POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I write about everything i go through. Now, after writing a lot about 'angst' and 'darkness' i'm trying to find the perfect balance between darkness and light, depression and happiness.

If I Die
If I die, will you miss me?
Will you cry?
If I give into my pain,
Will you weep?
Will you follow me, too tortured by my memories?
If I die, will I be remembered?
If the answer's yes, what part of me will be the one unforgotten?
The joyful one, or the sinner who couldn't wait to burn?
Oh, sweetheart
I'm at the point of no return
I dream of poisoned cookies, of teacups full of cyanide
If I were straight, I'd be a jock
But since I'm bi, I'm undecided
I could play with cards or with knives
If I die, will you regret all you...
Will you cry?
If I give into my pain,
Will you weep?
Will you follow me, too tortured by my memories?
If I die, will I be remembered?
If the answer's yes, what part of me will be the one unforgotten?
The joyful one, or the sinner who couldn't wait to burn?
Oh, sweetheart
I'm at the point of no return
I dream of poisoned cookies, of teacups full of cyanide
If I were straight, I'd be a jock
But since I'm bi, I'm undecided
I could play with cards or with knives
If I die, will you regret all you...

An Ode to Humanity
Clap your hands for love
For happiness
Clap your hands for hate
For what tears us apart
We are all human, prone to be moody
We are all human, lovely and violent
Dance with me under neon lights
Hold my hand, kiss my forehead
Be there for me, love me for who I am
We are humans,
Lovers and haters
We are souls, dark and pure
We are a mix of things,
Both good and bad
For happiness
Clap your hands for hate
For what tears us apart
We are all human, prone to be moody
We are all human, lovely and violent
Dance with me under neon lights
Hold my hand, kiss my forehead
Be there for me, love me for who I am
We are humans,
Lovers and haters
We are souls, dark and pure
We are a mix of things,
Both good and bad

Drained
Between the trees, there is an ache
A fire burning deeply
It's bound to leave a mark;
It's bound to leave you sore
Up on the hill, there is a boy
He's watching
Staring at you
There's sweat dripping
Lust in the air
Relief comes when you are free;
Free of pain,
Free if tightness
Air returns, a blessing
I have been wanting this forever
Now, It's so close it hurts
Will I walk away unscathed, or deeply changed?
A fire burning deeply
It's bound to leave a mark;
It's bound to leave you sore
Up on the hill, there is a boy
He's watching
Staring at you
There's sweat dripping
Lust in the air
Relief comes when you are free;
Free of pain,
Free if tightness
Air returns, a blessing
I have been wanting this forever
Now, It's so close it hurts
Will I walk away unscathed, or deeply changed?

Edge of The World
We swam together to the other side of the world
We fought the odds,
Came out stronger and braver
Still, my love, things weren't perfect
Slowly, we drifted apart
Tell me how to fix things
I want back our joy, our bliss
For some reason, though, I can't recover anything
The more I try to make things work, the more I mess them up
And it's driving me mad, love
I'm standing on the edge of the world,
Wondering if I should jump or not
We accomplished tons of things
We were blessed, meant to be
But we were't really, darling
All that...

The more I try to make things work, the more I mess them up

In The Garden
When you came into my life,
Everything was a mess
You brought me light,
Fought away my fears
But honey, you were planting seeds
Behind my back, you were saying things I never thought you would
You called me fake,
Said I was just an imitation
You called me a loser,
Said I'd never amount too much
Well, let's look at us
Check who's still standing, and shut your mouth
Oh, love
I'll bury all my resentment in the garden
I'll let you leave, and I'll mourn
I'll mourn you as if you've truly died
I'll keep all you secrets, like...

Innocence
I am the long lost love
The feelings choking you,
Leaving you without breath
I am the things keeping you awake at night
And if you could, would you run away with me tonight?
Would you disappear into the dawn?
I'm running away, and i would be delighted if you could come with me
Forget about your chores
They are limits, boundaries set to keep you repressed
Come with me to a long lost land,
A place where innocence reigns
You and i, we will be free
You'll swim with the mermaids while i kiss Peter Pan
For only one night, i'll let...

