POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I don't have one style. Sometimes my poems rhyme, sometimes they have alliteration or just a simple rythm or none of the above. I like writing relatable poems.
Just right
I did the right thing
Again, just right
Not causing a stir
So mature, really growing
Listening to my feelings
And my needs, but taking
Into account theirs
All their many many needs
Honesty, kindness
Just right, but not righteous
So why am I nauseous
And exhausted
Goodness tugs at me
Grabs my shoulders
Pushes me up and down
I want to go down
Lower
All the way to the bottom
Screaming and tearing
Throwing a tantrum
Making a scene
Be obscene and aggressive and awful
I would love to be...

Just once
Just once you might see
Though it is a rarity
You'll remember for infinity
Definitely I guarantee
With great intensity
Bigger than humanity
It'll drive you to insanity
Because the prosperity
Of this peculiarity
Makes you red
When you can't breath
Immensely, yet friendly
Like a panther riding a jetski
A plant singing a medley
A toddler driving a Bentley
The everlasting memory
Wait...
What was I talking about?

Blame
For a year you pretended to be my friend
While hoping to end up in my bed
Now I don't trust guys, it's quite sad
And that's what I blame you for
Half the days I had to wonder where you had been
Why you didn't text me, but had talked to them
It made me feel small and unimportant
And that's what I blame you for
You didn't want me to be at your birthday party
Scared that your friends wouldn't find me funny
Made me question why you would even want me
And that's what I blame you for
You wouldn't kiss me after I had had...

Carefree
I wished your sun did not go down
You don't deserve a moon
You don't deserve to close an eye
You should be left with your thoughts and nothing but your thoughts
Those mean close to evil thoughts
The ones that make your skin itch for something sharp
But you'll sleep safe and sound
You're fine with your actions
Why wouldn't you be?
I'm no longer your issue
I am just a moment, a phase
A memory that had to be left behind
It's over so you don't care
You don't care
That's why my sun is still up
You don't care ...
You don't deserve a moon
You don't deserve to close an eye
You should be left with your thoughts and nothing but your thoughts
Those mean close to evil thoughts
The ones that make your skin itch for something sharp
But you'll sleep safe and sound
You're fine with your actions
Why wouldn't you be?
I'm no longer your issue
I am just a moment, a phase
A memory that had to be left behind
It's over so you don't care
You don't care
That's why my sun is still up
You don't care ...

You're free
You don't owe me any texts anymore
I can't get mad at you like I did before
First begging me to stay in my life
Then hanging me out to dry
No, I can't force you to try
I guess I hoped
That you would still like me
Even when love is off the table
I thought that we'd be able
To stay close
Like you promised then
Now you're not attached to me
You're so happy to be free
I forgave you for breaking my heart
Forgave the lies though they tore me apart
Cause no harm was intended
You wanted to be...

Transparent
I wish you were see through
So I could pretend you weren't here
So I could breath
So you would leave
But you wouldn't disappear
I wouldn't be confronted with your face
I wouldn't have to think about the lies
I wouldn't think about the waste
Of future I saw in your eyes
You said: "I love you"
When looking into mine
It turned out not to be true
Though I know you tried
Please be more transparent
So I wouldn't be alone
You could still be my friend
You would still be right there
I could breath
Not empty ...

Close to worthy
I was perfect
Close to perfect at least
As close as I can be
Considerate, sweet, caring
Open, honest, attentive
Witty, fun, sharing
Everything a guy could want or need
I wanted to be more than your person
A concept, an ideal, a dream
Little things I prepared
You didn't notice
My smiles and glances were pre-planned
You didn't notice
The make-up, with the dress, with your necklace
You didn't notice
I didn't mind
As long as I was perfect
You would have to stay
So it would all be perfect ...

Lovers to friends
I have to make you smaller
An atom of a molecule
Even tinier so you can't do
Whatever made me fall and
You'll get your old face back
Nothing cute or sexy
Just kind and friendly
Because your face made mine red
I guess it still does
That needs to change
Friends to lovers
I'll have that rearranged
An atom of a molecule
Even tinier so you can't do
Whatever made me fall and
You'll get your old face back
Nothing cute or sexy
Just kind and friendly
Because your face made mine red
I guess it still does
That needs to change
Friends to lovers
I'll have that rearranged

Oxytocin deficit
You were a high
Walking on air every day
Living on oxytocin
Your words built my world
A princess in her palace
Adored and admired
I followed your eyes
Studied your face
Absorbed your emotions
So yes, you were most of my thoughts
My ideas, my dreams, my mind
Then you cut my supply
I live in ruins now
Empty and undead
Looking for those eyes
In an oxytocin deficit
From when you were mine
Walking on air every day
Living on oxytocin
Your words built my world
A princess in her palace
Adored and admired
I followed your eyes
Studied your face
Absorbed your emotions
So yes, you were most of my thoughts
My ideas, my dreams, my mind
Then you cut my supply
I live in ruins now
Empty and undead
Looking for those eyes
In an oxytocin deficit
From when you were mine

How to kill a butterfly?
How do you kill a butterfly?
One that has been flying for over a year
One we have nourished together
One that flutters and dances and fills me
How do you squeeze the life out of such a beautiful creature?
My stomach seems to do it for me
Gnawing and turning and tearing
Wing after wing
Leg after leg
It is crying
Or I am
But it keeps fighting
Why won't it just die?

Element
She is fire, strong uncontrollable fire
The vains in her body boil her blood
She exhales only smoke and ash
Burning her trachea on its way up
A curse, a force
But ignored
He sits, he breaths, he thinks, he handles
Both feet on a path to a logical future
His comfort is unearned confidence
Laughing at pretension and insincerity
Unsettling, admirable
But fenced
He can feel her heat
Burning and smoking through his skin
She can hear thumping
Like an earthquake shaking her ground
He now...
