POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Forgotten
There are messages out there
For people who used to know
One another
They search
Keeping their hopes up
Forever hoping
To find the one
Who made their day brighter
Who understood
They're gone
And they're not coming back
Not for you
Or me
I promise
They don't remember you
Like you remember them
They don't lay awake at night
Wondering how you are doing
Long since moved on with life
Here we are once again
Recalling the people we knew
Hoping they still love us
For people who used to know
One another
They search
Keeping their hopes up
Forever hoping
To find the one
Who made their day brighter
Who understood
They're gone
And they're not coming back
Not for you
Or me
I promise
They don't remember you
Like you remember them
They don't lay awake at night
Wondering how you are doing
Long since moved on with life
Here we are once again
Recalling the people we knew
Hoping they still love us

Avoiding myself
I've skirted the situation
For more years than I
Am proud to admit
Everyone is great
Except that one guy
Who looks at me
From the other side of the mirror
Fuck him
I'm stuck behind this
While he gets to enjoy the world
(Or he pretends to)
I wish
He'd just stay away
For more years than I
Am proud to admit
Everyone is great
Except that one guy
Who looks at me
From the other side of the mirror
Fuck him
I'm stuck behind this
While he gets to enjoy the world
(Or he pretends to)
I wish
He'd just stay away

Emotinally numb
Absent and unavailable
A fucking mess
Yes
I've been alone
Ever since
Not by chance
But choice
A choice that was easy to make
And difficult to live by
God damnit
It didn't take much did it
To get me to say
I tried
Absent and unavailable
A fucking mess
Yes
I've been alone
Ever since
Not by chance
But choice
A choice that was easy to make
And difficult to live by
God damnit
It didn't take much did it
To get me to say
I tried

Everything is fine.
Everything is fine
I'm just not very good at
This whole
Life thing
I can't help you raise your child
He's not mine
I can't help you heal those wounds
I didn't open them
I'm sorry
Not because that I didn't
Or don't
Want to but
I just can't
Take the constant judgement
The coldness
The indifference
I loved you
Take me for granted
Compare me to others
Until I look better
We won't even talk
Have a nice life
...

Genuine
An honest mask
What a joke
Let me put on my face
Smile real
Real nice
With extra false promises
Give me that build me up
Up
Up
Up
And god damn it
You'd better tear me down
What else am I supposed to do
With my day off
What a joke
Let me put on my face
Smile real
Real nice
With extra false promises
Give me that build me up
Up
Up
Up
And god damn it
You'd better tear me down
What else am I supposed to do
With my day off

Who cares?
I've worn many crowns
In my life
Not one felt like
Mine
If I push them away
I will lose the only family I have
I'm pretty damn lonely
As it is
I'll stick to the crutches
I can get my hands on
Thanks Doc
But I don't need your pills
Just a smoke and a drink
Thank you father
But I don't need your friends
I'm just as lonely
Amongst the two I have
In my life
Not one felt like
Mine
If I push them away
I will lose the only family I have
I'm pretty damn lonely
As it is
I'll stick to the crutches
I can get my hands on
Thanks Doc
But I don't need your pills
Just a smoke and a drink
Thank you father
But I don't need your friends
I'm just as lonely
Amongst the two I have

You
Always did
What gave you
Pleasure
I admire that
That happiness
Was like drunkeness
We were ready
And willing
To make all the wrong
Decisions
And if that
Search
Led you away
Well
Memories
I guess

Quiet
Only so many times
Can you be
Forgotten
In a way
I suppose I don't
Feel
Upset about it
Can you be
Forgotten
In a way
I suppose I don't
Feel
Upset about it

I owe it to ya
Do me a favor
If you will
Forget that you met me
Or know me
Its better for both of us
If only one of us
Is
Happy
If you will
Forget that you met me
Or know me
Its better for both of us
If only one of us
Is
Happy

Hard lessons
A chill
Four in the morning
A warm bed
Eight years later
It
Still holds me back
Shame really
I won't be here
To enjoy it
Four in the morning
A warm bed
Eight years later
It
Still holds me back
Shame really
I won't be here
To enjoy it

8 foot step
I've carried
A ladder for
Over
Half my life.
Its never gotten me
Anywhere
I needed
To be.
Reaching.

Hey,
I know you're busy
but
If you want to talk,
just let me know
Okay?
