FELL APART

They already hated me,
he already broke my heart,
i thought i could still turn to you,
then my world fell apart,

what little friendship we had left,
was saddly no more,
you disowned me over text,
then i tried to talk to you and you slamed the door,

we were best friends at one stage,
together tho it all,
but you can never be best friends with someone who is two-faced,
cuz sepretly you just fall,

now i can't go back to face them,
i will feel ashamed in this case,
all i won't to know is where i fit in,
where is my place,

and now i cry,
im scared because i can't not stay away,
i have to go back to face rejection,
redemption in a way.

can i enter this compition?

hello?

yea can i? i dont have any awards either

yes you both can

come on people we have only 2 poems in this contest so far keep em' coming xxx alex xxx

My Story

I have this story I tell
When someone asks why
I put myself through hell
Or why I wanna die

It all started one day
Way back in the 6th grade
Thats when I had my first encounter
With my lovely little blade

It was one of those days
Where you regret everything you say
Where nothing goes your way
Just another normal day

The day I learned how unforgiving
God can trully be
And all the spite and hate he was saving
Just to give to me

It was around lunchtime
When I was called to the office
And was told about a crime
That was full of passion and malice

Earlier that morning
My father hit bottom
And started drinking and swearing
Pretty soon mother began yelling
So father started shouting
And before either of them knew it
They were face to face, fist fighting
Mother was scratching, bitting, and slapping
Father was hitting, kicking, and laughing

Father got tired
And grabbed a knife
He slashed up his wife
And brutally ended her life

He left the knife in the sink
And wrote a confession in ink
Then left without a blink

I've never seen him since
But still I slit my wrist
And try to hide the evidence
That I'd rather not exist

You can't always be there. When I fall. Trying to catch me doesn't work at all. I know you care because you're always there. You can't always be there. When I cry. As the tears swell up in my eyes. You're more of a person than I could ever be. You must understand where I am coming from. You want the best, you want me safe and you need to know that it's just not me. You can't always be there. When I am scared. I feel so small, no bigger than an ant, but I don't want you there when I am scared. I don't want you there when I feel like nothing, zip, zero. Please quit trying to be my hero. You must understand. You can't always be there. When I fall.

Let Me

I'm crying,
and I'm dieing
Let me shorten my wait,
For this terrible fate,

Let me take the knife,
And with it shorten my life,
Let me shorten my wait,
For this terrible fate,

Let me take the knife,
To shorten my strife,
With it make two long slits,
Rite along my wrists!

What is the point in explaining?
The only comfort i find is my quick decease of exhaling
And with this final breath
I say my last goodbyes!

My Guardian Angel

I stand here protected, as one guarded child.
I sit alone safely, where nothing is wild.
Never been in danger, never in harm's way.
and all of life's challenges, waited at bay.

i have always been happy, for I've never felt pain.
my angel stands by me through sun snow and rain.
she is always smiling. and a smile she receives.
she tricks enemies away, or is it me she deceives?

I have always been guarded, and so never in fear.
and I stay locked up always, year after year.
have not seen a human, for she said they are bad
and even though i am healthy, i remain sad.

have i been missing out, is there much more to life,
could i someday have children and maybe a wife?
I must see it for myself, no longer can i wait.
i must be fragile, for fear is a human trait.

i wanted the experience, yet she locked me in.
i tried to run away, but she will always win.
I'm stuck here forever, i cry through the night.
and for the first time ever, i am feeling fright.

so long's gone by now, i still am stuck here.
i now cry every night, for real life is so near.
but here i shall stay, until my final breath.
so is she My Guardian Angel, or my Angel of Death.

hey guys. i know i win a tad too much (even tho its usually just h/m or something) to enter this but i want to wish you all good luck:)

rite thats ten i will let you know the results sooooon xx

infact ten was a bit too short lets make it 20 they are reli good up to now tho xxxx :)

( I havent given it a title......)

