POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I'm a novice poetry writer and I am trying to improve my writing.
The familiar coldness
Clawing in my veins
Bloodshot eyes
Lethargy
A deep sadness
The depths of loneliness
Stretch over the corners
Of my field of vision
And everything in between
Dreams repeat memories
I want to forget
Sleep or awake
There’s no respite
From this life of heartache
The familiar coldness
Feels comforting
Because it’s all
That’s ever been there
Bloodshot eyes
Lethargy
A deep sadness
The depths of loneliness
Stretch over the corners
Of my field of vision
And everything in between
Dreams repeat memories
I want to forget
Sleep or awake
There’s no respite
From this life of heartache
The familiar coldness
Feels comforting
Because it’s all
That’s ever been there

Depleting
You’re gorgeous now
But when the years flicker by
Your skin will wither
And reveal your cruel bones
The moments are fleeting
Our youth is depleting
But when the years flicker by
Your skin will wither
And reveal your cruel bones
The moments are fleeting
Our youth is depleting

The texture of consciousness
Cloudy skies
Fingertips
Gritty surfaces
Wandering eyes
Gandering through gardens
Slamming shutters
Soft breeze
Crisp cut air
Stinging sun
Muffled sounds
Inaudible voices
Lips creating shapes
World in the background
Thoughts in focus
Blurred environment
Grey, fuzzy, hazy
Static sounds
Detailed daydreams
Taught strings of thoughts
Connecting ideas
Forming meaning
Searching
Finding something
In nothing
...

That’s alright chocolate eyes
You called me intoxicated
“Look, I like you”
That’s what you said
You don’t do this (you said)
As you crawled into my bed
And seeped into my head
You called me sweetheart
Words so soft like petals
Sweet nothings
You we’re with her
But you said
“I want to date you”
I told you I fear abandonment
“I’m not going anywhere”
You said
I know I’m too needy
But “it’s fine”
You said
Her
“She’s so beautiful”
You said ...

Right down to the minute, right down to the second
Time passes so slowly
Each grain of sand
Creeps down the hourglass
Feeling the depth of each breath
The air is heavy
It drowns
Trembling finger tips and toes
The sensation crawling
Into your nerves
Every blink
Shutters in slow motion
Lights glare through
The light illuminates your fingertips
Orange skin
Outlined with translucent edges
...

A Cold Heart
There’s cold in my bones
That’s been freezing my tears
For years
With blue fingertips
I chiseled love
Into the frost
It’s not much and it’s not hot
But I made it
And it’s all that I’ve got
Shatter me
Hack, attack
Break my ice heart
The glistening crystal shards
Cut when they caress
Behold the snowstorm
Cold hearts sleep in warm beds
That’s been freezing my tears
For years
With blue fingertips
I chiseled love
Into the frost
It’s not much and it’s not hot
But I made it
And it’s all that I’ve got
Shatter me
Hack, attack
Break my ice heart
The glistening crystal shards
Cut when they caress
Behold the snowstorm
Cold hearts sleep in warm beds

You did not deserve the truth
Your words cut to my core
A heartless monster
Ripping me limb from limb
You took my trust and laughed at my pain
I explained everything
I told you everything
You didn’t deserve it
To see my raw feelings
You ignored me
Lied to me
Played me
Betrayed me
Words so vile and crude
The hostility in you voice
Echoed through my bones
Making me collapse into the pain
My body twitching
While blood pools around
The world is pitch black
My gasping the only sound

I tried to love you, to love myself
You’re everything
I hate in the world
But when I felt
Your personality drip
Against my lips
Suddenly, I was dying of thirst
You’re everything
I hate in myself
The world seems
Cold and empty
There’s pain everywhere
It lingers on everything
I hear your smooth voice
In my head
Telling me that
You wish I was dead
I never want to
Open my eyes
I tried to love you
To love the world
And myself
To turn the dark into light
But my...

In every moment of everyday
Sitting alone in a car park
Late at night
Rain on the windows
The droplets glistening
A soft glow of streetlights
A muted fuzz in the air
These thoughts plague me
You were it to me
The only thing I saw
But when I was close to you
I felt alone
I was alone because you did not understand or care
You kept demanding MORE
But you’d already taken everything
What was left?
My personality withered away under your pressure
What is there left to say
When you ripped apart my insides ...

I gave you all my blood
Slashed wrists (like that you sadist?)
Blue eyelids
Cold lips you kissed
I gave you all (more than anyone could give)
My blood
A red waterfall
I can’t speak (you’d kill me, you narcissist)
There’s nothing to say
Everything is bleak
Bags of blood (love letters written in maroon ink)
Tear them apart
Drown in the flood
My body an empty shell (depression is hell)
On your palms
My tear drops fell
I needed to feel whole (emptiness out of control)
Tightening your grip ...

The Heart Butcher
Dear the girl who comes next,
I gave him my heart
Over and over again
And he sold it
He sold my love
Then after all the pain
The nightmares and heartache
I let him in again
Just for him to treat me the same
I spilled my feelings onto pages for him
He said my poems
Brought tears to his eyes
But those were just more lies
When he left his said
He did not do anything to me
But what he did not understand
Is that love is everything to me ...

Disgusting
Walking around
Wearing skin
Barely passing as human
Black vile drips

As you spit
I love you
An insult
A disgrace
