Without You, I'm Nothing

Part of me died
My heart stopped beating
Thoughts quit racing
Life lost its meaning

I think back to that time
That most horrific day
When I broke your heart
And threw our love away

You are far from me
Gone is our love which was true
I miss your soft touch
I miss my world that is you

Now I wake from slumber
Realizing it was all but a dream
I look around to find you
But the mirror reveals only me

I hope to find you now
Before your goodbye sings
I realize now I need you
Without you, Im nothing

Why is life so hard.

Thinking back on my life it makes me wanna cry.
But now i try and hold my head up high.
My dad treated us very badly.
How could he do what he did to his own family.
The marks on us may be gone.
But the memories we have are still strong.
All the times we would try to hide.
Until the day he committed suicide.
My mum pulled us through when we were sad.
And has even found us a excellent dad.
But now I'm an adult things still go wrong.
Why can't i just be strong.
I found a guy who made me happy.
We even started our own family.
But as the years went by.
All i wanted to do was cry.
I only want to be treated well.
Not like I'm living in hell.
Now it feels like there all out to get me.
I think I'm kind and loving why can't they all see.
Are all the guys out to hurt you?
thats how i feel thats for true.
I hope one day that one will see
That here i am to the best i can be.

By the way I changed my name to Wings of an Angel, so you don't misunderstand that its me judging.

What Makes The World Go Around?

by Tisha

What makes the world go around?
Is it money, the wealth and ritches you have found?
What makes the world go around?
Is it love, someone you love saying they love you to, is
it the precious sound?
What makes the world go around, is it money?
Or is it love someone saying I love you more than
anything else honey.
What makes the world go around, is it money in your pocket?
Or is it love, a picture with your love one beside
You in your locket?
What makes the world go around is it money, living
in a big fancy house?
Or is it love spending the rest of your life with
a loving spouse?
What makes the world go around, is it money driving
around a big fancy car?
What makes the world go around is it love, having
someone to lie beside you underneath the stars?
Money can by you all the ritches on this earth
But love and without love what is your life worth?

~Postpartum Deport~

A relationship bound by the court,
two parents yearning to abort.
One child's postpartum deport,
a life, from the start, out of sorts.

The help of two elders, they sought,
a custody battle, never fought.
Drug addict parents, got caught,
important lessons, never taught.

A baby that was left behind,
consequences of a legal bind.
A lifestyle of a different kind,
viewpoints from a distorted mind.

A family separated by years in time,
a life with a different rhythm and rhyme.
Two people, making up for another's crime,
always living off of their last dime.

A difficult situation from the start,
a unique picture, of an unpopular art.
A family, nearly torn apart,
two grandparents, certainly, off the charts.

An unwanted boy, now full grown,
held together by seams, left un-sewn.
Approaching life with a whole different tone,
hoping, some day, to live life on his own.

~Sean Dohr~

another heartbreak, another unrequited story, another unfinished dream. this poem is about how i loved this one girl in my class, and i told her, and she started ignoring me. then it hurt too much to even walk upto her and talk to her....i guess you'll never be able to completely understand how it feels when you love someone who loves someone else...but we two could convey it to each other in...
_________________________________________
Just A Glance
_________________________________________
Things were better previously
Each time you smiled mischievously
But now it just gets on your nerves
Why is this road plagued with so many curves?

Every time we walk past
Acting in the strangest ways
One look into your eyes
Is enough to ruin my day.

The doorway`s too small for two to pass
I step aside, gentlemen last
A frozen look into your eyes
Rekindles all those extinguished cries

I look at you and you look at me
Straight into those white eyes I see
So why do we just walk past each other?
Why do we pretend that we don`t bother?

Its only just a little glance
But its the pain of my unrequited romance
Then you look ahead and I look to the ground
As I walk past quick, without a sound

You look ahead and smile at Stuti
Oh that pretty smile is killing me
My smile fades away and I want to cry
But for now, I guess I`ll just walk by

I stop ahead, knees feeling weak
If I could only smile at you and speak
my mind goes blank, I cannot think
I may cry anytime now, I`m at the brink.

But every agonizing tear I cannot cry
Will be illusioned to be a twinkle in my eye
Now arm in arm, a couple stands before me
Why is it that all I have is your memory?

