Pee.ess I LOVE Seether. :]]

I would like to reserve : World falls away. Thanks ^^

WORLD FALLS AWAY

Descending from the border of the horizon that burns in sunset
With black-winged horses that lacerate the skies
The four knights of the apocalypse that have been sent
To punish the unworthy and entail fear and cries

East,West,North and South materialize the knights
That fly like shadowing ghosts over the mainlands;
The bastards condemned shall never see again the day's light
Their filthy blood will be impregnated in the lands

Each knight wears in his scabbard unique swords
Only four elements could define their natural meaning
Earth,Water,Fire and Air have chosen the lords
To appease the remains of the world by killing

Undercrofts were filled with deceased forsakens
Drowned or suffocated,caused by nature's Water and Air
Burnt alive...fierce Fire their lives had taken
Or buried alive...Earth murdered life maybe fair

Those doomed intentions and damned hearts
Knights of death have embraced the strong perdition
Apocalypse threw the victims in a fragmented dark
No more greatness for the humans is the main deception

Once the knight's sinful armours silenced all
Their scarred faces shall never be discovered
Nobody will know from where their swords rise or fall
Decades draw a veil and the kills remain covered...

I would also want to reserve ' Fade Away' . Thank you again ^^

FADE AWAY

Pure white dress and black silky hair
Trembling looks and hazel eyes that stare
She is laying at the edge of a cliff
Ready to give up everything..feeling so stiff

Her tears could darken the brightest rays
And frozen pieces of the sun for days and days
The story of her life is slowly passing by
Her lips are dry as she tries to scream: "why?"

Looking down...she sees the infinite abyss
As she is thinking of his last icy kiss
All the memories they had together..dreams..
Then the painful period covered with screams

She moans her emotion,his eyes,her being
His embrace,her love,his soul meaning
Her giddiness grew thinking off all this
Touching the edge...still the pain won't cease

Her numb face is drowned in farewell tears
Her mind is spinning...she can't see clear
This is the final step...she falls so deep
Bloody white dress...but nobody there to weep...

*Both of the poems I posted are old, but the titles I reseved seem to match somehow ^^. So, I hope you'll like it.

Dazed and abused plz....

The World Falls Away [Acrostic]

Things gone wrong in this world but all try to strive.
How to right our wrongs while we push to survive,
Everyone's special - yet some get deprived.

We're the same, there's no shame; evolutionary prime.
Only your parents stand sentinel, all around you is lies.
React on your emotion, with less devotion to pride.
Live together, you can forever decide not to collide.
Do unto others, because none of you can deny,

For the luxuries you allow help to starve the deprived.
All religion put aside, you have a chance to decide.
Living blind; now's the time to open your eyes,
Live life non belligerent. Have you really tried?
Subtle gestures in a time when real effort's to be applied.

An addict that sees the signs - no longer living blind,
Wishing he could stop and then truly tries.
A life lived in luxury - while others demise.
You could all live as equals with just a little compromise!

~Pete.

Sorry i didn't reserve - there was still a spot though. It's not new, but a re-write.

It's fine.

^^ to HOLLYWOODxBANGBANG you can do as many as you like.. as long as its open. :D

Kay, can I try Fake It
and Dazed and Abused
then too please?

OKAY... =D

C'mon guyz. gimme somethin to read!

Dazed and Abused

He's been out again
Working late hours
She's drowning herself
In a hot shower.

The pain is stinging
But keeps her awake
As she looks to reflect
On her biggest mistake.

She watches it glitter
Through tears in her eyes
Wish she could have read
Through sugar-coated lies.

But now that she knows
He doesn't even try
To hide what he's doing
On his late work nights

Once she tried to stand up
But got knocked back down.
Such a weak vessel
He can push around.

So her way of coping
Is laying in a tub
With a bottle of booze
And bruises to scrub.

They don't wash away
And memories don't fade
But for a few hours
They all turn to grey.

The doorknob rattles.
It's obvious he's back.
Her peace has ended
Over just like that.

He comes in to the room
To start up a fight
His conscience is dirty
And he doesn't feel right.

