Free.
By: Marie

I walked away.
It was the last time he would hurt me,
It was the last time he’d lie.
I can no longer handle the pain.
So many times I made excuses.
I hid behind a wall he built.
I kept all the anger inside.
I waited to fall at his feet.
I had to say goodbye,
Had to bury him away in my mind.
What else could I do?
I was numb in the soul,
Knowing I had to let go.
The strength to leave
I had at only this moment.
I couldn’t face him
Knowing I was about to walk away,
About to free myself.


Nothing Felt.

By: Marie


As she walks towards the darkness,
A light shines so bright
It blinds her, she stands still,
Nothing to say, covered in silence.
What possible light could shine,
In this world of darkness?
The world of her own mind
Hidden from kindness.
Tears stroll down
Once loved now forgotten.
Her head is aching, such a pain.
Blood appears in this light she sees.
Pain suddenly freed from her soul.
Her world of hatred lost
Her life is slipping away.
Say goodbye to the tears,
She is happier this way
A lifeless body.
Finally, nothing is felt.


Against the Wall.
By: Marie

As you stare at me
That look in your eyes
My back against the wall
I realize I have to leave.
I have to get out.
The pain was unbarable.
Sleep had forgotten me,
I was numb with tears
Streaming down my face,
I have lost myself,
My soul lifeless,
My heart dying.

He watches me.
His eyes burning into my mind.
He just sits and stares,
I can't help but want to run.
Boney fingers touch me softly.
He cares too much,
His smile meant so gentle,
only brings nightmares.
The phone rings, I cringe.
Should I pick up?
His voice offers so much more
then I want to give.
His "I love you"....
I want to scream!
What beauty inside me
could attract his stare?
He watches me,
His smile meant so gentle.
All I see is deep inside
the darkness of his stare.


Frank N Sense wrote:Okay this will probably sound like a weird reply for anyone who has never heard of Joseph Linser's DAWN comic series. But your poem reminds me of that storyline. Dawn is the mother of all witches...their patron and earth goddess. Both heaven and hell are drawn to her, but she lives outside their rules and dominion. However the figure of death has a love for Dawn that she is drawn to and yet cannot keep. Every time he touches her a part of both him and her dies. And for some reason your poem reminded me of that whole storyline.

But yes I loved your poem :D

more more more!


Nature Dude wrote:Marie,

Like all the other poems I've read, yours truly kicks a lot of tail, again! The depth is incredible, it gives me chills just reading it! Please, more more more! :-)

Frank, dude, you should go poke badgers with spoons or something... :wink: But that link with Dawn is pretty cool, I didn't know that before. Makes ya wonder a bit. Coolness.

Blessed Be!

Someone New

I used to find someone new,
someone to hold me, caress me,
make me slowly forget
all the pain that was caused.
That's how I met you.
To forget that he hurt me
just by saying goodbye.
If only I would have known
you could hurt me so much more.
Cut a hole so deep in my heart
it's still not healed.
I can't find someone new.
Not this time, he'll only see the scars,
the pain in my eyes.
He'd never believe I'm over you.
I'm still healing,
still hurting,
still here.

You kick ass! :D

Hope you find the right guy someday, though. One who won't judge for where you've been before...

When She’s Happy.

By: Marie A. Braatz

I hope she makes you happy
When she laughs.
That she will always know you,
What you’re thinking, how you feel.
Maybe it’s her turn
And I’ll just walk away.
I’ll say one last good bye
Hold back my tears, keep my pride.
My hands will shake, lips tremble,
But I will want you to look away.
I only ask that you’ll remember,
And someday I will forget my love.
I hope she makes you laugh
When she’s happy.

Entangled.

Entangled in a web of no hope
My mind is frozen
The spider’s bite
Is worse then the bee’s sting.
My head is throbbing
My body left numb.
I wait to slowly be devoured,
To have nothing.
Taken away from the world,
Away from false love,
Even more, false hope.
I have been set free
As my blood flows into
The glistening stream below
I feel nothing anymore,
Not ever again.

Copyright ©2004 Marie A.B.





Cherish Us Forever.

