Alright. I got a message on Figment about a magazine looking for poetry and/or short stories. I'd really love to enter my poetry but I just don't know what to put in. That's why I'm going to ask all of you guys what your favorite is and what you think would be most likely to win. Alright! Here I go. Please be honest! And, btw, you can only choose three!
Waiting for You:
I am here waiting
all alone.
Waiting for you,
for you to come home.
Over and over,
I sit here.
Every evening,
Waiting for you,
for you to come home.
I have tried
to forget about you,
But all I can do is sit here
waiting for you,
for you to come home.
I look back,
back at your photos,
and I cry.
I sit here,
waiting for you,
for you to come home.
Here I sit
longing for you,
for you to come home.
Until the End (A Figment and Inkpop favorite):
Dark.
It's a perfect day for a funeral,
dark and gloomy.
Rain is stained on the broken bricks,
and all love is lost.
Drenched in black, everyone is.
Eyes.
Covered in dark make-up,
when I cry, My tears are black.
Perfect for the occasion.
Hate.
That you're gone.
Those times what we were together,
are all gone.
They are simply memories.
Not reality.
Fake.
Is what you did.
You faked our love.
You said that you'd never leave,
what about now?
Where are you?
Lost.
Is what I am without you.
Tell me please,
where you are.
Dead.
That is what I am,
because you are gone.
We were going to die together,
don't you remember?
Selfish.
Is what you are.
Ladies first,
you always said.
It was me who should die first.
Dance.
You will do.
Dance,
dance with the Devil.
Forget.
Forget me,
and I will forget you.
I Wish You Well:
I'm So sick and tired.
I see right through you now.
I'm sickened by your surprise.
You left me all alone, to rot on my own.
As days go bye, I find myself breaking.
My heart becomes cold.
"Take me, take me," I say once again.
"Please let me in. Don't break me again."
You smile your devilish grin, ignoring me,
and continue to walk over me,
like you've done for years now.
Tomorrow you'll be talkin' to yourself, askin' yourself,
"Why did I do this?"
I'll come back, just to shut you out again.
I wish you well, my dear, I wish you well.
Some of the Thing I Love:
We gather 'round the couch,
my Dad reminds us not to slouch.
We talk so long,
our voices like a song,
no matter how long.
A small hand takes mine,
and we dance;
we shine.
Together tonight,
we use all our might,
to keep our friendship strong
no matter how wrong.
These are only some of the things I love,
we kiss, we love, we hug.
To spend time together,
our love as fragile as a feather,
these are only some of the things I love.
Dark Days:
My darkest days have come,
unfortunately not followed by the sun.
My faith in you is dry,
and I need sometime to be my guide.
If you reach out your love,
maybe then will come the sun.
But until that day,
I will have to sit here and wait.
The Beauty of Art::
They say a smile is worth a million words,
but you can't see it if Mona Lisa's back is turned.
Not even the crinckle of her eyes and the dimples that she hides.
And what about Van Gogh; the starry night he shows?
You wouldn't even know how bright the night is,
no, you wouldn't even know if your eyes were closed.
So I tell you, open your eyes to the beauty outside, and
never turn your back, unless you promise to look back.
Because you can't always see when your last second will be,
and your creativity is just ready to breathe.
Love, Faith, Trust, and Hope:
Love is fragile, love is rare,
love is something that we share.
Faith is strong, faith is long,
faith is something not many live on.
Trust is hard, but trust is great,
no matter how long it will take.
Hope is trust, hope is faith,
hope is love, and so, so great.
