POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I'll write something her as soon I can think of something fluent and poetic.
I Alone
I
Such a lovely word
That not many appreciate
To be alone.
To be free.
Shut up, you stupid bitch!
You're worthless!
They have gotten stronger
The voices that used to whisper
They now scream in my mind
They've sunken deeper into my bones
It made me who I am today
Here I sit lost, broken.
It's been so long
since I've been truly happy
My wrists
Crisscrossed with scars
The voices have robbed me of my dignity
My pride, my joy...
Every day they tell me
To off myself
And be done with it all...

Capture
I wish I could capture you,
put you inside a crystal,
where you'll be safe
where you'll be my little fairy...
I wish I could capture you,
in a place where your innocence will never be misplace,
where your heart will never bleed,
and the tears will never fall...
I wish I could capture you,
in a place where dreams are a sweet fantasy,
where the sin's kiss hasn't been place,
where nobody could hurt you...
I wish I could capture you,
freeze the time,
for you to be my beautiful fairy,
I wish...
put you inside a crystal,
where you'll be safe
where you'll be my little fairy...
I wish I could capture you,

Sink or Swim
I'm swim
all alone in a pool of darkness
caught in the undertow
I choke and gasp for air
I kick and flail,
fighting to stay afloat .
The darkness won't let go of me.
I slowly being to sink,
giving in to what lies beneath the surface.
The murky water fills my lungs,
lungs that once held so much life...
A scream rises from my throat,
but nobody comes to help me.
Why won’t someone grab my hand,
rescuing me from the clutch of darkness?
Because no one knows I stand at the boundary,
the boundary between light...
all alone in a pool of darkness
caught in the undertow
I choke and gasp for air
I kick and flail,
fighting to stay afloat .
The darkness won't let go of me.

Scream
CENTER]Madness rages in my head,
Yet no words escape my lips.
Not even tears fall.
How can I cry when the beats of my heart are stolen?
There’s a whisper within blackness of my eyes,
A desperate shout inside my soul.
There’s a kiss left before you kill me
A silent plea carved in my wrist…
Cover your face; shadowed with hatred,
Paint in your lips the red colour of a bleeding heart,
A veil of mourning to mask your sneer,
This was what you wanted all along....
Yet no words escape my lips.
Not even tears fall.
How can I cry when the beats of my heart are stolen?
There’s a whisper within blackness of my eyes,
A desperate shout inside my soul.
There’s a kiss left before you kill me
A silent plea carved in my wrist…
Cover your face; shadowed with hatred,
Paint in your lips the red colour of a bleeding heart,
A veil of mourning to mask your sneer,
This was what you wanted all along....

Memories
She wouldn’t wake up.
The memory hits me
Like it does every day
I listen to them talk and complain about their
“Wretched” mothers and wonder
What’s it like to have a mother?
I’d give anything to know,
At least for them to know how lucky they are.
And I remember she wouldn’t sit up
I dream of a stuffing machine for
Someone told me she was
Cut open and stuffed
It doesn't make sense how
Still at seventeen I wonder
What happened to my mother?
My memories are blurry
She doesn’t even smile in my dreams anymore
I wonder if she'd...

Out in the Cold
Though my heart is broken
And my being is hollow
Never have I spoken
Of the sorrow.
I came to you
When my need was great
But you saw me coming
And barred shut your gate.
And so I stood outside
In a blizzard as cold as your heart
Beating on the gates
That kept us apart
I hurt so much
But this you know
And so you left me hurting
Standing in the snow
And my being is hollow
Never have I spoken
Of the sorrow.

But this you know
And so you left me hurting

Tears of Suicide
Her smile is radiant
As if it will never fade
But that is just a cover
In her dark masquerade
On the inside she is cursing
At the pain she tries to withhold
She’s disguising her hatred
That cannot be told
How starved she is
Her eyes for blood
Hungering to witness as it
Becomes a crimson flood
A flood on the floor
She doesn’t want this feeling
She doesn’t want to suffer anymore
Hesitantly, she makes the first cut
A sweet and welcomed release
The laughter of her family rings in her ears
She sees the world before her the...

The Blood Countess: Beauty is the Beast
Her alabaster skin turns translucent by night.
Her hair, ebony black, glistens in the moonlight
But only to deceive her unfortunate prey
Beneath a masquerade of ruffles and lace lurks evil
Twisted desires for youth eternal
To have drank blood and bathed in crimson
So was the fate of 600 virgins
She is The Blood Countess, The Lady of Cachtice
But cleverly disguised
The mark of the beast carved into her hands
Her hair, ebony black, glistens in the moonlight
But only to deceive her unfortunate prey
Beneath a masquerade of ruffles and lace lurks evil
Twisted desires for youth eternal
To have drank blood and bathed in crimson
So was the fate of 600 virgins
She is The Blood Countess, The Lady of Cachtice
But cleverly disguised
The mark of the beast carved into her hands

Does Anyone Care At All?
Does anyone care at all?
One gets addicted while the other stands clean
One says something he never could mean
One lets go when shes sure she wont be seen...
Does anyone care at all?
One learns to love while the others begins to sink
One draws with the razor, less painful then to think
One decides to go, closing his eyes with a final blink...
Does anyone care at all?
One holds his breath, pretends he was never there
One just wanted a hug, just wantedsomeone tocare
One never speaks, her words always beautiful, always rare... ...
