=**Poetry submissions shall go here.**=

**For-never**
His car smelled of sweet cologne and after-shave His stereo blaring away my pain We laugh as we sing in the car We don't know where we're going, but we're going far Going nowhere isn't so bad When you're crazy, young, and mad He turns the stereo down at a red-light “Wanna go see a movie tonight?” My head nods up and down I feel like I'm flying high above the ground

It's tonight and he's not here Guess I was not his lover dear There's a knock on the door And a knock at my heart I open the door and see this boy The one who must think my heart is a toy He says “Sorry babe.” I cry out And ask “Why? Why is there doubt?” He says “It could never work anyway “Our love is meant for another day” Never answering my question, he turns Walks down the steps Gets into the car As my heart develops a scar And drives away while the stereo plays a love song What was so wrong? The pressure ruined our love The one I had endlessly dreamed of

No more candy-flavored kisses No more desperate wishes No cologne or after-shave No more running away So this is heartbreak I tremble and I shake As I walk back inside I no longer have a forbidden love to hide

Another lonely night in tears Another night she meet her fears Another night he called her out Another night they scream and shout Another broken heart again Another night you lost your friend

Another night he called her bluff Another night she’d had enough Another night she made her threat Another night he left to vent Another night where her thoughts could run Another night she found the gun

Another call to 911 Another bullet shot from a gun Another body on the floor Another soul will scream no more Another lover tragedy Another gone because of he

He used his words He used his spite All sharper then the sharpest knife He cut her up And watched her die Not a single tear feel from his eye Until the night that he had found His dear beloved on the ground

= I shall be = = = Shattered pieces create me  A silent figure portrays me  My name to you is //irrelevant// Who cares about my name? //Irrelevant// is what you see And so you see it, I shall be

My brilliant mind creates me A beautiful face portrays me  But my voice to you is //irrelevant// Who cares what I have to say? //Irrelevant// is what you hear And so you hear it, I shall be

My beautiful soul creates me Captivating eyes portray me  But my feelings to you are //irrelevant// Who cares about my feelings? //Irrelevant// is how you see them And so you see them, I shall be
