    17) Asleep
    As I slowly drift asleep,
    I begin to cry and weep,
    I cant stop the feeling inside,
    I wish I could hide.

    Hide from the troubles of love,
    I want comfort from above.
    I am slowly loosing my mind,
    I cant leave you behind

    I’ve drifted asleep,
    Memories inside I’ll keep,
    You touched my heart,
    Now I’m falling apart.

    Here asleep I lay,
    What can I say?
    I love you forever,
    I want us to be together.

    #15 Stuck

    Dont get stuck
    In things of the past
    Your headed for the future
    Not the things you did last

    Always remember that
    And have hope for tomorrow
    There's always a better day
    Thats not filled with hurt and sorrow

    Dont get stuck
    In someone else's life
    Live how you want to live
    Dont go to the knife

    Just think about all this
    Before you say im wrong
    Cause maybe you'll say
    She knew all along

    ~He Couldn't Bear To Watch (22)~

    High school friends will come and go,
    some you'll forget, some you won't know.
    Some will do things that are clearly insane,
    others do drugs, and ruin their brain.

    I see kids fall off on a regular basis,
    get caught doing drugs and fall flat on their faces.
    It's a sad cycle, that were all subject to,
    Luckily, I don't do what other kids do.

    I saw a kid in the office, just the other day.
    He was fear stricken, with nothing to say.
    I looked deep into the office, where I could see,
    a body laying, as dead as could be.

    Then I saw the boy's mom, standing still,
    She didn't know her son had the power to kill.
    As the woman stood there, I heard a loud cry.
    It was the mother of the little boy, who had died.

    The young man in the office, with fear in his eyes,
    started to cry, but not by surprise.
    He had smoked pot, before driving to school,
    top down convertible, he thought he was cool.

    Well, he was, until he heard a scream,
    to his surprise, it was worse than it seemed.
    He jumped out of the car and ran to the boy,
    remembering the saying, a car's not a toy.

    By the time he was within five feet of the child,
    he was filled with fear, emotionally riled.
    The rest of his life, on the line,
    maybe the boy would be fine, just this time.

    But, to his demise, the boy wasn't okay,
    he stood there still, with nothing to say.
    After a few minutes, he ran into school,
    leaving the boy in a blood red pool.

    He didn't know what he should do,
    ran into the office, right into my view.
    As soon as I saw him I knew it was bad,
    an expression of guilt, nothing but sad.

    Now, he is spending three years in prison,
    he got high, hit a kid, whose body has risen.
    He made his own bed, but don't feel bad for him,
    feel bad for the parents of that beautiful little kid.

    [21] She Looked In the Mirror.

    She looked in the mirror,
    Couldn't believe who she saw.
    The look in her teary eyes,
    She had never seen before.

    So much anger had built up,
    T'was just waiting to explode.
    And she yelled and screamed so loud,
    Finally her feelings showed.

    They had pushed all her buttons,
    They knew she'd finally break.
    Backed her into a corner,
    And then she started to shake.

    She couldn't take this anymore,
    Couldn't bottle up her feelings.
    Not sure of what to do now,
    Praying up at the ceiling.

    She lost control and let loose,
    Ran to the bathroom and cried.
    Smashed the mirror with her fist,
    Hoping soon she would have died.

    Hearing voices in her head,
    Telling her that she is weak.
    That she will not make it though,
    With tears rolling down her cheek.

    ..Yeah..It might not be good. But I wanted to use that first line cause it kinda reflected on something that happened today. Hope you like it?

    #12 Mr. Fix It

    He can fix that
    Someone broke her dolly
    But as she started to cry
    He said "Don't cry baby
    I can fix that"

    He can fix that
    Someone crashed into her car
    She wasn't hurt
    But the car was totaled
    He said "Don't worry baby
    I can fix that"

    He can fix that
    Someone stole everything she had
    Left her house empty
    Even the crumbs
    He said "We'll replace it baby
    I can fix that"

    He can fix that
    Someone broke her heart
    Left her alone at the alter,
    with some other women
    He said "It'll be okay baby
    I can fix that"

    He can fix that
    Someone stole her life
    For thirty bucks and a nickel
    In a rundown gas station, late one night
    He said "What am I going to do now baby
    I can fix that"

    He can fix that
    So he loaded his gun
    Cocked it and pulled it
    Now he's with her again
    He said "Anything else wrong baby?
    I can fix that"

    **In my opinion not my best, but I wrote it just for this & I like the idea of doing something different & not having every poem have to be about me. SO, its something new for me hope yall like it :)

    20) Darkside of the Moon

    The dew was like a giant puddle,
    In the morn as they depart,
    Moon kissed the sun goodbye,
    But with him he took her heart.

