POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
How can one person...
What I am, what all I stand for,
you would crumble to pieces, just because you can.
You keep your heart as open as the front door,
but you're never home, and I never have a plan.
Yet for some unknown reason, you come back to me,
to hurt me more than I could ever say.
You've numbed me like the drug coursing through my veins, and now I just don't want to see.
I couldn't be lying if I said I don't want to see tomorrow's day.
How can one person hurt you so much?
How can one person tear you down?
and refuse to build you back up.
How can one person kill...

The Hooded Dove
The hooded dove comes to my window.
The hooded dove casts no shadow.
The hooded dove watches when I'm doing wrong.
The hooded dove multiplies my pain, so it will be prolonged.
The hooded dove thinks it has me.
The hooded dove doesn't know what's in store for he.
The hooded dove laughs and smiles when I try to explain.
The hooded dove knows I only sound insane.
The hooded dove thinks that I do not know.
The hooded dove, does not know that I wait for him to show.
The hooded dove comes to the window seal.
The hooded dove is surprised when I give him a...

Getting back
I can't breath
when you suffocate me like that.
I live in your sleeve
because someone else owns your hat.
I try to get away
but you'll always hold me back.
I just hope that one day, you're not watching, when I stab you back like that.

I wish I could hold my nightmares in my hands
I wish that at night, when I wake up screaming
I could just hold my nightmare in my hand.
Watch the blood drip through the spaces of my fingers, see the fire steaming
Watch me try to run away, but I'm just running through quick sand.
If I take a look at what I thought I was scared of
I realize that it's just a poorly produced horror movie.
That the scary monster chasing me, was just a hooded dove
And that the dark fires burning in the night are really soothing.
But I never realize it when I'm trapped inside my hands
The thing that I'm holding.
It turns...

Was gonna finish it. But thought it said more to me than if it carried on.
I want to get away from you
I figure if I hide in the sun
No one will find me.
My logic may prove true
Since no one holds their heads up, they just don't pay attention, all they do is run
Because they can't face the truth that they can't see.

Please Let Me Wake Up
I don't care
It's against my will
And I'm so scared
My own mind I can no longer feel
My heart feels tight, My hands tremble as I type
Backspace, backspace, backspace as I tune out tonight
My mind feels like a numb staircase
Stumbling over unknown steps, old memories, my best friend the basket case as they liked to say
My stomach feels sick
Maybe my head's playing a trick
But there's vomit on the floor
And I can't locate the door
I feel like falling down
I think I'll lay down
On the floor
Beside what I thought was the door
One...
It's against my will
And I'm so scared

The Smile It Brings That You Are Gone
What will happen today
Is still far away
What will happen tonight
Is probably not right
How I judge you
How I act
How you thought that it was backed
By lies and not the truth, well it probably saved you
And
I'm just trying to get by with what I know
I'm just trying to hide the truth, the lies they always show
And I can't help you anymore
As I see you fall to the floor
Well it breaks my heart
It tears me apart
But what's done
Is all for fun
And I can't change what's happened
And all my thoughts have been siphoned
But...
Is still far away
What will happen tonight

How I act

By lies and not the truth, well it probably saved you

The Ignorant Server Boy
The ignorant servant boy has dropped all the dishes
Now how are we to enjoy our cake?
The ignorant server boy has evolved in the art of lust, with everyone he wishes to partake.
The ignorant server boy has thrown back all our fishes.
Now how are we to enjoy dinner?
The ignorant server boy's temper is getting thinner.
Now he'll wish he held on to those last wishes.
The ignorant server boy has a mind of his own.
But his clever thoughts are rarely ever shown.
The ignorant server boy has only one more swing, he's already had two misses.
The ignorant server...

Are You Ok?
I am not sure why, but in my mind Kurt Cobain's voice sang this, slow in the beginning, picks up speed, but not too fast. (soft/aggressive)

Everyone is fake
I'm just a hypocrite, are you ok?
Everyone is fake
And I'm just a hypocrite, are you ok?
Are you ok?
Are you ok?
Are you ok?
Are you ok!
'Cause you're looking at me like you did something wrong
You're looking to me 'cause I don't belong
You act like you knew
when I knew all along
And I'm not gonna be here very long
I don't know why I can't let go ...

Just Come With Me
Take my hand
do not be afraid, I will help you stand.
I know that you are scared, just as much as I
just never look down, and together we will fly.
To somewhere safe
where we do not have to see their face.
To somewhere far away
where vagueness will not follow our way.
Somewhere forgotten
somewhere hidden away, where imagination makes its humble home in.
Just come with me
and together we could see.
Just come with me
and maybe we could be free.

Before You Let It Show
After all the wear and tear
your heart has decided it won't be shared.
You decide to hide somewhere safe
no one will see you sad in that place.
Pretend it does not matter to you anymore
so you go out, and find the cheapest whore.
To get your mind off the hurt
but there is nothing in her eyes for you to curiously search.
So instead you walk by
after your third try.
You really don't want that though
you never do, but you try to not let it show.
You just want to get your mind off of it all
because you're tired of being so high, only to soon...
