5. "Could nine"
by The Angel of Secrets

It feels like you grabbed out my heart,
cause thats what you wanted to from the start.
You pulled the heart, out of my chest,
Took my love, didn't care about the rest.
A body, a soul, can't even care,
cause my love was just for you, not to share.
You wanted me to love you, and only you,
Even if it meant, my love wasn't true.
You took it by power, it didn't matter,
You grabbed it to hard, and you made it shatter.
For a day or two, you were up on cloud nine,
"I got her, I got her, she's finally mine."
But after a while your dream flew up in fear,
as you saw on my cheek a single tear.
By power you swept me off my feet,
and now you beg my broken heart to beat?

2) Call Me When Your Sober
By Gemma

You come home again in the early morning
Reeking of another woman’s perfume
Burst into the bedroom with no warning
Just how many beers did you consume?
I said don’t come to my place tonight
Just please call me when you’re sober
Cos when you’re drunk I can’t stand the sight
And I just pray for it all to be over
You get drunk and start to do stupid stuff
Start your flirting with countless girls
Did you ever think that I might have enough
And your world will slowly unfurl?
Cos it’s true, I can’t take it anymore
I’ve been out and I’ve found someone new
Someone who doesn’t throw me to the floor
And is honest, faithful and true
So after cheating and blaming the booze
You have only yourself to blame
You saw me with him and your ego got bruised
It must be exhausting to lose your own game

*Gem*

(That was fun =)

Weight Of the World
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Everything you knew comes crashing down
I wish to save myself
But you act like all my screaming has gone unheard
I want to know why can't you hear me?
Beg my heart to beat if i'm deseast
I couldn't bare to take your hand in my state
My love wasn't enough
My very nightermare has come true
Take my darkest fears and play them like a lullaby
If I cut you down to a thing I can use
I'd be free of my fate
But till then...
Let me stay inlove with my sorrow..

(i did this one last minute so its terrible but i used alot more then one like from Weight of The World)

All that I'm living for

When they called to tell me the news
Told me you were gone
My heart started to hurt
like it was hit by a bomb

Like I've been bum rushed
It took me by surprise
It wasn't long
till the tears rolled from my eyes

I prayed to God
and hoped that this was all a game
That when I wake up
Everything will be back to being the same

But still as I sit here
writing this poem to you
should it hurt to love you
Should I feel like I do?

Your all that I was living for
You were all that I was about
am I gonna miss you?
oh without a doubt
but

I know your not coming back
and I wont hear your voice again
But always in my heart
you will be my best friend

I would like to reserve:
7. Lacrymosa "My Love wasn't enough"
--Please, thank you! =)

When is the deadline?

Can I please reserve Sweet Sacrifice? (:

-Jenna.

I'd like to do number 10

ONLY ONE
Heaven shine a light down on me
Or lift me up so I can breathe

I only have one life to live
But I feel so worthless with nothing to give

Please oh God help me make through
Give me a plan, give me something to do

No one loves me, I’m no ones friend
I have one life to live, but don’t want it to end

Heaven please shine a light down on me
Or lift me up so I can breathe

The weight of the world is pushing me down
Not one person will help no ones around

I have one life to live but don’t know how
Heaven please shine your light on me now

I need to feel acknowledged, please recognize
I feel meaningless, but know I’m perfect in your eyes

If you could help me, please lend your hand
I’ll let your will be done and follow your plan

I have only one life to live and want to make it good
But I need your help telling me how I should

Lacrymosa
By Ilinca Milosan

She was sleeping gently until she heard a strange sound
When she opened her eyes there was fire all around.
She quickly got out of bed and started to scream
Her heartbeat racing – she hoped it was all a dream.

She put the fire out with her own bed sheet
Struggling desperately in the demonic heat
Burning drops of sweat pouring down her face
She knew she had to get out of that place.

She rushed downstairs as quickly as she could
Only to find something no one else should –
The living room caught up in a red and yellow flame
She screamed at the sight as the firemen came.

She jumped out the window and started to run
Tears pouring down her face dirty and ashen.
Her feet tired and heart barely beating in her chest,
She fell to the ground laying her body to rest.

