1.Whisper

There's a cold hand on my shoulder,
and a whisper in my ear.
There's a dark and shadowed Ravyn,
drawing ever near.

My soul is growing darker,
cluttered by the thoughts.
The truth has fallen to silence,
and the secrets that I wrought.

I'm sick of hearing whispers,
they crowd all around,
and when they get to screaming,
I fall to the snowy ground.

I fall into the darkness,
that has always been in my heart.
But it overwhelms me,
more then I would dare to know.

So keep to quiet whispers,
and secret sounds inside my ear.
And I'll hear all of your whispers,
though I can't see if you are here.

*I hope that this is good enough, cuz I don't think it does justice to such a great song title.*

reserve paper flowers, NOW!

ok, reserve My immortal

My Immortal

this is my blessing, but also my curse.
just when something gets good, something else gets worse. I asked for this, now i want it not. now i'll always be here, while everyone else will rot.

this is my immortal life, a life that i chose. the door to my life, will now never close. i thought i would want it, thought it would be great. but it's not really awesome, it's not a good fate.

this is my immortal life, now i wish it would stop. i'll always be here, but m loved ones will drop. i'll end up alone, i'll end up with no one. then who is gaining from this? who won?

this is my immortal life and it is forever. no pain, no injury, no danger, never. i thought it would be power, thought it would be fame, but nothing has changed, yet nothing's the same.

this is my immortal life, and even though i feel nothing. something's inside me, and inside me it's growing. and hard as i pray, the pain won't go away. but there isn't a way, for the pain decides to stay.

hiya... just to let you know :) "Paper Flowers" is not really paper flowers. It's "Imaginary". I have the CD 'Fallen' by Evanescence. =) hope that helped you out.

eh.... and since Rainy already reserved imaginary (rain has my nickname ^^ nice.) i shall reserve my 2nd choice, "Taking Over Me", please? . :D

Taking Over Me

I close my eyes and sing a song
One from long before I was born
Where it came from, I don't know
But in that world, singing breached the rules

Diaphragm splitting, someone else controls the keys
Don't you know? Someone's here besides me
They leave my mind and come back again
Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever win

Two shadows, one body
The sun a splitting half of what I've been
Ceasing control of what I am
Divided/alliance/stranger cutting straight into my soul

The mirror sports someone who looks like me
But someone else's face
A silenced, distant scream
Nothing feels the same

Open the chained doors
Let the light hit my skin
I'm living in temporary insanity
Someone else is living in... me

There's this other voice
Someone else's mind
And it's slowly taking over me
(Like a disease)

Can I reserve Paper Flowers?

Paper Flowers(imaginary)

Fragile hands as smooth as stone
Embracing flowers in a silent tone
In a world of fatigue and raging death
These flowers has taken their final breath

Old and whithered was my eternal light
Weeping at the heartbreaking sight
Lack of water, of hope and life
Nothing right now could have survive

To save that last bit of beauty in Earth
I gave these flowers a brand new birth
Using my last trembling power
I made death into a soft paper flower

that really bugs me the name is Imaginary, not ur fault I know but I'm gonna yell at ally!

HeartzOnIce and Rave...

Yeah i figured that out... lol i was singing the song and thats what popped into my head... sadly. so i typed it and didnt even notice i put paper flowers!!!

u posted it 2 times, but it's really good.

*hugs* allanah's not a moron :)

oh... thanx... but i am... =) it just doesnt show when i write poetry!!! ask rave. lol

OH CRAP... Rain... I am SOOO sorry... i wasnt on here for so long that i didnt get a chance to post that Paper Flowers, (imaginary), was already reserved... you can still do it if you want to!!!! im sorry!!!!

Can I reserve My Last Breath?
Ill do it on Word, edit it and fix it up good, then post it after.

[PygmyPuff]

no, thats okay........i am already doing another contest and hosting another one. i guess it was sortov a relief i guess........

Ok I tried something new...
The poem is formatted into 3 stanzas of 8,4,4,4; 8,4,4,4; 8,4,4,4 syllables.
The rhyme scheme is as follows: aabb, ccdd, eeff

*My Last Breath*

Forever crawling in a maze,
Lost in a haze.
Found with delay,
Threw me away.

Heads or tails; A flip of the coin.
Hope you will join.
Again I'm lost,
At every cost.

My love for you, it still goes on,
Our dissolved bond,
With my last breath,
Love you 'til death.

~ reserve "Bring Me To Life"

~

"Bring Me To Life"

Bring me to life, my sweet, desperate song.
Oh I love you so much, you've been away far too long.
Come hold onto me, until the moon goe's away,
And all that is left is a new shining day.

Bring me to life, with your soft, loving kiss.
So that no longer, I'll have your sweet lips to miss.
Hold onto my hand, with your fingertips so smooth.
Only with your touch, will my longing be soothed.

Bring me to life, with your warm, tender gaze.
Your perfect blue eyes know just how to amaze.
To know that you love me, makes my heart come unglued.
Just let me know that my forever, will forever be with you.....

Going Under

Droplets of the ice,
That beckoned for my soul,
Creeping hands pulling me,
A tide in life my goal,

In and out of sadness,
With a distant hiss of grief,
For now I'm screaming save me,
Without a white relief,

Tingling of the sand,
As it stabs the swollen cut,
Evolving into madness,
My last. My final rut,

My left hand held possession,
All left of my conceit,
Dolls with tattered dresses,
Silent in defeat,

The right lasts not forever,
But still cupped between my skin,
Thorns stuck under my fingers,
Love of paper thin,

But I do not keep,
The cherished of my desire,
Never seen in light,
Thus the heart's enchanting fire,

Thunders through the clouds,
I stare out onto sea,
I wander to the darkness,
Alone with only me,

My thoughts plunge in much deeper,
The current pulled so strong,
Awoken to my fears,
Of a lifeless angel's song.

~Emma
thank you.

even so it's good.

thank you :)
made my day.
~Em

Oh well, I hope I can, because it's finished.

Tourniquet (Lyrics)

[Verse #1]
Can you stop the blood dear--
oh, can you check the flow?
You're trying hard, girl,
but I want you to know:

[Chorus]
You're a tourniquet (baby)
just an interim fix
for my bleeding heart (baby)
then I'm on to the next.

[Verse #2]
If you want a lie, darling,
I'll give one for free--
but I'd take the truth honey--
hey, it's your cup of tea:

[Chorus]
You're a tourniquet (baby),
an ephemeral fix
for my torn-up heart (baby)--
then I'm on to the next.

[Bridge]
Grabbing me,
crying all the time,
sighing,
trying, buying
what little time you can;
let me give you a hand
and sell it to you straight:

[Chorus/Extro]
You're a tourniquet (baby)
and one day I'll be gone;
then you'll know (baby)
what I knew all along:

that you're a tourniquet (baby),
let your love turn to hate.
Can't turn back (baby),
it's all far too late.
