Come to me Come to me in my dreams, and then I'll finally see your face again! And thus the night will save me some Of the horrid despair I'd suffered from.

Go Away Smoldering with rage I turned to him "What right do you think you have? You think you can just ignore me? Beat me. Hurt me. Insult me. I cared for you. I cooked for you. I cleaned your wretched house for you. I've lied for you. I've cried for you. I wept out my poor red eyes for you! You take your things, your dirty ...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Dark poems: 516 of 1148

The Perfect Antidote As I look down in my hands It all becomes so clear, The pills I took, the acid drunk, The knife wounds through the year. What I felt, this empty pit, When I question the meaning of me... Nothing had made sense before, No answer validity. Are friends true friends if they forget To call when they said they...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Feeling lost: 379 of 652

Out of Focus There comes a point, once in our life When everything we thought we knew gets torn.
