Best Shouldve Poems


Come Back

The pains starting to kick in now that i am all alone.
 I wish i could just take everything back and make it all how it use to be. 
I was so happy when it was just you and me.
 Everyones made these lies and rumors to make me look bad.
 I know thats the reason your so mad. 
You dont believe them but you dont wanna look dumb. 
I feel so broken inside. I
ts like when you left, a part of me died. 
I held it back for some time and i feel so stupid for not chasing what was mine.
 I acted like everything was okay like i was just fine.
 No adam, no. You have no idea baby you dont know. 
Your probably gonna laugh when you read this. 
If i ever get the guts to even email you this. 
Youll probably show your friends and have a laugh with them.
 To me, you were always that perfect him.
 I looked aside on your inperfections and made them perfect.
 I wish i wouldve told you, none of this was worth it.
 I never cheated. I never meant to hurt you. 
I shouldve told you the whole story. 
Maybe we would still be together, maybe we couldve lasted forever.
 Now your gone, and im all alone. Baby, come back.. you were my back bone. 
I never thought what we had, would ever end so bad.
 I miss all the memories we shared. At all the other jealous couples that stared.
 I miss being your baby girl, i miss being one of the important things to you in this world.
 Im not ready to through almost two years away,  i fell in love with you and i still feel the same way.
 You are and always will be number one. Please dont let me go. Im falling apart. I need you..
**Please do not correct my poem in any way I am only 14 I will learn from my mistakes but I was in a hurry just typing away what was on my mind.

My Plead

I learned to accept good with the 
bad.. The ugly ruined everything we 
ever had, realizing u were 
everything I ever had. said u didnt 
rly care & thats what makes me mad 
dnt kno if its a lie or if a fact.. 
Regardless shouldve been there for 
u cus I still see my futur in ur 
hands.. Whether or not & thats what 
makes it sad.. If need be ill let go its 
all part of the plan itll be hard cus ur 
like my bestfriend& my right hand. 
Know me better than myself u truly 
understand.. Im truly sorry& I hope 
that u understand accept the fact 
that im really sorry.. Hope ur 
around for life maybe make me ur 
wife.. From writting ur name In sand  
til forever id want u to b my man.. A 
lil daughter or a son holdin both our 
hands. I might be in dreamland cus 
the dreams weve had.. Know I fkd 
up
but papi can we stick to the plan? 
Though ur gone ur the only 1 that 
has me hanging on.. Even if it takes 
forever ill never do u wrong.. U 
dissed me I dissed u baby we both 
were wrong. Im still here cus our 
bond is so strong correct me if u 
think im wrong but since 16 u kno 
dat I been on.
 Without pride this time.,still I loved 
u for so long.. Im stuck prayin hopin 
that u aint moved on. I look up to u 
know I believe in u id prolly die for 
u always ride for u..

Lies

It shouldve been perfectly clear

You only said what I wanted to hear

But you see, my dear, 

When I look in the mirror

I still see the beautiful

Dark Vanquishes Light

soft cherry kisses send me into bliss
upon my frown lays your silk lips
a graze of a hand so soft i almost miss
i shouldve known you were my solar eclipse

Vengeance

Lord grant me the power to forgive
so that I may have the will to live
Grant me peace
feelings of revenge help me to release
I need you now to help me in this place
Even if I dont win Lord Im ready to run the race
I know what you did was all for me
when I look thru my eyes I just cant see
when I put on my spiritual bifocles I see so clear
how much you love me and want me here
I know my journey will be long and hard
Oh God just be my lite in the dark
I must suffer but I know what I know
you will lead and guide to the path I must go
I cant do it Im not that strong
I give honor and praise you rite my wrongs
I chose the road but want you to fix it
I shouldve let you choose let you pick it
put forgiveness in my heart I truly need it
this feeling of hatred and anger, thru you Ill beat it
giving my love to someone who dont deserve it
giving it to you God you would reserve it
Im asking you for forgiveness for 
cheating and lying too
see because all the things done to me
I did to you
now Im running back to you and
you welcome me with open arms
thats the kind of love I need 
yours is the real one


