*gasp* People like my poetry. Well, I thought I might as well join in the bandwaggon and post my own poetry thread. xD Well, here's one. :3 This has to be the longest one I have written.
Forever By Vally
I push, I pull, I scream, I shake. The Earth, it wakes, My Time, it stops.
Forever, am I bound to this night; The night that all my pain has created a rift; A rift that tears me apart?
I pushed, I pulled, I screamed to stay awake. The Earth, I shook me, Screaming, "Stay awake! Stay Awake!"
I could've sworn it was his voice; Gruff and full of tied up emotions, Sweet and musical, All at once.
But I pushed, and I pulled, I screamed for you to come, But the Earth became still and let me go, Leaving me to say, "I'm awake, I'm awake."
A jolt, a warmth, I never would've believed it. Yet here I am, Living proof, That forever doesn't exist.
The pushing, the pulling, The screaming, The Earth.
You stare at me like I'm crazy, Yet all I can do, Is smile and say,
"I'm who I am, No harm in that. I'm ditzy, I'm stupid, I'll never be in love."
And yet you pulled me, and pushed me, Trying to tell me, Without screaming, Without the Earth shaking,
"I love you, I love, Don't ever leave my side."
But I couldn't hear you, My heart in pieces, My mind broken. And I never knew, That you loved me.
I never knew that all the Pushing and pulling, All the screaming and shaking, All the Earth and all the music, Was you saying you loved me, You loved me.
And yet forever together was a lie to us both, And the saying, "It is better to have loved and lost, Then to have never loved," Was a broken truth. And we would never know, until we were apart...
That you loved me, And I loved you, And our love was not to be forever requited. It was to forever break our hearts.
Story Behind This Poem :
Well, I liked this guy and he liked me, but we never knew, and I broke my heart that the whole time, I was oblivious to his flirting, and I probably hurt him more than it hurt me to have never known. And now we don't go to the same school. So I thought I'd write about it... I hope you guys liked it! :3
Hey! I have GREAT-ish news. I'm writing a short story that follows this poem.

Oh, Vally-sama. :c I don't care if that poem wasted five minutes of my life; it's just sad. Don't you just hate the whole "Oblivious-to-flirting-and-whatnot" thing? I do. Hai, please, write more. I really like your poems. <333

Yeah, we all have those moments. And I advise you not to put them to waste.
<3 Thank you, Night. And yes, I hate that whole thing. I felt like I was about to die, because then I understood why he helped me with a problem I was having trouble with. And why he had been being so nice to me, and trying to show-off... I will!

There's a rift between us, I know it's there... The tugging of the demons, The screaming of the spirits.
And yet all you do is smirk at me and say, "C'mon, Jen. Is that all you got?" And all I do is get stressed, Get angry.
And somehow, You're friends with the one who calm me down.
I don't think you know it, But the rift is there, I doubt you can feel the scars they've left, Even after we've only known each other for three months...
I know they're there.
And so does he; My angel, My guardian from the Heavens. He smiles and says, "He's just joking; I mean, who would say that to you?"
I don't know if you know this, And I doubt this true, But there's a conflict between me and you. A fire, never doused, not even by him. And yet all you do is pour oil into it, Making it flare.
And yet he helps me; He pours water onto the flare, And though you're his friend, He wants you to stop, Because when you're mean to me, There's a conflict there.
And so listen me out, I don't know if it's true, But I think he likes me, And so do you.
But I can't do anything about it, He's my friend, You're my rival. I love him, I don't hate you, But that fire burn twice as high, When you're not here.
My feelings are confused, My mind is fed up. Do you love me, Or do you hate me. And if he loves me, Will you hate him?
I'm so confused. Who will be the first to take my hand, And show me the path To your true feelings?
This is about how the guy that's in my gym class and my best friend both have this fire, one between me and the gym class kid,a nd then my friend that 'fly' to both sides. And they make life so unbearably confusing!
CRUD! THIS ONE IS LONG, TOO!

Edgar Allen Poe is such a fantastic poet; are you serious? Me? *laughs nervously* I'm not that good... am I? I mean, I write long, grueling, emotional poems. But... They make me feel better. :D I have a whole notebook with poems written from feelings in 'em; it really helps. I know it will help.
