POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Finally Apart
When the sun goes down,
and you think about that day.
I hope you cry if you catch
a glimpse of my face.
I havent been the same.
My lifes no longer a drag
and losing you is to blame.
Oh I thank God for that night.
The night I finally closed my eyes
without you on my mind.
I've been happy ever since.
I dont ever wanna be like that again.
Though all of this is true,
I still felt akward when I saw you.
Then especially when you looked at me,
smiled, waved, and said hi.
It made no sense so I ask myself...

Mr. Right
Since I was a little girl,
I've wanted to find Mr. Right.
But what was I looking for?
A man with deep brown eyes
that would reach inside my soul
and wrap its warmth around my heart?
Or one with dreamy blue eyes that would make
me fall again everytime I looked in them?
Who has curly hair that
I would rustle my hands through?
Or straight hair that
would dangle and drap over his face?
Well now im alot wiser and I have a
better idea of what im looking for.
Someone who makes me happy and
loves me...

Shane
His pale skin, beautiful and flawless,
shined off the light from the chandelier.
He made his way to the loudge.
It looked as if he were gliding.
He sat in a modern sleek chair.
His fingers gracefully taped on the marble table,
creating a repetitive beat out of his patters.
I am sitting on this leather couch.
Headphones full blast,
listening to Rise Against and My Chemical Romance.
I was invited to this party,
but initially not going to go.
My boyfriend hasnt even realized im here.
I wore this satin red dress,

Life's end
Attempting to escape fate
really isn't worth it.
A waste of my precious time.
Trying to avoid death
may only draw it closer.
Shortening life's "climb".
Im not scared of the end,
Im concerned about after.
What happens when I'm gone?
Is there a Heaven?
Is there a Hell?
Either way, it's over.
Will I be with the one I love?
If not, I'll break free and fly up to you.
But you.
I wouldn't risk you.
Everything has an end
(except my love for you)
and death just happens to be
life's end.

Question of my Life.
I can feel my body shake.
Hands are reaching out at me.
I scream and yell,
but it's likes nobody hears me.
They tie me tight
to this freezing metal chair.
I bite the rope
it's way too thick.
There's no point now,
no reason to try.
Well only one.
The reason im here in the first place
is the reason to try and get out.
The one I love
who drives me insane.
Why am I here?
I've gone crazy.
Why? you ask.
Because of you.
What you put me through
I dont even think you know you do.
Im broken...

Midnight Sky.
Snickering at my shivering body,
You wrap a blanket around me.
We're up in the snow-covered mountains,
Rocky and rough terrain.
It's at least 20 degrees
Feeling even colder from the chill of the breeze.
Our tent popped up,
Being shaken by this wreckless wind.
The stars in the sky are all aligned.
Coyotes howling in the night.
There are trees,
Naked of leaves.
Frosted with snow and ice.
Animals are in hibernation, no doubt.
Saving up on their food.
Sleeping through the winter.
Sometimes I wish we...

You're the only thing keeping me alive,
you're the one tearing me apart.
You're breaking my heart.
And I dont want to let you see me cry.
I dont want you to think it fake
And just for attention.
So the tears will fall
When and where you cant see.
It's sad because you should be the
one wiping them.
But you're not.
Your're the one causing them.
It's impossible not to love you.
Even when im full of hate.
But you open the door,
Then shut it in my face.
I should be saying,
"Im sick of this....

Evil Angel.
Red eyes,
Filled with hate.
Heartless, souless.
With a dark and sinister fate.
Your whispered words
Fill my ears.
Convincing lies
Bring me to tears.
I cry for the good
Instead of these maleficent times.
The morbid ways
And violent crimes.
I just want happiness
And a positive life.
I only want to live
Free from strife.
Were you sent by the Devil
To arise Hell on Earth?
All the good and the sacred
Burnt into ashes and scattered on the hearth.
This world is going up in flames.
Yet it's crumbling down....

Wrong, But Invincible
Everything turned dark and black.
Spirits rose from their graves,
Haunting me,
Taunting me.
The ice cold ground laughed
Evilly at me whileIran and ran.
The trees extending their arm-like
Roots and vines.
Trying to capture me.
Lost souls flew all around me
Like a sworm of flies.
"Come, follow us."
They try to persuade me.
I just shout and keep running.
Hoping there's an end to this nonsense.
I could see the wind.
With a grimace on it's face
It swirrled all around me.
Then violently whipped me to the...

Invisible.
If I walk by you.
Just steps away,
The majority of the time,
You would say hi.
Or say my name.
Then there are those times
Where you dont even acknowledge me.
Where Im almost. . .
Invisible.
It's not because you dont see me.
I know you do.
You just choose not to make contact with me.
And I wonder why that is.
Cause you say you love me
And I know you do
-Of course not as much asI love you-
So wouldnt you want to talk to me?
I knowI do.
I try to use every single chance i get.

Waiting.
I close my eyes,
Just to see you.
I stop thinking,
Just to think of you.
I stop listening,
Just to hear you
Yet again.
Hear you in my mind.
You captivate and control me.
You have a power
In where you seem to hypnotize people.
I hate it.
You have the cutest laugh,
Yet your destiny holds
The darkest plans and schemes.
You dont even mean for all
Of this to happen.
It just does.
You have a tendency of making
Someone fall for you
Again and again.
That someone is me.
But I love you without
Being...

You
Time flies,
I've realized that.
Love hurts
That I've learned.
Life's unfair,
Yes, it's true.
But there is still one thing
I havent quite figured out completely yet.
You.
You say one thing,
Yet mean another.
You keep to yourself,
Yet blurt out everything.
You tell me to go,
Yet beg me to stay.
You want me in your life,
But you say,
"Go away."
I dont know why you play with
My mind.
But trust me you do.
I dont know the reason
For all of this.
I just dont completely get ...
