POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
You lost me
You told me when I'm blind and old that you would care for me
You lied
I'm not blind or old
I am lost and young
While you are nowhere to be found
A man at twenty one is rare to find
You saw my struggle and you turned your back
Twenty one with so long still to go
So young that my recovery will be swift
The memories of us will never go away
Your scars are now a sign of strength, not weakness
I choose not only to recover but to improve
Improve for myself not you
For you have made your choice
You lied
I'm not blind or old
I am lost and young
While you are nowhere to be found
A man at twenty one is rare to find
You saw my struggle and you turned your back
Twenty one with so long still to go
So young that my recovery will be swift
The memories of us will never go away
Your scars are now a sign of strength, not weakness
I choose not only to recover but to improve
Improve for myself not you
For you have made your choice

Reflections
I am a bad person
You will not persuade me that
I am a good man
Because each and every day
I hate myself with the greatest might
I won't lie to anyone by stating
There is good inside my heart
So constantly I remind myself
My life has no meaning, I live a lie
Nothing will make me believe otherwise
No matter what
I am not good enough
I have no right to believe that
I am a good man
Because when I look upon myself
I am forced to think
Am I really that wicked
Now read it backwards.

Short hope
My heart no longer bleeds
But now it burns
Searching for the love it yearns
But now it burns
Searching for the love it yearns

Living hell
This house remains a memory,Of dreams once dreamt up by you and me.
Like you this house is empty, empty where love was once plenty.
A house that you wished to hijack, by simply lying upon your back.
A house whose memories are stained forever more, by the memories of a cunning whore.
Like you this house is empty, empty where love was once plenty.
A house that you wished to hijack, by simply lying upon your back.

Self harm
Trying to blind myself with my vices, smoke and drink are my devices.
All of the mental blight, has in turn taken my eyesight.
I think my time is almost done, which would mean that you have won.
In life we are told to always fight, however I have fought late into the night.
In the dark where blackness is the only thing upon my lips, I wish to feel my wrists blood drip.
Feeling my life drain, steming from my own cut veins.

Feeling my life drain, steming from my own cut veins.

My fallen friend
My brother stuck in a similar fate
Our hearts replacing love with hate
Neither of our lives were great
This is not up for debate
Both our heart beats slowing in rate
Leaving us in a dismal state
We both fell for sorrows bait
A happy life we hoped to create
Both in need of a clean slate
We are crushed by heartaches weight
Our lovers love had no abate
Causing our love in turn to deflate
A mournful soul is not innate
A person's soul is more ornate
In our heads we do berate
How our old lovers intentions of love, were...
Our hearts replacing love with hate
Neither of our lives were great
This is not up for debate
Both our heart beats slowing in rate
Leaving us in a dismal state
We both fell for sorrows bait
A happy life we hoped to create
Both in need of a clean slate
We are crushed by heartaches weight
Our lovers love had no abate
Causing our love in turn to deflate
A mournful soul is not innate
A person's soul is more ornate
In our heads we do berate
How our old lovers intentions of love, were...

Past life
You said that you stopped loving me a couple years ago
You said that you've been fighting but you never let me know
You said that the life we had , it used to be great
But in my mind the life we lived , never had an ending date
You told me you didnt want me, stating I should find another girl
I didn't want to find another girl, I thought you could be my world
You thought the words I spoke were part of a plot inside my head
But the only plot inside my head was the one they would lower me into, When they found that I was dead.

Short stories
You are the image for all the words I write
the reason for all the wars i fight
I wish you knew how hard I fought
I wish you loved me
But you did not.
An empty life, filled with strife.
Thoughts filled with plight, thoughts no one can fight.
Days filled with sorrow, no end in tomorrow.
A stolen soul, replaced with a black hole.

A stolen soul, replaced with a black hole.

Loves storm
You fell upon me
Like rain
I was always afraid
Afraid of your touch
So I donned a coat
Afraid
Of you
If you felt who i was
Would you leave
Or would you wash me away
Sweeping me off my feet
Like the effects
Of the beautiful storm you were
Like rain
I was always afraid
Afraid of your touch
So I donned a coat
Afraid
Of you
If you felt who i was
Would you leave
Or would you wash me away
Sweeping me off my feet
Like the effects
Of the beautiful storm you were

Cold steel
I stood there
I went unnoticed
Raising it to my head
You turned away
I pulled the slide
You didnt hear it
I flipped the safety
You walked away
Will you see me
When I pull the trigger
Will you hear it then?
Will you hear my body?
The thud?
What will you say?
When I no longer see you
Hear you
Live
Will you see me then?
I went unnoticed
Raising it to my head
You turned away
I pulled the slide
You didnt hear it
I flipped the safety
You walked away
Will you see me
When I pull the trigger
Will you hear it then?
Will you hear my body?
The thud?
What will you say?
When I no longer see you
Hear you
Live
Will you see me then?

Your not fit for love
Your whole family is broken
The daughter of a whore
I wish I had awoken
You will be nothing more
Your head is now swollen
With a past you wish to ignore
So much has been left unspoken
My mind is at war
Now my heart lies broken
Over the life of a whore
The daughter of a whore
I wish I had awoken
You will be nothing more
Your head is now swollen
With a past you wish to ignore
So much has been left unspoken
My mind is at war
Now my heart lies broken
Over the life of a whore

Depression haikus #2
My mind is a mess
My life is in disarray
Nothing but weeping
I wish for my death
Not to draw anymore air
This is sweet release
The black is not dark
It is just void of all hope
Even light is void
Hope grows deep in Me
Though is lies beyond my eyes
Grasping for the light
My thoughts still of her
My torn apart heart now stitched
It beats wearily
My life is in disarray
Nothing but weeping
I wish for my death
Not to draw anymore air
This is sweet release
The black is not dark
It is just void of all hope
Even light is void
Hope grows deep in Me
Though is lies beyond my eyes
Grasping for the light
My thoughts still of her
My torn apart heart now stitched
It beats wearily
