Death Behind the Mask and Knife

Yes, everyday you can see me smile
But what you dont see is my denial
Denying all the pain that I truly feel
Just trying to pretend it's not real

You believed all the lies I had said
That I'm tired and just going to bed
You didn't know what really went on
During the night and up until dawn

I have here a sharp blade with me
It's always kept where you can't see
So as I slowly pull it out at night
I'm careful to keep it out of sight

I held it with great ease and care
While making sure no one's there
To see me do such a frightful act
A motion with swift, deadly impact

That's how I expressed what I felt
The satisfaction just made me melt
Oh I love the burning sensation
I cant stop, it's such a temptation

The night goes on and I start to drift
I have given satan a wonderful gift
As I close my eyes, I smile again
Dreaming of what else could happen

The moon goes down, sun comes up
I get the paper and some juice cup
Looking at that design, I get ready
To put on a mask and keep it steady

Now I'm at school, everyone can see
My masked face that looks so happy
And yet again they think I'm smiling
Little did they know I'm already dying

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.

Xx I Hurt Myself By Hurting You xX

I know there are times when I treat you so bad
I don't give you the love and respect you deserve
There are some hurtful and cruel things I say
That can make you cry when I hit that nerve

I never mean the words that spill out
It's the heat of the moment, a ridiculous fight
Half the time I speak up without thinking
And afterwards I feel ashamed and contrite

I'm first to admit, I can be cruel with my tongue
What I say can knock your heart askew
I take my pain and rage out on someone I love
It's true; I hurt myself by hurting you

We always make it up to my great relief
Cos I'm so scared one day I'll go to far
I have so many demons arguing in my head
Yet you've always been there with love in your heart

I guess in a way I just still can't believe
That you would love someone as messed up as me
You know about my past and everything that went on
Yet you picked me up and brushed off the debris

We've come this far despite everything
I love you Marcus and that will never change
The fights, the words, they all just prove...
Nothing can break the vows we exchanged ©

*Gem*

(It's a few days old, is it still okay to post it?)

This is one of my favorites because I feel so strongly... I hope you enjoy it.

My Enemy. {Homosexual Poem}

My lover stands in front of me;
My lover is my enemy.
Our love all seemed to make sense,
But our lies were our only defense.

Two lovers; we're plain to see,
Are simply two that are meant to be.
But of two who feel so much devotion,
There is very much commotion.

Walking alone the streets one day,
Holding hands, people look in dismay.
A smile on our faces; we hold on tight,
For we won't give up with frightening fight.

Bang, bang; a gun is heard,
And suddenly it all seems absurd.
Holding my love tight in my arms,
Pray can I to take her from harm...
But now it's my turn to look up and say,
'God, why are you being this way!
Out of discrimination, out of hate,
Was this really our final fate?'

I fall to the ground, no longer can I stand,
As I take her head within my hands;
Pulling her close and glare at the sky,
As a tear falls gently from my eyes,
I look up and ask the very sky,
'Did anyone else see this woman die?'

A young woman came to me then,
A display of love, a display of no sin,
And in her sweet smelling arms she took me,
To tell me that my love could now be free;
I closed my eyes and finally cried,
Because of that night, my one and only died.

Our love all seemed to make sense,
But our lies were our only defense.
My lover stands no longer in front of me,
My lover was my soul enemy.

Ripped Paper Hearts / I Will Never Belong To You

I'm sick of being the best friend
When I want to be their girl
I'm sick of making them my everything
When I'm not allowed in their world

I'm sick of all the heartaches
Of all the hurting and the pain
My tears just can't stop falling
Like a summer's stormy rain

Staring at you from across the room
My heart could always flutter
I make it a point to look for you
But when I talk I barely mutter

Why do I care so much
When you couldn't have cared less
Why do you torture me
And leave me standing here a mess

My ripped paper heart
Torn right at the crease
The little rips and previous tears
Still hurt, to say the least

