Dampak Positif dan Negatif Pendudukan Jepang di Indonesia


Masa Pendudukan Jepang di Indonesia adalah masa yang sangat berpengaruh bagi perkembangan Indconesia, selain itu hampir tidak adanya tantangan yang berarti kepada Belanda sebelumnya. Dalam masanya yang singkat itu, Jepang membawa dampak yang positif dan jua membawa dampak yang negatif bagi bangsa Indonesia pada umumnya. Pada umumnya kebanyakan beranggapan masa pendudukan Jepang adalah masa-masa yang kelam, akan tetapi tidak semuanya itu benar, ada juga yang membawa kebaikannya pula.

A.Dampak Positif Pendudukan Jepang

Tidak banyak yang mengetahui tentang dampak positifnya Jepang menduduki Indonesia. Ada pun dampak positif yang dapat dihadirkan antara lain :

- Di perbolehkannya bahasa Indonesia untuk menjadi bahasa komunikasi nasional dan menyebabkan bahasa Indonesia mengukuhkan diri sebagai bahasa nasional.

- Dalam bidang ekonomi didirikannya kumyai yaitu koperasi yang bertujuan untuk kepentingan bersama.

- Pembentukan strata masyarakat hingga tingkat paling bawah yaitu rukun tetangga (RT)

- Diperkenalkan suatu sistem baru bagi pertanian yaitu line system (sistem pengaturan bercocok tanam secara efisien) yang bertujuan untuk meningkatkan produksi pangan.

- Dibentuknya BPUPKI dan PPKI untuk mempersiapkan kemerdekaan Indonesia. Dari sini muncullah ide Pancasila.

- Jepang dengan terprogram melatih dan mempersenjatai pemuda-pemuda Indonesia demi kepentingan Jepang pada awalnya, namun oleh pemuda hal ini dijadikan modal untuk berperang.

- Dalam pendidikan dikenalkannya sistem Nipon sentris dan diperkenalkannya kegiatan upacara dalam sekolah.

B. Dampak Negatif Pendudukan Jepang

Selain dampak positifnya tadi diatas, Jepang juga membawa dampak negatif yang luar biasa antara lain :

  • Penghapusan semua organisasi politik
  • Romusha
  • Krisis ekonomi yang sangat parah : hal ini dikarenakan dengan disalurkannya uang pendudukan secara besar-besaran sehingga menyebabkan terjadinya inflasi.
  • Akibat dari self sufficiency yang terputusnya hubungan antar daerah
  • Pembatasan pers sehingga tidak ada pers yang independen, semuanya dibawah pengawasan Jepang.
  • Terjadinya kekacauan situasi dan kondisi yang parah seperti perampokan, pemerkosaan dan lain-lain.
  • Pelarangan terhadap buku-buku berbahasa Belanda dan Inggris yang menyebabkan pendidikan yang lebih tinggi terasa mustahil.
  • Banyak guru-guru yang dipekerjakan sebagai pejabat-pejabat pada masa itu yang menyebabkan kemunduran standar pendidikan secara tajam.

Masa Pendudukan Jepang

Masa Pendudukan Jepang Tentara jepang berhasil memenangkan pertempuran di Pasifik melawan tentara sekutu. Kemudian, mereka terus bergerak ke selatan memasuki wilayah Asia Tenggara, tidak terkekecuali Indonesia. Asia untuk Asia; itulah yang ada dibenak mereka

1. penyerbuan Tentara Jepang ke Asia Tenggara

Pada tanggal 7 Desember 1941, tentara Jepang secara mendadak mengadakan serangan terhadap pangkalan Angkatan Laut Amerika di Pearl Harbour, Hawai. Lima jam setelah peristiwa itu, Pemerintah Hindia Belanda mengumumkan perang kepada Jepang.

Jepang ke Asia Tenggara mula-mula ditujukkan ke Hongkong. Walaupun Inggris mengadakan perlawanan, tetapi tidak berlangsung lama. Pada tanggal 25 Desember 1941, Hongkong resmi diduduki oleh Jepang. Penyerbuan selanjutnya ditujukkan terhadap Malaysia yang merupakan pusat pertahanan Inggris yang vital. Inggris mempertahankan Malaysia secara mati-matian, tetapi akhirnya berhasil dilumpuhkan pada bulan Februari 1942. serangan berikutnya dilancarkan ke Jepang ke wilayah Birma. Akhirnya Jepang berhasil menguasai Birma pada bulan Mei 1942.