I lay awake at night and imagine
How much warmer I would be,
If only you were here laying next to me.
Holding me close to you.
I stare off during the day,
Wondering if you’re missing me,
The way I miss you.
I know I’ve been blind.
I know I’ve been foolish.
If only you’d give me that chance,
I would cherish us forever.

Eternally.

My heart boils in an endless flame,
Burning into a bottomless pit.
Leaving me black,
Scarring my soul eternally.
My heart has a hole so deep
I feel, I can reach in and pull it out.
Yet everything stays,
Scarring my soul eternally.
My body feels endlessly in pain.
Needles stabbing in the veins,
Bleeding and tearing open wounds,
Scaring my soul eternally.
Alone I stand in emptiness
Moving nowhere, I can’t.
I look ahead and try to see the sun.
It’s all scarring my soul, eternally.

Just Look in My Direction.

Just look in my direction
And please don’t turn away.
I need you to look deep,
Can you see all the love in me?
What I have to offer to you
What you need to take,
Is a soft forgiving heart
Which I am holding at stake.
Just look in my direction.
See the pain in my eyes?
I need you to look deep
Believe what you see.
More love than you could imagine
Or ever dream of having.
A soul intertwined with hope.
Just look in my direction.
Please don’t turn away.
I need you to look deep.
I need you to see all the love in me.

It’s Your Turn.

What’s the point of trying
When you are only back at start?
When everything you’ve strived for
Vanishes before your eyes.
I only wanted you to love me,
To see me, know that I exist.
Is that so hard to do?
I am only a part of you.
I attempted, I moved first.
Did you think you could leave?
Just hug me once, maybe twice,
Tell me you love me then walk away.
How did you think I would react?
Did you think that would be enough?
Well I’m still here with questions.
I need answers only you can give.
I have half a family I don’t know.
Is that really enough to give me?
I did my part I found you.
Now it’s your turn, come find me.

Copyright ©2004 Marie A.B.
* this one was about my father. I never really did get any answers before he left this world, but maybe I wasn't suppose to. Hell I never even got to really know who he was.*



Do You?

Do you have the need?
To crawl inside my head.
To see and understand
What I sometimes feel?
Go ahead, take a peak.
Try to pry.
All these words
Have no place inside you.
They live inside my fears
Falling with bitter tears.
They sing with my happiness
And glow through my smile.
Do you feel the need
To dig into my soul?
To see what I have to say
And never let it go?

Copyright ©2004 Marie A.B.


Only Wanted to Believe.

You once said you loved me, faithfully.
You told me it would be better,
That the way you were was gone.
You said you loved me, no one else.
I guess those were just words,
Because I’m laying here all alone,
Haunted by your face.
Your voice echoes through my head.
I forgot how to sleep.
You once said you would never hurt me.
I’d be happy just wait and see.
You told me we would have it all.
I believed in you, I was naive.
I am so cold now,
Missing your embrace, your warmth.
Wishing your words would have been true.
Knowing all too well the lies.
You see all the things you said,
I knew you never meant them.
I only wanted to believe.
Love, I wanted it to conquer.
But I am laying here alone
Haunted by your face.
Your voice echoing through my head
I forgot how to sleep, without you.

Tighten the Chains.

I like the way you rip through me
Uninvited, unannounced just there.
It makes me shiver uncontrollably
The way you torture my mind.
Freedom is only a word, never spoken.
You have me locked up tight.
I couldn’t brake free
Even if I wanted to or tried.
You rob my sleep, my thoughts.
You stole my belief that love,
True love really does exist.
That’s okay now, I’m used to my silence.
It calms me you know,
To know that you can’t trust anyone.
Not with your heart, or even your soul.
So keep me here, tighten the chains.
I like the darkness here, tighten the chains
I couldn’t possibly be hurt anymore then this.

You’ll Never Know.

You’ll never know my pain.
How some days it rises,
All I can do is scream,
Eventually I can’t even do that.
You’ll never know the tears I cried.
How my eyes are now dry,
Burning red, bloodshot..
Closing them is the only relief.
You’ll never understand me.
Why I can’t hate you.
Though I hate your every being,
And you sicken me.
You’ll never know how I don’t sleep,
Not in the last six months.
I always wake alone,
Seeing only your face.

