POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I've been writing poetry for more than a decade. Been member to several punk bands wherein I was the main songwriter. This is really just a coping mechanism for the agony I feel in being alive.
Show Me How Little
You call it art
The way you hammer, smash, and break my heart
Call it aesthetic
The way you subtly reduce me to my most pathetic
Call it mistakes
The way you draw me in just break break break
Me again
Well it's a sick fucking game
But I know
That i will play it just the same
If I could boil you down, draw you up
I know i would inject you right into my veins
Just to feel the pain
It's fucked
It's wretched
It's completely unneeded
If I had a therapist
He'd say I should kill you
I'm up to my eyes ...

I Hope We Both Die (But You First)
Just as I escape you
You crawl right back in
That same day it burnt down
The home I'd finally found myself in
All out of options
With no place I don't hate
No face I don't want to kiss, when offered only shallow embrace
No one is alone, if I'm ever around
But I'm always left sitting
In my own personal ghost town
No one beside me
Always the third wheel
To people I wish I could make understand
When I say that "I love you"
And I'd done so well
But how far more I could fall
In the mere hours that followed that...

Decay at Hospital Carraway
These halls once stood to preserve life
Beneath desecrations I think they were white
These empty windows through which come that breeze
Once glorious glass shining down on the city
Where once it smelled of flowers and bleach
Now just decay, mold, and feces
The ominous artworks of heathens and squatters
The elevator shafts filled with stagnant waters
Broken glass, black mold, and excrement
Hollow walls decrying farmers from engine room to basement
Crematory alone has remained white and clean
As if preserved by the spectre of the...

Do Not Resucitate
Sorry I missed your call
I can't come to the phone right now
Don't bother with a message
I'm staying on the floor for now
At least until I'm found
If they have time to reach the narcan
If they know cpr
If anyone comes for me
Though I'll probably steal their car
Just to say thanks for saving me
Because no one lies here turning blue
Because life's going right
No one ODs on heroin
Solely to get high
And no one shoots up heroin
Because they wanna live through the night
At least that's what dozens of dead...

The Angel and the Dark Boy
Salvation comes with dark circles
In dark CC's
Can't stand up to the pain
Noddin out under trees
I wonder why mother, why you,and the devil
Keep choosing other fucking wretches over me
The sweet girl is gone
Lost to the new boy
Long, dark, and sharp
He's her only joy
The devils are sainted
The angel falls
Collapsed on the floor
Of a truck stop bathroom stall
Friends, she has none
She won't be used again
But shell use all she must
Until she's purged all the sins
She took on her soul
She committed...

Chemical Throne
Well it's safe and it's warm
When you're outside the world
Sitting alone on a chemical throne
You can watch the world burn
But, consumed by your pâro
You feel like a caged sparrow at home
It's nothing new
Disdain for every act you do
Altschmerz will drag you
To ever deeper gloom
Because nothing ever changes
You're still fist-fighting rages
And crying ink into pages
Of the sorrows left to you when you were young
And the clown in the corner
Or sitting by your side
Snickers, laughs, and torments you
With every...
