[Kain]

I haven't wrote poems in a long time so don't be mean to me plz


I'm swimming all alone in a pool of darkness
and I feel like darkness is slowly pulling me under
I yell for help but no one is there to hear it
I begin to see the water at eye level
and I kick and flail
fighting to stay above the darkness
But the darkness won't let go of its hold on me
and I slowly begin to give in
to the feeling that lies below the water line
the waters starts to fill my lungs
the lungs that once held so much life
yet now they allow the murky water to replace that
I know that this path doesn't lead to happiness
But why doesn't someone grab my hand
pull me from darkness's grasp?
because no one knows I stand at the boundary
the boundary between light and dark
so I give in to the thing that holds me
All of the strength and all of the courage
that I once held in my heart
can't save me from the water
So I slowly slip below the world of conscientiousness
undetected by the occupants of that world
I don't want to fight anymore
I've given into darkness

[Haku]

This is one that I just thought up its not long though:
Some say she wished to long.
Some say she wished to little.
She walked from across the world.
To see the crack of down.
But as soon as it came up.
She was gone.

[Sword for Hire]

Here are a few poems I wrote back when I was working through a rather long bout of mental illness. It may strike few as a surprise that I was a considerably troubled youth. As you'll find evident in these poems, not every madman is an artist XD

Checkmate:
The masses go left
I choose to go right
In this world of pawns
I am a knight
And though I'm alone
I continue to fight
Will I be free
When my soul takes flight?


[IAlone:
To this pathetic reality I am condemned
To be accepted, I must pretend
To be someone I refuse to be
To be someone who is not me
Loneliness’ embrace holds me tight
My soul alone in forsaken night
To this dismal existence I cannot cope
Salvation, my unrealistic hope][/i]

Shattered:
I can’t stand it, why am I me?
If there is a god, then where can he be?
My life trickles away like the hourglass’ sand
Tell me, where do I fit in God’s divine plan?
This can’t be it, there has to be more
In solitude, I am cursed to survive this horror
My existence is shattered, broken at best
Everyone can see that my mind is a mess
Still, I survive shrouded in night
So, until my last breath, I’ll continue to fight

[Eternal Dream]

Okay, not too bad. I give it a total rating of 8/10 'cause it could still use a little work. My turn!


~~~~How Can I?~~~~

How can I say,
What needs to be said?
That I always loved you,
And how my heart bled?

How can I go,
When I couldn't stay?
You were mine alone,
How could you stray?

How can I do this,
When my heart's not in it?
All you did was take and take,
Where you afraid to give?

How can I love,
When you have it all?
You stole my heart away,
Do you even care if I fall?

How can I live,
With this guilt inside?
I gave my love to another,
So why do I hide?

How can I?


~~~~Forgotten~~~~

Crying all alone tonight,
Here in this empty room.
While you're out having a good time;
Out howling at the moon.

Stuck in the past,
My heart still stuck on you.
While you go out with all the guys;
And your tears are so few.

I just can't breath,
My heart's been left in the past.
But you just go on with your life;
You sure have forgotten me fast.

I'm stuck in this darkness,
In a valley of pain.
But you just keep walking by;
Though I'm desperately calling your name.

What's your secret,
How can you still laugh.
When I'm all alone,
Stuck behind the glass.

