These are a few samples from my ever-growing collection of emo poetry. I've been writing a bunch of this stuff over the past few months, and I thought I'd share it with you. Will add more later. Enjoy. 
Red Rose of Mine
It happens at a time we never chose
And somehow we get lost in the throes
Then all we want, all we need
Is the give of that red rose
'Tis a wonderful thing, I say
It takes all our pain away
Perfect lives, happy hearts
But sometimes it doesn't end up that way
Sometimes there are many tears
From our realized fears
Yet sometimes we can't lay our dreams to rest
For we hold them to our hearts so dear
This is what happened to me
And destroyed me so silently
A failure from the start
Perhaps it wasn't meant to be
This for sure I see, I know
I will never receive your red rose
But will my heart ever stop?
Will I ever move on, who knows?
Of your love there was never a sign
And slowly my heart runs out of rhymes
But I still give to you
This red rose of mine
My red rose belongs to you
It couldn't be more true
You are the one my heart chose
You are the one it will always choose
For my love, I've paid a price
Blood I've bled, tears I've cried
But I still go on loving you
It's all that keeps me alive
Because more and more each day
Through all my misery and pain
My feelings never die
My heart still beats your name
And so I tell you yet another time
For I can't say enough of this line
Forever and always, only for you
I give you this red rose of mine
Lonely Road
I walk down this lonely road
Of a barren, lifeless land
There is a shadowy gloom, a dark veil
Truly this place is sad
The leaves fall off the trees
Onto the cold, dead ground
Where I rest my head for a while
Until awakened by a sound
Here in this wretched place
A dark cloud hangs over me
The rain drenches me now
Falling like my dreams into the sea
Every day I trudge on and on
With the end nowhere in sight
With every tired step I take
I die a little inside
Though I cannot see the end
Of this miserable, lonely trail
I know there is nothing for me there
I know I will fail
Nothing that will comfort me
Nothing to keep me warm
No refuge for the paining heart
Nothing to calm the storm
So why do I walk this road?
Why do I waste my time?
Why do I keep telling myself
Things will change after a time?
Because the feelings locked up inside me
Give me reason to trudge along
My heart may be very weak
But it's love is true and strong
Broken Autumn
The gentle autumn breeze
The crisp, cool air throughout the land
The seasons change, and so do we
But me most of all
I'm not the same person as just a season ago
With autumn came a new me
One filled with misery and pain
But from the outside, who can tell?
The leaves turn beautiful hues
Red, orange, and gold
The sky could not be prettier
The brightest of blue
'Tis a time of happiness and joy
Of love and enchantment
A wonderful time for everyone
Everyone but me
In my heart, it is the opposite
The leaves turn not beautiful colors
But the blackest of black
They shrivel and die, taking with them pieces of me
The once gentle breeze
Is now a raging whirlwind
Gray skies, dark clouds surround broken souls
The cold pierces me, chills me to the bone
The lonely heart is tormented
Lost in a sorrowful melancholy
Spiraling into the dark abyss
It grieves each and every day
The tears fall like rain
Lives decay like the dead leaves
The sun's rays shine on me
But they give me no warmth
Thoughts of her every single day
Her smiling face in the lovely autumn time
If only I was happy like her, with her
If only I could feel the autumn joy
But no, for me there is only sorrow
There is no joy, there is only hurt
Love has broken my autumn this year
And it won't break my fall
"You Don't Love Me"
How can you say that I don't love you
After all I've put myself through
After all the heartbreak
After all the pain
I didn't have to suffer so much
I could've just moved on
But I do it because you are irreplaceable
I do it because I love you
How can you say that I don't love you
When you look at the scars on my arm
The scars on my heart
The scars on my soul
So many times you've messed with me
Argued with me, hated me
I overlook it all
I do it because I love you
How can you say that I don't love you
When I only want your happiness
What's best for you
If not for me
I criticize you all the time
Tell you you're not perfect
Because I only want to make you better
I do it because I love you
How can you say that I don't love you
When all I do is think about you
Day and night, always in my mind
You are my world
I pour these words from my soul
You made me a poet, an artist
My life is devoted to you
I do it because I love you
