Tears Of Glass

Innocense. R.I.P

Rivers flowing
brain exploding
emotions dying
dead here lying
heart torn
oh! how we mourn
children screaming in the night
a strangers deadly plight
forever must we fight
darkness, shadows
bodies dumped in the meadows
crows picking away
at where i lay
rotten, decaying, dead
my head full of lead
emptying eyes staring
faces uncaring

Author's note : Well i never did get to finish this poem, i quite like it have never written one like this before.

Not To Be Understood

tied to a tree
struggling for life
angry faces surrounding
men holding torches
smells like gasoline
closer and closer and closer
need air, black smoke bilowing
flames getting closer
screaming for life
tears streaking down
soot covered face
"leave me be"
throw the torches
flames explode,
igniting hair,
engulfing cotton clothes
no longer do tears
fall freely, all that is
heard is the soft crys
of agony escaping lips.
Look up, into the eyes,
of madness. Never Understood
Not to be Understood
Smells of burning flesh
Crys have since stopped
Begin to walk away
realise thr hurt
that has been caused.
Mistake. Understanding
comes into their eyes
"Never Understood, please
forgive me?"
Body slumped
base of tree
"Cover! Cover!"
can't bear what
has been done.
Cannot undo
Pain in heart
Ignorance in head.
Let it be
'Not To Be Understood.'

Author's Note : I also like this poem a lot. My councellors said that it's a very violent poem but it's just the way i feel. It was written on the 4/8/98.

Marina

Let me tell you a story....

'Once a girl came to her
depressed and hollow inside
"Want to help her,
how do i protect her?"
started talking
friendship devolped
trust was unbreakable
holidays came,
the girl was lost
lost within herself
holidays finished
breathe a sigh of relief
return to normality
some stabilty is founded
Why? How? When? ME!
"Can't answer those questions."
struggle on
find the answers to
unasked questions

suicide hinted at
understanding seen
happiness sparked in
the girls eye's
time moving on
heart healing
tears shead
words exchanged
how to say goodbye?
Don't want to say it

Author's Note : This poem is written for one of my councellors; Marina. She means the world to me and has helped me thru many hard times. I've seen her for over 2 years now. If i hadn't started seeing her i wouldn't be here now. When i went to her i was on the verge of suicide, she helped me thru.
How do i thank her. When i asked her what she would like for a present, she said "Write me a poem" and this is what i came up with. I don't know if she'll like it but yeah....after this year we wont have much more contact as i'll be out of school that's why the poem ends "Don't want to say it"
How do you say "Goodbye" to someone that means so much to you?