Coulda, Shoulda, Woulda

i couldve had you for a lifetime
i wouldve always cared
i shouldve stuffed my head
with the memories we shared.
 i couldve dreamt of you
and your warm embrace
i couldve left with you
out of this wretched place.
 i wouldve run way
just to be with you
i wouldve painted your skie
into a brighter shade or hue.
 i shouldve loved you more
while you were in my arms
i shouldve been nicer
before ever causing this harm.
 but couldve will fade
wouldve will too
shouldve has gone
away with you.

Broken Fragments

Hopeless from the start, I shouldve known it all along.
Darkness in ones heart, and other places it doesnt belong.
Broken fragments of life, are now dripping from my eyes.
A painful sight, but the only one you will ever find.
Dont you see the light fading, fading without sound?
Broken fragments of serenity, are now resting on the ground.
Can you tell me the difference, from being dead and alone?
Find one I insist, while you carve my name in stone.
6 metallic strings, 2 brothers to call his,
the only fragments left, when nothing left to give.
But even these have broken away, for darkness takes no survivors.
In its sinister arms I will wait, recieving the pain of which Im entitled.

Shouldve Known Better

i thought that we could make it work,
you acted like you were changing,
but i shouldve known better.

you told me you were ready to get serious,
and that you had grown up and matured,
but i shouldve known better.

i gave you my trust and my heart,
i made you my everything,
but i shouldve known better.

i believed in you when you just lied,
i stayed with you when you  just cheated,
but i shouldve known better.

now im letting go,
cause i cant hold on anymore,
i shouldve known better that to fall for you.

Im So Tired With Me Now(Make Myself Sick)

Current mood: distraught
Category: Life

If i could just project my voice into the ears of those i love
I would take the world into my words and let them hear what my heart sings
it sings of joy and the past time with them,oh so it longs and holds on to that year
but im afraid if i let go now would they feel my heart as it heals and as I
Drop to the floor

I wonder if i shouldve stopped my heart before it fails to bleed
if i died unsuspectively what would my life mean
well dear wonders of this world look at what Beauty Ive Become
Now Watch me Lay out on the street

Take my wings
I dont need them because Angels only kill themselves in dreams
Its just as if heaven was inside my Veins So
Let me bless You know let me Bless these grounds

Let me spill onto the pavement so cold and Shameless im lost
but none of my friends can see this,are they blinded by my Mask
in which i always wear but if i offend you im sorry i swear
Im sorry that im dead

Make this your only comfort to see me lying there in that box soundly asleep
dont even bother trying to wake me,dont call my name
cause my heart feels no remorse or shame for what happened to me
I told you all that i was sick,but did you bother to listen to me

The Gun 2

Should i have known this was gonna happen to us. They were gonna leave us... all i 
was tryna do was save us from this nothing world. NOTHING! now where am i? 

 

I shouldve just stayed back there and not have let you shoot me. I should have just 
froze to death. The sun is shining every day//. but for some reason it felt so far 
away.

 

I could have solved my problem bACK THERE in that nothing world...i could have told 
him i was sorry for breaking up his friendship and that i hope he understands that 
people make mistakes. Am i a person anymore? 

 

I could have....i could have gotten over him...no one stays together forever... 
because there is no such thing.

 

I ......didnt want to...fear took over me.. RAGE took over me! I WAS DONE FOR! that 
world ate me alive! I couldve changed but ITS TOO LATE!