This pain won't go away,
It's been here since the fall.
But you cover up your pain;
Like we never loved at all.

~~~~Angel~~~~

An angel was taken from me,
Life just can't be fair.
Our love was meant to be;
And now she isn't there.

I saw her face just yesterday;
But my angel was taken from me.
Destiny gave me her love, then took it back;
Why must fate play the game so mean?

My nights are lonely without her,
But there just isn't anything I can do.
My angel was taken from me;
My reality is becoming unglued.

My heart is withering away,
This reality I want to leave.
But my spirit would still remain bound;
Because my angel was taken from me.

An angel was taken from me,
With eyes as blue as the sky.
We burried her today;
But I still can't understand why.

I've got so many more stored on my computer, but that's gonna have to be it for now.

[mesmerized]

mkay my turn! ^_^

He's like a sheep in wolf's clothing.
Portraying the life of loniness.
Give him some time, give him space.
Nothing can protect him from the man he has become.

Inside of him theres a land of confusion.
He isnt sure what he wants out of life.
"Let me be, I can I do this on my own."
He pushes away the only love he's ever known.

Walking in this world by himself
There's nothing more scary then journeying all alone.
But let him be, he's more stronger then you can imagine
Living in the abyss of his pain.

Deep inside in his true being
lies his deepest secrets.
Theres that the person you've never seen.
It is his weakness; his inner beast
But to me its that sheep that he'll never set free.

[MemoriesLast4ever]

haha...haven't posted in a loooong time...

^ that one is cute with the sheep :3


ha...i did this poem around end of may for a "poetry scrapbook" ;
it's so emo, it makes me laugh XD although it's true...>.>;
haven't really got a title for it xD


Time is tick-ing,
Time is tock-ing.
The hours are passing,
And so are the days.
Soon, days will become years,
And you will become older
And eventually be gone from this world.
Another life will begin anew
And the cycle of life will continue
Again and again and again.

[~Life~]

Wow yeah that s emoish. lol. ok ill go...

Your Words

Your words seem tender and sweet to me,
They latch onto my heart.
I look forward to seeing thee,
And I hope we're never apart.

They hit and sting when they are cruel,
And make me run and fret.
But when they're sweet, I feel like a fool,
And your words make me forget.

Your words bring me abck, and I fall weak,
You take control, your words so true.
I am defenseless and cannot speak,
And you make me think I love you.

[darkknight878]

This one's called "A Tear For Nothing Lost" :


One tear slid down his right cheek; just One.

For Everything lost, for Nothing gained.

For Nothing lost, for Nothing gained.

Nothing.

Everything destroyed, and Nothing, left in its place.

There are no more Tears to mend, no more Pieces to pick up.

Just Nothing, and One tear....... to mourn the loss.

[Disluxia]

Don't think.
While the photos blur
Hard to notice that this young girl
Still alone in the backseat of an older car
Is able to still hold her head
Together and without glue it still hasn't fallen into two
On her shoulders rests the weight of the world
The cab driver tells her
"Sweetie you've got much days left
There is no reason to live your life so quick"
In a very thick accent she trys hard to ignore
When will this all come crashing down when
Will our day be here to finally stop thinking
Don't think our flag tells us but we just can't do that
"I just can't do that!" she says
The cab driver replies "excuse me?"
Swiftly she ignores his reply
After exiting the cab he watches her walk off
In a skimpy half cut off t-shirt and an even smaller skirt
With her hips shaking as she walks
Uncomfortable is all she looks not even the kind
That makes you want a girl
Knowing this isn't the best way
Even if it's just to pay the rent
"This isn't how I want to spend my life!"
No one even hears her yells in this part of town
As if there was any reason to look up from the concrete
That god had planted them in just so they wouldn't run off
Just to end up worse off
She's wearing sunglasses to add a bit of spice and turn the heads of others
What's her name is none of your concern
What your concern is she is for what you yearn
Everything you hate in a woman that always seems right
The worst kind of girlfriend but it's the only thing that would make her
Possible to live around
Finally removing the sunglasses to show her dark eyes
Sometimes she'd tell the men deep things
After they were done with her
How she misses seeing the world in color
How hope is no longer with either of them
Usually they are just ordinary men who follow the flag
Don't think they say with a swift wave of the hand
"Not even a good bye just don't think"
Spray painted over her apartment it said
"Think!"
She wrote it for all the posters up saying the opposite she
Believed needed competition
The result of a loss of hope
Calling another man and then another man
The backseat of the car and she realizes she might be the only one
A thinker the ones who make a difference but without hope
What difference is an intelligent whore
Weights on her shoulders keep her in the car