By: ~Flying High~

And I sit here once more waiting for the
Old familiar hand to pick me up from this
Pile in which I have collapsed into so many
Times before this one, although none seem to have
Ever lasted as long or hurt as bad as this one.

The one who I run to when my eyes are
Swollen shut because of the tears I have cried,
The one who holds me while my body aches for
One more hit, one more dose of the love that caused
All of this, the one who keeps me from me.

He sweeps in just like before, once more picking
Me up off the cold, damp bathroom floor.
The one he always seems to find me laying upon.
He rides in on his white steed and holds me close
Keeping me safe from the terrors I have caused myself.

Ain't life a bitch
By:AKA

Has anyone ever told you that life is a bitch

Well they right, its true and I'm sick of this shit

People running they mouth about shit they don't know

And yo stupid ass boyfriend got with another ho

Everyone in yo family yelling at you everyday

And u wanna just leave but something tells u to stay

Then you find that yo uncle is addicted to crack

And yo so called best friend then stabs u in the back

And u wonder why mama just hates her little girl

And all thats left for u to do is scream
FUCK THE WORLD!

But its alright cause everybody gotta go through some shit

Just pass on this message "Life sure is a Bitch"

Widow's Black Dress

Oh, look at that pretty girl
With the punk rock attitude
And a shaken world
She has on her black dress
To remove her past
She tries the best
She hates her mom, she hates her dad
Cause they both act like the bottles
All they ever had

Look, she can smile
Although those beatings
Kept her closed for awhile
I'm guessing she's remembering
Her plans of escape
While their slumbering

(Chorus)
She sits alone in her black dress
Empty room is such a mess
No room breath, no room to move
The blood stains aren't completely removed
But Widow's black dress never looked so good
Widow's black dress never looked so good

Oh, she's going out tonight
She's gonna do up her hair
She's gonna do it alright
That black dress it looks so good
With the tears wiped off
And the blood removed
Ignore that bruise on her eye
She's away from her piss-drunk dad
And that angry guy
She hopes to have some fun
Before she packs her bags
And runs

(Chorus)
She sits alone in her black dress
Empty room is such a mess
No room breath, no room to move
The blood stains aren't completely removed
But Widow's black dress never looked so good
Widow's black dress never looked so good

I guess she found a way unknown
Out of that hell she called home
That black dress is still on her
As a new live she enters

(Chorus)
She sits alone in her black dress
Empty room is such a mess
No room breath, no room to move
The blood stains aren't completely removed
But Widow's black dress never looked so good
Widow's black dress never looked so good

keep them up they are really cool xxx

~Too Late~

Alone in the darkness,
i sit on my own.
this petite little corner,
it now is my throne.
i shake and i shiver,
your face in my mind.
my fantasies and hopes,
and my dreams were declined.
the way that you hurt me,
it still makes me cry.
i feel so damn ugly,
i think i know why.
the words that pumped into me,
they pierced through my heart.
all of my security gone,
I'm back at the start.
i think that I'm scared of you,
and i think i know why.
you told me to trust u,
that was a lie.
i want my life to end,
i pick up the knife.
my blood pours out,
its the end of my life.
this is what you've done,
my heart is torn.
don't come and save me,
it too late....I'm gone!

Crismon Fields [sestina]

The men shot into the horizon,
And watched as their friends fell;
Their blood a painted river
Among the dusty battle fields.
And with in their left breast pocket,
Were smiles of the ones they loved.

They fought for who they loved,
They prayed to-wards the horizon;
A cross placed in their pocket,
Forbidden tears often fell.
With dreams of grassy fields
And beautiful majestic rivers.

The tears were their rivers;
They were surrounded by no love
Captured within the prison of fields.
Shot to-wards the horizon
And watched as the enemy fell.
Placed a bullet with in their pocket

The safety, of an invisible pocket;
Was all that protected them from crimson rivers,
But even then one... by one... they fell
All for the ones they loved.
Red and Black tinted the horizon,
And gray swept through the fields.

