POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I just don't know.
crying in the ice cream aisle
Teeth digging into my lip
White knuckling the cart
The gelato and ice cream in the fridge
Blurring into swirling color splotches
I cannot let the tears fall here... I can't
So I find myself looking at the dirty ceiling
As if some savior can be found there
Yet the tears cannot help but fall as tears do
On a Sunday afternoon in a grocery store
White knuckling the cart
The gelato and ice cream in the fridge
Blurring into swirling color splotches
I cannot let the tears fall here... I can't
So I find myself looking at the dirty ceiling
As if some savior can be found there
Yet the tears cannot help but fall as tears do
On a Sunday afternoon in a grocery store

heels to the grocery store
Clothes are the best armor
The layers between you and the world
You can almost control how people think
With all the ways you can change yourself
I wear what I wear to get the attention I need
What I crave so deeply are those eyes on me
It's a power trip to know all the tips and tricks
People truly cannot help themselves
Eyes always go to the sound of heels
The layers between you and the world
You can almost control how people think
With all the ways you can change yourself
I wear what I wear to get the attention I need
What I crave so deeply are those eyes on me
It's a power trip to know all the tips and tricks
People truly cannot help themselves
Eyes always go to the sound of heels

Intense Nature
No, no, don't get me wrong
I am intense as intense can be
As intense as when thunder and lightning play together
As intense as that first taste of a really good, hot meal
As intense as the taste of pure sugar and caffeine
I am intense and I am loved for my nature
Always you have made me feel that I am too intense
When the truth is I am too intense FOR you
I am intense as intense can be
As intense as when thunder and lightning play together
As intense as that first taste of a really good, hot meal
As intense as the taste of pure sugar and caffeine
I am intense and I am loved for my nature
Always you have made me feel that I am too intense
When the truth is I am too intense FOR you

That's all we are
Paths under our feet
Directions in all ways
Steadfast I've loved you
You were simply looking for
Anyone who wasn't me
I set fire to that bridge
That linked our paths together
The one only I maintained
I won't follow you anymore
Love shouldn't hurt this way
Paths under our feet
Directions in all ways
Steadfast I've loved you
You were simply looking for
Anyone who wasn't me
I set fire to that bridge
That linked our paths together
The one only I maintained
I won't follow you anymore
Love shouldn't hurt this way

your feelings don't matter
There's something so fucking hollow
In knowing you won't be at the top
Of my message lists anywhere anymore
That I'll never share with you again
No videos, no memes, and no thoughts
Cutting you out of me will take some time
I won't ruminate about you thinking of me
The possibility that maybe you'll miss me
Just enough to show up at my door
We both know you would never do that
You have never been afraid to lose me
And now I am gone from your presence
How long until your new relationship breaks?
Because of the broken parts in...

Gangrene Love
You're so cold...so cold
Empty and hard inside
No one can touch your heart
Hell knows how much I've tried
I've frost bite on my fingers
Just from the effort alone
Gangrene from knuckle to knuckle
So I will not try anymore
Let your heart stay cold
Empty and hard inside
No one can touch your heart
Hell knows how much I've tried
I've frost bite on my fingers
Just from the effort alone
Gangrene from knuckle to knuckle
So I will not try anymore
Let your heart stay cold

An End
I'm breaking bonds apart with my hands
Ripping this rot out from around my heart
Loving you was never a happy feeling
Wretched and unrequited... Only misery
I found myself trembling, shaking so hard
My phone fell from my fingers onto the bed
I've never blocked you before this moment
But then again you have never chosen me
Kissing me meant nothing to you... Never did
I'll never be anything more than an er
Patching up and putting together your heart
Only for you to leave and find someone better
But you will never find something...
Ripping this rot out from around my heart
Loving you was never a happy feeling
Wretched and unrequited... Only misery
I found myself trembling, shaking so hard
My phone fell from my fingers onto the bed
I've never blocked you before this moment
But then again you have never chosen me
Kissing me meant nothing to you... Never did
I'll never be anything more than an er
Patching up and putting together your heart
Only for you to leave and find someone better
But you will never find something...

fight the sands of time
I need to kiss you to show my hunger
Feel your body pressed against mine
Hear you tell me that you want me
As I hum with my lips against your neck
Hands in my hair, on my hips, my back
Never close enough, it's never enough
I want to see your eyes black with desire
And your lips soft with loving words
A hand around my throat holding me
Pinned butterflies and pounding hearts
Frantic movements making up for lost time
Kissing you as if it would stop the sands of it
I'm trapped in our old and new memories
The only way out is your...
Feel your body pressed against mine
Hear you tell me that you want me
As I hum with my lips against your neck
Hands in my hair, on my hips, my back
Never close enough, it's never enough
I want to see your eyes black with desire
And your lips soft with loving words
A hand around my throat holding me
Pinned butterflies and pounding hearts
Frantic movements making up for lost time
Kissing you as if it would stop the sands of it
I'm trapped in our old and new memories
The only way out is your...

We're not Ghosts
I'd forgotten how perfect your lips felt
Pressed against mine, against my neck, my cheek
I'd bite them simply to make sure they're real
And not a ghost of a memory trapped in my head
Those hands that have haunted me touch me
With what I can only describe as glee
From ankle... to knee... to thigh... to hip
An exploring path as if you're making sure I'm real
That I'm actually laying there in front of you
Those lips pressing a smile against my neck
We bring ghosts to life when we're together
Pressed against mine, against my neck, my cheek
I'd bite them simply to make sure they're real
And not a ghost of a memory trapped in my head
Those hands that have haunted me touch me
With what I can only describe as glee
From ankle... to knee... to thigh... to hip
An exploring path as if you're making sure I'm real
That I'm actually laying there in front of you
Those lips pressing a smile against my neck
We bring ghosts to life when we're together

Pretty
I'm prettiest
when my hands
are neatly pinned
above my head
Your mouth on mine
my legs around you
when my hands
are neatly pinned
above my head
Your mouth on mine
my legs around you

Lint heart
So warm and soft
Bright colors mix
A waste product...
Just throw it away

Glass Blown Anger
People don't see the sadness
Hidden within this rage of mine
Glass heart glowing white hot in the flame
Spinning just to keep myself upright
Behind this mental wall of flame and anger
The fire in my eyes evaporates the tears
No one wants to get close to look through
They love me I know but they can't see
They can't seem to see what's wrong in me
I learned so very long ago to hide here
But I'm struggling with this loneliness
Even when I try to explain my heartache
That this molten pain cools to glass fragility
It always...
Hidden within this rage of mine
Glass heart glowing white hot in the flame
Spinning just to keep myself upright
Behind this mental wall of flame and anger
The fire in my eyes evaporates the tears
No one wants to get close to look through
They love me I know but they can't see
They can't seem to see what's wrong in me
I learned so very long ago to hide here
But I'm struggling with this loneliness
Even when I try to explain my heartache
That this molten pain cools to glass fragility
It always...
