Poems

and sad :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:

Tears are falling from my eyes,
as I sit and cry at night.
blood is dripping from my heart,
as I try to write.

I have so much pain,
I'm hurt a lot,
I can't explain all this,
I'm just falling apart.

no one understands,
I don't know where to start
and I don't know where to end.

love hurts so much,
like a thousand stabbing knives,
especially when you have all this pain,
that you wish you could deny.

I'm so sore right now,
my heart is racing fast,
I wish I could forget all this,
and leave it in the past.

but there will always be a memory,
a memory of us both,
how we both loved each other,
and in my heart I'll hold.

I will always hold this memory
even though you won't care,
and the scar you left in my heart
will always be there.

Inkeeping with the sad theme that we seem to have going, here are the lyrics from 'My Last Breath' by Evanescence. The song is basically about a man/woman who is dying in their partners arms. It is spoken from the point of view of the dying person.

hold on to me love
you know i can't stay long
all i wanted to say was i love you and i'm not afraid
can you hear me?
can you feel me in your arms?

holding my last breath
safe inside myself
are all my thoughts of you
sweet raptured light it ends here tonight

i'll miss the winter
a world of fragile things
look for me in the white forest
hiding in a hollow tree (come find me)
i know you hear me
i can taste it in your tears

holding my last breath
safe inside myself
are all my thoughts of you
sweet raptured light it ends here tonight

closing your eyes to disappear
you pray your dreams will leave you here
but still you wake and know the truth
no one's there

say goodnight
don't be afraid
calling me calling me as you fade to black

The Soldier
Rupert Brooke

If I should die, think only this of me:
That there's some corner of a foreign field
That is forever England. There shall be
In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,
Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam;
A body of England's, breathing English air,
Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.
And think, this heart, all evil shed away,
A pulse in the eternal mind, no less
Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given;
Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;
And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness,
In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.

Bit of a strange one, very famous, but I like it

The Kiss

I hoped that he would love me,
And he has kissed my mouth,
But I am like a stricken bird
That cannot reach the south.

For though I know he loves me,
To-night my heart is sad;
His kiss was not so wonderful
As all the dreams I had.

Loved Ones - 9/11
© By Sarah D. Evertsen

The rain hits the sidewalk
and splashes into waves
as I run home,
my mind in a daze.
I try to recall
those last few hours,
but as I look back,
I see no towers.
There's ash and fire,
no one can see
and people burdened
without any company.
The day was cold
yet the weather nice
we hoped all those terrorists
would pay a heavy price.
They put a knife in our hearts;
a fire in our souls
and still all the citizens
did their parts.
We hear God Bless America,
and, Let Freedom Ring
we think about the comfort
those words bring.
In the shadows of the night
We hear our loved ones call,
Please come back and help us all

I open my eyes
I take my last breath
Surrounded by unfamiliar faces
I try to scream
But nothing comes out
I’m sick of this life
I just want to die
Nothing’s going right anymore
It’s all the same lies
All the fake smiles and “hellos”.

Seems like a dream
Like I’m living in this land
Of false hopes and dreams
No on understands why
Why I’m this way
They all think I just want pity and attention
And they all act like I’m an outsider
They all see me as separate from the crowd
And they all treat me like that too.

How can they be so fake?
How can they act so better than me?
(when they’re not)
Its like I’m behind a one way mirror
And even though I can see
And hear everyone else
Its as if no one can see or hear me
And when I try to speak
The words,
They never seem to come out
And no one even bothers to listen.

ITS BULL ****!!!

I’m so sick of it all
Why can’t things just be like they used to?
So simple and everything seemed to fit.

But now things are so
Complex and nothing
Seems to fit
It all just seems so difficult.

My vision is blurred
I just can’t take it anymore.
I’m breaking down
I want to run away from this life
I don’t want to face tomorrow
I just wish that
Tomorrow would never come for me
I feel so out of place
Like I just don’t belong
And no one understands me
Not that anyone would
Because you don’t know
What its like
To be
Me

As I lay here now
In this pine box
I see everyone I have ever met
And they’re all looking down on me,
Like they always did.

Now that they’ve got their way
And I’m laying here dead
About to go six feet under,
They begin to cry and console one another
And I wonder…
Do they really care?
Was I wrong all along?
Was I really not an outsider?
Did I really have to end my life?
And then, as they depart,
It all goes back to the way it was
Before I took…
My Last Breath.

Life can be taken
In a blink of an eye
You're breathing the minute
Right before you die

It could turn so fast
You just never know
Any day, any place
When it's your time to go

Can happen within seconds
Safe or unexpected
Anywhere is possible
Even sheltered and protected

No chance to cry
Not even to think
In that very moment
You're on the brink

Soon as you take
Your very last breath
A new life is born
As a result of your death

Can't live in fear
But just think about it
Maybe your unknown destiny
Is that your life has a limit

An Unwinding Path

Like an unwinding path
It never ends
Not a thought for the aftermath
Or whats round the bend

I don't like to reveal all
Hide away and hurt so bad
I don't like to feel so small
Threw away the love I once had

I don't like to see you cry
I don't like to lie to you
To see that look in your eye
These things I try not to do

Falling through open space
Down and down falling fast
I know I can't keep up with this pace
Frightful shadows are overcast

So Im sorry, Please forget
The lies and tearful cries
And the rows and upsets
Everything will be ok, I'll try

If im dreaming, wake me now
Help me pass the test
Lead me they way, Show me how
To be at my total best

You can probably guess what this is about, just don't judge :)

The Drug

It feels like a cure for your pain
Each time you do it again
It doesn't help but makes you feel relieved
Helps you gain control and breathe

You know it's wrong but feel the need
You feel the need to cut and bleed
If all the people put together what they'd bled
About half of them would be gone and dead

I don't want to be one of them anymore
I want to show people how to soar
To rise above the deep depression
Stop the hurt, pain and aggression

It works like a painkiller, It cures
But also like a drug, It lures
Don't fool yourself with what you believed
Don't hide, Face it you were deceived

It doesn't help in the long run does it?
Nothing stops you from wanting more slits
You need to learn to calm this
You may not know but you'd be missed

I know you can't just stop straight away
But please, just leave the knife where it lays
Anything you want or need, we're here
Don't bottle it up, feel free to drop a tear

Keep it real and slow it down
If you drop a tear we'll be around
Stay strong and protect your skin
Please for us, don't give in...