Daerah yang menjadi serangan berikutnya adalah Filipina. Tentara Jepang yang dipimpin oleh Jendral Masaharu Homma mendapat perlawanan yang hebat dari tentara Amerika Serikat dibawah komandan Jendral Douglas Mac Arthur. Namun, lambat laun pertempuran pun tidak seimbang, maka Presiden Rooselvelt memerintahkan Mac Arthur mengundurkan diri ke Australia. Sebelum meninggalkan Filipina, Mac Arthur berucap, “I shall return” (saya akan kembali). Guna mengantisipasi serangan Jepang, negara-negara sekutu di Asia Tenggara setelah membentuk komando gabungan dengan nama Abdacom (American, British, Dutch, Australian Command). Komandan tertingginya dijabat oleh Marsekal Sir Archibald Wavell (Inggris), komandan angkatan laut adalah Laksamana Thomas C. Harth (Amerika), komandan angkatan darat adalah Letnan Jendral Hein Ter Poorten (Belanda), dan komandan angkatan udara adalahMarsekal Richard E,C. Pierce (Australia).

Markas besar Abdacom berada di Lembang (Jawa Barat), sedangkan markas besar Angkatan Lautnya di Surabaya. Untuk pertahanan di laut, sekutu membagi daerah perairan Asia Tenggara atas tiga bagian. Wilayah barat, dimulai dari Laut Cina Selatan, Laut Hindia, dan Singapura, merupakan tanggung jawab Inggris. Wilayah perairan Makasar terus ke timur menjadi tanggung jawab Amerika dan Australia, sedangkan Laut Jawa menjadi tanggung jawab Belanda.

Abdacom memiliki sejumlah kelemahan, yaitu:

a. Jumlah tentaranya tidak memadai dibandingkan dengan jumlah tentara Jepang.

b. Mereka tidak pernah mengdakan latihan bersama. Sistem perang maupun sistem komandonya masing-masing berbeda. Sebaliknya, pihak Jepang memiliki tentara dalam jumlah besar. Mereka dibawah satu komando terlatih dan memiliki semangat bushido yang tinggi.

Dalam serangannya terhadap Sekutu di Laut Cina Selatan, kapal Inggris Prince of Wales dan Repulse berhasil ditenggelamkan oleh 50 pembom berani mati Jepang. Dan akhirnya setelah peristiwa itu Abdacom berantakan, komandan tertinggi yaitu Sir Archibald Wavell akhirnya terpaksa meninggalkan Indonesia karena sudah tidak bisa dipertahankan lagi dan meningkir ke India untuk mempertahankan India.

2. Penyerbuan Tentara Jepang ke Indonesia

Dalam serangannya ke Indonesia, tentara Jepang memperoleh kemajuanyang sangat cepat. Secara gemilang, Jepang menduduki Tarakan pada tanggal 11 Januari 1942, Palembang pada tanggal 14 Januari, Manado pada tanggal 17 Januari, Balikpapan pada tanggal 22 Januari, Pontianak pada tanggal 22 Februari, dan Bali pada tanggal 26 Februari 1942.

Dalam upaya merebut pulau Jawa, Jepang membentuk Operasi Gurita. Gurita Barat dimulai dari Indo-Cina melalui Kalimantan Utara dengan sasaran Pulau Jawa, sedangkan Gurita Timur dimuai dari Filipina melalui selat Makasar menuju Jawa Tengah dan Jawa Timur. Operasi Gurita Barat tidak mengalami kesulitan mendarat di Eretan (Indramayu) dan Banten, sedangkan Gurita Timur harus menghadapi Sekutu dalam pertempuran laut dekat Balikpapan (Kalimantan Timur). Juga di Laut Jawa (The Battle of the Java Sea) terutama diperairan antara Bawean, Tuban, dan Laut Rembang berlangsung pertempuran selama 7 jam pada tanggal 27 Februari1942.

