Hi. This is Moat. And this is where I would like to see people post some morbid poems, stories, etc. Although they don't have to, and I will be mainly the one posting here. First entry to my Morbid Literature Journal:
A very much more selfless, brighter, and, dare I say, more optimistic and therefore idiotic, view.
The Only Thing I Ask
I am on the test, the trial For my life, the danger is dire But, dear God The only thing I ask of You Is to keep others from the same fate Protect them from this amount of hate Save the others Please God the only thing I ask of You Save my friends and my mother From this horror My photographs, my memories Will have to help me through I'm lonely and I'm tired I'm missin them again The hatred of others burns like fire Why do they hate me? I'm just a man But, dear God The only thing I ask of You Protect my family and friends And my strength, it will hold Through the dark and through the cold I'm hurting and I'm hated They hurt me with word and rod But, dear God The only thing I ask of You The others around me have lost hope But I pray to You And I remember the good times You have given me With my family and friends And I can pull through Because hurt is nothing new In this world And all I need to do Is pray again to You I'm lonely and I'm tired I'm missin them again The hatred of others burns like fire Why do they hate me? I'm just a man But, dear God The only thing I ask of You Protect my family and friends And my strength, it will hold Through the dark and through the cold I am weak outside They have hurt my body and my mind For no reason other than I'm different I believe that the other prisoners went Well, I am still alive As long as I can, time after time Think about those I love Those left so far behind But I can't help but wish That I could be there again Back where I love to be There's nothing here for me On this road of life But I trust You, dear God And I pray to You, dear God The only thing I ask of You Save them this day I'm lonely and I'm tired I'm missin them again The hatred of others burns like fire Why do they hate me? I'm just a man But, dear God The only thing I ask of You Protect my family and friends And my strength, it will hold Through the dark and through the cold There's no one here Noplace to go My overwhelming fear Oh, no no no But it's not for me It's for them I will believe they're safe Until the end And there may be horror There may be strife But if I lose them It'll be like a knife And to you I pray Dear God The only thing I ask of You Protect them on this darkest day When I'm not around When I'm much too far away I'm lonely and I'm tired I'm missin them again The hatred of others burns like fire Why do they hate me? I'm just a man But, dear God The only thing I ask of You Protect my family and friends And my strength, it will hold Through the dark and through the cold Dear God You can take me Save them, protect them The only thing I ask Save the others from this fate Protect them all, upon this day
A much darker revision of my submission to the Poetry Contest for the Affection theme.
Perfect Poison
Do you know? What's the point? Of lovers to stay together Like two bones to the same joint? I don't really know And I refuse to let it go I can't understand I've traveled all through the land For the answer Even when you are in love It's unstoppable Impossible to grasp But while this world is cruel... It's wonders can make you gasp It's the perfect poison Love, impossible to get rid of It's gonna kill me some day That, I know Yet, though I have a will to live I can't let go of love to do so You don't wanna let it go And yet, you know you must It'll destroy your world one day Leave behind nothing but ashes and dust But, what it brings while it's still there! I guess it's worth dying for There is no antidote To this terrific poison That I don't want to get rid of It's so confusing Do I want to live or die? What's happened to my life? If keeping love means I will die I just can't understand why I'm willing to lay down and die All for love Some say it lasts forever But it's just a perfect poison I should've known It was too good to be true But that won't be the end of me and you It's the perfect poison Love, impossible to get rid of It's gonna kill me some day That, I know Yet, though I have a will to live I can't let go of love to do so You don't wanna let it go And yet, you know you must It'll destroy your world one day Leave behind nothing but ashes and dust But, what it brings while it's still there! I guess it's worth dying for The perfect poison Just for me I guess my love Will never let me free Well, it was good while it lasted Poison's wasting me away And yet, still any old day I would die for this perfect poison Love It's not a waste It's the perfect poison Love, impossible to get rid of It's gonna kill me some day That, I know Yet, though I have a will to live I can't let go of love to do so You don't wanna let it go And yet, you know you must It'll destroy your world one day Leave behind nothing but ashes and dust But, what it brings while it's still there! I guess it's worth dying for Your poison runs through my veins My blood drips, and it stains Can'tcha feel the poison rising? I can feel Our love destroy me Straight to the heart Not yet the end of love Never again will I let go, my friend I can't regret Decisions made for me by my heart The one thing that never dies Is the thing that kills
Really short...pointless? I may post additions to this one later. Who knows?
