Okay...this is my 1st poetry thread. I hope you like it



I cannot fill this emptiness
No memories to remiss
How could I lose something that was already there?
How could emptiness leave a spot so bare?
What could have been,
what should have been,
Will never be
But you will always be apart of me
I dream of you behind hidden tears
I call your name, but nobody hears nor answers
Selfishly my heart receives an angered tug
At the thought of just one hug
How others don't realize or appreciate
That to hear a voice that you love, they don't have to wait
I would give anything, pay any fee
Just to see you standing next to me
To hear your voice, your laugh, and to ask you a question...
But this an empty confession
These dreams cannot come true
For you don't ever want to see me again
I can be strong and try to go on alone
An inner strength I have come to own
For without your warmth this world seems so cold and pointless
As my hart feels now
But I take life in stride and try to become bold
Though you are not here to comfort me with your presents
Through my life you still reflect
I will never hear your voice, nor feel your touch
I can try to accept this
but this love I have for you
Is impossible to ignore

yay you posted it I still really like it yes

The spell you cast on me is now broken
My head is now my own once more
I am no longer your palm , I am not a token
For you to use to comfort your soul

Its been so long since we have spoken
But still every time I think a thought
That strays your way my anger flares
Too many times I would wake up
In your arms that were never there

You branded me as your own
Carving your name into my burning flesh
and the entire time you were unaware
Of how I drifted away, out of your reach

I'm floating away
Running from you
Drifting up to the sun and it burns
Melting my flesh away, melting your brand
And I'm free

Nicely done my friend. Been a toy for a woman eh?

I haven't posted my poems in here for awhile. This is a poem I wrote about a month ago and I wasn't so sure if I should post it, but here it is....






Will you run away with me?
I need to know that you are there,
For the time is slowly slipping away from my fingertips, I have lost
Everything,
The sensation for pain is all that breathes inside me.
Pain is all I have to gain. It is screaming inside my veins. Am I still
Breathing?
I need to scream,
I need to run,
Run away,
Will you run away with me?
I am trapped in these chains of lost time.
I itch to let my blood run free from my veins.
I know of their desires to be free.
You can't hear me,
I find my bloods freedom,
And cut,
I cut so deep this freedom also belongs to me.
I feel as though I am flying,
I can no longer go back to my chains,
I'll make sure of that.
I am flying in my own world of freedom.
As you find me lying in a pool of my own blood.
I have run away.
As my my empty body lay on the ground.
I whisper in the wind,
"Runaway with me?"
Will you?

Just sitting here
As the thoughts sweep through my mind
They morph into tears
They roll down my face
That change into puddles of sorrow
I try to fight back my emotions
But to no avail
I don't know why
But this how life is
Confusing. causing me to feel lost
Lost in my own thoughts
Over analyzing
Things that are simple
Become complex.
I'm left confused
Broken into pieces.
I find myself tracing back the fallen pieces along the way
To see where I lost you.
Where I want wrong
How could I lose the most amazing thing in life
True love.
I'll never get to the see the stars
In your eyes
The fireworks that go off
When you smile.
With 6 billion people in the world
Not one will ever come close to you.

Damn Leo, this stuff is GREAT. oh Those last two actually brought tears to my eyes. cry

Wow. Love your poems Leo.M.

Seriously... so touching

Wow the last 2 were so amazing!

There so deep I can really feel what your saying.