Untuk menghindari semakin banyak korban, terutama keluarga-keluarga Belanda yang semakin banyak memadati daerah Kalijati, Belanda terpaksa menyerah kalah terhadap Jepang pada tnggal Maret 1942 dan menandatangani perjanjian Kalijati. Perjanjian itu ditandatangani bersama oleh Tjarda van Starkenborgh Starchouwer (Gubernur Jendral Hindia-Belanda) dan Jendral Hitoshi Imamura (Koman Gurita Barat) dari Jepang serta Letnan Jendral Heindrik Ter Poorten (Pnglima Tentara Belanda).

2. Kebijakan Politik Jepang pada Awal Pedudukan

Organisasi-organisasi yang dibentuk untuk kepentingan Militer Jepang itu adalah sebagai berikut:

a. Gerakan Tiga A

Gerakan Tiga A adalah organisasi yang mula-mula dibentuk dengan semboyan: Nippon Cahaya Asia, Nippon Pemimpin Asia, Nippon Pelindung Asia. Jepang mampu sebagai Cahaya (penerang), Pemimpin, dan Pelindung bagi negara-negara Asia lainnya. Dan ternyata Gerakan Tiga A tidak bertahan lama karena tidak mendapat simpati rakyat.

b. Pusat Tenaga Rakyat (Putera)

Untuk menarik simpati rakyat, pemerintah militer Jepang menawarkn kerja sama dengan para pemimpin indonesia. Oleh karenanya, tokoh-tokoh pergerakan Nasional, seperti Ir. Soekarno, Drs. Moh Hatta, dan Sultan Syahir dibebaskan. Para pemimpin bangsa Indonesia itu bersedia bekerja sama dengan pemerintah militer Jepang. Dengan adanya persetujuan kerja sama, dibentuklah organisasi baru bernama Putera (Pusat Tenaga Rakyat). Organisasi ini dipimpin oleh empat serangkai, yaitu Ir. Soekarno, Drs. Moh Hatta, K.H. Mas Mansyur, dan Ki Hajar Dewantara.

Pusat tenaga Rakyat yang dibentu pada 16 April 1945. organisasi ini disusun sengan pimpinan pusatnya di Jakarta. Organisasi-organisasi profesi yang menjadi anggota Putera, antara lain: Persatuan Guru Indonesia, Perkumpulan Pegawai Pos, Telegraf, dan Radio, Isteri Indonesia, Barisan Banteng, Badan Perantara Pelajar-pelajar Indonesia, dan Ikatan Sport Indonesia.

c. Jawa Hokokai

Dengan alasan Potera lebih menguntungkan Indonesia, Pemerintah militer Jepang membentuk Organisasi baru, yaitu Jawa Hokokai (Himpunan Kebaktian Jawa). Alasan pembentukan Jawa Hokokai adalah agar Indonesia dihimpun tenaganya lahir dan batin untuk digalang kebaktiannya sesuai dengan hokoseisyen (semangat kebaktian). Di dalam tradisi Jepang ada tiga dasar utama, yaitu rela mengorbankan diri, mempertebal persahabatan, dan mengerjakan sesuatu harus menghasilkan bukti. Pimpinan organisasi ini berada ditangan Gunseikan (kepala pemerintah militer) dan ditiap derah dipimpin oleh Syucokan (gubernur/residen).

Jawa Hokokai terdiri dari berbagai macam hokokai profesi diantaranya Izi Hokokai (Himpunan Kebaktian Dokter), Kyoiku Hokokai (Himpunan Kebaktian Pndidik), Fujinkai (Organisasi Wanita), dan Ke imin Bunko Syidosyo (Pusat Budaya).

d. Chou Singi-In

Memsuki awal tahun 1943 Jepang mulai melemah. Mereka mengalami kekalahan beruntun di berbagi front pertempuran. Pada tanggal 8 Januari 1943, Perdana Menteri Tojo mengumumkan secara resmi bahwa Filipina dan Birma akan memperoleh kemerdekaannya pada tahun itu juga, sedangkan mengenai Indonesia tidak disinggung sama sekali. Pernyataan itu dapat menyinggung perasaan kaum nasionalis dan rakyat Indonesia umumnya. Oleh karena itu, Perdana Menteri Tojo menganggap perlu mengirim Menteri Urusan Asia Timur Raya, Aoki, ke Jakarta awal bulan Mei 1943. Aoki adalah Menteri Jepang pertama kali yang ada di Indonesia.

