Goodbye Is All We Have

Goodbye is all we have,
I must leave you now,
Bid adieu this subtle hate,
And break our vacant vow.

Your heart does not belong to me,
I know it never did,
Drowning in your misery,
It was I who truly hid.

I hid myself away from life,
Settled for your charms,
Let you disrespect body,
I let you cause me harm.

I rose up with the sun today,
So strong and full and bright,
Packed up all that I could carry,
And stepped into the light.

Goodbye is all there is to say,
I'm be better off alone,
Before bitter love does touch my soul,
And turn my heart to stone.

Where Have You Been?

Where have you been
Since the dawn of my life?
Forcing razor and wrist
To make an untimely unite

Breathing, seeping, into my veins
Your blood drips ever so slow
The ways you seem to come back to me
Never evenly fit my flow

You're never there, always gone
Not letting me have a clue
As to why you're always gone
Is it just because you're you?

Where have you been
All of these sorrowful years?
You've left my dry eyes
Dripping fiery tears

When did you make
This ultimate descision
To move out of my life
And let me make the inscision?

I wanted to know you
But I suppose I won't til the end
I have one question, though:
Where have you been?

Once in a While
by HiddenxSoul

My past is not a piece of treasure
Of which I am too fond
It's broken me down to someone
Who barely utters any response

Many encounters took place
Of which my mind is hazy
Yet no one listens when I try to explain
Instead this girl is just "crazy"

So the only way I get noticed
Is to act outside of my bounds
I scream, I shout, do anything at all
Just so somebody will hear my sound

Every once in a while
I go a little bit mad
Become some sort of a rebel
Like to be known as "bad"

But I'm really not that awful
I'm really not that severe
I just want people to listen to me
To help me stop my falling tears

Just turn around and notice
That here I'm standing still
You'll help me out, oh so much
Believe me, you will

So every one in a while
Just listen to my plight
Cheer me up, dry my eyes
So the tears can stop at night

I'm Moving On

I'm Moving On, without you,
but it might be hard to do-
because of all the memories
and everything we went through.

I'm Moving On, without you,
because you left me all alone.
You had told me that you loved me,
but I guess I should've known.

I'm Moving On, without you;
no more pain my heart should endure.
I might've been hesitant,
but now, I'm oh so sure.

I'm Moving On, without you;
your love holds nothing now.
It did once, but now it's gone;
don't bother asking "How?"

I'm Moving On, without you-
no more tears upon my face.
It's over and done; I'm gone.
I don't need your warm embrace.

I'm Moving On, without you,
all your notes, I've thrown away.
I erased the mark on my calender
where it noted our special day.

I'm Moving On, without you,
and I guess that you are too.
I really wish that this was different-
I wanna be Moving On, with you.

Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word

Of all the lies that passed your lips-
"I Love You" I think was the worst.
Not because I believed you,
but because, I think, you're cursed.

Of all the memories that we made-
It's the one that's stuck in my head:
the time we watched for shooting stars;
it's all those sweet nothings you said.

Of all the time I spent with you,
I remember that night, in June;
Sitting there, cuddling, on the couch;
it all had ended too soon.

Of all the times that reminded me
I thought that our love was true;
it was the time when you said:
"Baby, I Love You."

Of all the hurt you put me through,
I still love you with all my heart.
No matter what happens or where we end up,
we're never that far apart.

Of all the things I wished for;
I have wished for nothing more-
than to hold you in my arms;
our love is too strong to ignore.

Of all the words I've longed to hear-
it's the word I've never heard.
This word could fix everything:
Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word.

What Hurts The Most

What hurts the most is losing you,
when I didn't know right from wrong.
I never meant you any harm-
but I waited too long and you're gone.

What hurts the most are the memories;
all the times we spent together.
How could I let our love die?
This was a pretty short forever.

What hurts the most is our song;
the words still stuck in my head.
I try to remove all my thoughts,
but all I see is you, instead.

What hurts the most are our pictures-
those moments captured in time.
Like our own private, little book-
each representing a single line.

What hurts the most is my heart:
because it's on the floor, broken.
I wish I could take back what I said;
I wish I had never spoken.

What hurts the most is the love
I still hold inside. It's true-
that no matter what you you may think
What Hurts The Most is you.

Grandma.

You were so young, so funny and so bright, I miss you all day, and every single night. I pray to God, to tell you I miss you, and I hope you see me, and I hope you're proud of me.

breast cancer took your life, and I miss you, and I feel a fright, why did breast cancer have to take your light?

I wonder if you're there, touching my hair, when I'm laying there crying. I've seen lights in the hall way, and in my room, I don't feel afraid of them, I was wondering if they were you?

I also wonder funny things, like do ghosts watch you in the shower? Do they watch you every hour?

