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.
Jaded
I'm beginning to believe I get worse with age
As anger and bitterness bubble up inside me
Spilling to those around me
Without a thought.
Terrible things fly out my mouth
And seep into my heart
Settling there to rot.
If you love me now
You are strong indeed.
As anger and bitterness bubble up inside me
Spilling to those around me
Without a thought.
Terrible things fly out my mouth
And seep into my heart
Settling there to rot.
If you love me now
You are strong indeed.

Fear of the Future
Terror wraps itself around me
In the darkness of my room,
Where I snuggle myself in blankets
And try to hide from the world.
Depression snuggles up beside me
With a low purr as it nuzzles my cheek.
The confident young woman checks out,
And in her place is a scared little girl.
In the darkness of my room,
Where I snuggle myself in blankets
And try to hide from the world.
Depression snuggles up beside me
With a low purr as it nuzzles my cheek.
The confident young woman checks out,
And in her place is a scared little girl.

Let Love Wrap You Up
There's something to be said about the oldest sibling.
I see the sadness behind those dilated eyes,
And words left unspoken in those contorted lips.
There's a soul on fire in those empty eyed mugshots
And the gossiping whispers that follow you.
You're the scapegoat of the family;
Even your baby brother blames you for his troubles.
Little does he know you took that darkness and ate it,
Just so he could be the child you never got to be.
Your baby sister has grown to be so confident,
With her college degree and her...
I see the sadness behind those dilated eyes,
And words left unspoken in those contorted lips.
There's a soul on fire in those empty eyed mugshots
And the gossiping whispers that follow you.
You're the scapegoat of the family;
Even your baby brother blames you for his troubles.
Little does he know you took that darkness and ate it,
Just so he could be the child you never got to be.
Your baby sister has grown to be so confident,
With her college degree and her...

Blurred Lines
I'd say I'm sorry I never gave you my best,
But I was still a child when I was put to the test.
Those storms came and I folded while we both screamed
Unable to hear each other as the nightmare took over our dream.
I look back now on the things I said and did.
I hardly recognize that girl you were with.
How did she get there and how did I get here?
I can't make the connection, can't see through my fears.
The past haunts me even on my brightest days
Those storm clouds in your eyes have me permanently dazed.
Though I look...

Crazy
Yesterday,
I felt empty,
Like an ever widening chasm
That will never be filled.
Today,
My heart is full to the brim
Though shattered.
I feel as if I may burst
Into a thousand pieces
And be scattered in the wind.
I felt empty,
Like an ever widening chasm
That will never be filled.
Today,
My heart is full to the brim
Though shattered.
I feel as if I may burst
Into a thousand pieces
And be scattered in the wind.

Monotony
This little town closes in
Like a cage door shut behind me.
Like a cage door shut behind me.

Haunting
The silence comes to taunt me
Like clockwork at the end of the day.
I've been talking to God more,
But lately I don't know what to say.
I've slipped into a strange comfort,
A serenity deep in my bones,
But these thoughts still whirl around
To torment me when I'm alone.
I've come so far, but lack so much,
I still feel like it's not enough.
Karma lies in wait for me and she whispers
"If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough."
Like clockwork at the end of the day.

Yearning
Sunshine on my face,
Dying coals in my heart.
I have found myself longing
In a way I have never felt.
Dying coals in my heart.
I have found myself longing
In a way I have never felt.

I Miss Us
I let you salivate over my innocence
As you kissed my wounds
Just to cut me open again.
My body arced and sparked
When you traced your dirty fingers
Around the holes in my aching heart.
You exposed the softest parts of me
As I fell deep into your darkness
Eyes closed, the wind on my face was ecstasy.
Oh, to be young and dumb once more!
The woman I am cannot fathom
The love you aroused in the girl I was.
I still think of those icy blue eyes,
And that velvet voice purring to me
That first...
As you kissed my wounds
Just to cut me open again.
My body arced and sparked
When you traced your dirty fingers
Around the holes in my aching heart.
You exposed the softest parts of me
As I fell deep into your darkness
Eyes closed, the wind on my face was ecstasy.
Oh, to be young and dumb once more!
The woman I am cannot fathom
The love you aroused in the girl I was.
I still think of those icy blue eyes,
And that velvet voice purring to me
That first...

Relapse On My Mind
I want to crush you under the weight of my sins,
Chopped into perfect little lines on a broken mirror.
I want to snort you in rolled up dollar bills
Eyes watering as my veins rush with a fervor.
I want to lick you from the dope baggy
To taste you on my tongue as I take you in.
Guttural moans rising all night long
Tendrils wrapping 'round me as I let my demons win.
Fuck me till we see the sun peeping in
I promise I won't tell a soul.
I am sunshine and smiles on the outside,
But you know inside me its...
Chopped into perfect little lines on a broken mirror.
I want to snort you in rolled up dollar bills
Eyes watering as my veins rush with a fervor.
I want to lick you from the dope baggy
To taste you on my tongue as I take you in.
Guttural moans rising all night long
Tendrils wrapping 'round me as I let my demons win.
Fuck me till we see the sun peeping in
I promise I won't tell a soul.
I am sunshine and smiles on the outside,
But you know inside me its...

Fire
The memory of you
Is like poking at fire with a stick.
The warmth seeps through me
Like whiskey humming through my soul.
The embers dance in my eyes
Like the spark you left behind,
But it's dying.
I remember when I said
I'd walk through hell
Just to hold your hand,
But now this heart of mine
Flickers like a lonely coal
At the bottom of the pile
Growing cold.
Is like poking at fire with a stick.
The warmth seeps through me
Like whiskey humming through my soul.
The embers dance in my eyes
Like the spark you left behind,
But it's dying.
I remember when I said
I'd walk through hell
Just to hold your hand,
But now this heart of mine
Flickers like a lonely coal
At the bottom of the pile
Growing cold.

As the smoke cleared from the rubble
Of what was you and I,
I saw the remains of a dead end love
Two broken hearts reduced to ash.
I rose from the soot
And carried on,
Plagued by contradictions, dreams,
And melancholy what-ifs.
I clung to bits and pieces of you
In knick knacks, pictures, and clothes,
So long standing that they'd blended in—
Just part of the landscape of my life.
I had become a shell of myself:
A memory hoarder. A love scavenger.
An addict picking crumbs of you
From the floor to...
Of what was you and I,
I saw the remains of a dead end love
Two broken hearts reduced to ash.
I rose from the soot
And carried on,
Plagued by contradictions, dreams,
And melancholy what-ifs.
I clung to bits and pieces of you
In knick knacks, pictures, and clothes,
So long standing that they'd blended in—
Just part of the landscape of my life.
I had become a shell of myself:
A memory hoarder. A love scavenger.
An addict picking crumbs of you