 

where am i? Godd if you can hear me i ask that you forgive me. i Am not 
perfect.Dont leave me 

 

(whats that light in the distance? wait is that God? He is...wait is he shaking his 
head?) .....oh no=\

Suicide From a Cliff

Standing back from the edge
Im hurting do bad
Cutting cant bury the pain
I cant bleed it out anymore.
Sobbing for what I couldnt had-
Shouldve had,
I find myself at the brink
Rocky hills surround me
Staring out over the world
Reaching with my arms
Looking up into the clear sky
I scream 
With no one to hear;
To listen to me rave about my life
My f***** up family;
Nobody listened,
When I was crying.
When my heart was breaking,
I had no one to love me.
When all hope was gone,
There was no shoulder to cry on.
No one even care
If I just disappeared.
Now the loneliness is unbearable
So I take one look back
Then face open air
Far below,
The falls roar menacingly.
I lean out
The foaming water and jutting rocks
Rush towards me;
I close my eyes
Beautiful sensation of flying 
Then nothingness...

Till Death

(vrs 1)
robed in white
but it shouldve been black
lifes counting on this moment
cant take actions back
bound by a tie
we look at eachother
and know this is a lie.

(chorus)
theyll say till death do us part
but youd rather die with me now
so we can get it over with
and leave whats been broken to be fixed
till death leaves us no choice.

(vrs 2)
whats the point
when we're left to disappoint
if  we know we dont belong
then why cant we skip the vows
and leave our white lives
to be stained out by whats real
we'll break both ends of the deal.

(chorus)
theyll say till death do us part
but youd rather die with me now
so we can get it over with
and leave whats broken to be fixed
till death leaves us no choice.

Is It That Hard

Is it that hard?
I tried, I was civil, 
Even pleasant;
I asked about your stupid jeep
When I knew all about it,
I answered your few questions
Very nicely and thoroughly;
 You asked about my interview,
I told you,
Later you mocked me,
Why cant I say
Or do
Anything right in your eyes?
I admitted my wrongs,
My failures,
But when I asked you
Outright
You denied
Wouldnt give a straight answer
I shouldve known;
I listened to it 
My 18 years and one day at home;
I expected it
I was told it would happen
But still I had hope
That maybe you would soften
Maybe you would give a little
But no,
You couldnt even do that
You couldnt admit you are
WRONG
You are cruel
You are twisted
You are so messed up
You are pushing your family away
And you must know it;
Its so obvious
But you cant
Or wont see it.
I dont know what to do;
I try,
I call,
I meet you
And accomplish NOTHING.
I dont want to have to do this
Im so tired of it
My own mother is terrified of you
My little brothers
And my beautiful sisters
Are scared 
To do anything 
You dont approve of;
Youre killing them slowly
Like you did me,
Thats why I left;
Thats why I ran;
I couldnt take it;
They will leave too;
You will be alone,
With no one to control,
No one to abuse,
No one to tell your rules to,
No one to manipulate
No one to listen to you,
Your lies,
Your critisism,
Your ********;
Im done; 
If you want to change,
If you will admit to being wrong,
If you will attempt,
Im willing
And ready to see you,
Im ready to see my family again,
But not you;
You are an ogre,
Youve said it yourself.
(Sarcasticaly of course)
Im waiting for you;
Is it that hard?

Now Your Gone

Your smile and sense of humor, tight hugs will be missed.
Your constant joking laughter that made lifes struggles make sense.
You could move mountains with your words
That made climbing  easier
You encouraged and lifted me up
And reminded how much I was loved.

There was never a moment i felt,
You didnt care about me.
Your more than a step parent,
Im blessed with a 2nd daddy.

I didnt show you how much,
You really mean to me.
Now its too late, your demons took you away.

Im sorry i wasnt there.
I shouldve come along time ago.
I hope you can forgive me.
My heart hurts even worse.

You were so proud of us no matter what
I never said thankyou
Until now im sorry
Your gone.

Maybe if i told you this before that night
You would still be here
With our family.
Its just not right.

Its not the same without you, even many miles away.
But now you travel to wherever
Your heart wants to be.
 
Visit me in my dreams
I pray you forgive me
I love very much im sorry
I wasnt the daughter 
I was supposed to be