Tick tock Not much time still left on the clock Going around and round And I'm just falling down and down To land so hard And my hand has no more cards I am done But I won't give it up Even though death is coming I won't run
I got another one inspired by Metallicas' song called One, which I just happen to be listening to. Also a continuation of one by other poems.
Gone And Died
A soldier far from death, But dead inside. Killed in battle, Yet still living.
How can this be? How can he die? How can he live? How can he be both?
The bomb struck him down, Yet he still lives. Only inside though, But his body is dead.
No arms, Legs, Brain, Or conscience.
Once his life is gone, One will not know. He is but a casualty, In a war of death.
His friend is dead, Struck down before his eyes, But that had no effect, As he is dead himself.
He cannot think, Breathe, Speak, Or move.
Life itself is out of death, Never incite it's precious vows, As they all go away, Only to return in lethal form.
He cannot hear, Taste, See, Or be.
Life itself is out death, Never incite it's precious vows, As they all go away, Only to return in lethal form.
The battle was fierce, It's combatants loyal. It's a final death, A final death of morality.
He cannot eat, Sleep, Live, Or die.
It's all over, But then it's not. Life can never end, Not when there is no life.
Life itself is out of death, Never incite it's precious vows, As they all go away, Only to return in lethal form.
Read it as a song. It's intended to last about nine minutes, but that's to long to read. It's okay if it's off I think, it's the first song I've ever written.
Moat, do you by any chance like Avenged Sevenfold? Because I can't help noticing, after reading your poems on pages 1 and 2, that you've used a lot of lyrics from their songs in "your" work. For example, your first poem had lyrics from Dear God. The poem at the top of page 2 had lyrics from Brompton Cocktail. Another poem on page 2 had lyrics from Scream.
I mean... That's not your own work, is it? Sorry if you've already addressed this situation; I only read the first 2 pages.
I remembered black skies, gunfire all around me I remembered each shot as blood began to flow Like a startling sign that fate had finally found me And pain was all I learned Did I get what I deserve? So give me me a reason Why I should die Fighting for those who treasoned That I should fall And the evil still stand tall There was nothing in sight darkness tinged by blood There was nowhere to hide All through the bloody mud And as I fell, I watched my comrades screaming Did we get what we deserved? Or are we simply dreaming? So give me a reason Why I should die And they should still stand tall And I hear the screams that echo, as we began to fall In every loss of good There was an evil that we fell for In every soldier losing blood There was an evil causing the rift before And the screams were all we heard This world is upside down, it's all wrong And we would never last for long But let it be enough to reach the truth that lies Beyond our souls and as we die
As I stand there, I think about all my past memories. All those good times with my family. The state fair. The Vacation to Hawaii. And the birth of my little girl Emma. But know it all ends here for me, at this concentration camp. The Nazi's, those inhuman beasts, Need to all die. Go to hell is what I told them, but they didn't care. I stand here in a line with all my other Division 23 Friends. POW's we all were. Now, they started to count down, my whole life flashes before my eyes. 5-4-3-2-1-0 POW!!! The bullets fired. I took my last breath as time stared to slow down. I saw the bullet headed right for me. It ripped right through m chest, striaght throught the heart. I lay there now, on the ground, in a pool of my own, and friends blood. My last breath, was now released. A world of black was all I then saw.
A lonely road, crossed another cold state line Miles away from those I love purpose hard to find While I recall all the words you spoke to me Can't help but wish that I was there Back where I'd love to be, oh yeah
Dear God the only thing I ask of you is To hold her when I'm not around When I'm much too far away We all need that person who can be true to you But I left her when I found her And now I wish I'd stayed Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired I'm missing you again oh no Once again
There's nothing here for me on this barren road There's no one here while the city sleeps And all the shops are closed Can't help but think of the times I've had with you Pictures and some memories will have to help me through, oh yeah
Dear God the only thing I ask of you is To hold her when I'm not around When I'm much too far away We all need that person who can be true to you I left her when I found her And now I wish I'd stayed Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired I'm missing you again oh no Once again
Some search, never finding a way Before long, they waste away I found you, something told me to stay I gave in, to selfish ways And how I miss someone to hold When hope begins to fade
A lonely road, crossed another cold state line Miles away from those I love purpose hard to find
Dear God the only thing I ask of you is To hold her when I'm not around When I'm much too far away We all need the person who can be true to you I left her when I found her And now I wish I'd stayed Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired I'm missing you again oh no Once again
Ok, so that was one of the songs you said I copied, yeah?
