POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
All Alone
Just call me a Withering Blunder
Skewed, to say the least
Entirely, Utterly Wrong, in a few words
And Alone in one
Why must trust be so hard to come by
So elusive, errant
I've no one left to hold me together
I fall apart
I haven't simply sputtered to the ground,
Nor have I tripped
I have been smashed to the center of it all
With the force of a thousand suns
Skewed, to say the least
Entirely, Utterly Wrong, in a few words
And Alone in one
Why must trust be so hard to come by
So elusive, errant
I've no one left to hold me together
I fall apart
I haven't simply sputtered to the ground,
Nor have I tripped
I have been smashed to the center of it all
With the force of a thousand suns

Why am I even here
I just want to be first
Only
Singly
Lonely
Different
But I am only ever second
Third fourth or fifth in line
Boring and unoriginal
Just another hole waiting for you to fill
Just another tree waiting to be ripped down
Torn from my roots
Just another patch of earth serving it’s purpose
Walk upon me and feel how flat and lifeless
Just ordinary
Invisible to most and black and grey
Pointlessly I survive
Day after day I just survive
I have no drive
Because I’m only alive
Boring and dead inside
Only
Singly
Lonely
Different
But I am only ever second
Third fourth or fifth in line
Boring and unoriginal
Just another hole waiting for you to fill
Just another tree waiting to be ripped down
Torn from my roots
Just another patch of earth serving it’s purpose
Walk upon me and feel how flat and lifeless
Just ordinary
Invisible to most and black and grey
Pointlessly I survive
Day after day I just survive
I have no drive
Because I’m only alive
Boring and dead inside

No hope of coming down
Lost in this haze
Just waiting for your wake
Waiting for the storm to subside
So I can be of service
To you and you alone
All of your dreams
The fantasies alike
Anything you'd like
I'm here for you
And I want that branded into your soul
I am here for you
Whatever you'd like
Deep hard forced dry
Soft, love, down, high
I'm yours to keep
And yours to own
Anything you want
Just throw me a bone
Just give me some blow
I'm here for you to hurt
I'm here for you...
No hope of coming down
Lost in this haze
Just waiting for your wake
Waiting for the storm to subside
So I can be of service
To you and you alone
All of your dreams
The fantasies alike
Anything you'd like
I'm here for you
And I want that branded into your soul
I am here for you
Whatever you'd like
Deep hard forced dry
Soft, love, down, high
I'm yours to keep
And yours to own
Anything you want
Just throw me a bone
Just give me some blow
I'm here for you to hurt
I'm here for you...

You're right here by my side
Not touching, no
And not actually there
But I feel you
And I don't like what I feel
You're a shell of what I love
Barely a whisper of the ferocity I once felt
We were strong and resilient to anything
To everything
But miles and time
So as I lie beside you
Weeping in silence
Your warm body is only inches away
I'm fearful to reach out to only get slapped away
The current was too strong and washed it all away
And no matter how fast I swim and paddle and heave and ho
The white wall crashes...

Dew
I hate being alone
All the thoughts flood by frontal lobes
The feelings I have been given
They all come into view
It's just you
You ruined me and you played me
You kissed me and made me whole
Then you struck me down into your own personal hell
You made me crave hate and pain
I love the deep cuts I provide myself
The deep wells of disgust for my own life
The thoughts were beaten into my skull
That I am no good
Just trash to be disposed of
I hate being alone
I hate being alive
You killed me best
And maybe that's why I'm...

Too Late For Sorry
I've spent my days
I've spent my nights
And all I have to show are these scars and imperfections
Time wasted is life lost
And love tasted is heartache bought
Words can only show so much
Actions will only hurt to the touch
Your fingers snarred and twisted in my veins
Oh I'm begging this pain to go away
Longing and searching and finding no relief
Maybe I really am a soul unsaved
A waste of space
No place for me here, so goodbye
My dear
Save your sorry's for my casket
I've spent my nights
And all I have to show are these scars and imperfections
Time wasted is life lost
And love tasted is heartache bought
Words can only show so much
Actions will only hurt to the touch
Your fingers snarred and twisted in my veins
Oh I'm begging this pain to go away
Longing and searching and finding no relief
Maybe I really am a soul unsaved
A waste of space
No place for me here, so goodbye
My dear
Save your sorry's for my casket

Tomorrow And Yesterday
I used to hold my head so low
Down under the dirt and buried deep
Conscious of the stares and the discussions of my being
Knowing what you are and not knowing the meaning
I was beaten and torn and dissected like flies
My wings were ripped off and I was banished to a hole
My time to shine was the time I fell
Too weak to give up and too strong to stop the fight
But now I hold my head up high
I have a team on my side fighting for my life
I have so much life
Everything to lose and carefree
My wings have come back and it is all because of my love...

Choke On It
Just like the sky is only blue if you have sight
Death is only an ending if was ever there to start
I'm making my way towards your body
Finding holes between the carcasses to plant my feet
I'm feeling my way towards you in the blackest of black nights
I see you, dead ahead
Inching closer but never close enough
I try and I try
I fucking try
To reach you but you sink away and I run
I run for miles as fast as these hopeless legs take me
I fly with my wings spread out wide
Oh but I, as hard as I try, I am dead inside
Just like you, just like the...

One In The Same
I sit here wishing of a better life
Without the strife
You lay here dreaming and complaining
That I'm failing you
But we are one and I am trying so
We are the same and you are full of hate and desire
Just one more
Drink
Toke
Fuck
Cut
Alone and bitter
We are like a flame to the dead
But now, if only we could see
We could perch ourselves up high
And realize what we are meant for
You are so full of self loathing and pity for yourself
I am so full of regret and hatred towards you
I fucking hate you
And you just dream,...

What I feel isn't healing
I can't seem to get rid of this feeling
I know I'm different
Damn it, I know
But you are the same
And it is such a shame about the way our minds work
Will I be just another one
Just another cigarette to throw out your window
Just another morning bladder of piss to get rid of
Will I be her?
Will you forget our love just like you did hers?
See, I know
I know about the way our minds work
For I have been on this path way beyond my years
My soul has been destined for tragedy
I know the familiar ache all too well...

So Let It Be Said That I'm Deceased
One day I'll be a sight to see
But until then
I'm just another fucking disease
You terrify me
I am utterly lost in you
Our love is a labyrinth with only one good way out
There's so many exits
So many edges just waiting to be fallen from
I want you to dispose of me
Rid yourself of me before I grow like mold to your soul
Let me go so you can be free
Just tell me know if it can never be
Should I even be waiting, begging for a resolution?
Would you even be willing to spare me?
To scare me away is to bring me deeper into this...
