This is the best line ever writ
It makes this one look like shit.

I made myself laugh an embarrassing amount with that one.

I forgot this thread exists.

I forgot I exist.

I forgot I exist
Or just who I am
But lest I desist
To exist, I am damned

My memories gone
My mind a blank slate
Cannot be no one for long
What's my past, my future, my fate?

I cannot recall my name
I cannot recall my life
Is this some sick, twisted game
Or another true tale of strife?

How did I get here?
What will I do?
Well, I don't know
That's why I asked you

Life has been shadowed by death
Yeah...I dunno. Just feeling gothy at the moment.

Oh dammmm... I had a poem to post but got sidetracked by Parsat's Digest thread and now look. I don't like writing gothic style poems so Hyper's first line still remains, I just want to post the poem I'd written for the previous line.

I forgot I existed,
I couldn't see me at all.
For infront of the mirror,
Stood a girl oh so small.

And her eyes, they were blackened,
And her fingers were bone,
And she looked so afraid,
So forlorn, so alone.

As she shook her tiny head,
So miniscule for her age,
Her tattered clothes swung,
From her prominent ribcage.

And when the girl noticed me,
And screamed as loud as she could,
I knew the girl was an echo,
Of my early childhood.

As I said, Hyper's title remains...

Life has been shadowed by death

Life has been shadowed by death
Ever since the world has been spinning.
A new life comes,
An old life goes,
It is a cycle that is never ending.

Not everyone feels the pain of someone gone.
But sooner or later they will,
But it doesn't mean you should be depressed,
It is just The Life's Deal.

Okay yeah its kinda short. and I mean THe Life's Deal as in when your born your in the whole Deal thingie cause you will eventually die. Get it? yeah.

Should of never let you in

Should have never let you in.
Should've never given you the key.
Because I think I knew, within
That your intent was to hurt me

I was blinded by my heart,
And what I wanted to believe.
I wanted a new start.
I wanted just to be relieved.

I'm worse now than I ever was
And it's all thanks to you
It's all just because
I couldn't accept what you said wasn't true

I should have never let you in
And should have thrown away the key
Should've slammed the door right in your face
But that just wasn't me


My day? It started off okay

My day? It started off okay.
Did all the same things that I would do,
Got ready to face the world,
But I wasn't ready to face you.

Life just isn't fair, now is it?
So I'm stuck in this place.
Sitting across from you.
Trying to not stare at your face.

Couldn't keep going or else I would of never stopped.


Don't you see?

Don't you see?
You are her slave.
Her prisoner.
With her you will never be free!

Leave her, she ain't the one,
search for someone else,
that has a better attitude,
and a better self.

As the sun goes down and the moon up,

As the sun goes down and the moon up,
Strange people come out to dance.
They float gently on the summer breeze,
Phantoms stuck in a sleep-like trance.

Under the moon like tots they play,
Dancing through the night air.
Over the temples of children young,
Stealing strands of silky golden hair.

But sleep dear child,
The night is nigh.
They will not harm,
Instead protect.

For the night belongs to the moon,
Yet the morning will come, all,too, soon.

The cry echoes loud...

The cry echoes loud,
Both noble and proud,
It is heard by the folks
Of the animal crowd

Some called out to respond,
Some just lazily yawned
And the oblivious fish
Just stayed still in their pond

The cry sharply stopped,
Close by something popped,
And with one final sound,
Down the unfortunate beast dropped

The day the sun shined...

The day the sun shined,
the clouds gave away.
it started a new day,
new life existance.

warming the world,
bringing joy.
instead of hate,
what the sun an do.

the moons power

The moon's power is strong,
On the things of the night.
Things that go bump,
And give us a fright.

The moon's power is strong,
It controls the seas,
High tide and low tide,
Fishermen to please.

The moon's power is strong,
But it waxes and wanes.
From crescent to full moon,
To the new refrain.

A plane passes overhead...

A plane passes overhead
Crashing into clouds of red
The ocean fastly turns to black
Draining daylight like a snack
The twinkling dregs light the sky
Embellishing my apple pie

Nonsense poems are so awesome

Nonsense poems are so awesome,
Flibbidy flobbidy do!
I left my house in a chocolate ship,
My tyres will soon come true!

The elephant trance is really deep,
I must confess my dark underwear!
My eyebrow ate a large turnip,
Like the flamingo at the fair.

Your spark plug lit a concrete flute,
The wives were very wolf-like.
The engine room is glittery,
I ate and died by a pike.

In my deepest dreams...

In my deepest dreams,
It seems, I'm in love with you.
In my heart, I know
You though, you are not for me.
Loneliness it seems,
By dreams, seeds a want for you.
Yet, I still feel, though,
You know I want you with me.

The artichoke wears purple pants

The artichoke wears purple pants
The cabbage prefers red
Let's break into a song and dance
In the place inside your head

The artichoke's pants are fancy pants
But the eggplant's are quite plain
Yes, I know, they are all plants
But plants have to be modest too, I say!

*gasp* You're vegetarian!?
You creepy cannibal freak!!!
What are you, totalitarian?
I think your brain has sprung a leak

Yeah...I tried. Gantic, you always have the craziest lines. I like em. =), so I'll give you guys a whimsical line to work with.
