POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Hi my name is Jose and I've been writting for awhile. You see poetry is my only way I express and let things out. If you read my stuff just be honest, they are really important to me because they are my deepest feelings.
At Ease
My eyes are weary, Illusions is all I see,
My mind is fatigue the memories are killing me,
My heart aches from all the scars that were left,
My soul is slowly fading away,
I’m just tired, tired of being me,
For so long, longing to have never been,
The more time passes by, the longer I run and get lost,
I just want to belong, but time just making it worst,
I don’t want this pain anymore, agony and despair,
I’m all alone, need someone to care,
I cry for help but no one hears,
They blind me from their eyes and deaf their ears,
Neglected I’ve...

Darkness within
This painful secret in me only I know and I would never say,
Even though it’s tearing me apart I’ll take to my grave,
Destiny played a trick on me; it gave illusions to my life,
But the truth is I was born to suffer alone and slowly die,
When I am asked how I’m doing, I just reply “fine”,
But behind my laughter is actually a man screaming inside,
Whenever I hug you I’m actually asking for help every time,
Whenever I shake your hand I’m actually saying goodbye,
During the day I keep my tears inside,
I put on a force smile for my sorrow to hide,

Descendent
I lie alone in the silence of the darkness, with an empty space,
The hunger in my heart and in the depth a burning ache,
Sleepless throughout the night, dreary throughout the day,
My boots are all wet from all the black tears I’ve shed,
I drink myself to darkness, so everything could erase,
To stop this unbearable pain is the only way,
I’m wounded in the inside that my heart is bleeding to death,
My soul is drowning in the blood; I’m slowly running out of breath,
I can’t cry anymore because when I do it burns,
I can’t “sigh” anymore because when I do inside...

Untold
So many words I want to say but they remain untold,
Isolated in my corner only darkness knows,
My feelings, my pain, I do not show,
Afraid of getting hurt once more,
My days are gloomy and cold even though outside there is sunshine,
There’s a black river that keeps on flowing from my black tears I’ve cried,
There is a hole in my chest where my heart use to be,
Because of love it was ripped away from me,
Dreams turned to dust; hope straight out lied,
Life is just an illusion that tries to blind my eyes,
I keep my eyes close so no one can see the...

Echoes
Alone in the silence hearing voices all around,
There echoes from the past that have me curled in the ground,
Scratches on the wall and prints from bloody fist,
Wanting to obliterate my entire being into a mist,
The more I try to run from them, the more they follow,
The more I try to hide from them, the more they flow,
Can’t stand these echoes anymore their making me go insane,
I just want to be at ease instead of having so much rage,
I’ve tried everything I could to find my inner peace,
I’m slowly giving up because these echoes keep on haunting me,

Consumed
My prison is life; I’m trapped in this black hole,
The warden is time; in exchange for freedom it wants my soul,
Throughout the horizon there’s an empty and dark sky,
There is no sun, the moon is pale, the stars are fallen and the earth is dry,
Even though I dress in black, my heart is red,
I spend my nights crying in my stone bed,
I live in the cold so I get so numb to ease the pain,
To camouflage my black tears I entwined with the rain,
I walk alone with my head down,
To hide my grieve and my frown,
I’m so tired that I can’t think,
My crying eyes...

Destroyed from within
My mind can’t think anymore, it’s so blinded from life,
My body is numbed; everything hurts inside,
My eyes are exhausted from all black tears I shed,
My veins are burning as my wrist cry tears in red,
My lungs hurt every time it’s really hard to breath,
My heart is all scarred it don’t even beat,
My feet are just bleeding because all I do is run,
My back is all burn because I can’t face the sun,
My throat hurt so much because all I do is scream,
My voice is losing itself, I can’t even speak,
My chest hurts inside because my soul is pounding,

Broken
Since the day I was born I was giving a curse,
It was my gift from life to be kept in my corner all curled,
It was so merciless it was made for one reason,
For me to suffer slowly inside throughout every life’s seasons,
Always asking myself the question of “Why me”?
An answer I will never receive because I was born to suffer lonely,
Only within the shadow of my corner I can express myself,
Where my secrets are kept safe and no one will tell,
For so long I have wondered when the fight will end,
I try so hard to fight back my tears again and again,
But...

Meadow of Mystery
Everything goes wrong as I try to be right,
To make it through the day I always have to fight,
Don’t know what’s wrong, sometimes I can’t even breathe,
I feel I’m suffocating from within me,
My eyes can't stop crying that soon they will start to bleed,
My heart can’t stop aching that soon it will not beat,
I’m just a lonely being, feeling nothing but astray,
It seems that I’m just drifting slowly far away,
Many times I just want to scream because I can’t bear it no more,
There a big weight inside that’s destroying me all the way to my core, ...

Open door
I’m sorry my love, for blaming you all this time we’ve been apart,
Please understand that losing you made me lose half of my heart,
But I realize why I blamed you for our lost love,
It was a selfish reason in my own part,
You see by blaming you I still kept you inside of me even though it was pain,
But it was the only way to have you and for you not to fade,
Frightened by thought of forgetting you because I knew I will be left alone again,
I put my soul through hell for enduring the sorrow you left,
I have finally come to my senses, realizing I’m the...

Blind tears
When you left me it tore me to the ground,
Alone and mystify, to darkness I was bound,
As much as I love you, I had to let you go,
That was really hard because you owned my mind, body and soul,
But I wasn’t going to hold you back and force you to stay,
The best way I could say I love you was to turn around and walk away,
But to not look back was really tough for me,
As much as I wanted to, I didn’t because I had to let you be,
Till this day not trying to get you back is my biggest regret,
But this is what you wanted, so I thought of you instead,

My lovely corner
Darkness within me is how I’ve been for a long time,
Cramp against my corner, where I’ve been confine,
The loneliness that’s upon me is sucking me into a dark hole,
Obscure and hollow, that I can’t see anything, not even my own shadow,
Depraved by fate, the sadness that I burden is tearing me apart,
A lost casualty with my head down and a crushed heart,
In the abyss of the unknown, alone and cold I shiver throughout the night,
Oblivion to the time, I’m slowly drifting out of sight,
I’m...
