[size=2]Just some random poems I've written. Feedback is welcome. (Don't mind the punctuation on some of them, it's how I write sometimes.)[/size]
[size=2] [/size]
[size=2]A sky painted with gray[/size]
[size=2]Shows no mercy for the coming day[/size]
[size=2]And as the clouds roll in[/size]
[size=2]I think of what we might've been[/size]
[size=2] [/size]
[size=2]---[/size]
[size=2] [/size]
[size=2]"Fading"[/size]
[size=2]I am fading[/size]
[size=2]Into the background, into the scene[/size]
[size=2]Watching as the world passes me by[/size]
[size=2]I can't move, I don't want to[/size]
[size=2]Do you see me?[/size]
[size=2]Can you feel my emotions?[/size]
[size=2]If you can[/size]
[size=2]You must be fading[/size]
[size=2] [/size]
[size=2]---[/size]
[size=2] [/size]
[size=2]Once I held my hand out for you[/size]
[size=2]It was an open game[/size]
[size=2]I gave you everything[/size]
[size=2]And you gave me nothing[/size]
[size=2]I promised you[/size]
[size=2]To love, honor, and cherish[/size]
[size=2]It was a mistake[/size]
[size=2] [/size]
[size=2]---[/size]
[size=2] [/size]
[size=2]a cigarette burning[/size]
[size=2]next to an empty beer can[/size]
[size=2]a girl in the corner[/size]
[size=2]with tears of fire[/size]
[size=2]running down her cheeks[/size]
[size=2]bruised skin and a broken wrist[/size]
[size=2]tangled hair and a pierced heart[/size]
[size=2]she tried to figure out[/size]
[size=2]why things had to be this way[/size]
[size=2]an abusive father[/size]
[size=2]a no good mother[/size]
[size=2]was it a consequence?[/size]
[size=2]for being a bad girl[/size]
[size=2]or for sinning too much[/size]
[size=2]she prayed to the Lord Almighty[/size]
[size=2]to forgive her for her wrongdoings[/size]
[size=2]and closed her eyes[/size]
[size=2]wishing everything would go away[/size]
[size=2]and when she opened them[/size]
[size=2]it was all still there[/size]
[size=2]and she had to face reality[/size]
[size=2] [/size]
[size=2]---[/size]
[size=2][/size]
[size=2]it's time to go[/size]
[size=2]don't need you[/size]
[size=2]don't need anyone[/size]
[size=2]leave me alone[/size]
[size=2]i'm sorry[/size]
[size=2]it had to be this way[/size]
[size=2]it was you[/size]
[size=2]not me[/size]
[size=2]i'm not even going to pretend[/size]
[size=2]you said this[/size]
[size=2]i said that[/size]
[size=2]you promised that[/size]
[size=2]and you broke this[/size]
[size=2]now i'm pissed[/size]
[size=2]you're crying[/size]
[size=2]i could care less[/size]
[size=2]you think i'm cold[/size]
[size=2]i think i'm right[/size]
[size=2]you might care for me[/size]
[size=2]maybe even love me[/size]
[size=2]but you don't show it[/size]
[size=2]don't even try[/size]
[size=2]goodbye[/size]
[size=2] [/size]
[size=2]---[/size]
[size=2][/size]
[size=2]i love you[/size]
[size=2]the words roll right off my tongue[/size]
[size=2]with no effort, with no regret[/size]
[size=2]i've never experienced this before[/size]
[size=2]you're my soulmate, and i am yours[/size]
[size=2]the angels in heaven smile when we kiss[/size]
[size=2]and the stars shine down on us[/size]
[size=2]i think you're perfect[/size]
[size=2]and you are[/size]
[size=2] [/size]
[size=2]--- [/size]
[size=2]happiness is a state of mind[/size]
[size=2]love is what makes you blind[/size]
[size=2]all these feelings I've had[/size]
[size=2]and now I made you feel bad[/size]
[size=2]sorry for the mistake, I won't make it again[/size]
[size=2]now I ask you to take my hand[/size]
[size=2]I'll lead you into a place you've never been[/size]
[size=2]you'll think it is the greatest sin[/size]
[size=2]but everything you will see will be true[/size]
[size=2]including when I say I love you[/size]
[size=2] [/size]
[size=2]---[/size]
[size=2] [/size]
[size=2]He often thought of it; always sad[/size]
[size=2]He wanted to be different; it made him mad[/size]
[size=2]Slightly imperfect; in constant sorrow[/size]
[size=2]After tonight, there's no tomorrow[/size]
[size=2]Sitting at his desk, writting the letter[/size]
[size=2]Explaining to his parents how it will be better[/size]
[size=2]'My dad, my mom, [/size]
[size=2]When you read this, I will be gone[/size]
[size=2]But don't you cry, no, please[/size]
[size=2]It will be better if I leave[/size]
[size=2]I was a burden; hard to be around[/size]
[size=2]Now at twelve; the clock sounds[/size]
[size=2]And I will go on to a better place[/size]
[size=2]Never again wasting your space[/size]
[size=2]With Love, Matt' he signed[/size]
[size=2]Folding it up; clearing his mind[/size]
[size=2]And he stood up; looked around once more[/size]
[size=2]Taking a deep breath; heading towards the door[/size]
[size=2]Out in the hallway; it was like death row[/size]
[size=2]But with no guards; he's his only foe[/size]
[size=2]Into his parents' room; where he used to have fun[/size]
[size=2]With girls from the street; now he reached for the gun[/size]
[size=2]One more glance; one more sigh[/size]
[size=2]One shot to the head and his soul did fly[/size]
[size=2]Two hours later; his parents arrived[/size]
[size=2]To find their eldest son had apparently died[/size]
[size=2]The police asked them question after question[/size]
[size=2]About their son whose life had to end[/size]
[size=2]Was he bad? Or did he do drugs?[/size]
[size=2]No, they answered, not that they knew of[/size]
[size=2]And then they found the letter; the last written words of his life[/size]
[size=2]But a burden wasn't lifted; all he caused was strife.[/size]
