hurt yourself
You should die but I will instead

Blade to wrist
Collect my thoughts
Slice then wait
For all I've wrought

I wish to die
I want to fly
I call to you
So may I fall

Into utter darkness
I fall
Being called and never
To return
GOODBYE

*never mind to the above post*
*last time i tried to post it and it wouldn't display it*
*this is a group poem so if you don't want to judge it with the others that is fine*

Behind Closed Doors
by Lil_poetry

As I sit and reminisce about the year when I was just nine I instantly go back to the point in my life when my innocence was no longer mine

An older family member of mine, was my baby-sitter each day
Known as the only little girl in my family at the time, I was only nine years old, I swore to him this story would never be told
There is no way to evade the past so now I put my fears aside and finally I have something to say

The touch of his hand made me want to die
The sound of his voice made my nights full of endless cries
He would say dont worry just be quiet and sit
But deep down I knew he was full of s***
He constantly kept me traumatized as a child
He always had a way of convincing others that I was a strategic liar
Scared to death to tell anyone I just nodded and smiled

I couldnt understand how, why he would force me drop to my knees I would beg and plead for him to let me go constantly crying please
Each time hoping to GOD someone would open that door to the room filled with such painful encounters
But it seemed as if no one else existed in the world just his devious ways, my countless resistances and my persistent prays
He would force me to provide him with orgasmic pleasures
And would punish me when I wouldnt fulfill his sexual measures

I would go home each day feeling like trash from the bite marks on my breasts to the point of me feeling depressed
He made me believe that no one cared about me from comments like Whos going to listen to you, you are just a dumb little girl who lies Deep down I questioned what if I tell someone that he is touching me in inappropriate places from my non-developed breast, to my sensitive vagina, to my inner thighs. They are going to think I am exaggerating. I thought.

I wish I knew that he was just manipulating my mind and soul. But how could I handle this at just nine years old. For years I have felt like I should be punished for this unforgivable sin.

Its eight years later and I question how he sleeps at night, knowing that he molested his baby cousin when she was only nine and he was thirteen.
So what do you do when no one knows of this terrible ordeal that took place 8 years ago? Till this day I am still carrying the burden of what goes on behind closed doors, one day I pray that this door will somehow vanish

Wilted

Glazed with sunlight and hung out to dry,
The hills green blade's begin to dance,
The miracles of life spread their wings to fly,
The smile engraved into your eyes left in a trance,

The sparkle of beauty tingles over her skin,
The traces of existence entwined in the tide,
The layers of thought never to sin,
Nobody shall ever see inside,

Whats hidden inside the doors of glass,
The surprise is yet to come,
The meadows of the swaying grass,
The raging fire and weight across they begin to strum,

The peace and harmony wilts between her teeth,
Calling of the rage belows across the peak,
The lillies petals falling along a sacride sheath,
My happiness left for minds to speak.....

~Wings~
thank you

The fight that changed 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

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 DAY LEFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Life Through You" by Matters

Colors fade into the web,
As all the dreams and hopes will ebb,
What’s set upon the bank of worry,
Is set upon the bank of fury.

Weaving close, tight to knit,
Doused with flame relied on wit,
If nothing else but dark can win,
Then what is there to douse the sin?

As the needle, along the flow,
Is timed to over under go,
And like the wind throughout the trees,
It never stops to hear her pleas.

So fade along the balanced plight,
To hear the arrogance of night,
And if you let the colors die,
More uncovers than a lie.

Barricade the blacks and grays,
Purify the life you’ve made,
To signify the blood you’ve bled,
Dye the weft and warp blood red.

If blues and greens, elusive sound,
Are broken out and laid on ground,
And all the hues of richest gold,
Will die and watch their corners fold.

Transfer what the warp has left,
Take the threads off charring weft,
Burn and scorch the time to be,
To prove what not remains of me.

Take the ashes thrown away,
And take them down a street one way,
For they are not the worthy souls,
Of what has happened to my whole.

Take the stains upon your hand,
And listen now, you’ll understand,
For what is left is left to have,
And make my rid being live somehow.

Of all the scars for memory,
Become my brand name legacy,
Mold my face, my mouth, my ears,
Sculpt my nose to fight your fears.

Complete my features, all but one,
For these are what can see the sun,
What love can see and not can lies,
Leave my face with all but eyes.

And with my eyes, use your gift,
Your power to the ashes sift,
Take them, listen, make them real,
Make them my emotions feel.

Add in flecks of gold and black,
All but pupils, which I lack,
Blues and greens and whites and reds,
Bring in life into the dead.

Once you make me my own eyes,
Give me strength to realize,
For I am you, created by,
More than ashes in the sky.

For with my eyes, I will see,
More than just a life, my free,
I will see through every soul,
And this will make my being whole.

I have lived through someone else,
And they made what I made myself,
And through this time, I know I prove,
I achieved my life from you.