Scream by Avenged Sevenfold
Caught up in this madness too blind to see Woke animal feelings in me Took over my sense and I lost control I'll taste your blood tonight
You know I make you wanna scream You know I make you wanna run from me baby but know it's too late you've wasted all your time
Relax while you're closing your eyes to me So warm as I'm setting you free With your arms by your side there's no struggling Pleasure's all mine this time
You know I make you wanna scream You know I make you wanna run from me baby but know it's too late you've wasted all your time
Cherishing, those feelings pleasuring Cover me, unwanted clemency Scream till there's silence Scream while there's life left, vanishing Scream from the pleasure unmask your desire perishing
We've all had a time where we've lost control We've all had our time to grow I'm hoping I'm wrong but I know I'm right I'll hunt again one night
You know I make you wanna scream You know I make you wanna run from me baby but know it's too late you've wasted all your time
Cherishing, those feelings pleasuring Cover me, unwanted clemency Scream till there's silence Scream while there's life left, vanishing Scream from the pleasure unmask your desire perishing
Some live repressing their instinctive feelings Protest the way we're built don't point the blame on me
Scream, scream, scream the way you would if I ravaged your body Scream, scream, scream the way you would if I ravaged your mind
Cherishing, those feelings pleasuring Cover me, unwanted clemency Scream till there's silence Scream while there's life left, vanishing Scream from the pleasurem unmask your desire Perishi
There's another one.
Brompton Cocktail by Avenged Sevenfold
(Out of time...) Doc, I'm dying, I'm feeling compromised (feeling compromised) And so dehumanized (and so dehumanized) I lost my final fight to disease, I feel that this is where it ends I need that shot to enter my vein My Brompton Cocktail blend
'Cause I can't feel my face I won't struggle on In a world so cold In a world so wrong
I'm not running away, been fighting this so long (so long) Such a price that we pay, we gotta be so strong In a lie...
I'm tired, induced euphoria (induced euphoria) To help me move along (help me move along) I wanna meet my maker in peace, I want to feel alive again So put that smile back on my face and mix it strong my Friend
'Cause I can't feel my face I won't struggle on In a world so cold In a world so wrong
I'm not running away, been fighting this so long (so long) Such a price that we pay, we gotta be so strong And I take my life tonight 'cause I have the right to die How I wanna And leave how I arrived, so alive
I believe my sins have been forgiven And I believe my choice will save me from this life Please don't question why My sins have been forgotten I believe I'll find peace in afterlife Please don't question why I left this way
'Cause I can't feel my face I won't struggle on In a world so cold In a world so wrong
I'm not running away, been fighting this so long (so long) Such a price that we pay, we gotta be so strong And I take my life tonight 'cause I have the right to die How I wanna And leave how I arrived, so alive (Alive)
Ok, could you point out which songs are similar? I'd like to sort this out. Cuz there is a possibility that they might actually have lyrics in common; I used to listen to A7X when writing songs. =(. I hate it when I do that...and these lyrics were from a long time ago, so I wouldn't remember and I didn't bother to read the author's note when I c/ped this from my account on Quizilla. You might be right.
Okay, I'm on my phone, so I can't go back and quote it all, sorry.
But the first poem you posted on this thread had a lot of lyrics from Dear God in it. Like... "dear god, the only thing I ask of you is..." and "I'm lonely and I'm tired, I'm missing you again..."
And in Brompton Cocktail you used the lyrics in the top of page 2 poem. "doc" and "Brompton cocktail" (and more, but I can't remember what) You used aspects of Scream in another poem on page 2.
Sorry for pointing that out, I just felt that, although its mostly your own work, its still partly copied.
also I can't refresh tthe page before posting, sorry if you've already posted. Darn phone...
Oh. Well, it's ok... And if any lyrics were copied, sorry about that. Could we run this thing again, please? Except we need it to be like all dark and disgusting and whatnot. So it will fit the morbid theme =).
Not bad TSL, not bad at all. But you're making it look all big and intimidating by pressing enter so much... And my advice: needs more rhyme so it can flow. Still a great poem. It won't be after it's stuck in my head all day, though ;(