Do you watch my recital each year? Can ghosts shed a tear?

Are you watching me right now? Can you hear the words I'm typing? You probably think this is gay, you'd probably laugh and say "Stop being so gay, go make some chocolate milk." You used to make chocolate milk with me and Kelsey a lot. And the winterfresh gum you always had in that drawer, reminds me of you everytime I open my purse, and taste that big burst, of that minty gum, Yum yum yum.

I'm sorry I still shed tears for you, I know you don't want me too, but I can't help, that I miss you.

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Written for my awesome funny grandma, who died of breast cancer. So don't forget to give to those breast cancer funds. They mean a lot, breast cancer must be stopped.

He's All I Ever Had

Running bare foot under that old red oak tree,
With you running fast behind, chasing after me,
And our Daddies were standing there on the deck,
When you leaned in to kiss my cheek, just a peck.

And my face went red, when I ran from you,
Laughing as you caught me, under the sky so blue,
Watching the cloud shapes go by, laying in the grass,
Just as we watched our lives pass by us so fast.

And Standing here today looking at that picture,
Takes me back to the day in that big Church,
Your eyes upon me in that white wedding dress,
Saying our vows to our family and beloved guests.

A year had passed, with our first child on the way,
When you took my hand and told me that day -
That you'd be leaving, taking your place in the army,
And as tears fell from my eyes, you sat and held me.

And in your army green, I waved good-bye to you,
As the smoke billowed, and the train drove through -
That old town where we grew up, and I waited,
Letter after letter came, until one sorrowfully dated.

And as I opened it, crystal tears formed in my eyes,
"In Flanders Field is where your husband now lies,"
I read aloud when I hit that old hardwood floor on my knees,
Tears splotching the black ink as I begged God please.

And our daughter, proud and strong in her young age,
Held me in her little arms through all of my tears and rage,
But in her eyes, I saw a glimpse of you in the emerald green,
Smiling with your bright eyes, watching over her and me.

And in case you're wondering, she grew up tall and beautiful,
Just like her old man, a kind heart and wonderful soul -
But as she stands before me today, she remembers her Dad,
Walking down the aisle as I whisper, "He's all I ever had."

Please Remember Me

Behind an old garbage bin, he sorrowfully cries,
Down on his knees, paying for all his pathetic lies,
And he etches out the words on his wedding band:
"This life is ours to share; forever - hand in hand."

His breath laced with cigarettes and whiskey,
He litters his memories on the old city streets,
And as he walks along the busy interstate,
Headlights shining, horns blaring - he looks straight.

For in his mind, and above his heart; he sees her face,
Holding onto her tattered picture - a beautiful disgrace,
But standing outside of her house, he sees her smile,
As he places down his letter - mumbling of her beguile.

Sitting alone under the broken stars - he sighs:
"When you think of that old car, and those leather seats,
And when you see that old wedding picture of you and me,
I hope you think of me. When you see those baby shoes,
And that string of pearls I bought when you told me the news,
Or that old stroller folded up inside our first baby crib of blue,
I hope you think of me and the way I sat there holding you -
In that hospital room, with tears in your eyes, when you said;
It'd be me and you forever, and I kissed your sweet lips of red.
But baby, when you think of that day - the county fair in town,
My eyes on you as you laughed with your friends, dancing around,
And I remember thinking - how could someone could be so pretty;
But you took my hand that night when I asked you to remember me."

And as he laid there that night, wallowing in his despair,
She stood in her front lawn, reading the letter he left there,
And with a tear in her eye, she falls down onto her knees:
"Baby, I remember you, but please - don't remember me."

'Round Here

An old man sits in a corner booth at the local bar,
As she lays on her back, crying under the broken stars,
And her love is shattered through her lonely eyes,
Blurred from his myriad of flawless lullabies.
But above his heart he holds the picture close,
Hating himself for leaving her for the life he chose,
And in the back of her mind, she paints a picture,
Dancing under an Amarillo sky, her life a blur,
And the whiskey takes its toll as she sighs:
'Here I sit alone and afraid, wallowing in his lies
and - I bet that other woman is the kind of pretty,
That I can only waste away to a mess and wish to be.'
And shaking her head she holds her hands to the sky,
Swearing under her breath and asking God why,
But in the middle of her rant, she hears a voice:
'My love you waste your days, but it's time to make a choice.'
And she looks to her right, as he steps in the light,
'Sorry for startlin' you but couldn't stop myself tonight,
I've spent too long watching you in despair, holding that memory,
And not once have you looked over there and noticed me,
But 'round here, we don't just cry for no damn reason Dear.'
And as he stopped, she stood staring at him fighting a crystal tear,
With her heart beating against her chest he lifted his hat and said:
'I may just be a lonely cowboy, reciting the thoughts in your head,
But if this is what it takes, I will get down on one knee,
All I ask is for once you look past your mistakes and you see,
The mistakes that made him into the man he wants to be.'
And as she held her hand out for him to take and hold,
He whispered: 'You put to shame those stars made of gold.'
And as a tear fell from her eye, she erased the picture in her mind,
For she knew the love she had was nothing to what she'd find,
With a smile on her face she turned her head up to the raven sky,
As he held her close and wiped her tears from her eyes.

