Good Luck heart

[Balviet123]

Fading…fading further…

I try to remember; I try to understand.

But when I try so hard, it makes life all

that much more

difficult.

Language, I remember.

I remember names.

Remember faces.

But not events.

Not just

Events. Things I should remember.

Things people tell me.

I have to keep checking my phone for dates and times.

Continuously for times.

It's humiliating. Humiliating to have to tell someone, and yet no one.

I'm scared. Very scared.

I have such a large chance of losing everything.

My memories are so close and yet

so far. It's painful.

They're slowly…slowly but surely…

Fading away.


-This is a poem by me, Balviet123, describing the deterioration of precious memories as life goes on, namely as you lose everything you love to memory problems such as Alzheimer's, or the coming of old age.

Please enjoy!

Sweet Rapture Lies

Don't need you understand,
Don't need to tell the truth.
Now, I will remember what you said,
I will remember what you've done.
Falling in such insecure lies,
Yet killing within words that strikes.
A dream, no more, than real feelings gone,
All of my darkness, turns to dust.
The lies you've told me,
I will remember you have no light.
The same secret pathway, the same honesty.
You just won't let me understand.

Stereopsis

I pulled a, ‘Jack Kerouac’, and took a trip out west;
Empty it out, I say, empty it out.
Where we all canonize the Dharma Bums, an’ build a pyre for the rest.
Empty it out, I say, empty it out.
“It’s not a drug-based trance, that’s got me on lockdown.
This is just a mind we should all grow.”

Put these words, into a glass of wine, and let them float around.
Empty it out, I say, empty it out.
I’m pulling teeth, while I plug into a set of minds.
Empty it out, I say, empty it out.
The alcohol’s hit, but the sense— is gone.
They call my state a dream.

Abducted by Cannabis and bad-intentions,
Empty it out, I say, empty it out.
Probed by nicotine-induced infatuation.
Empty it out, I say, empty it out.
Now comes, my turn, my place— in a nutshell.
It’s been noted as a, lie.

Bebop through the mountain of racism,
Empty it out, I say, empty it out.
Tension grows more and more, taut as time continues.
Empty it out, I say, empty it out.
I say again, your rationality has lost its, center

When you’re finished with yourself, review the scroll.
Empty it out, I say, empty it out.
The typewriter you’re using is much like time;
Empty it out, I say, empty it out.
It refuses your requested editorials.

The Growing of your seed you’ve planted,
Means your Dreams are all which you’ve received.
So Lie in order to make you feel that you’ve become—
Centered in a position of reality,
And edit anything that rebukes your plan of perfection.

Empty it out, I say, empty it out.
The melting pot is Full—

A deep black pool
Clear as crystal
Looked up at stars
And saw nothing.

How far from home
Was this deep pool,
And so alone;
Its life weeping.

Tickle its edge
Does something strange.
Its vision blurs
And it cries out:

"What new torture
Hath beset me,
To know of loss
With nothing had."

Wept, did the pool,
'Till it was dry,
Though from its floor
Did creatures fly.

On Child Loss (From a mother's perspective.)

I just can't understand,
How someone I love so dearly,
Can be so far from my hands.

My days are filled with thoughts of you,
And it's excrutiating that there is nothing I can do.

I feel like I failed you, and my body failed me,
Especially when I hear "It just wasn't meant to be."

The tears just continue falling,
and my mind keeps on calling;
"Why?!"

It's so hard to believe
That you had to leave.

You never got to live,
And sometimes I don't want to,
But I hold on, hoping that some day I'll meet you.

I hope only that you have someone to hold you
To be there to console you.
And to let you know just how much I love you.

Some day I hope to wrap you in my arms,
To be able to keep you warm,
And to whisper "Mommy loves you."

The sky's filled with stars,
And the rain falls ever so lightly.
Hitting our faces with ease,
Yet your smile burns through ever so brightly.

Our faces grow closer,
Your eyes staring into mine.
Hair falls on your forehead,
But our eyes stay gazing, in never-ending line.

The faint smell of vanilla
Drifts from your shoulder.
I sit on your lap,
And you're on a boulder.

Your arms embrace me,
Keeping me close.
My face moves nearer,
And I brush your nose.

The rain begins to fade,
And you carry me home.
What I hate the most,
Is when you leave me alone.

We arrive at the door,
And my heart starts to drop.
My eyes drift around,
And your hand goes to knock.

You let me down gently,
Placing me on my feet.
It's weird to say, but...
My heart skipped a beat.

I turned towards you,
Wanting an answer.
You returned my gaze,
My heart starting the canter.

Our lips met suddenly,
My fingertips tingle.
The door opens swiftly,
Chiming a calm jingle.

We separate quickly,
Our faces red.
I take off up the stairs,
And into my bed.

The feeling you left,
Will stay in my heart.
I wish for the day,
When we're never apart. heart

She beat me to you

Shattered,
Broken,
its in pieces,
there’s no more,
of what there used to be,
I feel so silly,
to even think,
that you would like me,
now its all broken,
but it was never real,
so only thing thats shattered,
is my hopes and dreams,

she beat me to you,
now she’s got what I want,
she may not know it,
but she sure did,
now your with her,
and im alone,
weeping,
and crying,
as I realize,
that I have lost you,

I hope,
and wish,
that it’s not true,
and hope that she’s not into you,
that your not into her,
an that you two are just friends,
but I know thats not true..

There once was a girl named Savannah
With buttcheeks the size of Atlanta
Wherever she went
She'd face much torment
Guys' hands on her butt like a pian'a

This poem is about the emotional difficulties that arise in coming of age.

BREAKAWAY

I see a window
Up there, quite high
Quite a long distance
Till I touch the sky.

But why do I care
No, not for fun
But if you knew
I'm sure you'd run.

The pressure, the pressure
It's pushing me over;
The troubles, the stress
All driving me insane.

All those responsibilities
That I shouldn't bear
Are making them white
One by one, my hair.

It's time to escape
It's time to run
But looking up there
With that and I'm stunned.

I see a window
Up there, quite high
Quite a long distance
Till I touch the sky.

So maybe I'll just sit
And wait till they say
That finally it's time
For me to BREAKAWAY.

If this is a contest, what is the prize? When does it close? How many contestants does it allow? Are there any rules (especially ones about content and length)?

I don't want to break up this part of posting but I'm kind of shocked no one has asked these yet.

The Unforgiven


There isn't a day in the world that i think of her.
She was my Everything, the only light in my world.
I can't help but to notice it hasn't hurt her as much as it has hurt me.
What should i do? She was the one, to rock my world.
Not Everyday is easy *silence*
My heart aches for her. But i dont think she does as well!

If this is legit more info should be given. I like to write, but with no detail it doesn't sound very professional or trustworthy.
