The first poem was a poem an ex boyfriend wrote for me when we were dating. The second is a poem I wrote later. I think they fit well together.
Loneliness
As I walked in a haze of loneliness
She came to warm my heart
She touched my hand and all grew still
Her eyes brightened and my blood boiled
I knew then that I needed her, so much to fill
As I held her, I melted like snow
So much beauty was mine to hold
When she's gone, I want to cry
When she's near, I can only sigh
If she loves me, I'll be whole.
If she needs me, mine will be known.
The one thing so hard to say,
But I will tell her I love her....someday.

Angels? No where...
I've been called an angel,
So loving and so pure.
If I am your definition fo "angel"
Heaven must left everyone in.
I wasn't created to be your salvation.
You need me to be pure,
but it turns me to the dark that much more.
I need you to save me and all you do is cling.
We both fall and slide down deeper.
My clipped wings can't do a thing until I get away from the ulitmate dark.
My tormentor, my lover...
You.
::end::
I think this is one of the last poems I didn't write myself.
-------------------------------
When I saw you,
I was afraid to meet you.
When I met you,
I was afraid to know you.
When I knew you,
I was afraid to like you.
When I liked you,
I was afraid to love you.
Now that I love you,
I'm afraid to lose you.

Another poem I haven't written.
----------------
Here I stand on my own,
No one to turn to, no where to go,
On my own, pretending you're beside me
On my own, I walk with you 'til morning.
On my own, my fragile heart aches,
On my own, this pain I cannot take.
Right now my mind is in a daze,
I feel isolated, not wanting to communicate.
I love you more than words can explain,
And trying to think of those words drives me insane.
You have a precious new whore in your life,
One you think could be your wife.
Life is complicated and unfair,
'Cause the bitch is so damn ugly I can't compare.
My heart is aching and my body is sore,
I just can't take your tourture anymore.
The time has come, you must pay,
I'll get you real soon...one of these days.
Be very afraid when you sleep at night,
You just might wake to me and a rusty knife.
A knife that will tear your to shreds,
As I happily watch you bleed in your bed.
I told you not to fuck with me,
But obviously you did not take me seriously.
Now as I sit here in my cell,
I once again remind you...PAYBACKS ARE HELL!
::end::
Again, another poem I have not written. I do like it.
-----------------------------------
Taken for granted...yes I've been there a thousand times before...and I am just as guilty...I can't deny my own faults...The things we never see...The things we never feel...until something breaks...it all goes wrong...and maybe if we had known...maybe if we had just for once considered the possiblilty of the often inevitable...we could prevent these little tragdedies...
Taken for a fool...and yest I admit that I have played a jester to a heartless court...I have stumbled and I have faked it...I have smiled when I oly knew of sorrow...and I can be so bitter about life's little casualities...Taken by the wind...just like the song I've hear a thousand times...full of mysticism and always searching for buried treasures and proof that there is so much more to me...so much more than the ordinary day tells...
Taken too many times by fear and anger and never have I fought my deamons more fiercely than when they threaten my position in this twisted fairie story...I am not without malice...I am not without imagination...and I have take everything I can stand...
These are poems I did for Speech contest. I personally have written one of them. The name of my piece was "Conformity" and as a speech piece it runs under 10 minutes (I'm almost a senior in college now; it's been a while). I went to State with this. I'm quite proud. So without further ado, the poems themselves...
--------------------------------
"Peer Presure"
Look upon yourself
And tell me, what do you see?
Look upon yourself
And is that who you want to be?
Look upon yourself
Or is that who you are?
Now look at your "friends"
Do you have any similarities of style?
Now look at your "friends"
Are you who they want you to be?
Now look at your "friends"
Must you be that they are?
::end::
"To Do What You Did To Me"
MY PAIN IS NOT MY DEPRESSION
MY LIFE IS NOT MY DEPRESSION
It's yours
YOU ALWAYS WANTED ME TO CHANGE
YOU ALWAYS WANTED ME TO BECOME
I DIDN'T
I HAVEN'T
I WON'T
It's yours
YOU ALWAYS TEASED ME
WHY DID YOU PAY SO MUCH ATTENTION TO ME
YOU MADE ME FEEL LIKE A FUCKING* GOD
THEN WHEN I LEFT
YOUR FRIENDS WEREN'T THERE ANYMORE
THEY WERE OUT TO FIND SOME OTHER JACKASS
TO DO WHAT YOU DID TO ME
My schooling has taught me one thing-
Don't become what bred you
::end::
* Note: For all of those still in High school that are thinking this sounds like a good piece to preform, you will have to remove the word "fucking" from the poem, but you are allowed to say "jackass".
Untitled (The poem I wrote)
We've done all these things to make you happy
Yet, we're not
HIdden behind a mask of happiness
All we used to want was acceptance
We accept you
Your barriers of "cool"
We have our own
We fade into the background of "your world"
Into a world of our own imagination
You wouldn't last a a day as me
Or as the girl in the hall
The one you only notice for a few seconds
Then she fades into the background of your thoughts
I know all too well how she feels
Do all these things to make you happy
Put her life on hold
She'll learn
What it's like to get fed up and feel the outburst of pent up rage
She'll cut her hair like she wants
Do what she wants
Define her world as a part of a world you have no understanding of
And you'll just call her names
All because she refused to make you happy
::end::
"Criticism"
Why do you criticise me?
You riddicule me
You say that I am different
You throw glass at the way I am
They way I dress
The way I act
You don't even know me
Who are you to label me!
You say that I am jealous of you
Why would I want to be like you?
The lovest point in my life
Would be conforming to your standards
::end::
Here is a poem that didn't make the cut for the contest, but I still love it anyway.
"To Be Used and Called the User"
To be used, and called the user
To be raped, and called the rapist
To be drugged, and called the junky
To be murdered, and called the murderer
To be a victim, called the victimizer
To be in the eyes of other, but not in the eyes of truth
Unfortunately the eyes of the masses create truth
Doesn't life suck?
Yes, I believe it does.
::end::
Kick your shoes off and stay a while
While you’re at it, take off those pants too
All I want you wearing is the moonlight
And my kisses
Come here my darling
Don’t speak
Don’t ruin this
All I want to feel is your skin pressed against mine
Fuck all those formalities
Just take me
Don’t think
Give into those primal urges
That’s it
Harder
Shower me with kisses so intense
I don’t have to feel
I’m starving
Let me taste you
Over and over
You beg for more
When you’re tired hon
Just close your eyes
Fall asleep in my arms
Good night my love
There won’t be anything of me
But memories when you wake up
