She walks away from their encounter
a silent, empty thing
a shell of her former self
Why did this happen?

Did she know that
It would end up like this?
Placing her hand over her heart
Why has it stopped beating so?

And she stands there
A broken doll, singing silent tears of mud
She signed her own will
with her hearts blood

Watching as he fades away
She reaches out, but pulls back
Afraid, will it all shatter?
Will the past repeat itself again?

She backs away, uncertain
What is she to him?
Is she just a replacement?
Something to be used again?

An object, is that it?
She closes her eyes and cries
What has she done?
He's hurting so much....

She falls on her knees, shaken
The veils stripped from her eyes
Was there any way that
She can correct what she had done?

She whispered, one silent plea
I have hurt you again
Please forgive me....
She hopes it will reach him...

"Grief Unending," Second version.

Down her cheek rolls one more tear,
Lost, again, one she holds dear.
Her grief is growing, greater still;
She clings to life by force of will.

Another day, another sorrow,
Will she be crying more tomorrow?
She once was happy, but no more.
She's grieving right down to her core.

With nothing left, she turns to drinking,
She does her best to stop the thinking.
And though each night brings dreamless bliss,
Dawn brings memories’ solid fist.

Her hope grows dim, begins to fade,
Her outlook turns a darker shade.
The hole she digs grows ever deeper;
Its sides are growing smoother, steeper.

I see all this, and come to her,
Beneath the guise of counselor.
Comfort I showed; I tried to console,
But grief had robbed her, taken her soul.

That night, she cried, with bottle drained,
Pulled the trigger, ending the pain.
Now I mourn the loss of a friend,
For whom, it seems, grief had no end.

One week gone by without reply
and icy fear brings doubts
for why my letter's gone ignored
perchance you've met a tragic fate
or I've grown cold within your eyes
or mayhap I see only looming fate
not destiny's shining light
which still proclames
that you and I were meant to be.

"Light amongst Darkness"

Love is hatred.
Hatred for the others in your way,
Hatred for the competition,
Hatred for the chance of loss.

Love is terror.
Terror that you might lose her,
Terror that she might love another,
Terror that the love she shows is false.

Love is pain.
Pain that can rip you apart,
Pain that can push you to the edge,
Pain that can cause you to push her away.

Love is chaos.
Chaos that can make you lost,
Chaos that can warp your soul,
Chaos that can turn love to hate.

Love is destruction.
Destruction of the small things in life,
Destruction of lasting friendships,
Destruction of opportunities.

Yet, despite all of love that is darkness,
There is something in love that is light.
A light amongst darkness.
The one that you love.

Here's a li'l bit of awesomeness I call 'The Blade'... Tell me what you think.

Lying awake, on a cold winters night
I try to hold on, try to find the light
I've lived for so long, in a veritable Hell
Trapped inside this body, stuck inside this shell.

I long to fly free
I long to escape
I long to be me.
I long to leave it all.

But you drag me down
When I try to rise
You take all i hold dear
With your hate and lies

Lying awake, I turn
See the sharp blade
Its edge glistening
my sorrow will fade.

I long to fly free
I long to escape
I long to be me.
I long to leave it all.

The knife holds promises
I know it cannot keep
Dropping the blade,
I turn my head and weep.

Because life goes on
No matter what we do
I will struggle to live on,
I'll do it all for you.

I long to fly free
I long to escape
I long to be me.
I long to leave it all

BMG! and I are back in business! Another co-poem. This time, though, She did the first and third stanzas, and I did the second and fourth ones. Enjoy!

Two people, Yang and Yin
Inside themselves they discovered
A link, a bond, something close
How can this possibly be?

They wondered, marveled,
Their worlds were changed,
Someone else, exactly the same,
How can this possibly be?

They pondered, troubled
And came to the other for advice
Seeing how they knew the other
Two people, one mind together
How can this possibly be?

At first, it was funny,
Soon became alarming,
Then they accepted.
How it could possibly be.

psychoanalyze
look with your own eyes
peer through trackless depths
of the chasm known as me

I wish the world could know
the way my winds do blow
read my mind like magazines
or seedy tabloid bullshit

then look on me astonished
so wanting to admonish
I let you in and all you'll say
is "you are f***ing crazy"

he he, uhm... yeah, thats poetry for ya! another genuine five minute poem.

***RaiRai*** · 11-21-2004, 07:06 AM

Massacre Maiden. (Written in my sleep. Yay?)

The white mist settles upon the long open road
Cars scattered like toys along the tarmac
The fires rage, as the wind still blows
I tread carefully across the blood covered track

I shall not cut my soles upon the glass
I will not succumb to natures burnt out fury
Cries and screams pour forth, but I will pass
I'll leave the 'truth' up to the jury

I see the injured laying helpless
I watch the dead, laid row by row
Leave the scene, no sins to confess
Of what happened, none shall know

My lips are sealed, closed by my will
I will not speak words of the storm
Memories of past haunt me still
Another massacre maiden born.

Kind of in song form, but songs are poetry too... Sometimes, it's just hard to tell someone what you feel...

It's sad to think that nobody cares, and sadder still it's true.
I got the courage after quite some time to bare my soul to you.
When it came the time, I spoke my piece, and every word was true,
I waited long for your reply; for what it is you'd do.

So why oh why did I feel this way?
Why did it happen to be me?
So why oh why did I have to say,
The feelings I have for thee?

It's sad I have so many cares, and sadder still today,
That when I tried desribe my heart, I stumbled for what to say.
Forgetting why I'm telling you, got stranded on the way,
And now I feel so penitent, and heart filled with dismay.

So why oh why did I feel this way?
Why did it happen to be me?
So why oh why did I have to say,
The feelings I have for thee?

I never meant to love like this, I never meant to feel,
I never meant to think of you, or give my heart to steal,
I never meant for all of this, it seems a sortid deal,
But please forgive my weakened heart, and help my soul to heal.

A co-poem! Me and Osterbaum this time. I did the odd lines, he did the even.

You are going so very far away....
I wonder where it is you stray...
What other thing has taken your heart?
Who is this person in your life playing the greater part?
If what I am thinking is true....
Then I fear that I still don't have a clue
Was it with me that things were not right?
Or was it so that the fault was yours, so be, it might
I now stand by myself, cold and alone.
All empty from inside, hollowed...
You were the one, you gave me reason to start
So I will never get used to us being apart...
I watched you leave, my back to the wind.
That other bastard just looked at me and grinned
Since you are gone, another may be for me.
But when, where and who? For that we will just have to wait and see...
