POEMS IV

Harden My Heart

I won't let myself get hurt again.
I won't cry anymore tears.
If I don't let anyone in,
then no one can break me.
Hardening my heart will leave me lonely,
But at least I will have no pain.
I want to forget all the bad,
never letting it touch me again.
Protecting my heart,
In a shield of armor.

Push & Pull

As I push you away,
You pull me closer.
Please let me go
I don't want you anymore.
Really I don't.
Why don't you believe me?
Is it the tears in my eyes?
You broke my heart,
Why would I trust you again?
The pieces of my shattered heart,
want you to place them back together.
I wish I could just cut you loose,
But as I push you away,
You pull me closer.

You're Still Here

I close my eyes
And feel your arms around me
Even though you're gone,
You're with me all the time.
Every time I smile or laugh,
I think of you.
Sometimes I swear I see you in the crowd.
I call your name but no one answers.
You're all around me.
You're everywhere.
You will live in my heart always.
Yet I am all alone.

Lies

Nothing but lies,
fill my head.
What should I believe?
So tired of being confused,
I want to know what is true.
I am not a child,
I can handle the truth.
Why must there be so many lies?
What purpose do they serve?
They hurt everyone so very much,
as they live in a world of lies.

Untitled

Why do you treat me like a thing to control?
I have a mind of my own,
I am not brainwashed by anyone.
I am not your puppet.
I don't want to be yelled at.
I should be able to say what I want,
without fearing what you will say.
We disagree and that's ok.
But not to you,
If i don't think like you,
then I am nothing.
Why don't you think my ideas are important?

War

What is the point of war?
What does it solve?
So many people will never return home.
On and on it goes,
Will it ever end?
How much blood will have to be spilled?
Why not try a peaceful way?
That causes no lives to end.
Or wait for help?
And work together.
Why chose violence?
Why alienate the world?
Bring the soldiers home safely.

Gone

Tears stain my face
I can barely breath.
I'll never see you again
My life is now so empty.
Why did we have to go to war?
Why did you have to die?
I'm filled with so many questions that have no answers.
Why, why, why, why?
Echoes in my head.
How many people are like me,
their hearts broken into millions of pieces?
I'll never hold you again.
Or see your smiling face.
You're lost forever.
The price of war is much too high,
Your life held so much value
And filled me with so much love
But now you are gone,
without a goodbye,
Leaving me all alone.
Why?

My World

In my world there is no pain,
No heartache,
No loss,
No tears.
In my world people are happy,
Filled with love,
Filled with joy,
Filled with hope.
In my world there is no fear,
No death,
No hate,
No suffering.
My world is nothing but a dream,
A wish,
A vision,
A desire.
But can my world ever exist among the lies,
Among the wars,
Among the Killing,
Among the horrors.
Is there any room for peace?
