Mirror Mirror that stands before me
What do you see

Monster Monster is what I see
A thing of nightmares is reflected

Why Why do you see me like this
My past is behind me

Reflection Reflection is what I offer
And I have reflected who you are

Wrong wrong I think mirror
I have done nothing wrong

Blood Blood on your hands
Murdered hundreds you have

Please Please don't remind me
I want to not think of that

Death Death you have caused
You cannot hide what you have done

Monster Monster is what I am
No longer can I contain it

I started a ‘poetry slam’ a while ago…

Perpetual Smiles (A Cheesy Poem)
I may not melt to the ground
Nor become weak at a glance
I know whom I love and why I love
I just hope for a chance

Whether that be now
Or a sweet yet far off tune
I know it's one I'll hum
Because it's as sweet as you

I know that there'll be awkwardness
Pain and even more
But throughout all the suffering
Is Joy waiting at my door

And that is why I'm asking you
To listen and to hear me through
I wish I could give you everything
But love is the only thing I can bring
I hope that in my life you'll stay
To smile here with me always

Alone against the world

I heard the wind
The news they bring
Thought you were gone
Lost, beneath the jewelled sea

Yet you are here, but
How? In this
Broken world, this
Broken place, that
We still call sanctuary

Home, at last, but
What is home?
A place? A
Concept? A
Mere dream amid suffering?
To that, there is no answer

But you are
Here, and you are real
(Are you? Am I?) Yet
We are lost, and
Forever will be, we
Who stand
Alone against the world

I feel so tired
Falling into darkness, I let it consume me
Even now, I feel it creeping in my soul

Yet I cannot rest
Slowly I force myself from the ruins of my mind
Reshaping what was once broken

The first steps are small
My legs feel weak, not wanting to move
But I know I must if I am to survive

This world is cruel
It takes from us, plays with us
Yet we must strive forward

Everything that begins, will come to an end
The mirror of a heart will shatter, broken
But with time, we will find the pieces

Not all the pieces will fit
The mirror will never be the same again
Yet we must work with what we are given

Heartbreak is inevitable, just as is death
We must learn to accept it

Hands up if you specialise in extremely dark/depressing poetry

are you guys cool if i post something?

Go on

its defiantly not as good as those but…
(The color of his eyes)

The color of a cold nights storm
or being stuck in a blizzard on a traffic jammed highway.
Maybe drinking ice water on a hot Saturday.
But I know the electric touch
of a first kiss.
The color of his lifeless hands and beat up jeans.
But when I stare into the windows of his very being
I don't just see my reflection,
or the changing of his pupil,
I see lifetimes of colors.

I do lean towards dark/depressing at times, since I write a good amount of my poetry on how I'm feeling

And that poem isn't bad at all

I've only ever two poems that aren't dark or depressing
Most of my poems are dark, depressing and g a y

You're the devil
You're a filthy piece of trash

Everything I thought about you was lies
You're a psycho, and they all know
You have staid beyond your welcome
You're so damn evil

You're the devil
You're a filthy piece of trash

Why'd you come back here
Trust issues, not to mention
Distrust and deceit are your tools
You're so damn evil

You're the devil
You're a filthy piece of trash

Throw you away to the depths of hells
Devouring our dreams and hopes
Forced to live with the disasters you have caused
You're so damn evil

You're the devil
You're a filthy piece of trash

You wish you could just fade away
Yet you must live with the things you have done
Forever you are hated and despised
You're so damn evil

You're the devil
You're a filthy piece of trash

How could you turn your back on us
Talk to us, let us breath
You keep doing this evil, coming for us now
You're so damn evil

I'm the devil
I'm a filthy piece of trash
I'm abandoned by all
I'm so damn evil

*Stayed

Who are you to me?
What is this dark feeling in my chest?
Where are we headed?
When will this pain end?
Why are we dancing around like this?
How can I forget you?

I knew my friend was “you”.
I felt joy when I was with “you”
I lived in a world with just me and “you”.
I didn’t know I would lose “you”.
I was naive and thought through it all, I’d have “you”.
I hoped to remember “you”.

“You” are a distant memory.
“You” are a dejected feeling.
“You” are a wish that can no longer be found.
“You” are constantly present in my mind.
“You” are pushing and pulling, like a tide.
“You” are gone, but hard to forget.

Will you stay the “you” I used to know?
Will you banish the “you” I hold too close?
Will you lead me to “you” or throw me away?
Will you let “you” drift away with the sands of time?
Will you cut the music or let “you” flow in endless melody?
Will you erase “you” and start anew without me?

I want to keep knowing you.
I want to keep faith in you.
I want to trust that I’ll meet you.
I want to lose the lies around you.
I want to run to you.
I want to stay with you.
So stay with me
