guilt...
over what?
i do not know
but you've carried it for years
hiding away your bitter tears
face held up to the pouring rain
so nobody sees the pain
you lock away and refuse to show
i ask only that i may hold
you in your time of need
because unlike gold
people lock away and bury in greed
you cant bury your pain
and you cant deal with the todays
until you accept the yesterdays
"please dont lock yourself away!!"
"please, just listen to what i have to say!!"
i love you
but you tell me i can't
but no longer can i waste my breath
no longer can i rant
you're too stubborn
you're not going to hear me

words in the silence words in the silencewords in the silence by ~laurabeth0
By Laura Beth Hallam
it seems so easy today
to scream at the wind
but i bite my tongue
and i hold it in
'cause this pain inside
nobody hears
just like they don't see
these silent tears
he was the black cat
crossing my path
a poison so potent
i'm still struggling from the aftermath
barely able to get up from off the ground
but maybe he'll listen
just maybe he'll learn
and maybe my dreams
will leave me alone
tonight

thank you, good soldier thank you, good soldierthank you, good soldier by ~laurabeth0
a poem by Laura Beth Hallam
you fight, you sacrifice
enduring such strife
your family is waiting
fearing for your life
all to save the nation
of the red, white, and blue
thank you good soldier
for all that you do
your friends fall in battle
but it's "no man left behind"
you carry them through the crossfire
the wreckage, and the bloodlust
praying for a miracle
because it's "in god we trust"
a bomb explodes
but you stand fast
saving those injured
in the scary,deadly blast
you get an award
but it's all in a day's work
be it gun' bomb, or sword
you'll defend this land
from sea to shining se

love is a drug love is a druglove is a drug by ~laurabeth0
a poem by Laura Beth Hallam
love is a drug
heartbreak is withdrawl
when your bitten by the bug
you'll answer the call
you will fall
but your heart will soar
you may build a wall
but he builds a door
when he thwarts your plan
to protect yourself from harm
he's got you thinking
maybe you can
be safe inside his arms
but heartbreak is painful
oh, we hate it all!
love is a drug
heartbreak is withdrawl

A Note To InnocenceMaybe I don't look scaredA Note To Innocence by ~Silvergoldbubbles
maybe I look strong
and cool and composed
I seem like I couldn't care
you never talk to me
you just walk along
and when I ask you
why?
you brush me away
I stare at the back of your head
because you never
face me
I lower my eyes
even though
there's no one to
look at me
you just say
you look so happy
with a debonair sweep
of your hand
your languid movements
cavalier
come hang with us!
you say to someone else
I'm sad inside but I never tell you
because that's just
not what
I do
my head hurts when
I'm around you
and I tell myself to frown
though I smile
at your antics
there's something wrong here,
I tell myself
I
