POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Hi, I have been writing off and on since as long as I can remember. I occasionally take a hiatus, but always come back inspired with new poetry each time. I would love to be a published writer someday, but as long as my poetry inspires, I'm happy.
When We Don't Talk For Days
What do you do with yourself,
When we don't talk for days?
Do you still love me when I'm not there?
Do I still mean just as much to you?
When we don't talk for days,
Am I still on your mind,
Or have I been pushed aside?
Just another unimportant thing
That has failed to keep your interest.
Do you feel a little abandoned like I do,
When we don't talk for days?
When we don't talk for days?
Do you still love me when I'm not there?
Do I still mean just as much to you?
When we don't talk for days,
Am I still on your mind,
Or have I been pushed aside?
Just another unimportant thing
That has failed to keep your interest.
Do you feel a little abandoned like I do,
When we don't talk for days?

On-Again/Off-Again
Just when things
Were going so well,
You decide it's time
To put me through hell,
First you can
When it's all fun,
But when feelings grow
He's suddenly the one.
So now we can
Be only friends,
And thus our little
Tryst once again ends.
Next time you decide
That you want to play,
Go somewhere else
And stay away.

Whirlwind
These thoughts swirl around inside my head
Blowing me around this way and that and
Leaving me in this dizzying topsy twirl,
Where I'm once again struggling
To maintain what's the truth
And separate out all of this
Inner self-negativity from
What's actually reality,
And find some hope
And happiness
Once again.

Drifting Listlessly
Drifting listlessly,
Feeling lost
And like something
Is missing,
Unsure what to do
With my life,
Knowing that what
I'm currently doing
Isn't working,
And that time
Keeps slipping
Between my fingers.

Hollowed Heart
A cold wind now blows
Through the chambers of my heart
That your love once filled.
Through the chambers of my heart
That your love once filled.

How do you find your peace again
When the thoughts in your head
Get too loud to be ignored
While you sit alone in your silence?
How do you find what it is
That makes you so much happier
Than you've ever been before,
When you don't know where to go?
I'm just trying to find my happy again
But I don't know where to turn to
And I feel like my time is running out
As that invisible clock ticks away.

The Vicious Cycle of Hate
We are taught
To hate ourselves
For being different
By people
Who were taught
To hate and fear
What is different
Before we’re
Even old enough
To know
We’re being
Indoctrinated.

Conformity
It's a shame that we try so hard to fit in,
Only to be reminded why we never will,
By the various people that are
Only repeating what has been
Forced upon them as well.

Thorned Rose
I love you very intensely,
So much so that it
Leaves me restless
When you're not near.
These feelings are
A double-edged sword.
I'm not sorry that I have them,
But they make things difficult.
Being apart from you
Leaves me feeling
Hollow and listless,
Like part of me is missing.
I have a renewed meaning
And purpose once again,
And a new obsession
Threatening to overwhelm.
I have no regrets though
Because I would rather
Feel this way now than
The emptiness...

Change is Inevitable
Whenever things seem horrible,
Please remember that
It won't always be this way.
Whether a chaotic spree
Or a slow trudge forward,
Change happens to all.
Things will not be
As they are today
Within a year's time.
Sooner or later,
Everything changes
Even if only slightly.
Nothing lasts forever,
Not even forever.
Take in this both
Comfort and warning.

Words No Longer Left Unsaid
There are things
I try to say to you
Over and over again,
But you never
Seem to notice
Much less
Seem to care.
So I'm going
To write down
These things that
Are on my mind,
So I can finally
Say them all
Without you
Just dismissing them
And invaliding
What I'm feeling.

Furze
You moved on
Long before
I finally realized
That I no longer
Have a chance
With you.
When was it that
Those feelings died,
And why has
It taken
Me this long
To see it?
