Poem...Hollow

[Aubry The Odd O.o]

Hollow,
A mere shell,
that,
my dear,
is what I have become,
Emotions long lost,
banished,
Soul long left,
forgotten,
A tarneshed reputation,
keeps me from my one goal,
Redemption

[actsonimpulse]

HOLY COW I loved it. Encore! I have a bunch my friend wrote... You can email/AIM her at [e-mail]... She's really cool, a lot like me in fact, and I am EXTREMELY COOL. No j/k i'm really not THAT conceited. But anyway, i'm gonna post her poems and give me and her feedback!

[actsonimpulse]

I'm sick of hiding my emotions,
You think I'm always happy.
Well, life doesn't work that way,
Its not all that easy.

You feel insecure, depressed, intimidated, lonely, and misunderstood,
But you're just too stubborn to admit it,
People make life too complicated,
And I'm tired of it, I really wish they'd quit.

I'm afraid to look in the mirror,
I might not like what I see,
Make up doesn't help,
Because underneath... Its still me.

We wish that there was someone,
Someone to explain it all,
Someone to take away the pain,
Someone to catch us before we fall.

I try so hard to make it easy,
But only make it harder,
I need someone to help me try,
Or Ill just fall back farther.

We're falling farther into darkness,
No happiness to be found,
I'm starting to get really scared,
I can't find solid ground.

Written with a pen
sealed with a kiss
if you're my friend
please answer
me this
are we friends
or are we not
you told me once
but I forgot
so tell me now
and tell me true
so I can say
I'm here for you
and if I die before you do
I'll go to heaven and wait for you
I'll give the angels back their
wings
and risk the loss
of everything
of all the friends
I've ever met
you're the one
I won't forget
so listen to
this poem
and remember
you're my best friend
for always
and for ever

1. I can't get you off my mind,
Guys like you are so hard to find.
2. The things you say are genuinely sweet,
You could easily sweep a girl off her feet.
3. I've made mistakes and gone for ONLY looks,
But they were all jerks and crooks.
4. You've got me dreamin all the time,
About me seeing you as mine.
5. Someone like you, I'm glad I've found,
Its nice to know guys like you are around.
6. Being with you is a dream I never want to end,
But I want it to happen not just remain pretend.
7. You not being here is torture to me,
I'm in your grasp only you can set me free.
8. I can hear the kindness in your voice,
If I had to choose you'd be my choice.
9. I can't get you off my mind,
Guys like you are so hard to find.

The day goes fast,
I have something to look forward to.
Because when I sleep,
All I see is you.

All my friends say I'm crazy,
But I disagree.
They say I should leave it alone,
But what fun would that be?

I'm having trouble finding a rhyme,
You're beginning to control my thoughts.
I'm trying really hard to focus,
But my heads tied all in knots.

Maybe putting it all down on paper,
Will reconfigure my mind.
But it's becoming such a tedious task,
When you're all I can find.

I feel a little strange because
I can't figure out if you feel the same.
My head's been spinning everyday,
It's this over eager heart that you can blame.

My deepest feelings,
I confide in you.
You may not believe me,
But I know it's true.

[actsonimpulse]

I'm waiting by the phone,
Staring out the window,
Feeling all alone.
I'm watching the rain fall,
Glancing back at the clock,
Still waiting for your call...
I can't take anymore.
I drag myself away,
How long I'm gone I'm not sure.
But you still haven't called me,
And I don't think you will.
My heart cries out in agony,
As the thunder fills the air.
I wish myself back with you,
And all those memories we share.
To my surprise the phone rings....
"Hello?" You're really there!

[actsonimpulse]

Why does it always hurt this much?
All this falling in love and such?
It doesn't seem as fair as they say.
But I suppose somebody's gotta pay.

Those three words mean almost nothing.
But when they're not said, you feel something,
That burns inside so much, so bad,
That you always end up sad or mad.