Thoughts of the dying family she left behind
Stung her heart and blinded her jaded mind,
Ashamed she had no courage to stand up and fight
Her burning tears mixed with the cold rain that night.

She managed to get up and shivering she walked away
Begging for something to help her forget this day.
Out there in silence she saw a shimmering light,
Ran towards it to find a world made out of white.

Fragile crystal roses adorned the entrance door,
Springtime grass covered the flowering floor,
Her eyes mesmerized by the beauty of that place -
Could not believe there is a world of such grace.

When she almost stepped in she heard a noise behind
She ran into darkness as light was erased from her mind –
She thought she saw a man passing through the bushes
Wanting to discover who he was, ignoring angelic voices.

She followed him deep in the gloomy silent land,
As she though she lost him he grabbed her by her hand
Smiling seducing he looked her straight in the eyes
Approaching to her face he started her demise.

Her heart shattered into pieces, but she felt in love
Her dress once white as wings of a graceful dove
Turned to darkened red and her golden hair – black,
She’d stepped into a realm where there’s no coming back.

And years from then she served that gorgeous fiend
Her soul was sewed to his charms never to be weaned
Until one wretched day when he got bored of her
And decided it’s time for her damned life to apart be tore.

He lured her in his chamber and revealed his true face
Laughing disgusted – such hideous creature of disgrace,
Her dressed burst in flames that burnt through her skin
“I’m the Devil you fool, too late now to repent from sin”

He abandoned her there in that dark and heated room
She still couldn’t believe she was bound to doom
As demons came and ripped off her burning clothes
Tears pouring from her eyes – her heart filled with woes.

Her body nailed to a weeping willow – she lies in grief
She couldn’t understand how she was lead in this mischief,
She wears a burnt cloak with a cap to hide her scarred face,
Her soul is damned and thrown in the Devils’ embrace.

It’s said that everyone who falls in the Devils’ trap
Can hear her jaded voice as she cries in mishap
“My name is Lacrymosa - I’m the entrance weeper,
My love wasn’t enough for this wretched demon keeper

So now I’m bound to suffer through eternity and beyond
As reward for foolishly believing in the existence of a bond,
I was mislead by my fears and now I cry my disgrace
The only thing left pure in me is the tears on my burnt face.”

I'm sorry it's so long and I hope it's okay that I didn't use "My love wasn't enough" for a whole line, but added more words to create one. I hope you like it =)

Snow White Queen Topic-

The ashes fall upon my face,
As I cry hard; in dismay,
You are never here to comfort me…

Why don’t you go away?

Colors flash by; swaying.
And I have no conception,
My snow white queen is calling me
Enduring in deception

I’m waking up from my dream
It’s cold in here, and lonely
I am blind to your pastiche now…

You were my one and only.

Why are you hurting me?
I am losing my mind…
But all you do is stand there
As my world divides.

Almost Done

okay I'm here *pants like she just ran the mile*
GOT IT!!!! lol :p

Cutting Is My One True Fate

I wanna stay in love with my sorrow
For I don't want to ever see tomorrow
By staying in love with the saddness I know
Then there are things I won't ever have to show

The scars on my ankles and my wrists
Are from one blade's deadly kiss
He cuts down so deep, the pain, it sharpens
The rock-front I put up slowly hardens

The blood flow freely, the release of pain
Cutting helps me feel real again
I don;t know how, and I don't know why
I can't just sit down and cry

So after all these horrible years
There has never been any tears
And though I try and though I wait
I guess Cutting Is My One True Fate

** NOT A TRUE STORY**

can i please reserve...Lie cold in the ground like you

thx

Almost done!
GET YOUR RESERVES IN!!

I should have mine in by tomorrow night. Sorry, I've just been a bit busy.

-Jenna.

Sweet Sacrifice.

She slams the bottle down - looking upon a shattered frame,
Covering a boy and another pretty face without a name;
Heart breaker, don't you know your little lines ate her alive,
And left her with nothing but empty promises to survive?

You scripted the act and played it out on a silver screen,
And I have to say, you did quite well on the love scene;
And with your bloody dagger, you stabbed her in the heart;
Dying like a movie star in your arms, she played the part.

