Best Tearing Poems

Armies build great Walls
Children with smiles make then all fall

Embracing our children
We shall see love never war

When we mix like pink cocktails
We will dance to all shores

Our children will laugh, smile and trance
We have only to follow and give love a chance

Youth is happiness all...

—Agonizing Moment, the Hour of 0846 and Thereafter, 09/11/2001—
 
When Pearl Harbor sank to the bottom of water
this nation wailed for enormous pain. However, to cure the wound
we all, the men and women, the young and old, assembled under Star-Spangled Banner, took up arms, and...

(Rebuilding Our Lives)


All who have truly lived… 
Have, stood behind many walls; 
Some had unforeseen bobbed-wired fences
Placed there, by unusual circumstances…
Where it appears, that one may seem to be forced 
To react in the unnatural form of ones inherited nature. 

Our souls having been imprisoned...

They're tearing down Saint Ann's
As I shed a nostalgic tear
Part of my childhood gone
Where I spent my sophomore year
It was September of sixty one
Our very first week of class
It was only a short walk from school
To the Church where we attended Mass
Coal region was different...

To honor the Mother America, our men and women in uniform 
upheld our nation’s colors still hanging from the ruined eagle’s nest, 
though it is torn to shreds, with renewed resolution for uncertain future to come.

And everyone dug the ruins to remove the mountains of...

Seven is the great number
two times seven is even greater,
Niobe lost all fourteen.

Niobe once was a proud woman
not because she was an Olympian
nor for her beauty excelling to Leto.

Although Niobe was queen of Thebes
the mighty city-state Amphion rules,
she forgot she was a mortal.

Niobe saw the...

For my friend Dylan R.

This sin 
Is crawling
Under my skin
I try to take control
But this is slowly
Killing my soul
My past haunts
Haunts every part of me
I always try to hide it
But you always bring it out
For everyone to see 

Love is so hard to see
And I...

This is breaking me down,
Piece by piece
It’s hurting
Bleeding
Crying

I can’t stop the pain
Only you can.
But you’re not here for me anymore
You’re gone...

I could feel the tears rolling down my eye,
It's Almost like I can hear my heart cry.
I could still feel the touch of your lips,
From the first time we had kissed.

Now  am down on my knees,
And I can't describe how messed up It feels.
Am...

Torn from the thoughts of yesterday
Torn from everything i thought I loved
Torn from a love that I thought was true
Sealed shut with lonely, scattered, depressed fears
Sewed up with the needles and threads
Made up of confusion,  hunger, lost, and pain
Scared of new love and thoughts
Moving...

During everyday,
at a time so familiar and relative
the forbidden fruit wishes to be eaten.

So then will teeth be sunken into it's luster?
and savor its sweet, soft allure,
and let its presence inside turn and twist the stomach.

Will it resist?
clawing out it's eyes and drowning it's ears
so...

I found a piece of my heart
That was'nt there before 
You took it and ripped it to the core
You showed me what love feels like
You told me you are mine
You make a world turn upside down 
You make life fall to the ground
You take my...

Lamet!

is what she hears first
him, screaming her second name
as he descends upon her
no time to process
gravity
a thud, tearing her core to shavings
Maiweeeee! She is puzzled.

His baritone dropping the 'n'
agitation
a wooden scrabble.
Nothing is left between her
and Pee, not a grain
all’s crushed
smothering their screams
interlocking their groans.

He is...

All the things he put you through but you still trust him
You want his image to be bright, it sits dark and grim.
You start to ask yourself if what he did was your fault
All the dark memories he caused stored - locked in a vault
Hidden...