"Cab driver!" she yells
"yes" he replies solemnly
"Where has this worlds color gone.?"
With a disappointing breath he says
"Don't think"

yeah just a piece on how i feel about the world.

[Miss Murder]

Not bad ... I suppose. Keep working at it. 6/10

I have my own poetry thread, but still, I decided to post here.

~"Angels Fall" ~

Angels fall headfirst from Grace
The darkness in their hearts balances the light
Falling forever, in a neverending chase
Tattered wings, hopes of may or might.

I know your true intentions
In the lost memories I see
You have only seen in two dimensions
Images of Angels are now before me.

As long as you've lived, you've become numb to pain
Long ago, your light ceased to shine.
But the life that floods your heart, it's not the same.
In no way is your heart as black as mine.

Your dreams were killed, now you murder others
The weight of their pain is held on your shoulders
But redemption comes to the many mothers
Of healers and saints in the light of time.

If I had a choice, I would give it all away
I would choose to forget, and never return.
But I could not, will not, may.
For then, I would not learn
And I would forget of the love you gave me,
And you, my love, complete me.

[Dark Prince]

I'm loving this yummy scripts please let me know what you think of my stlye

I'm surviving the torment in the eye of the storm
everyday a riot is born, and the quiet conform, but
I ain't trying to change society
and the demons inside me, I face them privately
isolated from the world and people around me
Its like i feel this evil around me, but
It wont stop me from passing the legacy

Picked up a bible because the passages better me, but
I still ask Silence why he whispers in my ear
Then he disappears in the crystal clear of a dismal fear
I suffer from insomnia, and I smoke till I pass out
While the hopes of my past drown, holding my craft down

Will I make it?, or die in pursuit?
You hear the voice in my face like in the eyes of the mute
and to supply the music, we rely on the noose
will i take a bite of the fruit, like Eve did in Eden?
I learned that greed is deceiving
I breed with heathens, and cats trying to keep me from breathing

So who is responsible for this birth of this psycho
Working through nights on verses, a purpose to write flows
it's like i was born in the light, but raised in the shadows
I was torn from this life, In dreams I watch my self hang from a gallow

Explain why we shallow, Everyday I search for an answer
like why was I born sick in the head and cursed with a cancer

As book can't teach you what pain can
Beasts use to roam the earth, now we destroying that same land
Were nothing but creatures with the power of thought
Thought we used to forsake the virgin Mary, and allow her to rot
and if the past paves the way, then we're doomed to the Lost
at last in my grave, and i a pay a tomb for a cost

I wonder if theres a heaven for a man of sin
and when I'm down, I wonder if I'll stand again

But times have changed since Jesus laid in the Manger to rest
to the day I break bread with the Angel of Death
I cant change, Its like I got this shit stained in my flesh
I Smell hell through the cracks in the ground
So passion is found when emotion clashes with sound
To create the rhythm of life my heart is beating to

People don't know that what I start is meaningful
Cause thats a sign of where were going, its our destiny's fate, and
Living by the lessons of faith will lead straight to the Heavenly Gates, and
If it's mind over matter then I wasn't made for the physical form
Fools don't believe in God cause they need a visible form
That the demise of our race

And our lives have their place, and the divine has it best
But whether we make it or not, we won't know.....till Life after DEATH

[jazznam89]

Every last sip is like the taste of blood in my mouth,
watching from the window as rain forms into drops of black tears.
My past comes to haunt me again and for the last time,
But I smile solemnly as it always comes back to haunt me...

Life is only a path I use as a scapegoat,
As I do not need to fear death,
Because I have died a million times and have awaken a million times more.
Yet even though it is true, I will die this final time and wake up.
Death is my companion and the only light in this purgatory.

I'm living in a dream I’m never going to wake up from.
Life is nothing to me,
I die, and I die.
My face bleeds of crimson tears, I smile again.
I lay on the floor, the life sapped out of me.

I know I cannot do anything but smile to Heaven,
My soul I searched for comes back.
The dream is over; the reality is over for me.
As I pour my last drink,
I know I can rest in peace finally.

I take the glass and sip my last drink, and close my eyes for the last time.
The smile never leaves from my face and I’ll take the next one...

[Stavvy]

Well, I'm depressed, so I write. . .

It sucks, I think so at least. . .and I stopped rhyming. . .just stopped caring. . .

The person that I'm obviously writting about knows how I feel, she's read from here to where I marked.

I thought that everything was fine
Turns out I was wrong
I thought we had plenty of time
Turns out I was wrong

So now I ask God, “Why?”
But the answer never comes
As I drown in myself
