POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I tend to write solely free verse/ slam poetry but I dabble in short stories as well. Not really sure what else to say.

I should've become a better love instead of a poet
I’m Sorry
I promised a few people I’d stop
Writing about you.
It’s almost a year now and
it’s close to your birthday again.
I tried to hate you
I tried to burn all the remnants of you
In the fire after you left.
I tried to forget you.
I promise I did.
I’ve tried to numb your smile away.
I’ve tried to cut off my feelings
But I still feel every break in this delicate heart of mine.
Every moment I walked away and you stayed
Was nothing compared to you walking away
And never coming back.
I think that’s...

Every Morning
When I wake up in the morning my body
yearns for your warmth.
When I wake up in the morning
my breath is unsteady and my hands shake.
In my dreams,
I see you running through white roses
Your legs are red like the sunset blazing and bright
But you didn’t care you valued everyone else’s safety over your own.
In my dreams,
you were the kind of person who didn’t care
about your own life because you kept running anyway.
I see you in my dreams,
Your hair blustering in the wind like a beast finally being set free.
In my...

What You Want Me To Be
I am nowhere near who you want me to be.
I scream so loud for you to come save me
But when I don’t hear,
I swallow my sad ness and throw my rage
Into these walls
In an attempt to destroy all the pain in my heart.
All that’s left is the overwhelming silence.
Once again I search for you to comfort me
And soon I begin to realize
That not even I am my own friend.
If I am not who you want me to be,
Then what am I?
The day you left still replays in my head.
It throws me down,
Forcing me to my knees.
I feel this pain...
I scream so loud for you to come save me
But when I don’t hear,
I swallow my sad ness and throw my rage
Into these walls
In an attempt to destroy all the pain in my heart.
All that’s left is the overwhelming silence.
Once again I search for you to comfort me
And soon I begin to realize
That not even I am my own friend.
If I am not who you want me to be,

An Ode to my happiness
I’m picking myself this time.
Only because I’ve got a shortage
in this heart of mine
And somedays it feels like its beating
for other people.
When it should be working for this smile
that I’ve been faking for so long.
You’ll hate my decisions but
I’m sorry I’ve chosen my happiness
Over you.
Some days I’m still trying to find
Myself while being lost.
Some nights I’m still clinging to lost
Parts of you.
Daylight comes short when all I do is sleep.
This is another letter you won’t be getting.
Your secrets won’t leave...
Only because I’ve got a shortage

Dilemma
I have a dilemna
You see there’s this girl and
She’s so gorgeous
She’s so beautiful.
I love the way the light bounces
Off of her eyes
I love the wrinkles around her eyes
When she smiles.
I love her dimples.
She has two of them you know.
I love how I get butterflies when
I think about how she says says name.
I get butterflies when I think about
how she likes to mess with my hair.
I get butterflies when I see her walk down the hallway.
I can’t stand to see her unhappy.
When she’s crying in the bathroom, ...

I Can Tell When You Don't Care
Some people fall out of love,
‘I love you’ turns to just,
‘love you’.
You’ll notice the difference
His eyes don’t close when you kiss.
He never holds your hands
Unless you reach for his first
And he forgets to tell you…
Goodnight.
Even worse,
He forgets to wish you happy birthday.
Then he’ll stop asking you about
Your day but you’ll tell him anyway
But he won’t be listening.
He’ll slowly start to spend less time at home
And he won’t remember your favorite color
Because he’s busy memorizing someone else’s.

Downfall
The stars used to shine brighter when I was with him.
Every time he spoke,
the world seemed to slow to a halt.
I remember as if it were yesterday,
falling asleep on his chest,
watching reruns of Fresh Prince.
I remember walking down the street
by the side of my house,
holding your hand as we talked about our future.
I also remember how I felt
when you told me you didn’t want me.
I remember how I stumbled backward
away from you when you told me
I had too many issues.
Has your heart ever hurt so much, you felt...

Falling
P.S
I never told you
but I was falling for you.
and now it feels like
I have fallen off the top of a cliff
and you weren't there to catch me.

In humble memory here lies my liver,
I tried to drink away your memory
and with it went my organs.
In loving memory here lies my heart
I tried to take away the brokenness
and with it went my organs.

Revenge isn't a passion
It's a sickness
That eats at your mind
It consumes your soul
It's a disease
That blinds you
It shadows your heart
from feeling anything

If we cannot see your pain
It is not there
If your self harm
Doesn't excavate above your skin
is it worthy to be concerned of
Our care comes in reserved slots
Like first few rows at a funeral
In order to get one
You must first
show me what you've done
It is not there
If your self harm
Doesn't excavate above your skin
is it worthy to be concerned of
Our care comes in reserved slots
Like first few rows at a funeral
In order to get one
You must first
show me what you've done

The one I want to spend my time with
It's sending time with someone else
Slow dancing under his covers
So I make a home of stranger's sheets
And empty booze bottles
But I haven't drank since yesterday
I know that doesn't seem like a long time to you
But to me it feels like
A millennium has passed since I've tried to drown
the thought of my fingers running like track stars
up and down the bare curves of your...