Sehubungan dengan pertemuan tokoh-tokoh empat serangkai dengan Menteri Aoki itulah, maka pada tanggal 7 Juli 1943, Tojo datang ke Jakarta.

Kedatangan Jepang di Indonesia dan Negara Asia lainnya memiliki maksud dan tujuan tertentu.Maksud kedatangan Jepang ke Indonesia adalah karena landasan riil dan idiil yang dimiliki oleh bangsa Jepang. Landasan riil ini antara lain karena adanya ledakan penduduk Jepang sehingga dibutuhkan tempat baru, kurangnya bahan mentah bagi industrialisasi Jepang , dan adanya pembatasan imigrasi ke Amerika dan Australia akibat kecurigaan adanya bahaya kuning.Sedangkan landasan idiilnya adalah ajaran Shintoisme yang dianut Jepang tentang Hokkaichu ,yaitu ajaran tentang kesatuan umat manusia. Jepang sebagai negara yang maju ingin mempersatukan bangsa-bangsa di Asia di bawah Kesatuan Asia Timur Raya sehingga Jepang pada awalnya mendapat banyak simpati sebagai saudara tua di antara bangsa Asia lainnya. Untuk menyukseskan ekspansinya Jepang menggunakan banyak taktik antara lain dengan mengebom Pearl Harbor agar memutus kekuatan Amerika Serikat di Asia-Pasifik serta memudahkan untuk menguasai wilayah lainnya di Asia termasuk Indonesia. Selain itu untuk menambah kekuatan Jepang juga menggabungkan diri dengan Jerman dan Italia yang juga terlibat dalam Perang Dunia II. Persekutuan itu dikenal dengan sebutan Poros Roberto (Roma-Berlin-Tokyo). &n bsp; Jepang pun mulai mengadakan aksi gempuran-gempuran dalam menguasai wilayah dan pada akhirnya Jepang pun berhasil merebut Indonesia dari kekuasaan Belanda. Keberadaan Jepang di Indonesia tidaklah lama, namun banyak sekali kebijakan-kebijakan yang dibuat Jepang di Indonesia baik dalam bidang pemerintahan,ekonomi, sosial-politik,dan lainnya. Dampak pendudukan Jepang di Indonesia adalah sebagai berikut. • Keuntungan: 1. Kesempatan bagi bangsa Indonesia untuk menjadi birokrat. 2. Bahasa Indonesia dijadikan sebagai bahasa pengantar dalam dunia pendidikan. 3. Status sosial pribumi mengalami kenaikan. 4. Adanya kesempatan bagi rakyat Indonesia untuk memperoleh pendidikan / bersekolah. 5. Dengan berdirinya PETA, para pemuda dapat memperoleh pendidikan militer dan penanaman jiwa nasionalis. 6. dsb. ; • Kerugian : &nb sp; &nbs p; 1. Semua organisasi politik dilarang untuk beraktivitas. &nb sp; &nbs p; 2. Kesengsaraan rakyat karena adanya Romusha. &n bsp; &nb sp; 3. Kontrol media cetak dan elektronik yang kuat. ; 4. Alam Indonesia diekspoitasi secara besar-besaran. &n bsp; &nb sp; 5. Banyak para pejuang yang dihukum mati. ; 6. Pemerintahan Jepang yang kejam karena berbau fascis (adanya polisi &nbs p; ; militer yang kejam) &nbs p; ; 7. Banyak wanita Indonesia yang dijadikan Jogunianfu. ; 8. dsb. Di awal tahun 1945 ,Jendral McArthur ,Panglima Komando Pertahanan Pasifk Barat Daya melancarkan siasat lompat katak (leapfrogging) untuk membalas Jepang .Satu per satu wilayah yang dikuasai Jepang baik di Asia maupun Pasifik berhasil direbut kembali oleh sekutu .Tidak lama kemudian Amerika Serikat membom Hiroshima dan Nagasaki pada tanggal 6 Agustus dan 9 Agustus 1945. Kedua peristiwa pemboman tersebut membuat Jepang mau tidak mau harus menyerah, apalagi Amerika Serikat yang termasuk dalam Sekutu telah mengeluarkan ultimatum bagi Jepang agar menyerah. Pada akhirnya Jepang menyerah tanpa syarat kepada Sekutu pada tanggal 15 Agustus 1945 (tanggal 14 Agustus 1945 waktu New York).Dengan demikian Perang Pasifik berakhir dan kekuasaan Jepang di Indonesia pun berakhir.

