Poet Talk discussion

Again the memories come in my mind
Again my mind go back to the past time
I am trying to forget those memories which hurts my heart badly day and night
But i donn't love the person to forget him one day
I love the person to stay with him,through out my life...

I don't know why i love you?
I always trying to know why i love you??
And After 3 years i got the answer,I love you because i belive you,i trust you,wanna spend time with you,i need you,wanna die with you....
But i was wrong
I don't have to love you,not to belive you,not to want you,not to need you,not to spend my life with you,not to die with you
Yes,i am right this time:)
you was a unknow person to me....
How could i belive you i really want to foeget you and have to start new life ahead:")

Painful Love
Watching you from across the room,sends searing pain through my heart.i think back to a year ago,when i though we'd never part.
My love for you just won't die down it just grows with eachnew day,i wish you'd dare to look me and hear what i have to say
"I LOVE YOU" and i want you back
you don't seem to remember them,all the memories i hold dear
You were my first kiss,my first love and now you don't even care how would you just blow it away?we were the perfect pair,you seem content to let me go,you're doing fine as you are,while i am still missing how we were,we had the best love by far.

You say you’re clumsy
You say that you bruise too easily
You say you have bad luck
You say your hand-eye coordination sucks
You say your boyfriend loves you
You say your love is true
But tell me,
Why do his “love taps” hurt so much?
Why does his love make you want to cut?
I know you,
You’re not clumsy, you see.
You have never bruised until your boyfriend said he loved you.
His fists aren’t full of love, but anger.
Tell me, why is to you that love is such a stranger?

-Austin Blackstone

Shhh
can you hear that girl
begging to be heard
struggling to keep quiet?


no
of course you can't
because you never could
you are deaf to your own daughter

so
don't be suprised if
she is suddenly dead
or if she cuts too deep

because
you can't hear her
you can't see her
screaming through her fingers

she
is trying her best
to be a good girl
to be so very happy

but
she has figured out
(on her own, by the way)
that it's not that easy

everyone
sees her as a fun happy girl
and sure, sometimes she is
but most of of time she's not

what
has happened to the girl
that she once was
what has she become

if
she looks in the mirror now
she doesn't know the person in it
she has lost herself and she can't heal


so
go ahead, shut her up
listen to the lies she spins
as she slowly crumbles away

There are those good dreams,
when you’re right by side as I wake up in the dream.
We don’t worry about the future, we just think of now.
You’re not just that “in the moment” person, because the moments pass,
but your personality, your identity, and smile always lasts....
Those “in the moments” pass because we have many, many moments in our lives. We have many days in our lives, many years meant to be spent with you.
It’s still amazing that your personality is a part of my reality.
I’m not gonna’ lie,
I’m not the best at not hurting people,
because I do slip up sometimes.
I will eventually hurt you.
But I will not leave you there.
I will fix my mistakes towards you because I care.
I don’t want to hurt you, but sometimes I will.
I don’t want to make a promise that I won’t hurt you, for I’ve learned that I sometimes will.
But I do promise to do by best to not hurt you.
I will hold you, not cut you down.
Even though we have many years in our lives,
I’m glad for the years we had together,
and for the years to come.

When I first met you, I knew you weren't good.
Uh-uh, sugar, he's not the man for you.
Shook my head, was quiet, stayed away.
It wasn't long before the monster started to knaw on me-
ugly, loner, loser, freak-
and on a day that you can't even remember you were there for me.
You softened my edges and made me laugh
even though I hated it.
You made me into a little twelve-year-old girl, believing in love again.
You made me so happy
in such a dark time.
And I thought you might be different,
thought we could be happy.



I was wrong.
You left me to rot.
You went off and laughed with your friends, and listened to your music, and I watched as girls came and went with you.
I thought you understood.
I was wrong.
I gave you the keys to my soul, and you broke in and took everything.
And then when you finished, you took a bucket of red paint and wrote HA all over the inside of me.
No.
Not paint.
Knives.
You carved HA with knives all over the inside of me, so the blood dripped down.
I thought you loved me as much as I love you.
I was wrong.

oh..wow...your an amazing writter...I can relate to thsi pice so much...its beautiful, so good

My legs against my chest press out the life in me,
breath by breath I am being emptied
my long hair tangles around my face, hiding it from the rest
voices around me try to help
an unknown hand slides up and down my back
and tears from my cheeks are whipped away by a warm finger
that burns against my cold skin


