POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Feed My Dog
A slice of my wrist and all the pain goes away.
The sadness...the madness...the plain bullshit of it all.
The loneliness of never having anyone to share my day.
Just a slit of my wrist can begin my downfall.
Like, who would actually care if I went and did it.
Those bastards weren't around before I start this act.
And I doubt they will be around after my skin has been split.
I'm not saying there aren't things that could be worth staying for.
But, I feel like this life is as good as it's going to get.

A Scream Echoes...
A scream echoes through the halls.
With the sound of nails screeching across the walls.
A shadowy figure then appeared that is quite very tall.
It came to take my life and that is all.
It's presence surrounds me with fear and loathe,
As it reaches into me and my heart begins to slow...
...down to one knee I drop and clench my chest.
With a feeling this will be the last place I rest.
I begin realize the scream through the halls was actually me.
And the screeching across the walls was me dropping to that knee....

As She Lay
As she lay in bed, skies ablaze,
She turns her head and smile, and laugh the cutest laugh.
With her heart filled with love and eyes full of hope.
She lay in bed and smile with skies ablaze.

Yes! I'm Ok
Hiding behind a smile,
Concealing the pain buried deep in his chest.
Playing the fool, not wanting reveal the stress or the mess, that his life is.
Hiding in plain sight with joyful eyes,
That say "Hey, I'm ok!" and confidence that reads " everything is fine."
All the while wondering, how did it end up this way.
Hiding behind words filled with thrill,
Telling people who care, that things are great and couldn't be better for you.
Never telling how things are actually a disaster and getting hard to go through.

Angel
She soars down from the heavens with grace and touches me.
Covered in white and bathed in light, I wonder why is it me she came to see.
Her hand placed upon my cheek was as warm as the sun.
She then whispered in my ear, "Your new life has just begun."
She spreads her wings and lifts me up twenty feet and as I looked down I see my body laying in a creek.
I ask her, " what had happened to me?"

The Sorrowful Beauty
She sits in her corner with tears running down her face.
Looking back at the past with so much hate.
She turns to a bottle for comfort, which is her first mistake.
She is beautiful on the out and has a smile that makes everyones day.
But she is crying on the inside,
Not thinking a change in her life could be her only way.
She wears her emotions, like a magician with tricks up his sleeve.
But hides her pain with strength, feeling it might make her look weak.
Yes, she can be complicated, just like me or you,
And may...

Social Misery
What is it that you want to see?
Me bleeding from cheek to cheek.
Or me slicing my neck,
Because I considered myself too weak.
What is it that you want to see?
A kid looking over a ledge,
Staring at death.
Traumatized from so much regret,
That he does a swan dive right over the edge.
Is that what you really want to see?
Because the world can be cruel sometimes,
And find joy in someone's pain and misery.
Me bleeding from cheek to cheek.
Or me slicing my neck,
Because I considered myself too weak.
What is it that you want to see?
A kid looking over a ledge,
Staring at death.
Traumatized from so much regret,
That he does a swan dive right over the edge.
Is that what you really want to see?
Because the world can be cruel sometimes,
And find joy in someone's pain and misery.

Look Me In My Eyes
Why doesn't she look me in my eyes anymore when we make love?
We use to stare deeply into each other souls that way
But lately all she does is turn and look away
Placing her neck in that pose like she really wanted me to kiss her there.
Why doesn't she look me in the eyes anymore?
She still claws at my back and screams out my name,
Like she is getting attacked.
But when i'm make love with her from behind
Then flip her around and place her on her back
She closes her eyes, as if it was all just one big act.
Please tell me...

no clue for title
time time and time again..
the days goes by and faces turn to frowns
the joy of the light slowly fades
and darkness envelops the mind
fear and loathesome send through the body
and seeps in the cracks of your soul
but don't let it take control
raise up and fight for what you desire
and being the joy of the light back
and turn those frowns around
for you are not weak and not afraid
to stand up and take action
the days goes by and faces turn to frowns

and darkness envelops the mind

and being the joy of the light back
and turn those frowns around
for you are not weak and not afraid

Patiently Waiting
My heart does not beat
My lungs do not breathe
My mouth does not speak
MY eyes do not peek
As i wait patiently on your return
My days slowly turn
Not wanting to concede
To the pain of the time that proceeds
I miss you dearly with all my heart
These days without you is tearing me apart
But i hope for you the best
And for your family the rest
Because when these days come to an end
That is when my life begins again
My heart starts to beat
My lungs starts...
My lungs do not breathe
My mouth does not speak
MY eyes do not peek
As i wait patiently on your return
My days slowly turn
Not wanting to concede
To the pain of the time that proceeds
I miss you dearly with all my heart
These days without you is tearing me apart
But i hope for you the best
And for your family the rest
Because when these days come to an end
That is when my life begins again
My heart starts to beat
My lungs starts...

summer rain
A summer rain pours down to wash away a sorrowful sound
From you not being around to console and hold
