POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Send One My Way
If I had it my way, I'd wake with you tomorrow
Things wouldn't seem so broken...
I wouldn't feel this hollow.
I tell myself it's your fault
But I know I'm partly to blame
I used to be so patient
I know I'm not the same.
Isn't that the story though?
I carry all this weight
I work so hard to take the blame from you
oh the excuses that I make...
This wasn't quick and painful
yes, we took our time
you think your hands are scarred?
Take a look at mine
I hate walking away from this
I feel so angry and so...

Locked In
Cold bars
Cold floor
Itchy blanket
Locked door
Women laughing
Then we cry
Guard yelling
Inside we die
Memory fading
I have forgot
Throw it away now
Brain distraught
Back door broken
House a mess
Why is this happening?
Is this a test?
House too quiet
Laying in bed
They took my babies
I wish I was dead
They say you're gone now
I say good deal
House still quiet
This can't be real
Months are passing
Doing what I can
I want my babies
Broken...

Dust In The Wind
I deploy my earnest apology
Thinking of all the caused...
This will take all of me.
Let me be a shadow
A figment of imagination
Another goodbye
Told by divination.
I'm the unsettled dust
With nowhere to belong
The uncomfortable gravel
You're standing upon.
Bottle my memory
Burn it if you must
Dispose of my essence
Forget about "us".
I'll slip back away
Out of sight, out of mind
Don't seek me out
And you won't find.
Let me disappear
And say goodbye for good
Not something I want to...
Thinking of all the caused...
This will take all of me.
Let me be a shadow

Don't seek me out

Let me disappear
And say goodbye for good

In Too Deep
I've sank within myself
This life...my only choice
I am completely happy aren't I?
Or have I lost my voice...
Just when I get...
Right where I need to be,
I take a look back...
Of all the people I've left behind me.
I am moving forward...
Or am I standing still?
I feel desire to go upward...
But I find myself circling this hill.
I question every step,
It always feels so wrong.
What if I go too far one way,
And it's the wrong path I'm traveling on?

Memory In A Box
There's no words I can say right now
To express just how I feel
I swear with everything I have
My love for you was real
But I think she has you
Right where you need to be
Sitting there beside her
Locked away from me
I do not need her forgiveness
Of this I've no desire
I'm sick of her rage and anger
The very thought makes me tired
I am a stronger person
I don't think you even know
The strength I have to forgive so many
The strength I had to let you go...
I have no room for negetivity
I have no room for rage
I am only...

I continue waiting....
I remember driving past you
I remember driving slow
The pain of moving forward
Reliving letting go....
Yes, I know you saw me
My glasses hid my eyes
But I felt our hearts collide
Of this I tell no lies
Today, again I saw you
I swear I almost stopped
I wanted so bad to see you
But....the fear of getting caught....
My stomach started churning
My heart more out than in...
To be so very close to you
What I'd give for a hug again
See now, you've got me crazy
Wanting to see your face

The Hands Of Time
Words of beauty and sorrow
Make my heart weak
How can I look at you?
How can I even speak....
Just to glance upon you
Just to say hello...
Then floods the memory
Of how you let me go
You chose as she was crying
As she asked, "Who will it be?"
Although your choice was painful
It was no surprise to me
Like I said before
There's no fighting fate
After you let me go
I could not sit and wait
Maybe it is best
There's no turning back the clock
Yes, I may be gone
But my loving didn't stop
Times are...
Make my heart weak

Devotion
The memory of your touch
My vice
The intoxication
My mind's eternal damnation
The untold story
Of my heart's humiliation
........
Excuse my frustration
Your absence brought a change in me
Back to myself
The old me....
Someone you never did quite see
I finally found my place
Right where I need to be
My hand in his
Together.....happily
Don't read me wrong
Don't grow sad....
I miss the very essence of you
And everything we had
But the show goes on
It does not wait
Remember...
My vice
The intoxication
My mind's eternal damnation
The untold story
Of my heart's humiliation
........

I never know what to say....
I have no words
I just have hurt.
Memories of times we laughed
Only makes it worse.
The thought of what we had
Confuses me still.
Was I a future possibility?
Or just a temporary pill....
She thinks I lost a lover
I really lost a friend.
I'd give anything to have that simplicity again.
You and me laughing
That's what I'll remember most.
A parasitic memory
And me forever the host.
Do I regret it?
I can't say I do.
I wouldn't be where I am now
Had it not been for you.
But I regret losing you
In more ways than one....
I just have hurt.

DISCONNECT
I just wanna disconnect....
From everything and everyone.
Unplug these damn emotions.....
Say goodbye, I'm fucking done.
A part of me wanted to hold on,
That part of me just died.
I think I'm getting better tho
This time I didn't cry.
I'm through with all this bullshit,
A fairytale facade.....
I'm burning all these memories,
Light them up and watch them fade.
I refuse to bind myself to you,
Another memory to make me sad.
Not thinking of your smile....
Or of all the laughs we had.....
I just wanna disconnect.....
From...