Sweet Goodbyes.

The world is changing,
I can see it in your eye.
And I know your heart is changing
When you whisper your sweet goodbye.
Don’t leave me standing all alone,
I want it to always be,
Me with you,
And you with me.
You try to love,
And it feels so strong.
Then somehow it all goes wrong.
So I am left here
Holding my shattered heart.
The world is changing,
I can see it in your eye.
And I know your heart is changing
When you say your sweet goodbye.


Sanity Gone.

This bright light above me
Blinds me as I stare into it.
Where did my sanity go that day?
Did you take it in that moment
When you said goodbye with my back
Slamming into the cold hard wall?
Tears were streaming
Down my numb face.
I wanted so bad to hurt you.
Rip out every fiber of your heart,
Kick it around, stand on it.
I wanted to watch you watch,
As it slowly stopped beating, became dead.
Dead like my soul, my heart.
I want you to feel this empty
To feel this trapped.
I want you to be haunted by my face.
Every day, every night never ending.
I want you to be gone like my sanity
The day she lay in our bed.



Street Lights.

Lost in a daze, walking aimlessly.
Street lights shining, rain falling
Hiding my tears of loneliness.
Confusion runs through my mind.
Question leading me to no answers.
A car passes, honks,
Blankly I raise my head, wave.
Keep walking turn left.
Street sign reads “ Hollow”.
Keep walking with my head hung low.
Where will my feet lead me?
Do I care? Probably not.
“ Hollow” I laugh a little.
Strange I took that road.
Footsteps coming closer.
A face I’ve never seen,
Will probably never see again.
His head hung low as well.
Funny looking. Did I look like that?
He raises his head, eyes connecting.
Blushing I turn away.
Could he have noticed my eyes?
Red burning from tears falling.
I hoped not, he probably saw.

Burn Through Me.


Burn through my soul
Make it sting and bleed.
Tears may line down my face
But your tingle is all I need.
Tear open that scared tissue.
Spit deep inside the seam
Take my heart apart
Make love what it seems.
I try to tell you my ways,
Try to give me to you
All you do is turn away from me
Making my body ice blue.
Blacken my lungs,
As I inhale you deeply.
Exhaling slowly to let it go
Yet I still feel you seeping.
My eyes become red
From sitting in the dark too long,
From not seeing your face for days
Now you’ve walked away, you’re gone

For One Night.
Marie B.

Please don't reach for my hand,
Don't say I'm so beautiful.
It's only for tonight I know,
but I don't want to let you go.
My heart's been torn before,
leaving me lost and sore.
So just for tonight let me be.
Let me think you're in love with me.
In the morning I will leave.
I will walk away hoping you wake.
You'll stop me and whisper sweetly,
"This was no mistake."
But I know I will walk away.
It'll be the last time you hold me,
And after I am gone,
My tears will run free.
In love for one night.
Lying in you arms,
falling for your eyes,
dying for your charms.



I Hate Him.


I hate him!
Him and his arrogance.
I wish I had the strength
then I do now.
I would have manipulated him.
Instead, I am here,
haunted by his face.
In my dreams, in the early morning,
during the day, I see him a foot away.
I hate him!
The way his smile comes,
and slaps me in the face.
Laughing he walks away.
How do I wash this away,
this hate I carry around,
let it build up inside?
I hate him!
For her laying in our bed
Where I once laid,
She laid there naked.
I could have killed them.
If only he wasn’t stronger,
If only there weren’t so many walls.
I hate him!
Not only for the bruises
on my gentle breakable body
But on my heart and soul.
The manipulation,
The lies I fell for.
When I should have seen through
I should have known.

Okay, this one is really old. I wrote it my freshman year of highschool. My composition (english if you didn't know) wanted us to pick a color and write a poem about it. So this is what I cam up with.

Marie


Grey.

Grey is the day
You walk alone,
Unwanted, tears
Streaming down your face.
It’s the bitter taste
As you realize
Pain has entered
Within your soul.
Grey has a way of seeing
What should be hidden.
Yet, leaving the unknown,
Unknown.
Grey is fragile,
Like a child dying
Of a hunger to learn,
to love, to dream.
It’s the world
In which we live,
Leaving some alone, unwanted,
Tears streaming against the wind.

