Poem: I’m Just Sleeping

Plunging deep into my skin
I’m fighting a battle that I want to but can’t win
My eyes flicker and give you hope
Just as my body is shutting down, it can’t cope
The machines are beeping
You keep telling yourself that I’m just sleeping
My killer is running free
But on their conscience it’s me
In their mind I’m all that they can see

Just kiss my good night just one more time
Let’s forget this night and terrible crime
Let me give up this fight
I promise to light up the night
Be the brightest star in the sky
Just let me go, let me sleep, let me die

I promise to talk to you everyday
Even if my words you cannot hear
I promise one day we’ll be together again
I just don’t know when

Poem: Won’t Bring You Back

Falling so hard to the ground
It’s a wonder your soul can still be found
Gliding to the sky
Your angel wings take you so high
I have a wish, only one request
It’s probably not for the best
But it’s my only request, my only hope
The only way for me to be able to cope
All I need is to be able to see your face again
Your whole life has disappeared down the drain
All because of someone’s terrible crime
They might be behind bars doing time
But that won’t bring you back

Poem: Just The Way

You're on one knee
Telling me how much you love me
Giving me forever
Telling me you want us to always be together
Happiness is spilling out of me
The future is where I want to be
Just you and me
We've got something that can only be described as perfect
It's just the way our hearts connect
We're united by this bond,
Together is how we will always belong

Poem: I Love It When

I would like to tell you that I don't need you
But you and I
Both know I'd rather die
Than say we are through
We have something that only belongs to you and me
Something I'm not afraid for the world to see
Each and every day this love grows a little bit more
Because it's you and the things that you do that I adore
You see it might sound cliché
But I love it when I hear you say
'I love you'

Poem: What I Need

So many things that I want
Top of the list is a knight and his steed
Second is true love
Followed by an angel sent from above
True love and protection
What I need is your affection
But there are some things that I’m dreaming about, if only
You were the one to hold me when I’m lonely
Then I wouldn’t have to be dreaming anymore

Poem: We’re Becoming To Be

I know I’m not perfect
But I do my best to get as close as I can
You say I don’t need to change
I see the doubt of you own words in your eyes
Our relationship used to be fine
I knew one hundred percent you were mine
But lately people made me question how we feel
And if our love is real
To them we can’t be
Anything more than average
But I thought we were perfect
And nothing less
It was only you I wanted to impress
People started talking
Then my mind started walking
Going round and round
Thinking about
All the little things you said
The looks you give the other girls
The distance you’re putting between you and me
Maybe it’s just me
Or what they’re saying we’re becoming to be

Tell me they’re wrong
And it’s in my heart you belong
Say things will always be perfect
Between you and me
Say there’s no need to question it
Because our hearts are a perfect fit
It all I want to hear from your lips
A comfortable silence
A little reassurance from you
Once in a while

Poem: I'm Living My Truth Without Your Lies

You think you know it all
You think you know me
But if I tell you the truth you would stop and stall
If you open your eyes then maybe you would see
That I'm not longer going to
Play your games
Pretend that to me you're being true
When really you have 101 different love flames
You maybe 'Mr Perfect'
But really you're 'Mr Disrespect'

You haven't got the right to say to me
Who I should be
When you have me confused with 'Miss Last Night'
It's too late for you to protest, to put up a fight
You lost that right
When you didn't pick up last night
I told you from the beginning
You thought you were winning, when all you were doing was sinning

No one will and has ever made a fool out of me
From now I'm living my truth without your lies
I'm walking out, and I won't be coming back, you'll see
There won't be anymore tears from these eyes

I'm stronger now that I've woken up to see who you really are
You just another Mr Want It All with a sports car
I'm no longer going to be 'Miss Day Time'
While you sneak off to see 'Miss Night Time'
You my think you know everything
But in reality you know nothing

Poem: Until You Make It

I might not be who you want me to be
But I’m telling you now
I’ll be making it back somehow
I’ve been making the headlines
But only because life has no streets signs
To point me in the right direction
I have no angel to offer me protection
So I have to carve my own pathway
Ready for when it’s my day
Don’t be forgetting it
Or you’ll be regretting it
The day you make your name
Is the day when your life won’t be the same
So take your time
And treasure every dime
Don’t use it
Or you’ll abuse it
The faith that you have will never fade
Until the day that your made

Poem: Unfaithful Lies And Crazy Accusations

We’ll be sat at the dinner table
Trying to hold a conversation
But the foundations of this love are unstable
Unfaithful lies and crazy accusations are the foundations
Won’t be long until the first plate smashes to the floor
And I’m heading to the door
The tears on your face can’t bring me back
Can’t change it, no that’s a fact
So many times we’ve tried to have this talk
But I’ve had enough and I’m going to walk

