Something about you
Felt different then.
I realize and know now
It was only in a dream.

I passed by you
The other day.
I didn’t know
That we were in a dream.

You came to me
And I knew you
Somehow, I’d seen you, but
It was only in a dream.

You were the best part,
At least while it lasted.
But I must move on, for
You were only in a dream.

I don’t want to.
But I’ll give it a chance,
In case it surprises me.

Ei voi muuttuu että
Aika menee nopeasti.
Mutta menikö päivän
Sekunnissa tähän asti?

Leave me alone
I want to be quiet
Yeah, I know you want to talk.

You do things your way
I’ll do things mine.
But just, please promise you’ll stop.

You gave me a watch
You said “check the time,
When we meet again
It’ll be different on mine.”

But I threw it down
And you hugged me tight
Yet I still didn’t want
To say goodbye.

The dust has settled
I know you’re gone
But still I stay strong
But still I go on.

Our
Friendship is
One hundred percent
Toxic but it’s more
Fun that way
Because we
Always
Come
Back

I guess I’ll see you again
In two or more years.
Unless you come for Christmas,
I’ll shed many tears.

Dearest cousin, please understand
You were my best friend
While I was missing my other ones.
Why should it end?

The first two lines of a poem comes to mind
When I think about you;
“Miss you, miss you, miss you,
Everything I do.”

So raise a glass to this summer
And all these memories.
And I hope we’ll meet at Christmas
Oh please, please, please.

I want to help, I really do
But I don’t like the thought of dying.
Anxiety keeps me on the ground
Instead of up there flying.

So raise a glass to all those people
Who could do what I could never.
By their constant and certain efforts
They make the world much better.

Everyone says I should just try
But I know that I would fail.
And even if I did agree
For my health I’d have to bail.

So raise a glass to all those people
Who could do what I could never.
Like the astronauts in space who quite
Possibly could stay there forever.

Raise a glass to all those people
Who could do what I could never.
Like the people who study volcanoes
Who could rest there forever.

Little drops of water,
   Little grains of sand,
Make the mighty ocean
   And the pleasant land.

Thus the little minutes,
   Humble though they be,
Make the mighty ages
   Of eternity.

It’s in my mind now
Can’t erase it
Can’t do anything but move on.

But I don’t want to
Can’t stop thinking
Heart is pounding and eyes streaming.

What if it goes wrong?
Can’t stop worrying
Can’t stop anxiously waiting.

If I were to say something
You’d tell me to stop.
If I were to tell the truth
You’d say “can you not?”

But somehow you’re jealous
Because I tell her things.
I guess you don’t understand
What friendship means.

Se pitää minusta kiinni aina.
Yöllä en saa untaa.
Päivällä en nauraa.
Harmi että huomaan sitä vieläkin.

We never said goodbye.
We never had the chance.
We thought we’d see eachother soon
But now we can’t.

She said she’d be here now
But sometimes things go wrong.
I wish we could meet again
Before I’m up and gone.

When death rings true
You will try to hide.
When death rings true
You’ll put your memories behind.

When memories fade
You’ll start to deny.
When memories fade
That’s your last goodbye.

When love is lost
It will be hard.
When love is lost
Your feelings you’ll guard.

When death rings true
Memories fade.
And love is lost
When death rings true.

Was there ever a story
As sad or unjust
As that of the Lady Jane Grey?

Abused by her mother
And forced to wed
At 16 already literally
Lost her head.

In those hard times
I did love thee not.
But now I doth
At which hour I see thee rot.

Oh, Guildford, I realize
The thought yond we were meant to beest
Didst not crosseth mine own mind.

Nine days queen
Didst weaken our bond
I had not the timeth
To knoweth we hath grown fond

It’s time for the countdown,
We’re close enough now.
Waiting for this moment when
I take my final bow.

I exit stage left
After a long speech.
Now it’ll be over
In one, two, three...

The saddest goodbyes are the ones no one knows to say.
The saddest goodbyes are the ones whispered over a headstone in the ground.
The saddest goodbyes are unexpected.
They are silent.
They are inevitable.
They are unpredictable.

We will miss you
And that’s okay.
We said we’d win
Whatever it takes.

For the good of the world
You had to jump.
We all know that,
Yet it still cuts.

Are you happy there?
Do you know we won?
And what about him?
Do you know what he’s done?

You both together
Are the reason we won.
You jumped, he snapped.
It worked, but you’re gone.

They used to shine so bright.
Her smile used to greet us more.
Her words used to be so kind.

What has this cruel world done to you?

“There’s always hope”,
she said, as
she turned away
to battle.

“There’s always hope”,
I whisper, now.
Though it doesn’t
Seem like that at all.

“You have no chance”,
They said,
Towering high
Above me.

I know.

But that won’t stop me.

Here of all places,
We had a hope of victory.
But it’s over and we know it
So don’t cry for me.

It’s not your fault.
It’s mine.
It’s sad that until today
Everything was fine.

Was it worth it?
Are you glad that you went through all that,
Just to prove that you can?

When you look into my eyes
What do you see?
A broken girl with nothing left,
Or perhaps even something happy?

When I look at other people,
I see broken dreams and ripped up hopes,
Trapped minds
Bound by ropes.

I want to see
Dreams made and hopes fixed
Free minds
And endless bliss.

But only you can help me.
Will you help me reach my goal?

You said I’d see you soon
But that wasn’t true.
But I believed it
Before I lost you.

Now that we’ve won
I think I know
We would have lost
If you hadn’t let go.

And that’s okay,
Because now I’ve grown.
It was for the best.
I miss you, though.

We will remember you
But we won’t cry.
You wouldn’t want that
So we hold our heads high.

I’ve never been the type
To hang my personal life on a kite
For everyone to see
It’s just not like me.

But if you were to ask
I’d answer you fast
Because though no one knows it
I am a poet.

You can rest now,
don’t worry.
We’ll be okay.

Because of you
we survived;
we get to see another day.

You did so well,
there’s no doubt,
but I wish you were still here.

A hero’s death
is always sad,
but yours brought a million tears.

Don’t cry for me
I’m not gone.
My soul is at rest,
My heart lives on.
Light a candle
For me to see
And hold on to
My memory.
But save your tears
For I’m still here
By your side
Through the years.
  
            -Christy Ann Martine

“She’s fearless”
They might say.
But I shake
My head because



One cannot be brave who has no fear.

You once said that
You loved me and
I believed you
Can’t you see?

I said it back
And meant it too
But that was before
I was betrayed by you.

All that he says is
I love you three thousand
And I am in tears.

I’ve been tied to a stereotype
With a rope I can’t break.
They think I’m the girl
That will never take a break.

But that’s not me
I don’t fit that list
But they tell me I do
Do I like it? They wish.

Society has many rules
And poems have them, too.
“It has to rhyme”, they say.
“It must have a rhythm, too.”

But I intend to end those rules
       I intend to break free
So maybe my poems aren’t the best,
But at least I’m being me.

A few minutes after
You chose to leave,
I forgot to breath.
I forget to breath.
I forget to.
I forget.
I.

A HERO
It’s over and we know it
The good guys lost
We barely stood a chance
But we had our fingers crossed.

A VILLAIN
It’s over and they know it
The “bad guys” finally won
We had a dream of victory
And now it’s finally done.

Writing a haiku
Is very hard to do. I
Don’t know how this works?

No tears left to cry
Yet you still want to say goodbye
To all the happy memories
To all the things that brought us peace.