The Journey..

This path,
Wasn't meant to be touched... The bitterness placed its hands upon it..
And this place we left behind contains a recollection of the deep explorations and admirations,
Never once I would of thought I'd have...
I still feel the heat of the burning candle between you and I..
Do you still feel it? That heat.. I call sweet sorrow..

The burning flame..
I truly wish to never be blown away,
A soothing touch will put away the misery..
Sorrow may be eternal,
Especially if true feelings aren't exposed...

by MoonViolet


If I, Should I?

If I climb starways to heaven, will I miss out the stars?
If I just lay right here, who's to stop the cars?
If I meet with your skin, who will see my scars?
Is this really my cage, when I can see no bars?

Should I take the first step, or should I sit and wait?
Should I turn towards, or quicken up my gait?
Should I question why, or accept it as my fate?
Is the time now right, or is it far too late?

Old Fashion, still

You broke your watch and you went still,
and the sidewalks weren't very gentle.
Stepped a little over ten pills
think that you might be going mental.
'Cause you think you are running away now
thinking you got away now
from those memories, in all of those nights
That's when things were all electric,
remembering why you weren't dead
And that's when it all whirled apart.

Never really ever had much,
Always wrote down in pencil,
But never ever erased still
'Cause you always had things memorized
from the day you were dreaming of it all
From last fall to the next winter,
Never really had anyone to call

Remember when things were read 'til?
Always thought you had some common nice class
when times were all getting feverish so fast
you thought they were all sentimental
but as the murks of all men steels,
Never notice how florescent they really were
Always thinking you never needed a cure.
But you never really bit, no,
Perhaps things would deal well

In your dreams, several of them remained
Never had you in featured at all
And did you know? Oh no.

Could you ever walk without heels?
Always grasping to the curb's vines
falling besides the Grey's mind
maybe you should not have used a pencil,
knowing that it could be fatal.
Lots in common with your night dress
always kept on top of paper watches
left alone with little tuxedos
Tearing up as some gentlemen left you.
Holding up this trivial crisis as you had long ago.

In your dreams, how many of those He-Man
ever held you in their free hands?
And didn't you wish, you could be one.
One of those, those who never let go.

The Death of Hope

I wish I never met you
I wish I never kissed you
And told you that I missed you.

I wish I didn’t write stupid poems
To try and convince you to be with me
I wish I wouldn’t stop by your house just because I could.

What are we doing here
You fuck with boys’ minds
But why do you keep me around?

I wanted you
Now, I can’t even be in the same room with you
Just go.

Don’t talk to me
Don’t visit me
Just disappear

Leave my heart
Leave my soul
And everything about me as a whole.

Get me another drink
So I can wash your memory out of my veins
Kill some cells to leave this hell
It’s the only thing that helps.

I wish every star would explode and make me go deaf
And I wish the moon’s light would soon fade to black
So that I cannot see or hear
Maybe then I’ll forget the sound of your heartbeat under the night sky.

I wish I wasn’t so stupid
To stick around while you cried over some asshole who didn’t want you
I wish I didn’t care so fucking much about your problems.

I wish I never told you how much I loved you
And all those times I spent comforting you...
Were just never quite enough.

Why you!
This was never supposed to be
Just stop caring and leave.

We go in circles anyway
Progress is an illusion for what resembles hope
I wish I could hurt you.
Scar you.
Quit you.
Leave you.

You never loved me…
Only my presence to help you forget your pain
Used me up, and now I have no pity left for you.