I breath in and out
wishing death would take me to
but its selfish and stubborn, it doesn't want me
I beg for it to come
but it just laughs and drifts away taking my soul
and leaving me with the darkness of life
His laugh burns my thoughts
and his whispers at night make me wonder if I have gone mad
but his just a memory after all

I had to write this one for home work:

Holding a blade in the dark
Once a fear, no a need
Peple whisper and stay away
Expecting her to disolve into
Lies and secrets
Escape the only thing on her mind
Silence her loudest cry,
Scars under her sleeves and carvings on her hips

This is me:http://www.wattpad.com/user/JazzCat16 Constant Thoughts and My Poetry is where my poetry is at.

Post-Nuclear Apocalyptic poem:

"Him, Her, and a Dirt World"

They say the world was made in 6 days,
But it died in an instant.
I can’t believe this.
I used to take Highway 100 to school everyday.
I was used to walking into the building,
Sitting down for a quick breakfast and
And having a little time to socialize.
Talking with guys about cars
Or talking with girls about poetry.
That’s how school was.
That’s how my life was.
But without it, I don’t know what to do or where to go.
I mean,
I had no idea that this would happen.
The world just blew up in a green array of darkness
That created the light that made us so blind
To the world that we were living in
And the fact that this day would come.
The foundation that I once stood on is now in ruins,
The floors that kept me up on my feet have crumbled into the ground, And now most of the souls on this planet are nowhere to be found.
Except for my wife’s soul.
Whatever is left of her.
Whatever is left of this world.
My heart skipped a beat when I saw her,
And now only in a few moments will my heart skip the rest.
My legs aren’t able to stand on their own anymore
Because they are slowing losing strength,
Strength That got annihilated in the aftershock and the radiation.
The same radiation creeping into my lungs
Threatening to burn me from the inside out
I’m almost gone.
When I said
“Till death do us part,”
But I didn’t know that it would be so soon.
So soon would this world come to my feet in awe of life and survival.
I’m afraid to carry on because I don’t want to see what the dirt world has left to offer.
But I’m also too scared to not carry on because I want her to be of hope,
To be of courage.
I don’t want her to be lifeless.
I need her to be of strength.
I need my own strength.
I need another day.
I don’t know if I would be able to make it.
If I keep on fighting,
Then where will I find rest?

Fear of Another Day

There are things that I feel I cannot say
For sometimes we have a price to pay
I don’t want them to get in the way
If it hurts them, then friends shouldn’t stay
All of these things left me to rust
My only friend is now the dust
And now I’m here to fade
Where my cold body lay

I’m a man stuck in a warrior’s armor
I feel your warmth, it’s getting farther
I’m always waiting to lose the connection
Just a little while longer until it’s rejection
So far I’ve found no exceptions
What I thought was, actually was a deception
It’s the cold that comes out to play,
It’s my fear of another day

It’s only a matter of time
When the world tears you apart like you’re a crime
When there becomes emotions shown
It’s time to be left alone
You know everything will fall apart
It’s just a matter of where it will start
Turn back the clock to way before
Right when your knees hit the floor

The angel within
Is dying
Unable to hold herself up again
The wings slowly bleeding
Tears that are pouring
From all the harm she has been caused
Her wings are tainted from the poison
That she has drank
Knowing her death slowly awaits
Broken wings, torn feathers
And everyone knows she cannot
last forever
All because her heart
Has been shattered
Shallow breaths, forgotten dreams
With one last breath
She lays dead
Not wanting to be saved
Ever again

This was so stunning and beautiful. Wonderful job, Rose. :)

Heaven

Does heaven have a phone number?
Mommy went to heaven,
but I need her here today.
My tummy hurts and I fell down;
I need her right away.

Operator, can you tell me
how to find her in this book?
Is heaven in the yellow part?
I don't know where to look.

I think my daddy needs her too,
at night I hear him cry.
I hear him call her name sometimes,
but I really don't know why.

Maybe if I call her,
she will hurry home to me.
Is heaven very far away?
Is it across the sea?

She's been gone a long, long time-
she needs to come home now!
I really need to reach her.
I simply don't know how.

Help me find the number, please.
Is it listed under "heaven"?
I can't read these big, big words;
I am only seven.