He tells her she's ugly
That she's not enough
And it's not fair of her
To expect him to love.

Then he hits her again
She refuses to break.
So he pounds and pounds
Till it's all she can take.

He leaves the bedroom
And watches T.V.
She goes to drown out
Her lifetime misery.

The ring on her finger
Is what keeps her there
But inside she knows
She just doesn't care.

A thousand tears shed
She is black and bruised
It's just one more night
Where she's dazed and abused.

Fade Away.
Hold on.

Hold on please

Sorry would have poted this sooner but i forgot which contest this poem was for, lol.

Fade Away (Trijan Refrain)

I ask my heart why do I cry,
To feel this pain inside,
Broken hearts should not have to lie,
Have all this pain to hide,
Sweet tragedy is all I feel,
This pain is just too real,
Sweet tragedy,
Sweet tragedy,
And now my heart will never heal.

I ask my heart why do I cry,
Let this pain get to me,
To wish that my soul would just die,
Finally be happy,
To be happy can never last,
And this love comes and goes so fast,
To be happy,
To be happy,
Fairy-tales for me will not past.

I ask my heart why do I cry,
Let her tear me apart,
And no matter how hard I try,
My love just wont depart,
I still love her, its what I fear,
All the pain I've felt and the tears,
I still love her,
I still love her,
Fading away, the end is clear.

Plz reserve me Fake It

thnx

Fake It

I can see right through you,
My 6-year best friend.
I had not a clue,
'Till your words seemed to bend.

As we pondered with worry,
And our hearts filled with shame,
Our friend walked up to me,
And your smile hid the blame.

I can see it in your face,
The way you want to cry.
But you keep your mask in place:
A decaying fake smile.

I keep my mask off,
And our friend seems to know,
That while mine has dropped,
Your facade starts to show.

But you whisper to me,
As she turns away,
"Girl, let it be...
Just pretend we're okay."

So I copy your mask,
As she turns back to us.
We all try to laugh,
While our true feelings rust.

Why do we have,
To pull of these stunts?
I think, as we laugh,
"My best friend's a dunce."

Hold On.

Personally it's a plan to kill,
fighting good and evil.
With swords and what-nots
slashing all about.

On second hand,
don't you think it's way too much,
to see it in my eyes -
the depths of society?

Yet, I can't seem to find
the reasons to answers
that were never even asked
by any of mankind.

And, personally I think
the questions never asked
are what we're fighting for
and answers we'll never receive.

Since, the last of the heroes
will end up dead, fighting for our fear-
why hold on? In all honesty . . .
we'll all fall someday with questions
still not asked.

OKAY. SORRY GUYS I KNOW I SAID IT WOULD END NOV.2 BUT I HAVE TO CHANGE THAT B/C IM VISITING FAMILY SOON. IM NOT ACCEPTING ANY MORE POEMS EXCEPT THE ONES THAT ARE RESERVED. PLEASE HAVE YOUR POEMS IN BY THE 18TH OR YOU WONT BE JUDGED..... AGAIN, IM VERY SORRY. WINNERS WILL BE POSTED OCT.20

Xx Hold On xX

Hold on to me darling
Squeeze on to me tight
I'll wrap my arms round you
All the way through the night

Hold on to me darling
I'll keep you safe from harm
There's no need for you now
To feel fear or alarm

Hold on to me darling
I'll cuddle you close
It's you that i'm loving
And caring for most

Hold on to me darling
And drift off to sleep
Close your tired eyes
I pray your soul to keep

Hold on to me darling
When you're feeling low
Hold on to me sweetheart
And never let go

*Gem*

This is still open? I got one done. Never knew you changed the deadline so I`m sorry if this is late now.

Dazed and Abused [Glosa Verse]

Lines originally sung by Miranda Lambert,
Song --> Gunpowder and Lead
--------------------------------------------------------------------

He slapped my face and he shook me like a rag doll,
Don`t that sound like a real man?
I'm gonna show him what a little girls made of,
Gunpowder and lead.

