POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I'm a novice poetry writer and I am trying to improve my writing.
My Mother
My home has been scattered
In different houses
In different countries
My mother was the only person at my side
My home was in the blue eyes
Of my mother
Before she lost her mind
The different places
Always felt like home
When I’d crawl into her bed
But my home had a leak
Her eyes would rain down
On my cheeks
My young mind was confused
I’d hold her tightly
And say “please don’t cry, I love you”
Every night I’d listen to her sobs
My heart wrenching
I felt useless...
In different houses

My mother was the only person at my side
My home was in the blue eyes

Before she lost her mind

Always felt like home
When I’d crawl into her bed
But my home had a leak
Her eyes would rain down
On my cheeks
My young mind was confused
I’d hold her tightly
And say “please don’t cry, I love you”
Every night I’d listen to her sobs
My heart wrenching

Does she?
Does she write poems for you?
Do you caress her skin
And whisper the same sweet nothings?
Do you kiss her neck
And leave bite marks on her back?
Does she love more of the things you love?
Does she cry when you ignore her?
Does she miss you as much as I do?
Do you tell her you love her
When it’s pouring rain
Warming her insides
Pulling her close
I’ve loved you for longer
I’ve thought of you more
More than she possible could
But none of that really matters?
You’re so far away from me ...

Bonnie & Clyde
Who’s worse
Me or you?
Let’s play a game
Pick each other’s brains
Let’s ride all day
Spinning in disarray
Let’s die all night
In each others arms
Robbing and stealing
Killing and lying
Passion and feeling
Love is our drug
Fire burning through our veins
If anyone gets in our way
We’ll turn them all to ash
In blood and tears they’ll pay
Hot blooded
And fevered
Let’s wash the blood
From our hands
We’re ruthless and wild
And it feels like heaven ...

Murdered Love
You deleted
You erased
All of the
I love you’s
But you keep
The images
Of me exposed
To degrade me
I’d never met anyone
Who could twist and distort love
Into such a mutilated mess
Butchered, broken, bleeding
You’ve turned love
Into a curse
That you only show
With hate
Your lips are unworthy
Of uttering
I love you
You erased
All of the
I love you’s
But you keep
The images
Of me exposed
To degrade me
I’d never met anyone
Who could twist and distort love
Into such a mutilated mess
Butchered, broken, bleeding
You’ve turned love
Into a curse
That you only show
With hate
Your lips are unworthy
Of uttering
I love you

Tears & Blood
When you stole from me
It felt like you were ripping me in two
My lips twitching
But there was no audible sound
My heart tumbled out in front of you
Then you took a meat mallet
And beat my heart
Until it was paper thin
You cut your finger
On the edge of my paper heart
So out of anger, again
You tore it apart
Then with pieces of tape
You wrapped what you stole
With my paper heart
And sold my love
There I was with an empty chest
Eyes filled with tears
A painful mess ...
It felt like you were ripping me in two

But there was no audible sound

On the edge of my paper heart
So out of anger, again
You tore it apart
Then with pieces of tape
You wrapped what you stole
With my paper heart
And sold my love
There I was with an empty chest
Eyes filled with tears
A painful mess ...

I hate all of the poems I wrote for you
I hate all of the poems
I wrote for you
The way I laid my heart bare
Exposing my feelings
It sickens me to read
My weak words
Written on tear stained paper
Useless and pointless
I want to rip them all to shreds
And let the pieces cascade
Then lie on the remains
Whimpering your name
I wrote for you
The way I laid my heart bare
Exposing my feelings
It sickens me to read
My weak words
Written on tear stained paper
Useless and pointless
I want to rip them all to shreds
And let the pieces cascade
Then lie on the remains
Whimpering your name

Every minute of everyday
It hurts so terribly
The aching in my bones
Am I supposed to pretend
That I don’t think of you everyday?
When the sun rises
And I open my eyes
I stare blankly at my phone
No messages
I force myself out of bed
I force myself through the day
But whenever I pause
You climb into my mind
When I get home I crawl into bed
But that’s when the thoughts get worse
All the things I’m dying to say
Everything
I force my eyes shut
And there you are
I reach out and say
“Do you know...
The aching in my bones
Am I supposed to pretend
That I don’t think of you everyday?
When the sun rises
And I open my eyes
I stare blankly at my phone
No messages
I force myself out of bed
I force myself through the day
But whenever I pause
You climb into my mind
When I get home I crawl into bed
But that’s when the thoughts get worse
All the things I’m dying to say
Everything
I force my eyes shut
And there you are
I reach out and say
“Do you know...

In between the lines
I wish I could tell you
I wish I could write you something
That would help you understand the torment inside me
The way my eyes sting
When you don’t respond to me
Or the way my chest clenches
After your every word
I think about every little thing
I play it back
Trying to understand
What I did wrong
But after all these thoughts
About you and me
You still don’t understand
And you don’t care
So I’ll write to myself
And try to find comfort
In between the lines
Of you and...

Expiry
Everyone’s feelings are fickle
And have an expiry date
It’s just a matter of time
Heartbreak happens
When one person’s love
Expires before the other person’s
And have an expiry date
It’s just a matter of time
Heartbreak happens
When one person’s love
Expires before the other person’s

This is the last one, maybe
Every time I tell myself
This is the last poem
I’ll write about you
But I lose myself
And always end up writing
Two... or three... more

Try and break me
I’m sick
I’m tired
From being pushed and pulled
Like a rag doll
You were sticking pins
Into me
Like a voodoo doll
Playing with me like a Barbie
But there was no dream house
You treated me like a plastic toy
That you could easily snap
But I’m not made of plastic
I’m blood, flesh and bones
You thought you snapped
My plastic limbs
But my bones are tougher
And I’m still standing
Try and break me
I’m tired
From being pushed and pulled
Like a rag doll
You were sticking pins
Into me
Like a voodoo doll
Playing with me like a Barbie
But there was no dream house
You treated me like a plastic toy
That you could easily snap
But I’m not made of plastic
I’m blood, flesh and bones
You thought you snapped
My plastic limbs
But my bones are tougher
And I’m still standing
Try and break me

Watch me bleed onto these pages
Let me lay my feelings out
Let me scream them raw
Until my throat becomes sore
Let me walk to to guillotine
Let me stretch out my neck
Until the truth drops
Let the truth cut me
Let it cut through these lies
Lies that I wear like skin
Let the blood pour like truth
Spilling everywhere
Staining everything
Pass me my knife
My pen
And watch me bleed
Onto these pages
Let me scream them raw
Until my throat becomes sore
Let me walk to to guillotine
Let me stretch out my neck
Until the truth drops
Let the truth cut me
Let it cut through these lies
Lies that I wear like skin
Let the blood pour like truth
Spilling everywhere
Staining everything
Pass me my knife
My pen
And watch me bleed
Onto these pages
