POEMS AND SHORT STORIES

Broken again...
How many times until the shattered pieces drift off with the wind?
Barely keeping it together but I'll force this smile until the very end.
I may not be able to quit you but I refuse to let you win.
These tears will surely fall before you...the collapse of my soul, however, I will not surrend.

Hell
Everyones eyes watching me
Judging me
All you people do is critisize
Say you're sick of the lies
Well then realize
I'm through being scrutinized
Trying to decide
If I should cut these ties
Before I'm forced to watch another piece of me die
On my knees looking up to this empty sky
With tears in my eyes
Begging please Lord just end this life
It's all a lie
I deserve to cry, deserve to die
Doesn't really matter how hard I tried
Or the reasons why
Fact still remains when I close my eyes
It's no surprise
Everyday waking up to...

I don't know what to do.
Every turn adds more distance...only your silhouette is left in view.
I'm fighting baby...I keep trying but lately...it seems like I'll never catch up to you.
Searching for that figure...the only piece of you I had left...my picture perfect silhouette.
I'm sorry I wasn't stronger for you...so many things that I regret.
I know I don't pray but please God, just one more chance...I'm not ready to say this goodbye yet.
I'll do anything, I swear, just don't take me away from my picture perfect silhouette.

Walk easy for she is broken.
Seems like every painful scar was another winning token.
Trust..happiness..love.. these words are so foreign.
Why even try when the endding is always the same.
Might as well give up love you were destined to feel pain.
Learn to choose your battles some things you just can't change.
Bitching about "it's hard".."it's not fair".."all I want is for someone to care".
Your empty cries come out softer than air.
Baby girl open your eyes..true love was never there.

I Need You
Time is escaping me.
The drugs have forsaken me.
Long lost is my grasp unto reality.
Trying to run but it's like I'm surrounded.
Even those who own my heart can't keep me grounded.
This isn't who I am please understand my judgement is clouded.
I beg you not to turn away.
I am a weak individual who has allowed herself to stray.
I know it seems hopeless but I'm asking you to stay.
Don't give up on me just yet.
Your endeavors have finally made me break a sweat.
I don't want to go back not after having made it here with you beside...

Laying here alone... My thought begin to wander...
The story before me
So cold, so lonely
These emotions I'm no longer controlling
Life is better but also worse
Like a good song that's missing a verse
Missing things like your warm embrace
But then at times the look on your face
I question was it really fate
Or just two lost kids that met one day
How can something so wonderful, so great
Be perceived as crumbling...wrong...fake
What was given is priceless, there is too much at stake
Four blue eyes look to us and wait
Patiently...

Girl Made of Glass
She's so shiny and new
So appealing to you
A beautiful wonder
That glints in the light
Something to behold
With appraising sight
A gentle figure
Smooth to the touch
But this girl
She doesn't talk much
For she is made of glass
Though thick is the glass she wears
As everyone comes to point and stare
You can't see through
To the words unspoken
Her marks are glued so perfect
You'd never guess that she was broken
Soon the shine
Faded away
She woke up empty
Out of words to say
...

I just don't know anymore
Lay me down...make me believe tonight. Tell me that what we have is worth the fight. Cuz baby to be honest the end is in dead sight. I don't want to do this without you, when you're gone it's like I see no light. Things have to change I won't keep living with lies. I'm tired of falling asleep to the sound of my muffled cries. Tired of living in doubt questioning if you really care about our life. It used to be "we" now all I hear is "you and I". It isn't right. It isn't fair. We should never wonder if the other cares. Turning small paper cuts into detrimental tears. Both keeping wondering...

Feeling the weight of these poor decisions.
Can't breathe the air is filled with so much tension.
Sadly this is not the life I had envisioned.
Tried to escape it but even my mind is like a prison.
Every turn ends the same, always a head on collision.
At least you could act human while making your incisions.
Yet again I'm left dying as you strike with such precision.
I should have looked to my heart but it was you to whom I devoted all of my attention.

Do not deny me.
Awakening the primal beast that's inside me.
A manifesting disease slowly winding...combining.
Taking control, Barbie's thoughts no longer binding.
Go ahead and run, you can not hide from me.
Hunting my prey sounds so enticing.
Watching you try to escape this monster that to you is utterly frightening.
Black as night crouched with my kill in dead sight.
No thinking just pure instinct, a true killer beautifully designed.
A predator perfectly intuned with ones mind.
I warned you I cannot...

Suicide
Welcome friend its been a while since I have seen your face. Your return is oddly calming, somehow I find myself enjoying your sweet embrace. I had forgotten the peace that consumes me when I accept this fate. Dancing on the edge of suicide can really shine some light...things you once thought, feelings you once felt all come rushing back leaving tear soaked memories in their wake. I really want to end it, things would be better for everyone, I can't bring myself to do it...why can I never make this jump. Once again I turn away, streaks of makeup running down my face...time to be the coward...