Poppies rose from filthy fields
And they placed memories in their pockets,
Watched the sun set upon the horizon
As the soothing sound of the trickling river
Shared the perfect moment everyone loved;
As finally the long awaited silence fell.

So think of those who fell
Within the crimson fields
You are who they loved.
You kept the smile in their pocket
Their souls have filled the river
And their hearts brighten the horizon.

For The final tear fell, and landed in the pocket;
Of the soldier in the field, beside the bloodied rivers;
Going home to the ones they loved, they set towards the horizon

The Scarlet Blood Roses

There are roses that bloom in the darkest gloomiest part of the earth. I know that it may sound strange and maybe to some, impossible.

But these roses really exist and they're only known by a few. They secretly bloom for the dark and hated, the lonely, and the sad too.

I have seen these roses myself with my own two eyes. They're not like the usual rose, and they reveal a strange surprise.

They have such a strong force that pulls you to them, sometimes against your will. They show your deepest thoughts and erase any pain that you feel.

You become one with them. Everything in your life takes on a change. It's like leaving a life of misery behind and stepping into a life of fame.

But you must make sure that the choice you make is sincere. Because you might find yourself drowning in their scarlet bed of blood with a heart thats been pierced.

All it takes to join the blood roses is a prick of the thumb. Your blood becomes one with all that has been pricked. Which is an anonymous sum.

After your blood has been shed, the journey begins. You see everything differently. You hold no anger within.

Then the surprise comes along. and You've just sold your soul. Now the happiness you've just found just as quickly has gone.

You can't turn back now. You can't change your mind, or you'll find yourself swimming in their blood eternity that's for all time.

You then realize that you were chosen to be a pawn in the Devils game. You hate yourself deeply. Your now more depressed and ashamed.

Your blood is now mingling with over a billion of lost souls. All because you were pricked by a scarlet blood rose.

Love is.....
(for ida, The poem I'll never compromise)

My love is like a four leafed clover.
Search for it, and it seems impossible.
You have to have that kind of blind faith in me, I'll find you.

I know how to love. We could have been lovers.
Loved as lovers do, and you and I, we could have made two,
But Im a ripped up flower and you an angry dove.

And do we really know what love is? It's texture? Flavor?
Can we put it in a test tube, sell it labeled 'savior'?
Can I have it now? Do I get it later? Or no guarantee.

Or is it a nonexistent scripture?
Like Jesus says, 'Love one another.'
Though I hear sex is better.

I know how to love. We could have been lovers.
Loved as lovers do, and you and I, we could have made two,
But youre a homeless waitress and Im a bartender.

Laugh later, cry now and then, with the realization that this was it,
And in the end the mystery that is life leaves you unsatisfied.
I grow tired waiting for the stage mist and audience chatter to fade.

Turn on the lights and sing with the starry eyed!
The rhythm of love is there beating, can you hear it?
Are you amazed? Or do you think, 'I hope it dies.'

Im talking about love in the purest sense of the word,
Like clouds that scatter leaving an infinitely blue sky.
It makes you want to laugh and smile like the children we were.

I know how to love. We could have been lovers.
Loved as lovers do, and you and I, we could have made two,
But Im a bank robber and you a convenient store clerk.

So what if this word means more or less than we know?
Will you continue its overused and abused status by exaggerated teens?
Or will you hold it until the time comes to let it blossom.

Or is it supposed to be a mystery?
On every vocabulary test leave the definition blank.
It's up to your discretion to interpret its meaning.

Yours are the kisses whispered in the dark.
Or, when Im dancing alone, youre the tap on the shoulder in the rain.
Your part of my hope that all love's not the same.

I know how to love. We could have been lovers.
Loved as lovers do, and you and I, we could have made two,
But too soon I'm leaving here, and so are you.

We could have been lovers but we were seduced.
Drawn in by a word that was chaotically let loose.
We're the never been lovers that live with the truth.

This is one of my best poems. Hope you like.

