All gone

Nothing matters
It’s all gone
I’m empty and she doesn’t care
It doesn’t matter
How I feel or what I say
She’s far away
And wouldn’t stay
No matter what I say
It wouldn’t matter anyway
I used to wait for the day
Just to hear her say
I miss you
Guess I was the biggest fool
Didn’t want to think you were cruel
I’m lonely now and broken
Left without even one token
Of love or caring
It all died on my birthday
How could I be so daring?
Thought you would understand
Why I was so upset
Instead you got mad at me
And hung up on me
It’s been a week
You wouldn’t even talk to me
How could you do that to me?
Nothing matters at all
I used to stand so tall
Now I wish for the stars
To cover up all these scars
Far away and small
Wonder if your thinking about me at all
Again I’m a fool for thinking
Guess I should be drinking
If only that were the way to get rid of my sadness
And bring me some gladness
Like I used to have
When I was with you
It was long ago
Why can’t I just let it go?
Like you have
You don’t feel me anymore
You’ve stopped keeping score
It’s all gone, as are you
Now I’m left with nothing to do
But brew
Over what once was
Just because
I’m an idiot and cared
And that is why I dared
To say what I said on my birthday
But I shouldn’t have shared
Because now I feel scared
And lost
And lonely
And hurt
And angry
And stupid
To think there ever was a cupid
For the two of us
Why did I make such a fuss?
It’s all over
I should just roll over
Because nothing matters anymore
You think I’m a bore
You think I’m a chore
And probably a whore
I can’t erase my mistakes
I believed you had forgiven me
I believed you loved me
And even when that part of it ended
I believed that at least there was something that mended
And that we had a friendship
You said you still adored me
You said that your heart still tightened
And that you would become frightened
When I was in trouble
And caught in some bubble
I believed you would help me
Get out of the rubble
Of this life that I live
In Binghamton while you are in Texas
Instead of staying close to me
You chose to make distance
I felt it but ignored it
I thought it was what you needed
I thought I would give it to you
Because you were my friend
And I loved you
I didn’t mind letting you go
I just didn’t want to lose you for good
Yet I did.
How could I know that you would
Let me go?
You let go fast
You forgot our past
Yes we had a past
A good past, a bad past
A past nonetheless
I understand you though
You don’t want to remember it
You’d rather forget what we had
It is easier that way
I understand that
Who would want to remember the hurt?
So you let me go fast and furious
Anytime I tried to talk about our past
You ran away fast
And I was left last
And I acted rash
It made me so sad though
That I was so slow
To recognize what you did
Long ago
And what others could see
But I never wanted it to be like that
And so I sat, and got fat
Denying what you could see
Which was what could again never be.
You saw the truth in front of us
Coming at us like a bus
About to hit
Difference between you and me was,
You got out of the way
And I chose to stay
In the way
Of a tragedy
Which was my soul shattered
You had sense enough to scatter
While I was like, "what's the matter"?
What a fool I was
Thinking that you still loved me like you once did
When instead you saw me as a kid
A fool and youngster
Naïve to the core
I have always been so unsure
This is not your problem though
And you made that clear
When you forgot all that I held dear

He broke her heart

She's fifteen years old, and experienced love,
she's been hurt more than she can count,
and been disgraced.

Shes been teased, made fun of, and called every name,
she's old enough to know, its never a game.
She fell in love with a man four years her age,
she feel so deeply, so pathetically, and he made her pay.

He took her heart and broke it,
he took her soul and shattered it,
he took her smile and bent it,
He took her laugh and made it vanish.

She no longer smiles, no longer laughs,
just sits in the corner, thinking about the past,
to when she could just sing and dance,
when she had a full heart, and a soul to match.

But now all she can do is cry and cut,
watch as her blood drops to the floor,
See her vision start to fade,
As she whispers his name.

Laying upon the floor, knife from her hand, now
lay by the door,
she lays there, for a second or more,
and remembers life when he was there,
before he left her, for another.

"Honey, I'm home!" he'd call,
and she'd run to him, laughing so hard,
"Baby, I missed you!" she'd kiss him,
and he'd return her kiss and he hugged her,
so tight, so close, always closer
than before.

Now her eyes are bright,
bright with memories,
seeing herself fight with her parents,
seeing herself fight with her lover,
seeing herself doing things she shouldn't have,
oh she has so much to regret,
and no way to make it up.

Suddenly, her eyes go dull,
as her body begins to go cold,
her eyes are now, slowly starting to close,
as her blood runs on the floor.

On her gravestone, it read:
Here lays Elizabeth, with heart of gold,
she loved everyone, man and animal.
But to one man, her heart she gave,
and he hurt her so badly, shes in the grave.
Let the angel who lies here, rest in peace,
Because no one deserves it more than she,
the dear.

Memory

Memory is a part of me
Memories you want to see
Memories from before
Memories you left outside my door
Your chestnut hair
Your melting stare
Your green colored eyes
The memories I have inside
Your cute smile
Our precious time
The night without lights
The memories I kept alive
The memories in the past
The memories that will last
The memories I have
Is from someone I love!

- Arianne Pulma

Perfect Love

All we had of laughs and tears,
We both kept it a secret so no one hears,
I thought we could stay together,
But I knew these days wouldn't last forever,
She first treated me like a friend,
But I knew this couldn't be the end,
I saw the sun rising upon the shores,
Who would stay in while she could be outdoors,
We used to have fun under the rain,
Such moments were magical that words cannot explain,
Till that day when we had our first kiss,
That day is in my mind and I will always miss,
The love we shared grew strongly and fast,
She was everything to me, my present, future and past,
Words cannot describe the beauty of her eyes,
She is perfect that she can never tell lies,
The happiness of the world is felt in her smile,
Describing it would take years and years, not just a while,
All the love we felt was real,
It was innocent, perfect and pure that no one can feel,
Keeping us from each other would be tough,
Even the strongest power on earth won't be enough,
She was the closest one to my heart,
Nothing in the world could make us apart,
She thought I didn't need her that much,
But all what I needed was only her touch,
She is the one I loved with all my might,
The one dream to kiss tonight.

