  3. This is a pretty cool song I found:
    "I Will Follow You Into The Dark" by Death Cab for Cutie
    This is the chorus:

    "If Heaven and Hell decide
    That they both are satisfied
    Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs

    If there's no one beside you
    When your soul embarks
    Then I'll follow you into the dark"
    If you are interested here is the whole thing:

    Love of mine some day you will die
    But I'll be close behind
    I'll follow you into the dark

    No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
    Just our hands clasped so tight
    Waiting for the hint of a spark
    If Heaven and Hell decide
    That they both are satisfied
    Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs

    If there's no one beside you
    When your soul embarks
    Then I'll follow you into the dark

    In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
    I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
    And I held my tongue as she told me
    "Son fear is the heart of love"
    So I never went back

    If Heaven and Hell decide
    That they both are satisfied
    Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs

    If there's no one beside you
    When your soul embarks
    Then I'll follow you into the dark

    You and me have seen everything to see
    From Bangkok to Calgary
    And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
    The time for sleep is now
    It's nothing to cry about
    'cause we'll hold each other soon
    In the blackest of rooms

    If Heaven and Hell decide
    That they both are satisfied
    Illuminate the No's on their vacancy signs

    If there's no one beside you
    When your soul embarks
    Then I'll follow you into the dark
    Then I'll follow you into the dark

  5. :D I like all of these poems! Thank you guys so much for posting :) I really enjoy hearing other people's personal poems too, because actually, a lot of them are the same, how we feel insecure to a degree where we don't feel physically human. They all look incredibly good so far, guys, keep it up :) Poetry is what we do to calm ourselves down by addressing it directly in an indirect method. Writing down our problems with how we felt, how we feel, and all of those things aid our grief, and will create a cure, and acknowledgement and acceptance for what had happened.

    (If you prefer poems over cats, go ahead. Otherwise, it's a bit sad.)

    This was about my cat, Ozzy, one of my best friends who left me as only a six year-old kitten, by a heart attack.

    Ozzy loafs,
    Ozzy lumps,
    Ozzy claws, scratching your sofe.
    Ozzy paws, and those incredible jumps.
    Ozzy jogs, broke his heart.
    Ozzy falls, hits ground mid-night.
    Paul wakes, pets his babe.
    Ozzy eyes, blank as paper.
    Paul cries, holds him tight.
    Ozzy dies, but stays alive.
    Late at night, early in life.
    Love is love.
    And love's a knife. [/spoiler]
  6. One night that set the stage
    For the destruction of what I had loved
    The decision of two reactions
    Caused the ending of my greatest attraction

    Hindsight is always your greatest virtue
    Too bad it cannot help save
    Than one thing I was true to

    A love like this is very rare
    It makes the heart feel like your walking on air

    The second this dicapates, you are falling father than ever..

    (Just made it up)
