POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Every poem that I have written is about how I have felt at a certain time or something that I have seen or experienced. With the exception of the two horror poems that I attempted to write. I hope to inspire and help people with my poetry.
No More Me And You
Something about you has me going crazy.
Something about you has me searching.
For me, for you, I don't even know who.
I'm confused, I don't know what to do.
When I think about you it physically hurts my chest.
When I'm not around you, it feels like a part of me has left.
If something is wrong with you it hurts my throat.
Basically, my whole entire body just knows.
You're what I want, you're what I need.
You're where I belong, it's meant to be.
You're in every song that I sing.
And every night in every dream.

I Remember
I remember when I would smile all day long.
After any and every moment with you.
I remember when my feelings were so strong.
Even with the horrible things you'd do.
One moment you'd be flirting and laughing.
Happy with life and even happier with me.
The next moment you'd be cruel and yelling.
Saying everything you could until I'd bleed.
Then you'd twist it and say everything was my fault.
I did you wrong and I hurt you.
Everything was so confusing; I soon became lost.
I didn't know what to say or do.
I wanted to fix...

Dissociation
My anxiety spikes and I don’t feel normal.
So I write another page in my poetry journal.
It grounds me so I know it’s not real.
It’s all in my head, it’s what I feel.
It’s a nightmare except I’m awake.
I lose grip, I’m starting to shake.
The goosebumps, they’re all over the place.
A physical reaction to something that’s fake.
A movie I made up inside my mind.
Fears and scenarios of every kind.
I don’t know where they come from, where they hide.
All I know is I can’t stop the movies in my mind.
The world...

If You Didn’t Exist
I try so hard to not wish you death.
But I’m just so damn angry you left.
I know someone else is enjoying your kiss.
It would be easier if you just didn’t exist.
It’s cruel, but it’s true.
Of course I’d miss you.
But I wouldn’t have to wonder.
If she’s the one, do you love her?
Is she a lot better than what I was?
Can she keep you away from drugs?
Will she make you better or worse?
Can I stop worrying now your hers?
I can’t keep caring, it hurts too much.
It’s been a while since I gave up on us. ...

Heart Like Yours
I wish that I could have a heart like yours.
A heart that never cares, never gets hurt.
A heart that breaks, but never fixes.
A heart that lies and plays tricks.
I would give anything to never get attached.
To never worry if a relationship would last.
Not caring about someone’s feelings.
Never having to look for some healing.
I can’t miss someone if I never loved.
I can’t feel their touch if I never hugged.
I never would’ve tasted your lips.
The flashbacks wouldn’t exist.
The dreams wouldn’t consume. ...

Pains of Addiction
I sit around looking at their blank faces.
Wondering if they realize the toll it’s taking.
When the drugs are in their veins, they see nothing else.
I wonder if they look in the mirror and see their self.
Do they see the blank stare with no emotions?
Do they see the tweaking and jerking motions?
Do they see a shell of what they were?
Or is that what they do the drugs for?
To drown their sorrows and take away the pain?
To forget their issues and problems of yesterday?
I try so hard for them to see the hurt in my heart. ...

Loving You and Losing Me
I can’t take this any longer.
I guess I’m not a fighter.
Because I let loving you, lose me.
I’m not the same person, you see.
Every time I did my best to save parts of you.
I didn’t know for one part of you, I lost two.
You took and took until nothing was left.
There isn’t a single part I could have kept.
It took a lot more of me to equal you.
That’s why you’re doing what you do.
You suffocate me, please let me breathe.
You held me tight, please just let me leave.
Stop pulling me back, I don’t want to be...

Answered Prayers
God answered prayers I didn’t know I had.
Got rid of people that I didn’t know were bad.
Ended relationships that would have broken.
Stopped words I tried so hard to be spoken.
Words that weren’t meant to be said.
Helped me get out of the wrong bed.
I didn’t give what couldn’t be returned.
An act that would have just left me hurt.
Friendships that were never repaired.
Because neither person really cared.
Just dragging each other down.
Just watching each other drown.
A marriage that doesn’t have any love. ...

What You Did To Me
I can’t have friends because I leave in a hurry.
All of these thoughts you caused make me worry.
Is he there with someone else?
Or is it still just him by himself?
Do you think he replaced me like he’s tried to before?
Maybe she heard me and went out the back door.
Did she do something better than I did?
Was she more confident in places I hid?
Could she make you feel more in control?
Make you feel like a man in her home?
Maybe she knew how to thrust her hips.
Or maybe the right way to move her lips.

No Tears
There are no more tears along my face.
There are no pictures kept “just in case”.
There is no more hope.
It’s all come to a close.
They think we are meant to be.
It’s okay, I’ll make them all see.
I have finally learned how to let go.
How to keep it all in, not let it show.
My heart is no longer in pieces.
My mind is void of the demons.
The voices who plagued me making me blame myself.
The ones who told me it was something I never felt.
Love for someone who didn’t deserve it.
Feelings that make me...

Gone Too Soon
Another soul taken too soon.
Another loss to make us blue.
You left too soon, we could not bear.
The memories, we will always share.
Look down on us and keep us safe.
We will be together again one day.
For even though another is gone.
Another guardian angel we've won.
We'll remember you until our end.
Another life with you will begin.
This isn't a goodbye, those don't exist.
I'll see you later in our afterlife bliss.

Dark Place
Be careful, those thoughts will take you far.
Be careful, once they start, stopping is hard.
All of those thoughts at once will take you to that dark place.
In the blink of an eye you will be gone without a single trace.
The person who you used to know, nothing but a shell.
An empty vessel trapped in an eternal, neverending hell.
Racing thoughts of how you're not good enough.
People's voices telling you it was never even love.
You never mattered and now you're a joke.
Nothing was true, it was all just a cruel hoax. ...