Ever wondered what you did to deserve this?
Getting stuck in this lifeless, endless, black abyss?
I couldn't tell you, I doubt you could tell me,
So why do we search for something we can't see?

I want to empty myself from emotion and feeling,
I need someone, someone to begin the healing.
I was so confident, so completely sure,
That only “no” could be the cure.

I thank the soul that sold me out,
That easily replied without a doubt.
For the next and last time you see,
You'll be the one asking me.

[actsonimpulse]

Do you ever wonder what will become of this place?
War and greed? Its like a wild goose chase.
Neither of it gets us far, maybe a few circles is all.
The foundation we've created is most likely to fall.
We say we are strong and that we are proud,
But could we say that to the faces of a homeless hungry crowd?
“Peace” is a thing to be earned not a wish to be granted.
But its never to be accomplished unless the seed is planted.
Why don't you open your eyes and start to look?
Maybe then you’ll realize we’re not living in a fantasy book.
We're destroying ourselves and the world around us,
Don't complain, do. The only thing happening is fuss.
You say peace, but only make things worse,
Then people complain, cry, and curse.
To achieve is to try, Don't get frustrated, don't cry.
Someone dreamed and created a way to touch the sky.
Maybe if we stop and think before we say “FIGHT!”
Just maybe then we could get it right.
We're taking so much of this world for granted,
Sucked it dry, used it to our advantage.
Be careful what you promise, they're not meant to be broken.
Take this as advice, treat the world as a precious token.
We are the most harmful beings on this planet, I know.
With our working minds and weapons to show.
Just start to think before your actions.
Greed and lust are but simple attractions.

01)It hurts to think of you,
And everything I wanted you to see.
You can’t make up those thirteen years,
That are now a distant, faded memory.
02)I don’t think you’ll ever understand,
How much I need you and love you.
I wanted you to see me make those little
mistakes,
And watch me grow up too.
03)I feel so empty inside,
When I’m waiting by the phone.
I’ll sit on the couch for hours,
Listening to the dial tone.
04)Did you ever love me?
Do you know what I feel right now?
Do you care that I’m writing this?
I want to make you understand somehow.
05)You only call when you WANT to,
And that should be every day.
But it’s only once a month,
I guess you don’t have much to say.
06)But I don’t care about talking,
I just want you to know.
I’ll love you no matter what you do,
I’ll love you no matter where you go.
07)I cry every time I watch that video,
When you were helping me walk.
The one where you were holding me,
And I was trying to talk.
08)Well, I need you to help me now,
I can’t figure everything out.
I want to know who I’m more like,
Instead of guessing with doubt.
09)I want the man that was here so long ago,
The one with the welcoming, caring face.
I want him here to tell me I’ll be okay,
But he left without a trace.
10)I want to know what matters most,
Seeing me graduate and make a speech?
Or is it the person lying next to you,
On your bed, within arm’s reach?
11)I’ve cried so many times,
I don’t think there’s anything left to spare.
But whenever you are on my mind,
I always cry because I care.
12)I remember writing you a letter,
I’ve told you all this once before.
You called right after you read it,
But I don’t think you care anymore.
13)When I asked you to send me clothes,
You said it’s what you were supposed to do.
You didn’t send it just to do something nice,
You said that you felt obligated to.
14)I don’t care about a few shirts and jeans,
I was looking for a certain reply.
To find out your actual reason,
Guilt was the only thing that made you comply.
15)I dreamed about something impossible,
As I closed my eyes to rest.
You were there to help me and watch me
change,
Then I wake from the dying hope on my chest.
16)No one here has treated me wrong,
They’re who I love to be around.
But I never had those moments when I needed
comfort,
And you were what I found.
17)All I want is for everyone to be happy,
And you to show you really care.
Actions speak louder than words,
That’s why I wanted you there.
17)This poem is a product,
Of my love for you.
I think about you every day,
I only wish that
You would too.
