Dont Hold Your Breath Poems | Examples


List of Member Poems

Roses Are Dead

When roses stay red
you know their a lie
They make the broken
and small minded sigh

Beauty is perfected
To mend wounded dreams
But behind the act
Could he be who he seems

If the answer is no
keep far away
For the tempted spirits
Tend to stray

If the answer is yes
dont hold your breath
cause if you wait in the cold
You could catch your death

I Dont Miss You

I want what I want, and what I want is unattainable 
dont want to remember, just cant forget
that day you gave me my smile, and how quickly it went
I havent missed you yet..
I walked away, You forced me to.
I left you and now im gone
and dont even think for a second that im gonna look back.
Im walking away and i wont even think to glance.
Dont pray for a second chance. Im too far out of reach to accept that.
Im gone and I will not be back
So dont hold your breath, or youll be dead before i decide to miss you, cause i 
havent missed you yet.