I'm sorry, operator,
I didn't mean to make you cry.
Is your tummy hurting too--
or is there something in your eye?

If I call my church
maybe they will know.
Mommy said when we need help
that's where we should go.

I found the number to my church
tacked up on the wall.
Thank you, operator
I'll give them a call.

Not Titled

Near to the door
he paused to stand
as he took his class ring
off her hand
all who were watching
did not speak
as a silent tear
ran down his cheek
and through his mind
the memories ran
of the moments they walked
and ran in the sand (hand in hand)
but now her eyes were so terribly cold
for he would never again
have her to hold
they watched in silence
as he bent near
and whispered the words
"I love you" in her ear
as he put on his ring and wanted to die
and just then the wind began to blow
as they lowered her casket
into the snow...
this is what happens
to man alive...
when friends let friends
drink and drive.

The first day when a saw him
The black shirt he wear and the beautiful eyes from which he was watching me
and the way he looked to my face
I was totally fall in love with him in just 2 hours
How beautiful that movement was
But now i just ask my self that why you left me my love?
What was a fault in me?
I love you more than every thing in this world
The face which was looking innocent that was just a feak face:(
I cant even forget the time which we spend together....

You're out of my life
it hurt at first but now I'm alright
I decided to not listen to your lies anymore
it's over it's through I've closed my door
so many times I've been played as a fool
at first you were a good person but now you're just cruel
you said if I would wait one day we would be together
but I'm moving on with my life I can't wait on you forever
hopefully one day soon you'll find it isn't nice
to find the one you love being with someone else each night
i must admit the times we spent together were great
now you've grown into something, something I can only hate
the other girl doesn't realize you've been playing her too
but it's ok you belong together cuz she's just like you
I'm glad I finally gave up on something that was never there
you can't be with two people that's just not fair
you should have told me the truth from the very start
instead of playing your game and breaking my heart
I hope you regret what you have done to me
and try to get me back while begging on your knees
but this time I'll be smart and leave you behindbecause when you say you want me I know you're lying
you had so many chances but you took too long
I feel better now knowing you're finally gone

Loyal Customer
Are you happy now?
You created me
you stripped the life off my bones
you walk around in my dreams
haunting me.
I scream and scream
willing you away.
I hit and cry and cut and wish it'd end.
Are you proud?
You turned a sweet girl into a freak
an innocent girl into a zombie
you raked your nails down my soul
scarring me.
I am dark.
I am a shadow.
Drifting along in my empty life.
I was once a star
and you were my sun.
But now you're the pharmacist and I'm taking your drugs
one by one.
I hope you're happy with your creation
you're loyal customer,
because I haven't been happy

for a long time.

Fear of Another Day

There are things that I feel I cannot say
For sometimes we have a price to pay
I don’t want them to get in the way
If it hurts them, then friends shouldn’t stay
All of these things left me to rust
My only friend is now the dust
And now I’m here to fade
Where my cold body lay

I’m a man stuck in a warrior’s armor
I feel your warmth, it’s getting farther
I’m always waiting to lose the connection
Just a little while longer until it’s rejection
So far I’ve found no exceptions
What I thought was, actually was a deception
It’s the cold that comes out to play,
It’s my fear of another day

It’s only a matter of time
When the world tears you apart like you’re a crime
When there becomes emotions shown
It’s time to be left alone
You know everything will fall apart
It’s just a matter of where it will start
Turn back the clock to way before
Right when your knees hit the floor

My dearest

You're the most beautiful thing there is life in me,
Your beautiful eyes, your sweet voice, your cute smile
your beautiful words,
I don't know what I need without you,
I love you and I keep your faithfulness,
Five words: you are perfect for me!

that one moment

the day I saw you
and you looked at me
that one moment
I had never known
I never knew it existed

It made me hot
It left me not going
I went to stand beside you
and touched you
When aren't you exited

before I could say what
was you all away again
now I think to you every day
that one moment that I saw you

I'm sitting here waiting
Maybe that you come
that one moment that I've known
I forget never

I hope I'm yours
1 more time meet
though you say than nothing
I have something
that one moment

"love"
Roses wilt
perishing roses
Wilt in flowerbeds
but love remains

love that still to come
love from the past
love not existing out of hatred
heat that is given

in love in the beginning
in love, weird feeling
in what sense are in love
How is it anyway?

dreams, hours on end
dreams to no other
dreams all alone
your life has changed

Mystery Of A Miracle...



