Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Shields: 1 of 8

Too.. I shield myself against you You are too bright With brilliant vivid colors Too loud With words of love Too perfect For my flawed mind to comprehend Too dangerous For my worn heart to handle Too trusting For my lies to take effect Too strong For me to push against Too self sufficient For you too need me Too taken With t...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Separation: 27 of 198

You're a forest of deception A jumble of lies A miasma of broken truths You strap me down Remove me from reality Into your nightmare Searching for light I'm drowning in deceit I struggle to breathe You're infectious Rapidly invading my soul Withdrawing my hope Feeling of insecurity Permeating ignorance Delightful deception I...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Desperation: 7 of 50

Desperate hands on a face of silk Tormented soul drenched with guilt Begging for pardon when she'll pass Living in secret behind walls of glass Time ticks by her slowly passing Taking pieces without asking Of her heart for more to break Of her strength and less it takes To think about the pills she keeps Next to the bottle w...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Friendship: 42 of 273

This blame This shame This waiting game A better day A better way A better type of play A little time A few more rhymes Then I will find The strength that I Built all these walls Adjoining halls Where time stalls Where anger calls The tears may fall Despite it all I still try I don't know why Given all that I've Held to surv...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Struggle in life: 106 of 383

Unable To Cope.. Tranquil waters run deep in his soul His eyes fill with sorrow and he winces Against the pain that "isn't there" The hurt he "doesn't feel" Tears that don't fall But are instead Caught by impatient hands Not unable to feel But unable to cope Tormented by unseen demons Jeered by unheard voices Darkness invadi...

Desire is a funny thing It comes without warning And saturates your body Spreading like liquid fire A slow burn in your soul That cannot be extinguished Even after you have consumed The thing that you desire For when you get what you want You are left wanting more An the vicious cycle Takes hold Desire into lust A wicked fir...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: I do not cry: 111 of 179

Why should I bother Telling you what's wrong When in your eyes I'm just an exaggerating Attention seeking Excuse making Relapse sliding Waster of a person Despite my efforts I just can't hide The pain that's all In my head That's only a figment Of my imagination That's a manifestation Of my irritation That's my way of not do...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: A kiss: 141 of 180

With A Kiss May God himself have mercy on this wicked soul of mine I think I finally fell too hard, I told too many lies And the winds were changing, blowing phrases back into my mouth No matter how deeply I cut I could never clear you out My bones ache from the whole ordeal; my body writhes in pain Knowing that I once knew ...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Love: 574 of 718

I awake To the sound of snow falling Winter settling in For a brief stay The room is dark an empty An I am truly alone You are out there Nearing your waking hour While I lie dreamless In the dead of night How often Do you think of me? Every waking moment And those in between Like I of you? My morning coffee Taken with antici...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Pain from love: 689 of 838

Smile and Nod With a smile a nod and a yes she did turn Running away with the lessons she'd learned To a place beyond denial, beyond all hope Wishing like hell she could find a way to cope The pain she could not bear, the hurt was too great Time for living to die and survive was too late So she turned with a smile, a nod and...
