POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Hello, I am Miss Morbid. For the most part I consider my poetry to be disturbing. I tend to write about actual events that have happened or are happening. I am 28 but I feel like I write from a teenagers point of view.
Bleach
When we were within reach
All surroundings seemed to be bleached
Everything was white and sterile
You were the only color I could see
In a room cramped with people
It felt like it was just you and me
Your touch was so soothing
It was like something inside blooming
Like I could feel your heartbeat
Beating inside my own chest cavity
Your brown eyes burned so vividly
Smoldering like damp bark on a fire
Smoking out all my insecurities
Convinced me the others were liars
You wanted me to see all this beauty
Beauty you...

Dirty Seeds
Let it come
He sure did
Imagines of pleasure for him
All I got was emotional rot
He left more in me than just his seed
Filthy memories
Haunt my everything
Threatening to disease all my future deeds
I can't love anybody
His shadow always lurking
In order to feel relief
I have to relive this
Gotta let it bleed
Feel the pain
Act like it is happening again
This time it is just pretend
No reason to try to defend
Still feeling like I am forsaken
Struggling to shake it.

Burning the bridge to the past
In a blaze
I watched it go up
Blooming into a cloud of ash
Filling the skies
Pregnant with old desires
The fire burned with purpose
Ignited were all my old ties
I finally pulled the plug
Taking control of my life
Smoking out my lies
Drenching that bridge with gas
No longer can I lean on the crutch of my favorite drug
Searing closed the road to the past
Totally devastated
Like my life, the bridge burned fast
With a crunch, warm coals grumbled under toe
I found a new direction
My back was warm...

Anger turned into sorrow
Venom envelopes your words
It's all my fault, I'm the one that is broken
I have done so many things
I can't believe you have so much power
Holding back from just murdering me
Letting me be consumed by the earth
Covering me in a blanket I deserve, one of suffering
I was just looking at old pictures
At least we once appeared happy
These pictures are now scattered
Proof of a bond gone askew
Pictures become fuzzy memories, I collect them in the abyss inside of me
Out of focus, our old relationship
The love...

Breaking From Cancer
She spoke
Out of her mouth, the words did flow
So hallow
Her voice could not betray
All I heard was decay
In here eyes, tears started to rise
They perched at her lashes
On the brink
Threatening to take the leap
To cascade down her cheeks
Leaving behind watery streaks of disbelief
She was breathing
Her body warm, circulating blood normally
Her hands were trembling
I cupped my own hands around hers, trying to be strong
I held them tight, warding off my own thoughts
She was here, right beside me
She was only here...

Same old story
Sitting here
Wondering why my heart is
Still anchored to last year
Yeah, he hurt me
Stole my heart
Left my chest cavity empty
Refused to trade me his
End the it's really my fault
I knew his kind from the start
Same old story
Girls meets boy
Blah blah blah
She is left feeling tore apart
Inside my head
It won't stop storming
Clouds of happy memories
Have grown dark and murky
Shaded by regret
I keep trying
To collect my pieces
Throw some duct tape
On the ones...

Wish
Wish I was dead
So I would not cry
Would not have to reflect
On what has become my life
God's little project
His plans seem to have gone awry
If I had a place to hide
I would lock out all my truths
The ones I pretend are lies
Sometimes I close my eyes
Clench them shut tight
I just hope for break
The light still penetrates
Shines brightly
Highlighting my flaws and past mistakes
Throwing shade on the times I have tried to perpetuate
Some imagines that I associate with memories ...

Mental Knots
Emotions, logic and clarity
All these things
Are scattered within me
But rarely do they meet
I can only describe them
As a ball of tangled strings
They are just all throw together
Quite haphazardly
There is no certainty
Or way of knowing
If these strings
Will end up connecting
Connecting in a positive way
Giving me much needed directing
The strings will occasionally
Come in contact
Forming one piece into two
Giving the rare opportunity
To feel successful
And be complete
If even...

My truth hurts
How can I be so evil
I am a heavy handful
I have been so hard on my family
Done so many awful things to people who loved me unconditionally
I have acted out so brutally
Not just once, it happened frequently
Right now they can't view me as trustworthy
I earned it, I plead guilty.
Years of heavy drug using
Countless times of boozing
Always acting crazily
Everyone felt the rippling
I made them feel nothing but instability
I came clean with no reluctantly
I have been clutching onto my sobriety
Working hard...
