POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I've been writing poetry for over 10 years now. I write about various feelings & experiences. Sometimes it's just what flows off my mind. I'm open to all feedback. I'm very open minded. Thank you for everything in advance! (:

Perfect Two
I'm sitting on the roof,
Staring at the stars.
The stars start to move,
and your face is all I see.
Your staring down at me,
with that smile I love to see.
Thinking of you tears fall,
I start to miss you.
Wish you were here.
Losing you is what I fear.
A slight breeze goes by,
I then close my eyes.
Me and you are the only two I see.
Holding hands walking down the street,
you lean over and kiss me on the cheek.
I start to blush then look away,
I wish it was like this everyday.
You say to me, "...

Fishing
Crisp air,
With a salty breeze..
Blue water,
Far as the eyes can see..
Sitting on the dock,
Fishing pole in my hand..
Baiting my hook,
Casting away from land.
Waiting for the bobber,
To take a few dives..
Then suddenly it sinks,
I've got a bite!
Now all I have to do is reel,
Get him to the cooler..
Adrenaline takes over,
But the fish just out maneuvered,
me..
Damn!,
I thought that I had him,
But he got away..
Yet,
That doesn't ever...

Cigarettes
Ciggerates cause cancer,
Everyone knows that.
Still throwing away money,
To buy another pack.
Inhaling the toxic poison,
In to my lungs.
The nicotine helps,
The anxiety it calms.
Tar turning my organs black.
Once you start,
There's no turning back.
Slowly robbing you of your health.
Also taking away your wealth.

I could pay...

Be Free
Be free, you must.
In love with me, your not.
Your feelings, twisted.
Jaded, as my heart.
Exist, love doesn't.
From nonsense, she must part.
A fool again, she will not be.
So be free, you must.
For me, you aren't.
In love with me, your not.
Your feelings, twisted.
Jaded, as my heart.
Exist, love doesn't.
From nonsense, she must part.
A fool again, she will not be.
So be free, you must.
For me, you aren't.

Robbed
My heart tore open,
Dripping all over.
Making
Blood-stained paths
Of memorys broken.
Creating
Dark roads that I have
And should no longer travel.
Trying
To be strong though,
As my weak mind unravels.
Destroying
The beauty in myself I
Had once remembered.
Stealing
My innocence and purity
As my soul was slowly severed.
Trusting
People I shouldn't have
As
They robbed me
Of my future..
Dripping all over.

This World
The fireworks in the background are still popping over a few streets.
Perhaps it could be gunshots.
It seems someone gets shot almost everyday.
Maybe its because of bad choices.
Or maybe its just Gods way,
Of saying its your time.
To finally rest from all the stress,
In this life you've recently faced.
Possibly it was something innocent,
Being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
This world is cruel,
in case you didn't know.
So just be careful if you go out,
Don't ever leave alone.
Anything at any second,
Can happen...

Sea of Blue
Lost in a sea of blue.
Each bubble in the water
Carries its own memory.
Some easily remembered
Some gone but not forgotten.
Lost in a sea of blue.
I'm gliding through
Your love is the fuel
Needed, leading
Me back to you.
Lost in a sea of blue.
Fishing for consistence
Devoured by the darkness
Of the enormous blue abyss.
Lost in a sea of blue.
Fighting the currents
Regaining endurance.
Trying to get through this
With you, I can do it.
Lost in a sea of blue.
My heart black...
Each bubble in the water
Carries its own memory.

Some gone but not forgotten.
Lost in a sea of blue.

Fighting the currents
Regaining endurance.

Dismissed
You offered me your hand..
I wanted to take it but didn't..
You can't save me,
Even though you wish it.
I'm too far gone..
Eternally dismissed.

Don't Want To Die
If you see me
Weak
Fallen,
Struggling
Don't hesitate
To
Reach
Out
Like I was there when
You
Were
Down
If you see that
I'm
Not
Smiling
Then don't be afraid
To
Ask
Why
And if I answer
With
I'm
Fine
I would hope you
Knew
Me
Enough
To comprehend that
Its
A
Lie
Because nobody
Likes
Being
Vunerable
After being hurt
So ...

Letting Go..
Suffer in silence
Sleep through the violence
Trying to find a way out…
No, I'm not perfect
But I swear that I'm worth it.
I'm missing peace right now..
Can't say I never loved you
After all that we have been through
We got to this point, how?
Now I'm sitting all alone
No one tried to hit my phone..
I guess that's just how it goes.
That's why I can't fall in love
Because everybody switches up
I can't mess with all you foes.
I can't even keep my friends around,
Another...

Where I Want To Be
Sparkling in the sky
The stars look so pretty
With the moon light
Dancing on the waves
As they crash on the shore
On the beach at dusk
Pastel colors start to form..
My soul starts talking
While the sun starts to set
Feeling brand new
Leaving all my regret
A place with no judgement
No anxiety in sight
Just another beautiful,
Peaceful night..
When I am here
I feel free
I can be my full self
And my mind is at ease
There's nowhere else
I'd rather be,
Than chilling somewhere ...