Today

Finally, today was the day...
Just listen to every word I have to say...
You are the reason why I'm smiling at the start of the day...
Just seeing you read this poem takes my breath away...
Every time you are in pain, I wanna be there for you...
I wanna fight away all your tears...
and replace them with happiness
and take away all your fears...
Your heart beat is racing and you don't know why...
but all I have to tell you is that
I will love you till I die...
Just follow me and my lead...
I wouldn't trade you for the world,
you are all that I need...
The day we met, I can't explain the way I felt....
Feeling all these emotions that I can't even help...
Every little thing we do is so special to me....
We are meant to be and thats what I want you to see...
Look into your future and don't think of your past...
Just stick with me and know that we will last...
I wanna give you all my love and heart...
Would you give me chance and a brand new start???
and I promise to treat you exactly like the first day...
and I promise that I will never go away....
Elizabeth I really do love you....
if I didn't I would have never cried for you....

- Michael

Given Chance

Somehow it exists in my own little world
Knowing it will always be a curse without sign
Indeed, can only be seen and be understood
In someone's truthful sight and fearless tongue

Aware or unaware, indeed I made a mistake
Hopelessly without your guiding light
I am afraid, lost and greatly in disguise
Believe me if only I could undo the past
I will do it before your gentle heart starts to ache

Sooner or later I know my life would be in the next
Bear in mind without your sincerest forgiveness
I am miserable and in great loneliness
Without you, I know I will crawl
Before I will learn to walk again
Believe me when I say this to you
You are my life and I still needed you

If given a chance
From now on
I will hold your heart
As gently as I can
Just to love and keep you
Once again…
Forevermore…

- Herofil Olarte

Start New

Love Lasting,
I guess you could call it a thing,
4 yrs it carried,
And now it's all trying to be buried,
My first real love,
Got lost above,
And threw everything away,
There was nothing more to say,
After so many times he broke my heart,
It was like a shooting dart,
So many times,
So many crimes,
To much to handle,
So now here I am starting brand new,
Always wondering how I really got threw,
Now it's hard to trust,
Even though I know I must,
But after the past,
How long will the truth last,
I always get hurt,
I always feel like I'm just dirt,
Are there people out there that are true,
I truly wish I knew,
I want to be happy,
And not sappy,
I want someone to be true to me,
Please help me see,
Make me believe there's good not only bad,
Because bad is all I ever had,
I always go for those bad boys,
That are like little toys,
That just play and play,
And there's nothing you can say,
There's nothing you can do,
Or they'll just forget all about you and be like who?
Like they never knew,
I just want to live my life,
And stop being stabbed with a knife,
Right where my heart is.
I just need to free my mind,
And really look what I need to find,
Im sick of being sad,
And that's what I feel like that all I have ever had,
Now I want to start brand new,
And find my one true Boo.

- Kristen A Szymanski

Stay

These past weeks have been confusing
I hope it is not you that I am losing
Sometimes I get scared and have some fears
These fears quite often lead to tears
The fights, the words can hurt so much
When all I want is to feel your touch
Not the touch of your physical part
But more the touch of emotional heart
Sometimes it seems like we both doubt
But you're the one I cannot live without
Some things we say don't sound the same
Like saying goodbye to just a name
We look at each other and it is love that we see
But look deeper and see what I'm trying to be
I'm trying to be the person you never had
To put a smile on your face even when you're sad
I want to be there for you through thick and thin
Especially when stress causes your head to spin
I want to be that person that you go to
And make you feel better by saying I love you
Because love is not just a word to me
It means much more than words of three
It is more a feeling that I cannot explain
It's a feeling at times that I cannot sustain
But love is different when I'm with you
It feels immense and feels so true
Please don't worry it will be just fine
Give me your hand and put your heart to mine
We have something that most people don't know
And because of that our love will grow
So baby please trust that you are the best
Very unique and far different from the rest
Do not take this poem in a negative way
All I want is for you to stay
Our love is complete, and so strong
There is no way we will go wrong
Let's make a one from the number two
Stare in each others eyes and say I LOVE YOU!!!

- Emanuel Sifuentes

Past

Time past so fast
I wish that it would last
so i look in the past
for the answers that we need to live
to better the path
that we need to succeed
to help our future to see
was it meant for us to be
but only in god's eyes we can see

- Exzaviera McGowan

Real Dream

The same thoughts running through her mind,
Of someone who is warm and kind,
Wishing the past was once more,
As she lays alone, curled, on the floor.

The tears slowly wet her cheeks,
As she counts the past in terms of weeks,
Drawing faint hearts on the page,
Knowing that this would always age.

But failing to see why things would fold,
Looking deeply depressed and feeling cold,
Thinking things just aren't right,
As she lays alone all through the night.

She closes her eyes and drifts to sleep,
Seeing him with every heartbeat,
Touching his lips and holding him so,
Telling him she'll never let go.

She looks into his deep, dark eyes,
And knows the past wasn't hidden in lies,
Their lips touch gently and in she leans,
This seams so real, it can't be a dream.

It feels as though this should be fate,
But soon enough she slowly awakes,
To lay alone and still on the floor,
Wishing to have this back once more.
