POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I thrive on words, devouring them as if they were air to breath.
Those three stupid little words
Time goes by at a set rate
But that awkward moment
Seemed to last forever
I'd finally said those three little words
Hoping you felt the same
I stood and waited and waited
For a reaction that never came
And so I walked away
Tears in my eyes
And blood in my cheeks
You will never know
How much you hurt me
How much love was in my heart
Until that awkward moment that it broke
That single moment hurt so much
All because of those three stupid little words
I Love You.
But that awkward moment
Seemed to last forever
I'd finally said those three little words
Hoping you felt the same
I stood and waited and waited
For a reaction that never came
And so I walked away
Tears in my eyes
And blood in my cheeks
You will never know
How much you hurt me
How much love was in my heart
Until that awkward moment that it broke
That single moment hurt so much
All because of those three stupid little words
I Love You.

That lonely little girl is me
You can accept me
Or disrespect me
But don’t you lie to my face
I'vealready given up on trust
You deserve better
I say to myself
But I’m lying through my teeth
And that I can tell
I look in the mirror
An all I can see
Is a lonely little girl
She has tearstainedeyes
Who is she?
Of anything she is unsure
Of everything she isinsecure
That lonely little girl is me
Or disrespect me
But don’t you lie to my face
I'vealready given up on trust
You deserve better
I say to myself
But I’m lying through my teeth
And that I can tell
I look in the mirror
An all I can see
Is a lonely little girl
She has tearstainedeyes
Who is she?
Of anything she is unsure
Of everything she isinsecure
That lonely little girl is me

I'd sell my soul for an ice cold coke
I'd sell my soul for an ice cold coke
Idon'tcare about the pain
I'd do it over and over again
Give me sugar, give me sweets
I'd give anything for those sugary treats
I'm sick of water its just to bland
I order you to put a coke in my hand
Stuff the sickness, Stuff the pain
Here I am saying it again
I'd sell my soul for an ice cold coke
Even if its the last drink I drink and it makes me choke!
Idon'tcare about the pain

Stuff the sickness, Stuff the pain
Here I am saying it again

Even if its the last drink I drink and it makes me choke!

Who are you?
Who are you?
I know your face its on my mind
and in my heart
Without you here I am not whole
Without your touch I can not heal
And so I search day and night
And so I seek with all my might.
Who are you?
I dream of you every night
One touch from you can heal my broken heart
Without you here there is no light
Without your kiss there is no me
And so I pray night and day
And so I hope you'll come to stay
Who are you?
I finally know
You are my other half,
My angel, my true love,
You are mysoul mateand all of the...

A witch in love
A modern day witch
no fire to burn in
no enemy snitch
all that power
in one so small
anger, desire, greed no more
only love the strongest magic of them all
A witch in love
makes a world of beauty
seem like a world of ash
she can create or destroy
the world is at her fingertips
all with a kiss of her lips
no fire to burn in
no enemy snitch
all that power
in one so small
anger, desire, greed no more
only love the strongest magic of them all
A witch in love
makes a world of beauty
seem like a world of ash
she can create or destroy
the world is at her fingertips
all with a kiss of her lips

Love
Where did we go wrong?
Why did our love leave you?
I'm trying to be strong
But thanks to all your lying
On the inside I am dying
Please bring back our love.
I saw you with her in your arms
I saw the love for her on your face
I know you're okay and that should be allIneed
At least one of us is happy
Please give her all your love.
And through the tearsIsaw his face
his easy smile his perfect grace
He stole my heartandgave me his
He's on my mind and in my heart
There is nothing better than this
I finally found my true...
