POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
A Girl on a Swing
A moment, bittersweet, seemed so clear in her mind.
For once, everything slowed down around her,
And she realized she was just a broken girl -
Alone,
Lost,
And scared.
Alone because she wished for the impossible,
Lost somewhere between this world and her own,
And scared that something was wrong with her.
At an early age, she realized she was the only person she could truly count on.
As a child, she learned to take care of herself.
She got so used to doing things on her own,
But she always wanted to know love.
It was the only thing she...

I want you,
I love you.
Leave me alone.
You hurt me.
Desert me…
But please, don’t go.
You bastard,
You coward,
I hate you so.
I tried for you,
I cried for you,
The blade moves so slow.
Hold me,
Console me,
Put me down.
Hug me close,
Fashion a rose
Into a crown…
Lock me away
From the light of day,
I just want to be free.
Don’t ever let me go,
I hate you, though.
I want to see you bleed.
You’re so wonderful.
This razor is dull.
As dull as your blue-green eyes.
I want to taste your lips,...
I love you.
Leave me alone.
You hurt me.
Desert me…
But please, don’t go.

Aberant Soul
Stolen, broken, tossed away -
A heart pieced together with glue.
Outcast, lost, cursed, alone -
There's nothing I can do.
A shell of a body
That's dead inside,
Empty and hollow
But still alive.
Bottled Rage,
Tears, and Blood-
Thin skin holds back
A crimson flood.
Lucifer whispers
In my ear,
"Come to me,
You belong here."
A heart pieced together with glue.
Outcast, lost, cursed, alone -
There's nothing I can do.
A shell of a body
That's dead inside,
Empty and hollow
But still alive.
Bottled Rage,
Tears, and Blood-
Thin skin holds back
A crimson flood.
Lucifer whispers
In my ear,
"Come to me,
You belong here."

Verloren
Leave your dignity at the door,
It won't serve you well in his halls.
Your feelings just don't matter anymore,
It's best not to feel at all.
All things considered, it's not that bad
To a mind too numb to know what it had
Or understand all it has lost.
It won't serve you well in his halls.
Your feelings just don't matter anymore,
It's best not to feel at all.
All things considered, it's not that bad
To a mind too numb to know what it had
Or understand all it has lost.

Ich Habe Dich Geliebt
I still remember perfectly
When I swore on both our lives
That I'd refuse to bear this world
Without you by my side.
Funny how we say such things
And never follow through.
The day I said those words to you,
I really believed it was true.
Lesson learned, I suppose.
I'll not believe such words again.
Looks like the "strongest force there is"
Isn't as strong as we pretend.
I wonder if you'd be happy,
Had I kept my oath and died,
If I'd shown you you're so special
Someone loved you more than life...
