I'll spend my birthday alone.
How depressing and common now.

For two years hands were held and lips were pressed together.
For two years we held hands and held eachothers hearts.
For two years I was there for you every hour of the day and night.
For two years we were best friends, boyfriends, inseparable.
For two years all I gave you was love.
For two years all you did was play me and sleep with others behind my back.
For two years I wasted my time loving someone who was incapable of loving me.

If I scream
will you listen?

You are the light that yonder window breaks.
Like Yorick I knew you well.
You are the Demetrius to my Helena.
The Romeo to my Rosaline.
My unrequited love.

The key to my heart hangs around my neck,
one day I'll give it to someone worthy.
My heart openly exposed on my sleeve,
free for anyone to take.
Who will unlock its secrets?

I melt when our eyes meet.
When you smile angels sing.
When you laugh the world falls silent around you.
I'm transfixed on you.
Do you even know my name?

I scream
I cry
I plead
I lose
I pray
I beg
I try
I choose
I write
I sing
I dance
I play
But nothing leads love my way.

Embrace the dark.
Let the shadows consume you.
Slip slowly into the eternal sleep.

Embrace that which you cannot change.
Let him into your life when no others are there.
Greet the devil with kindness.

Embrace him when God abandons you.
Hold him like you'd hold a loved one.
He is all you need now.

Embrace the eternal sleep of death.
Embrace its peace and calm.
Embrace your tortured soul.

My body, soul and mind divided.
Split by an unknown, pestering force.
The constant war waging between the sides for superiority.
The pain and hopelessness battling comfort and joy.
I cannot see a resolution to this endless war.
The only way out is to destroy them all.

7 Billion people in the world
and yet I still feel alone.

talk and talk for days on end barely stopping to eat or sleep until suddenly a stop
was it my fault
what did i say
did i say too much
did i not say enough
is it because im ugly
is it because im going in too fast
is it me
?

Scarred heart and scarred feet.
Walking through the burning coals of love and failing to exit them caused both.
Have the lessons been learnt?
Time will tell.

As I lay living, living in an unending nightmare
Even sleep does not allow me to escape.
No way out. No light at the end of the tunnel. No hope.
"No" racing around my mind and then I see his face. In the darkness I hear the faintest yes.
Hope? Or pandora's box.

As I stand weeping silently on the streets.
As I lay weeping in my bed, no sound leaves my mouth.
As I sit weeping no tears leave my eyes.
As I silently scream I wear my public mask.
As I weep none will see my pain.

As I enter the gates of hell that lead to my mind I see visions of angels and demons.
They both beckon me, begging me to join them.
I choose one, my mind chooses another.
I choose one route but am directed the other way.
The neverending war in my head.

I scream but I make no sound.
Why did you do it? What made you think it was okay?
What made you think that because we were dating you could do whatever you wanted to me?
Why did you not speak to me?
Why did you pretend it never happened? Do you realise what you did to me?
Do you even realise what you did?
Why did you treat me like an object?
Why?
I scream. I wonder if I'll ever be heard.

The sound of rain outside my window
Petrichor filling my nostrils.
The old memories of you return
Hate fills my heart, I want to forget you.

Like the sun, your radiance brings me life.
The moon too shy to look upon you.
The sparkle in your eyes envy the stars.
Your smile calms the most ferocious of storms but fans the fires of my heart.

This fire inside me burns brightest for you,
the passion kept hidden from human eyes.
Its power greater than any ever seen,
you decide if it's to be set free.

I may not know how others feel.
I may not know why others kneel.
I may not know whom others admire,
But I know how I feel, why I don't kneel and who I admire.

I* walk through the dark night and see those in despair.
I see those unfortunate souls with nowhere to go.
I feel powerless to help the powerless.
I try and try to help but I can't.
Nothing I do has any affect.
But then what did I expect?
I'm only one step up from them.
The smallest push before I'm sat there beside them.
Crying inside.

I've fallen for you.
This strange new feeling inside.
Unrequited love.

When I'm lonely,
you're not there.

When I fall to the floor in tears,
you're not there.

When I need someone to talk to,
you're not there.

When I'm stressed and can't relax,
you're not there.

                                                         ­                                       When you're lonely,
                                                         ­                                         I'm always here.

                                                          ­                  When you fall to the floor in tears,
                                                                ­                        I'm always here.

                                                          ­                When you need someone to talk to,
                                                             ­                           I'm always here.

                                                          ­             When you're stressed and can't relax,
                                                          ­                              I'm always here.
                          

                       I will always be here for you, even if you aren't for me.

I would pluck the stars from the heavens to please you, pull the moon closer to the earth just to see you smile.

I would cross the wildest of rivers and climb the tallest of mountains if that is what you asked.

My heart is your possession, my soul yours to twist and bend and shape.

I am yours, completely.

"Do you do engagement ring refunds?"

I know this isnt a poem but I feel its my duty as a moral person to report that there is fraudster messaging this websites members and asking them to email "Her" at which point she will send you false information about wanting to transfer money from senegal.
I urge you, if you get a message from a member called nicystephani ignore them, they're only trying to defraud you. Their email is stepahnicuma@hotmail.com.

Please spread this message so that they can no longer try and trick people.

Remember, don't fall victim to foreign scams

As I slip deeper into this eternal sadness I must wonder if anyone is actually there for me.
Nobody knows how I truly feel, nobody sees this side of me.
I feel my time getting closer, no light at the end of the tunnel, no escape from my thoughts.
Always here for everyone but nobody there for me when I need it most.
I cant do this any more.

Scarred arms and scarred heart.
Pain, both spotted and hidden.
Permanently there.

With apprehension I wait for you to text back
I feel sick to my stomach.
Thoughts racing through my head.
Will it be good?
Will it be bad?
Will I ever be able to talk to you again?
I regret sending that text.
Your typing seems to last a lifetime.
Then: a reply....

Irrational thoughts racing.
Illogically trying to explain something unexplainable.
I can use maths and science all I want but it will never explain why I love you.

It's election day.
Time to change our countries ways.
Let's hope we choose well.

It's 3am and I'm thinking of you.
I cant sleep because im scared of the rejection.
I like you but I doubt you like me.
I'm scared of these feelings...

How to write haikus:
Five, seven, five. Easy right?
Greet inspiration.

Screeching of harpies,
cacophonous sounds from hell.
The song of deceit.

Heart torn between two,
I have both and neither now.
My soul can't decide.

As the title suggests, this isn't a poem.
I just wanted to make a quick post addressed to you all to say thank you.
Thank you for your beautiful words and beautiful poems.

So darling, darling,
Stand by me, oh stand by me
Won't you stand by me?

I have but one shot,
I must make it count. Aim straight.
On this I depend.

Days without talking,
I miss you with all my heart.
My soul cries for you.

Talk to me of love,
I beg you to!
Tell me how you love me and always have.
Tell me of your passion and of your desire, tell me of the flame inside your heart.

Misunderstood man,
victim of society.
Will his voice be heard?

Greet today smiling,
welcome sunlight in your life.
Forget past mistakes.

As the sky darkens I reflect on the day.
Wasted? Or time well used?
I wonder what tomorrow will bring...
