POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
You
My ink has dried up
My fingers crack and shake
My thoughts are empty
My insides churn and ache
Where did all the beauty go?
The colors have been muted
I beg, I plead, I bargain
But all hope has been polluted
I’ve choked on my own words
My pale lips a dark blue
Gurgling on the letters
Y-o-u.
My fingers crack and shake
My thoughts are empty
My insides churn and ache
Where did all the beauty go?
The colors have been muted
I beg, I plead, I bargain
But all hope has been polluted
I’ve choked on my own words
My pale lips a dark blue
Gurgling on the letters
Y-o-u.

Your loyal girl
And I'll always come crawling back to you
On my bruised hands and knees
Even though I know I've done nothing wrong
I'll pled for your forgiveness
To be touched by your hand that marked me a moment ago
To feel reassurance that I am yours
I'll sit and stay and do all that you ask
Because I know that i'll never leave you
I'm your loyal little girl
Don't bite the hand that feeds you
So i don't
I kiss it tenderly after it has stained my skin
I'll roll over backwards for your every demand
I didn't mean to shy away as you dashed towards me angry...
On my bruised hands and knees

Because I know that i'll never leave you
I'm your loyal little girl
Don't bite the hand that feeds you
So i don't
I kiss it tenderly after it has stained my skin
I'll roll over backwards for your every demand

Blackened state
I haven't moved in what feels like a century.
I can not see.
Am I awake or asleep?
I can not tell.
My legs can not bend nor my arms fold.
I can not feel the warmth of the sunlight or bask in the moonlight.
Where am I?
I do not know.
I want to call for help but my throat feels full of sand.
I want to breath but my lungs will not expand.
I'm in a dark hole.
One that I can not escape from on my own.
But oddly, I find myself in a comfortable state.
I don't want to move.
I don't want to leave.
Maybe just this once, I'll...
I can not see.

Delightful hell
I want to live forever in your heart
Dismantle me baby
Scratch open my chest
Review my black art
You might hate my words
I've never been quite well
Explore my insides
You're a paradise called hell
I can't erase your touch
Your voice telling me goodnight
Drag me home darling
Let me know delight
Dismantle me baby
Scratch open my chest
Review my black art
You might hate my words
I've never been quite well
Explore my insides
You're a paradise called hell
I can't erase your touch
Your voice telling me goodnight
Drag me home darling
Let me know delight

Colorless boy
Everything about him was gray
His hair
His smoke
His dreams
He saw in black and white
White walls
Black shadows
White screens
Everything moved in slow motion
His life
His heart
His screams
Life always felt like it was falling
The waves
The leaves
Teenage esteem
His hair
His smoke
His dreams
He saw in black and white
White walls
Black shadows
White screens
Everything moved in slow motion
His life
His heart
His screams
Life always felt like it was falling
The waves
The leaves
Teenage esteem

Eye sore
I can't hear your name without blood boiling in my vains
You dance like a joke and sing in the pouring rain
Disgust and anger fill me brim at the sight of your face
Spit out all your bitter words; what an awful taste
Your eyes full of lies and every time you speak
I feel my brain cells die and my knowledge weak
You truly are nothing but a hopeless waste of space
A putrid human being and a vast disgrace
You dance like a joke and sing in the pouring rain
Disgust and anger fill me brim at the sight of your face
Spit out all your bitter words; what an awful taste
Your eyes full of lies and every time you speak
I feel my brain cells die and my knowledge weak
You truly are nothing but a hopeless waste of space
A putrid human being and a vast disgrace

The goodbye
For a moment I thought I smelled you in my sheets
My heart stopped but yet it still beats
I sunk my face deep within the threads
Remembering the details of your face; every word you've ever said
Fragments of memories speed by my eyes
Shaking at the terrible way you decided to say goodbye
I tried to reach out and grab the scene
But some times you have to wake up, and remember it's a dream
My heart stopped but yet it still beats
I sunk my face deep within the threads
Remembering the details of your face; every word you've ever said
Fragments of memories speed by my eyes
Shaking at the terrible way you decided to say goodbye
I tried to reach out and grab the scene
But some times you have to wake up, and remember it's a dream

Lovers quarrel
I wish I could make you scream and send you away
You forgotten soul, your mind went astray
The echo in your heart
Breath life away
Hold your head up high
Baby stay here for a bite
I wish I could remember your name
Replay my thoughts
I wish I could see those eyes
As your body I've come to tame
Don't forget this night
For my pulse shot high
Don't forget these sheets
I don't want to be alright
I saw something in the midst of your eyes
Something so lonely you yet to disguise
I vowed that day I'd never lose sight...
You forgotten soul, your mind went astray

Don't forget this night

Boiling anticipation
This is not a nightmare
It's far from that
Anticipation boils under my skin
Light seems to be piercing through the darkest places in my mind
I can't sit still
I can't help but breath rapidly
I can't help but be afraid
But in the most pleasant of ways
Id wander blind if I knew you were walking near by
I'd trust you to take the blindfold from my eyes and grace me with your face
For me to melt within your emerald jewels
And fall at your feet
To have you pick me back up
And tenderly kiss my cheek
It's far from that
Anticipation boils under my skin
Light seems to be piercing through the darkest places in my mind
I can't sit still
I can't help but breath rapidly
I can't help but be afraid
But in the most pleasant of ways
Id wander blind if I knew you were walking near by
I'd trust you to take the blindfold from my eyes and grace me with your face
For me to melt within your emerald jewels
And fall at your feet
To have you pick me back up
And tenderly kiss my cheek

Memories
I wish I was laying with you instead of these pillows and sheets
I want to put my fingers in your hair and feather trough every strand
For you to press your hand on my cheek And kiss my nose
You'd lay with me once again tangled in blankets
Wrapped in the warmth of your body and your faint breathing
I want to be able to hear you whisper the words 'I love you' again
I'm begging you to keep haunting me
I want to put my fingers in your hair and feather trough every strand
For you to press your hand on my cheek And kiss my nose
You'd lay with me once again tangled in blankets
Wrapped in the warmth of your body and your faint breathing
I want to be able to hear you whisper the words 'I love you' again
I'm begging you to keep haunting me

Why
What did I do wrong
What have I done that people always leave me for
Being cheated on and left behind
Always wallowing
Always wondering
Always worrying
Just someone please
Don't leave me
I don't want to be alone anymore
I crave your touch
I keep finding myself afraid of the possibilities
But I don't find myself afraid to jump
Please don't leave me
Someone
Dear god
Don't leave me
What have I done that people always leave me for
Being cheated on and left behind
Always wallowing
Always wondering
Always worrying
Just someone please
Don't leave me
I don't want to be alone anymore
I crave your touch
I keep finding myself afraid of the possibilities
But I don't find myself afraid to jump
Please don't leave me
Someone
Dear god
Don't leave me

I'm not so sure
As I lay down I can't help but think to myself
My past, my present, my future
Each one terrifies me more and more as the days go on
I can't help but indulge myself in the bitterness of my past
What if I had just changed one small detail...
Would I have been better?
For the road I walk on now I don't know where I'm going
I just hopped on and ran with it
And that's all I can keep doing
Running
My future is one horrifying thing
I'm not sure what it holds
I'm not sure I want to know..
I just want to keep running
And running
Til I'm...
