"Whispering Screams"
by Ashleigh EN Conflict (2003-04-12)

I am not
but what you are not.
And what we are not
we clash...together.
I am everything you
wish you had,
but beautifully tainted...
that which irks you.
You are everything
I want to be,
but you're such a bore,
you're ntohing to me.
And everything that is nothing,
but desirable you are to me.
Your face is gentle,
but I wish you'd just bathe.
You are a free spirit,
ever-so-loathsome.
Yet you are trapped
in yourself, acting as
another...which is far from you.
You care and you hate,
yet you don't dislike at all.
You are the fakest original
being I've ever
met eyes with.
You are also my abandoned
soulmate.


"Never Lie"
by Britt EN Emotion (2002-09-07)

I hate your petty lies,
What were you trying to gain?
By whispering sweet sentances,
With words you don't have definitions for.
When you said love-
Did you mean lust,
Did you mean anguish and hatred?
Among your falseties,
Were care and cravings.
You seemed to satisfy one of those,
At my expense.
You seemed to find my weaknesses,
And conquer them one at a time,
So many times I've ran from you crying,
Saying "it hurts so bad so please don't let me
Fall once more."
Still we try to fix what we occasionally do wrong.
We're not going anywhere
We've both shed our tears.
But we'll never learn
If you play with fire you will get burned
Face it you can't hide from me
Even when you deny-
All your lies told to me.
I don't want to feel like this again
So you make another promise to remain true.
Your promises are no assurance to me.
They're worth fools gold to me-
Because your words are empty.
All they do is enforce your lies.
And make me want you away from me
Still something inside says give it one more try
But dishonesty will come back to you...
It's time for me to manifest my own lies.
Lies of love, lies of care
But I could never lie to you-
And still get lost in your eyes.
Because that is where I find my truths-
Your eyes never lie.


"glass world"
by Nicole M. Sacchitella EN Emotion (2002-07-31)

Inside a glass box,
I see your transparency
on the mirror.
But I am desolate within.
Scream encore,
I dare you.
Your numb skin feels the dancing bee stings.
Bees are behind the windows.
Harmonious yellow inmates,
on my side, and out the visions.
My fingers melt into the glass.
I abhor my holding metaphoric millimeters to your temples when I message your back.
9...maybe 10 size transient bullets
are threatening dry suede coats.
They take flight with timid herons over rain puddles.
When there is a whole world outside my glass box,
your reflection is always out there.


"Killing Time"
by Aaron M. Simington EN Life (2001-12-06)

Alone in a dungeon
As my water evaporates
Devowered by the sun
As my heart beats drift away

My stomach moans and screams
And I am entertained
For I have no friends but me
And my heart beats drift away

My worth is a hand full of pennys
I am no more then a slave
I am hopeless and unwanted
And my heart beats drift away

I want my time to come
But time grows longer, day by day
My tears and pain have made me numb
As my heart beats drift away

All of a sudden, I have a feeling inside of me
I bow my head, close my eyes and pray
I said amen, looked towards the sun and smiled
'Cause I'm no longer the same
And my heart beat still remains


"Dreaming?"
by Keller EN Fantasy (2001-08-20)

I sleep
And when i sleep
i dream
thoughts
pouring into my subconcious
like a multi-colored river
i dreamed of you
like a brown eyed angel
coming to my aid
around you danced a light
one of which i'd seen before
but not as bright as this
then it hit me
this was your radiated love
suddenly you were holding me
raining kisses down upon my neck
the world was right
i felt as though
this had happened before
like i'd just met you
and felt instantly loved
but this was only a dream...
wasn't it?
