It comes
Like the cold wind through the caves,
Death
The Soldiers
Like soldiers in black satin, they come,
What Have I Done?
Whenever I call, you don't answer.
What have I done?
All I've given you has been returned to me.
What have I done?
The time spent together is no longer.
What have I done?
I'm now sitting here crying.
What have I done?
What have I done?
Oh, God...
What have I done?
It's in my mind,
Caught in my chest,
Trapped
Author's Note: This poem is not a work of fiction.
Lying in bed,
His arms outstretched,
No defence against it,
Why?
Guns shooting,
Time spent together,
The next day you slap me,
The Nightmare
As you walk along the darkened streets,
That you're beeing watched.
You hear footsteps behind you,
No one's there.
You shiver as you turn back and continue on,
You're scared.
You start to run, but the footsteps start to run too.
Your efforts are in vain.
You take a wrong turn and find yourself in an alley.
The footsteps slow down as they come up to meet you
And it feels as if you'd just plunged into a nightmare.
Too scared to even scream,
As he pulls a ten-inch knife from his coat pocket
You cover your face.
You wake up in bed.
Sobbing and panting,
Confused
Author's Note: This is not a work of fiction.
This way or that?
Was my freedom.
But now that I'm an adult,
But yet...
To expierience something
I wish I was
Let Me Out
Author's Note: This is not a work of fiction.
Within a cage
I want
Let me out.
Please...

It comes.
Like the black moon in a jaded sky,
It comes.
Like the raven in a grove of trees,
It comes.
Like black tulips in dark earth,
It comes.
As fast as the jaguar,
It comes.
As surprising as thunder,
It comes.
As strong as the waves,
It comes.
As sudden as a heartbeat,
It comes.
As silent as the air,
It comes.
A million bright diamonds on their backs.
Armed with the roar and crash of thunder,
They come to a calm and serene place;
It surrenders itself.
The place lying in wait for their attack,
As still as the dark new moon.
The soldiers come ever closer,
Poised to bring to this place its fate.
The roar of thunder grows louder,
The ground trembling beneath its power.
With a battle cry they come and submerge it.
Beneath the stars, the waves crash upon the sand.
Why?
Whenever I try to talk, you walk away.
Why?
Whenever I try to reach out to you, you leave me hanging.
Why?
Why?
All my letters to you mailed back to me.
Why?
All our memoirs you've ripped up and thrown away.
Why?
Why?
The happy years are gone with the wind.
Why?
My heart's now been torn from my body.
Why?
Why?
'Cuz you went and left me in the place you called "ours".
Why?
I'm so messed up, so hurt, so confused why you'd leave me.
Why?
I can't escape it.
Can't close my eyes to it,
Nor walk away.
Always stirring,
Always brewing,
The thing that pursues me,
The darkness within me,
The fear in my heart.
My breath, I can't breathe.
Running away,
Feet hitting the pavement.
I hear them coming,
The shouts, the cries.
Running for saftey,
I trip and fall.
Like a flock of vultures,
They come down upon me.
I shut my eyes,
Waiting for the impact,
For them to seal my fate.
My soul cannot sleep.
Each moment spent trying,
Feels like a desperate struggle...
For my life.
Tossing and turning,
Mind ever stirring.
I cannot think,
Nor feel,
Nor dream.
I'm caught in this circle of darkness,
Unable to outrun it.
Like a never-ending rainstorm,
It rips and pounds at my heart.
Eating it away,
Untill...
There
Is
Nothing
Left.
I am trapped within this circle of darknes,
And it feels like forevermore.
No escape,
For my soul.
No way out...
I'm just trapped.
You feel him looming.
His jagged fingers curled,
Reaching toward you.
You try to run,
To try to escape this nightmare.
Although not moving,
You feel him surround you...
From all sides.
Your heart beats faster,
As you try desperately...
To escape.
Him impact on you is too great.
He brings you down to your knees.
As you crouch there,
Shaking, whimpering,
And sobbing in fear,
He looms closer still.
Although still without moving,
He encases you in darkness.
The many-armed tree,
With gnarled branches.
It follows our every step,
Whether we want it to...
Or not.
Like a ghost,
It moves silently;
And more often than not,
Scares us half to death.
It usually gets the better of us,
Stopping us dead in our tracks.
We are powerless against it.
We cannot stop it,
No matter how hard we try.
It will always haunt us.
This thing
We call
Time.
Gas polluting,
Bombers flying by.
The colour black fills up the skies,
And people shake their heads,
All the while asking "why?"
Death and dying is all around,
The thud of bodies as they hit the ground.
People screaming, crying and in tears,
Waiting with bated breath and living in fear.
The question of why grows stronger,
People's persistance even more.
People want answers now, more than ever before.
Why are we living in turmoil and despair?
Why are we living through this hell, don't they even care?
When will this stop, will there ever be an end?
They ask as they comfort family and friends.
If people don't band together to try and stop this hate,
Then, surely it's determined, the outcome of our fate.
Chisdren will grow up, wanting to pay the world back,
For the relatives they've lost, the relatives they lack.
Resulting in more war, more death, more dying.
This is our future, if we don't go out trying.
What can we do, you ask. Resolutions can be found how?
That is not for me to say.
Answers reside in you now.
Together in the park.
Gentle words of love exchanged,
The magic continues to grow.
The trips we took together,
Promenades at the beach
To watch the sunset.
Countless mements of love,
However...
You slap me hard in the face.
You're seeing someone else,
You've been seeing them all this time.
All our "Magic Moments"
Were complete and utter deception.
You've given me nothing,
Except betrayal, scorn,
And tears.
All your love was lies
As you played and messed
With my heart.
The hairs on your neck start to tingle.
You get this horrible feeling...
But when you turn around to look-
And the familiar sound of footsteps falls back into place.
Breath caught painfully in your chest, you double your speed.
The footsteps follow you in perfect rhythm.
You try a zigzag course to hopefully throw him off your trail...
You scream as you back up against the corner of the wall.
And you finally see who they belong to.
You look up...
You cower in the corner with no where to run, waiting for what he plans next.
And moves closer and closer to your heart,
You scream in terror and tense in fear
As you wait for the life-taking blow.
Just as he strikes...
You count your blessings
That it was all just a horrible dream.
I don't know
What to think,
Or feel,
Or do.
When in my teens,
Prospective boyfriends
Didn't faze me.
Didn't want commitments,
Or responsibility.
All I wanted...
Desire's taking over,
Making me more and more hopeful.
Now I'm torn,
Between two worlds,
Wanting some of each.
I don't want the commitment,
I've only just fantasized,
Leaves me wanting
Just a little.
Just one or the other,
Not torn between the two.
This is why I'm so confused,
Not really knowing what to do.
I am confined.
Rules,
Regulations,
And boundaries
Keep me in chains.
Caught in my
Parents' house,
I.
Am.
Slowly.
Going.
Insane.
The freedom.
Let me out,
I want to fly.
I want the space,
I want my sanity.
Let
Me
Out.
