[16] Left Behind

All I have left of you,
Is the memories we shared,
The good times we had,
When you were still here.

I remember the night,
The night we first met,
We looked into each others eyes,
And love is what we found.

I thought I would be with you,
Forever till the end,
Right by each others side,
But then you left me behind.

I'm not sure if you really loved me,
Like you always said you did,
I think you were just lying,
Never really cared about me.

- Kristina M

The Last Dance
By: ~*Who Cares?*~ Erika

He takes her hand in his, as he pulled her to him,
They turn down the music, as the lights they dim.
They dance as one, as he whispers in her ear,
"Baby, I love you, with me have no fear.

You know you are my everything"
She replied "I know, that's why I wear this ring!"
As the song comes to an end, they see only they remain,
As the faces around them are different, nothing around is the same.

She's a little freaked out, but remains by her love,
As the two of them float high and above-
everyone else. As everyone looks and points,
As the two lovers bodies conjoint.

She wakes from her dream, as a tear falls down,
For she knows that her lover, is deep under ground.
He died for her, and now must live with the guilt,
As she lays bundled up, in his grandma's quilt.

That was their last dance, when they became prom queen and king,
The ring she wore, was their wedding ring.
However, on the way home, as he walked her to the door,
Some bum asked for money, pointed a gun, and asked for more.

They gave all they had, only the ring remained,
He said, "give it to me", as he itched his tangled mane.
The man in love, said, "no you have enough!
I'd rather you shoot me, I can take it I'm tough."

The bum followed his command, and shot him in the heart,
The reason why the two lovers are now apart.
The last dance, their last chance for love,
As a tear comes from her eye, as she stares at the ceiling above.

---Hope This is ok, if not send me a private message----

Don't worry about this post, Sorry.

ok thats fine :)

#9 My hiding place..

As I hear the car
Roar into the drive
I start to weep
I try desperately to stop
But the fear
Flowing from my eyes
Is uncontrollable..

He slams open the door
And yells fiercely at mommy
His words sound funny
And I know he has
Had way too much to drink
I curl my little fingers into fists
And beg myself to stop crying..

I know that if he finds me
I will be in for another beating..
So I scramble under my bed
And sit as still as can be..
This is my sanctuary,
My hiding place..

He storms up the stairs
And shoves open the door
He calls my name
In a haunting tone
Calling me, mocking me..

And then his face appears
That terrifying face
That has so many times
Beaten me until I was black and blue..

His pupils are whirling around
In his crazy eyes
And his face is a stunning purple
He grabs my delicate wrist
And pulls me out..

No, daddy, please?
I wail, frozen with fear..
My mother runs in
And screams at him once more
Leave her alone!
Don’t you dare touch her!

He turns round and hits her
A strong hard blow
And she falls to the floor
With a heavy thump..

Then he turns back to look at me
His eyes flaming with anger..
He picks me up and hurls
Me against the wall..
The sharp noise of
Breaking bones
Fills the room
He kicks my tiny body
And leaves me lying there,
Under my bed,
My sanctuary,
My hiding place..

3] Born To Rock

This young boy, becoming a man,
Thinking of what the future will bring.
He knows what he wants to, but are afraid to tell,
In his band he wants to sing.

The band praktice all day long,
They are truning out very good,
There are a bass, two guitars,
and a drummer from the hood.

Everyone in the band,
loves the thing they do,
They decided to stick together forever,
They try for real and true.

But this boy, who is singing clear,
He is not allowed,
His parents think its just no good,
to be rocking for a crowd.

But this boy will not listen,
He will walk his own way,
He knows that he is born to rock.
...guess where he is today?

You did a great job wings of an angel!!!

5-Rebel Angels

There's danger straight ahead
They know they should go back
But they ignore the signs instead

"That woman's strict you shouldn't push it"
Their instict says to follow the rules
But this ciggarettes been lit
And there's some things they just can't quit

These Rebel Angels

Flying into trees
Instead of soaring steadily
Bringing the worst of men to their knees
Making old habits available quite readily

I flew with them at one time
I knew their stories
I participated in their crime

But these things you cannot hide
And the name will follow you your whole life
So take old pain in stride
And discard all evidence, that dirty knife

Recognize the time
When living life meant playing by your own rules
When descriptions didn't rhyme

That Angel is a Rebel
There's a group of them who meet after school
And they can always recognize a fool

OMG there is Harry Potter -does evil laugh- I am soooooo going to do that, I am wearing a Muggle shirt right now lol. Harry Potter is mine!!!!! :D

Please reserve the lady and the unicorn.

The Lady and The Unicorn (18)

A girl with lonely eyes
Starts reading the book
She readily sighs
Her emotions shook

A woman with long, untamed, hip-length hair
Draped in a transparent cloth, skin superbly fair
Her eyes determined and brave
An attack to drive those to the grave

Tiredly she walks, not wanting to hurt her friend's back
Her friend, the unicorn, cheers her up when she's sad
White as snow, with angels wings, to fly high in the sky
A crystal horn to make the truly evil cry

The lady has blood running up her beautiful body
Cuts, scrapes and wounds that felt so haunting
Yet she dared not to go upon her friend's back
For her unicorn was hurt far worse

The magical being from long, long ago
Just and fair, pure as snow
Is covered in reds and copper browns
From the pain others dug below

The two edge a cliff and look around
They see nature's beauties, more than you can count
Smiling, they head home - underneath, ground crumbles
They float right past, don't even stumble

"The next day will be even better," the girl thinks
Closing the book, you can see the pictures blink
For it is the tale
Of the lady and the unicorn

~Harry Potter~

I feel some magic in the night
No worries or woes
Will bother me at all.
Hold up a stick
And pretend it’s a wand
Let me be just like
Harry Potter.

Disappear all the clouds
Bring out the stars,
Say the magic words
And put a spell
On my enemies.
Make them do
A funny jig
Or sing a funny song
Make them
Pick their nose
Or make them chew
A dog’s bone.

I want to be
Just like Harry Potter,
I can do with out
The lightning scar.
Ride a broom
Around the town or
Hop on a dragon
And bring flames
Into the night.

I want to look down
And see Unicorns gallop,
I want to wave to the giants
As I fly by the mountains.

I am done being a muggle
I want to have powers,
I want to be just like
Harry Potter
And bring magic in the night.

OooHh you all did very well!!! great job guys!

Where The Red Fern Grows

There was a tale long ago
Where blood dripped from trees
There was a legend far away
A story told of me

With a sword within my hand
I seeked revenge on fate
Hunting down those traiters
Slaughtering down with hate

Around the battles lie the ferns
Growing in their ancient dorm
Crimson clouds form from war
Creation of a bloody storm

Tis that day the clouds rained red
Staining where the green ferns grew
Forever than, ferns lived on blood
A lessoned learned, through and through

Good Job!!