Poem: The Step I Have To Take

How many chances before you call it a day?
How many lies have I got to hear before I get my say?
I’m hearing so much nonsense
Boy don’t you have a conscience
Can’t you see what you’re doing to me?
A romantic gesture, on bended knee
That isn’t going to help you now
I can’t even scream about that other cow
You’ve reduced me to petty name calling
I wish I’d known when you had me falling
That I wouldn’t be your only
The last to call when you got lonely
I won’t be running back
I refuse to let the tears leave tracks
I’m turning my back on you
And everything you say you will do
Your words mean nothing
I’m just going to concentrate on living
This is the step I have to take
Even if it means my heart will break

Poem: The Feeling Inside

Your hand in mine
For all of time
Please guide me through
As I never want to be without you
You’re the breath in my body
You’re the beat in my heart
I’ve been waiting for this feeling
That I’m slowly revealing
I need to hold you
A need that’s become overdue
You’ve opened my eyes
To the feelings I have inside

Poem: Sleep Tight

Each number has a name
And each name has a number
Imagine being lost in a crowd
Never to be found
Just a number with a name
A name lost in this world
Fighting for you and I
For us to have a piece of mind
I hope you sleep well tonight
Knowing a number with a name
Died for you tonight

Poem: Setting The Scene

Laying on the round
Looking so peaceful
The scene around you devastating
Flashing lights, sirens, blood
Everything is done for a reason
What reason is good enough for this?

Would you want to live again?
If there was an end like this
Would you be the victim?
Living in a new space
I’d be happy to take your place
Will you be happy now you lay so still?

Poem: Plain for Anyone to See

We’re meant to be together
So give me the chance
I’ll be by your side forever
Be one hundred percent faithful
Give you gifts and buy you things
I’ll treat you right
Be by your side, no reason for us to fight
Never do you wrong
Because in my heart you belong
I’ll never leave you for anyone else
Won’t let anyone come in between
You and me
Because we’re meant to be
It’s plain for anyone to see
Call me when you get lonely
Because I want to be your one and only

Poem: Our Heroes

Fighting for you and me
So we can be what we want to be
Giving their lives
Spend a minute thinking about those who didn’t survive
The wives left behind
See them come home
Give them some respect
What more could we expect
They give everything for us
Not doing it for some kind of buzz
Lives are lost
For such a big cost
You shouldn’t have anything to hide
They are our pride
Give a thought to all the families
Forget all the controversies
They’re our heroes
Let’s support them in what they need to do
Remember it’s for me and you

Poem: One Thing I Would Do

There’s a light above me
Guiding me back home
Back to those I can turn to
Especially as I can’t last a day without you
With my last breath there is only one thing I would do
Say I love you
Please be there waiting
And never be contemplating
I’m coming home now
I hope I’m doing you proud

Poem: Nothing But Perfection

Let’s make a decision
A fatal incision
Love or hate,
Whatever it must be fate
Come in closer
I’m not a poser
I want the best,
Won’t settle for anything less
Love me or hate me
I’m all that you can see,
And everything I want to be
Nothing but perfection,
God’s own selection
You might be standing tall
But who’s going to be there when you fall?

Poem: Not Where I Want To Be

The days come and go
It’s time to get away
I’m out of time
It’s never going to be my day
Stuck in the traffic jam of life
Standing still not making it to where I want to be
Someone’s standing on the brakes
It’s time to move
Don’t want my life to be put in reverse
I can’t come back stronger
Because I’m not where I want to be

Poem: Not Ready To Leave

Staring at my beating heart
I’m not ready to leave
Not yet
Sharp and so powerful
Plunging deep
I’m not ready to leave
Not yet
You were just a stranger
Eyes filled with danger
So forceful, you’ll never be remorseful
I’m not ready to leave
Not yet
Maybe this is my end
A kitchen utensil
Taken all chance
For a happy ending
I wasn’t ready to leave
But I guess I’ll have to be

 

This poem came from several news stories about knife crime.

Poem: Not An Imitation

How do you tell the one you love
You’re in love with another
Who promises the world
Not just material things like diamonds and pearls
A man who treats me like a princess
He doesn’t listen to my past as if it’s something I should confess
Promising to help me succeed my dreams
And test life to its extremes
A complete gentleman
One who will pay for meals and hold open doors
Who will carry you shopping from the store
The only person you want to catch you when you fall
The first to be in your missed calls

A real man
Not an imitation of one
