A collection of Poems some as old as middle school |
Here I sit at the bar I’ve never really been alone before Song after song I sip the same drink Night after night I cry myself to sleep I go out by myself If I even bother to leave the house I drive down the road With no place to go My phone doesn’t ring I have no one to call How could I be so gullible I thought you were my best friend Imagine my shock When I discovered I had been wrong all along ************************************* My heart aches But you don’t care Tears fall My eyes stay blurred But you don’t give a damn Way back when You were so sly The cruelest of the cruel You’re the type who Attacks by surprise You seem so perfect Just like a dream come true When you finally swing your first blow My guards down My hearts gone You’re completely in control At least with most jerks It’s your choice to let your heart get broken Not destroyed from the inside By a modern day Benedict Arnold Someone I first thought of as a friend Then when wasn’t looking Slipped and feel in love with The one who broke my heart in two You ************************************* Well, you’re a friend That’s something even you can’t deny Although sometimes I think you’d like to try The Lord only knows why In the beginning we weren’t very smart We tried to look away from our hearts Promises were made That very same day Eventually we knew they’d be broken How foolish can two people be To shut their eyes purposefully No matter how good your intentions You can’t stop what’s meant to be ********************************** For You For you My tears still fall My nights remain long never calm Three kisses we shared My mouth still aches My body trembles My mind can’t concentrate For you My dreams will always be Locked in what only my heart can see ************************************* She Knew After all these years She’s through with the tears The heartache, the pain He won’t be causing again She had mended her heart With tape and glue But nothing could withstand The final blow he threw She picked up the pieces That once were her heart Before she begin putting them together She knew Some were too shattered Others were gone But at least she could go on Before she started She knew He would never notice And there was no way He could ever understand How could he He never gave a damn ********************** I called to say I’m sorry But my whole world blew up in smoke My life was shattered My soul set free Like a bird it was thrown And told to fly or die But I’m not a bird You were my wings So I crashed without a song to sing You were right when you said it was over I’ll never be the same You were there for me And I for you Only now I know the truth A foolish heart A foolish girl A lying heart with no soul A make-believe friendship In which I depended too much The lessons learned And all is done The song I had to sing Was never sung ****************************** Tears fall Hearts get broken Dreams die Just like you and I Once-upon-a time Exists only in fairy tales Forever hereon after’s Mean nothing anymore I used to be Cinderella You were my Prince Charming But the second I moved into the palace I knew my stepmother Wasn’t the evil one at all I kissed a man I thought was a prince He gave me warts instead Now I know I’m Cinderella And you are my prince charming But now you’ve come And your scars will always haunt me People told you lies Their damage destroyed us completely A tornado struck But while the castle remains in one piece My heart’s shattered on the floor I refilled the moat After the drought dried it up You stood and laughed As you watched my tear drops fall Your cruelty dismays me Because the man I love Betrayed me ************************************ I stay up half the night Trying to wait for daylight Dreams I avoid With sad songs I sing along Tears on my pillow Cried in vain Stand at attention To solute you The taste of your kisses still lingers With the morning light I awake My lips bruised But only with heart-ache If I were to loose you My heart cold recover But with hands of steal Holding strong With an iron grip You will always claim me A love living long Never given the chance to crash and burn You and me together forever will always be Heart and soul intertwined Apart forever Yet always together **************************** The Match One by one we enter the rink The announcer introduces us Starting with you The crowd goes wild You’re the champ I now know my heart Never stood a chance The crowd quiets down The announcer calls my name I step towards the middle Like a trusting animal About to be slaughtered With trusting child-like eyes I look into yours My heart stops I fall in love You lead me for a while Then when I trust you completely You swing the final blow As I draw my last breath I hear the announcer make the call The crowd cheers I look up at you My innocence so pure I see your triumphant smile And with my last breath I whisper I love you ********************************* She watched her dreams go up in smoke She lit the match Then threw in a torch She added some gasoline to make the Flames grow higher Warmed by the tears trapped inside her Happiness was by no means in her reach But to close to her grasp for comfort or peace The spirits from above “Tisk Tisked” at the sight For the child they watched grow up in Such sorrow Was now a woman Whose destiny had sealed her fate One night she saw the end and he Wasn’t beside her What was to be Came in the form of a dream To the one she loved and thought she knew The truth was told As she watched on Her hope joined hands with her dreams They moved on Now they’re gone The man she loved, her hope, heart and dreams ****************************************** Little Bo-Peep Once-upon-a time She thought he cared But when she needed him He wasn’t there Her nursery rhymes started Ending wrong When it was over There were no sheep So Little Bo-Peep Cried herself to sleep He was the only one she ever needed The devil himself But she wouldn’t believe it He cast his spell right from the start Her heart was his to torture There never was any doubt She called and called There was no answer He had driven her crazy So she gave up She stopped to say good-bye And found her sheep grazing Now Little Bo-Peep can go to sleep *********************************** |