The World is like a piece
Of a puzzle,
The Mystery of a Miracle
Lies somewhere in the right part
Of our vision...

Why is that we cry?
Just to feel relieved;
When our hearts overload...
Or to express oneself more,
With extra emotions?

Miracles happen all the time,
When a cloud takes shape
And when stars align...
Even when a tree grows blossoms,
And when Earth cries - Rain...

Mysteries we tend to solve;
Why not solve our longing
For the solving?
Rather than hunt for an anomalous
Critter, that is perhaps perfect alone...

Alone we never want to be left,
Why? We came here alone...
So is that a mystery that time
Never delays..? No matter how
Much we hope and pray for 'that' Miracle...

*Blinding*

Love makes you blind
Why can't it just show you the way?
All it seems to do
Is complicate.

Some things never change
But some things try to
All my mind does
Is think about you.

Why do my thoughts never shut up?
I can't sleep at night
When you're on my mind
Over and over again words materialize.

Even though the words
Always make me smile
It gets annoying
After a while.

Ya know, I'd like sleep
At least once
Geez, acting like
The Brady Bunch.

But when I do
Catch my dreams
They just hover
And haunt me.

Love is a monster
Something so cold
Love's a roller coaster
That's getting old...

But it's also warm and fuzzy
You hold it close to your heart
It's like your swinging a bat
Blindly at Nothing in the dark.

Light drags itself into my sleep
Its fingers trying to force open my eyelids
My hand reaches out
draping darkness around my shoulders

The stories that light can tell me
Are no pleasure
how it can show me
my own shadow is more awake than my self

I think to my self
a bookless library
empty
my body slowly rotting

I am surprised that others cant smell it
the decomposition of paranoia

I was once sad and lonely,
Having nobody to comfort me,
So I wore a mask that always smiled;
To hide my feelings behind a lie.

Before long, I had many friends;
With my mask, I was one of them.
But deep inside, I still felt empty,
Like I was missing a part of me.

Nobody could hear my cries at night
For I designed my mask to hide the lies.
Nobody could see the pain I was feeling
For I designed my mask to be laughing.

Behind all the smiles were the tears
And behind all the comfort were the fears.
Everything you think you see,
Wasn't everything there was to me.

Day by day,
I was slowly dying.
I couldn't go on,
There was something missing..

Until now I'm still searching
For the thing that'll stop my crying.
For someone who'll erase my fears,
For the person who'll wipe my tears.

But till then I'll keep on smiling.
Hiding behind this mask I'm wearing.
Hoping one day I can smile,
Till then, I'll be here.. waiting.

What love is?
i reality which we face every day with bad and good times,moments
why cant just we stop it by remembering the past stuff
why its so hard too go on with this life where always the past in our mind...
hah....
its just like a roses
when its fresh its looks good when its get old we dont like it..
its just a fantacy world
nothing else

Alone on Sea

Alone i lay on a wooden raft
Alone i stay in the dark
Alone i pray to survive
Alone i may not survive

Alone i look out the sea
Alone i wake up on the sea
Alone i seek out for help
Alone i may not survive

Alone i eat my dry food
Alone i drink the salty water
Alone i sit in the cold
Alone i may not survive

Alone, yes, alone i stare at the storm
Alone, yes, alone i live on the sea
Alone, yes, alone i wait for the rescue boat
Alone, yes, alone i may not survive

Alone, yes, alone i pray to be safe
Alone, yes, alone i call out for help
Alone, yes, alone i get on the boat
Alone, yes, alone i was rescued

Alone, yes, alone i lived on sea for months
Alone, yes, alone i walk ashore unaided
Alone, yes, alone i continue to hold the
Guinness World Record for survival at sea

Romantic Love
Romance is a must for most young hearts
Gestures of love broken in tiny parts
A dozen roses, a chocolate heart,
Writing a poem with all your heart,
A cute little card with x’s and o’s
Sittin’ by the fire warming your toes
A candle lit dinner down by the beach
You both come in a pair not in a peach
Long conversations late into the night
Love is there and romance is in sight
Just a bear hug for you just like this
Romance is even just the right kiss…

