The Lonely Building knock knock knock Someone’s at the door The door of a lonely almost deserted building In it only lies some form of a being That use to be called a person Once many people lived here Often coming by and stopping To talk and to ask for advice Then slowly… Something felt different As if the building itself had shifted Into something not so welcoming anymore Soon Joy decided to pack up and leave Not feeling at home in the building anymore With her she took her children Excitement and Peace Knock Knock Knock She only left me with Hate Hate was always cold towards me Causing me to be rude To all the guests that would be brave enough To stop by this lovely building which had turn into a quite unnoticeable structure Hate had filled me with falsehoods Telling me lies about other of my guests To it got to the point I would hardly let them visit me After hate saw she had damaged me to her fullest ability She packed up and left KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK A year had passed While the building Seemed a lonely fortress Nothing more than a steel structure that time had forgotten Then suddenly Hope came to visit me hearing of my devastation She was the most beautiful Angel my eyes had ever had the pleasure of looking upon I would get lost looking into her dark black almond eyes Finding all the answers I had ever wanted answered in her soul I would melt when her dark skin would brush against mine And her honey-soft voice whispered in my ear Her imperfections made her only more perfect in my mind The unbelievable love she could possess for a person Was beyond my comprehension And oh how my heart ached to have her to love me But I tried to hold on too hard It’s like holding sand… If you hold it with open hands than none of it spills But when you try to close your hand around it to not let go It slips out of your hand till nothing is left. Soon the cousin decided to leave me Like all the others did For she was starting a new and exciting life Which I had to forfeit my emotions for BOOM BOOM BOOM When she left…there was nothing left for me I just trudged around my building beating myself up For getting too involved For trying to open up to something that couldn’t work Now empty bottles surround my feet Where I have tried to drink away my memories Until it’s to the point that I can’t drink another drop But the memories still stay Haunting me everywhere I go Not releasing me from the hellish prison Not letting me tear down my steel fort Each day passes slowly by And I endure this burden more and more No one is allowed to enter my castle For I do not want to hear their constant I’m sorry And their Don’t worry all will get better soon I do not want their pity I deserve to not deserve these friends anymore Because I have pushed them all away Wanting to be left to mourn in my own self-pity I hear not of many kinds word spoken to me anymore No more encouragement from the ones I wish to hear it from Having to constantly help others with their problems When I can’t even repair my own OPEN THE DOOR!! I hear people outside Wanting to come in and be sheltered by my care for them But this Knight no longer rides his white stallion This Knight has forgotten what it feels like to care and be cared for I let the sword of which I would defend them with be stolen from me Never again will this building ever truly be full again For Hope will never return to me With here will she never again bring Joy and Peace I must bare the burden of being forever lost Having to suffer from the darkness In this building I call my heart I am 14 and new here but I have tried writing poetry for a couple of years...I have many archives of my works and if you like this one tell me and I'll post some more.

"With here will she never again bring Joy and Peace I must bare the burden of being forever lost Having to suffer from the darkness In this building I call my heart"   (big hugggssssss) You have come to the right place, sweet friend, for here we all share each others tears and sorrow and together with the power of poetic friendship we reach out to one another! This is a powerful debut, sweet friend, I love it, you write so wonderfully at such a young age, you have a true gift!!! Welcome to Passions, sweet friend, may you be inspired by all of us here as we will all be inspired by your lovely words! I can't wait to read more of your lovely words, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Goldhawk, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |
