The woods

I lay still
Hope, faith, love...
Everything is gone
I whisper in the dark
Why me?
What did I do to deserve this?
The words left me lifeless...

Some say life`s a game
Then I guess I did`nt know how to play
You may think it`s selfish
Maby it is...
But you don`t know the pain
After all
It was you who left me lifeless...

My wrists is laughing
Life`s draining
Blood`s spilling
In thickening streams on the floor
My eyes`s startin` to fade
Soon I`ll leave this place lifeless...

But suddenly
A change of mind
I try to turn
But it`s to late
My arms to weak
And tears burn my eyes
As the last drop leaves me lifeless...

All the tears I`ve cried
Useless...
And all the feelings I`ve felt
Useless...
And all the love I`ve shed
Useless...
And all the hope I had
Useless...
And every wish I`ve ever wished
Useless...

Everything is useless...
Now that all I am
And all I ever will be is
Lifeless...

hi, welcome to Passions...this one is an emotional and well written first impression...nice work, nice to have you here.
take care, jm

 Now for me some words come easy
But I know that they don't mean that much
Compared with the things that are said when lovers touch
You never knew what I loved in you
I don't know what you loved in me
Maybe the picture of somebody you were hoping I might be

Welcome indeed!!  This one nearly slipped by me as they sometimes do!!  Lovely, feeling, well written first impression here.  Hoping to see more soon.  
Welcome to the passions family  

 May the world hug you today,
With it's warmth and love.
I pray it whispers a joyful tune in your heart,
That tell you there is a friend sitting in another corner of the world,
Wishing you well and
wishing you love......

well done very deep poem

very dark emotional

"As the life of me
streamed back to the earth
from my wounds
from my stigmata
I sighed and my voice
spoke to no one
telling them my truth
in this act
"I am free"
And a great warmth
overcame me
and i was truely at peace
with control of destiny
for eternity
So no border could hold me
and freedom was finally mine"

  Did you write the Book of Love
And do you have faith in God above
If the Bible tells you so
Do you believe in rock 'n roll
Can music save your mortal soul
And can you teach me how to dance real slow
