Mistress demise

I though her an angel when she came from above
a good hearted woman, promising love.
but I soon found her a demon in disguise.
she was the devil's queen, she was mistress Demise.

She is thirsty for blood and she needs a new groom.
she craves a stray soul to lead to his doom.
you watch out I tell ya, keep sharp both eyes,
or you just might get caught by the mistress Demise.

A spider who's building the cleverest web,
she'll drive you all mad if she gets in your head.
if you look too closely you'll see in her eyes,
she's really insane, that mistress Demise.

I love this one so much I had to read it several times, good job!!

I did not realize there was a poem chat and now I am here

Welcome

regret is an attempt to avoid what has already happened
time is a made up(and fucked up) concept
nothing doesn’t exist, for there is always something
bread is simple things made into a more complex thing
toast is bread held under heat until crisp

idk if this chat is dead but i wrote this in homeroom

@hyunjins-eyemole

Your awesome the way you are
Don’t do that
Be perfect
Go put on some makeup
Why won’t you be yourself
Your ugly
So stupid
Your voice is so annoying
Quit pretending to be someone else
I hate you
Ur a bitch
Go die we don’t want you here
Your my best friend forever
Such a loser
You slut
Oh my gosh just go cut
Be yourself
Not that way

@Leo-Valdez-Is-The-God-Of-Chaos

okay, not to drown out the previous poem… but I've wanted to write this down somewhere

beautiful day:

T'was a beautiful day the day of
the birth of a man who felt only love.
the carpenter's son, the savior of man,
here to save the earth, through his great plan.

T'was a beautiful day every day of
the teachings of he who felt only love.
he spoke of gratitude, service, and such,
but some people didn't like him too much.

T'was a beautiful day the day of
the death of someone who felt only love.
there were those who loathed him and took him away
and he let them kill him, the world to save.

T'was a beautiful day the day of
the return of he, who felt only love.
he appeared to some, though he hid from most,
he let his followers know that he wasn't lost.

I'll publish the last verse if you can guess who it's about, or if it goes for three days without the correct guess.

(I am assuming it is based off of Christianity? I used to go to the Methodist Church where I live. Currently, I am not incredibly religious.)

(I’m guessing it’s Jesus. I’m pretty religious, actually though I don’t agree with a lot of fellow Methodists on some things.)

Me and You

When I am around you,
I smile competitively.
And inside I only hope
That you start to see me.

I think of the times we've had.
Short-lived, limited, but fun.
Sometimes breaking all the rules.
Sometimes breaking none.

"Love is like an ocean,"
At least, that's what they say.
But I think love is like a battle;
You win and lose everyday.

You are the land,
And me, the sky.
Each time I crash,
You encourage me to fly.

So yes, we have a lot in common,
And yes, I really like you.
But the bog problem is,
Do you like me, too?

Ode to Truth

This ode is to be read in silence.
For infinity, bite your tongue.
Maybe then you'll understand the quiet solitude
Of the brittle.
We ran for years or lifetimes
However short the may be,
We drew breath and ate and ran
But never slept.

We shouted in our heads,
As if the noise could raise the dead,
But no matter how we bled,
We couldn't resurrect ourselves.
We knew that we were slowly dying,
Pointless cursing, confused crying,
Always failing, yet never trying,
We kept crashing to the ground.
And the grave swallowed us whole,
A loud and violent, bitter hole,
But Hades was already full,
So we are ghosts.
Wandering the earth, still crying,
Always floating, never flying,
It's not like we were ever lying,
We just kept the truth silent for eternity.

There are songs on the radio,
And statistics on the web,
But why can't you just say, "Hey, what's wrong?"
Because we're dead.
We couldn't make you go away,
So we decided to leave.
We are long-forgotten puzzles,
We rest in half-assembled fragments.

Closure

I don't mind a few salty tears
I'd take vicious words any day
But a long, fading friendship, that breaks me
Closure's the only thing that I crave
A heart will keep longing for its owner
If it doesn't realize they're gone
The only way it can get over it
Is if it, too, realizes it's done
But I don't think I'm tired of you yet
I don't think I can just walk away
I can't give up on a mystery
I don't know what went wrong, you won't say
I knew that things would turn out like this
But I'll still cry when I wake up from a dream
I still cling to the hope one will come true
But you've make it so hard to believe

nothing gold can stay.
that's what the poem says,
that nature's first green is gold
and after the first,
nobody gets the beauty until it's gone.

how is that
exactly how i feel?
like the hue was impossible to hold?
the leaf drifted from the branch,
and now we're apart,
and i don't know where to start
because i know i meant it when i said that i loved you.
i meant it at one point,
but i don't know if i mean it anymore.

so this is what i told you
and you cried.
i lied,
and told you that maybe one day,
in another time,
we could.
we could get back together,
we could fall in love,
but the truth is
that i'm bad at loving people back.
i need a plaque for the hall of fame of fucking off.
who wants to be close with someone
who always goes away?

nothing gold can stay.

(i'm going through a semi-messy breakup right now and so this is how i'm feeling)
