Here We Are
Rebecca Hartel Feb 2011
Here we are
We're crashing on the rocks
But you never let me go
We'll be together forever

Hold me tight and don't let go
Tell me if you love me so
If what you say is true
My ♥ will always belong to you

Here we are
We're falling fast
Our love will always conquer
No one can stop our feelings for each other

Here we are
We're not far
We will always have each other
We will never let go

Hold me tight and don't let go
Tell me if you love me so
If what you say is true
My ♥ will always belong to you

Here we are
Love is what we long for
To us it is infinate
We will always be together

Hold me tight and don't let go
Tell me if you love me so
If what you say is true
My ♥ will always belong to you

Hold me tight and don't let go
Tell me if you love me so
If what you say is true
My ♥ will always belong to you
This is my pathetic attempt at lyrics lol

♥♥♥
Rebecca Hartel Feb 2011
I feel so confined
I'm gonna lose my mind
I can't get away
Forever here I'll stay

My life feels so wrong
For someones love I long
One person just for me
I'm looking but I don't see

I feel so alone
My life is a continuous drone
I put my heart out three times
Now look, I'm making rhymes
lol  this I wrote as kind of a joke, I was trying to think of something to write and it just came out, I thought it was pretty funny, it's kind of me making fun of myself for writing poems about lost love.  :D

Pretty Sweet Deceit
Rebecca Hartel Feb 2011
Why cant you see it?
She is lying to you!
The fire is lit
Burning you too

She doesn't care
About how you feel
Why do you share
Hold of the wheel?

She's just trying to cause you pain
I can see it in her eyes
The things she will gain
From spreading her lies

How you are treated
Is not fair at all
You should feel defeated
She's about to make you fall

You need to get away
As fast as you can
'Cause there will come a day
When you will be ban,

To eternal damnation
For being so blind
So grows on the plantation
You're losing your mind
I wrote this about my uncle, he was engaged to a woman I knew was using him, she was wrong for him, and he ended up learning the hard way

Abuse
Rebecca Hartel Feb 2011
She sits in her room
Scared and alone
He's out there looking for her
She wont pick up the phone

She has bruises on her body
From when he beat her
She pulls her cover over her head
Rocks back and forth wishing she were dead

Her friends and family warned her
But she didn't listen
So she sits crying
Trying not to miss him

She's still in love with him
But doesn't know what to do
She closes her eyes
And thinks of something new
I wrote this poem because at the time my best friend Melissa was in an abusive relationship, the man would pound on her bedroom windows at night to scare her, he would hide in her trees in the dark, he would threaten her friends and family, he'd beat her when she was trying to drive, he'd threaten to **** himself if she left him, he was her worst fear, I HATE that he did that to her. Any man who is a coward enough to do such things to a woman needs help.

You Said
Rebecca Hartel Feb 2011
You said it'd be hard
This I knew was true
Because nothing was easy
When trying to be with you

You said it'd be hard
This I didn't need
Because no one else here
Could fulfill my greed

You said it'd be hard
This I knew would change it all
Because you loved me without a doubt
And wouldn't dare let me fall

I Am Not There
Rebecca Hartel Feb 2011
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep

I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glints on snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gentle Autumn rain

When you awake in the mornings hush
I am the quiet uplifting rush
Birds in circled flight
I am the soft stars that shine at night

Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there, I did not die
I want to make it clear that I did NOT write this poem, a few years ago I read it somewhere and copied it down because it meant so much to me, I'm not attempting to take credit for it, whomever wrote it is amazing, I just want to spread the message, It really helped me through a hard time and I hope it helps other people going through the same situation.

Dark optimistic trees
Shading the rolling and flowing hills of evergreens
Winds bring the sweet smell of peace that evenings need
(cowriter) my amazing sister Christina and I wrote this together

Regret
Rebecca Hartel Feb 2011
Rock solid on the ground she lay
Can't think of anything to say
There above her he stands
Wiping off his ****** hands

Drags her body to his car
Doesn't travel very far
Stops the car and throws her out
New guilt to think about

Lays in bed but he can't sleep
His mind a hill very steep
Why'd he do it?
In his mind his thoughts sit

He couldn't sleep at all last night
His guilty conscious he had to fight.

Lost And Alone
Rebecca Hartel Feb 2011
Darkness surrounds us
Swallows us whole
Taking our lives, and tearing our souls

Trying to escape
But the barriors wont break
Scared to death we go hand in hand
Off to some kind of sadness filled land

So clouded we can't breathe
So crowded we can't leave
Seperated we become
Everything becomes one

Light appears overhead
I wonder if I'm dead
I look around
But you're nowhere to be found

I close my eyes
And tears stream down.

Death
Rebecca Hartel Feb 2011
Tears flow
Emotions grow
People get the wrong impression
You're not suffering from depression

Pop more pills
The pain hurts so bad it kills
You try to stop
With that you let your body drop

Lying down
People all around
Your body lowered into a hole
To the sky flies your soul

Covered in dirt
You feel no hurt
The pain is gone
The suffering is done.
I honestly don't know how I was feeling when I wrote this, I just grabbed a pen and went with it.

Hurt
Rebecca Hartel Feb 2011
Bruises on my left and right arm
Why must you cause me such harm
You push me, I fall
You seem to have it all

I'm hurt, I'm in pain
To you it's just a game
Tears are forming in my eyes
Listening to all your lies

Why must you be so mean
All the cuts have been seen
You take the knife, you cut, you slice
All my life you've diced

Bleeding wrists
****** arms
You thought you had me with your charms

I told you to stop
Thought I liked you alot
But abusing me is what you sought

You were wrong
You don't have long
'Cause when I get up
You're ******

So here I stand
Ready to fight
Here I stand
Black as night

I'm gonna win
I'm not a sin
You've already gone down in my mind
I've even stopped thinking of you all the time

I kick, I scream
I cause a scene
It's done, it's over
It was all a dream.
I don't really care for this poem but it has great meaning to me. I'm not ashamed to admit that there was a time when I suffered from major depression, I did cut myself. I wrote this when I realized that I could do better, I was better and that no one and nothing could ever have such an effect on me again.

No More
Rebecca Hartel Feb 2011
Everyday felt the same
Always playing that stupid game
You broke my heart
You tore it in two
Now all I have to say is, I hate you

You said you loved me
It wasn't true
Now all I have to say is, I hate you

You had me wrapped around your finger
But it seems I only lingered
You had me in the palm of your hand
Made it feel like a fantasy land

You lied to me
Why can't you see
You always had control over me

But now it's different
I'm fighting back
Intelligence is what you lack

You cheated, you lied
Every night I cried
But now I realize what it was

You seemed smart and even sweet
But I didn't figure you would cheat

You don't care that you hurt me
I finally see
But the worst is yet to come

I told you I hurt and I was in pain
That was the point of your stupid game
I'm here to say that I have won
It seems fair after what you've done

I'm over it now
I'm moving on
The future is coming
The past is gone.
When this was written I had just gone through one of the toughest times in my life, for the longest time I thought I was the one with the problem, after a while I started thinking and realized, I'm not the problem, YOU are.

Over You
Rebecca Hartel Feb 2011
You were my hero,
You were my dream,
You were my highs and lows,
And everything in between

You were my everything,
You were my all,
You would beckon,
And I would call

You are my past,
You are gone,
You are nothing,
I am done

I feel happiness,
I feel new,
I feel whole,
I'm over you.

— The End —
