Default New Thread for Poems/Songs

Well, it's been a long while since I've seen any poems or songs (probably because the Writer's Guild was changed to this). Anyway, I thought I would try to get it going again.

These are both poems about relationships with a lot of love that ended with a lot of hurt and hate. The first one I'll just post here and the other one I've attatched in jpg format for artistic purposes.

Nothing Ever Changes

If I had a tear for every regret
I should have drown the moment we met; because
Loving you is like falling down a spiral staircase.
Round and Round we go,
And every fight is another slip;
Every shout another bruise.
And nothing ever changes;
The next step is always there
To meet your face, your heart.
And nothing ever changes.

Somewhere along the fall I forgot,
Why we ever began our ascent to the top; because
Hating you is like keeping heart and soul apart.
Down and Down I fall
And every inch hurts even more
Every foot is agony.
And nothing ever changes;
My Love for you is always there
To pour more salt in all the wounds.
And nothing ever changes.
Nothing.

Thats good.

I tried a couple of times to raise it back up ( the poetry) but either nobody writes it, or they are too chicken to post it.

I might post another one of my hundreds of poems in a day or two.

The Confines of His Mind (Intro)
What happens when a man who is loved wants to die? What happens? Because this man has some things - broken or rerouted in his mind. In his delerium, the false mind dictates what the lost soul should do. This leads to what others perceive as "madness." Heh, but "madness" can be seen from the outside. Madness is nothing more than "pain" & "turmoil" in this man's mind and heart. The focus of pain... Yes, yes.

What is one to do when the focus of pain is his mind? The strands and traces of insanity are non-existent, but still invade and plague. How is he supposed to know love when his mind does not recognize it? All he wants is for everything to just fade away. He'd like himself to fade away from the world.....


The Fading

What do you do when you want to disappear?
When the eyes are closed but you still sense fear
Ignoring the haunting that is still drawing near
Opening the eyes, but it's all unclear

-
This is the soul that refuses to show
This is the mind that refuses to know
When I step back and start contemplating
When I start to drift away, when I start the fading
-

Feeling the pain as my senses flow!
I'm fading away, which way to go?!
Feeling disaster down in my soul!
Don't know what to say or what I am told!

-Chorus-

Thoughts invading
I'm elevating
Painstaking
I start the fading

And so I'm waiting
To stop this hating
Degenerating
I start the fading

I'M DRIFTING AWAY FROM THE WORLD THAT I LOVE
LOOK TO THE SKIES AND THE DARK GODS ABOVE
CONFINE THE DEMON, CUZ HE'S BREAKING THE CHAIN
FALSE THOUGHTS EVERYWHERE, AM I GOING INSANE?

LOOK INSIDE ME CUZ I'M SEARCHING FOR THE PROBLEM
SEEMS THERE ARE PLENTY, BEING DRAGGED TO THE BOTTOM
SENSELESS THINGS NOW PERVADE ME
SO NOW I DIE IN THIS WORLD, I START THE FADING

Dead to myself, so I start the fading.......

This is a continuous poem made up of haikus.

Drifting Forever


Drifting forever
in a sea of my mistakes
longing to hold you.

I can see you still
lost to me in the current
always out of reach.

Your fading image
is a constant reminder
of what we once had.

Cold and all alone
in this unforgiving sea
drifting forever.

That was nicely done, D.

Here's another song of mine:

Story of an Ascetic

Verse 1:
Desperate to show the world that He actually exists.
Anger and frustration take hold, He clenches his fists.
Temptation and the sins He must resist.
He tells the voices to go away, but they insist.
Drifting away from it all, He tries to find a meaning to this.

Chorus:
I dont need anyone.
I am no one.
I am nothing.
The World is all.
I have nothing.
So I fall.

Verse 2:
Complications of his heart start to take hold of him
He doesnt want anything, He just wants his world.
Maybe he just needs the presence of another.
Because the madness of it all, he'll soon discover.
He has no life, his feelings just bottle up inside.
He's no good at showing feelings, but he can damn sure hide.

Chorus

My world is nothing now.
My mind is nothing now
My life is nothing now
-Repeated till the end-


His feelings will never show.
The value of friendship, he'll never know.
So he'll spend his life with his heart bleeding.
All because he's afraid of meeting...
