Nightingale's Poetry

“Those Who Have A Heart”

Woe to those who have a heart,

for all they receive is pain.

Open wounds of mockery,

blood that leaves a stain.

Smile weakly, close your eyes,

perhaps it will go away.

Forget it child, you are so out of luck,

that pain is here to stay.

Tears continually fall,

from those eyes of bloodshot red.

Why have a heart to die,

when your soul is already dead.

Curl into a ball, take the knocks,

no one will stop to care.

That heart deceives you,

deception and apathy are quite a likely pair.


“An Instrument”

Love has forsaken me once more,

I’ve lost my heart.

Lost in sadness, lost in pain,

My soul’s torn apart.

My heart is but an instrument, only used to play.

Putting my heart on the line, to have it torn away.

Pain smitten, broken heart,

Take this pain away.

Sorrow laden shattered soul,

Love has a terrible price to pay.

My heart is but an instrument, only used to play.

Putting my heart on the line, to have it torn away.

Can my heart live in fear, afraid to love again,

Can you take away my fear?

Can I forgive, can I forget,

Can you give back my good cheer?

Is my heart an instrument, that you just want to play?

Am I putting my heart on the line for you, will it be torn away?

I care for you, I want to love,

But can I ever let go?

I believe that you care, I’m already letting go,

I truly love you so.

No longer just an instrument, only used to play.

No longer putting my heart on the line, never again

torn away.


"Lost Chance to See Forever"

One chance to have it all,

One time, you cannot fall.

One love, perfect in all ways,

One passion, for the rest of your days.

Twice lost, Thrice smitten,

Now he's gone, plainly written.

The painful words cut through me,

Rejected heart lost at sea.

One known, never forgotten,

Twice pain, Thrice rotten.

Love so deep, make me bleed,

All my happiness has fleed.

Take this vile cup from me,

Full of bitterness, hear my plea.

May love no longer touch my heart,

Help me erase that cursed dart.

Leave me in this emptiness,

To feel this blood stained bitterness.

An experience I never want to forget,

He's the greatest person I've met.

My forever, embraced by another,

Yet we still need each other.

Now I've fallen, Once we part,

Twice forgotten, Thrice tainted heart.


"Final Farewell"

You see me Lord, I can't see you,

I can't find what's right and true.

You showed me forever, I lost sight,

A love so true, a love so right.

I plea to you so bitterly,

Why can't he come back to me?

His heart is crushed, love forsaken,

Once so proud, but now is shaken.

I hate this heart inside of me,

I hate this soul, this personality.

I'd give anything to revive who he is,

To give him back all that's his.

I've lost my inspiration, my will to live,

My heart, my love, to him I give.

Unrequited, never returned, just empty words,

Still given, tears fall, my vision blurs.

I can't find forgiveness for sins commited,

God's forgiveness so freely given, even to one who submitted.

Please Lord give him my love each night,

Keep him in your care, always in your sight.

Thanks for the love I was allowed to feel,

Show me not love again, my final appeal.

My forever in the arms of her,

But I'll never forget what we once were.

With love so deep, I bid him farewell,

Yet in my heart, he will always dwell.


"Water Colors"

Every color, hidden shades,

Close your eyes, slowly fades.

One deep darkness, many a name,

All so different, all the same.

Open mind, yet a broken heart,

Smile sweetly, fall apart.

Hurt denial, shun the pain,

Watch them fade, water colors in the rain.

Can we laugh, do we know,

Blink the tears, hang your head low.

Broken promises, sad good-bye,

Never stop, never ask why.

Watch the tide slip away,

What are we, made of clay?

Rise each day, aim for your goal,

Deny your name, know your role.

Run to one you know who cares,

Ask for help, know it tears.

Be yourself, forgive them all,

Forgiving smile after a fall.

Hear me Lord, a plead to you,

Help me reflect your countenance true.

Smile, wipe away my tears,

Touch my heart, calm my fears.

Thankyou Lord, see me through,

Help me find, there is none like You.


"Remove From Me"

Remove from me, my heart, my soul.

Falling apart, deep abyss, lose control.

Pain so deep, bleed inside.

Stupid sentiment, foolish pride.

Rising, climbing, watch the tears.

Utter confusion, raging fears.

Refrain from telling what is wrong.

To know, my suffering will prolong.

Watch my heart, as it shatters.

When you're gone nothing matters.

Watch me cry, say good-bye.

Don't stop, don't ask why.

I don't need you, please don't stay.

You know I'm lying anyway.

I'm so scared of losing you.

Please tell that it's not true.

Weak denial, tired facade.

My body aches from paths I've trod.

I try so hard but you don't see.

How is it that you get to me?

You own my heart, but do you care?

Is it possible, can we share?

I close my eyes and slip away.

There's no reason for me to stay.

Can you stop me, I don't know.

But if you have feelings, I won't go.


“Where Do You Turn”

Jumbled confusion, some morals lost.

Apathy striken, unbelievable cost.

Stop all the pain, all the tears they cause.

Empty minded blackness, do you know the laws?

Absolute perfection, broken inside.

A weak facade, do they know you lied?

Coniving mockery, forgotten passion.

So much we don’t know, learn the lesson.

Lower yourself, it’s not wrong to cry.

A frown on your face, a will so broken you don’t try.

Where do you go, where do you turn?

Where there is no sadness, the soul doesn’t burn.

God of Abraham, Jesus Christ our Lord,

Holy Spirit like a dove, His word a sword.

Calm the chaos, take my pain.

A sweet serenity, His loss my gain.

Unspoken forgiveness, my life restored.

A warmth surrounds me, thank you Lord.

You are my savior, my God forever.

An unbreakable love, a bond none could sever.


“Is it Easy to Say Goodbye”

How easy is it to say goodbye?

You are leaving me but why?

Am I not who you want me to be?

Is there something wrong with me I don't see?

We were best of friends, or am I wrong?

I trust you with all my heart for so long.

Please don't pull away from me.

I'll have nothing left, don't you see?

I live each day for my friends.

But all these days have their ends.

I never thought it would end this way.

I really don't know what to say.

How can I explain to you how I feel?

This feeling is absolutely unreal.

I wish I could give the world to you.

But that is something I cannot do.

Is it my short comings? Is that why?

Is that why you made me cry?

I don't want to hurt you, so this is goodbye.

How it came to this, I don't know why.
