I fell in love with you

You made my heart flutter

Until it all came crashing down

I found your corpse slumped over in the driver seat

The garage door closed and a pipe from the back of the car to the driver side window

My love ...

Why did you leave me so

It tore me apart inside knowing that you were gone forever

I needed you, but you left in my time of need

That next month, they found my body in the same position I had found you

"Two lovers meet their ends in the same way", as was stated in the newspaper

I can't wait to meet you in the Woods of the Seventh Circle of Hell

We will be happy together for many an eternity

And I will still be loving you through everything

I Love You!

the late nights lost in empty bottles

once overflowed with your soft voice

the haunting songs played on repeat

echoed off the white walls drowning

the sharp blades and blood on skin

lost in pain reflected from your eyes

the faded moonlight beyond windows

across the horizon the world fell silent

the lines of words you'd never read

all along i've always wished i was yours

There was a little girl

in the hospital

who saw ghosts

whose father

watched her

under fluorescent lights

Daddy, she said

babbling incoherently,

convinced -

complete belief

in the voices

that we cannot hear

that we cannot see

Darling, he said

there’s nothing there

please, stop

he is waiting for a nurse

we are waiting

out the nightmare

waiting for the medicine

that will create

total erasure

putting

the voices

away

What if...

it’s memories

that fool around,

making you up

as you go

out into the crowd

...the face of a clown

mirrored in the

back of the mind...

Is it some migraine

or your heart

that pounds

like a fist...!

Asking if you haven’t

yet got the gist?

Vague allusions of

being some sort

of stupid ----

But that’s not it!

You were

the skipper

prowling after

happiness...

and blew it off

with a puffered kiss!

Do you remember this?

the curly hair

and pony tail

the sense of envy

in the market square...

Guilt has you licked

with its tides

snuffing out

the stars

in the iris

of your abyss...

You will always

ponder the sting

of your

misplaced wish...

and delve

haplessly

after it...

Drowning in emotions challenge @LiannaC

I spend quiet moments screaming from my heart to my head about how I would run to your light from miles away, shining from years ago.

About how I know it's been a long time since your light searched for my eyes and skin, curiously and fondly, as you painted my shadow onto the ground where we met.

And how the world just keeps spinning.

I am loud and lost sometimes, from my heart to my head, in a quiet room, because I do not know how to make you need me.

A drop of blood

Fell on the mud

As she shed a lone tear

Her body dropped as she was,

Lead out of the door

And soon like the others

She was no more

Her family was torn apart

War and bloodshed ripped,

Apart every kind heart

The people were beaten,

Cut and whipped

Until from every man at least,

A drop of blood dripped.

Every day pain and torture,

Suffered she

Until her heart was filled with misery.

Every day she prayed to thee

That one day her country,

Would be free

Then finally come the fateful day

When the forces clashed,

In the month of may.

A warrior entered on a white horse

Standing tall admit the lying corpse

The way he fought,

The way he walked,

Gained admiration among people’s thoughts.

Praised was he for his kind eyes and smiles

His bravery was known for miles and miles

He was known as a legend

To make history

However to everyone

His face was a mystery

Finally towards the end of the May

The battle was to end that day

A hundred soldiers charged at him

But he fought he way

Through thick and thin

All of a sudden the battle stopped

All of a sudden his armour dropped

Everyone let out a gasp

For it was a WOMAN

Under man’s mask

Her lovely long blonde hair

With her eyes made a perfect pair

Before she hit the ground

She said

“Fight for freedom until you all are dead”

Her eyes held sorrow, grief and pain

As she remembered the enemy’s chain

The chain of pain and suffering, they had caused

Until every good man’s life was lost

A drop of blood

Fell on the mud

As she shed a led a lone tear

Her body dropped as she was led out of the door

As soon as the others

She was no more.

By Tamanna

i've dreamt about the stars

for three days in a row

i'm still trying to figure out

where i can find

the big dipper

and what that means for my life

i still replay the moment you

explained it to me

over and over in my head

and how i nodded and observed

at all of the wrong things

see i was too busy

daydreaming about you

to observe the stars in the nighttime

i thought having you

meant all of the stars in the sky

were already mine

but i should’ve known

stars are actually big balls of gas

and so they all eventually burn out

and so did we.

The stars -{renata ferretti}

Each day rises,

streaming against two lips,

yesterday and tomorrow,

spoken vows,

confessing promises,

keeping my love for you;

forever in memory,

eternally sacred,

alive atop my chest.

Wasn't my love for you at once overwhelming?

I kissed you with all that I am,

only to have you die in my arms,

but,

wasn't this overabundance a prequel to rapture?

We have carried this mission thus far.

Awakening with the weight of your dreams,

not just dreams of you,

dreams that are yours.

I have found that this heaviness is mostly gratitude,

gratitude that circulates through me.

Keeping my feet grounded,

as i travel your body,

the both of us

aware of our entanglement,

twisting or drifting,

drowning within this love oceanic,

each in debt to save the other.

You take my breath away.

But not in that way.

I am but suffocated by the thought  of you.

I lie kicking and screaming  and yet no one runs to me.

You take my breath away,

Not in that  way, you see.

I scream in my mind, I  ache at the thought of falling before you.

You have but  tormented me,

Held me captive.

Now I find it tough to breath,

For you have taken my breath away from me.

Making my life  but a burden

-Since to breath is to live, I fear this emballed state.

And I  have not the power to escape  the grip of your power over me.

Life and breath removed; for,

You’ve  taken my breath away from me

No, not in that way, you see.

You’ve taken away every vestige of me

And the power of me is gone indefinitely.

The might that I had is hidden in fear.

And the me deep within is calling for code blue 

Because I  knew instantly that you’d take my breath away

Tho I never thought it would be  in this way.