None can be the one

I wish that things could be different
Now I know they won’t be
I wish that I could fix whatever the hell I did
It’s too bad you wouldn’t see.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We promised to stay close
That’s one thing that wasn’t a joke
I promised not to shed a tear
That’s a promise that I just broke

I wish that you could see me now
But maybe it’s better that you don’t
I wish that it would last
But now I’m wishing for the past

Why do you make me feel this way?
I wish everything were once again new
Why can’t I get you out of my head?
Right now all I want is you.

You will never know how I feel.
These thoughts I will never share
Even as you sit next to me
I’m never truly there.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Maybe one day
If I pretend to not care
Then maybe one day
I actually won’t.
What if that day doesn’t come?
What if I’m always left wondering. . .
“Why him and not me?”
Would any of it make a difference?
Right now I feel that it wouldn’t
Although it’s merely been three hours
It feels like an eternity
And right now that eternity is cold.
I’m sure that some day you’ll be happy
I hope that that day soon comes
I’m not sure what is in store for me
All that was isn’t anymore.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How different would it have been
If you and I had stayed close?
Would we still be happy?
I’d like to think so

I know that we didn’t,
we didn’t make it very far,
but I felt that we could have
If only you had given it a chance

Now you’re gone,
Gone with him.
I can’t say that I’m mad,
But I certainly am jealous.

I wish that I could be
The one to make you happy
For now I’ll still attempt
But I fear that it won’t be so.

I keep reading the few poems you wrote me
I know that you liked me,
And I hope you knew that
I felt the same

I’m lucky if I can get five minuets of sleep,
For you’re always there when I close my eyes
I know that now it won’t matter
But now all I see is grey in the skies.

Was that your doing
Draining the color from my eyes
You’re the only one who could’ve done it
At least you’re still here in that way.

It’s hard to come to grips with it
I’m sure for some it easy
But I’m not one of them
You’re lucky you can choose.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You say that you wished
That you never started that conversation
I, for one, wish that you’d start another
Even if the outcome remains the same.

It doesn’t matter anymore
I’m happy for you, as long as you’re happy, with whoever that may be.
I can’t lie, it does matter,
Why can’t that person be me?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

All that my dreams show me are lies
You’re always there, and so am I
The location is always different
But it’s always you and me.
We’re happy, together
Young or old
Rich or poor
In health or ill
Dark or Light
You’re always my light,
My guide in the darkness.
My warmth in the cold.
These dreams are short lived
I always wake up cold and in the dark.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As the knife hovers over my wrist
The only safe guard is you
It’s you that keeps me from doing
What I know that you wouldn’t approve of.

I always feel cold now
As a world without you is expected
Why was I cast into here
A world without you.

I’m always asking “Why?”
It keeps running through my mind,
Never making it past my lips.
I’m afraid of persecution.

It’s ironic that it’s cold outside
As the rain and hail pound
I’m sure it’s warm where you are,
It’s warm if you’re around.

As I listen to myself
I wonder if you feel the same. . .
Of course you don’t, why would you?
You’re happy with your life.

I’ve never thought of suicide
Not once.
That’s the easy way out
Just through this gun.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As I sink to the floor
I’m wondering why this is happening.
Why did you say what you did
And the contradict yourself?

You claimed it a mistake
To let me know your intentions
Trust me, it wasn’t.
I was happy for a small time

That’s more than I could say for a long time
I feel, or felt, the warmth of your body
Against mine
It hurts to think, never again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ((End where she's read))

I never wanted for you to cry
I’ve never been able to say that.
Now I hope that you know,
I’ll be there for you.

Even if it’s not the way that I’d like
I just don’t care anymore.
I’ll be whatever you want of me,
Friend or more.

I’m sorry if what I’m saying makes you cry,
I need to get this out somehow.
I’m sorry that I can’t stop
We both know this could be better.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I won’t hurt myself,
Another promise I’ll keep.
For your sake and mine,
But mostly your’s.

I have no need for this knife,
I’ve already suffered enough pain.
Don’t cry,
It just adds more.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If there’s no way to make you understand,
If there’s no way to change your opinion,
Then I hope you’re happy,
Maybe then I could be.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

He’s a good guy,
I can understand why you like him.
I can understand why you’d rather be with him.