It's the constant torture of seeing you
But that killing pain inside
I always be the one far away
Never the girl by your side

You don't mean to be so mean
It's just that you don't care
I dress up and look pretty, just for you
It takes me hours to pick out what to wear

The perfected brush on my powdered eyes
And a sweep of mascara of two
Just seem to go so unnoticed
Whenever I'm around you

I could look you in the eyes
But you wouldn't hold my glare
You'll be thinking about someone else
Who wasn't even there

Hurt replaces my feelings inside
When I finally realize it's true
That no matter what I do
I will never belong to you

Finally, a REAL contest! =]

Tear Formation
by Twisted Heart

In the corner of an eye,
a simple tear is found.
Washing all the pain away,
without a single sound.
Inside the soul, the weeping,
within the mind, unheard.
Though there is volumes speaking,
it utters not a word.

The heart is cast into the dark,
with not a chance to mend.
It's torn away without remorse
and thrown against the wind.
Shattered with confusion
of a time known long ago,
Or was it just illusion
of a love put on for show.

Among the fallen teardrops
is a hope of heart's desire.
Inside the mind, a simple thought
consumed by fates own fire.
Within the realms of helplessness
that simple tear is seen,
A beacon to the hardened souls
as it passes through their dreams

A place in Heaven for the Fallen
by Ilinca Milosan

The night embraced the sleepy city yet again,
The moon shines silvery upon this world of men.
He kneeled before the cross of God – praying
For his disease to go away, but he was not complaining.

His fever was up high and he had hallucinations
All the shadows in the room seemed like devilish temptations
And the air was harder to breathe, his heart was racing,
But he was heroically fighting with the sickness he was facing.

The wind was blowing cold putting out the shimmer candle light
As a mistress’s silhouette walked in his room making him fright.
“Who are you?” he said – his voice trembling with insecurity,
But the woman didn’t answer mesmerized by his untouched purity.

Suddenly the room went cold and he felt shivers down his spine
“I have come to release you from your pain and make you mine”
The mistress now replied and within a second she was standing by his bed
“Go away! Leave me alone!” was all that he could have said.

She paid no attention to his words and she got closer to his face
“Have trust in me, my dear, and let us share eternity’s grace”
And she gently kissed his neck searching cautiously for a vein
To push her fangs within it quickly so there’ll be no pain.

Before he knew what was going on his heart had stopped beating,
She turned him into her kind and prepared him for fleeting
Away from that place where sickness seemed at home –
He was now in the arms of the undead thrown…

Many days had passed since his sudden transformation
He was now unwillingly darkness’s creation.
He did not want to live forever in the gloomy night
And his mistress’s presence was not wanted in his sight.

Feeding with the blood of the humans that were once his kind
Was something outrageous that could not be assimilated by his mind,
From the start, he did not want to be part of this so called life;
This was not as the woman had planned – she was now in strife.

One night he ran away finding shelter underneath a tree
“I do not wish to be undead – this is not the real me!
God where are you? Please release me from all of this
And may that fiendish woman burn in Hell along with her mortal kiss!”

His body was weak for he didn’t feed since he was made
As he hoped that hunger will help him faster to fade
And when he felt like he was left alone, abandoned by all
Exquisite white angels surrounded him for they heard his desperate call.

Their faces bared no signs of hate; their eyes were filled with love
Amidst doves and divine rays of the purest light sent from above.
“Come, child, don’t be afraid! Father sent us to bring you in our paradise”
“But I am a fallen one…” he said with crimson tears in his eyes.

“You did not cope with the creature in which you were transformed,
You still strived to be human and you wanted your heart adorned
With the purity that you still keep buried deep inside your core
And so you are now as welcomed to our Heaven as you were before.”

He remained astonished by the angel’s words and so
He got up from the muddy ground and felt ready to go.
The angles took him in their arms and they rose in God’s empire
Where darkness never reigns and peace burns bright like fire.

