POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Uh... I'm not much of a poet... But I try...
What if?
You're a wonderful man,
With a charming,
Almost-devilish,
Grin spread
Ear-to-ear.
Why settle for the
Paranoia-ridden,
Band kid,
That's silent,
And constantly ignored?
The fault,
My dear,
Is not that you have settled,
But you came up with a plan,
As devious as your smile.
A fuck buddy,
No attachment required,
Just being human,
And messing around,
That's all you ever wanted.
I want you for so much more,
I'd treat you like you should,
Give you all the care you deserve.
I'd make you...

Think happy thoughts...
Think happy thoughts,
think happy thoughts,
think happy thoughts.
I cannot though my dear,
it seems the demons will not disappear.
Enclosing me,
forcing me to live in fear.
They're tormenting me,
tearing me apart.
When I thought they were gone,
that was only their start.
The demons,
they like to torture.
My screams,
they're the drug.
I try so hard to keep it together,
my blood runs cold, i clench my fists.
I need emergency help,
whatever you've got to fucking spare.
The demons don't care who...

I am the Hatter
I'm the one who people say,
Walk all through the night and day.
I'm the hatter, so it seems,
That I am the devil of her dreams.
I'm the one who hurt dear Alice,
By giving her the hardly poisoned chalice.
Poor Alice was knocked out cold,
While all the catastrophe was to unfold.
Finger-pointing had ensued,
Whilst I bid them all adieu
None had ever thought to suspect,
That the one who'd done it was cold ask heck.
Yes, my heart's cold as ice,
But that always helped with their demise.

Alice was Mad.
Go ask Alice and you'll see,
The mess she'd made of me.
She'd turned me mad,
Insane if you must.
But Alice cared none,
She took it as a game-quite fun.
Perhaps she'd tell the story,
With all the gruesome details.
But this is Alice dear,
She seems afraid of nothing.
Why do you ask,
As to how she made me mad?
That story is another time,
This story's about Alice.
If you must know,
Alice herself went mad.
It seemed as though no wrong had happened,
But it seemed the...

Words I'll never say...
When I start to feel cared about,
I end up getting hurt...
When I start to trust,
You make me break...
Two whole years of this shit,
Wouldn't someone else have given up?
Maybe if they didn't care as much as I do,
But I'm just another girl you talk to...
Can you see it?
Look deep enough and you can...
Can you see the tears I've cried?
What about the torment?
Maybe if you'd pay attention...
Not everyone is like her...
Some people do care...
I know someone who does...
I know how much you miss her,...

My Darling Twisted Dreamer..
My Darling Twisted Dreamer..
I love you.
But that you already knew.
My dearest, it has come to me,
That we are not like we used to be.
We used to talk for hours at a time,
Writing multiple "I love you" 's on every line.
We would always write sappy little letters,
And send them before bed so we could dream better.
It seems our love has faded,
But I'm here now to improve it.
My dear, you are like a cherry blossom tree.
You're so beautiful, it brings me to my knees.

This is Halloween
Children running around,
Dressed in costumes,
Door to door,
Looking for candy.
Parents had unsuspectingly sent their children out,
Thinking nothing bad will happen.
They were wrong.
There are two kinds of Halloween people,
The good ones who give out candies,
The bad ones who kidnap children,
And there's me.
The scariest thing alive,
Some call me a beast,
It's not my fault that I'm an "undead freak."
I am human,
With many different characteristics.
You may say you like steak,

Twisted Dreamer
This is the tale,
Of the one they call the "Twisted Dreamer"
She looks just like one of us.
Her hair long,
Blonde on the top,
Auburn on the bottom.
Normal height,
Normal dress,
She seemed completely normal.
But nobody knew.
Nobody knew just went on in that pretty little head of hers.
She could seem as normal as she wanted during the day,
But at night,
Things changed.
Everything in her dreams was caused by her.
Never would she kill anything in real life,
But when she dreamed,
Everything had changed....

He Shall Be Nameless
There is this guy,
He shall remain nameless;
He know's that I have a crush on him,
But I don't think it's understood,
About just how much he means to me-
I'd give the world up for him if I could.
So let me paint you a pretty picture.
One with many colors and hues,
About all the things that I have done,
Each one of these for you.
I never seemed to listen,
To the things that they had said.
Never once telling a soul
Just what was going on in my head.
I have always liked you,
No matter what anyone said.
Their...

Something More...
From the start,
I knew I'd end up giving you my heart.
Now that I have,
hold it closer to yours.
I want us to be together,
I want us to both be happy,
I want us to be more.
Not just "friends", I mean something more.
I want us to be able to tell each other 'I love you' and not care.
I want to be yours.
Your girl,
Your world,
Your one,
Your only.
Please say you want this too...
Do you?
Do you love me?
I love you...

I hate you.
There are many differences between us.
I act my age, older some may say.
You act like you're four, and expect me to believe you.
You want what's best for you,
Nobody else matters.
Not even me, your so-called 'best friend'.
You tell me that you aren't meaning to do the things you do,
"I'm not flirting with him!" You lied.
"I'll never do it again!" Once again, a lie.
I hate you and all of your lies.
I wanted us to be closer,
But you sacrificed our 'friendship'
If you knew how much pain you cause,

Like the Liar You Are
My life has gone into another downward spiral, bound to hit the floor and go out with an ear-splitting bang.
Why would you care though?
It's not like you have ever cared about me. Only yourself.
"Annie, I love him, I really really do."
No you don't you little liar, keep telling yourself that and have fun becoming an even bigger SLUT than
you already are!
The term you use as 'love' means nothing to you, its a mere toy used whenever to whomever.
Like it has no meaning behind it.
"But... but... I do love him! He makes me...