Take me away to some place real
Let the fish fly
Turn my bones into wings
And let my demons be killed



Show me home
Wrap your arms around my future
Shape it to your will
And let our kisses turn to foam

Let your dreams grow
Let faith arrive
Feathers belong in the sky
Count my bones and kiss my hope

Bury my past behind goodbye
Whisper our future hello
Let your comfort rest on my shoulders
My scars will heal with time


Let me dance in your arms
let the wind take the lead
our souls will find their home
and free the world of harm

You lit the shadows with fire
You made them run away
You said lets go find home
You rescued me from the liar

Take me away to some place real
Let the fish fly
Turn my bones into wings
And let my demons be killed



As long as we are together
I will leave the rest behind

Dead Lake

Somewhere out walking,
We hit a patch of thin ice.
I’m the only one going under;
Black water chokes my cries.

It fills my lungs and eyes,
I can’t see a thing.
Where are you now?
Why aren’t you saving me?

The further I sink,
The colder it gets.
And my heart fills
With solemn regrets.

I gave you my heart,
And you threw it away.
Now life is dark.
Now life is pain.

You’d think you would help me,
But you just walk away.
Here I am sinking,
Night fades into day.

You come back for me,
Along with the sun.
It’s too late for me now
What have you done?

My face peers up at you
From beneath the ice.
Frozen and cold.
Dead are my eyes.

A lump in the snow
Is all that remains
Of the love we once shared.
How it fills you with pain.

My voice comes calling;
It haunts you at night.
My body comes crawling;
How it fills you with fright.

Now think back
To a time
When I was yours,
And you were mine.

Before death,
Before pain,
Back when you still
Knew my name.

We walked that land;
The lake had shined;
Hand in hand;
It teemed with life.

We laughed and cried,
We shared our time,
And then you left me
There to die.

Did I ever matter?
Did you ever care?
Did you only wish to send me
Straight to nowhere?

How kind of you
To take the time,
To make me a grave,
To be all mine.

Here in the snow,
By the edge of the lake,
I didn’t know this would be
The price I would pay,

To have you,
To hold you,
To love you,
Or to know you.

But it is better to love,
And to feel such pain,
Then to have never
Learned your name.
But I am noticing,
I’m slowly starting to change.

I’ve seen a different side of you
Then I ever have before.
Too late,
Too bad,
I’m at deaths door,

Been welcomed in,
To burn in a fire
Full of hatred and desire.

For what you’ve done
I feel such hate.
Yet I wonder if maybe,
Just maybe,
It was fate.

You’re broken now,
You need to mend.
To my heart,
Dead letters sent.

Nightmares,
All alone.
Cold stares,
You’re on your own.

But you know I’m there,
And I still care.
But I leave you
To wallow
In your own despair.

For what sympathy
Can I feel?
For a cold,
Heartless,
Slimy eel.

When you left me for dead,
Should I not do the same?
And let you freeze in your bed?
With your empty name?

Because now it is empty,
Just like your heart,
Back when you said
“Till death do us part.”

Well now it has come,
And I am still here.
Tell me, can you
Feel the fear?

Let it seep
Into your bones.
Let it bite,
That evil cold.

Its what I felt,
Beneath that ice.
Even a strong heart
Can’t survive.

But I’ll be free,
You wait and see.
But for now ill stay,
And watch you pray,
For forgiveness
You may never claim.

Tell me,
Have you done this before?
Cold bodies
Dumped at heavens door.

Is love to you
A waste of time?
Is this just
Some pointless rhyme?

Is death to you
A quench for thirst?
Or does it just
Fill you with more hurt?

But fancy that,
Who would’ve known?
Now you are
All alone.

But look at her,
What a pretty girl.
You’d love to show her
Your sick world.

You welcome her in,
And lock the door.
Yet all of it
Is unbeknownst to her.

You will put her on
A merry-go-round
Full of beautiful creatures,
And lovely sounds.

And she’ll get lost,
Just like me.
Shell feel happy,
Loved and free.

But when she’s not looking,
You lustfully stare
At her full, flushed cheeks,
And flowing hair.

She’s trapped inside
Your twisted snow globe.
Flurries of lies,
You’re stooping so low.

She doesn’t know you
For what you really are:
You break, you batter,
Bruise and scar.
Yet you claim the victim
Is who you are.

