Never misuse the one

Who likes you....

Never say busy to the one

Who needs you......

Never cheat the one

Who really trusts you......

Never forget the one

Who always remembers you.!

In a cold, lonely room,

She sits on the ground.

The tears pouring down her cheeks,

The pain in her eyes.

every night,

the same.

She doesn't know and,

maybe she never will.

But as she sits,

You stand

very

still.

@beautifulWaterfall101

Thank you for sharing with us here. Will you be posting more of your poetry here?

Annie August 23rd, 2015

@beautifulwaterfall101, I like it, especially like the last three lines! There is a shift and the poem takes on a stillness, just as the person is still. Very cool.

Too late

You're supposed to be my support
Even if I end up in court
You're supposed to help me accept myself
Through sickness and in health
You're supposed to love me
More than anything that will ever be
You're supposed to be my dad
Take the place and be glad
But you never did this
You left me without a kiss
Left me pain that was real
And scars that won't heal
You ------- me over
And you were never sober
You were never there
So please don't say you care
No everything isn't okay
Everything is dark cold and grey
Truth is, I hate me
All because you had to flee
Because you left me unprotected
Like the sex you and mom perfected
I'm messed up at any rate
And it's just too ------ late

@amymarie17, One of the saddest things is when a parent, who's supposed to love and protect us, is unable to love us the way we need. Your poem really captures that sorrow.

I have sat beside the functional magnetic resonance

Imagining machines as part of what I do for dollars.

And I have looked at screens light up with colors

Instead of the source of light itself.

What the heck.

Prelude

Move your lips

three breaths

towards

the sundown,

where I hide

all my secrets

beneath the padlock of my earring

embroidered with the gold,

silky thread

of sunlight.

Maybe I'm not much of a poet:

I might know it...

Just wanted to share,

That I really do care...

About the poetry shared here,

to me, this thread is so dear

Thank you to every poet that has posted here.

i don't know much about poetry but i wrote this around may!!

on your birthday I would spend time with you

you'd always talk idle talk

and I liked it every word of it

maybe we could've gone for a walk

though I love being in my room

I always know but I am always lonely too

i remember sitting in white stone

next to you for a while

whistling wind it was all sun and it made me smile

what an idiot i was

thank you for reading.

@fionaapples1997speech

I like this poem. It tells an interesting story. I can almost hear their conversation, see her sitting there. The feelings expressed here are finely delineated and very real.

Monster made of mistakes

Why be myself

I'm fragile

I'm broken

I get tore down

Exposed for everyone to see

They see all my tears

All of my scars

All of my failures

And from this

I've grown into something I hate

I'm a monster made of mistakes

Dusty Pages

Grievous hurt by my own hand,

Has dealt a brutal blow.

When does pain that runs so deep,

Ever cease to flow?

I once could walk upon the shore,

Staring at the placid sea,

But alas the tide has slid away,

As if taunting me.

The castle I built for you my true

Is gone for evermore,

You with all my hopes and dreams,

Escaped through the shattered door.

I often strummed the haunting tune,

Of what we might have been,

As the gnarled and crooked hand of his,

Kept pointing out my sin.

Alas, I stood and walked ahead,

With a steady but cautious gate,

To amble down the dusty trail,

Before I miss my fate.

My star to north that guided me,

When I was cold and lost,

Has led me to a better place,

Despite the grisly cost.

I gaze the sky and watch the moon,

Rise up from her sleepy rest.

Are you watching too my dear,

Are you East or West?

I wash the wreckage of my life,

To make a soft warm place,

For you to lay whilst in my arms,

Protected by God's good grace.