I am In-

I am in love
With the way you laugh.
That sort of giggle,
Letting me know…
I am infatuated
By the vast blue
Of your eyes, starring
Into mine, with…
I am in heaven
As your lips press
So gently, so soft.
Gliding on…
I am instantly
Numb when your fingers
Brush smoothly caressing
Every inch of me, as if…
I am in lust
With the idea of being
Awaken, aroused,
While you…
I am in the clouds
As you sweep me away.
I can’t breathe,
You have taken me...

I Will Never.

I will never look at the sky
to see the things I once saw.
Without your arms around me
the stars don't seem so bright.
I will never sleep the same.
Your face will awaken me
at least a few times a night.
All I will see is darkness when I wake.
I will never feel warmth
the way it felt with you here.
Alone I lay knowing
somehow coldness will slip in.
I will never love this strong,
the way I still love you.
Not words nor emotions
could ever compare at all.
I will never kiss the same,
for they will not be your lips.
And only your lips linger
so sweetly on mine.
I will never touch the same way.
My fingers carress your face
while I hold it in my palms,
starring forever into your eyes.
I will never be the person
I once was again,
For I loved you so much
I don't know who I am without you.
I will never reveal the fear
that wandered through my head
when I last heard your voice
Saying goodbye, never to be heard again.
There are so many things I will never do.
Without you, there seems to be
no reason for me to linger here
in an eternity of emptiness.

This one I wrote when I was a freshmen in High school about my best friend. She was going through some stuff and so was I.




Sarah

If I could tell her
she means the world to me,
How do I put it into words?
She is my best friend.

I cry when I see her tears.
The pain shows in her face
when she looks at me,
and I know she hates this place.

Struggling through love,
we have eachother to hold.
We're always there for eachother.
She is my best friend.

Noone could ever take her place.
Her name is intertwined
deep into my heart.
I feel our souls are combined.

If I could tell her
she means the world to me,
I would simply say,
"Our friendship was meant to be!"

Mama
Mama please, wipe away the tears.
It will only hurt for what seems a moment.
Remember the happiness from the years,
when you had him to hold on to.
Mama please, don't sigh as though
your breath has vanished with his.
For the air is still your foe,
waiting to be inhaled once more.
Mama please, don't think he is gone.
I know he loved you too much to leave
you completely, he knew it would be wrong.
He's still here holding you close.
Mama please, let his spirit make you smile.
It is the only way he knows how to touch you,
if even for a little while,
it was one more thing he loved you for.
Mama please, laugh at a memory, do not cry.
For he is watching you close.
He would wipe the tears away, make them dry,
If he knew how, I know he would.

This one was for my mom. (DUH) My step dad past away in July and this was the only man that had ever made her complete. I had no other way of showing her I understood her pain.

What I Wanted (was nothing)

If I had said I love you,
hadn't walked out the door,
Would you still be holding me
my head upon your chest?
If I had let you win
would it have been any better?
Could you have stayed
Maybe loved me back?
If I hung my head
pretended to need you,
it wouldn't have changed.
I would have only grown to hate you.
The person you wanted me to be
I am not, could never be.
If I ever said I love you,
if I let you in, or hung my head,
It would have all been fake.
To get what I wanted,
And I wanted nothing from you.

Okay, if you have responded to these before you don't need to do it again. I am just lazy, and didn't want to move all the quotes. . . moving all these was enough eye work for me today. LOL.

Your Smile.

By: Marie A. B.

Rain has fallen upon my face
Washing away my tears.
I hear your voice inside my head,
It seems to release all my fears.
I walk through this puddle
of rain under my feet,
And I stare at nothing.
Another cold lonely night.
Why is love so hard to find
When I see it all in your eyes.
The rest of the world doesn’t matter,
It’s all filed with lies.
You hold the key to my happiness
The power to my strength.
The glow in your smile
Is all I need.
Can I hold your hand?
Touch your face, kiss your lips?
Can I inhale your strength?
Feel it cover my soul.
Look into my eyes.
Do you feel my affection?
The way your smile
Makes me feel?
