POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I enjoy writing. I am more of a morbid writer, or a peaceful writer. There is really no in between.

Young
My heart is a mess,
This is no guess.
Where is my soul?
That once was whole.
Everything has gone away,
That once made me smile.
The dept we pay...
For human denial.
I plead for assistance,
"Child" they say.
"Young is the word,
You know nothing of pain.
Just stories you heard,
& they are all in vein."
So I lay down my head,
For a night of rest.
I close my eyes,
& dream of the best.
This is no guess.
Where is my soul?
That once was whole.
Everything has gone away,
That once made me smile.
The dept we pay...
For human denial.
I plead for assistance,
"Child" they say.
"Young is the word,
You know nothing of pain.
Just stories you heard,
& they are all in vein."
So I lay down my head,
For a night of rest.
I close my eyes,
& dream of the best.

Deceased, But Very Much Alive.
I thought about you again today,
Yesterday, last week, and the day before.
I don't want to grieve no more.
I have all of your things,
They're reminders of the past.
I'd give it all back just to have you here.
I miss the way you could make me smile like no one else can.
Everyone's always talking about how I have the memories to last.
But I don't want the memories.
I'd give them all back, just to see your face again.
Just one more time. Just one more night on the phone, telling you secrets. The biggest, the smallest. All of them in between.
You...

You Or I
You were going to be my reason why,
The first hello and the last goodbye!
But it's to late now,
You've made up your mind.
So it is now mind over matter,
Not matter over mind!
You live in a world where only you hurt,
You don't care about the people around you.
Who get up every day to see that smile on your face!
Oh, that fake fucking smile!
I didn't believe it!
No!
Not for a minute!
You almost had me, HA!
Jokes on me! Funny.
But karma's a bitch and I swear if it doesn't kill you,
My friends will have you wishing it did....
The first hello and the last goodbye!
But it's to late now,
You've made up your mind.
So it is now mind over matter,
Not matter over mind!
You live in a world where only you hurt,
You don't care about the people around you.
Who get up every day to see that smile on your face!
Oh, that fake fucking smile!
I didn't believe it!
No!
Not for a minute!
You almost had me, HA!
Jokes on me! Funny.
But karma's a bitch and I swear if it doesn't kill you,
My friends will have you wishing it did....

What You Want To Hear
You're nothing,
Nothing but a worthless soul.
Is that what you want to hear?!
I've told you once and I'll tell you twice..
Just get the fuck outta here!
No one loves you,
No one needs you!
Cry me a river,
Build a bridge,
& get the fuck over it!
Is that what you want to hear?!
You're a waste of time,
A sad lullaby.
You're a waste of space,
That one thing you enjoy but only need just one taste!
Then I throw you out! Forever! Gone!
You think you know yourself.
You think you know it all.
But listen here,
You're...
Nothing but a worthless soul.
Is that what you want to hear?!
I've told you once and I'll tell you twice..
Just get the fuck outta here!
No one loves you,
No one needs you!
Cry me a river,
Build a bridge,
& get the fuck over it!
Is that what you want to hear?!
You're a waste of time,
A sad lullaby.
You're a waste of space,
That one thing you enjoy but only need just one taste!
Then I throw you out! Forever! Gone!
You think you know yourself.
You think you know it all.
But listen here,
You're...

This Life, This Death.
It seemed the harder I tried I just kept slipping farther down the cliff. I kept losing my grip. I looked to the left see my father looking down on me from heaven. He said to me, "babygirl, it's okay to let go." I shake my head to get the image out of my throbbing head. I then, look to the right, as I see my father once again. This time from hell, telling me to hold on. "It will get better! It will get better!" He yells. I feel a tear fall down my cheek as I look down to see hell underneath of me. The steam from my tear rises. I look above, thee only place I have yet to...

Brittle Leaves
The sound of the water & whistling wind is the only thing that could bring my heart peace at that time. I stood under a tree without leaves and let the wind blow my undone hair and my broken heart. I picked up a brittle leave. It was dead, it had been in one place far to long with no water to keep it alive. But, it was still very much there. It resembled my heart. I held the broken leaf in my hand & crumbled it up. I was so broken. I stood there for a minute with the crumbled leaf in my cold hand. After a minute or two of holding my heart in my hand, I let it go, with the wind. I let...

Just a little story about a life that I used to know.
I am trapped in theese walls I look to the left I see my myself cutting my wrist I scream as if I could hear myself as the blood drips to the floor and my face runs white as the snow that is outside the window. I cover my sorrowed eyes as my dead self is lying on he hardwood floors next to me, I open my eyes again to find it was just my mind playing tricks on me. I turn on the light and walk to the kitchen where I find a suicide note on counter with blood drops, I read it as my last words sign "The only thing I wanted in this world was to be loved, to mean something, to matter, to make...

My Blackened Heart.
I was in the middle of a flower field. The only thing I could see for miles was pure beauty. The only thing I could smell was the sweet scent of roses. The only thing I felt was the sun gleaming off my unhidden skin. All of a sudden I felt a raindrop trickle down my cheek, I heard the last beat of my heart... As I fall down on my knees. I see what I once saw.... The roses turn black as the heart inside of me that once beated red blood. My head spins in circles and my skin ruins cold. I close my eyes tight and smile a shy smile. I whisper my last words "It all makes sense now. The roses...
