#sadstories - Hello Poetry

Open yours eyes at the dim of the lights All was gone never to return Never heard the alarm sound though you whispered your confession that it was too loud to be ignored Now the reality gloats how detached it left Us Beating its chest hard like a raging king Kong Always hate when warning seems and you swerve All the unlimited times we bound And a bridge we made Crossing from two different mountains standing Yet a common river fed us both Now that river seems like a seasonal stream in the desert Only its flow left to glare Only bottom rocks left to stare None will quench their thirst on the soft sandy soil that the cool waters left With tym the memories we hold will fade fast than forest burnt With tym our lips will grow pale and rough Never to speak sweet words that touched...

Gone

Open yours eyes at the dim of the lights All was gone never to return Never heard the alarm sound though you whispered your confession that it was too loud to be ignored Now the reality gloats how detached it left Us Beating its chest hard like a raging king Kong Always hate when warning seems and you swerve All the unlimited times we bound And a bridge we made Crossing from two different mountains standing Yet a common river fed us both Now that river seems like a seasonal stream in the desert Only its flow left to glare Only bottom rocks left to stare None will quench their thirst on the soft sandy soil that the cool waters left With tym the memories we hold will fade fast than forest burnt With tym our lips will grow pale and rough Never to speak sweet words that touched...

Misled, heartbroken, Unclean, thoughts spoken Bad words, Sadly croaking Eyes filled, tears flowing An author’s power Turns me sour In this hour Pain becomes a tower Tall is the tower Made by pain No further gain Aided by words Slashing like swords An author’s power With words to devour Strength to empower But leads to only my cower.

An Author's Power

Misled, heartbroken, Unclean, thoughts spoken Bad words, Sadly croaking Eyes filled, tears flowing An author’s power Turns me sour In this hour Pain becomes a tower Tall is the tower Made by pain No further gain Aided by words Slashing like swords An author’s power With words to devour Strength to empower But leads to only my cower.

one, he has rosy red cheeks and doesn't speak yet, he is too shy but his mother loves him and his father already has dreams of a baseball player in mind three, his soft brown curls are becoming uncontrollable and his aunts coddle him and sing praises about his long eyelashes and he speaks with a stutter that his mom thinks is adorable five, he has a big birthday celebration and his father buys him a puppy and the neighbors come over and all of a sudden he is best friends with a boy named andy who likes to play with red toy trucks and loves to watch sports seven, his two front teeth have fallen out and he thinks he looks awfully strange and his older sister makes fun of him for it but it's okay because andy has a little sister, she is six, and she thinks he looks perfect ten, he is going to middle school and his father is already practicing with him because he wants to join the baseball team (he doesn't, not really, but his father wants him to so he does it) twelve, andy is the most popular boy at school and he still hasn't made the baseball team and everyone makes fun of him for it, but it's okay because andy's little sister isn't looking so little anymore and she says he's better than any boy at that school 14, high school has just started and he still has that slight lisp from when he was younger but that's fine, he doesn't talk to any one that much except her, hannah, who isn't just andy's little sister to him anymore 15, he's in love with hannah and he doesn't think there's anything more beautiful than her ballet routines and the way she shakes her hips ever so slightly and everything in his life is a mess because he's failing science and his older sister comes home drunk every night and his father has started coming to his room at night and he doesn't know what to do about it but it's okay because he has her to make everything better, his miracle was her 16, he finds out that she doesn't think she's as perfect as he does and she complains about how ugly she is and no amount of light kisses to her cheek make up for it 16, he sees the scars on her thighs one day and he asks her what it means because he refuses to believe she would do this and he beats up andy because he knew the entire time and didn't care 16, he finally tells his mother about his father coming to his room at night and she cries for her husband and her son, for both seem dead now 16, hannah goes to therapy and she's finally getting better, he thinks she's finally getting better 16, she's not 16, he attends his first funeral two months later, the girl he loves being buried six feet underground and her brother isn't there, he's at a party getting drunk and trying to forget her but he won't 16, he thinks about following in her footsteps 16, he tries 16, he can't 17, he does. he finds the rope his father used when they would go climbing together and he wrapped it around his neck and lit himself on fire, but no matter how many times he screamed, it didn't matter because his mother was in connecticut, knitting with her friends, and andy was smoking and his older sister was at college and in the end no one cared for the boy interrupted for he was walking on an unfinished bridge his entire life and he was bound to end up six feet under eventually, all the good things in life were (h.l.)
