My heart is tearing
My soul is withering
My mind is straining
Because of my worry
About our future...

My mind tells me to be happy,
To be glad that you just might accomplish the impossible,
To encourage you to go for your dreams,
Even if those dreams don't involve me...

My heart tells me it's throbbing,
It's hurt beyond any help,
Because a life without you
Would shred it all to pieces...

My soul is at war with itself,
Knowing you could never give up such an opportunity
Yet terrified of that slightest possibility
That you will easily forget me and that love we share...

"If you love something,
Set it free.
If it comes back t

Pain

Love,
Your love for me,
Encompassed my heart,
Persuaded me to believe you
And fall for your dirty little tricks.

Trust,
My trust for you,
Was something you didn't deserve.
I believed all your empty promises
And hallow words without a second thought.

Sweet bliss
Of knowing you were mine,
Knowing you thought I was the one for you,
Or so I so ignorantly believed
As you told me day after day.

Lies,
Your lies,
So twisted yet so convincing,
Each fabrication poisoning my heart,
Without me noticing.

My heart,
A gift to you,
So delicate and fragile,
Yet you threw it to the ground
And laughed as it shattered before your feet.

[Im]Perfect

That girl over there,
Who is spoken about behind her back
About her flashy clothes,
Her ego as large as the universe.
Yet no one knows this is her only way of becoming that perfect person
She's always dreamt of being.

That boy, who fools around while playing sports,
Falling, tripping, knocking into other people on purpose,
Just to get a laugh out of the class.
Yet no one knows that he is ignored at home,
And being the class clown is his only way of receiving attention.

That girl, with dyed hair the color of blood,
And too many bracelets to count on her arms,
With a mask of a smile always on her face.
Yet no one knows of the sca

Do You Remember, Love?

Do you remember, love?
How you would tempt me,
So expertly, so slyly,
Blinding me with desperation,
Or was it loneliness?
Oh, how naive I was,
How young and gullible,
Yet you twisted me and toyed with me,
As if I was your puppet on a string.

Do you remember, love?
How I fell for it,
I fell for your promises of happiness,
And your lies about my "happy ever after" with my prince.
It was pure bliss,
I was flying above the clouds with love,
Yet the love was so short lived.

Do you remember, love?
When your devious plot truly succeeded,
How you kicked me to the curb
With nothing but a chipped heart
And a flickering soul....

Innocence Crushed

Why must the tears fall,
Flowing down her cheeks,
Streaming down the the face of an angel,
Filled with despair and anguish.

She lays on the dirt floor,
Once so innocent, so pure,
A bird among the clouds,
Oblivious to the unknown world surrounding her.

Always laughing, smiling,
Her beauty dazzling.
She dances through life
Without a care in the world.

Where is that girl now?
He wonders as his eyes gaze upon her,
And her hair that has lost it's glow,
And her dress, tattered and in ruins.

Her fragile body shakes uncontrollably
With each of her cries of anguish.
Ever sob stabs his heart painfully,
Giving him just a slight taste

I Need You

There are those days
That I can't believe how lucky I am to have you,
And then there are the days
That I have no clue how someone as crazy as you
Could have stolem my heart.

No matter what,
I could never fall out of love with you.
There's always that small part in my heart
That belongs to you and only you.

No one else can compare
To your electric blue eyes
Or your never ending humor,
Or even you confidence in everything you do.
Like the blazing sun,
You could never be replaced...

Yet you can't see how badly
I need you to take that step,
That leap of trust that I need

I need
Your arms wrapped around me,
Holding me as if you

Make Me ForgetJust make it stop...
make it all go away!
Please...

I need to forget...
forget it all...
If I don't soon,
I'm going to break...

Please just make all the pain go away...
please...help me...I can't handle this anymore...

I miss it too much...
I miss him too much...
I miss the love I felt for him...the happiness I felt with him...
So please...
Stop it...stop this pain and make me forget my treasured
memories with him...
Please...

I'm becoming too unstable...
I can't handle this pain, it's not good for me...
I try so hard to forget him, to ignore my broken heart...but it's
just not working!

I just can't forget him...
I can'

..::Heartbreak::..

You used to be here every day
to comfort me; keep pain away.

We stayed on the phone for several hours-
-even texted during showers.

Now I'm sitting here; alone
sitting by my silent phone.

Finally; when the phone rings
you mention many horrid things:

of another girl, who claims to love you,
but she'll never love you like I did; and still do.

You have changed my life forever,
and I have learned not to trust; not ever.

You never loved me, not once, you lied.
It feels as though my heart has died.

You have no idea how long I've cried
and I can't stop, believe me, I've tried.

I wrote this poem with all things true
including that I'

Thunderstorm

Clouds high in the sky,
Impending above her head.
It's gray pigment releasing the darkest feeling,
A mood of confusion,
Of being incomplete,
Of feeling lost,
Of the ultimate pain and sadness.
The clouds reflect in the girl's eyes…

She stares at the clouds,
The aching overflowing in her,
Submerging her once innocent heart.
She can't help but wonder "Why me?
How could I have ever,
Ever,
Deserved this pain?"

Droplets falling,
Staining the world drip by drip,
As the clouds release tears
Filled with despair,
Anguish,
Discomfort.
The rain only patters on the girl's window…

Tears stream down her face,
As she wishes

Should be Happy

It's so strange, maybe even painful,
To see you smiling with your arm around her.
I have to wonder:
Do you like her more than me?
Is she the one that you've fallen for,
Or are you two just friends?
These questions gnaw at my soul
And cause me to toss in my sleep.
How can I even try to relax at a time like this?
When the guy that I
Maybe,
Sort of,
Possibly
Am in love with is with another girl.
Should I be upset?
We're friends, though, right?
So friends should be happy for friends.
I should be happy that you've found someone
Who can make you smile
Like I try to do every time that I'm by your side.
I should be glad for you,

Let's Talk About YouIf I'm dead before sunrise,
Will you mourn my demise,
Or sing with joy at my fall,
Or perhaps you won't notice at all?
Why should you?

