POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Im a beginner at this but then again we are all beginners at somthing :)
life
Life is a circle of problems,
A concoction of unforgivable lies,
A small child could drown,
in a pool of tears contributed by 10 people's puffy eyes.
People cry too much in this world, no one wants to laugh or play.
So what happens to all the comedians ?
What happens to all the impressionists?
They contribute to drowning the child
They also get puffy eyes!

why
you hate yourself i dont know why
you see yourself you want to cry
be kind to yourself people say
you want them to go away
impossible goals you have insight
the more you fail the more you fight
All alone inside your mind
leaving all your friends behind
people caring they get in your way
you dont have time to hear what they say
you know deep down that they only care
but holding you back you dont thinks fair.
you think its your body thats holding you back
but self respect is the thing that you lack ...

sigh ....
This still a piece of me that reserved for only you
A flames that still stays lit throughout a dark cold night
no matter where you go no matter what you do
no matter what youve done your corners where i fight.
Im happy when your laughing having fun with all your friends
Im Crying when your saddned the pain it never ends
Ive given up on dreaming it only makes me sad
being just your friend really isnt all that bad
Saying how i feel it only makes you scared
it make me seem so boring
when i told you that i cared
its all...

chase riddle
wanting what you cannot have
having what you do not want
choices are unattractive
Theirs something about the chase
absence makes the heart grow fonder
being knocked back is the challenge
driving for the ultimate goal
the one you do not want
affection is a turn off
a reached goal is no fun
left behind is the moon whilst reaching for the sun
but when the moon has had enough the moon becomes the sun
and if you manage to get the sun and hold it in your arms
the sun really just reflects the moon so you dont give it a chance...

Lust
Lust is like a light switch
Flicking on and off
When you think youve blown the bulb
it lights itself back up
And when you think your ready,
to talk and laugh and smile
knowing in your mind
that it has been a while
the pain comes thumping back
when they talk about another
stating you and them
were never right for each other
you act like you are happy
pleased over the moon
your faces getting redder
you want to leave the room
you feel you need to wake up
stop living in a dream
in your mind its pretty great...

Just friends
your never know because i will never say
my feelings for you never went away
my act is covered with the title friend
I thought by now my heart would mend
Their i stand supporting you
complementing everything you do
listening to how much you like others
at night i cry under the covers.
No matter what you say and do
i just cannot be mean to you
I love you enough to let you go
more then you will ever know
you are my first and last thought of the day
you haunt my dreams at night
im pretty sure my life would end
if...

Thanks
Thanks for the memory's
you were a blast
Thanks for the chemistry
That never did last
Thanks for the laughs
you brightened my soul
Thanks for talking when i lost control
Thanks for the fun
and all of the games
for calling me Hun
instead of my name
Thanks for the hugs
i sometimes received
for squeezing me tight till i couldn't breath
thanks for the support
thanks for the time
now were never court
your never...

The Close
The end of a chapter the close of a book
No going back no final look
under the carpet covered in dust
hidden forever my angry lust
In the beginning back at the start
I never though this would brake my heart
How can you miss what never began
its impossible but somehow I can
confused to the point that ive lost my mind
I need to run leave this all behind
For you love another very different from me
No matter how I change I will never be ...
I don’t even want what most people do
I just long to be close to you
...

The Waiting Game
FOUR LONG YEARS YOU'VE BEEN IN PAIN
WAITING HOPING ALL IN VAIN
LIKE A COBRA WAITING TO STRIKE
WAITING FOR THE ONE YOU LIKE
THE HURT YOU FEEL IS TURNING TO HATE
WILL THIS BE YOUR ONLY FATE
HERE YOU ARE GOING OUT OF YOUR WAY
HOPING THAT YOUR LOVE WILL STAY
OFF WITH EVERY BOY IN TOWN
THIS GIRL HAS JUST LET YOU DOWN
YOU COMFORTED THEM WHEN THEY WAS DOWN
WALKED ALL THE WAY TO A FAR AWAY TOWN
YOU WERE THE SUPPORT THE CRYING SHOULDER
BUT NOW YOU ARE A LITTLE OLDER
WISER TO THIS FRIENDSHIP GAME
YOU WANT...

photographs
I dont keep a mirror on my wall
I dont keep a photo on my shelf
Even though i walk on tall
I do not really like myself
Its photographs i really hate
One fatal click and its too late
brodcasted to a hundred friends
the embarresment just never ends
no matter what my parents say
these faults will never go away
when i get ready of a night
my friends will say you look alright
when really i can plainly see
there just being nice to me
be happy just the way you are
thats easyer siad then done
im happy till i see...

A change of view
You Made me laugh
you made me cry
you made me want to bitch and sigh
Im happy when i see your face
but then you go without a trace
you blank me when i walk on bye
this really hurts, not gonna lie
you need space
i will agree
i know you not the one for me
this funky dress
this pierced face
its never gonna be your taste
ive made myself mad over you
the one who doesnt care
but sometimes when i dance at night im sure i see you stare
a fantasy thats in my mind
now ive left that all behind

back again
Just when i start to forget
I hear from you again
Just like a love sick pet
you take over my brain
i spend my evenings hoping ,
wishing all in vain
that one day in the future you will call my name,
Ive felt this pain for a long time
my heart knows only this
I feel like I'm committing a crime
longing for just one kiss
should i drowned all of my sorrows
or bow my head in shame
sometimes i am angry at you
but your not the one to blame
I wish i could find another you
someone to fill this gap
I'm not...