I watch it all,
You feel my stare.
And she is oh so
Unaware!

Should I play cruel jokes?
Should I whisper crude names?
Should I hide in her bed
My dead remains?

Or should I tell her what you are,
And what you’ve done to me?
And maybe somehow
Set her free?
For I would have wanted
The same for me.

But to be a ghost
Means to be alone.
You cannot tell,
You cannot show.

You can only haunt
And craze the sane,
By slamming doors,
And calling names.

So I’ll just sit
And watch and wait
And my dead heart shall
Keep filling with hate.

As life turns to death,
And fears turn to fate,
Memories turn to regrets,
And love turns to hate.

And so it has been,
And so it shall be
For the pitiful ghosts,
Woe is me.

Every day I recall my death,
And that last sharp
Intake of breath
Before I plunged into water dark.

Icy lake,
A beautiful place,
Where I spent my days
With true love faked.

But now I’m scared,
I can see tears on your lashes.
Tonight is different.
My love rises from the ashes.

And to me your tears
Confirm my fears.
Your dying inside,
And I know the reason why.

You regret what you’ve done,
And what you didn’t.
Only true death
Can keep frozen limbs
From swimming.

Tears pour down
From broken skies;
Truth seeps out
Of broken lies.

Now you’re sorry,
Just in this moment.
As you remember.
Your heart is broken


This is the you
That I always knew
When I was alive.
More saltwater
Pours form your eyes.

I wrap my arms around you,
So happy that we’ve found you.
I’ve been waiting so long.
My heart’s breaking with your sobs.

But you can’t feel me,
You can’t see me,
But you still need me.

It drives me to tears myself,
But the tears never come.
Good girls don’t die,
And dead girls can’t cry.

I’d like to sing to you,
Put you to sleep,
It’s breaking me
To see you weep.

And here she comes,
The new me.
Now she’s here
To set you free.

For what comfort can be found
In cold, dead hands?
She holds great promises of
Faraway lands.

Let her comfort embrace you.
Tell yourself that its love true,
For she can give you
What I cannot.

Fill old love
With an empty heart.

Cold winter days,
Warm summer nights,
She’s there with you
Through it all,
And it burns me alive.

Or dead
I should say,
And dead
I shall stay,
For you never did want me,
Though you now say
“She’ll always haunt me,
To the end of my days”.

She wraps her arms around you,
Says she knows what you have been through.
But that is all a lie,
She doesn’t know half.

She knows that I am dead,
That I haunt your every thought
But of the murder you have committed
She knows naught.

But you accept her comfort,
And I wan t you to take it.
I do not wish to ever
See you forsake it.

To love someone,
Even after death,
Will fill you with hate
And with regrets.

Love and hate,
Smiles and tears,
Fears and fate,
All there through the years.

I miss you,
My love.
I want you back.
Why can’t you push aside
What I lack?

Warmth and blood
Are odd things.
Enjoyed by the living,
But not by me.
I’m begging you,
Please set me free!

But how long must she wait
To meet the same fate?

But how I’d love
To dry your eyes
And have your lips
Connect with mine.

And hold you
In my arms once more,
For you are the one
That I adore.

Tell me,
Can you feel my pain?
Can you hear me
Sigh your name?

You’ve cried and cried,
She dries your eyes,
Now you’re so happy
You could die.

She fills you up,
But you’ll tear her down;.
You’ll turn her smiles
Into frowns.

Just give it time,
I’ll give it space,
And it will all
Fall into place.

Maybe some day
I’ll find you again,
And I’ll feel love
Empty of sin.

And you’ll love me back,
Without wishing my death,
And yearning to steal
My last breath.

You’ll love me true,
You’ll love me kind,
You’ll love me with love
Quite hard to find.

But I do not wish
To see your death
Or witness your last
And final breath.

For who knows
Where it is you’ll go?

Will you follow me?
Will we both be free?
Or will we be damned
Eternally?

Where were the angels
When I died?
Did they all just watch me
And mourn and cry?

Is there some kind of
Broken rule
That I did not learn of
In Sunday school?

Could they not save me
The way I died?
A frozen death
Beneath the ice?

But enough about me
And my sad ghost,
Who is the one
You love the most?

I know the answer,
Sure and true,
I know it’s always been
You.

Why else would you leave me
To my death
And only take another step
Away from happiness,
Away from love?