If I tell you my theories and thoughts,
Will you send me to an institution of sorts,
Or just laugh at my fears,
Or be blind to my tears?
How could you?

If I'm insane by midnight,
Will you finally see my plight,
Or simply sigh and call it a phase,
Or blame some other teen craze?
Why would you?

If you're dead before sunrise,
I will not mourn your demise,
Nor sing with joy at your fall,
I'll Just act like I don't care at all.
Well, it fooled you, didn't it?

TrustWhat is trust?
Is it that moment of stupididy where one lets their guard down,
And opens their vulnerabilities to someone?
Why would anyone want that?
Why did I want that?

Is it possible
To trust again and again after so many stabbings
In the back and the heart and the mind by those I once loved?
Why would anyone want that?
Why did I want that?

Could there possibly be
A person on this planet who can be trusted,
Who won't turn around and break me like all the others?
Why would anyone want that?
Why do I want that?

Tears

Vision blurred
From all the tears.
Heart torn
Because of such unbearable pain.
Soul diminished
In all the emotion being forced upon you.
Mind confused
As of what to do next.
Faith being questioned
Because you ask yourself,
Why would you be given all this pain?
What have you done to deserve this torture?

The waterfall of tears
Fall ever so gently
Down your cheeks.
Each droplet a portion of the pain
Tearing at your body,
Attempting to take control of your mind.

The emotion mounding higher in you
From all the stress, the worry, the pain...
It makes you question yourself:
What am I living for?

With each sob wracking your che

I am Sorry

I am sorry.
Those three little words cannot compare to the pain in my chest,
No many how many times they are repeated.
Being single this Valentine's Day,
I sat, and thought through the choices of my past loves,
Of how I couldn't apologize enough for the hurt I threw upon them.

One day,
You may forgive me,
But I will never forgive myself
For the hurt I've caused you.
You entrusted me with your heart
With your secrets, your past.
I did the same, and thought I would be with you forever.
Yet, that day came, when the fear crept into me…
I gave you lies,
A reason to hate me.
Yet the truth of delivering that pain,
Which I will

Why does this all seem new to her?
This drug, this life saver, this feeling
Everyone calls love.
She's fallen into it, out of it,
So many times, it's like a routine:
Fall in love,
Get her heart smashed to pieces,
Or, even worse,
Break a heart,
And feel the guilt of it resting in the back of her mind.

All this experience,
This pain,
Yet this feels oh- so- different this time,
As if talking to him makes her feel at peace,
Away from the worry, the pain, the stress…
It's a feeling she's never had before,
And she loves every second of it.
How strange is it that her heart skips a beat when he compliments her?
Is it a coincid

Fire and Flames, Chapters 1,2,3,4

CHAPTER 1

Walking into a pitch- black room, without being able to even see my hand in front of my face, I toy with a button on my shirt, fear rushing through me. There's no light, no way I can tell where I am. With only the echo of my shoes slapping the ground, I am forced to believe there is no way out of this gloomy place, no matter how long I walk.
Suddenly, a glimmer catches my eye up ahead, and I stare back in disbelief, thinking my eyes are playing a cruel trick on me. Yet as I look closer, the worry of finding the way out is like a weight lifted off my shoulders; the light shines again, stronger this time, and as the realization th

Love is Everything

Lying on her bed, Melanie slouches, phone in hand, a smile lingering on her lips. For the past couple of hours, she and Mitchell, two teens who have been couple for four months, have been texting back and forth about everything, and anything: the past, the future, their feelings. Only fourteen years old, Mel cannot get over this strange feeling that has slowly been growing and transforming inside her. After a few weeks, she began to realize the truth.
This different, new feeling was love.
Yes, she knew, and was told by others, that she was much too young for love, that it was nothing but a passing feeling. Yet, no matter how hard she tried

Forever and Always Chapter 1

With her fingers impatiently tapping the table, Avery groans and glances at her watch; its 7:32, more than an hour and half past the time Mason said he would come to visit. "Mason's always late, but if he was going to be this late, I'm sure he would've called," thought Avery, exhausted from a lengthy day at work. As an assistant fashion designer, she worked all day attempting to meet her boss's deadlines for projects she was given.
During work, no matter how hard she tried, she could not seem to get Mason Greybeck out of her mind. While designing a new outfit, her eyes would slowly find their way back to her left hand, where

Broken Promises

Literature / Poetry / Emotional / Free Verse

Days pass on like years
Without you by my side,
Life feels so dull
Without your mesmerizing eyes and goofy smile,
My heart pains with aching
Without the never- ending joy I have when I see you...

Missing you,
Missing your jokes,
The way you look at me with those eyes,
The way you talk to me,
The way you tell me how important I am to you,
The way you tell me that you love me...

It all points to being love struck,
But I'm scared to trust you,
To love you back,
To be open with you in a way I never have with anyone before....

You promise that you'll never leave me,
You promise that you'll love me forever,
You promise that you'll help me through anything,
But you know,
And I know,
That you have a tendency of breaking your promises...

I wrote this when I was away from my crush, and I missed him... Some people thought it was about being away from an ex. I guess it could be taken either way. Anyway, the picture is not mine, here is the link to it: [link]
