Cinder's poetry

[Cinder]

Yeah, I'm copying these over from Universal...I think I need to take a teensy lil' hiatus from Uni after that religion debate *whistles innocently*

Anyway...

When I'm With You (10/10/08)

When I'm with you
Everything in the world seems right
When I'm with you
Nothing can possibly go wrong

When I hold you in my arms
I feel reality slip away
When I hold you in my arms
All I see is you and me

When I look into your eyes
I feel as if time stops
When I look into your eyes
I don't want time to start again

When I'm with you
I realize how blessed I am
When I'm with you
I realize just how much I love you...


My World (10/12/08)

I look at the world today
And realize that it's in shambles
Senseless killing and violence
People being unjust and judgemental

I look at the world today
And hardly see a glimmer of hope
The killing will never stop
And the corruption will never fade

I look at the world today
And watch in disgust
Violence will always be a part of people's lives
And people will always judge one another

I look at the world today
And I'm grateful
I have my own world, full of love and hope
That world...my world...is you...


Second Chance (11/11/08)

Okay, so I'll admit
I maaaaay have screwed up a bit
I made a mistake I'll always regret
Tossing you aside was a bad bet

I shouldn't have let you go
I couldn't have been more low
And I know it'll be a long and hard fight
But I'd like another chance, and do things right

I'd like to give you the chance you deserve
And yes, I know I've got a lot of nerve
It's hard to resist, though
Since what we had was the greatest thing I'll ever know

I want to go back to the way things were
Back before I was tricked by her
When the only love I knew
Was the one between me and you


Chip on My Shoulder (11/12/08)

I've got a chip on my shoulder
I can't seem to get rid of it
And the worst part is
I'm the one who put it there

I've got a chip on my shoulder
I can't seem to get rid of it
I know how it got there, though
I got it the day I let you go

I've got a chip on my shoulder
I can't seem to get rid of it
...At least not alone...
I think I might need your help

I've got a chip on my shoulder
I can't seem to get rid of it
All I need is for you to fall into my arms
And brush this chip off my shoulder

I had a chip on my shoulder
Thanks to you, it's no longer there
Now, all I need is for you to stand by me
To make sure it never comes back


The Past (11/14/08)

I love you, and I always will
I get jealous when I see you with other guys
I wonder how I could have screwed up so badly
I wonder if I could get another chance

But I know it won't happen, that I can accept
And no matter how much I love you, I need to move on
It's like some people say
There are just some things that are better left in the past

I'll find someone new, someone who cares
What we had was a blast, but it's over now
And even though I'll always love you
There's someone out there I'll love even more


Control (11/15/08)

You've had control over me
I was wrapped around your little finger
But now I'm sick of your sh!t
I am yours no more

Now don't get me wrong
I'll always consider you a friend
But I don't need you controlling me
So I'm taking off this leash you have me on

I hope you'll understand
I am my own person
I am no longer under your control
And I love the taste of freedom


My Mistake (11/16/08)[/u]

You don't know how good something is until it's gone
I learned that the hard way
I had something great goin' on
And I threw it all away

I was careless and let it go
When I look back
It was the greatest thing I'll ever know
And I let it slip through the crack

They say some things are better left in the past
But I just can't accept that
I gave it up too fast
I feel like such a measly little rat

There is only one way to make things right
I need to get it back, you see
And no matter how hard I have to fight
I'll restore the love between you and me


Hate (11/17/08)[/u]

I hate the world
And everything in it
Religion, bias, society, war, and more
It's all a load of bullsh!t

What are we fighting for?
We fight over how to read a book
We fight just to be at war
You'd realize it's pointless if you took a look

Sometimes I wonder why I'm still here
I hate the world as it is
Getting away from it all is nothing to fear
And yet I'm still dealing with this

There's something keeping me bound to this earth
Something left for me to do
Something that takes me to a world of mirth
That something is to be with you

You're my will to live
In this world of lies
You have so much love to give
Love that never dies

I can't live without you
You're the best thing to happen to me
Being with you is all I want to do
With you, I can live with dignity

I like it. A few of your poems have saddish themes, but none of them fall into the "cutting emo" trap. Nice!

[Cinder]

Thanks Hanners ^^;

Anyway...Imma writin' a new one :B

Faith (12/1/08)[/u]

Everyone stands for something
Everyone has something they believe in
Something that gets them through the darkest days
Something that keeps their spirits alive

Some people put this faith in their religion
Looking to unproven and unseen deities for guidance
They base their lives around texts
And lose touch with reality

But what do I have faith in?
I don't believe in any god
And I despise religion as a whole
It's as if I had no faith at all

But there is something I have faith in
Something more feasible than God
But still not tangible
Something I see and feel every day

I have faith in us
Faith that our love will last
That is what gets me through my darkest days
That is what keeps my spirits alive and well


EDIT: Yay, anudder new one (I'm on a roll...two in half an hour :B)

WAKE UP!!! (12/1/08)[/u]

WAKE UP, DAMNIT!!!
Look at the world around you
Look at the hate, the fear, and the pain
Look at the suffering your fellow man endures

And what do you do?
You pray to a God that obviously doesn't listen
Hell, that's if he even exists
What good is it doing?

Your prayers do no good
So why do you insist on doing it?
Have you ever stopped to think
That they may not be heard?

You need to wake up
And realize how futile it is
There's only one way to end the suffering
You need to take matters into your own hands

Stop whispering to a God that doesn't care
And do something to end the hate, fear, and pain
Stop acting like God's gonna do anything
And answer those prayers yourself

After, what? Fou months, almost five? I'm finally writing another poem...sorry for the double XD

My Rock[/b]

I took a hard hit
I was kicked in the sack
It was a load of bullshit
I couldn't even fight back

I wouldn't have made it
Without my rock by my side
To help me brace the hit
And roll with the tide

My rock is my life
Holding me when I feel pain
Helping me through the strife
Sheltering me from the rain

Without my rock, I'm nothing
I become weak
Losing it is something
Of which I don't want to speak

My rock is the greatest thing to ever happen to me
And to it gratitude is due
But if it's something you can't see
My rock just happens to be you

So thanks, my rock
For staying at my side
For protecting me 'round the clock
For helping me roll with the tide

[ScienceFairy]

Is it about your gf? It's about her, isn't it? Aww, that's so sweet. =3