Away from the world
That’s up above?

Now I don’t know where to go.
I’ve said it all,
Nice and slow.

I cannot leave,
I cannot stay,
Why can’t I
Just fade away?

And join my family
Up in heaven?
Is that not the promise
I was given?

I did my best,
I really did,
And from most sins,
I usually hid.

There were a few
That slipped right by.
But I said I was sorry,
I even cried.

That’s all right,
I’ll find my way.
For now ill just wait
Another day.

But what is this?
What do I see?
You’re taking her to the lake,
Same as me.

You step over my grave,
With your dirty feet,
But dents in the snow
Are all you can see.

The ice is thicker,
Its colder now,
Now death has
No way out.

You dance across
With her on your arm.
Silver bladed skates,
This is all wrong.

Figure eights
Are all I see.
You both are spinning,
Trapping me.

But there it is,
That sudden groan,
And the ice gives way
Beneath your toes.

It sucks you under,
Waves roll like thunder.
The water is alive,
Here lies my pride!

Let it swallow you whole,
Drown in pain.
You scream my name,
I turn away.

You see,
This is what happens
When you show me
False passion,

For the dead
Are one with the earth.
So take your soul,
And dry it out
In a fiery hearth.

This is death,
My sorry friend.
This is death,
It has no end.

I’ll leave you behind,
Because now I am free.
That beautiful girl,
She welcomes me.

Into her mind,
Into her soul,
Because now she truly
Knows it all.

I have possessed her,
She is mine,
So listen to my
Haunting rhyme.

I will her to just
Walk away,
And leave your body
To decay,

For the ice will
Melt again someday.

Goodnight my love,
I’m off to have fun,
But I promise to return
With the morning sun.

You say that you bruise too easily
You say you have bad luck
You say your hand-eye coordination sucks
You say your boyfriend loves you
You say your love is true
But tell me,

Somewhere out walking,
We hit a patch of thin ice.
I’m the only one going under;
Black water chokes my cries..."

Hannah you have a talent, this poem made me smile and almost cry, you turn those rhymes and words into a life. I love it so much. You need to publich your art, its beautiful.

I sit in the darkness
knees pressing agaisnt ribs
hard to breath but it has always been
I sigh closing my eyes
doesnt matter if they are open or close
its still the same shadows
the same ghosts who haunt me
but at least with closed eyes
I can control them a little
they wont come anc choke me in the night
they wont come and scream
fat/ugly/stupid/useless/mistake/fat/worthless/shame/guilt/fat
they will crall under my bones, in the silence
the echo under my ribcage
the whispers under my collarbones
they will sing me to sleep
hug me tight
let the air sink out of me
let it spill
as life
slowly
slowly
and this fat girl
will disappear
slowly
slowly
they kiss her
slowly
slowly
they fill the last smile
paint it on her lips
let her have the last moments
as happy ones
as ones she wont regret
the blade far away
and the stomach empty
she will smile her last time
slowly
slwoly
her heart will stop

A happy place,

A place in our minds

Where we feel at peace

A happy place,

Where you go for calmness

Where you have been before

You know you are going there.

You are there.

Your happy place might be

In a rainforest near a stream,

The stream right over there.

That fish,

It just stopped in the stream

To say hello.

The stream is still flowing.

You hear it trickle down the rocks

That it lays on top of.

The grass that you are laying on,

Right here.

The soft dirt,

the dirt lying right over there.

The smell of the trees and flowers.

The flowers and the trees that you see

On your right.

You might leave this place,

Maybe because you found a new happy place.

Your new happy place

Might be in a meadow

In a meadow in the Spring

With the smell of the flowers

Floating in to your nose

To tell you

That your worries have vanished

The green grass all around you

Is your soft resting spot

All your stress,

All your anger

Your happy place that you found

Is your perfect spot on the beach.

Right in front of the clear ocean.

Right in front of the colored sunset.

You are laying down.

Your body is becoming one with the sand.

With the soft and white sand.

And for this very moment,

Nothing matters.

The only thing that matters

Is this moment.

At this very moment,

You are finally at peace.

You are at your happy place,

And your happiness and peace

Is with you.

Thank you so much Shadows joined the dance, I wrote that poem in eighth grade. Its been a couple years now, and Im ready to write again. The compliment means a lot :)