If you loved me, then you should have caught me when I fell for you
…For a whole year
Now my love for you is lying dead at the bottom of a dark trench.

I wish we never took so many pictures
Ones that I never should have taken
What were we thinking?

It took the death of hope to let you go
And now I finally know…

Stay cold and alone in your bed
Without the warmth of the blue jacket
Or the sweet aroma of my cologne

I hope you hurt just as much as I do
I hope your guilt eats you alive
And you grasp what was lost

I hope when your eyes visit the moon
You realize the distance back to your heart
And remember how far I loved you.

I wish I could forget you
And everything we ever had
Don’t you get it?

I don’t care about you.
I don’t care about your needs.
I don’t care about your feelings.
But I do.

Maybe one day our hearts will bring us back home
Right here to the place where we’d meet
Where hope and dreams walk hand in hand
Where reality meets actuality
Where love is the only thing that matters.
And where the death of hope becomes the birth of new possibilities.

Tears Behind My Eyes

When you look into my eyes they may seem to be empty,
My eyes are full of tears, although you don't see any.

So many times my heart has been filled with pain,
And deep behind my eyes are pockets of tears that are ready to fall like rain.

I know at times I may appear to be tough,
but sometimes to bear the pain and heartache can be too much.

Sometimes I try and hide the tears that I cried just last night,
Tears that soaked my pillow wet long past mornings first light.

I know how it feels to be pushed away by someone you love,
I'm not afraid to admit my tears because I know that there's a far greater love, one that comes from above.

Happiness too will be mine, so until then I'll keep my my head up and eyes towards the skies,
And never allowing anyone to see the tears hidden behind my eyes.

No More.

Plagued by heart break
Lost in memories of the light
These days are so dark
Black, I live only to fight,

Against Haunting thoughts
horrific dreams,
Where I die every time.
They say that your dreams outline what you want.

So, I want to suffer
To die alone and afraid.
It's true after what happened between us
I don't feel I deserve to live

But, I was never one to have the last say
That was your job
To make sure every thing was right
every thing was perfect

As perfect as you were
But now that my half doesn't match your's
Where does that leave me
Who is going to want some one that is perfect for you.

by CrimsonRain


Black Storm

I know, it hurts
the storm has come and gone
leaving you and I
broken in ruins but this cant be where i die

I needed someone that protected me from my self
and you never could
and so i move on from this place
with a heavy heart all alone

The memories held me down for so long
because i couldn't just let go of you
and it still hurts
but i know now what i must do to survive this place

There is nothing left
and i desperately rebuild my life
from the broken pieces
you left of my heart on the floor

Time is no friend as he burns the wound shut
and the tears they flow like blood from a cut
But i need to be strong with one foot after another
i just have to move on

Because you’ve left me to rot all alone.

by CrimsonRain


I Can't Stop Crying Today

I can't stop crying today
My world walked out the door
With her she took my heart
For I will love no more

The hours passed like seconds
When our two hearts were one
The seconds passed like hours
After she said that she was done

She was going to love me forever
At least that is what she said
Her heart belonged to someone else
That is what her letter read

I no longer live in color
My world is black and white
I always wonder what she is doing
As I lie awake at night

I hope tomorrow is better
This is what I pray
But right now my heart is broken
I can't stop crying today

by Brandon


The Unsent Poem

Favorite song plays in the background
Every lyric reminding me of you
Conversations running through my head
So many things that I wish you knew

Everytime that you brought me happiness
I just never quite knew what to say
I was afraid to say the wrong thing
Thinking it would make you go away

Every night I did the same old thing
I wrote poem after poem on my bed
I love you written a hundred ways
Because of fear, they were never said

The stack of poems stands tall
Not one ever making it to you
You simply walked away from me
And a love that you never knew

If only I would have taken a chance
I know that you would still be here
At night I still write you many poems
Only now the ink is mixed with tears

by Brandon


Crying In A Corner.

Sitting here starring at a wall,
Waiting for the day that you call,
I want to talk to you,
Let alone be with you,
Sitting here in a corner can't you see,
All these tears aren't good for me

I would give up everything,
All of my dreams and my friends,
I would just enjoy being around you,
Not just for love,
I may love you,
And I know it isn't in return,
Now I'm crying here,
My heart starts to burn.

