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.
Unlocked
Memories tucked behind closed doors
Stay safely locked away beyond reach,
Until a tempest sweeps down these halls
Through shutters blown open from outside.
These feelings engulf me in a whirlwind,
And there is nowhere safe to hide.
Dust had begun to gather on the knobs,
And I'd all but forgotten what lay beyond.
I'd rearranged my shelves with knick knacks,
Placed contentedly behind my eyes.
Boxes on boxes of forgotten relics
Little by little, it all came back.
Stay safely locked away beyond reach,
Until a tempest sweeps down these halls
Through shutters blown open from outside.
These feelings engulf me in a whirlwind,
And there is nowhere safe to hide.
Dust had begun to gather on the knobs,
And I'd all but forgotten what lay beyond.
I'd rearranged my shelves with knick knacks,
Placed contentedly behind my eyes.
Boxes on boxes of forgotten relics
Little by little, it all came back.

Start Again
No more one foot out the door promises
To set the scene of a crime.
I'm choosing to chose the one
Who fought to be by my side.
The intensity fucking terrifies me
How quickly we pull each other close.
The intentions of forever frighten me,
But now I know I'm never letting go.
I'm taking this leap of faith now
With all my scars and fears in tow.
I tried to run to no avail,
But you feel right to my soul.
To set the scene of a crime.
I'm choosing to chose the one
Who fought to be by my side.
The intensity fucking terrifies me
How quickly we pull each other close.

But now I know I'm never letting go.

With all my scars and fears in tow.
I tried to run to no avail,
But you feel right to my soul.

miss u, love me
I suck at expressing myself,
And your directness shrivels me into a corner.
I bleed into these words to tell you things
Without ever opening my lips
To meet you face to face
Eye to eye
Like a grown woman.
Like a child,
I hide behind pretty poetry
and daydreams.
Your logic and calm
Infuriate me;
I'd rather live inside a rabbit hole,
A wonderland of walls
Built to keep you
And your lovesick insanity out.
I miss the music
And the stupid memes,
But to move forward
Without one foot...
And your directness shrivels me into a corner.
I bleed into these words to tell you things
Without ever opening my lips
To meet you face to face
Eye to eye
Like a grown woman.

Without one foot...

Call Me Baby One More Time
How do I tell you that I miss you
Or that I wonder what we could have been?
I can't even be sure if this feeling is real
Or if I'm just in love with daydreaming.
All I know is I'm lonely;
In the silence, I hear my thoughts screaming.
Your mood swings and mine combined
Make for a hell of a playground.
They all tell me that you were crazy bout me,
But some part of me refuses to believe it's true.
A man could try to spoil me,
And to reject it seems like the only thing to do.
I can't figure out which of us are to blame, ...
Or that I wonder what we could have been?
I can't even be sure if this feeling is real
Or if I'm just in love with daydreaming.
All I know is I'm lonely;
In the silence, I hear my thoughts screaming.
Your mood swings and mine combined

Devil in my Ear
I got a preacher's daughter gone wild
Type of rebellion in my bones.
These stubborn angels follow me
In cardinal wings; I'm never alone.
My shadows grow ever impatient
Waiting for me give up on nice boys
And their safe cookie cutter lives
That don't make much noise.
I'm eying the tattooed man
With a demon lurking in his eyes,
Though prematurely I know
He will be my demise.
My ex best friend and my baby daddy
Think it's funny to fuck my friends;
Forgetting who I used to be.
Baby, let the...

Only for you Daddy
You feed my demons,
And that's why I crave you.
Pussy gripping on you tight
And you know what to do.
Every inch is electric
Pulsing through my skin
Heightening every touch
As I take you in.
Your words are mean
Like calloused hands on my neck
Tears of joy cumming on
While I gasp for breath.
You're the air I need,
That toxic push and shove.
I want that battle of wills
Eyes locked on mine type of love.
And that's why I crave you.
Pussy gripping on you tight
And you know what to do.
Every inch is electric
Pulsing through my skin
Heightening every touch
As I take you in.
Your words are mean
Like calloused hands on my neck
Tears of joy cumming on
While I gasp for breath.
You're the air I need,
That toxic push and shove.
I want that battle of wills
Eyes locked on mine type of love.

abuse me
Its gas pedal to the floor
When you drive me crazy.
My heart skips a beat
The way you treat me,
And it makes me crave you
Even more.
Words that cut my heart
Open, tender and sore,
As if I were nothing
But a pretty little whore.
Still, I think maybe
It's love.

Inner Struggles
She said "I love you"
Several times at random today.
I know she knows
I need to know,
But even that reassurance
Feels like a mockery
To the parts of me
That question everything good
In my life.
Today,
The whole world feels like my enemy,
And my pathetic emotional flails
Seem useless against
The weight of it all.
Humming "shelter me, Lord,
Underneath your wing",
I strap up for battle once more.

Blame it on the Full Moon
Fuck it, I blame the full moon.
Old feelings bubble up like heartburn
Leaving a sour taste in my mouth
Mixed with stale ashtray butts
And redbull.
I sit on my bed half dressed
Unable to make sense of myself
With a dress and heels laid out
That feel like a bandaid
To a limb blown off my body.
The cloud of smoke
Curls around me like cheap perfume,
Leaving me lightheaded
And discombobulated,
Still aching for one hit of something
I know will ruin me.
Cardinals have been dancing about, ...

Midnight Mood Swings
Nevermind, I'm fine.
Pay the waterworks no mind.
When the sun rises,
So will I,
Tears dried and my heart full.

Rebound
The last time your heart was broken,
You called me with your voice full of anguish.
Choking on tears, you sought me out to console you.
I showed up outside your job,
Waiting for closing time,
A bottle of shitty alcohol in hand.
We sat outside and talked for hours,
The first intimate moment shared
In years.
I drove away smiling,
Hopeful for the following year of healing
For us both.
I wasn't ready.
Too soon, you want to give her your last name,
And its my heart that now screams in pain.

Under my Roof
One day,
My home will be one full of love and laughter.
One day,
My daughter's cup will run over with her happily ever after.
One day,
I can say I did what my parents could not.
One day,
I will know the joy that simply cannot be bought.
One day,
I'll be a happy old woman in a wooded home.
One day,
Escaping myself will not drive me to aimlessly roam.
One day,
