POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
misunderstood person who blends in so well but yet stands out so much. I’m a deep person so I write poetry as a way to put my complicated thoughts on paper.
Rest In Peace with ill intentions
You loved me so much, & I jus wanted you to Rest In Peace.
Almost, every time you to tried to rest you were never at peace.
I did what I could to make sure your slumber was as peaceful as possible.
You thought I had bad intentions, so you decided to attack my character.
Faced with a situation where my words are twisted to fit how you feel I sit in silence.
With words exchanged I finish with I want you to Rest In Peace.
She’s confused on whether my intentions have changed, even though my words haven’t. ...

The selfish One
I maintained a certain structure a man should always carry about himself.
I made sure before you stepped you knew I had your back.
You showed me something I wasn’t prepared to endure.
The crown became yours before you knew you had it.
I took your words as of they were blood promises.
You knew you had my affection & you chose to play mind games.
I became your machine against anyone who spoke ill to you.
As you lay in the past time has made you aware of your wrongdoing.
The chance...

The beast that cried
Our love was symbolic, & That’s why I became emotionally psychotic.
The passion felt so real, That’s why the little things were such a big deal.
I fought through the tears that created the pain, Just to see us remain.
Stuck in a place where you walked out, Let’s replay that moment & let me show you what I’m really bout.
I lost the ability to feel real love, I know this pain didn’t come from above.
(Grab what you can’t see but your heart can feel)

Breathless with memories
You fought your way to grab the strings that played on my heart.
Every day became the first day, started to think life without you wasn’t an option.
A piece of you became my constant reminder, how could you slip away standing right in front of me.
You became like water & slipped through me, your scent lingered & that’s what you wanted.
(I’m choking.... cause you took my breath away)

The picture I chose to paint
I found peace in your attitude.
I found comfort in your negligence.
I found passion in your disrespect.
I found trust in your lies.
I found love in your actions.
Left alone for being alone.
(Shots to the past, guns in the present)

The serpent was beautiful
You gave me the freedom, even though you had me bound by chains.
I was treated like a rabid beast, I watched as you took pleasure In causing physical, psychological & emotional pain to me.
How could you take my love & use it against me?
Manipulation became the main ingredient to my demise.
I ignored everyone who tried to give me the warning shots
You talked a good game but somehow I missed your forked tongue.
(The snake I let me my bed)

The opportunists
You seen a strong chance to make me weak
The power I gave you the ability to seduce my foundation.
Lost in my own perception of how I saw you, your life became my reality.
Your name has been tattooed on my tongue.
I knew I could toss everything that reminded me of you but I could never run from the memories.
The guard rails of my heart came down for you & I became an opportunity when I wasn’t an option.

Keys to the Room
Fell asleep in the arms of your love & woke up under a green light.
Thoughts of you seem to cast a shadow on the walls,
while the Angel sits on my shoulders hoping I make the right decision.
Clouded by the smoke & judged by my actions,
I thought the grass would be greener on the other side.
Tempted to touch the green, because of a jaded Queen she wanted me to be mean.
(The Green Room without temptation)

The game I wasn’t prepared for
Taken lightly & thought I’d always have the red carpet at my feet.
When mistakes were made, you talked I ignored.
I saw that your love came with warning labels I threw them away.
Your loyalty was pure & came at a heavy price.
Your actions showed stability, I purposely caused calamity.
When the time came to move on, your decision was clear based off my actions.
I couldn’t see my lesson until you decided to leave my class for good.

Personal decisions painful incisions
When I knew I had your love, I took it for granted.
You knew quick what my intentions was
I tried to hurt cause I was hurt.
You assured me your love was consistent.
I faked my love hoping you wouldn’t notice
you stayed by me even when I tried to push you away.
I had to understand my own wounds before I could understand yours.
Emotionally hurt from my own incisions)

Threatened by Greatness
I’ve worked my fingers to the bones to build an empire you love to dwell.
Learned lesson from everyone I came in contact with & applied them to my life.
Saw what you were missing & what I could bring to your table
I checked off most things on your list of what you expected from a man.
I gazed & saw forever in your eyes when most only saw the color.
(Mix me with passion)

Code of moral ethics
For respect you gained my attention.
For deceit you earn my warning.
For your love you gain my trust.
For your anger you will sleep feeling cold.
For loyalty you gain my devotion.
For dishonor you will pay with your life.
For your understanding you gain my patience.
(Time will reveal the true in self)
For deceit you earn my warning.
For your love you gain my trust.
For your anger you will sleep feeling cold.
For loyalty you gain my devotion.
For dishonor you will pay with your life.
For your understanding you gain my patience.