What I Want
And I don't want a friend
I don't want a companion, either
I just want someone who cares
Someone who'll hold my hand when I feel alone
Family won't help
They love, but judge and complain
What I want is simpler;
Someone to love me without any restraint
Oh, I don't ask for much
I just want love
Someone who'll kiss and make love to me
Someone who'll care, who'll never let me hurt myself
If you find what I want,
Please, be nice
I won't take away your glee,
Just be good, share with me
I don't want a companion, either
I just want someone who cares
Someone who'll hold my hand when I feel alone
Family won't help
They love, but judge and complain
What I want is simpler;
Someone to love me without any restraint
Oh, I don't ask for much
I just want love
Someone who'll kiss and make love to me
Someone who'll care, who'll never let me hurt myself
If you find what I want,
Please, be nice
I won't take away your glee,
Just be good, share with me

Careful
Be careful
My mind is a place you'd rather not visit
Be gentle
With one word, you can bring me down
I'm as fragile as glass,
As volatile as gasoline
And don't get too close to me
Just like a bomb,
I could explode
I'm too sensitive for my own good
Say the word, and I'm in tears
Forsake my love
Exorcise your caring
All things given by me end up hurting the receiver,
Because I'm nothing but a ball of raw pain
My mind is a place you'd rather not visit
Be gentle
With one word, you can bring me down
I'm as fragile as glass,
As volatile as gasoline
And don't get too close to me
Just like a bomb,
I could explode
I'm too sensitive for my own good
Say the word, and I'm in tears
Forsake my love
Exorcise your caring
All things given by me end up hurting the receiver,
Because I'm nothing but a ball of raw pain

Shade
My heart won't break anymore
After all It's been through, it has gone hollow
All that's left is this;
A dull and grey shade of who I was
And I won't feel anymore
I'll just stare at you,
Wishing I could get them butterflies
But I can't
I'm so far gone, I don't feel a thing
Look at me
Or more precisely,
Look at what's left of who I was
Don't you feel disgusted?
Doesn't looking at me just make you want to cry?
There's nothing wrong with me,
You say
That's a lie,
One I've grown sick of hearing
There's so much...

Reflection
Wait 'till you scream at me again
You'll find yourself incomplete,
Missing your jaw
I'm not being overly graphic;
I'm being truthful
Scream at me again and I swear,
You'll find yourself bleeding to death
My eyes will cry no more
They've run out of tears
And you won't hear my voice again;
I've run out of insults to scream
I can't even look at you
The person I knew is gone;
She's been replaced by poison
By bitterness and hate
Fool, i've run out of care
About you, I no longer give a damn
And if you dare address...
You'll find yourself incomplete,
Missing your jaw
I'm not being overly graphic;

And you won't hear my voice again;

Blue Blue Blue
Here I go again
Hiding in a room,
Clutching pillows that aren't even mine
But that's alright, I guess
At least I'm being me
It's so easy for the world
All they do is put on a mask and go
Sadly, I can't do the same
I can't hide my scars or my pain,
And that makes it hurt even more
And how can I be free,
If I isolate myself?
How can I be loved,
If I fear the littlest touch?
I'm nothing but a pariah,
Condemned to forever want things I'll never have
I no longer feel the tears I cry
I'm so used to crying,

Astronomy
My star, where have you gone?
My sky is dark without your light
I'm lying on wet grass,
Longing to see you
Lovely star, where have you gone?
Have you chosen to to desert me, much like the rest?
There might be tons like you, but none compare
Your light is unique, the only one I truly appreciate
My star, where have you gone?
I can't see you
Neither can my telescope
My star, where have you gone?
Did the darkness swallow you?
Oh, tell me
Answer me
I can't stay like this, wondering if I'll ever see you again
I wipe away...
