POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
So many things to say, that can't be said through the mouth so it comes out as word vomit. Writing is much neater and easier to release all emotions in a way. Read. I hope you enjoy.
Love At First Sight
You know what love at first sight means?
I tried to forget this feeling,
But it's too late, I'm in love now.
I'm falling for your eyes,
But they don't know me yet.
I was made to keep you warm,
But I'm as cold as the wind blows.
So hold me in your arms.
Hold me like you want to be loved.
Settle down with me,
Let me be your safety.
Lay down with me,
Cover me up,
Cuddle me in.
Butterflies in my stomach,
Heart is pounding out of my chest.
This feels like...

The Climb
My thoughts spin me around,
Letting me down.
Time after time.
I am a expert at the fall.
Regardless of my fight,
I don't move forward.
I am going up a hill,
Only to find it just gets steeper.
Digging my fingers in the ground,
Just trying not to fall.
I lose grip to violently tumble down.
Scraped, bruised and bloody,
I keep trying.
This is for the ones who think they can't,
The ones who lost all faith.
This is for the ones who need a end,
Who think...

This Foolish Heart of Mine
The air around me still feels like bars.
My space is getting smaller and smaller.
Claustrophobia sets in.
Trying to breathe but you sucked all the oxygen away.
With your words as sharp as razors,
Cutting at my human flesh.
My skin breaks and peels,
Seems it will never heal.
Run your tongue along my cheek,
taste the tears you brought.
The tears you seem to love to see.
Your eyes are just more bloodshot than normal.
I am the closet you cannot close.
Your the devil in...

It Gets Better
Is this feeling even possible??
Just when things seemed done, gone, dark
A burst of light shines on my soul
With a fresh mind and fresh eyes
I see what I want, what I gotta do.
The most important thing to remember,
When life throws you off balance,
Never give up.
Anything is possible.
Just when your on that ledge,
Getting ready to jump and give it all away,
Remember there is help closer than you think.
There is so much to live for,
Dry your eyes and stand back up.
Brush the dirt off your knees,
It gets better.
I got that sparkle...

The Rules.. Just Saying
This rope constricting me made of all your sweet lines.
I don't expect anything from you, because I am that ride or die type.
Bonnie N Clyde type love, Yea that's what this is.
Most people don't think you deserve me.
I wanna be out, in the worse way.
I see you got some flavor too,
And so do I so them mix and do what we gotta do.
Seems like you got some voodoo on me baby because I sure do want to do what you do.
Your the only one I wanna sink my teeth into.
All day and every night,
Just hold me close...

Nothing Worse Than Catching A Scrub
You said I love you,
Hell I said it too.
The only difference is,
That I didn't lie to you.
You know what??
I am not even going to get bent over this.
I have had just enough of this.
I am damn too good for this.
Don't expect me to be there when you realize,
The time was here but now its gone,
Gone beyond repair.
All your lovely comments I done cut them all up and blew them away. Gone.
Wish me well even though you said go to hell.

Do You Notice
Here we are,
At the bar like every Friday with all our friends.
It gets harder and harder every time I see you.
Why do I feel this way?
We are just friends.
But you have my heart and it aches.
Do you notice when our eyes meet,
The weakness I have for you,
The tears I try so hard to hide.
Do you notice when I start to blush, when someone says your name.
In my stomach there's a pain,
See you walking my direction and I go the other way.
Whats the reason why I scream in my...

Don't You Deserve To Be Happy
That's how they want you
Bound, cuffed and blindfolded
Not me though, I rise up above it all
I will stand for what I believe
Until I am on the floor black and blue
Bloody and mangled,
I will piece myself together
My opinions are strong like titanium
Bulletproof.
I base my opinions on truths
Not errors, I don't lack discernment
Trying to put your remedial thoughts in my head,
Is like trying to put hardened concrete into a mold,
It just wont happen.

Goodbye
So many memories, some good some bad
A lot of blowups and come ups
Sometimes making up is easier than breaking up
Ignore the fact our relationship has withered away
We just sit around and cry,
because neither of us wants to be the first say goodbye...
Why would a heart hold on to something that isn't there?
Its as if we are in the last lap of the race we call love
Holding on to keep from hurting feelings
But why care? Is it always this bittersweet?
Seeing what needs to be done but that weight in your...

Mirror
Who do you think you are?
Staring at me with those judgmental eyes
I don't judge so why do you judge me
Reminding everyday of what I am not
Seeping inadequate thoughts in my head
But your not perfect yourself
I see the lies in disguise
The front you put on, come on lets be blunt
Though every time I look at you tears start to flood,
as my mind is overwhelmed with insecure thoughts and plague
I see the evidence of what you have done,
and your world is starting to...
