  The One

  

  By NightGoddess17, New City, NY

  The one I hate the most, Loathe the most, Fear the most, Is you. Why did I open my mouth And say what I did? Why am I such an idiot? Why can't I just learn To keep my big mouth shut And let my happiness last? I'm sorry I want to apologize a thousand times And make you hate me a...

  Loving Leaving Lies

  

  By NightGoddess17, New City, NY

  You’ve left entirely, And emptiness is all that surrounds me. I would like to think that if you were still here we’d be happy. You’d hold my hand like you always did, You’d stroke my hair like you always did, You’d smile, We’d laugh, We’d talk, But I know it’s a lie. You wer...

  The Hand

  

  By NightGoddess17, New City, NY

  As I lay in my bed, Waiting for sleep that will never come, I see an outstretched hand waiting by my head And I wonder where it is possibly from There is no body to connect it to, No face to identify it by, I’m unsure what to do, There’s nothing I can try. If I take the hand, It may...

  The Doll

  

  By NightGoddess17, New City, NY

  The clock’s tick-tocking so sped up, The only noise it makes is a dull clicking As hours pass in minutes. This is the only sound, And it echoes in the still, dark room. Here time is endless. Speeding and dragging, Yet never moving. A single candle on a small table flickers and flares, C...

  Unseen Scars of the Victim

  

  By NightGoddess17, New City, NY

  Body broken, battered, beyond repair The physical wounds do not hold a chance To the mental scars that bring me despair Mem’ries of abuse stab me like a lance Not true nor false, your reasons have no claim But why do the tears fall upon my face Useless words of assurance don’t hide pain C...

  The Worst Poem Ever Written

  

  By NightGoddess17, New City, NY

  I will not ruin the grace of a blank page With my words of forlorn or happiness. I will not create the poem at the edge of my pen, And destroy the calming numbness of the unyielding white. I will not burst into spontaneous emotion, Or let my imagination run wild for all to see. I will not pu...

  I Don't Know How to Love You

  

  By NightGoddess17, New City, NY

  You’ve made your confession, but I don’t know how to deal with that Your love is one that can’t be returned To me the meaning of love has gone flat We no longer hang out, we no longer chat Our friendship and trust now must be re-earned You’ve made your confession, but I don’t know h...

  Second Best

  

  By NightGoddess17, New City, NY

  A loud girl opens her mouth to brag About the project she finished four days in advance. I stare at my blank page and empty research, Wringing my hands in stress. I know I won’t be the best in the class, I know I’m busy with other classes, But all the reasons in the world can’t stop my n...

  The Scream

  

  By NightGoddess17, New City, NY

  I hear the scream, Rip through the corridor, And echo in the room. I hear the scream, And cries for help, To stop, To go. I hear the scream, In one quiet moment, Then people continue their day I hear the scream, And react, turning my head. No one else turns, No one else cares, I ...

  Black

  

  By NightGoddess17, New City, NY

  The dark midnight It creeps up behind you You turn, your breath ragged Just darkness A bat’s wings flap And you turn from side to side As you run to save your life Owls hoot as you pass Startling you The moon is shrouded with clouds The stars share the toga There is a faint outline of t...

  World's Tears

  

  By NightGoddess17, New City, NY

  Beautiful; glistening; full of despair The tears gently fall onto my face As he weeps, he laughs a low hearty rumble I see the promise of his bright, warm, smile But it is not his smile, I have been tricked again It was only that moment, but I cherished that promise I wish to console him, but ...

  One Night A Year

  

  By NightGoddess17, New City, NY

  They wake up from eternal rest To find the world we currently hold They dress like us, they talk like us They walk among us as equals For one night, they can be themselves Slimy, creepy, evil, bloody Some may even take your body Or your friend’s or your brother’s Who is safe? No one is ...
