If I were Just a Body.

An autopsy would reveal that I
swallowed too many stars,

and every incision would look
like hideously-done cursive.

The busing inside and out
would be treated like ink blots,

and my congealing blood would
scream about how cold the room is.

A Beautiful Woman

jerry harrenstein

I love a beautiful woman
and she wears her socks 
right from out of a box.
Her eyebrows are gone 
and her face is drawn.
She would like to dance
with me all night long even 
into the early morning's dawn
and if she could 
she surely would.

Her heart is scarred, torn,

Christmas

Autumn Matthews

05 Jan, 2015 02:49 AM
The season of hope, the season of giving,
The time to reflect on the life you've been living. 
Children innocent, gleeful, jolly,
Masquerading in magical midnight folly.

Token gifts exchanged with teary eyes,
Sentimentality to make up for expressionless lies.
The streets lined bright with twinkling lights,
Amaretto, giddy to dispell never-ending nights.

The anticipation is welcomed into their chests,
The disillusioned only waiting to end their direst.

You won

I take a glance, 
at the scars on my wrists
they tell me, 
it doesn't have to be like this

I want to talk, 
to let it out
but nobody is there to listen, 
even when I shout,

depression is dark,
so speak up...

Colors of the Life

Parry Boparai

28 Dec, 2014 12:07 AM
It started with a rainbow,
Childhood, happiness knows,

Teenage and Northern Lights,
Memories, dull and bright,

Night's star remind me something,
Something of the passed times,
Something of the origin of life,
Something of the fallen vines.

Let me return to the past,

Broken Love Haiku

Craig

24 Dec, 2014 05:07 AM
Three words said to me,
My torn heart flutters a beat.
Can all this be real?

I ache to believe,
But I can’t handle the hurt.
Pain is all I know.

You said you love me.
I have loved you forever.
This unworthy man.

Breathless

Silence

13 Dec, 2014 11:07 AM
Wash away my true colours, hide who I really am
I don't deserve to live, I failed this life's exam
My demons have taken over, I struggle, I'm helpless
I feel so alone, abandoned and worthless

It all started from that word unsaid, unknown
You left me hanging there, breathless and alone
The many nights I cried, the scars I left behind
You're just a selfish lover; left unloved and blind

The countless struggles left scars upon my skin
As I weakly attempted to battle all my deadly sins

Masquerade

Silence

22 Dec, 2014 03:01 PM
This is a deception; it's a masquerade
You'll of course picture a cheerful parade
I'll fade from your memory; happy and smiling
Often laughing and most times beguiling

Take no note of my mask's crumbling surface
I lived through my life without any purpose
And I'll always stay trapped, inside of your mind
A girl, willingly helpful and foolishly kind

But behind the scenes, I'll cry myself to sleep
And this illusive image, of me I will keep

Depression

Celestial Starlight

23 Dec, 2014 07:57 AM
All alone they sit,
Waiting for the day,
When finally someone will come along,
And never walk away.

They cry themselves to sleep,
As they think about the pain,
Their hearts are now silent,
They think there's nothing left to gain.

Sometimes the pain is just too much,
That they all just want to forget,

Everyone Dies

Silence

22 Dec, 2014 12:01 PM
My shattered heart lays at your feet
It's bruised and scarred; unable to beat
And it will remain this way, you see
Until the day when you learn to love me

Please break this wall that you have built
So that my love for you won't wilt
Cause like a flower, it needs some light
And your smile, oh, it burns so bright

Your eyes, they whisper a story untold
They contrast between your heart so cold
