Poem: Wish Upon A Star
 
Wish for forgiveness
Look up at the sky and think of me
Staring into the dark dreaming of you
Curse the clouds for masking your hope
Mockingly the moon stares down on you
A thousand wishes a night seems insignificant

A dark emptiness looms over you
Empty skies is all you get tonight
No more lights sparkling back at you
Try not to despair for tomorrow comes another night

Fall to your knees and scream your anger at nothing
Another starless sky is in front of you
One is all you need to make it
All you need to make your amends
So maybe one day you will get your wish

Running outside after midnight
Hoping the sky will be lit for you this time
Twinkling white chances are shining back at you
Cry your wish at the havens
Praying to unknown gods for your wish to come true

Hours later you make it back to your bed
Grateful for a starry night
Smiling bigger than ever you lay waiting
Waiting for that day all the wishing pays off

First I'd like to say that all my writing is fictional.
So please take that in consideration. And I'd love to know what you think!




Wake up in a different bed every day
There's no place that feels like home
But I'm not scared
Because I'll never fly if I won't spread my wings

Innocence a word long lost
Beaten out of me and abused
But I'm not sad
Because even little girls must grow

So many razors have marked my flesh
Wicked scars telling tales of self-regret
But I'm not hurt
Because even scars will heal with time

Many nights I've been left alone
Everybody dumping me like a broken doll
But I'm not lonely
Because I have you

This poem is interesting. It shows a lot of feelings to it. Even though you said it was fiction; it just felt so real. Good job and keep up the good work. ;)

Thank you so much!
Do you write yourself? :)

Dottie Mae Evans 11-12-2009 05:01 AM

Yes I do, Moonfall. I posted one of my poems someone around here. :) The title of the poem is Treasured Memories.

Late Night Terrors

After the kiss goodnight my worries peak
For I know you won't be resting tonight
You look at me one last time before exhaustion sets in
I lay awake for hours waiting on your demons to show
A small tremor runs through your body
And I know it has begun
With your hand in mine I try to be by your side
But your are not even here at all
I cover my ears when you start screaming
Shouting for your terrors to let you be
Not even the autumn rain can drown out your fear
Holding you tight I try to take the pain from you
But how can I fight what I can not see?
After they finally leave you, you wake in my arms
The look in your eyes is haunted
Clenching you close to me we fall asleep shivering
You are safe
At least for tonight