But I just have to see the silver line
That even if things will never be fine
The time I walk past you again
I`ll be a little more used to taking the pain

Starlight Night (Reprise)
by Italian Stallion

Starlight night
shining ever so bright
take my hand
by the calmness of the moonlight

As we walk
hand in hand
I ask you this
as you look at the stars

Will you be mine?
I know I've waited a long time
come with me
I have something to show

Sit here in the ever so soft
light of the night
look at the stars reflection on the water
as I seek you with this soft melody of mine

I glance at you
as you look at me
our eyes meet
and we can't separate

I start to play that soft melody of mine
as you sit and sip your wine
we start to intertwine

your warmth next to me
listening to the sea
I can't help but to agree
This is the place to be

you make me feel so right
on such a beautiful night
being here with you
is such a delight

As I turn to look you in the eyes
you say "you are not like all the other guys
that people speak of
you are one of a kind."

Well, I don't actually know which one is my best. I'm a little bit proud of my other ones aswell, but this is my newest - which means, at the moment, it's my favourite. So here goes:

And We'll Dance
By Stefhy

Stars of imagination, being reborn above
As the moonlight shines, where we will dance...To celebrate our love.

We sway in the winds,
And float atop clouds.
Only one heart beat heard,
It's our heartbeat now.
Caressing you tightly, embraced is your soul,
For it's yours that has always kept my own whole.

The smell, the warmth, the strength of your touch
(but even your strength, is delicate enough.)
A beauty so faithfully stuck in love's grasp
I pray to Forever, 'make tonight last'
But Forever replies, with memories reflection
As I remember that this, is imagination's deception.

So breathe in slowly,
And I'll open these eyes.
I'll breathe in slowly,
I don't want to cry.

Stars of imagination, will soon decay.
But under the moonlight, is where we'll stay.
This dream may be over, but love is our chance,
For in my heart forever, is where, together, we'll dance

A Final Prayer

By: Bryce

A slow rolling tear
Falling down his cheek
As he stood over her bed
he began to feel weak

He couldn't believe it
No way this was true
He couldn't live without her
He wouldn't know what to do

He dropped to his knees
At the head of her bed
Looked up to the ceiling
Crying he said,

"Why'd you do this god
Why'd you take her from me
I need her so much
Why can't you see

It can't end this way
No, she can't die
God please don't do this
I can't say goodbye

She can't go away
Not here, not now
I'll do anything to bring her back
Please just tell me how

Take the life from me
Take my heart and soul
God please bring her back
I don't care what the tole

Take the blood from my veins
The breathe from my chest
I don't care if I die
Just put me to rest

God please listen
The pain is to much to bare
Her life will end real soon
If at all you care"

He stopped speaking for a minute
As she layed there dying
The only sound to be heard
Was of the teenage boy's crying

His tears crashed to the floor
As he barely made a stand
He reached across her body
And held her hand-in-hand

As he wiped his eyes
He couldnt understand
Whyd this have to happen
Whyd it have to end?

He had one last thing to do
As he watched her lay
He had one last minute
One last thing to say

"I have one more thing to ask
a favor, God, from you
If you are going to take her
Can you please take me too?"

Again he fell to his knees
Not knowing what else to say
He held her hand tight
Not ready to give her away

But then he heard the monitor
Beep for the final time
And after that, all to be heard
Was the single flat line.

He let her hand go
And kissed her on the cheek
As more tears came to his eyes
He prayed they'd soon meet

Although she is in heaven
Past the clouds and above
They could deny him her body
But not their love

And when he gets to heaven
He will soon see
She will be waiting
To be together...Eternally

hmm i had a heard time picking, but i really like this one:

Story of A Friend Of Mine
By: ~*Who Cares?*~

Broken girl, empty heart and mind,
Wishes she couldn't see you, wanting to be blind.
Broken heart, best friend a razor,
Doesn't like herself, so she becomes a poser.

Bleeding wrists, from endless tears,
That have remolded her through the years.
Puffy cheeks, blood shot eyes,
All because of your lies.

Lost voice, cannot speak out,
Sometimes wants to, but is overcome with doubt.
Lost smiles, with so many fake laughs,
Her depression has left the graph.

Tears of blood, streak her face,
She gives up in this race!
Tears of loss, tears of sadness,
Thinking people couldn't really care less!

She goes off to die, alone and in pain,
At her funeral they state she wasn't sane.
She knows that she was, she just gave up with life,
So she used her friend Mr. Knife.

This is my favourite one of all time.

NEVER FAR AWAY

I saw the little girl pass by,
Her fathers hand she held,
In her grasp a tiny rose,
As on the past she dwelt.

Some people say she never knew,
Why they were there that day,
Or why some cried with saddened tears,
Nor why they dressed that way.

As they stood around the grave,
Roses held in hand,
The priest he said his holy prayer,
Together they did stand,

One by one they gave the flowers,
And said their last goodbyes,
Then walked away with broken hearts,
with tears swelled in their eyes.