Roaring in flames,
Holes and knots in my heart,
Talking about broken hearts are menial,
For mine is a ball of strings.

These lies,
Cripple my heart,
These lies,
Stop me from feeling,
These lies,
Completely break me.

I was told to be happy,
I cannot with myself,
All alone,
My heart is turning to stone,
The marrow in my bones settle,
All of it is going down through the phone,
What the fuck is up with this world,
My world...

My world of death,
All my friends and loved in a room,
They start to fall one by one,
What has my life become?
Holding a guitar tempted to strum,
To the beat my heart refuses to give,
But to turn the rest of me.

My heart and feelings no longer function,
It's all just one conjunction of lies and threats.
I want you and no-one else,
This is when I cling to myself,
But I have nothing to cling to...

"Quinton,
Are you crying?"

by Heartless1903


Ozymandias

Ozymandias
my heroic fool.
You selfishly took my bullet.

You were my lover and my friend,
Ozymandias
If you only knew,
My whole world was you.

with every touch,
my heart raced,
I only wish i could have taken your place.

You loved me,
from the very start.
If only I'd known sooner,
our love could have lasted longer.

Our love was not meant to be,
so we were torn apart
with that shiny bullet,
through your heart.

What wrong did we do in this world,
other than to dare be different.
Our hearts beat like everyone elses,
so why do people think that they couldn't love and feel pain.
We're all the same,
though in our looks we range.

by BloodStained


A Funeral Of The Hearts

Monochromatic stains,
perpetual suffering.

There's no end in sight
to this everlasting blight.

Mountains of ash,
freshly scorched dreams.

Lead weighted,
sinks to dismal.
All doors close,
yet none seem to open.

Sit and wait,
Utterly isolated,

Reminiscing begins,
pleasant pictures of the past.

Things seemed so eternal,
magic frozen in time.

Foreshadowing life,
Mind looks toward the future

Hollow, in desolate sorrow,
grim future in sight.

Forlorn souls
become untwined

Love lost...
A funeral of the hearts

by HallowReveries

My Love for you will never die

I`m thinking about what you said
And it makes me wish that I were dead
You only loved me when you were mine
But I`ll love you till the end of time
If you fall for someone else
It will make my life a living hell
My love for you will never die
Even if you aren't mine
And when you fall for me again
I`ll be hanging from a rope loving you while I`m dead.

by BleedingXangel

Prison

Cast my thoughts across the land
Watch me ebb slowly from the sand
Wring me dry, hang me up
Isn't my love big enough?

Sleep with tears upon your cheeks
Brush me from the torrid weeks
That I left you, all alone
Bar me from your empty home

Fling a fishing net off-shore
Pull me in, shut the door
Satisfy your salty hands
Wrap me up in iron bands
Paint pictures of a scarlet love
Watch the world from high above
Spinning in your holy spire
Leave me in my dirty mire

Leonard Cohen had it right:
Love is a grey fading light
Even with all my hateful might
I'll never escape your bright night

by xgreenx

...Remember My Words...

Another day,
Another line.
You choose him,
time after time.

I'll write yet another,
poem about why I'm sad.
I'm so sick of it all,
I miss feeling glad.

I'm tired of writing,
these poems that never put me at ease.
If someone knows the way out of this heartache,
Don't he’s state to tell me, please.

People say "You'll be okay",
And smile right at you.
And your thinking," Yeah right,
you don't know what I'm going through".

Do you know what it's like to feel,
like you'll never feel happy?
Or what it's like to feel like you have to scratch your eyes out,
Just so you couldn't see?.

Even as I write these words,
my breath is filled with sighs.
Because they remind me of you,
so I slowly begin to cry.

It's not fair,
this feeling that's left me bare.
It's not fair that I'm still missing you,
and you don't even care.

You made that obvious,
when you let my world turn dark.
I stare lifelessy at everyone,
On my heart, you left a mark.

My poem is done,
my feelings have been told.
I hope you remember my words,
Til' the day you are grey and old...
