SAD POEM CONTEST!

Another Picture To Burn [Terzanelle]

by Bri [x]

How pessimistic it is; just another picture to burn.
Ashes, ashes -- bringing your lies & deceit to a crumble.
How pessimistic it is; just another picture to burn.

They'll be no downfall; I won't stumble.
Allowing memories to disintegrate into thin air.
Ashes, ashes -- bringing your lies & deceit to a crumble.

Disguising yourself, burying that affair.
Flutter, flutter [fly away into the wind].
Allowing memories to disintegrate into thin air.

Running; far from yourself. [[Shh]] nobody knows you have sinned.
Reality crumbling beneath your feet.
Flutter, flutter [fly away into the wind].

One step forward, two steps back & [[delete]].
Crush down walls made of all your lies.
Reality crumbling beneath your feet.

Never look back -- fact; you can't revise.
How pessimistic it is; just another picture to burn.
Crush down walls made of all your lies.
How pessimistic it is; just another picture to burn.

Our Song

I deleted you of my phone; I didn't know what else to do.
I couldn't stand the lies and everything you put me through.
All the letters have been thrown away because you couldn't care less.
Just go away, leave me alone, I can deal with this mess.

The heartache will go away; the tear drops, they will fade-
I'll burn the pictures on the wall as with the memories made.
No longer do I need your love to hold me strong;
Because everything is right now and you are just wrong.

The pillow no longer holds the makeup the tears washed away-
No longer does my calendar mark our special day.
Everything is fine now, I'm moving on alone.
You were always trouble; I guess I should've known.

I only have one down fall, it's sad, some may say.
I can't help if because it's with me everyday.
It's the one thing keepng me holding out so long-
Baby, it's the lyrics and the melody of Our Song.

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

A Phone Call

You promised me you were just a phone call away;
That not matter what, you'd listen to what I'd say-
But now you're gone; my heart left so broken;
By all the words that are still left unspoken.

I need to tell you things I've kept bottled up inside;
I need to let the tears out, now that I can no longer cry.
You were always there for me, to wipe tears off my face-
What am I to do without your sweet, loving embrace?

I reach for the phone, your number stuck in my head;
I dial blindly, trying not to recall what they had said.
"He's gone. I'm sorry. There was nothing we could do,
But he left a note and it's written for you."

Reading it over the phone, I broke down and cried.
I just couldn't believe that he could ever die.
"Babe, I love you, but this world's too tough.
I'm sorry to leave you, to deal with all this stuff.

I know it's not fair, but my life was too cruel;
Please don't think badly, for I am the fool.
Just remember the way I used to be.
Please, move on, just for the sake of me."

The rest of the words slurred as I spun around the room.
I felt like I was encased inside a closed tomb.
My knees got weak and then I fell to the floor;
I looked up and all I saw was the bedroom door.

I don't remember falling asleep, but it hit me when I woke-
The ringing in my ears was the words they had spoke.
"No!" I screamed as I stumbled and fell hard.
I knew that my life would be permanently scarred.

Getting up slowly, using the bed as a crutch,
I went to grab my phone, but it was cold to the touch.
Crying now, I couldn't believe what I had heard;
Trying to remember the words that were slurred.

"He said that he wanted you to have better friends-
It isn't your fault that his life came to an end."
I tried to believe him, but the effort, in vain.
My best friend was gone; now there's pain.

Hurting are my sides; tired were my eyes-
I never had cried so much, I realized.
It's truly over; I could believe it at all-
It all ended with A Phone Call.

If tears could cure
Would you cry everyday
If you shared them with me
Would you promise to stay

If I cried for you
At least once a minute
Would you understand my heart
Would you let yourself in it

If I told you I'm sorry
With all of the tears in the world
Would you understand
Would you my girl

It seems this distance
Is breaking you from me
Sometimes your there
Other times I'm so Lo-ne-ly

It's like my "I love yous"
Aren't real
There completely fake
Why is this love for some reason
Completely at stake

I've only gave you my heart
Everyday that ends in Y
You've done the same
These tears I cry

I sit here alone
In the middle of a war
Crying out for your love
It's you I adore

One tear hits the ground
Two tears hit the floor
Three tears hit your cheek
Watch out here comes four

My tears yearning for your love
Otherwise they wouldn't go to find you
My tears escape my face
Begging for your I love yous

Sweetheart, My love, My baby
What it may be
Please look in the mirror
And think of how your hurting me

The distance is unreal
My life here a game
Your keeping me up
Your keeping me sane

I couldn't take a goodbye
It would tear me apart
It would end my dreams
It would throw away our new start

I write this to tell you
I love you so much
But if you must say goodbye
Please do it very gently and with much love.

My Wall

Feeling Alone,
Isolated,
Deserted,
In A Place Where You Think People Don't Care,
Knowing Deep Down Inside,
You're Only Isloating Yourself

Wanting To Open Up,
Express Your Feelings,
but All you Think About Is People Laughing,
Laughing At What You'll Say,
Laughing At You,
Thinking You'll Seem Crazy in Their Eyes.

Knowing People May Feel The Same Way You Do,
You're Still Afraid,
Afraid To Open Up.

Putting A Wall Up,
Trying To Block Out The Pain,
But Not Knowing That Once You Put That Wall up,
You're Also Blocking Out The Joy.

Once You open Up And Tear Down That Wall,
You'll Seize To Know That You Had Nothing To be Afraid Of After All.

I just can't believe, after all this time,
I thought there was progress in making you mine.
I would flirt across the room, and a smile you did give,
But this cannot repay me for the pain I must now live.

After all I've tried to do, after all I've cried for you,
After all I meant to say, after all what I thought was true.
I kept wishing on my star, to just get a chance,
To get something more then just another glance...

Then I find out you have a girl, she isn't me,
I thought I had a chance, but now I see.
I was wrong all along, I should've known,
But I must stay strong, the pain can't be shown.

After all I've done to show, how much I cared,
After all I meant to be, but you were never there.
I kept on wishing. I kept praying. I kept trying.
You smiled back. You laughed. But you were lying.