And as rusty tears trickle down from her blood shot eyes,
Her naive heart continues to believe your pathetic lies;
A sweet sacrifice you cluttered with petty duct tape sorries -
And with a shudder she slurs: "You know you live to break me."

Great!

When does this one end??

Sorry it took me so long to finish this but i couldnt think of anything to finish it off so...i forgot about it...but...i picked up my pen and finished it...so without adieu...

Weight of the World---Like all my screaming has gone unheard

All these thoughts in my head,
Are being portrayed,
As I lift up my wrist,
And lower my blade,

As the tears subside,
The night ends in bliss,
Why did this happen,
My wounds never hurt like this,

Something has come upon me,
The pain so absurd,
Feels like the weight of the world,
Like all my screaming has gone unheard,

As the tears subside,
The night ends in bliss,
With no one to say goodbye,
My knife gives me my last sweet kiss

Whew! finally lol

Can I reserve Lithium?!?

Can I reserve "How can the darkness feel so wrong" ? Or is this contest over?

13 please!

xxleisaxx

I sat in the darkness
I lived without light
I shunned life around me
I craved a hard fight

I was happy with no one
I would rather be alone
I cursed those who were happy
From the light that shone

But as a small candle
That grew larger and larger
You lit up my life
Even though you were a stranger

My life served a purpose
I had meaning once more
I started to see why I had hurt
And looked forward to what was in store

But you left me so quickly
As easily as you came
I was abandoned without warning
Left in the cold, I was shamed

So I went back to darkness
Singing my morbid song
But something wasn't right
How can this darkness feel so wrong

Was it because I finally felt love
Because I really needed you
Because we were meant to be
How can any of this be true?

I used to be so happy
Being completely alone
Is it possible you left me
Needing more than my own

So now as I sit in darkness
I crave the warmth of light
Even though before in this sorrow
I craved the hard fight

(Thanks for the contest, that was very fun...it's the first contest I've ever entered. Thanks again! And I hope you like it! : )

Ummm, I wrote one for How Can The Darkness Feel so Wrong but then I looked at the options again and it was taken off. Does my poem still count?

r there any more titles left woul like to enter if possible if so what is left?

9. Lose Control "If I cut you down to a thing I can use"

10. Only One "Don't look down, you'll fall down" OR "If I can't feel, I'm not mine,I'm not real."

11. Your Star "Can't break the silence,It's breaking me"

^^ Those ones are left I think.

-Jenna.

I'd like Your Star "Can't break the silence,It's breaking me"
sounds cool!
Charisma*

Can't Break the Silence

Sitting on the edge of the bed,
Head held in shaking hands
Drowning in my tears again
Letting them stay where they land

First fight in such a long time
But worse than the others we've had
Didn't think you'd say those things
Or make me keep falling back

And I wanted to say I'm sorry
Tell you to forget all that I'd said
But those words are still inside of me
As I nearly fall off this bed

Shattered hearts lay on this floor
And words unsaid keep drifting by
Pieces of you and me break apart
It won't be long until we die

You've left to cool off and drive around
So this house is empty and still as can be
Even my crying doesn't echo anymore
And I can't break the silence. It's breaking me.

But I'll clean up this mess again,
As you pull back into the drive
I think it's time we settle this
Because I need you to feel alive.

By: Charisma
Very fun!

Excellent job! Almost Over!!

awesome contest btw!

I ♥ Evanescence!

Ciao xx

"Lithium"

And it seems to me that somehow,
You are always gone when I need you.
Somehow, never there to hold me when
I cant face myself, or look at myslef in
The mirror, and yet I hold it together.

Tonight you left, left for good. With another
Girl on your arm, another doll at your side.
Someone else to abuse, someone to hurt.
And I should feel happy, I should be glad,
But all in all, I cannot take this.

You were mine first, you had me first,
And you loved me first, you were mine.
Now once again, I lay here silently,
Hoping and wishing for you to come back.
I'll always find my place among the ashes,

Of a love that will never be, of a hope
That has been bruised and cracked beyond
Repair, of a life that was never truly free.
I'll always find my place among the ashes,
Of a girl; of me!
