I wrote these Poems when I was young and dealing with teenage angst. I like them and they seem so talented for a young girl. Just thought I would share them, as they are currently sitting in an unused notebook on my bookshelf and I thought they deserved other peoples view points.
The Sleeping Rose
DATE: 05 June 2004
The red rose standing tall and proud
Remember me it says
Remember the past left behind
Try not ever forget.
The red rose filled with blood and tears
Memories of what’s been done
Memories of pain can strengthen
To forgive and forget.
A red rose I place in your sleep
Your eternal slumber
A rose planted to remember
Here to sleep on your grave.
The red rose standing with purpose
Remember me it sighs
Remember my past and shed tears
Do not ever forget.
The End of Innocence
DATE: 07 August 2004
The dark shadow behind bright eyes
Somewhere hidden deep behind the lies
Sunlight exploding onto the calm beach
Cheeks a healthy colour of peach
The sky bright blue reflecting their eyes
That had never known how to despise
Laughter high and full of joy
Smiles radiantly pure and coy
The eyes sparkling gems full and bright
No evil is lurking away from sight
Innocence not trapped in the crashing tide
This disappears as time does bide
Sudden clashing of the sea and the rocky shore
With certain knowledge the pain is more
Hidden hatred within hidden fears
That can’t be concealed by falling tears
Tears falling into the reaches of the horrible leer
The laughter turns to screaming none can hear
Smiling cruelly with twisted spite
Deepening darkness in the terror struck night
Realisation that the wounds won’t heal
The layers of thick skin that won’t peel
Trapped behind the pale skin
A silent war begins within
Time begins to seem never ending
The warning signs they keep sending
Light not evident in this darkened world
A vision of truth has now been uncurled
Only relief found is an ending of life
the pain ended by the sharpened knife
Blood now bleaching the shore
Seeing into the hardened core
The waves are calmer the storm is at end
How can pain be felt if it can no longer be mend
A body washed up within the quiet night
Eyes unseeing void of all light.
Goodbye
DATE: 11 January 2006
Goodbye,
The slow words of inevitable destruction
The inner turmoil my construction
I wait not for these simple words
For the only one bothered to turn to my pain
Are only my thoughts that continue to drain
I am in a dark world sometimes light may filter in
But behind it is laughter at my selfish sin
I wait not for the simple release
Because never will it claim me so I may be free
I am stuck and lonely so my fate must be
I am lying in chains wrapped so tight
No matter how I struggle to be freed from their might
I wait not for someone to bring me joy
For when I do it forms into betrayal I wish to scorn
My life and death meaningless for not one will mourn
I will be trapped in my cell no longer awake
No one to comfort as I twist and shake
I wait not for someone to finish me off
Because they all did by leading me to this despair
They might wonder if they should care
Though caring is beyond me as I accept this chore
For I have rotted all the way to my hardened core
I wait not for my soul to re-join me
If it is gone why does it still ache
As though with every breath I intake
I am tired and old but still have no joy
Merely fates plaything an insubstantial toy
I wait not for anything
It all must end
My shattered soul can never be mend
The blackness has claimed me and I yield to its call
For me it is now only a shortened fall
I sink back into the embrace of death
As I hope that this be my final breath
With energy depleted all strength gone
I mutter one final word that has waited for so long
Goodbye.
Hourglass
DATE: 29 September 2003
Time is meaningless to the wiser eye
Time is everything to the knowledgeable fool
As the clock ticks with a steady pulse
You realise that with time the pulse will slow
Until the time it stops completely
Until the minute it beats no longer.