Hope you like it =)

Broken December
by Lauren:x♥x

Echoing ever so softly,
snow falls to the ground
whispers, whispers, whispers.
concealing the lies they surround

December, my truest love,
what ever have i done?
poor freshly fallen, virgin snow,
soiled by the crimson blood.

My lovely, cold, chilling Winter's night.
i never meant to grant you such pain.
i know , i knew the events of that night,
could've happened during a night of rain.

Freshly fallen pure red snow
i regret what i have done to you,
i would give anything i never had
to bleach back your sparkling hue

Now i sit, forever locked indoors,
Never to feel your frigid wind
I've broken you, my lovely December..
I've killed you with one wretched sin

Sitting by the open fire
Yet forever chilled to the bone.
December, my only love,
Death is now what i condone

You said no rules...so I'm assuming you don't need to write a new one. So this is one of my fav's. If it doesn't qualify let me know and I'll try again. Hope you like! Thanks! And great contest! :) ~Midnight Sun
******************************************
ACCIDENTALLY IN LOVE:

How did you do it
Without my consent
You tripped me and I fell
Head over heals I went

This was not the plan
You're crossing all the lines
You're blurring them for me
For them I can no longer find

Resisting this is useless
My heals go no further in the ground
I tried to ignore it
But once again it was you I found

It's not that I'm not willing
It's just that I'm scared
What if you leave me
And I'm standing there bare

I'm still so young
I still have my innocence
I love you, but I can't
Does this make any sense?

I want to do this right
I don't want any regret
I'm accidentally in love
But I'm not ready yet

It's not that I'm not happy
Feeling all this for you
'Cause if anyone can make it
It will be us two

We just need to slow it down
It's moving oh so fast
I want to be seeing our future
Not reflecting on our past

So while I do love you
I don't want any regret
You see, I'm accidentally in love
But I'm not ready yet

~A Rose~

A hard outer shell
The rose is closed up
The scars she bears
Left her torn and scared.
She weeps inside
For the winter winds
Where to harsh
Never wanting to open back up
For she has lost so much.

Months have past
Yet the rose still has not shone
The sun tries to warm her
But her heart still mourned.

Still crying inside
Thinking no one will love her
A sweet gentle hand
Has touched her stem.

A kind soul picked
Her up gently,
Cradling her in his arms
He pealed very carefully
Those bruised rose petals.
Day by day
She started to open up
A delightful bright pink
Was hidden all those months.

To keep her safe
He keeps her planted
In his heart
No longer sad
Her scars are all gone
For this rose has found
Real true love.

~It was my love who gave me this idea. Chris baby you are my one and only. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!~

My Soul Cries Blackened Tears
by Bryan

How long can my heart endure such pain,
Guilt and shame that will forever remain,
Slowly I'm dying from love and I wont be the same,
Same love remains dying from the guilt and the shame.

Trying to survive, but I don't know how long,
I can live without you, I'm trying to be strong,
Sometimes I'm wrong, but one thing is true,
Surviving is wrong, when its without you.

With this final note, my soul dies with fear,
My heart cries from its loss with blackened tears.
You don't know it, but your love is killing me,
But my soul cries for you for an eternity.

I must endure it, even if it means ill die,
My heart and soul will have to live through the goodbyes
And my guilt and shame will soon die too,
So now I can make it, even if it means without you,
My blackened tears will soon turn back clear,
With this final note, there wont be no more tears.

CHAINS UNRBOKEN
-becca

In the corner
filled with dust
not a soul
that she can trust

she sits alone
in the grey
in the fog
that blocks the day

cobwebs sway
on crumbling walls
she stuck inside them
as they fall

and they bring wind
that burn her face
as the debri
is thrown her way

the breeze is cold
on tear wet cheeks
on eyes that search
a heart that seeks

for some faith
some way to trust
to break down walls
and sweep the dust

a chance to live
some air to breathe
some love is really
all she needs

but she is locked
in real tight,
and nightmares haunt her
through the night

and in this room
with broken dreams,
ripped and torn
at the seams

are doors with dust
just left to open
hidden by
the chains unbroken

The Man In Black

He's not standing where he can be seen
On his shoulders all weight does lean
A murderer his choice of trade
His honor broken and emotions stayed

