POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I write about my life. It's as simple as that. If that isn't what one may consider to be a poet then maybe I'm just a girl that likes to rhyme beautiful words. Whatever I am, I love it and hate it all the same.

My Last Goodbye
I sit in silence contemplating my next course of action
I already took the pills
much to my satisfaction
now I wait to float to the green-rolling hills
I long to go to my final escape
where beings of all backgrounds, races, cultures, and ages
may come to visit and play
I would meet the wise, old sage
and would be reunited with my dear mother
how I have missed her so
I love her like no other
I can wait no longer to go
I feel the deadly sleep sinking in to my veins
there is no one else left to live for
I...

False Hope
Lies
not witnessed in your words
but within your eyes
Care
shown with your gentle hugs
but yet still absent
Knowledge
you lack
of the things I know about you
Hope
I used to have
but you have made me see
Love
ever present in this silly façade
but never meant to be between you and I.

Do You...?
Do you even hear...?
My silent screams as I smile at you each day?
Do you even see...?
The light in my eyes fading as I witness your lies, yet again?
Do you even know...?
How much my heart -aches- for you when I know it will never be?
Do you even care...?
About the heartbroken mess that you have made me?
My silent screams as I smile at you each day?
Do you even see...?
The light in my eyes fading as I witness your lies, yet again?
Do you even know...?
How much my heart -aches- for you when I know it will never be?
Do you even care...?
About the heartbroken mess that you have made me?

I'll Be In The Garden
Her mind was a secret garden
and the walls were very high
She used to flash a smile
that brightened the darkest skies
But behind her smile
laid a broken heart
and behind her laugh
she slowly fell apart
Hidden away from all the world
where no one could witness the tears
She never needed anyone
to help battle the addiction and fear
So in the secret garden she would stay
with only her thoughts... alone
waiting patiently while dreaming of the day
when she would find her soul a home
and the walls were very high
She used to flash a smile
that brightened the darkest skies
But behind her smile
laid a broken heart
and behind her laugh
she slowly fell apart
Hidden away from all the world
where no one could witness the tears
She never needed anyone
to help battle the addiction and fear
So in the secret garden she would stay
with only her thoughts... alone
waiting patiently while dreaming of the day
when she would find her soul a home

Life's Broken Road
I walk alone
on this cold, desolate street
hoping to encounter
no strangers to greet
with my broken smile
and tear-stained face
the rain washes away
the crimson stains
the sick, twisted thoughts
that flood my mind
I remember the lies
as I contemplate suicide
I continue to wander
along this long-winding road
attempting to escape sorrow
but, of course, there's only one way out
so please don't think you'll see me tomorrow
on this cold, desolate street
hoping to encounter
no strangers to greet
with my broken smile
and tear-stained face
the rain washes away
the crimson stains
the sick, twisted thoughts
that flood my mind
I remember the lies
as I contemplate suicide
I continue to wander
along this long-winding road
attempting to escape sorrow
but, of course, there's only one way out
so please don't think you'll see me tomorrow

The Beginning and the Ending
Death is only the beginning.
The beginning of grieving,
the beginning of self-hatred,
the beginning of guilt,
the beginning of the End.
Life is only the beginning.
The beginning of pain,
the beginning of love,
the beginning of knowledge,
the beginning of everything.
Death is only the end.
The end of hurt,
the end of sorrow,
the end of regret,
the end of Life.
Life is only the end.
The end of innocence,
the end of purity,
the end of wholesomeness,
the end of the Good.
The beginning of grieving,
the beginning of self-hatred,
the beginning of guilt,
the beginning of the End.
Life is only the beginning.
The beginning of pain,
the beginning of love,
the beginning of knowledge,
the beginning of everything.
Death is only the end.
The end of hurt,
the end of sorrow,
the end of regret,
the end of Life.
Life is only the end.
The end of innocence,
the end of purity,
the end of wholesomeness,
the end of the Good.

My Guardian Angel
I hear the soothing coos of the mourning dove,
just as I too have lost a love.
My mother it seems has faded from my memory.
And all I can hear is the haunting melody
of cries of pain, screams, the agony in which she spread,
to me.
As I saw her laying on the bed I wondered soon when it would end.
Foolish me thought it was just a painful panic attack
When what was in store was much more than something simple as that.
I believed her false truth
and went to the bathroom
to get ready for school
just another day in the classroom
and when I came...
just as I too have lost a love.
My mother it seems has faded from my memory.
And all I can hear is the haunting melody
of cries of pain, screams, the agony in which she spread,
to me.
As I saw her laying on the bed I wondered soon when it would end.
Foolish me thought it was just a painful panic attack
When what was in store was much more than something simple as that.

I Have Fallen...
I lay here, facedown in the snow.
I hear nothing. It seems I've been left alone.
So then tell me why am I here?
I cannot recall has it been
Days?
Months?
Years?
Off in the distance I finally see
a red piece of paper stuck in a Willow tree.
The paper said
" Believe in Hope,
Erase Your Past,
Move on."
And so I sat there and memorized every word
For what seemed like Forever,
and ever,
and ever........
Until I heard the alarm go off......
I hear nothing. It seems I've been left alone.
So then tell me why am I here?
I cannot recall has it been
Days?
Months?

Off in the distance I finally see

The End of Me
I have these dreams
they always haunt me
they remind me of what I once did
and how I am no longer me.
I am the darkness
one of the shadows of the night
I have whispers of the Devil
and sadly, before now, I thought he was right
I wanted any presence around, Good or Bad
to make me feel wanted, and not so sad
So I made a deal with him and sold my soul
He was never so happy and I was never so "Whole".
Until one night I had an Epiphany
and finally figured out what he had done to me.
He lied to me, and He used me, and it was only now...
they always haunt me
they remind me of what I once did
and how I am no longer me.
I am the darkness
one of the shadows of the night
