I normally don't write poetry, but I took a crack at it.
You and I
In the dark where affairs sleep
Spurned lovers come to weep
Where relationships come to die
I see the tomb of you and I
In the river where dead things float
We see friendships and lovers come and go
Some were deep and others for show
So now we sit and with painful sighs
Recall past memories floating by
For in this river drowned you and I
In the graveyard lies you and I
Where relationships come to die
Some good some bad
Others both intertwined
In this ground decays you and I

You and I.
Yeah, you were right about me, but can I get myself out from underneath this guilt that will crush me? in the choir, I saw our sad Messiah he was bored and tired of my laments

Come* in the first stanza.
I like it.. although it seems awful.. dark and depressing.

I think its awesome. 9/10 (9 because it seems a little unbalanced, but then I'm also a fan of easy reading. lol)
Please, I am but a smol potate.

Another one
Pale moon looking away
Are you really that ashamed
Of our deeds should, we be blamed?
Oh herald of the night
Shine down your somber light
And bear witness to the terrible sights
Wars, murders, genocides…humanities’ sad plight
Is this why you turn away?
O moon from an Ancient day?
O moon in your endless grace
The skies have you trapped in a sweet embrace
What do you think of the human race?
What did you do to deserve this fate?
Or why do you make yourself stay?
If you can’t help but turn away?
Hey full moon shining bright
Why do you force yourself to look
For innocence that we took
With the sins committed, even the heavens shook
Without you moon my skies are dark
This world we live in is but a farce
Aren’t you afraid
That one day you’ll go away
And everything will remain the same?
O moon where have you gone?
Are you no longer heaven’s pawn?
To move about in an elliptical dance?
For an evil crowd, who declare themselves heaven sent?

Make an upbeat poem, man.

Re: You and I.
There's a difference between emo and dark. I'd like to think my poetry is more of an exploration of the darker sides of the human experience. Not whiney sobby attention grabbing I'mgonnacutmyselfifidon'tgetattention.
I leave that for thursdays.