Cold and heartless condemned to walk
A path of sorrow, his life in chalk
But show his true feelings he cannot
For in hard battles he has fought

The broken sword across his hip
Begs for him to take its grip
And slay the world of its wrong
Hark the Nightingale's song

This man is made of many a side
His deadly sin, his life of pride
Yet a gentlemen of olden age
The man who always turns the page

The Arc Angel day and night
He'll try and stand for what is right
He'll help them in their time of need
This man is gone, he's lost his seed

Another leader you may know
The Fallen Angel here to steal the show
Scarred permanently with shame
Chess his kind of judgment game

The perfect performer on the stage
The one who never seems to rage
His poise and stance remain at ease
Yet inside he pays the hated fees

In a pool of blood he always sits
Endless tears fall from those slits
And the trigger he would surely pull
To complete the tale and make it full

His punishment he gladly takes
Too late to make up for these mistakes
His retribution and sacrifice
The deed is done, it shall suffice

"Mirror, Memories"
by The Angel of Secrets

She looks into the mirror,
what does she see?
"This is just impossible,
this can not be me."

Every line has it's own story,
And she's got stories to tell.
Stories that will show you how,
it's like to go from heaven to hell.

She looks into the mirror again,
She can still not believe the sight.
How did this lovely girl become,
a face of darkness and fright?

What happened to the girl,
That always stood up tall?
Who would ever expect,
such a sudden fall?

How could so many secrets,
Lie behind the eyes of a girl?
Where came all the shadows from,
what tore down her perfect world?

Sign It With My Fate

I loved you,
With everything I possessed-
And you stole it from me,
Now I have nothing left...
Just a mask and a broken heart
You didn't have punish me,
for loving you so much!
I don't see what was so wrong
About you and me being 'US'.
You know I watched you turn away
And it felt like,
someone was tearing at my bleeding flesh...
Like long bony hands of hate
Ripping my heart out of my chest!
I heard you tell you loved her,
Knowing I would hear.
The pain of hearing your hate,
Carves away my skin-
With a blunt acidic knife...
It carves away my dreams.
And I'm watching you live your life that way,
I'm watching the laugh and smile.
Then I'm looking at how worthless I've become-
How I hate the world so much.
Realizing we're over for good
Is more then my heart can take.
Here's my death certificate............
Sign it with my fate!

You keep joking with me, you'll be in a body bag,
I will wipe your life away, and every dream you had,
Ill stand in your face, with a smile so glad,
I'll have you wishing and praying that yo never got me mad

If you think Mackenzie can hold me, you must smoke crack
Ill beat you like a kid, fcking take you 5 years back
Trying to take me? Damn its common sense you lack
I'll put a Rambo to your neck, Have your eyes turn black

A 9 mil. at your skull, ready to explode,
Ill make your life a hell, and this world seem cold,
Don't get stupid with me, and act all bold,
Cause one false mistake, and your life is sold

Just get over the fact Mackenzie is mine,
Your a pissed of jealous btch, cause I got something divine,
Your looking for trouble, and its my fist you'll find,
The second you touch me, your crossing the line

Your fcking pissing me off, you started ill finish,
Wipe the floor with your face, your life is diminished

Ill make your one happy life turn into sorrow,
Fck again with me btch...Ill beat your ass tomorrow

David, i love that one

♥ Ciao

Seasons of Love
by Debbylyn

A new bud opened fresh and young
I saw the new life that Spring had begun.
Love touched my heart as the soft Spring air
A gentle breeze whispered of the life we'd share.
Spring a time of living never brought a love so true
And I had never lived a day before I met you.
You opened my heart and filled my mind
Ours is true love, one hard to find.

