Hey Zara,

i know you think theyre awesome but yours are still way better you should post them up here.

shona...x

Fine then =/

 

Sorry…

 

Perhaps I should have said something?

Perhaps I should have let you know?

Perhaps I took the easy way out?

Perhaps I didn’t really want to go?

 

Did you want to help me so?

Did you pray for me?

Did I hide the pain away?

Or did you really see?

 

Should I have stayed with you that night?

Should I not have left?

Should I have been much more brave?

And seen it through this mess?

 

What was I thinking?

What made me think that way?

What did I want you to have?

That you didn’t have anyway?

 

I didn’t stay with you because,

I wanted to give you more.

I thought you wanted more than me,

I thought this was the cure.

 

I didn’t realise it was me,

I didn’t notice in time.

And now you pay the unpayable debt,

The one I left behind.

 

I wish you wouldn’t cry for me,

I wish flowers weren’t packed.

Around my cold hard tombstone,

I wish I could come back.

 

I’m sorry I wasn’t strong enough,

I don’t deserve your love.

I’m sorry that I hurt you,

I’m sorry I wasn’t enough.

 

 

I remember…

 

I remember those night’s

When we’d stay up late

All the time getting caught

It must have been fate

Yet still we didn’t learn

Mum thought we were dumb

But we didn’t really care

‘Cause at least we had fun

 

I remember that holiday

In the summer o three

We got fat on ice cream

And sat by the sea

We went on the rides

You screamed through the lot

I teased you about it

Put you on the spot

 

I remember little things too

Like trips to the park

Shopping in London

Watching fireworks spark

Chasing the rabbits

Camping out in the dark

Riding the ponies

Making our dog bark

 

I remember that day

Worst day of my life

Would be yours too

Had they not raised the knife

They stabbed you once

And took you away

But I felt like it was me

For I too had to pay

 

I remember you well

Your smile, your frown

Your lovely brown hair

Your blue nightgown

How you hugged me and held me

Told me what others would not

And needless to say

I never forgot

 

 

thats really good beth i bet it took you ages to write that. p.s. please add me as your fav

Awesome! I was on the Roll of Honour in last's years Greif Encounter Poetry comp =D But my poems are no where near as good as yours!

The constant spin

The lack of recognition
The vision to be idolized
Against the grudge of envy
She's in a solitary world
Dreaming of breaking free

She looks into the crystal ball
It shows a borderline
An overloaded lorry
That's more like it
Spindly one minute, paunchy the next

The lack to decipher
The vision to be idolized.....

The awe of the finish
Every peice another inch
Closer and closer by the hour
But this isn't real
The truth always hides
Why?

The lack to see inside
The vision to be idolized...

The want to be elevated
The need to be elevated

The constant whirling of wind
It never goes
Like a parasite never leaves the body
She wants help to reach her sun
The glowing reminder of happiness
But craziness knows her by name

It's me and this fight alone.

The perception of reality

She cries with laughter,
She sings with happiness,
She jumps for joy,
She giggles with excitement,
She talks with confidence,
She screams with exhilaration.

She keeps going-but underneath the false exterior lies a different story...

She cries with guilt,
She sings her mocking song,
She jumps for gold that's out of her reach,
She giggles for sanity,
She talks with a nervous stutter.
She screams.

Finding the truth

She peirced me to shreds...

The constant spin of a forgotten memory
Playing with my thoughts
She knew i needed to master the sly art of control
She doesn't know the feeling of being at one with another

She split me up....

The promise of one thing
The commitment of another
She told me what i wanted to hear
Against the uproar of reality
The plate wasn't what she'd told me

She decieved me...

She played the melody that i was breaking bones
That i was fading out like the sun at night
I knew the lie was tainted
One ultimatum
Disgracing another

She lied to me...

I kept my promise
I really did
She didn't keep hers
I tried and I tried
But it was never going to work..

Hope u like them =]

By the way i got an A* in these for my orginal writing, thats why there kinda not straight forwrard!

My Sister, Rosa

Rosa is different ... but I love her 

Rosa is unique ... but I love her

People stare at us walking down the street ... but I love her 

Rosa hits me playfully , it hurts ... but I love her

People take the mick ... but I love her

I think of her every second of the day ... but I love her

I love her, Rosa's going to love me, too!!!

 

I just wanted to say that everyones poems are amazing. well done. Shona...x

If Only

 

If only things were different,

And you never had to leave.

If only things were different,

And we’d never had to grieve.

 

If only things were different,

And you didn’t get taken away.

If only things were different,

And we’d had you here to stay.

 

If only things were different,

I’d be a big sister to you.

If only things were different,

We’d be together; strong and true.

 

If only things were different,

We’d be the best of friends.

If only things were different,

Life wouldn’t be full of twists and bends.

 

If only things were different,

You would be there when I cried.

If only things were different,

If only you hadn’t died.

 

If only things were different,

Everything would be alright,

But I know you’re watching and protecting me,

Through every single night.
