POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Fact or Fiction
Sometimes I wonder if your as sad as I imagine you to be. Sitting alone and thinking about all of your regrets.
And a part of me hopes it’s even more painful then just that. That it’s a wrenching pain in your heart that haunts you in the back of your head at every moment of your life. Like the way you words haunt me.
They whisper in my ear to remind me how to fail and how to not live my life they way I want because it’s pointless to waste that kind of life on someone like me.

Sometimes I wish you knew the pain I held for you. The pain that masked itself as normality but really it was a disease you infected me with since childhood.

In This Room
Its as cold as December
In this empty room with you
The air we breath is heavy
Oh how it burns in our lungs
Afraid to speak what we fear
What if these walls close in on us
But I'm here to stay
I'm here to say
I will be with you
If you want me to
These regrets poured into our hearts
Until they burst from in our chest
Sunk what's left of what we had
Left us standing here alone
Here in this empty room
But I'm here to stay
I'm here to say
I'm not giving up on you
Not even if you asked me to
Even at our...

Bitter Song
I kept the lights off to long
The switch rusted away
But I'm still holding on
To whats soon
To be a bitter end
I've given a lot of thought
to the way a heart can grieve
It breaks and tears until it bleeds
But i won't cry anymore
No not anymore
I hear her voice again
She'll be the death of me
She's always breaking in
Infecting everything
I've given a lot of thought
To the way a heart can grieve
It breaks and tears until it bleeds
No I'm not going to fight for you
Not anymore

Day Worth Living For
Isn't this what you wanted
Is this not what you planned
Did you care to think what might happen
If i lost the will to hold your hand
We are the ones who kept quiet
We are the ones who suffer silent
We are the ones who struck the blow
We are the ones who should have known
Looking back won't bring the future
To days worth living for
No it won't bring her back to you
I'm not her anymore
We are the ones who kept quiet
We are the ones who suffer silent
We are the ones who struck the blow

My Great Divide
You are my haunted past
The daunting memories i can't shake
Your the broken bones in this cast
My greatest mistake
You are my cuts from yesterday
My scars for the moment
Your the bullets in this gunplay
And I'm my only opponent
Your the voice in my head
Such deafening sound
Your world would be better if I'm dead
If my body was in the ground
You are my great divide
The cause for all this pain
Of course, all this you would have denied
If I'd bothered to explain
Your the finger on the trigger
Getting ready...

puzzle
It's a puzzle
Putting these pieces back together
So fragile and so careful not to hurt them
Slowly as i put these pieces together
I see a picture begin to form
There's a lack of color
A lack of hope
Missing pieces i search to find
To put back together what one was mine
To fix the broken heart of the one i love
Binding the fragments to heal him
I wish so much i could steal your pain
Your regret
Your hate
I wish i could protect your broken heart
Take back the bad moments and remove their stain
Replace them with pieces time

The Con
He takes the knife to make the incision
To steal your heart with out permission
He doesn't care enough to stitch you back up
Be decides to let you bleed from the cut
He infects you false affection
So that love has no choice but rejection
You place him above everything you believe
Because that's the way he wants you deceived
How could you let yourself be do fooled
Let all you mistrust be overruled
When things went wrong it's because your "weak"
How many times will you look away as he cheats
He speaks his...

Do you think anyone would notice
I hope to God someone notices
Just another day that's bad
Left alone to remember I'm sad
Trapped in the depths of my clever hell
Where I've condemned myself so very well
What if i stopped ever trying
Because all that's left started dying
Wasting away to nothing but a stain
For all my efforts were in vain
I've kept these feelings in the dark
Now my hearts been ripped apart
I'm just feeding my own pain
Cuz I've got nothing left to
What if i ended it right here

whore
She presses the button
Casting her seducing spell
Are you that pathetic
To touch yourself for thrills
You lust for attention
You stupid whore
Have you nothing better to do
Then display your sexual corruption
Its as naked as your body
Your pathetic life you lead
You think your that charming
Your more repulsive then my ass
You think touching yourself is alluring
You pitiful bitch
Showing the world your skin gets you hot
You delusional slut
You share your ecstasy with all
As if we give a damn
You have...

Awaiting will all thoughts
Life turns a blind corner
Stomach turning into knots
While sorrow falls upon her
Color abandons the soul
Left alone in the darkness
There is nothing to take hold
Falling fast like its pointless
Put back all feeling
Except the pain of regret
Never really healing
I don't deserve that yet
Cringing with the pain
This poison leaves me still
Fears bleed a stain
Waiting for the kill
Every time i fall down
Gets me father from you
Till your no where around
Leaving pain i never knew
Life turns a blind corner
Stomach turning into knots
While sorrow falls upon her
Color abandons the soul
Left alone in the darkness
There is nothing to take hold
Falling fast like its pointless
Put back all feeling
Except the pain of regret
Never really healing
I don't deserve that yet
Cringing with the pain
This poison leaves me still
Fears bleed a stain
Waiting for the kill
Every time i fall down
Gets me father from you
Till your no where around
Leaving pain i never knew

reverie
I dream about the forms of words
I tell to you so you would know
It's not about the cuts and burns
But of the way we wished it go
I dream about the days to come
Some good and some just to long
Every minute is the beat of a drum
Sounding to my lives own song
I dream of times that used to be
Every thing seems fine and happy
Then the feeling of regret comes over me
Its back to reality and gloom time
I dream of ways for me to run
To be so far away from here
Where happiness never comes undone
And we live in a place we never...
