POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Whiskey Kisses
I take a sip from my water bottle
Liquid courage
The vodka doesn't burn anymore
I let my fears dissolve
Dizziness and slurred words replace them
I feel light and warm
I can pretend people want me
Pretend I'm not being judged
The voices all stop
We kiss.
Our alcohol-fueled romance
Slurred 'I love you's and clumsy touches
It keeps me together
It fills the void
It's not real love
But our whiskey kisses are enough
Liquid courage
The vodka doesn't burn anymore
I let my fears dissolve
Dizziness and slurred words replace them
I feel light and warm
I can pretend people want me
Pretend I'm not being judged
The voices all stop
We kiss.
Our alcohol-fueled romance
Slurred 'I love you's and clumsy touches
It keeps me together
It fills the void
It's not real love
But our whiskey kisses are enough

Take me away
So take me away from this fucked up place
You're my paradise
So freeing and safe
Be my relief
Help me forget
Cure this disease
I'm sick with grief
So take me away from this fucked up place
I'm tired of these hypocrites
I miss your embrace
Outta this town
We'll head to LA
We'll live our lives
Take time to play
Hurry up before I lose it
I'm starting not to feel
Save me from this wasteland
You've got me head over heel
So take me away from this fucked up place
Anywhere but here
You're my paradise
So freeing and safe
Be my relief
Help me forget
Cure this disease
I'm sick with grief
So take me away from this fucked up place
I'm tired of these hypocrites
I miss your embrace
Outta this town
We'll head to LA
We'll live our lives
Take time to play
Hurry up before I lose it
I'm starting not to feel
Save me from this wasteland
You've got me head over heel
So take me away from this fucked up place
Anywhere but here

Sadness
I yearn to end it
These voices in my head
The pain
Sadness swallows me
I put the gun to my chest
To my heart which rips me apart
I see the light
So close to death
They won't shed a tear
They'll be mad I stained the carpet
These voices in my head
The pain
Sadness swallows me
I put the gun to my chest
To my heart which rips me apart
I see the light
So close to death
They won't shed a tear
They'll be mad I stained the carpet

Hoping
I hoped for affection.
I'm wrong.
An insane thought
I'm too fractured to be loved.
I'm not perfect enough.
I no longer want to live.
"It gets better", they say.
I won't hold my breath.

Falling
There is this moment
This defining moment when it hits you
You're falling in love
The moment when it hit me
I felt this absolute bliss
I felt the butterflies in my stomach
But a realization hit me
My bliss turned into panic
The butterflies died
Leaving my stomach sour
I had remembered one inevitable fact
All things that fall
Will eventually crash

I had remembered one inevitable fact
All things that fall

Gravity
She loved him more than a warm fireplace on a harsh winter day.
More than her favorite book.
She missed him more than a child misses their teddybear.
She needed him more than a fish needs water.
But he was her warmth on cold days.
She loved the story of them.
He was there when she was scared, and there to comfort her.
And he was all she needed. He was keeping her on the ground, not gravity.
She needed him and he needed her.
He made her smile through her tears. He kept her afloat when she started to drown in her saddess.
She...

Inhale
Light it up
Take a puff
Pass it here
Cause I'm not high enough
Inhale
Its all I need
You
Me
And some nice green weed

Hurt
No bruises, cuts, or scrapes.
I don't wear a cast or a brace.
My wounds are on my soul.
Beaten and in pain.
Not a cast, but a mask of sarcasm and cruelty.
If you catch more flies with honey than vinegar
I'll be vinegar.
Sour and bitter.
I just want to be alone.

Perfection
Being forgotten by someone who won't leave your mind.
Your heart.
Your soul.
As if I don't exist.
Leaves you to wonder if anyone cares.
Everyone wants to be loved.
Maybe I'm not
perfect enough.
Your heart.
Your soul.
As if I don't exist.
Leaves you to wonder if anyone cares.
Everyone wants to be loved.
Maybe I'm not
perfect enough.
