POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I write about love, heartache, and loss.
Open Your Eyes
Open your eyes
And see right through me
See right through me
Because you don't see me
And you don't care
You were never there
So open your eyes
And see my disease
See my disease
I got it when
You left me
So open your eyes
And just look at me
Look at what I've become
Look at what I've done
I'll never be the same
All I feel is pain
So open your eyes
Open your eyes
And see right through me
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
And see my disease
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
And...
And see right through me
See right through me
Because you don't see me
And you don't care
You were never there
So open your eyes
And see my disease
See my disease
I got it when
You left me
So open your eyes
And just look at me
Look at what I've become
Look at what I've done
I'll never be the same
All I feel is pain
So open your eyes
Open your eyes
And see right through me
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
And see my disease
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
And...

Broken Inside (Because of You)
It was so easy, wasn't it?
For you to get over me.
For you to just stand up
And walk away from me.
I still love you
And I know that you
Never cared
And never will care
And I'm so sorry to be
Acting like such a fucking bitch to you
But if I don't hate you
I'm afraid I will
Always love you and I wish that I
Didn't have to live anymore.
That I didn't have to just
Get through this pain
Because I don't know how to live anymore.
I don't know how to breath anymore.
And you
Don't care
That I feel nothing except
The...
For you to get over me.

And walk away from me.
I still love you
And I know that you
Never cared
And never will care
And I'm so sorry to be
Acting like such a fucking bitch to you
But if I don't hate you
I'm afraid I will
Always love you and I wish that I
Didn't have to live anymore.
That I didn't have to just
Get through this pain
Because I don't know how to live anymore.
I don't know how to breath anymore.
And you
Don't care

Living a Lie
I remember the cold creeping in. It was so cold, I was shaking. But, it really wasn't all that cold. I suppose, I was more more jittery than anything. I sat on your bed, facing you. I just watched you, shivering, but not speaking. I wondered if you could hear my heartbeat, it felt like a drum. Yet, we were only just sitting together. He wasn't really talking either, just playing some sort of game on his iPod with a cracked screen. He was sort of mumbling (now that I think about it, he was talking to me directly) about how difficult the game was.
All I remember now, is hearing...

Raining Everyday (You are Away)
Days pass by
Slow as always
Slow as ever
Slow as the rain
Pouring down the sky
And dripping onto
My face and hands
And onto my
Broken heart
Full of empty promises and
His perfect face
His perfect face
Full of the sunshine
That I can't seem to find
Because it's raining
It's rainging outside
And inside of me
I can't help but
Believe that it's
Just always going to be
This way
It'll rain
It'll rain
For days and for
Days...
Slow as always
Slow as ever
Slow as the rain
Pouring down the sky
And dripping onto
My face and hands
And onto my
Broken heart
Full of empty promises and
His perfect face

Full of the sunshine
That I can't seem to find
Because it's raining
It's rainging outside
And inside of me
I can't help but
Believe that it's
Just always going to be
This way
It'll rain
It'll rain
For days and for

Lost Without You
The way you see me now,
You see me as me
And only me
And I have you all to
My selfish self and I
The silly little girl I am
wish that I could refuse
To share my most prized
Possession with the
Rest of the world but then
I realize you aren't even
Mine anymore because
I gave you away
I gave you all away
I threw you away
As is you meant nothing to me
I guess, at that time,
I didn't even know that I
Really did love you.

the United States of Assholes
No,
I will
Not
stand
and I will
Not
Clap and I
Will not cheer
For the Independence
Day of
The United States of Assholes...
I'm just here
to see the fireworks.
Most people may
Write some stupid love poem
About making out with their
Significant other underneath the
Fireworks, but I'm here to
Tell you there is so much more
To this holiday than you might think.
It's propaganda to
Make us believe that simply
Because we are America
We are the best. No contest.
Yes, we have...

to Die or not to Die (is that even a Question?)
I had never felt so alone
Until that moment
I was completely alone. You,
Oh, perfect you, were once a part
Of my life, and nothing else mattered.
But, as of right now, I know
Nobody else cares that
I sit and
I suffer
In my aloneness and
Nobody is there and
Nobody cares
And I wish I could just
Die.
But I can't.
All because of you and
How you once looked into my eyes and said
You would always be there
For me and you would

What was I Expecting?
So, I tell you the truth.
I tell you everything.
I gave it all away,
And you let me waste away.
You threw me away as if
I was nothing and,
Believe me,
It hurt. It hurt real fucking good.
And it made me love you,
Just a little but more
Like a drug, like a drug,
I should’ve known
That we could never end up
As just the two of us.
But, then again,
What was I expecting?
I could never get a
Happily-ever-after from you.
I guess I was just
Kidding myself.
I don’t deserve you.
I just don’t deserve you.
I cannot...
I tell you everything.
I gave it all away,
And you let me waste away.
You threw me away as if
I was nothing and,
Believe me,
It hurt. It hurt real fucking good.
And it made me love you,
Just a little but more

to all Those Perfect, Preppy Girls.
To all those
Perfect,
Preppy
Girls
You’re all so,
So perfect.
Living your perfect lives,
With your perfect hair, and
Your perfect smile.
Daddy’s favorite.
And you may be perfect,
But you’re nothing
And nothing more.
Watch all those poor boys come
Knocking at your door.
You may smile
And you may say I’m a
Whore,
But, you’re nothing
And nothing more.
You may have the shiniest toys,
The cutest boys,
You may even have my man
Wrapped around your scrawny,
Perfect finger.
You may have
All...

You are the sun,
The moon,
And the stars.
I need you; so much it burns.
Your heart is made of steel
But somehow you remain to be
My universe.
But I don’t write love poems…
You are my pain,
My fear,
And my pride.
You hurt me, so much I love you.
Your eyes are deceitful
You may lie to me, but I’m
Still in pain.
But I don’t write hate poems…
The poems I write
I held inside when I let go of you
When I let go of my pride
When I let go, I died.
The poems I write
Are not of love, and are not of hate. ...

Black Skinny Jeans
I miss your black skinny jeans,
The way you haunt my every dream,
The way you loved me,
Damn, I miss everything.
I never realized
How much you meant to me
Until you left me
You left me bleeding
And empty and I never knew
Just how much I needed you
Just how much I loved you
Until that one day when
You were gone. Then, everything
Went wrong.
My heart turned blue and
The sky went black
And then, I knew,
I needed you back
I needed you back
Together, we act so reckless
You leave me defenseless
Without you, I’m...

the Reason I live
Light up my way
Light up my eyes; this fire
It burns and consumes
I sit warm and comfortable as you
Speak with your tongue intertwined with my heart
It feels like you are the only one for me
You laugh when I ask you who you
Think you are telling me
Who I can and cannot love
I’m not your damn business anymore
You made my flowers bloom and you
Turned away and they rotted and died yet you remain
The reason I live,
You.
Why aren’t you here with me anymore?
Speak to me, my love
With your rotted tongue and wordless tears
I...
