I too find my poetry to be downright horrid, so feel free to hate @Annabella and @NimbusTheCat
This is the one I wrote last night:

The Superficiality of Love
The sweet chime of church bells, ringing with joy
as two souls vow to love each other
'til death do them part
To cherish and to hold, in sickness and in health
To be honest and true, and to persevere against all odds
The clang of church bells, sending shudders down backs
as two souls chain themselves down
hoping for death to come by, fingers outstretched
to end the misery and pain
The illusion of love now faded, but faded too late
Why confine yourself to a cage?
Forced to live by someone else's rules, by someone else's standards
To provide for someone who you'll never really know
A stranger, silently changing your very being
Turning you into a monster of emotions
Picking petty fights over the most trivial of things
Spitting lie after lie to cover up for the sins
that ooze from the inner depths of their rotten core
And when you realize you want out, you realize too late
for the papers are just an arm's length away
but the love you once felt is long gone

And now I'm just cherry picking from some pretty old ones. I hate them as well, but I guess they were my pride and joy back then.
The Forgotten Tree; A Combined Haiku
Its leaves are lifeless
Alone and reeking of death
The Forgotten Tree
On a remote hill
Distanced from society
Any life destroyed
A sudden god-send
A shaky watering can
A beautiful sight
Many months later
Its leaves and branches have life
Thanks to a kind soul

I don't know what the shit this is but here you go:
Deep Love
(just to clarify, no, this is not based off me)
Your image clouds my mind
But it all just makes no sense
How am I falling for you
How did you cross my fence
How did you break them down
The protective walls I made
How did you catch my eye
And cut me open like a blade
At first nothing seemed right
Nothing easy to comprehend
Then all at once you had me
Too engulfed to try and defend
Like the power of deep sleep
First unhurried, then oh so quick
You swept me off my feet
And had me utterly lovesick
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And then there's whatever demon in my mind that had me write this up:
Sociophobia
A lifetime of hiding in a shell
Forever ringing insecurity's bell
Eternally stuck in life's quicksand
Unable to move, or speak, or stand
Restrained by the critic that hides in all
That sneers at every blunder and fall
Paranoia has locked me in a crate
Sealing me to an insufferable fate