The little girl, she was the last,
To bid her last farewell,
She dropped the rose into the hole,
Then on her knees she fell.

You can not go and leave us,
We'll be left here alone,
what happens when I've finished school,
And your not their at home.

Who is gonna brush my hair,
And plait it like you do,
You just cant turn away from us,
You know we all love you.

I want you to return to us,
I promise I'll be good,
I'll not give you cause to shout,
Again I'll not be rude.

Her father came now to her side,
And gently touched her face,
Your mum is so much happier,
She's gone now to a better place.

Its just not far now daddy,
God knows how much we cared,
All I have is memories,
Of happy times we shared.

I know it hurts my child,
But she hasn't gone away,
She's just a little further now,
But by our sides she'll stay.

They walked away together,
As I stood watching near,
My husband and my daughter,
The ones I loved so dear.

Take care, Lis

This is not goodbye
by Tabby

Crying by his bedside my tears flow endlessly
I held his hand so tightly never wanting to let go
Trying to not think about what is about to be
I look up at him trying to not let my sadness show

His eyes are closed his breathing is slow and heavy
I run my hands through his thick, dark, brown hair
His handsome face is so pale with the color gray
That I begin to cry even harder thinking it isn't fair

Sickness is taking my true love away from me
Draining away his energy happiness and light
But not stealing our love away from each other
That is the one thing that he was able to fight

His eyes slowly open and he turns toward me
He smiles a weak smile and touches my cheek
I feel myself breakdown and burst into sobs
trying to say don't die but I could no longer speak

he grabs my hand and pulls me to him
reaching for my face he brings me into a kiss
then he hugs me with such a weak embrace
I hug him so tight never wanting to end this

Suddenly he lets go I pull myself slowly up
He looks at me with such sadness in his eyes
"I love you sweetheart"he says to me
"I love you but there will be no goodbyes"

"I love you to" I sob into his shoulder
I lay on his chest hearing his heart as I cry
I feel his breathing slowly fade away
As i sob to myself I say "its ok this is not goodbye".....

Awesome poem Bryce :)

not my best written, i dont think, but def my fave:

A female knight hides in the night
to keep herself from detection
sword by her side, ready to fight
she waits for her secret lover

the moon's rays fall on the oak while
a female knight hides in the night
glittering fairy dust surrounds the sight
the scent of jasmine blesses the air

the lady breathes deep and glances about,
leaves whisper and twigs crack as
a female knight hides in the night.
a young man thief steps in the moons light

obsidian hair and envy's eyes stolen
comes up close and steals the lady's sword
and with her lover's kisses and held by arms
a female knight hides in the night

oopps double post

Barbie doll shoes
by Wax Kalling

Barbie doll shoes
fallen behind the shelf
clippings of blonde synthetic
plastic hair
scattered memories
still here
reminders of what was
who I used to be

reaching out is tiresome
when no one wants you
to reach them
loved by all the wrong people
hated
feared by the rest

best friends
were Barbie and Ken
My Little Pony
Cabbage Patch Kids
and Care Bears

who do you talk to
when only your
stuffed animals care

acting out and instigating
brought Hell on myself
to prove that I exist

I was hurting
confused
from years of abuse
angry and sad
manic-depressive reactions
tearing off dolly's heads
to relieve stress
because no one would listen
everyone just had an opinion

all I ever wanted
was some one to say
"I understand"

all I need is a friend.

wait..u didnt say how many poems were gunna b entered b4 u close it or how long the time limit is..n now im curious

The Military Man

Too much seen through cloudy eyes,
Of which I should never myself see.
Entwined sadness roping your heart.
I can not stop what continues to bleed.
—Hands frozen but blood red stained.

Too many prayers thrown to the Lord,
Of which I should never myself listen.
I, Myself remain an eagar voice unheard.
But shaking hands dare not hold my own.
—Defences built so heart can not tumble.

Too many secrets locked in an enchanted box,
Of which I should never myself hold the key.
For never should I pick the lock you have made.
I can not force you to reveal what you refuse.
—Weaken those lies you have been told.

Too many things I can not understand,
Yet the world you reside within makes sense.
What you consider to be a band of brothers,
Makes me break down when you have gone.
—But forever you remain a military man.

To Bobby, wyoming national guard.
I'll probably never understand completely but that doesn't mean I can't try.

Truth is...
by J. Lau

I used to think
That I can control,
The feelings I had for you
And the thoughts of being with you.

I kept my distance,
I held my stance.
I treasure the friendships,
And I wished you both happiness.