A full bloomed flower smells sweet and light
Summer makes everything warm and bright
Love made my heart shine as the June sun
A sparkling knowledge that you are the one.
All the summer flowers that are in full bloom
Can't reach the heights of my great love for you.
All of the sunshine will never come near
To the happiness I feel when you are here.

In Autumn the leaves turn to bright fire gold.
Everything withers and dies or gets old.
The fire in my heart's as the gold of the trees,
And Fall brings you in every cool breeze.
Our love won't wither as Autumn leaves
Even when we're old, our love won't be.
In our hearts we'll forever be young
Just as the Springtime when love was begun.

Winter comes softly with frost and snow.
White is a blanket wherever we go.
Just as a soft blanket, love keeps us both warm,
Sheltering us from all of Life's harm.
The coldness will never keep us apart
Only the happiness will live in our hearts.
If as the Winter we grow old and die
I'll be with you always 'til the next Spring comes by.

broken pieces

this broken heart
shattered on the ground
bleeding like hell
savior to be found
and all those blood i've just waist
revenge you'll have to face

you made me cry
you made me bleed
you've left me with nothing to succeed
now i'm all alone
talking on my own
and screaming my lungs out to you

days pass by
i spoke to you
and you didnt even reply
i sit and cry
and wonder why
all you did is lie

Thanx miss Ciao

anytime

This halloween day
by Silhouette, of something unimaginable

The trick or treaters are now all home
tucked away in their comfortable beds
she looks outside as something glides by
"i wonder who is out this late?"
she says to herself as she goes to her door
a cat gives a shriek and runs off in the alley
now here heart is racing she gets to the door
as she grips the knob the doorbell rings
she jumps and gives a scream
but now worried she looks out the peek hole
not seeing anyone she locks the door and steps away
a sudden chill goes up her back as if she is not alone
she looks about but no one is around
she then hears her name called from the top of the stairs
she sends a quiet yes, that roughly comes out
and again she is beckoned but go, she will not
she goes to the phone but the line is dead
the voice of her husband is heard
he was lost many years ago
now she is scared so she goes into the hall
she lifts the switch but nothing comes on
the power out and now the soft patter of rain falls
she begins to worry not knowing what to do
"I've got a gun" she shouts hoping that will get rid of it
"ahh but I've got my fangs" comes a cry she dreads
"ghost and goblins and creatures with fangs
are not true" she shouts to the stair way
now sitting on the couch he touches her hair
"i can hear your pulse racing, please come sit."
"no i will not, for you are not here"
"but i am and i feel a bit cold
won't you come and warm me up"
she turns to see who she feared
with a ghost white face she begins to cry
"i thought you left me, but you are dead
how can you be here messing with my head?"
"i came back to claim my wife
so come close so i may take your life"
she gives him a hug and he touches her neck
"please don't cry for i want you to die"
she looks at him with fear in her eyes
and lays her neck back for him to drink
"now my wife we will stay together for always
because of this Halloween Day."

Once upon a time, in a cold dusty room,
A girl sat alone, ready to face her doom.
There she stood, razor blade to wrist,
Stopping to say goodbye in the mist.

She yelled for mom and dad to come,
They made up excuses, but by rule of thumb,
She knew better. They just didn't care,
They never did, they were NEVER there.

She said, "no I mean it, I think you should,
It'll only take a minute, and it's good!"
Her mom and dad turned off the TV,
She whispered, "this is it, the finale of me"

"So mom and dad, ready for the show?"
"Get on with it! I have somewhere to go!"
They yelled at her, so she said, "ok"
With that took the razor and took her life away.

They looked at her dead body in appall,
"I hope you burn in hell with the devil and all,
You rotten child! I'm sick just looking,
Let's call them to get her, the soonest booking."

A few days later, a funeral was arranged,
Though out of happy spirit...it was deranged.
They spoke of how happy they were she was dead,
And I sat with these people...they're NUTS in the head.

