POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I usually write songs which are emotional and the things that happened with me
Rose
You were a rose, you were a rose
Always been one too beautiful
Stepped on and stumbled upon
Been broken but never stopped
Kept losing the petals of you
I watched you with just one left
You still didn’t let it show
You still didn’t let me know
Until one day you broke down completely
Lying on the bed so helpless
I heard you cry and I wept
That day took so much of me
And you were left with so little inside
The phone kept ringing
But no one came on the other side
It was the day I realized
You want the last...
Always been one too beautiful
Stepped on and stumbled upon
Been broken but never stopped
Kept losing the petals of you
I watched you with just one left
You still didn’t let it show
You still didn’t let me know
Until one day you broke down completely
Lying on the bed so helpless
I heard you cry and I wept
That day took so much of me
And you were left with so little inside
The phone kept ringing
But no one came on the other side
It was the day I realized

Come Undone
Overwhelmed by the lies inside your eyes
Trying to break down the glass without causing any harm
But it never goes as planned, never as planned
Why do you hold me close only to watch me slip away?
Why do you want me around but never there yourself?
Do you think it is fair when you compare
What I do for you and what you do for me
It is so hard to see all that you do
Because it rarely is anything at all
Don't you see the light that once was in my eyes when you came around
It has disappeared now that you are never here
And now I can't see the...

Sleep Darling
There isn't a thing I could say or do to bring you back
Not a word or an action
To pull you back through the permanent darkness
And tonight it hovers above
Cutting through my heart
Knowing you are already gone
And there is no coming back
I am so sorry, you had to go
In a way just so unfair
No you didn't deserve that
No one deserves that
I am so sorry, you are not here anymore
And all that I can say is
That you have gone to a better place
You may not be here tonight or tomorrow
You will continue to live on forever...

No one deserves that

Tales of my mind at four
It's 4 o clock in the morning
And I am wide awake
Thinking of somebody I don't know who
To help me get through
This lonely haunting hour
I know it is late
But I don't know how to keep these thoughts away
As I try to follow the motion of the ceiling fan
I feel the rush that is building up
I do not know what I want
I do not care if I live or die
I just want this to go away
Far away so I can get some peace of mind
And I keep on hoping that someone will come
Rescue me from all that has made me numb
Scare away...

Broken Pieces
Look inside the soul you hold
That is growing cold
Still you can't seem to do anything
You're afraid of the damage it is bringing to your mind and body
And you're petrified you will only get worse
Looking for someone to save you
Fight the troubles for you
But baby only you can fight through your battles
Only you can push it all away
Sure, it will be really hard
And it will take a lot of time
Know that you aren't alone through this battle
I will be your armor and keep you from harm
And all that is gone
I will...

Don't Search For Me, It's Only Agony
If, if you wanna see
How I used to be
Look for me in the memories
Polaroid photographs and all the autographs
In your diaries, in your diaries
If, if you wanna feel
How it used to be
Listen to the songs
We used to sing along
In my car, in my car
If you call out my name
You will only be followed by my silhouette
Following you everywhere you go
You will never see me again
Cause I will always be
Running away from you
And no you can't catch me now
If, if you wanna know
How I am doing...
How I used to be
Look for me in the memories
Polaroid photographs and all the autographs
In your diaries, in your diaries

If you call out my name
You will only be followed by my silhouette
Following you everywhere you go
You will never see me again
Cause I will always be
Running away from you
And no you can't catch me now
If, if you wanna know

Your Picture
Your picture in my hand wondering where I am
Your picture smiling at me yet I am crying
I can hear your whisper in my ears
Oh yeah you are saying don’t give up
But that does not make any sense
In this deep silence between you and me
The only thing I can hear is my heartbeat
Your picture telling me to stay strong
To get along to move on
I keep thinking of you left me much too soon
And now you’re already gone gone
Is there something I could do to bring you back?
Oh no no no no
Knowing the answer still finding a way to break...

Don't Come Back
You said it
The words I was begging not to hear from you
You forced me to say goodbye yet again
But it didn’t really hurt me
Was it because I was ready to hear what you said
Or because I have become a stone that won’t feel anything at all
I knew you will leave me for him
Well fuck him
I knew this will happen
I had known it all the way back
You walked away from me
But I never thought it would be this soon
Please don’t come back runnin asking for forgiveness
Cause I will never ever ever forgive you
After all I have been through...

Wish
You were my everything
Everything I needed
I would have never let you go
You were the best thing best thing I had
I loved to be around you oh around you
Wish I could pull you back to me
Oh if I had a wish
It would be something I missed
I want you so bad and I've gone mad missing you
I never thought you could really go
You just vanished and became a wish
I'd give everything to be with you again
Every time I close my eyes I see your glimpse
Now I am left with all those beautiful memories
I wish I could kiss you right now ...

Let It Burn
Finally I have set you free
Free from this heart of mine that feels
New things are about to come my way
And I owe this to myself
Don't got no fears
Don't got no tears
Only got hope for the new beginnings
And sure as hell it's time
It's about time
Let me lift my hands up in the air
You should know that I give no care
Now don't you even dare
To bring me down
I have become too strong and fierce
And I don't need anymore time
Because it's now my turn to shine
And your turn to let it burn and whine
God knows I have...

Purifying your head from all that is bad
Heavy eyelids, deep breathing
All the things we believe in
Doesn't always turn out to be good
Crumbling down, fear of it always around
Emptiness, hollow chest
Being let down time after time
It is beginning to find
A place in your mind
And all that you feel is regret
Yet what you do is repeat
Now this is something you should think about
Not staying in control of your self efficacy
It will only lead you to self destruction and doubt
Save yourself from all of the troubles
Give everything you have got to give
Strive away from...

Leaning for help
Who i am and who i was
Are on two extremely different poles
Excruciating, all these thoughts
Make me want to get out of my body
But it is that i have to be
No where else can i be myself
So i take all this pain
And never give out anything to anyone
Cause what i am
Nobody can comprehend, apprehend
There's no need to amend
The shit that's in my head
It is the only thing that makes me feel alive and dead at the very same time
Inside, i am screaming to let me out
Outside, i may seem like i am leaning for help
Understand this is...
