POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Cold as Ice
It wasnt the words you spoke
it was the silence that killed
it wasnt you turning your back
ist the emptiness that needs to be filled.
You left a man broken
lying on the streets in pain
with no where to go
people forgetting his name
feeling so worthless
people throwing pennies at his feet
feeling ashamed
hands too dirty to greet
Miss, you be shining
you've already been told
telling people what to do
as if nothing was gold

Emergency room
Today i witnessed the most self sacraficing, giving, loving, quintessential human act possible. For those who dont know my grandma and grandpa, they are probably the sweetest two people you will ever meet. You could meet them on the first day and they would love you like their own child. I dont think they have a bad bone in there body. You could sit with them for hours and hours and you would have a milllion memories in one day that you could share for your lifetime. Dont even mention the perfectly tasting cookies, muffins, juice, toast, crackers, cheese, pickles, peanut butter, the list...

summer love.
Anyone interest is more then welcome to make a beat for this. I cant play an intrument so it wont work for me. You can make a youtube video if you sing and play it or just sing it i would love to hear how it sounds. Just ask me in advance if you want to do either of the two. if you do send me a completed link, otherwise enjoy just the words as it is.
verse
I look up and our eyes meet
waves crashing, sand at your feet
you know it was love at first sight
girl you make me feel so right
summer dress, girl your looking fine
all i want is for you to be mine

words were lost, but silence found them
to her "the connection was instant" meant "lets be friends"
"its more then lust" meant "im insane"
hugs and kisses meant im a virgin
and words were lost
"we can do this" meant " lets not try"
"it will be worth it" meant "to much work"
begging on my knees meant "what a loser"
and words were lost
"i love you" meant "to much pain"
"i need you" meant "clincy as hell"
crying on the phone meant emotionally weak...

Ill love you forever
The worst thing in life is watching someone you love, love someone else. It's hard to bare and even harder to be apart of. When your best friend is only that, a best friend.
I lay my head down about to sleep
i check your status and i begin to weep
my phone vibrates and i see your text
i relive a million times what happens next
you said to me we need to talk
you said this might come as a shock
i burried my head awaiting the pain
my tears falling down like rain
what came next tore out my heart
you threw it on the ground and ripped it apart...

Didnt have to end this way
I lost it all, but iv given all i can
like the last wave crashing against the sand
like the wind breathing its last breath
like the sun setting on her chest.
I wait in horror as darkness unfolds
as im left with nothing to hold
like iv lost a grip on life
im fighting for every step
its to much to go on
to much to wait for dawn
to much to live in fear
so i shed a tear
I may have made a mistake
iv lost a perfect friend
but iv lost more then that
iv lost a perfect love.
On i go as the days do too
i continue to...

undescribable
It is something i can explain
something to much for words
something that causes to much pain
just let my tears fall like rain
It is something thats way to much
something i can not bare
nothing as cold as your touch
your love is my only crutch
Only you can cure me
But you just arnt here
I only wish you could see
What i want you and me to be
Undescribable are the emotions i feel
nothing i can sing to you
all i know is this feeling is real
my hearts broken and you have the power to heal
something to much for words
something that causes to much pain
just let my tears fall like rain
It is something thats way to much
something i can not bare
nothing as cold as your touch
your love is my only crutch
Only you can cure me
But you just arnt here
I only wish you could see
What i want you and me to be
Undescribable are the emotions i feel
nothing i can sing to you
all i know is this feeling is real
my hearts broken and you have the power to heal

The light of my life.
Day or night its all the same
your smile so bright, spotlight, fame.
Your loving warmth puts a fire in my heart
I know we willnever grow apart
You lead me through my troubled ways
youcomfort me through my painful days
you protect me from all my strife
you are the light of my life.
You areall i have and all i need
a rose in my life that began with a seed
you have flourished into my only love
and i thank the heavens above.

Is it worth it
My love has no boundaries,
it travels as it may.
Mylove has no end,
it shines every day.
Your love i never see,
it can never be found.
I can never feel its warmth,
in love im never bound.
I hug you tight,
i turn to kiss,
you turn away,
your love i miss.
For all this unjust pain
does anything seem to fit.
for all you have done i ask,
Is it really worth it?
it travels as it may.

footprint on time.
I leave my mark on broken time
lost in the past of endless pain
i was stolen in a thoughtless crime
my footprint washed from the sand.
I leave my mark on a heart so cold
lost in the forest of love
my burdens to many to hold
my footprint washed from the snow
I leave my mark on the petal of grace
found in a garden of flowers
mymemory is placed on the human race
my footprint cemented in time
i leave my mark on the changing leaves
found in the soul of many
i feel no need to grieve
for my footprint remains mine.

The road i travel
The road i travel is not always straight
it has or blocks that make you wait.
The road i travel has no lines
full of glass but that’s just fine.
It may seem tough or not worth the while
it may stretch for many miles.
It has tones of scenery, i make a mental note
in the winter its chilly but i have no coat.
I gave it to my companion who walks with me
her smile is really something to see.
I love her but she does not know this
but together we walk in bliss.
I don’t know where im headed or if it will end
All that matters is that im travelling...

Show me.
There is no words to describe the pain
there is nothing to describe how i feel
i just want to kiss you in the rain
but i know that cant be real.
I just want to sing you to sleep
i just want to kiss you awake
but every night i just weep
because my heart is what you take.
Your beauty is like the sun
as it makes its way down
your head games are no fun
i feel like im about to drown.
My personality you can't see
my love you do not know
if you wanted to be with me
you should have let it show.
