This may be the first poem I have ever finished.

Tears of Blood

Tears of blood stream down my face
As my heart begins to cry
Locked away, alone it seems
Always asking, why?

Crimson tears cascade down
My silent agony
Giving up on long lost dreams
My heart begins to bleed

A bloody rose forms on my desk
As tears slip off my face
An emptiness inside my chest
A broken, empty place

As silent tears slide slowly down
A hand creeps to my chest
To find the icy dagger
That has laid my heart to rest

I wish these tears would take away
Some small amount of pain
And leave me with a happy place
Far from this bloody rain

Lonely

I'm so tired of being lonely
In cold, dark emptiness
I'm dead and gone and broken
I live life pationless

Everything I care for hurts
It cuts mke deep inside
I have nothing left to live for
And in no one to confide

I cry every night and day
Hot tears burn my eyes
I stare upward unknowing
Into a blank, grey sky

I cringe in pain with every thought
About those that I love
I feel so helpless deep inside
A little, lost, broken dove

I hope someday I'll find my wings
Then maybe I'll fly free
Even now I know, with a grave certainty
That no one flys with me.

Locked Away

I'm locked away inside my mind
Upon a sunless beach
Praying to my hopeless dreams
That I simply cannot reach

Closed up tight inside my mind
I only break down and cry
I simply can not break out
No matter how I try

Thrust away in shadow
A silent, dark abyss
I was once so joyous
What has gone amiss?

Happiness is now long gone
A distant memory
But hope remains
In her sweet face
She just might set me free

 

[MoonboundXVI]

Forever
Forever adrift
Forever alone
Forever out there
On my own

I’ve been so lost
Inside my soul
My heart is now
An empty hole

Forever empty
Forever gone
Forever waiting
For the dawn

I know it’s there
Forgotten love
I know she’s coming
Angel from above

Forever caring
Forever true
Forever beautiful
As morning dew

I see them now
My angel’s wings
I see her smiling
Oh, hope it brings

Black Velvet

I feel my tears a falling
And sense the darkness calling
The all consuming blackness
Numbs my soul

It silences my feelings
And keeps my heart from reeling
From all the pain
It’s what I’ll always know

Serenity and softness
I don’t feel so heartless
It’s giving me back
Some humanity

I’m wrapped up in a blanket
I took the pain and sank it
It shelters me
From everything I feel

I’ve hidden my heart for certain
Behind a velvet curtain

 

[MoonboundXVI]

Love And Pain
Love and pain go hand in hand
The passion always dims
Fire put out, smothered by sand
Yes, love and pain go hand in hand

Love and pain walk side by side
Heartbreak always follows
It comes with hurt so hard to hide
Yes, love and pain walk side by side

Love and pain match step for step
Emptiness takes their place
A dark hole opens inside my chest
Yes, love and pain match step for step

Love and pain end one by one
Numbness comes instead
Don’t search for light, for there is none
Yes, love and pain end one by one

From The Shadows

I’m watching from the shadows
Everyone walks around
With smiles on their faces
There’s happiness abound

I’m watching from the shadows
I truly wish to join
I don’t think I’m wanted
By some flip of a coin

I’m watching from the shadows
I long for a happy dream
But I’m stuck here waiting
With no one to hear me scream

I’m watching from the shadows
I do not think I fit
I am far to too different
And alone here I shall sit

I’m watching from the shadows
I cannot step through that door
And so, alone in shadows
I’ll remain forever-more

Alternate Ending: Written by a good friend

I’m watching from the shadows
Waiting, I have no choice
Hoping against hope
That for once, I’ll hear her voice
