Enrapture and Intoxicate

I want sadness, pain, suffering, etc.
I would ask for all genres of poetry, but every time I do I never get the emotion I want. It seems that people find it easier to put heart and soul, blood and tears to subjects that make you hurt. So that's what I am asking for.

I'll comment every entry, I'll be honest, I'll add more points to the contest as they come.

Simple right?

Edit: If you can put true love into words that aren't cliche, cheesy, or pathetic- feel free to enter some of those words in poem form.

Edit: My maximum entries were full- so I added entry spots because I am absouletly adoring these poems and I am hoping for a continuation.

  • Final notes:
    You guys suck. JUST KIDDING but you all did make this extremely difficult to judge because of how amazing all the poetry was...is...you catch my drift. I couldn't decide on how to place the poems at first so I re-read over and over...then finally- I waited a long time and came back and looked at names. If I could remember how the poem affected me without reading it again- I knew it was better. Thank you all so much for entering. Till next time- THANKS and toodles
