POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Most of my poems are about heartbreak. Experience is the name of the game, Bro.
You Had Me All Wrong
I remember that night
When we said all our goodbyes
And I looked into those eyes
Past your beautiful disguise
I saw the death in you.
I never thought I'd see
What you really wanted
To do with me.
Brokenness runs in my family
And heartbreaks in our blood
I guess you should've known
I'd never be any good.
That sidewalk view
Never looked so nice
Staring at your house
While I'm sleeping with the mice.
I'd walk any distance
Just to make it back to my home
To see my mothers face
And the love that I was shown.

The Hospital bed
The smell of stale reds
Can't forget days like these.
The feeling of death
As he took his last breath
Gone, the strongest man I ever knew.
I look in the mirror
And I hate what I see
But I remembered the good times
And everything you said to me
"All you've got
Is your word and handshake
Don't hate yourself
Or the choices that you make
They make you who you are
If you remember that
You'll go far.
And I'll always be with you
Until the day he takes us home."

Telephone Man
Love overcomes
Lust overwhelms
In the past
I cannot dwell
I've been living in hell
For so long I can tell
There is hope somewhere else
In the sky where my God dwells
There is forgiveness
There is repentance
There is redemption
There is consistence
I must live my life
Wrong or right
Black or white
So there's no confusion
So pick your poison
Life is a documentary
Of misery and heartbreak
And my heart aches
At the thought
Of all I've had
And all I've lost
But to die
Is to gain
And to live is...

Reach For Me
When you start to fall
I feel it
The emptiness in your soul.
You reach from the gallows
bellow, I see and reach down.
You grab my hand and I
Let.
You.
Fall.
I feel it
The emptiness in your soul.
You reach from the gallows
bellow, I see and reach down.
You grab my hand and I
Let.
You.
Fall.

Stay Away
Im tired of being hurt.
Tired of being used.
Just stay away if you could
my heart was abused.
All these harlots
just make me feel worthless.
I give them a million chances
They tear it up meaningless.
Gosh, all these feelings
are rushing at me now.
Could you just stay away
and leave me alone now?
Only one truley cared.
My underneath lover.
But shes gone now too
couldn't lose her.

They call it Summer Love
Sometimes I wonder,
Sometimes I think
would it be better
just to drink
my pain away. Kill
it at the source.
Memories of you
and all the remourse.
Never did you ever
appreciate anything i did.
Everyone I left
Losing time to be a kid.
All the girls i meet
proclaim love and leave.
I thought you were different.
Your name hidden in sleeve.
I know you say its "Hurting" you
but inside its killing me.
Maybe the drugs can help.
Mabye the gun could love me.
Maybe if I could pick locks...

You Promised
You see this?
This is me.
Putting myself out there.
Giving you my heart
The lock and the key.
They call it falling
because touching down hurts.
They call it breaking
because it bursts.
They call it love
because Its lost.
No I dont hate you
Yes I still care
Never again will I put myself out there.

Til Death.
Getting hard for me to handle
to hard for me to bare
that if I walk by your house
I know he'll be there.
Im getting tired of waiting
but I dont want another gal.
I want you to be my lover
and my closest pal.
Im seen you too many times
in my head, to count.
Running through my head, scenarios
of heartbreak and doubt.
At night, your name
my heart screams out.
Only of you to think
or dream about.
I'd hold you when you
weren't mine to hold.
You made me feel so strong
and ever-so bold.
God, I...

Grandmother (R.I.P. 6/1/2012)
Filled with the stench of
Soiled linnin, and feces.
It pains my heart to know
Mammy was a prisoner of these.
They ask if im okay
and give me sorrow.
If they really knew me like she did
They would see behind the fascade.
They would know, at night I cry
myself to sleep, for the loss of two,
I lost my uncle and now my grandmother.
But trust me, ill never forget you.
This earth wont be as bright without you.
It will lack the humor and the color.
Everything seems to get worse
Now its all gone to shit, with the loss of...

Dont Wake Me.
She tries her best
Just to impress
guys that dont care.
But I love her so much
its not even fair.
She's just the type of
girl i always wanted.
She has my heart by the seam.
Everytime I have her
I wake up from my dream.
I never can sleep just enough
to dream a life with her.
But we've drove to Las Vegas
and made love by the ocean.
The dream is contagious.
She laughs so cutely,
Dresses so elegant,
isn't afraid to be herself.
She wants him not me,
but I want her all to myself.
She's the only one...

You Have Been Forgiven Old Friend.
Ya know, You can leave me
But why the poor guy?
He didnt deserve it
and neither did I.
I love you
You loved me
We had something
It was chemistry.
But I wont be upset
Ill be your friend.
Despite all the pain
and tears falling like rain.
Do you remember that movie we seen?
We didnt plan to kiss
But look what happened.
Your the only girl I always miss.
You've broken my heart
Thats for sure.
How much pain
can I endure?
I miss you,
I love you.
I still dont
believe its true.