Here's To The Night

In an old wooden workshop cluttered with sawdust,
She stands with brightly lit blue eyes, showing her trust,
And in his hand he holds the saw, making her toys out of wood,
For his baby girl with a freckled face, tired of being misunderstood.

And she holds his hand, with a smile across her face,
As she stands under the sun in her overalls and shirt of lace,
But in his eye, there lays a single golden tear -
Because he knows, a girl like her doesn't belong here.

And in his shirt pocket, right above his heart it lays,
The picture of him and her Mother, from better days,
But in his eyes, his heart beats faintly as he cries,
Because he knows, the memory of her love will never die...

Blonde hair sweeps over her shoulder blade as she stands,
Looking through the door of his old workshop, holding a wedding band,
And in her eyes, the pictures cloud - memories veiled in smiles,
But she holds her favorite one close, as she stands in denial -

For her estranged Father, sweet in his old age and liquored breath,
Didn't mean to run his truck off that old interstate to forget,
The love of his murdered wife and his kids that never could forgive him,
So he drank away his life, lying to the Priest telling him of his sins.

And as she holds his picture close to her trembling heart,
She closes her eyes and mutters to herself: "Here's to the part,
When I let go of the past, and do what he always thought was right,"
And with eyes bloodshot red she cries: "Here's to the night."

Reserve walking after you

Walking After You

In the garden blooming,
The flower's aroma stirs,
Mixing with the air,
In hormonal conquers,

This path paved with stone,
Carries us past thorns,
Our lungs gasp for air,
As the widowed are to morn,

Your path continues,
But mine was to end,
You grow wings to fly,
But fear my heart won't mend,

Past the ocean shore,
I will never touch,
You're gone forever,
And I know this much,

I watch the birds in envy,
As tears fall and fall,
A sadness overwhelming,
In invisible walls.

Goodbye, My Lover

Goodbye, the word you said to me,
When you could love me no more.
Goodbye, the word the broke my heart,
A pain I'd never felt before.
Goodbye, a dark foreboding path,
I am much to afraid to move on.
Goodbye, now I must say the word,
Stop me, before I'm gone.
Oh darling I cannot have this,
You lieing to me one more time,
Saying that you want me back,
The result is in this ryme.
I hope that you understand,
What your torture has done to me,
Because in my bedroom with only a gun,
Is where I now will be.
Goodbye, my lover,
This time I won't return.
Love is a bright fire,
And this time you get burned.

(dedicated to Carlene, I'm so you chose to die)

Thank-you for those who Re-Entered their poems.

The Reason

The reason
I am sitting here
In this dark room
Is you

The reason
I'm writing this sad poem
And letting my feelings out
Is you

The reason
I cry these tears
And hide my pain
Is you

The reason
I am not happy
And hardly smile
Is you

The reason
I have these scars
And bleed my blood
Is you

Im drunk again

The room spins around me,
as i try to stand tall,
but i have no choice but to fall.
my voice my only comfort,
as i sing a little song,
yet it starts fading in the heat, and i know that something's wrong.
my sweat a part of breathing,
my gasps a part of light,
i know that it is daytime, yet i think that it is night.
i'm waiting in my utopia,
mind banishing my fears,
once again i'm drunk, and this time it's on tears.

Xx Look What You've Done xX

Take a look
At what you've done
You lost it all
You haven't won

It's all your fault
You threw it away
Cos there's no way
I'm going to stay

Don't think I'm going
To hang around
I'm leaving at
The speed of sound

Don't want to hear
Your alibi's
I know you cheated
This is goodbye

You lost us both
Cos we found out
What your really
All about

Take a look
At what you've done
You're the loser
Cos I have won

Coming Back To Life

Yesterday I died
A torturous death -
I died at the hand of Love.

I was dragged to
The edge of reality
And by his strong hands I was shoved.

I fell forever
Into the darkened pit
Of never-ending pain.

I tumbled and tossed
Reaching for something to grab
But there was nothing - I grabbed in vain.

I continued to fall
Finally coming to rest
On a sharpened glimmering knife.

I had been murdered by Love,
And as my blood seeped from my body
I realized there was no coming back to life.

I Don't Love You Anymore

I've fallen in love so many times
Each time only to get hurt
I've given my heart, my soul, my life
And get nothing but pain in return.

But then I met you.
You said you'd love me forever
And I stupidly, naively,
Believed you.