The Story of Life
1) Sitting all alone
In the darkness of the world
Waiting for the right time
To reenter my existence

2) They'll never know
The way they hurt me
Oblivious to what I had felt
And still felt

3) They'll never know
What I did, my effort
To ignore them, to completely
Shut them out

4) But now they say they're sorry
But sorry is not good enough
It will never be
It will never overcome my hurt

5) It will never satisfy my vengeance
My vengeance against them
For what they did hurt me
Hurt me bad

6) Sitting there in the shadows
Overcome with fear
Never realizing the life around me
Or the friend that stood by me

7) Always ignoring her
Like she never existed
Even though she had always
And still does stand by me

8) She never looked down on me
But always as an equal
Although I did not
I knew, just knew

9) I knew that she had always
Always been my friend
But I had never noticed
Never, until now

10) Now, I notice, and I realize
That she had always cared
Cared about my feelings
And how I live my life, and now...

11) Sitting out in the open
The sunlight shining down
Releasing the fear
That had held me back for so long

12) Strolling along, never looking back
At the life I once had
Now introduced to a new world
And loving it

13) Until a time
A time of rage
She turned against me
taunting me from the side

14) Anger flowing through and through
Never pausing for even a moment
So here I am now
Back to where I started

15) Sitting there all alone
In the darkness of the world
Waiting for the right time
To reenter my existence

OMG! When does this contest end? lol

An Undecided Kiss

Not a day goes by when I'm not thinking of you
You're so beautiful
There is something different about you than most
Something that attracts me differently
Maybe it's your eyes
Oh God when I look into them,
I swear I see the stars
My heart starts to race
My palms become sweaty
I am at a loss for words because my tongue will not adhere to my will

I don't know what to say
I don't know what to tell you
I want to tell you how I feel
How my lust for you burns so fiercely
But I mustn't
Why?

Because I have to take down your picture
I can't stop looking at it
When I look at it, I want to be with you
But I know you don't want to be with me
And I need to stop telling myself I might have a chance

You already have someone in your life
Someone you claim to love
Now I don't know the whole story on this person
But in a way I kind of wish I was in their place
So I could kiss you when I wanted to
Hold you when I felt like holding you
I want your hands to be mine to hold
Look at you and know that you love me the way that I love you
Loving you the way that I want to
And that you would never leave me

I once had the chance to have you I think
I was unsure at that time and I think you were too
So I abandoned it and didn't think of it again

Until awhile back
I saw you for the first time in a long time
God you looked so beautiful
Suddenly, I wanted my heart to be yours
To be yours to do with what you will
As long as you promise not to puncture it, and make it bleed
If that happens, then I don't know what I'd do
I would be lost in this world
Lost, confused, and broken
With no one to take your place
No one to love me the way that I wanted you to love me

I would be so good to you
Treat you so well
I would always be there when you need me
I would comfort you
If you ever cried, I would cry with you
It would hurt me though, to see you crying
I hope that I never make you cry
I don't know what I would do if I ever made you cry
I wouldn't be able to handle it

If you were to die tonight
I would also die
There is no way I could survive on this earth without you
Even if I never saw you again
Because my soul seems to feed on your existence
Nothing can change the way I feel about you
Not even Death himself

Sometimes I try to be mad at you so no one can see how I feel about you
It works until you get mad at me
Then I wish that I wasn't pretending to be mad at you
And you could know how I feel

I want to kiss your lips so badly
But I have kept it undecided
The undecided kiss that I want to bring us together
Together forever, or at least a very long time
I just want a chance to be with you

If only I knew if you felt this way about me
I would be thrilled if you felt the same way I do
My whole life would change, probably for the better
But nothing is that great in this world we live in,
And you probably never think about me,
Or consider being with me, and I will never have you

If only I hold on to my affection for you,
An affection so strong, not even the ends of the earth could stop its heartbeat
Somewhere down my lonely path,
If I give you my undecided kiss,
You could be mine

wow the first contest I cant enter.. feels kinda weird.. good luck everyone