I knew that it will not
Be an easy path,
But it turns out to be much rougher
Then I could ever imagine.
Cause deep down,
It hurts like crazy.

Truth is...
I cannot hold my feelings back
And ignore its existence.
I cannot pretend l am not jealous,
That I'm not the one by your side.

Truth is...
I cannot ignore the pain anymore,
When comforting you when you fall.
I cannot stand seeing you being hurt over and over again,
And there's nothing more I can do.

Truth is...
I'm not being truthful and fair to myself,
Cause it hurts so much inside each time you cry.
I cannot leave this wound open,
And not distance myself to let it heal.

Truth is...
I had feelings for you ever since the day we met,
And it only grew deeper as time past.
I know that I should not feel this way,
But I can't help myself thinking of you each day.

Truth is...
I was sure that you were the one,
ever since we met again that day,
Around the end of June.

I don't know what to do anymore,
My logic is overwhemled by my emotions.
I still wish that everything will work out,
Between you and him.
But if one day in the years to come,
That fate finally grant me the chance.
I wish that we will be together,
Forever less a day...

For that is the day,
I wanted you to know...
How I truly felt ... about YOU.

A childs pain.. by Meaghen

He wakes up thinking maybe today
will be the day everything will be alright
but soon he'll realize he'll be
crying thosse lonely tears tonight

As screams ring in his ears
and cuts run down his arms
he tries to be ok
trying to act like he doesnt know about lifes harms

only a boy of 5 years old
should never know this pain
but he does
as pain shoots threw every vein

Never knowing any different
from fights and tears
never knowing what its like
to live without all these fears

all he hears is "your not good enough"
and "why are you here"
thosse are the times he prays
he could just disappear

One last hit
thats all he could take
He'd be doing them a favor
he was just a mistake

Thats the night
that god took him for his own
He'd never feel anymore pain
He'd always be with him sitting beside the golden throne..

My soul has been destroyed..
by ..נєѕѕу..©

My soul
Has been destroyed
Ripped,
Thrown down,
And stepped on
You looked at me
With those hateful eyes
And said
I am sorry,
But I just
Dont love you anymore..

These words
These 10 words
Are what killed me
Are what destroyed me
And you say them
Without a second glance..

I felt more pain
Than you could ever imagine
I felt so much
That I did not know
What to do..

So I picked up a knife
My tearful reflection
Shined in the evil blade

I started carefully at first
Watching the scarlet blood
Run from my veins
And drip silently to the floor

But the pain still
Drowned my soul
So the next time I put it in deeper
Deeper and deeper
Into my pale flesh..

The pain suddenly stopped
And I fell to the ground
As I laid there
My body became
Enveloped in a huge
Pool of blood
And as the last drop
Fell from my unmoving body
I was finally free.. _____________________________

She'll Never Know

His hands so tightly grip her as she stumbles to the ground
Overbearingly he hits her, almost taunting those around
So many times its happened, yet so many times ignored
The price she'd paid so many times she could now no longer afford
Battered, bruised, and broken, she lay in a bed of tears
A complexity of angers, and the torment of fears
When theres no place left to turn, no one to hear her subtle cry
She'll find no tranquil replacement for the answers known as why
And she'll end so quickly what she wishes had never began
Leaving me here thinking how could i really have been her friend
But now in this regretful moment, I'll watch her in her pain
Refraining from impeding, feeling best if I abstain
So instead of life, embracing, soon she'll choose to let it go
As I'm ready to give to her the comfort that she'll never know

Daniel Mulvany

Wired Skin of Drinking Straws

Asbestos eyes and death breathe mist
The midgets gazed and hissers hissed
With craned up necks and speckled flecks
Of the frayed edged parchment of the hex

Her nose was upturned slightly with an air
Of snobbery, carried with out a care
For she was dainty as a whore
With wired skin of drinking straws

She once carried dresses of stiff polka dots
And travelled to Paris with her book of snapshots
Her hair would rustle and her washing line dance
With odd socks and vests and underpants

But once a man, with a pasted moustache
Kissed her and caressed her preened eyelash
And it was like she was spinning around and around
As if she was squealing without making a sound

Her lily was strangled her youth taken too fast
She tried to ignore the hex of her past
But the rain came and the concrete heaved
Past stained tissues and snot filled sleeves

Asbestos eyes and death breathe mist
The midgets still gaze and hisser still hiss
With craned up necks and fleckled specks
Of the frayed edged parchment of the hex

Even though I entered the contest, I want Final Prayer to win

In The Helms of A Madman
by Max Irvine

Lying in bed as the tears creep near,
Losing my life is not what I fear.
But losing the game at which I have played.
My garments are worn, my sorrow is frayed.

