Headlights
Headlights blind my vision,
The sound of sirens fill the air.
I go without your permission
A fate I call quite unfair.
My breath is getting shorter,
I'm getting really scared.
These are my final moments,
And I'm so unprepared.
I wish that you could hold me,
As I lie here and die.
I wish that I could say,
I love you and goodbye.
Tell mom please forgive me,
It's not her fault I swear.
I'm sorry I caused her misery,
And did it without care.
My heartbeat's growing fainter,
As I see a bright light.
My pulse is getting weaker,
It's time to leave this world tonight.
And in these final seconds,
I will use my dying breath.
I breathe my final words,
Before life turns to death.
To say, "He said I love you"
to whisper,"I love him back."
Insane and Insecure
by Theresa Bork
the taste of bitterness on your lips
the broken hearts tattooed on your hips
stand for every home you've wrecked
we overdosed on lust and romance
lucky for us we never stood a chance
i write this as i'm filled with regret
and possibly some resentment
still i wonder why we couldn't make it
still i cry at night because i can't take it
since our love was no fairy tale
then this is the perfect ending
if my heart is cold and stale
then your heart is dark and empty
i'm holding you hand
and you're holding my wrist
we're gambling away
every good time you missed
i'm counting every insult
just like you're counting my every flaw
and as i sit here at my computer
writing poetry about you
i fear these words come too late
and just a little too soon
we're throwing caution out the window
we're giving unhappiness a reason to grow
but i will never say i hate you
i couldn't live with myself if i did
and i can never deny my feelings
borderlining insane and insecure
because even though my heart is broken
the pieces will always belong to you.
