Perfect Sin

*~ This is the poem for english that I wasn't allowed to turn in because she found it.... inappropriate. ::smirk::~*
I see a couple, over there./ His hand is tangled in her hair./ She adores him, I can tell,/ And clearly he is treating her well./ They've been going steady near half a year,/ Although commitment's his greatest fear./ With heavy breath he pleads with her,/ Her face betrays that she's unsure./ But with half a smile she lets him in,/ Indulging in this perfect sin./ Then they begin a sacred dance./ She seem almost to be in a trance./ A tear of shame slides from her eye,/ He stops and whispers "please don't cry"./ Now it's over said and done,/ He tells her that she is the one./ Regret no longer does she feel./ She realizes his love's for real./ They'll be together till the end of their days/ Holding eachother forever this way.

With Half a Smile

*~another poem for english~*
I see a couple, over there./ His hand is tangled in her hair./ But not in a gentle, loving way,/ You can tell she wants to pull away./ His eyes are burning, all aflame./ And in his eyes reflect her pain./ He's seen her talking with her friends./ He threatens a pain that never ends./ As she sobs, her body shakes,/ And he loathes every move she makes./ Just his punch could kill her alone./ The impact rings of crushing bone./ She folds like a doll in want of use,/ I'm amazed that she's survived this abuse./ She has a moment to catch her breath/ But this time he swoops down, aiming for death./ With half a smile, he stands over her./ The past 8 months reduce to a blur./ And then --- he just walks away./ Although he killed a girl today.

Inner Pain

*~another English class poem~* I see the marks upon your arm/ why would you do yourself such harm/ and not tell me that something's wrong?/ this has been going on, how long?/ Are you bored with me, is there no spark?/ Can I not give you comfort through the lonely dark?/ Tell me if there's something I can do/ It kills me to see this happening to you./ You tell me that its not my fault/ and I take your words with a grain of salt/ but I can't help but feel that you're hiding from me/ that things aren't the way that they should be/ I can fix it, I know I can/ If you would just give me the chance/ I love you so much, it hurts me inside/ that in yourself you have no pride/ I want to hold you so close and make it all better/ don't leave me alone with this scarlet letter/ The only thing that I want is you/ Look in my eyes you'll see that it's true.

Kiss the Air Softly

*~My english teacher is making us write poems for class so this is one of what I'm sure will be many~* Kiss Kiss the air softly waste not long goodbyes/ I know you must leave/ ignore the tears in my eyes/ How long must I grieve?/ Kiss Kiss the air softly forget not this life/ no laughing with children/ No happiness must he have now with his bride/ Don't look back now that you're willin'/ Kiss Kiss the air softly and hurry back home/ The house has turned cold now/ I'm here all alone/ All that keeps me warm are my vows/ Kiss Kiss the air softly worry not for my sake/ as into the distance you shrink/ Fear for your life makes me quake/ Every day of your face I will think./ Kiss Kiss the air softly waste not long goodbyes/ I know you must leave/ ignore the tears in my eyes/ How long must I grieve?

My Everything

The thing that gives me strength enough/ just to roll out of bed/ is of what you told me yesterday/ I love you is what you said./ How do I get through the day?/ Why, I just think of you/ and the happiness it fills me with/ is enough to see me through./ How do I fall asleep at night?/ I imagine that you're there./ One hand coiled around my waist,/ the other stroking my hair./ And if you up and left/ then where would I be?/ There'd be no tune to my song, no breath in my lungs,/ no reason to live for me.

Beauty

Beauty is a physical thing/ this is mostly true/ but the beauty they don't write about/ is how I feel when I'm with you./ It's like when you smile at me/ my features transform/ I'm beautiful and radiant/ no longer tired and forlorn./ It's like you make me feel as if/ I'm the only one in the room/ that is pretty enough to be/ the one who makes you swoon./ There's one thing you must understand/ I need you to remind me/ that you think I'm beautiful/ so I can step more lightly./ And so you must remember that/ my confidence is a fragile thing/ so whisper your sweet words to me/ because it makes my heart sing.

Anger

I'm angry at the world right now/ Although I don't know why/ But every bit inside of me/ wants to scream and shout and cry./ I'm angry at my parents/ just for being there./ And I'm angry at my sister/ for blatantly not giving a care./ I'm angry at my house/ because it cages me in/ And I'm angry at myself/ for letting my patience grow so thin./ I'm even angry at one of my friends/ for something she shouldn't have said/ and shockingly, sometimes I hope/ that she will wind up dead./ But I know that this will go away/ by the time I get to sleep./ Or if not by then, then hopefully/ by this time next week./ Why won't the world just shutup/ and fucking leave me alone?/ All the more I write it down,/ My anger seems to have grown./ I'm so damn sick of everyone/ being all up in my face./ Why doesn't the room stop spinning?/ Please just slow the pace./ Let me catch my breath/ Wind down, chill out/ And this time around/ I'll try not to shout.