Still as I sleep my sensations stab me,
But inside I know that my demons will grab me.
Only by you do I see by the light.
By candle of something in all of the spite.

The dark overwhelms like cloaking the shadow.
Too late for me, the blood looking narrow.
For naught is my blood but the blood of another,
Yet though no death, I still need to cover.

Violently striking does fatigue grow higher.
The heat in my head as hot as a fire.
The lead in my hands not slowing my pace.
I move in the dark to cover my face.

Although Iâ??m in hiding my face does appear.
At every street corner on parchment does leer.
Underneath streets is my very distraction.
By nightmares and dreams are my only reactions.

I no longer feel, no longer have care.
But search every face with a lingering stare.
No matter the reason on stone and on light.
I search for my place in the middle of the fight.

My time here is done, and my life dwindles slowly.
Life on the line, it depends on it solely.
As brightness fades fast, and blackness ensnares
My eyes tear of you, the last drop of your cares.

Good night kiss
by Silhouette, of something unimaginable

She looks at him
just lying there
slow, deep breaths
of his deep slumber
she remembers the day they met
he wore a bright blue shirt,
her favorite color,
her in a red satin gown
their eyes met
sparks flew,
he asked her to dance
she would never turn him down
gliding through the ballroom
looking into each other's eyes
everyone else vanished
it was just them two
the magic came to an end
with the coming of the night
off they went to be alone
they sat in the courtyard
and there was where they fell in love
now they must retire to their homes
but before they leave
one amazing good night kiss
stirring in his sleep
he looks at her with loving eyes
and whispers "i love you"
kissing his forehead
she whispers "i love you, too"

My Unbeatable faith...

As i find myself surrounded by troubles,
happiness doesn't seems to be more than bubbles,
I close my eyes and call my God- by heart,
HE appears in front of me as soon as i start.

When i do not find any shoulder to cry upon,
I join my hands and kneel down in front of -
the only listener of my grief,
in front of whom i can regret, i can weep.

Every drop of my tears rolling down my cheek,
cries and shouts for the help and ease,
Again i close my eyes and recall HIM,
to forgive my mistakes and forgive my sins.

I own unbeatable faith and trust in my almighty god,
i have the unchallenged confidence and belief in my lord,
I know HE is standing right next to me,
whether i am able to see or not able to see.

The presence of God is a thing to feel,
all sorrows, all wounds HE can heal,
no tangible structure it occupies,
but its just the faith and in our heart HE lies.

If you believe HIM, HE runs down your veins,
if you dont, HE is the only cause for your pains,
remembering him in grief is what we all do,
but recalling him in joys too is what HE expects us to do.

***yeah! 'the Final prayer' is worth winning....its just a masterpiece.......gr8 job!***

2 to go

Oh Fisherman
By Melissa

I am in stupid love,
a fish out of water
caught by a slimy worm.

Hooked by hunger
and evidently truth,
but this bowl is far too real
to swallow.

My freedom was stolen
and he just laughs
as I swim around
in ridiculous circles,
searching for a knob-less door.

My voice gurgles as I ask him,
Oh simple-minded fisherman,
why'd you go and snag me like that
and what did you keep me for?

one more!!!

OK it says one more so im posting this...I hope im not to late :D..

~Thy eyes glisten in the moon light~

Thy eyes glisten in the moon light
Shalt I hold thee in my sway?
Kiss thy tender lips
And smile as thou
Touch my skin.
Dost thou dare to take me in?
Hold me closer
Under the stars,
Bring thyself
Down on me
Protect me from
All of my enemies.
A gentleman you are
So caring to me
Wilt thou whisper in
My ear and ask me
To be with Ye to
The end of thy years?
How thy eyes glisten in
The moon light
No sun shall break this night.

Why?

The pain and suffering that burns through my heart
I just cant take it when were apart
When you told me that we were threw
I knew then there was nothing that I could do

It tore my heart into a million pieces
This feeling that your heart releases
I cant take it anymore I want to die
I raise up the knife as I start to cry

The knife is sharp against my wrist
I know now that I wont be missed
As blood from my veins start to burst
I think about how you were my first

I sat your picture next to the letter
That says how things just couldnt get better
One more slice and all my veins are cut
Here it goes now my eyes are shut

When they found me in the puddle of red
They knew then that I was dead

ok so now thats every1 plus 1 extra RITE?!:)

Hey i just wanted to say that i though Final Prayer was an excellent poem!! Best here!! 10/5!!!

I think some of these were good....
