Note: The second poem is pretty dark. It was written for an english class, based on a book we were required to read about a woman suffering from depression who eventually commited suicide. You've been forewarned.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- :Lost:
If only the silence could be broken
If only we had words
I would tell you, "It'll be alright"
And you'd agree
Even though it's not

:The Yellow Lady:
It's gonna be a long, long night
Emotions overcome me
I cry out in fright
The yellow lady
Watches me
Stuck in our prison
She fades away
I cry again
Here in my prison
Faces surround me
Asking, pleading with me
Saying "Don't leave"
But it's too late
The yellow lady
Watches me
Here in our prison
She fades away
I cry again
Here in my prison
I've tried to fight it
But it's too late
Now it's my last chance
The rope is in my hands
Maniacally..
The door opens
Jump.
The yellow lady
Watches me
Stuck in our prison
She fades away
I cry again
Here, in my prison

:Rhyming Poetry-Not My Thing:
To write a rhyme
Thinking up words that mix
Takes lots of time
Will put you in a fix
To some, not rhyming is a crime
While onlookers get their kicks
Though to me, a crime so fine
While you get the tiks
Sublime
You're still in a fix
So sublime
Ready to hear the paper rip
Now as I run out of time
Here's one quick tip:
One last thing, and idea of mine:
Quit.
There is a bit of a "trick" that makes the third poem make sense. xD---------------------------------------------------------
:Before:
What happened to yesteryears?
When we were young
Before we knew what death was
Before we knew separation
Before all of this
What happened to yesterday?
When it was easy to smile
When we would laugh out loud
When simplicity was in place
Before everything had to change
WHat happened..to our past?
DO you even remember
Did you ever even know
Or did you forget?
I remember you
I have never forgotten
I never will
Will you remember me
or have you already forgotten
All that we shared?
-----------------------------------------------------------
:Childhood and it's Things:
Has the laughter died
Have the smiles faded
Have the children grown
Are the photos dated?
Where are you
You've left me
You've left us all
But where are we?
It seems adulthood has come
Our childhood is over
Though the memories remain
Forever and ever
And ever
------------------------------------------------------------
:Home, Sweet One:
Listen to the sounds
The voices
Can you hear them?
They're calling for you
Whispering your name
So loud
Watch the shadows
Can you see them?
They're reaching for you
Smiling at you
Arms outstretched
Go on..don't pull back
Do you feel it?
DOn't shiver
It's only their soft touch
A gentle kiss
An embrace
Encircling you in their arms
Are you ready for it?
DOn't fear
The light is ahead
Step forward
Let them guide you
Go on..you're going home
It's alright
I will miss you
It'll hurt for a while
But the pain will ease
And we will meet again
Someday
Do you see me yet?
I'm home