I once loved you
Until I found you with her
But now I feel nothing -
I don't love you anymore.

I fought the anger
Fought away the tears
But the pain was excruciating,
Unbearably painful.

And for a while I was willing
To forgive you and give you a chance
You said you'd never hurt me again
And I believed you.

I tried to love you again
But once again I found you with her
And now I feel nothing -
I don't love you anymore.

Meanwhile

Daily I thought about you
Wondering where you were,
What you were doing
And if you were thinking of me,

But meanwhile you were out
Holding her hand
Kissing her
And forgetting all about me.

I would right you letters
Write you poems of love
In each declaring that my love for you
Would never come to an end.

Meanwhile you held my letters and poems up in the air
Just before you ripped them to pieces
Laughing it up
With all your friends.

I waited for your phone-call
Which only came once in a while
You said you still loved me
And that you would never leave.

But meanwhile you called me names
Insulted me behind my back
You lied to me and cheated on me
You laughed because I still believed.

Then one day I saw the truth
I cried for days
I felt so hurt
Deep inside.

Meanwhile you realized
That what you did was wrong.
You tried to apologise, but in vain -
I had already died...

Ok. I got all of u guys's updated.

Can't We Try?

You see, father.
It's been so long since we got along.
I just thought..
That just maybe we could try again.
It's been so long.
Way too long, Father.

I can't seem to go on.
Not without you in my life.
I just seem lonely,
Oh so empty inside; tired and weak.
It's getting too rough.
Too rough to move on.

You see, Father.
My life has changed just a wee bit.
No miracles at all..
Though, that's what I wish for.
I need you back.
I really need you back, Father.

I can't seem to get up.
Up from this horrible rut.
My anger is..
It's out of control, too hard to maintain.
I miss you so badly.
And, I can't get up.

You see, Father.
Though it's been this long..
I think it's worth it.
Worth it to give it another try.
Can't We Try?
Oh, can't we try father?

Just one more chance,
That's all either need.
Just one more time..
That's all I ask.
For, without you in my life..
It's getting too rough.

One more chance?
That's all I ask..
Can't we try?

Xx Forgiven But Not Forgotten - Double Etheree xX

You
Hurt me
With your words
And the things that
You would do to me
I always felt worthless
Whenever you were around
You were like a deadly toxin
An addiction I just couldn't beat
But no matter what you did, I loved you

Until one day I just snapped, upped and left
You begged me to come home, so I did
Forgiven but not forgotten
I loved you too much to go
But if you ever treat
Me like that again
You won't have a
Second chance
I'll be
Gone

*Gem*

Lost in the city
by J Lau

Wandering aimlessly,
In a city full of people.
So lost...
Mindless...
Nothing seems interesting anymore,
Nothing appears to the mind.
No sense of urgency,
No sense of time.

People all around you,
In a shopping spree.
Talking...
Laughing...
Browsing shops with their loved ones,
Looking for the perfect gift.
Some enjoying the moment,
Some rushing to get back home.

Walking alone quietly,
Without memories to claim my own.
Pacing...
Without purpose...
Just painstakingly waiting,
For a friendship on hold.
A relationship that never started,
Uncertain of its future.

Lost... in a city,
Counting... Every second.

~*~"Needle in the Hay"~*~

One day you were gone
You didn't say where
This is all so wrong
It's like you don't care

You were supposed to be there
You never showed up
It's always a scare
Haven't I had enough?

It has happened before
Our time you always spend
I can't do this anymore
Won't you just let it end?

Are you near? Are you far?
Why did it happen this way?
To just find out where you are
Is like a needle in the hay.

Thank you for those who RE-ENTERED their poems.

This contest is now CLOSED!!!

To those who re-entered their poem,

I will have the winners posted up soon. I will try to get them done tonight. If I don't get them done tonight then you guys will have to wait another day or two. I won't be here at all tomorrow assuming that I'm going to my good friends birthday sleepover party with 4 of my other friends.

I Miss You A Little

I miss you a little
But I should miss you a lot.
Hard to miss someone
You've almost forgot.

Every memory
Slowly fading away.
I don't try holding on
As they decide not to stay.

I used to fight harder
That's when I cried more
Sat by the phone all night
Sometimes by the door.

But when you didn't show
Time in and time out
And you lied to me so much
I put you in with my doubts.

I know you still love me
And I know you do care.
But words quit healing
The wounds you've left there.

So I healed them myself
By staying far away.
I didn't make any efforts
To pass by your way.

I missed you a little
I should have missed you a lot.
But it's hard to miss someone
You'd almost forgot.

Now I feel terrible
For treating you the same.
I knew how it felt
And now I'm to blame.

So here's an apology
From my heart to your own.
Though I know how it feels,
I won't leave you alone.