It`s a quarter past twelve and I can hear his truck,
Rumbling down the gravel road to me,
My heart may have just dropped to my toes,
But I`m not gonna let him sense the fear;
I light up a cigarette, open up a can of beer,
Waiting to hear his voice make the call.
He doesn`t know it yet, but I bet y`all he will,
When he opens the door and looks at me,
I know it already that he expects me to take the fall --
He slapped my face and he shook me like a rag doll.

Ten years ago, before they hauled him away,
It may have been different, I`d take the pain,
But these lonely years gave me time to do the thinkin`
That should have been done so long ago.
I rode the hour hand on the clock for a few months,
Living off of midnight cigarettes and no plan,
But the clock ticked away the time he spent in the slammer,
Doing the time for what I knew he`d do again.
With fury, he tells me I`m lucky that I never ran,
Don`t that sound like a real man?

Maybe if it would have clicked before it came to this,
That I should have held onto my pride,
And that I should have ran when I had the chance,
Than we wouldn`t be standing here tonight,
Fighting it out like we used to.
And I can`t remember a time when we were in love,
It`s been way too long now, I`m too far gone,
But if I`m gonna be alone, than I`d rather do it on my own,
I`ve had enough of this, I need to rise above --
I'm gonna show him what a little girls made of.

Ten years in the county jail, and it still doesn`t hit him,
So if the truth doesn`t kick him down, I will;
I`ve never owned up to my full potential,
I`ve spun my self worth around and around in circles,
And I`ve let him throw me and my heart around,
But if I would have just let my heart do the talking instead,
I wouldn`t be standing here, back at the start of this mess.
Dazed and abused, I think I`ve had just about enough,
And this gun is gonna explain all I`ve never said --
Gunpowder and lead.

Glosa-Verse: A Spanish form invented by court poets in the 14th and 15th centuries. An opening quatrain, called a 'cabeza' is chosen from another poet, or song. The glosa elaborates or 'glosses' on the quatrain with four ten line stanzas, their concluding lines taken consecutively from the quatrain and their sixth and ninth lines rhyming with the borrowed tenth.

Fake It [Trijan Refrain]

Whiskey tears drown away sorrow,
Of a broken down heart,
Wishing for a good tomorrow,
She picks his lies apart.
"At least fake it," She slowly sighs,
With tears crawling into her eyes,
..........................."At least fake it,
...........................At least fake it,
Or make up a better disguise."

Whiskey tears drown away sorrow,
Deep into the black night,
As she falls, she tries to borrow,
Grace from the stars so bright.
"At least fake it," She screams aloud,
Using lines for a vacant crowd,
..........................."At least fake it,
...........................At least fake it,
So I can hold my head up proud."

Whiskey tears drown away sorrow,
Of a year too far gone,
There`s always a new tomorrow,
And pain doesn`t last long.
"I won`t fake it anymore, no,
I know I`ve gotta let you go;
...........................I won`t fake it,
...........................I won`t fake it,
`Cuz the love was gone long ago."

World Falls Away

She took it as harshly as any other girl would,
The day that he turned his back and walked,
And she did her best to smile, did all she could;
Trying not to cry as their old friends talked.

They asked her what she`s been doing, since he`d gone,
And she boasted a practiced fake smile as she said:
"I`ve been smiling, been laughing, gosh, I`ve moved on,
He`s nothing to me anymore, but a memory in my head."

They looked around at one another, then back at her,
And at that moment, she knew what they were thinking,
But what are you supposed to say, when it`s all a blur,
And your hold on your self control is slowly sinking?

She held her composure for another minute or two,
Before she thought up some old excuse to leave,
The same as before, going to do something new,
To try and keep her mind off of the absence to grieve.

And she ripped off all of the sheets that had your scent,
She re-painted the walls, a pretty and calm baby blue,
With a match, she lit up all the letters she came to resent,
And she tore apart all of the old pictures of her and you.

When your world falls away, into a place so unknown,
What else are you to do, when you get the bad news?
When your world falls away, and leaves you behind,
What are you gonna do, when there`s nothing else to lose?

With much needed poise, she ignored the shadows on the wall,
Because the ghost in army green was doing her no good,
In a world so big, she was becoming so lost, so damn small,
But in her darkest hour, she laughed -- the best she could.
