POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
I Guess I'll Take the Blame.
I'd like to know that she was mine,
but I don't even look her in the eyes.
Scared of being reprimanded, maybe....
Or maybe scared of seeing the lines?
Because I know she doesn't get much sleep,
and I know that it's because of me.
The bruises on her body,
from her wild idea of fun.
In an accidental way, they're mine.
They came from all those lies I spun.
I guess I'll take the blame,
since I know this happened because of me.
Here's a little secret,
and would you take it to the grave?
I hate myself for what I've done,...
but I don't even look her in the eyes.

I Left Her Empty.
I breathed sympathetic promises,
I told her pretty little lies….
I wanted to hold her longer,
to see the love inside her eyes.
Now I see her through a veil,
behind the smudges of my tears....
She tells me things that break my heart,
said she would keep me through the years.
Now I guess I understand,
it was me who did her wrong....
Poor girl doesn't even know,
I hear her inside every song.

My Meteor Shower.
I watch the meteors fall to the ground,
and the Earth, in turn, split and shake.
The temperature rises alongside my heartbeat,
and I have nothing to do but wait.
If the stars were visible from this polluted sky,
I'd make a wish on the first one, for you and I....
And I'd pull you into my arms,
I'd run my fingers through your long brown hair....
This was always the end of the world,
so why should we end it in our own despair?
I could stare into your eyes, as dark as the sky,
and I'd watch meteors fall in the teardrops you...

Get Me Dizzy.
My heart begins to stutter,
its beat, compelled to rise....
A quick glance from beneath those lashes,
flashes me those bright blue eyes.
Words swim out of those sweet lips,
they wrap around my brain....
They squeeze out all my sanity,
composure, hard to maintain.
She laughs, and I hear windchimes,
her smile lights the dark....
Her beauty makes me lose it,
in me, she strikes a spark.
Even with those dizzying traits,
around her, all my thoughts are spun....
With that brilliant glow surrounding,
I give in, she's won.

One Fatal Glance.
How can she do this,
with only a glance?
Send me waves of emotion,
make my heart start to dance..?
Eyes like the sea,
and a voice like the waves....
I'd bet money she knows,
she's the beauty I crave.
My fingers twitch at her sight,
the hand I'd kill to hold....
She has almost no clue,
that she's worth more than gold.
The lips that I'd kiss,
if you gave me the chance....
The way she wakes up my soul,
with just one fatal glance.

Mirrors on the Ceiling.
Maybe I'm just thoughtless,
hopefully immature,
I play life as a game,
and this game is my cure.
If nothing matters,
and I'm some youth in a dream,
then what could I ruin?
If this is not what it seems....
All the people I've disappointed,
and the family I let down,
none of it's real....
That idea keeps me sound.
With any luck, I can wake.
Wake up from this dream,
I'll be just a child,
none of this as it seems....

So Truly Sorry.
You're so much more than just a pretty girl,
who can stop my heart.
I'm sure you've heard one million times,
but it's breaking me apart....
I'd love to make you my only one,
if you played along....
I'm sorry for all these drastic measures,
still your laughter is my song.
I don't want to move too fast for you,
I'd simply kill to make you mine.
I'm truly kicking myself for mentioning it,
for trying to steal your time.
You must be shaking your head,
because I'm just too much....
I hate that I'm rushing,
blame it on this...
who can stop my heart.

If Only.
I would hold you to my chest,
the beat would be for you,
if we lived in a perfect world,
but the world has been unglued.
Perfect moments fall from shelves,
hit the floors to become problems....
I must deal with them before you,
and from that, all my anger stems.
Your skin would brush on mine,
our hair would kiss the pillowcases.
If the world would let us be,
if it weren't trying to phase us.
My feelings are real though,
and my trials are true.
Tell me it's not a waste,
all this time I'm giving to you?

Prettier Than Autumn.
Unappreciated,
misunderstood.
Beautifully lonely....
I wish that I could
take her in my arms,
hide her from the world....
She makes my heartbeat stutter,
but she has stories to be told.
I know she's been abandoned,
mistreated, misused....
She cannot see her glory,
but if I got to choose,
I'd shield her from the pain,
catch her when she falls....
Kiss her lips in secret,
alone behind the walls.
I'd bottle up her laughter,
and I'd play it like a song....
She doesn't know how much I mean this,
'cause...
misunderstood.

Don't Pretend.
You have no way of knowing
what the view is like from here.
Down the barrel of this pistol,
I swear I'm seeing clear.
You hate me for me,
the most honest thing you've done.
Now we can lie about the end,
I'll pretend you haven't won.
I've given up inside,
but I'm pretending to be strong.
Like when we were little,
begging only to be tall.
Now I'm begging for apologies,
and you're pretending it's a joke.
But dear, this game is over....
Now you must play alone.

My New Fascination.
I never had the chance to hold her,
or to feel her lips on mine.
Never once did I sleep near her,
our fingers never intertwined.
How could she feel this close,
when I know she's miles away....
How does she put that smile on my face,
with hardly saying anything?
Thinking back at how we met,
I sort of find it humorous....
We had this rage for folly reasons,
know I'm dying for one kiss.
If she could see inside my head,
she could use it as a mirror....
If she turned and walked away,
she would complete my newest fear.

Sweet Perfection.
She vanishes like a puff of smoke,
the last thing I see, those eyes.
She can pretend she isn't beautiful,
but she knows it's just a lie.
I love to make her blush,
but I know she loves another....
I'm not trying to replace that,
now that my feelings are uncovered.
These words will never be enough,
Aphrodite could never compete.
She's fairly divine and glorious,
I'm lucky we got to meet.
If I had the chance,
I might show her what love really is.
I know I might steal her heart,
with one gentle kiss.