I stood up and shout, "You guys are mad!
Listen to what you're saying, aren't you sad?
Don't you care that she dead because of you?
She KILLED herself out of hate from what you do.

You treated her like dirt every night and day,
You called her ugly and fat and tortured her everyway.
You never showered her with love, like family should,
How is her death happy? How is this good?"

I stormed out the church and got in my car,
Slammed the door and drove to the local bar.
Got real wasted, and looked to my right,
Saw and angel sitting next to me, right in sight.

"Hey, it's you. So you are finally free,
I'm sorry for how they treated you, it shouldn't be.
If I only knew, I would've taken you away,
Please don't hate me, we'll reunite someday."

She spoke back with her beautiful voice,
"It's ok, sis, I made the right choice.
I'm finally happy, and free from that hell,
But I have a secret...promise you won't tell?"

"Ok" I said, as I moved closer to hear,
"what you did was right, do not fear.
God saw what you did, and you put up a good fight,
You're coming to heaven when the timing's right.

As for mom and dad, well, we won't see them again,
They ran off a cliff on the way to see their friend.
They're dead, sis, now you can live on,
Don't forget me, I'll see you when you're also gone.

I'll see you later, I love you so much"
She kissed my cheek with her angelic touch.
"I love you too, I'll keep you're memory alive,
Take your heart with me and my every stride."

With that she was gone, and I passed out,
Woke up in my room, confused and in doubt.
"Did that really happen, or just a drunken dream?"
Then I saw the kiss mark...it was, as it seemed...

~*Who Cares?*~

who cares, that was a great poem! i loved it!!! It could bring a tear to my eye! ='[

The Tale Of A Werewolf

Light turns to shadows
As day turns to night
My presence is unknown
I must stay out of sight

I grow steadily weary
The time is drawing near
Slowly I am filled with dread
I start to shake with fear

I stumble to a room
Lock myself in tight
There's no way I can escape
There'll be no killings tonight

Suddenly the changes start
In agony I scream
This is way too much to bear
I wish this were a dream

The pain finally stops
I slowly rise to my feet
Power surges through my body
I'm a beast that knows no defeat

I race around the room
Frantically searching for a way out
Frustration grows inside me
Until I want to shout

A howl comes from my throat
I hurl myself at the door
I will not be trapped
I never have been before

The door splinters on impact
Joyously I howl
I jump through an open window
To begin my midnight prowl

I race through the woods
The full moon leading the way
The thirst for blood surges
I must find my prey

A smell drifts through the air
Unmistakably fresh
I run in that direction
Towards the scent of human flesh

Mad with desire
I fly through the night
I come to a camp
Killing everyone in sight

In the morning I awaken
In my human form once again
I realize I'm in the woods
And my head begins to swim

I take in my surroundings
Gasping at the sight
The ground is covered with blood
I shudder as I remember the night

Sorrow fills my body
Tears fall down my face
Knowing that I must leave
I vanish without a trace

thanks:)

My Dreams

Another night staring upon this hollow screen
Watching my hands, as they press against sorrow
Magic pours from my bleeding soul
As I paint this picture in black and white

Slowly the screen fills with letters
As my mind ponders with in life
Tracing the outline of my heart
Here the thoughts are laid out right

Another piece of my soul is shown
As I speak of what I do not understand
My mind, my heart, my soul.
Oh how some times I wish I could just scream

Another night in front of this hollow screen
Typing the words that can not leave my lips
Pouring through my finger tips
Is the story of my dreams

Over. The deadline is up. Now, I could sit here and rate your poems, but thats not the way I am. I'm not going to rate a single poem, I'm just going to add all of you to my favourites list. You are all winners.

Wow that's an amazing thing to do on this...thanks for the opportunity! :)

Hm.
That is interesting..
Very interesting..

What a chance, an opprotunity... Odd, I'm baffled. But, I want to be on a favorites list because you like my poems, not because you just did it 'because'.
It's up to you, however. I just hope you enjoy my poetry as much as I enjoy writing it.
