"Please don't take me away from this place, just leave me here in my dreams... everythings perfect, I don't want to wake up, I just want to lie next to you in this bed, hear your heart beating... I need this feeling to last me forever and ever, oh God, don't let it end."-The Smashup

Angels with silver wings shouldn't know suffering... I wish I could take the pain for you"-Depeche Mode

Stuff to know about this contest:
1. I'm targeting the teenage group to judge a fair contest, since adults have the advantage of expirience.
2. HINT: I like rhyme better than freeverse, but enter whatever you want.
3. ANOTHER HINT: I'll also like you if you use proper grammar.
4. I drew the picture.
5. I would like you to comment the other people entering this, but you do not have to.
Rules:
1. Your poem must have NEVER won a trophy before if entering a prewrite.
2. PUT THE OPTION NUMBER, OR YOU WILL BE DQ-ED!!!!
3. Also (I saw another person running a contest who did this and I thought it was a cute idea)... write me a little note next to your option number that starts with "Dear Amanda,"... hah... or be DQ-ed.
4. Follow the rules.
5. NEW RULE--- (to those who entered before, I will not DQ you)... no more than 40 lines... I get bored easily.
