War
Octagon
OF
seven sides
Unseen
gate
OF
one
where men enter in the name
OF
and
thus
beyond
The point OF no return
and
kin
Wait in vain
because
OF
there
None could see the future
and
None will ever know
that
all
named
OF
died in the glory
OF
what
was
never
received
In the name OF peace power greed
the list is to long to mention
Somewhere somebody
Is
Going to die
die
By the name
OF
Octagon of seven referred
To the 7 continents

You light me up like a Christmas tree
And I feel so juvenile
But I'm too chicken to say how I feel
Because I'm still in denial

Because there's so many words you've said
And I've wondered if they were for me
With so many words that I've said
You were always listening

Because I remember my words
And it appears you did too
You're a very good listener
For someone I've rarely spoken to

Because I'm running towards you
But is this the right way to go
I'm chasing after someone
Who I don't even know

We're flirting with the line
And I'm on the edge
Are you going to cross
Or stay true to your pledge

And now,
because of you,
I will keep asking myself
if I am the reason
why you
left.

how long did it take you to forget?
the overwhelming pain that latches onto your heart and won’t let go
it will always be there
watching
waiting
for you to break
you are surrounded and there is nothing you can do to rid of it
because this is what your life is now
constantly drowning in the waters that are depression

Today they are on the frontline
not because they are the leaders.
They know how to sneak their way up.

You were always loving me "despite"
I needed you to love me "because"

In the middle of the afternoon
I realized, everything will be gone soon.
I have a problem that I can't say
I don't know how to make people stay.

Everything's falling apart,
I know what to do in my part
But I let ***** happen
In the end, I'm always forgotten.

I know I'm the one to blame
Why things are like this
For my reasons are always lame
And that's why I'm not in peace.
It's afternoon and my mind's a mess, my heart's not in peace and my body is weak to process things. How do you make people stay?

you took so many place
in my heart
    that i almost can not find
      a home to stay

you burn it all
  but i can not say a word

it is my fault
for loving you too much
   i love you too much
some things is just hard to understand. you told me, i feel the way too much. my feelings was too much for you. it hurts. guys please tell me how to control feelings?

I can laugh
Because I have
Known sadness
Oh, my goodness I didn't know it would be this popular. I look at my phone and see 34 new emails. Thanks for reading the poem!

If
Because,
       if
ever you
     know

We'll
      never be
friends like
      before.
I like you.
          My heart
burns in
          the thought
of you.