    I saw it with my own eyes,
    The sun shone through the light,
    He took her simple wishes,
    And turned stars into night,

    Just to show the world,
    The beauty of his love,
    Her light and her spirit,
    But she's gone like a dove,

    For the moon is suppressed to darkness,
    The sun is forced to reign,
    The time we are alive,
    With nothing left to gain,

    But until one moment,
    For a minute they are as one,
    We are submitted to the dark,
    So they are together, the moon and sun.

    # 10 Knock, Knock..
    by ..נєѕѕу..©

    On a warm summers day
    As a gentle breeze
    Sways the rows of stunning flowers
    And the golden rays of the sun
    Make everything glitter and shine
    There is a small sound
    Being repeated over and over
    Quite a normal sound
    That is disturbing the peace..

    Knock, knock..
    A girl with fluffy brown hair
    Answers her door
    Her glossy blue eyes look damaged
    And the smile on her face
    Is plastered there out of politeness..

    Dressed in a sparkly white suit
    Blonde hair spiked up
    A dazzling smile
    And bearing
    A bunch of blood red roses
    The man asks her for a date
    She smiles but waves him away..
    As this is not the one she wants
    Knocking on her door..

    Knock, Knock
    Next is a man
    Tall, dark, and incredibly handsome
    Are a few words that
    Describe him..
    He shows her the keys of his speedy sports car
    And invites her to join him
    She smiles but waves him away..
    As this is not the one she wants
    Knocking on her door..

    Knock, Knock
    Along comes a man
    He has jet black hair
    Electric blue eyes
    A mouth full of
    Amazingly white teeth
    And muscles big enough
    To pick her up and spin her
    Around and around and around
    He comes carrying a huge basket
    Of champagne..
    She smiles but waves him away..
    As this is not the one she wants
    Knocking on her door..

    Knock, Knock
    This time the man at the door
    Is not bearing any gifts,
    Nor wearing expensive clothes
    All that this man carries with him
    Is a smile full of love..
    And eyes that stare straight into her soul
    He moves closer
    And kisses her..
    Every inch of his heart and soul
    Flow into that kiss..

    And when they finally break away
    Her eyes,
    No longer damaged
    Sparkle with happiness and love
    That smile that was placed there to be polite
    Now cannot be removed..
    And that broken heart,
    Is now repaired and stronger than ever..
    And she is finally happy,
    As this is the one she wants
    Knocking on her door..

    I would like to reserve "Don't Look Now..."

  • Avrii Monrielle

    (2) Don't Look Now...

    Just don't look at me...
    You might find me with someone else
    That alone would break your heart
    And kill your soul....

    Don't look now
    You might see your best friend crying
    Blood on the wrists, drying up

    Don't open your eyes...
    You might see a loved one going
    That would slay you to the ground

    Shut them tight- don't try to see, whatever you do...
    The horrors are appearing in the sky
    A blanket covering us all, tucked in for the night

    Close your eyes, and rest your head on the pillow
    Feathers of angels piled inside
    Have innocent dreams, don't try to scream
    Goodnight...

    Wake up; it's passed
    Just another nightmare
    Open your eyes and smile
    Today's another day.

    13) Paper airplain

    The world is like a paper airplane,
    it goes up then comes crashing down,
    All because of hatred and arguement,
    People thinking their the worlds crown.

    Money seems to be the center of the world,
    when we all know that's just not right,
    A huge discussion comes up,
    and thats the airplains flight.

    Down it comes, and down we'll go,
    If we don't at least start to share.
    I can't understand, and I won't,
    Doesn't anyone want to care?

    4* Watch

    Watch the world go by,
    as you sit there getting high.

    Pass up good chances,
    just to go to dirty dances.

    Watch you life go down the drain,
    and never think about it again.

    Watch the sun rise and set,
    blow opporutinties, don't stress or fret.

    Waste your time, and don't care,
    don't give a sh!t, and never be there.

    Leave me to love you, but don't shed a tear,
    watch me grow up, but don't ever be here.

    See me when I'm four, then see me when I'm eight,
    Say you'll come at six, but make sure that you are late.

    Watch the birds fly,
    and watch you family die.

    Listen to my secrets, and ell them to the world,
    make sure that I can't trust you and treat me like I'm just another girl.

    Watch the world go by, but don't even care,
    you couldn't care less about everything, and that's not very fair.

    Watch the World go by
    Watch it drip from my hands
    Gaze upon it's cry
    Gaze upon it's wilting lands

    Driven by despair
    Chaos and torment takes it's toll
    Watch as darkness stare
    Into the world's empty souls

    I stare out my window
    Indulge in the night's calmness
    Taking a glance below
    I slip once again to loneliness

    A couple holding hands
    In envy I look away with tears
    The heart is the hardest to mend
    There's No One to hold me near

    I watch the world go by
    Was I not suppose to love
    Sighing, I gaze at the sky
    Still wishing for some hope above

    As I watch the world go by
    I am nothing but a bore
    Day by day I slowly die
    Till I am nothing more