I guess he’s just a better guy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I feel that there isn’t anything,
That can distract me for long,
From thinking of you.
Are you thinking of me?

As the hours tick away,
All through the night,
I’m thinking of you,
Wishing for you.
Has it really been that short of time,
Only twenty-four hours?
I told you earlier that it was like an eternity.
And I’m still cold.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You said that you were still looking,
Searching for your light.
It seems you’ve found it, him.
That makes one of us.

I thought I saw it once,
But that light faded.
I still remember its warmth,
But it’s not the same.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I heard your favorite holiday song.
The one you mentioned before.
It’s ok, it’s my favorite too.
I guess that’s something that we share.

It was echoing through my mind,
As I tried to sleep.
A single tear fell,
I’m surprised it wasn’t more.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I’m asking myself, “What’s left?”
I know that there’s something,
I just can’t find it.
I guess I’ll keep looking, alone.

I’ve always thought that,
There might be someone.
Right now I’m not so sure,
I’m sure you’re crying now.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Is there anybody out there?
Is anybody calling?
Of course not,
I’m the only one.

If you called,
It probably fell on deaf ears.
It’s not that I don’t want to hear you,
It’s just hard to take this.

I wish that you could hear me,
Calling out for someone.
But as I spoke before,
I’m the only one.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[Darkness Princess]

Here's one of mine. I think near the end I ended up turning them more into lyrics than a poem.

Dream Invader

Don’t fall asleep, don’t drift away.
Don’t close your eyes, else you'll fade away.
Keep a straight face, bite back those tears.
The pain will remind you what it is you fear.

Cold clammy skin drenched in sweat.
Just moments ago it was blood instead
The piercing pain, with time it fades,
Yet the memory of this nightmare remains.

Don’t rip off my wings, it hurts.
Don’t invade my dreams, you'll make it worse.
Cling onto these swear drenched sheets.
Never again of you I'll dream.

These feathers of ebony,
These wings that belong to me.
Don’t pull me close to rip me apart.
Don’t shred into pieces this beating heart.

I won't let you; I'll stop you this time…
Unlike last time and last time…
A thousand last times and many more…
I'm not the same as I was before.

I'm different now, I swear I'm stronger.
I no longer glance over my shoulder.
What? Stop looking at me with that expression…
My true feelings towards you are no longer hidden!

Yeah! I hate you! I swear I do…
Its all your fault that I dream of you.
It's not coz I love you, nor coz I care.
Stop smiling, it's not fair…

I don’t love you, you ripped off my wings.
(I do love you, you give me reason to fly)
I don’t love you, you took away everything.
(I do love you, you give me reason to fight)
I don’t love you, you invade my dreams.
(I do love you, without you I have no dreams)
I don’t need you, just go away already…
(I do need you, don’t leave me behind you're my everything)
I don’t need you, just walk away already…

[Skitty Cat]

Nice job DP, I liked what you did at the end of it.

~- Tied up and Bound -~

Staring through the dark,
The light has faded again;
Where did the light go?
Why am I the one trapped?

I don't want him in pain,
I don't want to make him fall;
Nothing makes sense anymore,
A dull almost invisible pain hangs over.

Tied up and bound,
The last thing I want you to feel;
No more on that aching pain and loneliness,
A single heart beats in the night.

It's not mine and I know it,
it's the one of the light;
The one I lost long ago,
Confusion echoes in my head.

Do you wish you were alone?
Do you wish that I was someone else?
Where would you be if you weren't here, with me?
Where would you go if you were free?

I never wanted to hold you back,
Never wanted to slow you down;
Your heart has disappeared and I know it,
But some questions still remain unanswered.

Have I become your enemy?
Is it hard for you to be yourself in my company?
Where has her heart gone? It's not here I know it!
Do you wish that I would just disappear?

Was I wrong all this time?
Did he feel lonely around me?
Why can't I feel his heart, is it already gone?
I'm sorry if I made you feel tied up and bound.

~- No not again -~

Ebony darkness surrounds here,
Ivory disappears like before;
Pain isn't ebbing away as last time,
Darkness surrounds this clouded mind.

Broken glass lays on the floor,
Numb to this sharp feeling inside;
More and more heartache is there,
Why is there fights and arguments?

Blood trickles down my cheek,
Did I cut it on something?
I know I did lift a razor to it,
How did the scratch get there than?

Pain rushes through more now,
I want someone who won't judge me;
Glass breaking inside again,
What's the point in this sort of thing?

Ebony is the room now,
The light's gone once more;
Why is the light abandoning me?
What did I do to receive this punishment?

No not again with the fights,
Time just rolls on by slowly;
It leaves you in a cloud of dust,
Mercy is what I seek but I can't find it.
