POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I write mostly about my day to day emotions, experiences, and thoughts. Every fucked up thought I have usually ends up here.
Stuck
There's only an echo.
As it ripples through
A shell of me.
Everyday I think of suicide.
I tell them,
But they're no longer listening.
I miss me,
And I wonder if
She will ever come back.
As it ripples through
A shell of me.
Everyday I think of suicide.
I tell them,
But they're no longer listening.
I miss me,
And I wonder if
She will ever come back.

Slave of the Heart
Velvet smooth promises
Slip from your tongue,
Things that would cause
My aching heart
To tear itself from my chest
Just to rest
In the curve of your lips.
Slip from your tongue,
Things that would cause
My aching heart
To tear itself from my chest
Just to rest
In the curve of your lips.

What Do I Do Now?
There are a thousand things I wish to unsee
And a thousand more thoughts run amuck—
Like a stampede of tiny feet that I wish would be still.
The days I am caught in awe and wonder have grown scattered,
Dispersed frantically to their places,
Like beacons of hope that mock me.
Dreams of the future have turned into debts and addictions,
And the walls I build to keep me safe
Seem to grow ominously bigger.
The tops loom above me in the clouds,
While the bricks themselves
Wrap me in an abrasive embrace.
I stand blind and...

Wrap me in an abrasive embrace.

Let's Destroy Each Other
You tell me you love me
While you drag me into a death roll.
It's a vicious tumble into the depths
That I do not want to take.
The spinning has left me dizzy,
Headed for a blackout
Where my demons await
With eager jaws.
Already I feel you
Stripping the meat from my bones.
I tell you I love you
With your heart clenched in my teeth
Like a wild eyed animal
Too consumed by hunger
To mind the blood.
Though you scream in agony,
You follow after me.
Tears fall freely,
Heart aches for both of...

Narcissistic Woman
The dust finally clears
Behind all my grand escapes,
And I can see clearly
The look of defeat on these faces.
I've been a slave all along,
Trapped in a world of delusions.
The tortured romantic with a lost soul
Is just a girl that can't face her own reflection.
Disconnected from myself,
I drifted until my heart turned black.
Karma's been serving her daily specials;
Now I feel your pain in the flashback.
Love was a game in my mind :
Just a high I chased like a junkie.
Plans for the future are like...

I Don't Belong Anywhere
My thoughts echo off these walls,
And the air grows heavy.
I need a prayer to lift my soul.
The emptiness in this place
Seems to hold me hostage
With no further counsel
To nourish my soul.
There's nothing to think about
Except thoughts.
A suffocating silence squeezes me tight
Hell bent on crushing the breath
Right out of my lungs.
Whats that? You thought
someone could hear you?
Screams and cries lie captive
Behind lips and eyes
That cannot bring themselves to speak.

They Said Sobriety Would Fix Me
My shallow vanity has collapsed
Under the weight of all I've done.
I lie awake at night still
Reminiscing until the rising sun.
I wish to revisit my innocence
Just feel some things twice,
But the hole in my heart reminds me
With a tone cold as ice.
My body aches with longing,
And his scent no longer lingers.
I'm floating in a dissociative state
Making shadows with my fingers.
I feel blank and empty
So alone when I clock out for the day.
A work week full of grab and go smiles
Before I go my...

Sleepless
There's tightness in my head
And tension in my brow.
Late night insomnia plagues me
In the wake of panic
As I begin to doze,
And nightmares polka dot
My otherwise fade into nothingness.
Like a rebooting computer,
I feel as if nothing makes sense
When I wake.
My head is filled with endless images
Of flashbacks, nightmares,
Hopes, dreams, and doubts..
The corners of my room
Seem to smile at me
With faceless expressions
As if these walls know
A thing or two that I don't.

Toxic little lies
Toxic little lies wove a pretty disguise
Unraveling threads may be my demise.
Naked I may stand and foolish I may be,
Your words no longer hurt me.
Toxic little lies hid behind my eyes
Buried for so long and now they rise.
Unwrapped secrets that I never knew
Go deeper than any narrations from you.
Toxic little games played in the shadows
Demon tag led my heart straight to the gallows.
My head lives heartless and stays in hell
If I was ever your angel, I inevitably fell.
Toxic little promises that I always...

Just admit you fucking hate me.

High There
What if my life could be lived with the absence of chasing highs?
If the stars twinkles and michevous winks could be romantic enough
To woo my gaze from this growing hole in the ground?
What if my love had more depth than fleeting storybook moments
Stolen just to piece together the most beautifully tragic, heart filling masterpiece?
If perhaps the perhaps of forever called louder than nails in your heart
To a cross on the wall to be the intrigue and horror of whoever may gaze?
What if I were more than just a lost girl who fell behind in the...

Unsure
I'm not sure if these tears are for you
Or the ghosts of what could have been
That haunt me in yellowing love notes,
Book pressed baby's breath,
And the sparkling eyes of this beautiful mess we made.
I'm not sure if this ache in my chest is real
Or if it's just one too many cigarettes
Chain-smoked in the dry air of this trailer
Trying to fill the empty space
Of a quiet house, void of all our naive promises.
I'm not sure if that look in your eyes hides the same pain
Or if you see only a shell of the girl you loved ...
